Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other, that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

AA, i my experience, really doesn't push any particular religion and certainly nothing political. It's just a bunch of people sitting around telling stories about how sick they used to be and, hopefully, how much better things are now that they've stopped drinking and leaning on each other for support. I found it extremely helpful for beginning sobriety, less so as the years went on. I eventually felt strong enough in my sobriety to stop attending, and I think that's true for most people.

It would be disappointing if the plan was for her to actually win, because she's the Dem version of Sarah Palin.

I mean, they could make Biden step down from running, but not just hand the reins over to Kamala immediately. The Dems get to say that the first female president is one of theirs. And somehow that didn't happen. It's not like she isn't allowed two full terms at this point, so why not force Biden out unless they really, really need Kamala not to prove she can't do the job before the people weigh in on it.

There are a few reasons why the Marines like Mattis.
  • He was an aggressive commander and often told his Marines to bring the fight to the enemy, so the more gung-ho frontline soldiers liked him. This was why Mattis relieved Colonel Joe Dowdy in 2003: Dowdy's soldiers all say that he was a great commander who really cared about his men, but that made him cautious and defensive, which slowed down the whole operation. Mattis wanted his Marines to get in there and fight.
  • Mattis, even at higher ranks, would walk along frontline positions and ask Marines how they were doing. There are also a ton of eyewitnesses who confirm that Mattis would literally walk around frontline positions while bullets were flying and his Marines were in foxholes. This gave Mattis a reputation for being absolutely fearless.
  • Mattis was 100% devoted to the Marine Corps, never sold the branch or his soldiers short, and very much embodied the esprit de corps.
His political career notwithstanding, Mattis earned the respect of his soldiers.

The big story floating around was that Mattis took over a christmas watch so the enlisted guy could spend christmas with his family. Mattis was a morale raiser but a bad politican. Need more mattises than milleys. (i only know
milley from his white rage bullshit that causes the current recruitment crisis)

McCain at least had a near-20 year history of running successful political campaigns before he tried for the presidency. Kamala, on the other hand, was chosen very early on by the machine to be their next superstar and hasn't had to work for anything. She wasn't supposed to not even make Iowa in 2020; the field had been set for her to take the whole thing.

I doubt the Democrats are going to learn anything from this because Trump is their perfect excuse for everything. But if there's one thing the party desperately needs it's to find names outside the strongholds (NYC, California, Chicago). If Newsom is the next bet, I don't know if it's going to be much better. Newsom is a more politically savvy creature than Kamala and a FAR better communicator, but he's got the same underlying issue of not being able to handle a critical question or interview.

Democrats refer to this as The Bubble and somehow a technocrat among them keeps piping up in their own debate salon with some useless Midwest trivia or Clinton lore to convince themselves it's worthless to adopt any single principle that people outside the bubble believe in.

Then they see Mexican (Americans) living on the US side of the Texas border asking in Spanish "we want Trumpacabrara to finish the damn wall" and the tent cities in their own parks and sidewalks in the bubble have grown 10x in size and now that it's too late, they're FINALLY relenting.

New exciting possible ploy:

If they can’t kill Trump, why not kill Biden via a ‘MAGA’ cultist? Boosts democrats, demoralizes non-MAGA Trump support, it could work.

Due to the dei Rot in the glowie orgs the killer would immediately be exposed as a glowie asset. Wouldn’t look good if the opposition to trump got it in their heads thar their compatriots could and would put a bullet in their heads if they felt it would serve the greater good

They’re really in a pickle they can’t make any movements one way or the other their own stupidity and short sightedness to get all the “wins” they did in the last 8-16 years have finally caught up to them.

She has the most powerful people in the world behind her and lots of $$, they have access to the god-mode feature in ai pic generators to make real life still or 60fps shit without artifacts. They could put a body double on CNN, they could pay CNN to let them do as many takes as needed to get it perfect and so many other things on and on they could have done so why aren't they doing any of these things?

So either these people are irrational and incompetent but still have access to next generation tech, the unblinking and total loyalty of everyone who works as a crew monkey in Atlanta. This suggests none of these people are a long-term threat since they can't pursue ends rationally or optimally.

Or the Dems are not quite the villains you suspect, and they're just kind of bullshitting us about whatever power and reach they have, and elite coordination effects we see are not centrally directed, certainly not by this group of retards, and the world is much less determined than people in this thread think

Interdasting. Guys I don’t think that whole mass deportations thing is feasible.

Doesn't account for the jobs that unemployed Americans would gain from higher tariffs and doing the jobs the illegal immigrants currently do. Also, would love ot know what the forecasts would do if we deported everyone who didn't have a job and how people being paid with illegal money and gaining benefits they aren't entitled to would effect the economy in the long term. Lots of variables here that aren't accounted for in their model.

Another thing, rought estimates put illegal immigration increasing by 4 million during the Biden campaign but illegal immigrant job estimates were increasing by less than a million. So we just take care of 3/4 of the world because 1/4 of them become a chattel underclass that does work for cheap? Doesn't seem right to me.

Zapata County, TX is the most Hispanic county in the USA, somewhere around 90% Hispanic.

Given the huge immigration wave during Biden, everyone living there had been dealing with trespassers and highway crime, and there were dozens of armed fire incidents coming from the river next to them, watch them vote 100% por La Trumpacabara.

It really does seem like they've given up

Maybe you're right and they realize they can't win so they're just gonna milk as much money from this while pretending to show effort and then leaving

Beto O'Rourke and Stacy Abrams have gotten extremely wealthy by skimming off campaign funds with barely any intention on truly wining, especially Beto. It pays well to lose like this.

They've blown about $1b on harris, that's a lot of grease to go around.
