I know that despite my political leanings shifting, I do still believe that JFK was one of the few Democrat presidents who didn't have a complete batshit insane stance on many things, as well as actually preventing a literal nuclear-level crisis. Explains why he was assassinated in one of the most infamous shots.

So I do want to know if I'm completely wrong or not.
Both parties obviously have had their issues, but the Democratic Party really went downhill with LBJ and how they rigged the primaries after the mess that was 1968. The Deep State apparatus that they had been building since Woodrow Wilson and FDR was also used in a huge smear campaign against Nixon.

However, even early 2000s politics are completely different from today. The Democratic Party of today was largely built by Obama and Hillary Clinton. In 2016 they went full mask-off, repackaging neoliberalism as globohomo.

I remember going to a Noam Chomsky event in 2016 (lol), he was urging us to vote for Hillary because even though he claimed that the DNC was evil, they were the "lesser evil" because of global warming.

Bernie became cucked the same way, dropping whatever "ideals" he had to rim Hillary's ass.

In 2016 they realized that the radicals would all support megacorporations and the DNC as long as they went woke. That's why you have so many leftists today simping for Target and even defending the fucking federal government.

Sorry for derailing your comment but my point is that JFK was fine but the Democratic Party and the Republican Party of his time no longer exist.
 
The stupidest thing about them crying over the 5 bullet points email is that they say they can't email classified information, but the email tells them NOT to, so literally all they have to do is send back

This past week I accomplished:
-[REDACTED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION]
-[REDACTED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION]
-[REDACTED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION]
-[REDACTED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION]
-[REDACTED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION]

And that would probably be good enough! But no, they'd rather Rick Roll and get fired on principle!
Literally anyone could.
-Wrangled my new obviously autismo apprentice into actually thinking about his work instead of babbling about star trek and giggling about jokes in his head
-Installed X at Y
-Fixed X at Y
-corrected X at Y
-Fucked ur mom
Fed workers are landed aristocracy crying that the new king took away their land and now they have to farm the land they helped salt.

Thank you for the information, but I shall mention that my mother, who I'll just name "Danu", believed that the government and my home state would've been better if we'd voted for Bernie...and yet she conveniently forgets the fact that he just became another one of Hillary's coat tailers, probably because he wasn't willing to stick with the DNC's pure woke guidelines and offending a woman (gasp).

Danu really needs to get her ass out of the gutter and see what the world has become.
 
How many foreigners have 5 million dollars to burn?
300k and thats if they're spending 20% or less of their life savings, any percentage more than that would be fucking insane, also not accounting for the fact that most international people with 5 million dollars to burn are married or have kids.
It passed with a very narrow majority vote. Curious to see how it will do in the Senate.
it will fail

Eh, a little bit of column A little bit of column B. His domestic policies look very modern Republican with some old democratic twists. Basically his plan was to slash taxes for both American corporations and the individual, reducing the tax brackets to be lower on both high and low ends. He also planned on expanding infrastructure (mind you, this was in the 60s when some of the poorest parts of the US still didn't have running water) in historically poorly served areas of the country, he specifically focused on Appalachia, to make them more prosperous so that even with a reduced tax burden, the individuals would be more prosperous, which would make up for it. Basically the idea of "20% of $100,000 is more than 30% of $60,000." He also wanted to provide tax breaks for anyone starting a small business with plans to hire additional people.
(As an aside, there's a very good chance that if his Appalachian infrastructure bill passed, much of the suffering in North Carolina could've been avoided, because he specifically mentioned the Army Corps of engineers building drainage canals to reduce the damage of seasonal flooding).

On foreign policy he was very weak. Everyone remembers him as being the guy that stopped the Cuban Missile Crisis, but the history books fail to mention it was his fault it happened in the first place. The Berlin Wall happened under his watch, and seized East German documents we got after the Cold War showed that they fully expected the Americans to just come and rip it down, and were absolutely shocked when the Americans didn't. It should be mentioned that the Berlin Wall was originally a razor wire fence that was erected literally overnight by Soviet and East German soldiers. The Soviets were emboldened by Kennedy's lack of response and started pushing the boundaries elsewhere, eventually leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis. It should also be noted that it wasn't a slam dunk victory. In return for removing their missiles from Cuba, we removed our missiles from Turkey, which gimped our potential nuclear response in Europe.

Just like most things, the truth is never as glamorous as we'd like it to be, but he was by no means a bad president.
 
I don't want to jump to the conclusion that this is the product of a paid troll farm, it could just be brainrotted individuals repeating the same meme that makes them feel good over and over (and gets them updoots), but you do know what the radical left likes to do: accuse you of doing to them what they intend to do to you. e.g. "you are literally killing meee aaaaa!"
I swear either leftists are made in factories, or the dead internet theory is true. Probably both. Honestly kinda scary being an actual human surrounded by drones.

I mean there was something that like 40% of people don’t have internal monologue right? We literally have human robots walking among us.
 
Wanted to share some tiktoks and comments that I found interesting because they give some insight into the thoughts and strategies on the other side of the fence.

"Uh, guys, why don't we go back to the status quo? It's been working so well these past 60+ years. Don't you want to stay on top of the world. I mean, trying to get the country back on its feet and reinvigorate it would only benefit China. Remember that? The country we've been giving everythi- the victory to! When it's doing nothing! Besides, we'll keep giving them state intelligence let China grow stronger by doing things that actually benefit the paypigs TAXPAYERS! Wait, stop! Don't take away our money! That's not yours! You can't keep it! We're on top, we stole it fair and square! Stop! No! Think of the pansexual trans-binary Ugandans! The innocent people of calories! Stop! Don't you dare! No! No! NOOO!!!!"
 
You’d think these guys would realize that any woman trying to get a job at the Trump campaign and then showing sexual interest would be an obvious plant.
You'd think so, but everyone thinks they got a plan til the time actually comes. Spies are effective, plants are effective. Incels forget about their celibacy as soon as the pretty girl shows interest

Kinda reminds me of the anime Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei where they come up with a plan to where only otaku can have access to the classified data because they are so in love with anime girls that no one can seduce them.
Keeping in with the previous point, this is just a funny skit and nothing more lol, friend of mine used to go to geek gathering spots fishing out lonely guys to chat them up and then ghost them afterwards, sharing her experiences with us the day after.

Mean spirited, yeah... But it was hilarious, absolutely every single one of these guys spilled their guts out about everything, and all it took was an attractive, but not *too* attractive girl to say hi to them
 
we are living in a world where most people are hyper-resistant to change. this is how things were when they were growing up, so that's how they should be forever.
To be fair to them, they've been in a remarkably prosperous and stable country, but there are cracks starting to show.
I don't disagree. It's really weird because I said the same shit I'm saying now when Biden was in charge and got asspats and updoots, and now that I'm bitching about the same shit, since there's a Republican in office I'm a commie fed.
Thanks for coming in and arguing with us Trumpniggers; you're one of the most reasonable and good faith posters to do so. It was also a pleasure talking about eggs with you. I bet a lot of the time you feel like you are banging your head against that cardboard box you're in.
 
Your argument only works if Gold Cards are the only way to make up the difference. The reality is that you want to create multiple streams of revenue. This is how you take much of the burden off the tax payer.
That's ridiculous. It's not like Trump has talked about anything else. Maybe if we made other countries pay to export goods to us? Like a tax on incoming freight? What could we call something like that?
 
Tulsi's talking about the fed sex chat. She says all of them will be fired and their security will be revoked.

SEX PESTS BTFO

Can't. That's discrimination against the Holy Alphabet Flag Bearers. A bigotry. You aren't allowed to do a bigotry.

Remember the only way you can not do a bigotry is to let them do anything they ever want to do forever.

I need a new rating: hyper late. An alarm clock emoji that hops out of your screen and smacks you then tells you to pick up a history book. You're so alarm clock on this that the internet didn't exist when the info came out. We've been off the gold standard for as long as that gold has been valued at $42, the gold in fort knox is not only a drop in the bucket compared to any number of things on our federal budget, it's wholly irrelevant to the "value" of our fiat currency, let alone "fiscal backing". Are you just now learning that the USD, and all modern currencies, are basically worth what they say they're worth on the basis of "trust me bro"? Because pretty much anyone who went through a libertarian phase, hell even some democrats, know that our money is like, imaginary, man!


Yeah, that's nothing new though. Not even worth bringing up at this point that illegal stuff is being and has been done in support of current year issues.
