American Politics

... Then of course, there was the dollar, the basis for American power. Putin cannot believe that the dollar, the cornerstone of American power, is being tossed away. He said Russia has gone from doing 50% of its transactions in dollars to 13%. For those of us who understand economics, we want there always to be a high demand for the dollar. Putin is asking why are you messing with that demand. ...

(...kkkk!) Oh please, spare me your backwater economics!

Ahh, last I checked, ELVIS 2008, you still hadn't simply "stuck your head out the window", and taken a good hard look, at how strong and resilient, President Joe Biden's economy has been, like I metaphorically (and somewhat perhaps literally in your case) said you should.

But instead it would seem, you still have your head up your ass. No doubt still pining, hoping and praying for a RECESSION/DEPRESSION, just like your feckless "Loud and Save-ur-Dumbass".

So forgive me if I take issue with ANY Trumpian DUMBASS BULLSHIT economics, you maybe shoveling, today, or any other day!

"For those of us who understand economics"...indeed! (...kkkk!)

Good question. I guess, MSM are so used to his insanity over the years that they don't even notice. In other words, it's not the news anymore.

From the moment Trump descended that escalator, fact checking and correcting his 30,000++ publicly stated lies has been like trying to catch confetti.

Same with the incidence of his slurred speech, garbled grammar, incoherent blather, invented words, etc.

I suppose it is always possible that when he lies about, say, having won Pennsylvania in the general elections, beaten Barack Obama, created "the best economy ever", "kept the country safe", "no wars on my watch" and so on that he is not lying so much as he really forgot what happened in just the past 4-5 years due to his severe cognitive impairment.

LOL. On a related note, it's hard to top Nikki Haley Nikki Haley Nikki Haley Nikki Haley or is it Nancy Pelosi demanding cognitive tests for presidential candidates and in the very next breath misstating the date of The 9/11 Attack! Lolol.

Haley Misstates 9/11 Attack Date After Calling For Cognitive Tests.

https://crooksandliars.com/2024/02/h...ack-date-after

"The last thing we ever want to do is side with Russia," she said during a defense of NATO. "What we always need to remember is America needs to have friends."

"After September 10th, we needed a lot of friends," Haley added. "We can never get to the point where we don't need friends."

First question on the test for Nikki Haley Nikki Haley Nikki Haley Nikki Haley or is it Nancy;.

Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?

Surely, Fux News and every Mainstream Media outlet will devote an hour of prime time to Nikki Nancy getting the date of The 9/11 Attack wrong. LOL.

Right-wing Republicans, just like their lord and savior, love sucking Putin's dick. Nothing else would explain why they hate Ukraine so much.

That's the main reason why the wingers-hijacked House won't give money to Ukraine.

The end.

Other part that was crazy with Putin interview is Putin confirmed something everyone who follows the Ukraine War knew: Ukraine and Russia had a peace deal and Boris Johnson destroyed it. My guess is he did so after being told to by Biden, but that is not fact.

So Putin does the interview, confirms this already known fact, but now that this fact is much more widely known, and Bojo fucking loses it. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitic...ine-peace-deal.

In his video, this asshole Bojo does not even deny it.

Xpartan, you try to make this a red-blue conservative-liberal issue but it is not. It is neocon, pro military industrial complex people versus everyone else. Nikki Haley would be the same type of war monger Biden is.

If a few million Ukrainians and Russians have to die so the defense contractors can make their billions, you are like, so be it.

Thing is after Russiagate, who should Republicans trust? We know the intelligence agencies and you Democratic douches lied your asses off about Russiagate and now it is more of the same. If we do not save Ukraine, all of Europe is going to fall right?

\

[Xpartan]

BTW, how many Mainstream Media outlets rushed to devote an hour to the fact that Trump referred to it being Saturday in that Festival of Lies when it was actually Friday?

LOL. Of course, it is possible that MSM merely assumed that was another of his lies for whatever inexplicable reason and, as is their latest aid to getting him back in the White House, choose to protect him by declining to cover his thousands upon thousands of lies in their outlets anymore.

Elvis doesn't disappoint
Here we are again. All over the place as always with your pointless ramblings, deflecting from a very simple fact.

Right-wing Republicans, just like their lord and savior, love sucking Putin's dick. Nothing else would explain why they hate Ukraine so much.

That's the main reason why the wingers-hijacked House won't give money to Ukraine.

The second reason is also quite simple: When their lord and savior tells them to jump, they jump as high as they can and never ask any questions.

The third reason: It's in their DNA to sabotage Dems, the less sense it makes -- the better.

The end.

I would only add that they do ask one question when their confused and blithering America-hating lord and savior tells them to jump; they ask "How high"? And they ask it on the way UP.

The latest blithering and lying from their lord and savior:

A list of lies Trump told tonight.
in addition to slurring his words, confusing what time and day it is, and pledging to repeal every gun safety law.

Oh, I see. If Ukraine wins, it is because of Democrats. If it loses, it is due to Republicans. This is what I mean about being a Democratic douche.

So the interview had not even happened, but the NY Times called it "friendly". This is the paper that likes to call itself the paper of record literally being douche like and commenting on something that had not even happened as fact.

And if you are a Democratic douche, you do not need to see this interview. You do not need to listen to Putin. We will tell you what to think about Putin. You are a MAGA POS loser if you actually listen to Putin and make up your own mind about what he said. You can ignore the whole thing because it is "friendly". It is propaganda. We the NYT will tell you what to think.

Of course, I watched the interview. Tucker brought up Nordstream and who Putin thought blew it up. He did not say. He said look at who is capable and who said they would. Of course, he meant the USA. He then said of Germany that it is paying through the nose for LNG versus getting gas from Russia. The economic sanctions that were supposed to be so effective have hurt Germany more than Russia and Russia has overtaken Germany as Europe's largest economy. https://www.intellinews.com/russia-o...-basis-286944/#text=Looking%20 at%20 GDP%20 in%20 PPP, in%20 Europe%2 see%20 worth%20%245.3%20 trillion.

He said Russia has gone from doing 50% of its transactions in dollars to 13%. For those of us who understand economics, we want there always to be a high demand for the dollar. Putin is asking why are you messing with that demand.

What I see is Americans losing. I see Germans losing. I see Russians losing. I see Ukrainians losing. The only winners I see are neocons and the American military industrial complex. They have won and are winning. And they are trying to convince everyone that victory over Russia, whatever that means, is worth the price, any price, so they can keep on winning.

They are trying to turn us into a 3rd world shithole, just look at the southern border.

[EihTooms]

"Biden was justifiably angry. He was referring to a border issue. He got the leader's name right but obviously had the border with Mexico on his mind as well, likely from having just engaged in a few hours working on convincing Open Borders Repubs to finally fund the border protections they have been squealing like stuck pigs about for years.

A one word misspeak like the one Biden made happens with professional media hosts reading a teleprompter every 30 minutes.

Now, if Biden had said, "Mexico Mexico Mexico Mexico" without even noticing he got it wrong, I would worry about his mental capacity.

If Biden had said, "I talked to the Covfefe of Mexico Mexico Mexico Mexico", then I would say he is ready for the loony bin today.

The longtime hardcore Trumpster Repub Special Prosecutor did not indict Joe Biden because Joe Biden did not ignore a subpoena to give back the relatively few classified documents his staff packed, did not defiantly and criminally announce, "They are MINE! They belong to ME"! He did not then try to hide them. He did not then suggest anyone else hide them. Joe Biden, unlike Trump, is too lucid, too aware, too cognitively competent to do something that ridiculously stupid in the first place or as spectacularly stupid as to think he could get away with it in the second place.

It's pretty simple really.

Re your link; Who the hell would listen to Kudlow regarding anything related to the economy, much less anyone affiliated with Breitbart appearing on Kudlow supposedly knowledgeable about the economy? Lolol.

If only they could have found Trump wandering aimlessly around the nearest KFC kitchen and led him by the hand to the studio, that would have represented a Historic Summit Meeting of Economic Ignoramuses.

President Drink Bleach says what? Trump now claims he beat George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Trump was already dumb, but he's getting worse yet MAGA doesn't care. The press should cover his decline anyway.

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

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/08/o...s-ukraine.html".

MAGA Republicans' hatred and contempt for Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian cause is shockingly vehement. Candace Owens says she wants to "punch" Zelensky. Donald Trump Jr. Calls him an "international welfare queen. " Carlson says he dresses "like the manager of a strip club. " It's all bizarre and unreasonable. And it all fits the broader MAGA narrative.

Let's break it down, step by step. First, if you're stumped by the notion that Ukraine is a villain, you may need reminding of a conspiracy theory that is now largely forgotten but was prevalent on the right at the time of Donald Trump's first impeachment. In his infamous conversation with Zelensky — the one that triggered the impeachment — Trump asked Zelensky about a "CrowdStrike" server allegedly being held in Ukraine.

This is a reference to a longstanding MAGA claim that it was Ukraine and not Russia that interfered with the 2016 election. There's no evidence of any kind to support the allegation, and Trump's own advisers repeatedly debunked it. But my Times colleague Scott Shane described how the theory gained purchase on the right nonetheless. "On 4 chan and pro-Trump spaces on Reddit, on websites like ZeroHedge.com and Washington's Blog," he wrote in 2019, "you can find plenty of speculation about evil manipulation by CrowdStrike and secret maneuvers by Ukrainians — often inflamed by Mr. Trump's own statements. ".

Combine that claim with the fact that Hunter Biden had a lucrative business relationship with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and MAGA found itself with the perfect villain to counter the Trump-Russia narrative. Trump wasn't in bed with a hostile power in Russia; the Democrats were in bed with a hostile power in Ukraine.

But it goes further still. To MAGA, Putin isn't just innocent; he's admirable. Heroic, even, in some ways. He isn't defined as an authoritarian dictator at the helm of one of America's chief geopolitical rivals. No, he's defined as an anti-woke leader who defends Christian civilization by taking on the decadent West.

In a 2017 speech at Hillsdale College, the Claremont Institute's Christopher Caldwell declared that if "we were to use traditional measures for understanding leaders, which involve the defense of borders and national flourishing, Putin would count as the pre-eminent statesman of our time. " In Caldwell's words, Putin "is not the president of a feminist NGO. He is not a transgender-rights activist. He is not an ombudsman appointed by the United Nations to make and deliver slide shows about green energy. ".

In 2021, The American Conservative's Rod Dreher praised a Putin speech condemning the West and said that Putin and Hungary's Viktor Orban were "completely clear and completely correct on the society-destroying nature of wokeness and postliberal leftism. " (It should be noted that Dreher has nonetheless unequivocally condemned Putin's invasion.) A 2022 exchange between Steve Bannon and Erik Prince, the founder of private military contractor Blackwater, was even more illustrative. Bannon hosted Prince on his podcast shortly after Putin's invasion and proclaimed Putin "anti-woke. " Prince replied supportively that the people of Russia "still know which bathroom to use. " And Bannon kept the thought alive, asking, "How many genders are there in Russia?

Jordan Peterson, meanwhile, went so far as to imply that Russia's aggressive attack may have been merely self-defense against the threat of Western cultural decadence. The culture war, he mused, may be "serious enough to increase the probability that Russia, say, will be motivated to invade and potentially incapacitate Ukraine merely to keep the pathological West out of that country, which is a key part of the historically Russian sphere of influence. ".

There is an old saying: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Ideally, the phrase means that Americans set aside their domestic differences to address foreign threats to the nation. But in this hyperpolarized era, the far right gets this equation precisely backward. They are aiding Vladimir Putin because they see him, too, as opposed to their domestic enemies.

Before the war, MAGA's combination of hostility toward Ukraine and admiration of Putin created a very particular narrative: Rugged, manly, traditional Russia was physically and spiritually stronger than the liberalizing West, and it would roll over Ukraine with only token resistance. Indeed, before the war, Ted Cruz shared a tweet in which he contrasted Russian and American military ads. The USA Ad, he claimed, showed our military to be "woke" and "emasculated. " But the Russian ad reeked of masculine aggression. How could the West — let alone tiny Ukraine — stand against such manly men?

[Elvis 2008]

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

Oh, I see. If Ukraine wins, it is because of Democrats. If it loses, it is due to Republicans. This is what I mean about being a Democratic douche.

So the interview had not even happened, but the NY Times called it "friendly". This is the paper that likes to call itself the paper of record literally being douche like and commenting on something that had not even happened as fact.

And Russia was supposed to be hurting so.

Then of course, there was the dollar, the basis for American power. Putin cannot believe that the dollar, the cornerstone of American power, is being tossed away. He said Russia has gone from doing 50% of its transactions in dollars to 13%. For those of us who understand economics, we want there always to be a high demand for the dollar.

"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?
