US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

Candidly, I don't think it's necessarily HCFS as an ingredient - it's the sheer scalability of the product that allowed junk food to become so ubiquitous. Ultra-processed food can be produced in bulk, lasts much longer, and is generally is much easier to eat in major quantities. Not only that, but modern junk food is uniquely tailored to make it addicting - there's a direct economic incentive for the junk food companies to do this to the furthest extent they can get away with legally.

In my opinion the reforms RFK Jr will impose if he gets in will fundamentally disrupt the food industry in America. It's going to be absolute chaos in the short run and I worry about how well the Trump administration will weather the political backlash. He's going to make an enemy of some seriously powerful corporate conglomerates.

I think key to it is winning over Big Ag. They have a vested interest in dumping HFCS into foods to boost the price of corn. What needs to be done is say "okay, we're gonna turn all this corn that would've been made into HFCS into ethanol instead." We use E10 fuel in most cars, so this could lower gas prices by a few cents a gallon. They could also go back to promoting FlexFuel again since that will become even cheaper. This would be a huge step toward energy and fuel self-sufficiency (and carbon footprint goals if you're into that, sure would be funny if Trump did it better than leftists without banning cars and making us eat bugs). And if we need a replacement like actual sugar, we could be increasing sugar production in the Deep South. Right now it survives mostly because of tariffs and subsidies, but getting rid of HFCS would give it a big market. So this could be a big opportunity for Big Ag if the government plays it right.

Shapiro is dead in the water because he is an IDF jew. Even if Trump helps negotiate the end of the current Gaza conflict during his first year. The stigma around the IDF among lefties would still be there by the time he runs in 2028, not to mention Trump would win a lot of brownie points with the muslims if he does end the conflict which is another demographic the dems are losing their grip on.

The part of the nearest city to be with all the Muzzies and kebab restaurants had a strange amount of Trump and Republican candidate signs in it this year. Between the far-left social agenda, the Zionism, and the patronizing way Democrats treat minorities, it's not surprising to me that Muzzies might be more Republican than you'd think. Although I guess these are the more productive Muzzies. Muhammad the kebab shop owner probably doesn't like excessive government regulations anymore than his American counterparts.

What's the gist of this backstory.

For reference and TMI, I've marched in a King Nigger inauguration (you're welcome). I don't understand how it would even get to the the point of removing someone from that shitty experience, but that was yesteryear. TBF, he didn't miss much. You wake up at the asscrack of dawn from WW2 barracks to go stand outside, march for a little bit, wait in formation outside for hours while globohomo eats lunch, then march again.

ZOMG YOU WOULDN'T LET A DOCTOR SAVE SOMEONE FROM A HEART ATTACK JUST CUZ THEYRE GAY!?!?!

YES

And it gets turned into: "ZOMG YOU WOULDN'T LET A DOCTOR SAVE SOMEONE FROM A HEART ATTACK JUST CUZ THEYRE GAY!?!?!"

"Well yeah but the Hurricane relief teams felt UNSAFE being around Trump voters so they left them to die. We fired her so that's the end of it. THEY JUST FELT UNSAFE OK?!?!"

The $64,000 question might be how do the Dems make Kamala likable and electable to anyone other than a diehard Democrat should she run again in 2028. They failed miserably at that in 2024 and the party playbook is to double down instead of figuring out what went wrong and make changes.

It'll only be the $57,000 question by then. Trump will reverse inflation.

Apparently everyone was supposed to raise their right hand? To wave or something? Whatever it was, Joe's the only one not doing it. Maybe they're waving goodbye to Joe? That would explain it.

Kamala is the 2028 Primary frontrunner, because according to the Democrats, she ran a flawless campaign and Trump only won because of cheating or something shut up LITERALLY HITLER 500 FLEONIES PUSSY GRABBING FASCIST IT WAS HER TURN AND IT WAS HER TURN TOO reeee.

But yeah, how do the dems deal with "the kamala problem?" Because as the nominee, she's the presumptive nominee in 2028 unless they get her to fuck off. If she doesn't just fade away until primary season, she becomes a huge problem for them.

While it would be hilarious if the DNC put her in the spotlight again, I really don't see it happening.

She raised over a billion dollars for her campaign, and still somehow ended up in significant debt. No way is the DNC going to let this alcoholic skank near the primaries again.

At most, she could become governor of California after Newsom.

They'd have to find non-crazy people to run though.

And a non-crazy base to vote for them. With how many moderates the Dems have been losing it wouldn't suprise me if the next primary is a purity spiral to the bottom to appeal to the far left diehards.

Yeah this is the kind of shit Trump understands and doesn't let slide. And btw so has every American president before Biden, ever since group photos of national rulers became a thing. The American president should be front row and no more than two people from center in any group photo of national rulers. Anyone that doesn't like it can go suck a fat one

 

[AN/ALR56]

I’m now convinced Bill Clinton voted for Trump. He looks optimistic and says Trump can do well. He also fucked over every Kamala rally he was in. I think a big part of him knows that Dem’s current platform is too crazy.

He probably would never come out and actually support Trump other than this because of his bitch wife.

I fucking love the jouno painting him as a retired guy in NY when there's feds who can't dress without looking like feds from 500 yards away just behind them.

I remember Trump joking say (paraphrasing) that Bobby can do all he wants with food but he stays away from oil.

Imagine if RFK indirectly pushes for biodiesel and/or ethanol, Elon keeps pushing his electric cars, and Trump goes for his black gold.

Keeps the various energy markets competitive and funnels corn away from corn syrup and into green fuels for feel-good points.

California is getting sick of Dem rule and it is starting to show in the polls. If Newsom pissed off Californians enough to get a recall election triggered, Kamala might be the straw that breaks the camels back. Especially if we have a strong republican or independent canadate.

Would that be better or worse?

Oh, it shouldn't go unnoticed that Trump flipped a lot of blue counties in CA to red two weeks ago.

However, I personally do not see CA flipping red in a single election cycle (if it ever does become a red state again, that is). If Kamala is going to become governor of CA, then she best be planning to do it sooner than later.

Would that be better or worse?

You mean better or worse than Newscum? As far as governing goes, it'll be about the same. Newscum is a better politician than Kamala is though, so it'll appear worse for her.

 

[Biggest Bubba]

You guys all are talking like the dems have any full plans at all. All the have are fractions of plans because of the fractures of Hillary and Kamalas losses caused. You can't have a functional party when both halves are trying to eat each other alive

I think a red California is coming soon. The state is at it's breaking point. The Republicans have learned how the fortification game is played and getting election reforms is going to be high on Trump's agenda. When that happens California is in play. It would also be really funny if they stopped counting non citizens for representation in the house leading to a drop in their federal power.

At 1:51 in that video... are you fucking kidding me? They had to pick out of a five-number permutation 46664? For fuck's sake.

Is there something weird about that I'm not getting? Its a glowing AIDS nonprofit named after Nelson Mandela's prison number.

It probably was just random. The thing about randomness, is that outcomes that dont 'look random' are equally likely as any other outcome that doesn't. People are notoriously bad at generating random numbers. For instance if you ask people to name a number 1-10 you dont get anything close to a uniform distribution, more than half of everyone will say 3 or 7.

This is as unlikely as a Blue Texas. Demographics just aren't there for it and you'd need to see California's fraud machine and its allowance of illegal voting gone before you even had a chance. What you are likely to see is more and more of its house seats going Red until it really is just the major cities.

So he just wants people to be honest and know what they are putting into their bodies. What's wrong with that?

Absolutely nothing, its why he got the cabinet position he did.
