They're trying to look like civil rights protesters but instead they look like third world politicians from a banana republic.

It's the same as the Nazi label, they're resorting the the most basic "everyone agrees" labelling and optics because they can't make an argument.

"Everyone agrees" that fascism is bad, therefore they call everything bad fascism.
"Everyone agrees" that civil rights was a noble cause, therefore they call every policy a civil rights issue.

The reason it gets repetitive is because our society has become so divided, there aren't many other universal agreement points. We don't agree on good/bad economic systems, foreign policy, domestic policy, tax rates, culture, religion, even the basic idea of separation of powers. The left spent decades tearing all that down and redefining terms, now they're stuck trying to find broadly appealing terms and optics that don't go against their own activists. They're stuck in a limited vocabulary of their own making.

That's also why you see them try to appropriate pop culture garbage. "Everyone agrees" Star Wars is great, therefore the Ukraine war is like Star Wars! Right, fellow kids?

Difference now is that Putin is nowhere near as powerful as the Soviet Union and Europe is no longer worth defending

“No longer”

Imagine hearing the Monroe Doctrine when it was first announced, and then right after that a time traveler told you “hey in a little over a hundred years, Europe won’t have functional militaries, they’ll invite the fucking Turks to colonize them, and expect you to provide an army for them”

If null doesn't play that on mati I'll kill myself.

Kids these days have it bad, they have to worry about Smash players, politicians, and Smash playing politicians.

it’s so funny how they try to fight the monster they made, at this point they might just get David fetterman to run for for president in 28 if they wish to win, praying that the republican is an even more eccentric version of trump

I can't wait for the presidential debate. Vance will run laps around Fetterman.

Songifying doomer posts is a very funny form of shitposting. Hope to see more of it with the AI music stuff.

You and Trump are not always going to see eye to eye on everything.

Honestly, as long as Trump is actively working to improve the quality of life in this country, I don't really give much of a shit about anything else. Everything else is just noise and screeching as far as I'm concerned. All I want is cheap gas (which affects damn near everything else), and for us to stop playing the world police and get us out of these bullshit proxy wars with European guilt tripping and middle eastern affairs.

Fetterman will never get the nomination, he's broken ranks too many times, plus his health issues will be a political field day for his opponents.

They are a rudderless ship.

The Democratic party got what they deserved when they went all in on attaching their party's banner to the cannibalistic, self immolating moral standards of Trannys.

They were at least somewhat organized and focused when it was just welfare niggers and illegals they championed. But once they decided to absorb Tranny ideology, the exact same thing happened to the cohesiveness of the group that happens to any group who allows Trannys to gain power. They devolve into purity testing, internal fighting and apocalyptic meltdowns over invented offenses.

Whats funny is Vance would 100% treat him better as an opponent than the democrats who will run too

They fucked up by letting eggheaded academics back in after ejecting them in the early 70's.

C'mon, people, take the European War shit to the appropriate threads.

 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

and for us to stop playing the world police and get us out of these bullshit proxy wars with European guilt tripping and middle eastern affairs.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

Don't care. Not my job
But hey if you want to be beholden to a Boomers promise. Buy a plane ticket to Ukraine

I don't think you understand how retarded that logic is. I can think of a few other documents signed by old people which guarantee freedom and security. Do you just pick and choose which ones you honor based on the day of the week?

 

[SpergioLeonne]

You boys are treading on already-broken ice.

Well, dad, I’m a sucker for bait

Its literally America's job. The Budapest memorandum signed in 1991 was a joint agreement between Europe, Ukraine, Russia and the United States ensuring that Ukraine would not become a nuclear armed state in exchange for security assurances.

You retards need to actually read the memo because nowhere in it does the US promise to defend Ukraine in the document.

Why aren't the German and French soldiers rushing to the front lines? We did our arsenal of democracy thing and dumped a load of hardware in Ukraine, that is good enough for our side of the deal.

Is it true that the reps removed the previous debanking protection so they can implement something better? It sounded like a cope at first but now Tim Scott is introducing the FIRM Act to curtail banking weaponization.

It sounds good, but I want to research it more.

From the one-pager:

Financial regulators have weaponized their power to target disfavored political groups and individuals in America, hiding behind opaque veils of confidentiality and insincere proclamations of independence. We must rein in these rogue regulators.

Chairman Tim Scott’s Financial Integrity and Regulation Management (FIRM) Act curtails the political weaponization of the Federal banking agencies by eliminating the ability for regulators to use “reputational risk” as a component of the supervision of federally regulated financial institutions.

The FIRM Act will:

• Eliminate all references to reputational risk as a measure to determine the safety and soundness of regulated depository institutions.
• Eliminate the Federal banking agencies’ ability to promulgate new rules or guidance that use reputational risk to supervise or regulate depository institutions.
• Require the Federal banking agencies to report to Congress on their elimination of reputational risk as a component of the supervision of depository institutions.

This bill is narrowly tailored so that removal of this subjective factor does not affect quantitative supervisory measures (e.g. concentration risk, liquidity risk, etc.).

Good start, big if true. But IIRC one of the problems Null had was that he was being tagged for fraud, not reputational risk. RR was the excuse given to debank a bunch of conservatives back in 2016, they've evolved their excuses (when they bother to give them now). To address the fraud thing, they'd have to add prohibitions against "fraud categories", which will be harder to do because some categories are more fraudulent, like gambling sites. Whatever they use to tag conservative sites--politics, free speech, radicalism, etc--is probably fluid enough that they can keep trying to dodge specific regulation.

On a technical note, Congress already had a FIRM act in 2020, they should really try to avoid re-using names like this.

As far as 2028 democrat candidates go, Newsome is going to run but he won't get the nomination. I'm willing to bet Mark Cuban might give it a go, the dems being desperate enough to go for an "anti-Trump"

The funny thing is nobody knows how to spell his name still there's no e at the end of it
