American Politics

[Canada]

George Floyd's death was an injustice. Two medical examiners ruled it a homicide. Are you saying that the black community should shut up about this and thus get respect?

"America always wins" No deep rooted flaws in American culture. No sir! "can't we all just get along?

America doesn't always win. Obama showed that and Biden is well in his way.

Biden First 100 days:

Border crises.

Russia looking to take more of Ukrainian land like they did under Obama.

Iran rapidly increasing their nuclear capability while Biden is kissing their ass.

China taking advantage of his so called ally Biden.

BLM and Anfisa still trying to burn down federal buildings in Portland.

America was winning under Trump but America is getting destroyed by Biden.

Just the facts. 😢.

I'm a busy to say the least but here's the Cliff Notes version. It's gangs and the drug trade behind the disproportionate amount of crime. And this is nothing new, and goes back to the early decades in America. At first it was largely the Irish then primarily the Italians in the 20's and 30's. There were high murder rates in certain areas just as there are now. People are born in impoverished and crowded conditions, are subjected to ethnic bigotry, get ambitious and look for ways to prosper. There's no quick fixes for these phenomenon, though the majority in the inner cities do not go the crime route. Even in the toughest areas like Detroit the unemployment rate is under 20%. Go to cities like St Louis or Baltimore, both which have individual median incomes close to the national average, and you are going to find a lot of hard working blacks, in banks, grocery stores, insurance companies, the electric authority, your Auto Zone stores, fast food and other restaurants, police, garbage collection, you name it. Then it's particularly laughable when one goes to calling cities like New York, Chicago, or LA, places with long rich histories and cultural activities galore "shit holes. " I can only conclude that they've spent little time outside their trailer parks, or have never cracked open a book.

Then the white community has it's own sets of problems. This would include their disproportionate involvement in white collar crime, the prescription opioid crisis, mass murders including school shootings, drug overdose deaths generally, and suicides. And of course there's the hatred based on myths and other lies found inside the heads or shit holes of violent white supremacists, who according to the DHS represent our greatest violent domestic terrorist threat. These are significant problems indeed that need to be addressed.

And what cereal box did you read that bullshit?

Here are a few links. Unfortunately, you won't believe them because (1) they aren't from Faux "News", OANN, InfoWars or any other rightwingnut source; and / or (2) Donnie the Dumba $$ didn't say it.

The most damning is the 3rd article.

But I don't expect you to read the links or understand them. All you'll do is say that they're "fake news" or "socialist websites" or some other equally ignorant remark.

There are more people here "illegally" from visa overstays than from crossing the southern border. Why not fix that problem first? Maybe because lots of visa overstays are white?

Five new female Supreme Court Justices could help cure the historic imbalance.

[PVMonger]

No, letting in hundreds of thousands a month (thus encouraging millions more) and paying millions of dollars for hotel rooms is not a better plan than building a big, beautiful wall so they can't get illegally in the first place.

They can file "asylum" claims in Mexico, which will be processed while they wait. Most of the claims are false but the difference is that once they are in the USA they disappear and never show up for court. And now Biden's handlers have hamstrung ICE and blocked deportations, there is no way to get rid of them even though they broke the law to enter illegally and under false pretenses.

shithole

Let me tell ya where the shithole is, it's between your ears, shithole, cancer, whatever you want to call it. We just excised the same from the WH with a swift scalpel by way of the ballot. But we've witnessed you here targeting Jews and African-Americans while pitching fanciful conspiracy theories, and the latter group is what all these slights and false accusations directed at large Midwestern cities and Atlanta have been all about. That's even though the good ole boys in govt down in Atlanta said everything was on the up and up.

Not sure where Arizona fits into all this, guess all to play there is the Mexican card. But we see the hand you are playing, and the cowardice playing it on the internet. But yea it's straight out of Trump's playbook, who also has a shithole / cancer between his ears. And so much so that it wouldn't surprise me if he keels over within a few years, given the diet he eats and all the stress he puts himself under. Who knows what becomes of your shithole, but it certainly won't be anything good. It's anything but impressive, repeating the same fallacious arguments over and over in a monger forum.

[Paulie97]

Hardly. The 2020 election trended heavily republican. The GOP won a majority of state legislatures; it very nearly won back the House (and will do so in 2022); and the expected big democrat Senate gains didn't materialize either. As for the presidency, Trump had it won at midnight, before the count was stopped in democrat shithole cities, republican observers expelled, and pallets full of ballots for Biden began mysteriously appearing.

All of that, of course, was under the fraudulent democrat "mail-in" voting scam, allegedly due to covid. By next time, the covid excuse will be gone so they will have to return to in-person voting which is much harder for them to rig.

Crying and repeating failed arguments over and over in a monger forum plus $1 will get you a cup of coffee at 7-Eleven. I'll quote Judge Bibas again, PA 3rd District US Court of Appeals, "Calling an election unfair doesn't make it so." Naturally Trump was ahead at midnight as it was the rule in many states that mail in ballots were to be counted last. Duh. This was expected. We know you and Trump wanted to stop the count at midnight and disenfranchise millions of voters, but the answer to that and all other ridiculous requests and legal claims all the way up the chain was a loud no. You lost.

I'm not going in circles with you, but maybe some of these other horndogs will. America has installed a new president, perfectly legal, fair and square, and all your cries have come to naught. The good news is there's another election coming for 2024, and if you are an American you get one vote. Suerte.

It just demonstrates that wingnuts are going to cry regardless, as they did throughout the Clinton years in spite of a booming economy and balanced budget. And in the absence of anything else to cry about they'll cry about a BJ.

Honest question. The last 30 years have seen Republican presidents consistently screw up and Democrats clean up their mess. Clinton after Bush Sr, Obama after Bush Jr. Trump -- it can be argued -- shouldn't be held FULLY responsible for the colossal economic losses due to the worldwide health crisis, but then again, his tenure was fortunately cut short. But who was the last Republican President besides Reagan since the WW2 who left a booming economy to his successor.

Here is one opinion. No one.

How do you pay your federal income tax? Is a photo ID required to do so?

I suspect you will answer BY mail to the first question and no to the second. Have you ever complained about "massive tax fraud"? Is paying your taxes a "fraudulent democrat scam"?

[PVMonger]

Yet another myth. Republicans like to promote, that red low-tax states are subsidizing blue high-tax states because of the deduction for state and local taxes.

In reality it's the other way around. Red states are heavily subsidized by federal tax money taken from Blue states.

Very true. But Canada will say that the AP is a fake news site. That's why it is EASY to be a modern day ReThugliCANT: unless something is reported on Faux "News", OANN or one of the other right-wing rags (or if Donnie the Dumba $$ says it), it is all "Fake news". ROFLMAO.

We've been super lucky for the last forty years, but, really, what's going to replace it? Bitcoin? EUR? RMB? RUB? I don't see it in the near long term.

Get used to it. After the Trump fiasco you guys are liable to be out of power for a long time, and of course have only yourselves to blame.

A collapse could be sudden, but the ship of state has been listing for a long time, the ballast shifting. Hands over hearts won't save it when the debt comes due.

No collapse is ever going to happen.

Debt coming due? What would cause a default? The federal reserve is not going to lose its ability to print money to honor its debt.

[Chris P]

1. You complain about this but you don't provide an alternative.

Build a big, beautiful wall and keep them in Mexico while their "asylum claims" are being processed (most of which are false). That is exactly what Trump was doing, and it was succeeding, with illegal numbers way down in 2020. Unfortunately, as in other areas, Trump's great work has been quickly ruined by Biden's handlers.
