I wonder what are the chances that the dems are shitting the bed as much as possible as to make sure Trump's four years are absolutely miserable and with problems extremely tricky to solve so they can say that Trump is an incompetent leader.

You really can't say they wouldn't be that petty

I dunno bro. They've been doing that for 8 years now.

Y'know, the infighting discourse of the trannies used to be "do you have a gender dysphoria diagnosis or not" and lemme tell you that was a fastpass to getting labeled as a person with internalized transphobia.

Flash forward, to CURRENT YEAR. Imagine my shock, my surprise, and my amusement, that the next step in stupid tranny bickering is:

"Innie vs Outie."

Bill O'Riley is one of those dudes who I classify as "incredibly smart, but unlikable." Not a very charismatic dude, but I have to admit that he's right about a lot of things for the most part.

I remember years ago when he had a debate with Jon Stewart ... And Jon Stewart showed that he didn't know the difference between the national debt and the national deficit (and yet his fans claimed that he "smoked" O'Riley).

God, I hate Jon Stewart ...

If I recall correctly I believe this goes all the way back to Obama’s re-election where people talked about how Obama ‘reduced the deficit’ which just meant that we were losing money slightly less faster than the prior.

It does fund all of those things, but politicians just cut that same amount from what they would have otherwise spent out of the usual budget. It's the same with gambling or anything else politicians have managed to tax under the pretense of using the revenue for the children. I would be okay with this is my taxes went down in turn, but that never seems to fucking happen for some reason.



Olbermann developed terminal political brain rot long before he ever came down with an acute case of TDS. I'll never know why anyone thought it was a good idea to let a sports commentator have a political show, but if he wasn't on Sports Center 30 years ago no one would pay him any mind. That he's relegated to screaming into the void of social media should tell everyone how irrelevant he is now.

If you want to be charitable, the inciting incident that permanently broke Olberman was his dad's death in the early 10s. Before that, Olberman was a cunt but one everyone loved and who people put up with. He ultimately got forced out from MSNBC because he kept skipping work and invoking his dad's death as his excuse (while bring caught attending ball games), which allowed Rachel Maddow to present herself as "Keith but without the baggage" as she had just gotten her show and while Keith's fill in hosts had garbage ratings, Rachel held her own rating wise.

IIRC the final straw was Keith getting busted doing under the table donations to Democrat candidates and being suspended, which led to his being fired and blackballed. Which Rachel (who was Keith's protege and who got her her show on the network as Dan Abrams wanted nothing to do with her because of her then ties as Tucker Carlson's pet lesbian liberal sidekick) has made permanent as far as story being that so long as Rachel is part of the network in any form or fashion, Keith's pretty much banned from the network. Which is why they didn't bring him back at the height of MSNBC's jihad against Trump.

The Dems will definitely try to make the next four years shit wether they win or not. They'll sink lower than petty because they will never understand why they lost in 2016.

Yeah, I have a lot of disdain for Keith, but I just can't hate the guy. He truly put his dad ahead of himself, and put spending some of the last time he had with him over his career ambitions. His deep love for animals helps too.
he has some really good takes on baseball cards too, heh. Very remarkable collection.

I have a lefty relative who is very exasperated over Trump supposedly declaring in the past day that he'll use the military against "the enemy from within", namely Adam Schiff. Anyone here know what this is about and the truth of it? I don't trust the media and have a feeling this is another "bloodbath" misconstruing, but I can't find any mention of it here.

Here is an article from a left-leaning news site on the "the enemy from within" statement from Trump.

Even Team Trump Is Panicking Over His Fascist Military Threat​

Even Donald Trump’s MAGA allies are in disbelief over the Republican presidential nominee’s recent comments.

Several leading Republicans have outright refused to acknowledge that direct quotes from Trump’s weekend interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo were actually what he said. Trump claimed on video that the real election threat in November was his critics, such as California Representative Adam Schiff, whom he referred to as “the enemy from within,” and that the military should be called in to forcibly intervene with the election.

Speaking with CNN Tuesday morning, Florida Representative Mike Waltz dismissed the idea that Trump had used such language, claiming that it was instead the network’s attempt at “connecting some dots.”

“I don’t think that’s what he said, John,” Waltz told host John Berman, before pointing to civil unrest and mass protests during 2020. “I think that’s completely appropriate, the National Guard was rolled out then.… We cannot have, nor should we have, riots in the streets, business owners threatened, and Americans feeling unsafe.”

“Do you think deploying the military against political opponents is something that’s responsible to discuss from political candidates?” Berman asked, after a curt back-and-forth.

“I think it’s responsible to discuss deploying the National Guard, which is clearly part of the military, John, to keep our streets safe, to keep rioters out of the streets,” Waltz said.

But Trump hadn’t just threatened to send out the National Guard—instead, he specified the use of the larger military apparatus.

“We have some very bad people,” Trump said on Sunday. “We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they’re the—and it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin also struggled Monday evening to rationalize the MAGA leader’s violent rhetoric, stunning CNN host Jake Tapper, who had to remind the governor that Trump had “literally” said those words.

“Again, Jake, I don’t think that, and again, I can’t speak for him, but I do—I do think that you are misinterpreting and misrepresenting his thoughts,” said Youngkin. “I do believe, again, it’s all around the fact that we have had an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants come over the border in an unconstrained, unrestrained fashion. The Biden-Harris administration has allowed it to happen … I don’t think that he’s referring to elected people in America.”

“But I’m literally reading his quotes,” proclaimed Tapper. “I’m literally reading his quotes to you. And I played them earlier, so you could hear that they were not made up by me.”

“I don’t—I don’t believe that’s what he’s saying,” Youngkin insisted.

Even Trump’s own campaign team is rushing to sanewash the comments. The campaign posted a video Monday of Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz directly quoting Trump’s threat.

“Tim Walz peddles a disgusting lie that President Trump will use the U.S. Army against his political opponents,” the campaign wrote on X. “This is reckless, dangerous rhetoric. Tim should be ASHAMED of himself.”
