American Politics

Agreed.

Yes, revisionist history, lies, innuendo, obfuscation, fake impeachments, falsehoods, false equivalencies, projection, fake "photoshopped" Hunter Biden texts messages by Bryon Donald (R-FL), Taylor Swift boogeyman/women, purple dinosaurs/Teletubbie culture wars and QAnon conspiracies is all they have left, in that proverbial "political fuel tank"..

Take the one of the latest Trump fueled, fake-ass and staged stunts he pulled, when trying to rival President Joe Biden's success and solidarity win, with the UAW labour strikes. Note, this was the very 1st time a sitting US President had ever jointed the picket-line of striking auto workers, which had a whooping support of 75% of Americans.

So naturally and not wanting to be outdone, but true to form, as he's done in the past, fraudster Trump pays for "kabuki theater" style auto union rally.

New campaign finance filings, show Trump paid $20,000 to the nonunion auto parts plant (MI) Sept 27, 2023, he used to stage the event and had NON-UNION WORKERS and ACTORS, to hold up signs to pretending to be union workers. Many of the fake signs said "union members for Trump" and "auto workers for Trump" and all of the people interviewed, holding the signs, turned out to be neither.

Trump and Repubs, are just simply a fake, embarrassing and dangerous cult!

Trump paying actors to pretend to support him goes back to the very beginning of his Trump Brand Infomercial so-called presidential run.

Your example:

Trump paid $20,000 to rent plant for fake union auto worker event: filing.

And in the beginning:

Donald Trump reportedly paid actors $50 to cheer for him at his 2016 announcement.

Trump knew from his years as a teleprompter-reading fake successful businessman game show host that if you falsely portray yourself as popular or highly regarded among at least some people somewhere and often enough there is a good chance the most gullible, lonely, weak-minded rubes out there will eventually consider you their lord and savior.

Does anyone still have any doubts about MAGA's dick-sucking priorities?

Why MAGA Loves Russia and Hates Ukraine

As I type this newsletter, continued American aid for Ukraine is in grave doubt. Tucker Carlson is in Moscow to conduct a friendly interview with Vladimir Putin. And were receiving reports from the front lines that Russia is advancing, in part because of Ukrainian ammunition shortages. In short, the war is reaching a critical stage, and Ukraine may lose because Republicans are willing to hand authoritarian Russia a historic military victory rather than supply further aid to a democratic ally.

Ronald Reagan isnt just rolling over in his grave; he may also lurch from it in a fit of incredulous rage. This is a remarkable and potentially catastrophic reversal by a political party that is in a state of near-total, frequently random ideological transformation.

To explain the intensity of Republican resistance to Ukraine aid, I need to return to a concept I wrote about in November: that of bespoke realities. My friend Rene DiResta, the technical research manager at the Stanford Internet Observatory, coined the term, and she wrote that it refers to the bubble realities constructed by communities that operate with their own norms, media, trusted authorities and frameworks of facts.

Among those who oppose aid to Ukraine, there are certainly several paleoconservatives who object on classic isolationist grounds: Its not our fight, our support is costly, we might find ourselves inadvertently embroiled in war, and so on. But the mass Republican movement against Ukraine is rooted far less in policy than it is in a particular bespoke reality of the MAGA universe, in which Ukraine is a pernicious villain, Putin is a flawed hero and Russia should have crushed Ukraine long ago.

More Trump Revisionist History? AKA Lies? ...

But after Biden and the Dems proposed, fought for and passed the American Rescue Plan, the Chips and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, Infrastructure DECADE, along with supporting Union AND Non Union jobs, wage gains, all producing more jobs and wage gains under Bidenomic than under any Repub or two even three Repubs of the past 100 years or so ever produced in their entire so-called presidencies as well as lowering crime was in some way due to the extra consumer tax every American had to pay in tariffs Trump stupidly imposed that drove the USA Agriculture and Manufacturing industries into recession even before Trump's Pandemic Mass Murdered a million Americans and wiped out Tens on Millons of jobs?

Well, now that is very interesting considering Trump's Tariffs didn't do one good thing for the USA economy any more than his $2+Trillion deficit addition TCJA created more jobs with it than without it or his defunding and removal of the Pandemic Prevention and Response teams from those Chinese labs 5 months before the first Covid cases emerged there or his lying about it in sync with Xi's wishes all through 2020 did.

But after Biden and the Dems proposed, fought for and passed the American Rescue Plan, the Chips and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, Infrastructure DECADE, along with supporting Union AND Non Union jobs, wage gains, all producing more jobs and wage gains under Bidenomic than under any Repub or two even three Repubs of the past 100 years or so ever produced in their entire so-called presidencies as well as lowering crime was in some way due to the extra consumer tax every American had to pay in tariffs Trump stupidly imposed that drove the USA Agriculture and Manufacturing industries into recession even before Trump's Pandemic Mass Murdered a million Americans and wiped out Tens on Millons of jobs?

Oh, Tariffs can be imposed without crippling the domestic economy or reducing jobs creation if the accompanying economic legislation and stewardship is sterling, brilliant, highly effective enough to override the damage done by them. Shhh. Don't tell Larry Summers about that. It would crush him.

Biden / the Dems have been able to manage that result.

Trump / the Repubs did not. And never will. It is simply beyond a Repub's grasp to know how to do that and do it. ".

You are pro anything, anti USA.

And pro anything pro CCP.

Lets hear your "honest" (LMFAO) opinion of TPP?

If tariffs are bad for the USA why does the CCP and you (and tiny12) hate them so much.

CCP tariffs imposed on the CCP have brought down prices their which have saved the USA economy.

From the likes of Scumbag Joe and Scumbag Nancy.

Joe Manchin also helped by blocking BBB Scumbag Joe tried destroying the USA with.

I think Manchin would be a decent President he and I see things very similarly!!

The 34% number I put up as high schoolers participation rate is for entire student body, trans participation rate is 10-12%, according to some studies. But I used the 34% to demonstrate how miniscule the number is, even after inflated and doubled. The article attached demonstrates how small it really is in certain states. Example of the Article (listed below) states that in Ohio, a larger state had a total of 13 students participated since 2015. I'm going to assume that when you asserted "competing female athletes" it relates to individual like track and field, tennis, wrestling, etc. From the Ohio example, if you factor in team sports (basketball, volleyball, soccer, etc), which I thing would be more appropriate, we're looking at less than 1 person per year.

https://www.teenvogue.com/story/stat...es-some-places

Your second question, and only considering individual sports, we would have seen domination of titles in every state, which is not true, so it is possible for straight females to defeat trans females in competition. Strongest and fastest don't always win. Usain Bolt had bad days where he's human and loses.

Usain Bolt fastest 100 M is 9. 58/ Flo-Jo is 10.49. Most male Olympians go under 10 seconds. And you can say ah-ha "see? And you would be correct. But we are not talking about the Olympics but rather high schools, where we encourage the kids to go out have fun, be healthy with exercise, and hope they learn about comraderies and friendships (good sportsmanship).

This is a eye-opening article, thanks. I must concur.

Fischer, the Post reports, is the only known transgender student athlete in the state.

In Utah, one of the states where a judge has temporarily blocked a sports ban, parents lodged formal complaints after one student excelled beyond her competitors in a state-level competition last year, according to the Deseret News. The complaints resulted in an investigation into whether the student is transgender (she is not). According to the Post, Utah has 75,000 student athletes in the state. Only four of them are transgender."

Ohio is currently considering a ban on transgender students in sports, after the state House of Representatives passed a bill that would do as much in June. The initial bill would have required genital inspections on any student whose biological sex was disputed, but that measure has since been removed, according to The Hill. But the Cleveland Scene reports that of the 400,000 student athletes in Ohio, only 13 since 2015 have been transgender, and only three have competed at the high school level.

My goodness, what a bunch of morons!

I think President Joe Biden, has figured out Republicans - Just call their "SORRY-ASS" bluffs!!!

Since it's abundantly clear, Republican politicking, is really just some sort of, butchered western style of "kabuki theater" and is really all just performative. It stands to reason, the moment you ante up and practically give them everything they want, they pipe-down, shrivel-up and fold-up like a cheap tent.

If it is NOT yet clear to Repubs by now...Biden is playing CHESS to their CHECKER play.

NYT: On the Border, Republicans Set a Trap, Then Fell Into It

• "Congressional Republicans thought they had set a clever trap for Democrats that would accomplish complementary political and policy goals.
  
  Their idea was to tie approval of military assistance to Ukraine to tough border security demands that Democrats would never accept, allowing Republicans to block the money for Kyiv that many of them oppose while simultaneously enabling them to pound Democrats for refusing to halt a surge of migrants at the border. It was to be a win-win headed into Novembers elections.
  
  But Democrats tripped them up by offering substantial almost unheard-of concessions on immigration policy without insisting on much in return. Now it is Republicans who are rapidly abandoning a compromise that gave them much of what they wanted, leaving aid to Ukraine in deep jeopardy, border policy in turmoil and Congress again flailing as multiple crises at home and abroad go without attention because of a legislative stalemate."
  
  https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/06/u...aine-bill.html

Yes, at very selective times (like now), I think Dems should call Repubs bluff. Thereby essentially taking away anything the Repubs have to bemoan and "b1tch about" or campaign on....kkkk!

However, Trump TV will still lie about it in order to bamboozle the dumb Repub hillbillies who fall for his shit to continue supporting and voting for Trump and his Repub Party of Open Borders, High Crime, Economic Disasters, Massive Jobs Destruction, Repeal of Democracy and Replace it with Authoritarian Dictatorships at Home and Abroad, etc;.

Border deal sponsors went on Fox News to debunk a false claim about the bill. Fox kept spreading it.
The network continues to spread the falsehood that border deal will allow 5,000 migrants across the border every day. The bill would actually trigger a wave of new border restrictions.

Is Trump looking to reprise his dubious TV role in a reboot of Apprentice, once again? Arguably, many would say, was the ONLY job (pretending to be a CEO/Businessman), he was ever qualified in doing.

But with the recent RNC 2020, 2022 (Repub "Pink Trickle" House) and 2023 election primary losses, Trump is poised once again, to cast blame, fault and the onus of the Repub failure, on one of his fellow insurrection "loyalists" and "lackeys". Who will it be this time?

Yes, it's painfully clear that, yet another Trump "loyalist", may soon find themselves, being outed under the Apprentice catchphrase, "You're fired!".

Trump indicates it's time for RNC chair Ronna McDaniel to step down...
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...tep-rcna137383

Oh yeah! Ronna McDanial's (RNC Chair) fate, is all but sealed, as if she were a contestant on said TV show. But however and just maybe, with enough grovelling, sycophants like Ronna McDaniel, can bend the knee (no doubt), and renew her undying pledge, to the Orange Throne?

NOTE: Similar fates and dysfunctional behavior, are also being played-out across the country, as RNC Chair infighting, in several key states, have Repubs continuing to meltdown, in disarray, in this Trump "mob boss" style leadership era.

Right-wing Trump deranged nutter, decapitates his own father!

Yet another right-wing nutjob, murderer/killer and Trump cultist, named Justin Mohn, a Pennsylvania (PA) man, murders his father in a cold blooded beheading, then posts the murdered gruesome corps, online via YouTube.

Once again, the right-wing psycho was acting on the usual dumb right-wing, "Trumpian" psychotic cuckoo paranoid bullshit. And of course the call to arms for so-called "patriots". Apparently he decapitated his father, because he'd worked as federal government employee for 20 years, calling his dad a traitor, along with all government officials.

Justin Mohn charged after allegedly beheading father in Pennsylvania
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...-mohn-youtube/

Just another, in a long Line of right-wing nutjob, wacko, brainwashed murderers:

• There's the wackjob with a hammer, who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband, now up on attempted murder charges, is using the "conspiracy defense".

• Or the gunman who opened fire inside a Washington pizzeria, psychoticly motivated by the "Pizziagate" Conspiracy theories.

• Or dimwitted and gullible 18 year gunman (mostly heavily radicalized and brainwashed through right-wing online chat groups), who murdered ten in the May 2022 massacre at a grocery store in a predominantly Black, neighborhood in Buffalo, N.Y.

• Or the wackjob murderer, who killed five in Colorado Springs, Club Q shooting, largely patronized by the LGBTQ community

All have fallen down one or another "right-wing conspiracy rabbit-hole", only to remerge it would seem, as radicalized thugs, gullible foot-soliders and/or murderers and killers bound for "murderer's row", "an early grave" or "phoney martyrdom".
