American Politics

[Paulie97]

What irreverence are you cutting-and-pasting now?

If you ever get yourself able to comprehend the meaning and original context of classical liberalism you might be able to get a grip on the basics of the current system: 'neoliberalism'. Of course that would be wishful thinking: the 'political science' you reference has been rebranded as 'political economy' decades ago, long since evidently you had a book open in front of you.

You said "Liberal Fascism," which is terminology that has been used in the past by journalists trying to do history, Jonah Goldberg and more recently Dinesh the'Souza. The aim is to connect modern political liberals in the US with Fascism. Even still if you meant neo-liberalism then you still have no case. Pay attention.

The concept of "corporatism" in the Fascism of Mussolini, who coined the term, is distincty different from the role of large corporations in the US capitialist economy. In the former competition, market entry, and innovation weren't allowed. At the top were state run syndicates, with only one allowed in each industry. There's also a number of features of Fascism that aren't prominent in the ideas of most of today's free market advocates, that PVMonger linked you to. So yea, as usual, you are just swinging and missing. Posturing will never be a substitute for substance.

P.S. If the term "political science" is now out of favor then you need to contact every university in the states who still uses it to name certain departments and award degrees. Out the window it went with "right and left" I suppose. You are hilarious. LOL.

Also amazing was that only riots yesterday were in Portland, Seattle, Denver. More peaceful protests as CNN claims just BLM and Antifa burning and looting. Demand defund police, abolish ice, burn American flags.

Big winner yesterday was China, followed by Russia, followed by illegal citizens followed by asylum seekers.

Big losers yesterday American business, all American citizens more so for the lower income. More taxes and higher energy costs. Manufacturing will start going back to China and USA will start moving their jobs overseas again. Business in USA can't compete in world market with Obama regulations.

The first reward for China payoffs for the Biden family.

The only good thing is that people that voted for Biden will suffer the most but they aren't smart enough to figure it out as their suffering will all be blamed on Trump for the next 4 years as Obama did blaming Bush. Biden is smart. He knows that everything that he screws up he can blame on Trump and the media will agree and verify it.

Another thought is that Biden is a big supporter of BLM. Shouldn't he be impeached for this. No because he will go after the White supremist's who aren't protesting and looting.

It won't affect me but it is devastating for our kids and grand kids.

Let me remind you Proud Boys that the scenes of violence and looting followed the gratuitous killing of citizens by people for whom Black Lives don't Matter.

Trump Stain.

1. Standing up for Americans and American business. Supporting black neighborhoods and universities. Lowest unemployment in history for women, backs, hispanics. Getting the vaccine less than a year when they said it would take 2-3 years. Lowering taxes for everyone. Killing the Iran deal and Paris Accord. Making USA energy self suffecient. Keeping our borders safe. Holding China accountable. Keeping USA from war.

Biden Plan: Screw USA businesses. Keep everybody poor and dependent in the government. Open our borders to all. Good or bad. Medicare and citizenship for illegals. Kill the USA energy business. Cancel free speech. Eliminate our history as we are all racists and need to be punished. Give 11,000,000 illegals citizenship so they can vote legally next time not like this year. Open borders will give democrats 20,000,000 new votes in 4 years. Doesn't matter if they take jobs away from USA citizens.

I guess not many of the guys on this site had business's and employees. Didn't have to deal with govt regulations and govt stupidity. They were teachers, professors, lawyers, government workers.

BIDEN FIRST DAY WILL BE BIGGEST STAIN ON USA FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

Trump's stain or Trump's Stalin? Or he would love to.

The Trump stain will be with the United States for a while.

Funny how the US authorities can muster up tens of thousands of troops, police officers and secret service agents to lock down DC to protect Joe Biden at the inauguration, yet when the Burn Loot Murder and anti-fa mobs went on a 6 month riot spree last summer in cities all over the US the authorities looked the other way. These Democrat sponsored mobs murdered more than 25 people, injured many hundreds (many were left with life-changing injuries), caused over USD2 billion in damages and thousands of businesses were destroyed. When will the Democrats be held to account for their treachery?

What exactly did Trump say or do to encourage people to riot? Can you show me this clear evidence including any direct quotes?

The evidence presented at his impeachment trial.

I you ever saw some news coverage about the January 6th riot to disrupt the joint session of Congress.

You would see footage of Trump speaking before the crowd "Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down and I'll be there with you. We're going to walk down we're going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong".

Of course Trump knew that his Trump Goons would be too stupid to wait there, until he joined them in marching to the Capital. It was known that the Trump Goons watching the president's speech near the White House were livestreaming TrumpShit's speech to another group of Trump Goons already at the Capital, waiting for the battle call.

Good points all-around, MDE. Thanks. It's useless to banter with the brainwashed dumbocrats. Watch how prices on everything skyrocket now on everything you fucking liberal. And crime soars. Trump did more good in office in four years than all the democrats did in history combined. Bring it you shit-for-brain liberal ding dongs.

Never, the Democrats will never take any responsibility for the violence perpetrated by their voters and supporters. Most liberals are brainwashed beyond repair by the liberal media. Just have a look on the liberals on this forum. Damaged goods.

Keeping the balance of power between labor and capital through the democratization of the workplace is essential especially with automation. Workers having a say in what is produced, what technology is used to produce it, and how it is distributed is paramount if we are ever to truly call ourselves a free society, which in essence it never has been.

Way too far out leftist concept for our so-called liberals, who are in reality neoliberal totalitarians. As has been said, the political game in America is played between the forty yard lines.

I think so. The evidence is clear that he invited and incited a riot at the capital to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

What exactly did Trump say or do to encourage people to riot? Can you show me this clear evidence including any direct quotes?

[Mdemde]

What do you think those 80 million plus Biden voters are going to think and say?

Half of these 'voters' have been dead for more than 50 years.

Lady does a great job with this Bill Withers classic, dedicated to our healthcare workers.

Gabon's opposition says it was cheated of victory, after official results showed a turnout of 99.93% in President Ali Bongo's home region, with 95% of votes in his favour. Elizabeth Blunt has witnessed many elections across Africa, as both a BBC journalist and election observer and looks at six signs of possible election rigging.

1. Too many voters. Watch the turnout figures they can be a big giveaway. . . I once reported on an election in the Niger Delta where some areas had a turnout of more than 120%. "They're very healthy people round here, and very civic-minded," a local official assured me. But a turnout of more than 100%, in an area or an individual polling station, is a major red flag and a reason to cancel the result and re-run the election.

2. A high turnout in specific areas. Why would one particular area, or one individual polling station, have a 90% turnout, while most other areas register less than 70%? Something strange is almost certainly going on, especially if the high turnout is an area which favours one particular candidate or party over another.

3. Large numbers of invalid votes. Keep an eye on the number of votes excluded as invalid. Even in countries with low literacy rates this isn't normally above 5%. High numbers of invalid votes can mean that officials are disqualifying ballots for the slightest imperfection, even when the voter's intention is perfectly clear, in an attempt to depress votes for their opponents.

4. More votes than ballot papers issued. . . If there is a discrepancy, something is wrong. And if there are more papers in the boxes than were issued by the polling staff, it is highly likely that someone has been doing some "stuffing". (Except in the USA where vote counters are seen on video kicking out the authorized vote monitors then pulling out suitcases filled with ballots for off the books counting. . .)

5. Results that don't match. It is now standard practice to allow party agents, observers and sometimes even voters to watch the counting process and take photographs of the results sheet with their phones.

(Except in the USA where vote monitors are kicked out due to "water leaks" and the windows are covered with cardboard while the 'count" continues. . .

6. Delay in announcing results. Election commissions, particularly in Africa, can appear to take an inordinately long time to publish official results. . . Giving time to "massage" the results. . ."

Reading this article somehow reminds one of the sudden change after a delay at 4 in the morning then drastic "change" in the "winner" after the results were "massaged".

Seems weird that "the most popular politician in the USA" had virtually no turnout for his rallies or inauguration and had numerous election 'glitches" - need to stop trusting my eyes and believing the "truthtellers" in the mainstream media like Dan Rather. LOL A suspicious person might believe after reading the hallmarks of election fraud that the USA had an "African" style election. . .

What are you getting at? That Trump won because his inauguration had way more people than Biden's, right?

[Goatscrot]

That 'the US Constitution doesn't touch private companies' is the means whereby your civil liberties will be taken away from you. Pay attention.

Correct, private companies can get away with abuses that democratically elected governments couldn't dream of. And I agree with you, that will be the downfall. Until we institute democratic principles within the workplace, the US will always be a plantation nation and far from free. Keeping the balance of power between labor and capital through the democratization of the workplace is essential especially with automation. Workers having a say in what is produced, what technology is used to produce it, and how it is distributed is paramount if we are ever to truly call ourselves a free society, which in essence it never has been.
