It's really ironic the Democrat party may become like the Republican party was in the 2000's.

Can I even say "Always has been?"

 

[XYZpdq]

And speaking as a Trump disliker, how many completely unnecessary, optional wars did he start? Oh, zero? None at all? I wonder how many Biden will start.

Just imagine the horrific amounts of peace Trump could wage around the world if he got another four years.

At least one. Biden's retarded list of shit he put out includes abandoning Trump's Iran strategy and going back to the Obama era antagonizing.

He also has Dick Cheney advising him on foreign policy which is fucking horrifying.

It's all been downhill since we stopped allowing God Almighty to appoint His choice of monarch.

I'm going to latch onto this to rant about the concept of "Divine Right". Specifically, in that kingship is not a right, but a duty, a responsibility. The idea that out of all the people that could have sprung from your parents' loins, that God would choose (you) to lead a nation of His people, that's not a right, that's a damned privilege. Kingship, via the Christian lens, is not a position of rulership, but of stewardship. Divine Right to Rule, on the other hand, posits that since God chose the king, therefore everything the king does is sanctioned by God, despite the Bible making it very clear that kings are not exempt from its commands. It is a tool for justifying tyranny, nothing more.

Even if you think Trump is a lout, he has a fairly respectable record regarding foreign policy, new space race (although much like JFK, what has been done thus far is prep work that won't see the light of day until 2025 and beyond), and at the eleventh hour H1B visas. Biden would be wise to continue all of these things, but they're already fucking up by starting shit with the Israelis. Kikes gonna kike, but holy shit do the Dems want to replace "Die for Israel" with "Die for Palestine"?

No. AIPAC lobbies both parties. The most we'll get is a dumb Twitter spat.

And it was the legacy of the neoliberals and neocons like Bush who led to the circumstances

I love when people pretend like Clinton never bombed the Balkans or Iraq in back the 90s.

Trump put massive sanctions on Iran and Obama signed a nuclear deal with them. You literally have those policies the wrong way round. John McCain was the one who really hated Iran, and he's dead.

I love when people pretend Clinton never bombed the Balkans or Iraq in back the 90s.

Hence why I added the neoliberals too. Clinton was more conservative than Bush, though. He was the last president to really fight the national debt.

If you look at the new crop of Dems, The Squad and associates? They would definitely do that. It's one of the big cracks in the Democratic party right now. The old money is all in for Israel-no-matter-what, the upstarts are dyed-in-the-wool antisemites.

We all know that with Biden it's a return to NASA being a "cultural approachment" and PR organization rather than actually working on human space exploration

They've already given the signal that if they take power it's an immediate return to critical race theory in every office and affirmative action wherever possible

 

[Tomboy Respecter]

So a democracy in all but name?

It sounds like you all like monarchies because they sound cooler with a hint of prestige.

Monarchies just tend to be more stable and tend to have more of a long-term goal oriented actions completed, which isn't bad. The people can still elect the member of the legislative branch and there could be an executive branch that is also elected (like a prime minister or something). I also think it's important to realize though that nations should also have a more future oriented goal system, because that generally keeps a nation great into the far future, which tends to not occur you only have elected officials that serve for short terms in office.

 

[It's HK-47]

See, you say "former", but I read "dipshits who are angry that they got voted out."

What Donald Trump is doing is perfectly in-line with the Constitution. Joe Biden has not been officiated, no states have submitted certified votes, no electors have been appointed or made a decision, and the media is not the arbiter of who is or is not allowed to take office. If anyone is acting "unconstitutional" in this regard it's Joe Biden and his campaign team, who are Hell-bent on appointing themselves the leaders of the free world while there are so many outstanding circumstances, purely because the media is willing to turn that gas light up so high that it's starting to look like a second sun.

I have to say I am seeing some of the cracks in the walls too. A shitstorm of biblical proportions is brewing.

I think Mitch was okay with Biden getting in days ago. He was going to keep the Senate, and was even in talks with Biden cabinet approvals. He was going to get rid of Trump and keep his throne....until Georgia Senate votes started coming in too Democratic to ensure that both seats were going in a runoff. That pissed him off. Added onto the fact that Fox ratings was tanking, his party was in revolt where people like class pets Miss Lindsey Graham and Little Marco were misbehaving, and the gains in the House he only dreamed about. All these factors added up to call off the establishment coup amd signal to the other RINOs to start to fight back. That's why Kemp toed the line. You think he doesn't know whats happening in his own state for DAYS?

The Republicans have lock step gone after protecting the king, probably after even attempting the coup in the first place. They are starting to fight back. Let's see what happens.

Culturally, things are changing too for the constituency. Cubans were partying in Miami yesterday for Trump and a FUCKING HURRICAINE hit it and flooded the area. The vocal Republicans are pissed. I even saw this with my folks who BLOCKED every news channel to not give them a single shekel.

Things are happening fast. What happens next is anyone's guess.

It's like watching two violent street gangs having an uneasy truce until somebody fucks somebody's bitch and now bullets must be fired.

One wonders how much money is flying off the DNC's coffers for these open letters of support from people who don't really matter anymore.

Well, judging from the WAPO...

A lot. A lot is the answer to the number of wars he is going to start.

 

[AnOminous]

This may be the dumbest thing Biden will immediately do. Fuck off with that shit. I am probably the goodest of all good goys, but my personal opinion is do not fuck with Israel.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

The truly fascinating thing that's going on right now is that while we're all here arguing about whether the litigation will be successful or not, we really haven't heard a peep out of the Biden camp about these challenges, and they're generally acting like they're already planning their full transition down to a complete reupholstering. Do you think this is more that they're supremely confident that they've got this in the bag and don't even need to waste time to rebuff these litigation challenges, or are they maintaining this cloak of deception while they're secretly panicking/setting up their legal teams?

The Biden camp has nothing to gain by acknowledging these lawsuits. They're behaving exactly like they did when Hunter Biden's laptop leaked. "Out of sight, out of mind."

If Trump successfully flips a state, then that's when I think that we're going to hear something from them. I don't think that their silence means anything in regards to the lawsuit outcomes, though. They already declared victory; I think Biden would look really weak if he were to address what's going on right now.

Plus, with the "Future Biden Admin" releasing their future plans/agenda, the media has something to work with in terms of reporting. They can focus on that instead of the lawsuits. It's all about the narrative and swaying public opinion.

Hey, does anyone here remember me explicitly predicting "The Big Betrayal" where by members in the GOP would turn against Trump en masse to convince him to concede? Welcome to Stage 2 mother fuckers!

I think you almost cut yourself on that edge.

I'm being completely serious here.
In a caste system, the only way you can move between stations, all of which serve an extremely important part in keep a nation stable, is through a rigorous ritual process that not only tests if you have the capacity to move beyond what you were born into, but also has an extremely spiritual meaning that, once again, ensures societal cohesion.

The real joke is that when you account for the fact that outside of an extremely minor portion of the population, what people are going to be able to do for the rest of their lives in order to survive within a society is governed almost entirely by their birthright, there's not even that much difference between a meritocracy and a caste system outside for one: in a meritocracy you have the illusion of choice and, maybe if you're extremely lucky, you'll find a job that not only suits you, but pays you enough money to keep you happy and makes you enjoyed just by doing it, and in a caste system, you never have that illusion of choice; you accept the hand that god deals you, and you do that job to the very best of your ability, which in the vast majority of cases, is something that everyone has no problem with. and if you have ambition, then you need to demonstrate that it's not whimsical by going through the rite of passage-literally the ritual by which someone would move beyond their station in life, hence rite of passage between castes.

The main reason we're fucked right now is because a bunch of overambitious merchants who wanted power for power's sake ousted all of the families that genuinely cared about serving their civilisation as stewards-the original role of the aristocracy-and then took their place, corrupting the system into an oligarchy, and from that point the spiral towards entropy, and towards the rule of the mob, is inevitable. In a way it shows one of the major flaws of the caste system.

You should try reading Plato some time.
