The world has one chance to survive.. TRUMP.

Though living down under you're fully indoctrinated. But you have another step to take, and that's to get a pair of these shoes so you can signal to all in your part of the world what you stand for. Now the gold ones are sold out for now, but if you scroll down you'll see other models. You might also want to go for a bottle of the Victory 47 cologne, a bit steep at $99 but the screw on cap is a bust of Trump so don't complain too much.

As an Aussie that is intrigued by US politics.

I only watch Fox for a start. But have seen CNN and other stations talk absolute tripe. Like they call Illegals. Who murder your innocents. Newcomers. Geeze please. And literally bag Trump for wanting to return these grubs. And wanting to MAGA.

From what I see with my own eyes and this can't be misinformation. Biden is completely fucked and could not run the raffle at my local footy club..

Clearly and inarguably, you have been shovel-fed a load of total crap from whatever it is you think is "news."

"I only watch Fox for a start."

Yep, what you have seen and absorbed is most definitely misinformation.

Biden vs Trump?

Please provide a clip of Biden to rival anything like these from Trump:

https://youtu.be/rEP3z5xStE4?si=AOHkllvxnv7heB2C

There are hours of fully covered, no tight editing, blithering incoherence like this from Trump in just the past 7 years while there is virtually none from Biden over the course of decades on the political stage.

So you really think Trump defunding and eliminating the celebrated Early Warning / Pandemic Prevention monitors from those Chinese labs by September 2019, against all expert warnings not to do something so dangerous and stupid, allowing the Chinese to keep the earliest emerging cases of Covid a secret, which was exactly what those teams were placed there to Prevent, was the decision of a mentally competent world leader simply trying to Make America Great Again?

Uh. Yeah, you need to stop watching Fux News ASAP. Watching nothing at all would keep you better informed than subjecting your eyes and ears to even 10 minutes of Fux News per week.

Here is a bonus clip for you of those "poor people who did nothing wrong" at the behest of Donald Trump while Donald Trump sat on his rump for more than 3 hours of this doing absolutely nothing to stop it despite the pleas from his staff and family members to do so:

https://youtu.be/Iludfj6Pe7w?si=9UuYNpcSVcPH4Xc2

I assume you and others supposedly from civilized countries got a big laugh out of that, too, huh?

Well due to the recent Repub "blood bath", it seems Repub Congressman, Ken Buck (R-CO), has had enough of his fellow, "do nothing", "know nothing", non-serious MAGA Repubs and is out of there, gone, exit-stage-left.

Know doubt, his dutifully and inconvenient exit, does somewhat hamstring, christo fascist House Speaker, Mike Johnson, torching his party, on his way out the door. Could this be like Moses, parting the Rea Sea, where dear ol' Ken Buck, is paving the way for his fellow Repubs, to cross the great political divide?

The only question is, how many more "normiees" and "moderates", will follow him out the door? Perhaps thereby, inevitably giving the Dems the House, so serious work, policies and legislation can be performed, in stead of this Repub clown show?

No lies needed, Repubs have succumb to their own cowardice!

Yet the Dems turn a blind eye to all his obvious short comings.(fuck I laugh when he forgets everything or walks into the bushes or just falls off his bike) they would be the Hunter Biden Laptop and the Emails from Hillary Clinton. The whole world laughs at this.

Then there is the poor people who did nothing wrong who are still in jail after supposedly storming the capital on the 6th January. All of which has been proven to be a travesty. But wait it gets better. Floyd is a hero.

The world has one chance to survive.. TRUMP.

Why would anyone want to debate you fools? It is more fun just to watch you guys lie to each other and jerk each other off.

Yes, by all means, everyone thought letting criminals steal, defunding the police, and giving drug addicts welfare money were great ideas. Lies #1 through 3. And passing new "anti-woke" laws are going to fix it? Lie #4.

San Francisco is not blue. Lie #5. It is not progressive. Lie #6. It is anti-woke. Lie #7.

Trump has nothing to do with San Francisco's mess. Lie #8. And Trump followers picked him out over the establishment picks like Jeb Bush in 2016 which means they are free thinking not mind numbed robots. Lie #9.

But the biggest lie is the one you told yourself. We Democrats are smarter than Trump followers. Yeah, we know you think that. Maybe you can do us a favor. If we are so stupid, why don't you douches quit moving into red states?

Lie #10 is Democrats claiming there were no border problems. But yeah, how could Republicans be that stupid to be opposed to a border bill when there is such an issue with the border?

Oh, so that is why. Lie #11 Spidy is you are saying this is just a "border" bill as opposed to a spending bill with tens of billions on Ukrainian and Israeli aid.

So there is nothing to debate. It is just the same old Dems good, Republicans bad over and over, and when the facts show that is not the case, you lie and insult. Questner is right. There is no discussion of ideas.

The debate about the border bill is Biden wants money to be given to Ukraine free and clear and wants to attach said aid to the USA border. Trump wants Ukrainian aid to be a loan not a gift and is not willing to cede any border authority to Biden after he rescinded Trump's executive orders.

We are so used to you douches we can predict your response. Biden is a genius, and Trump is a moron. The end. And that is why we do not need to post. We already know what you are going to say.

[MarquisdeSade1]

"First off, it is one thing to blame or credit a president with anything. Blaming Trump for the pandemic or giving Biden credit for going back to work after lockdowns ended is folly to me. You need to explain to me what said president did to affect the positive or negative change. Unlike the douches with their Republicans bad / Dems good diatribe, I can give Dems credit. Clinton raised taxes, balanced the budget, and made the economy went boom. The irony is the Clintons have gone from populism to elitists IMO and that is why HRC lost.

The latest Democrat twist is to say there is not an issue with the border.

So is the border problem Biden's fault? To that, the facts show not just yes but hell yes.

The EO also revoked the following executive actions:

Executive Order 13767, issued on January 25,2017, which directed executive agencies to secure the southern border and prevent illegal immigration into the United States, and called for immediate construction of a wall along the southern border.

Proclamation 9880, issued on May 8, 2019, which deemed immigrants who entered the United States without inspection ineligible for asylum.

Presidential Memorandum of April 29,2019, which prevented certain asylum seekers from pursuing any other form of immigration relief, required adjudication of asylum cases within 180 days of filing, imposed an application fee for asylum claims, and barred asylum seekers who entered the United States without inspection from receiving work authorization while their applications were pending.

Presidential Memorandum of April 6, 2018, which prevented DHS from releasing immigrants from detention while their immigration cases were pending.

Presidential Memorandum of April 4, 2018, which deployed the National Guard to secure the southwest border.

So yeah, Biden owns the border mess.

Seeing as how Democratic douches love attacking sources, the guy making this video is very pro-Ukraine. He has a Ukrainian wife and made videos condemning Putin. He is part of the group that is the new media because at this point, the mainstream is so bad that you know what they are going to say before they say it.

For me, the video was confirmation that the people ending up on the border seeking asylum are from all over the world and are not Mexican. It is an organized effort to skirt American law that benefits Mexican drug cartels. RFK Jr. Had a video showing the same thing.

If you ever want to know what Trump derangement syndrome is, you cannot get it any better than with the wall. Trump used tax payer dollars to buy supplies to build the wall. The Biden administration came in and literally said we are not going to use any of the materials that the Trump administration bought, and those supplies are sitting there to this day. Yes, the Biden administration is that fucking petty and that stupid. This video shows said supplies.

What has not been shown is illegal immigrants coming in wearing Biden t-shirts, but I am sure I will see one showing that.

Between this and Merrick Garland's latest speech condemning the use of voter ID laws shows the great criminal enterprise Biden is undertaking. He is literally allowing illegals to come into the USA to vote for him and paying them off with USA tax dollars. It is not even subtle.

Like you see with the Democratic douches here, they do not care if it is only Americans voting in the election. All they care about is if their side wins.

In 2020, if I were a judge, I would be skeptical of having to step in and possibly overturn an election, but the Dems have made it easy now with the complete fucking idiocy that went on in Colorado and Maine where Trump was tried to be taken off the ballot. And we have seen Dems weaponize the justice system to go after Trump and all these cases that just happen to materialize right before the election? At least in 2020 if there was massive cheating, it was hidden well enough that judges could not act. Now it is out in the open, and they are going to have to act if there are issues in the election. Well, at this point, we know there will be horrific cheating. It is just how well can it be hidden.

Quite frankly, with Biden mouthing off to the Supreme Court last night and openly bragging about and defying them with student loan forgiveness, I do not think judges will sit on the sidelines this time.

Dems were given a 9 to 0 loss the last time they tried to cheat and win an election without having it decided by voters.

So here is the video on the border that some here have suggested is not a problem:

It is very much worth watching. ".

What now?...NO DEBATE? Or follow up arguments to any questions, that were put forth to you? Now all you want to do is, discuss moi?

But wait a minute, wasn't it you that started your so called "debate", herein with your "small mind" quote from dear ol' Eleanor Roosevelt (R.I.P.)?

Why would anyone want to debate you fools? It is more fun just to watch you guys lie to each other and jerk each other off.

Look, is SF no longer a "blue" city?

San Francisco 'can no longer be called progressive city

with the "anti-woke" laws that just passed, it seems to me SF, is addressing and tackling some of it's problems

Yes, by all means, everyone thought letting criminals steal, defunding the police, and giving drug addicts welfare money were great ideas. Lies #1 through 3. And passing new "anti-woke" laws are going to fix it? Lie #4.

San Francisco is not blue. Lie #5. It is not progressive. Lie #6. It is anti-woke. Lie #7.

you know, like Trump's two fisted, hand pumping from side-to-side, jerking-off two dicks simultaneously happyand tackling some of it's problems and not running away from them, because Trump tells them "...when and how high to jump".

Trump has nothing to do with San Francisco's mess. Lie #8. And Trump followers picked him out over the establishment picks like Jeb Bush in 2016 which means they are free thinking not mind numbed robots. Lie #9.

But the biggest lie is the one you told yourself. We Democrats are smarter than Trump followers. Yeah, we know you think that. Maybe you can do us a favor. If we are so stupid, why don't you douches quit moving into red states?

Yes the border bill, the one with bipartisan support in the Senate (when I said it passed, I misspoke). The same one that had everything Repubs, wanted for US Border Security. The very same one,
Biden shamed Repubs with, in his brilliant SOTU speech. The very same one, Trump ordered the House Repubs to put the kibosh on, where it was basically DOA in the House!

Donald Trump brags about his efforts to scuttle bipartisan border deal
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...-border-biden/

Yes, that border bill, the one Trump put the kibosh on!

Lie #10 is Democrats claiming there were no border problems. But yeah, how could Republicans be that stupid to be opposed to a border bill when there is such an issue with the border?

A bipartisan group of House lawmakers is amplifying its calls for Speaker Mike Johnson to stage a vote on legislation linking foreign military aid with domestic border security, framing that combination as the only recipe for getting Ukraine assistance through a deeply divided Congress.

Oh, so that is why. Lie #11 Spidy is you are saying this is just a "border" bill as opposed to a spending bill with tens of billions on Ukrainian and Israeli aid.

So there is nothing to debate. It is just the same old Dems good, Republicans bad over and over, and when the facts show that is not the case, you lie and insult. Questner is right. There is no discussion of ideas.

Repubs, from the RNC to the GOP, from the conservative centre-right to the "normiees", "moderates" and beyond the grave (ie. Lincoln and Reagan, must rolling over in their graves), may I say R.I.P.!!!

It's a purge, it's a takeover, it a gutting, it's a slashing of heads (metaphorically), ...yep it's "MAGA Trump", hollowing out of the "GOP/RNC donut" and filling it with "MAGA/QAnon Cult spineless jelly", as more than 60+ positions at the RNC are slashed and cut, to make way for Trump loyalists.

• Check out this quote and famous last words from Moscow Mitch (June 1st, 2016):
  

  "...Donald Trump is not going to change what I think, he's not gonna change the platform of the Republican Party, the views of the Repub party...I think we're much more likely to change him" (...kkkk!)
  
  "Because if he is president, he's much more likely to have to deal within, sort of like the center of right world, which is where most of us [Repubs] are..."

Fear not you stalwart "Never Trumpers" and RVAT voters, the good news is, that the Dems may yet get the House back (and hopefully more seats in the Senate), to do what you cowardly bunch didn't do when you had the power to do it.

If the remaining Repubs in congress, are as smart (or NOT as cowardly) as they claim, they'll not let the same think happen in the 2024 US Presidential Election, nor in the Ukraine (and beyond), with Russia.

Heed this gutting of the RNC and "blood bath" as a warning, to all ye remaining "good conservative" Repubs. The writing is on the wall!!!

Question and Point of Logic: With the "RNC blood bath" now in full swing, does this mean the party once known as the "Ruby Red Party", SHOULD BE now known as the "Blood(y) Red Party?" (...kkkk!)

In the article, I have to wonder, is Tik Tok (BtyeDance), really though, a substantially much bigger threat to US national security, anymore so than Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Samsung, Google or Microsoft, is with our data? Facebook/Instagram, is still reeling from the online Child Bullying and Exploitation hearings and so far, it's just a slap on the wrist and a sorry ass apology.

Perhaps the country should be worried about a would be corrupt president, who can easily be bought, sold and bribed, and how that effects US national security, wayyyy more than some App.

Point and case, on Aug 6th, 2020, Trump signed an executive order to ban Tik Tok unilaterally, then declaring it to be "bad", "evil", "dangerous" and tried to force the company to be sold. But eventually, it was struck down by the courts. Fast forward to today (Mar 8, 2024) and queue the corrupt, grifting Trump's Tik Tok (and Bud-light) "flip-flop", 180 about turn is complete and all it took was a nice donation. Even winger Steve Bannon, looked shocked and thinks "Trump has been bought" --here:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...ht/ar-BB1jE1gh

I am not so impressed by Biden and his Dems targeting tik tok. After all, the Repub Pink Tinkle House is / was also ready to shut it down. And we all know the overriding principle of all major legislation is the worth of it, whatever it is, is diminished by every single Repub vote it garners; The most positive results for America being to pass legislation without a single Repub vote or at least without a single Repub vote required to pass it while the most negative results legislation being anything passed with only Repub votes. Always.

In that report, this was the part I cared most about:

This comes after the U.S. has been ramping up pressure on Chinese companies in recent years, particularly in the semiconductor, EV and biotech sectors.

But, definitely, Trump badly, badly, badly needs money. Turns out that claim of him being worth billions has been utter bullshit. As was his claim to have "substantially more cash on hand than $400 billion and increasing every month. " LOL. And it could be his dumb sucker Repub hillbilly donations are drying up.

Which means he is more ripe than ever for being "compromised" by anyone from any country for any reason who simply hands him a check in exchange for whatever National Security Classified documents and info he has stolen and willfully retained and hidden from the authorities requesting him to return them to their rightful owners.

And that also goes for whatever Classified info America-hating Repubs have foolishly delivered into his claws by their Repub Primary Votes this year.

Yeah, it isn't just Trump's recent hilarious Flip-Flops on Bud Light and Tik Tok within hours of those entities' sources cutting him a check for any silly amount he was begging for. Xi, Putin, Kim, the Taliban, Hamas, Iran, you name it, will all be lining up (again) to cut checks for Trump as soon as he starts getting access to Classified information.

This time Trump is so desperate I would not be surprised if he handed over every tid bit of the info he gets to anyone who can clear a check for, oh, $5,000 or so. Loser beggars like him can't afford to hold out for anything but low rent chump change. And every potential buyer out there knows it.

[Spidy]

Add this to Trump's 37+ times he went limp dick on Russia, trying not only to reverse the imposition of sanctions against Russia for invading Georgia and Crimea and its unprecedented election interference to help Trump win but to actually reward Russia for it and you can see as clear as day why Russia and "Make sure I win" China loves Trump and dreads the idea of Four More Years of Biden.

Now that his campaign received a rather large donation and/or campaign support, by one Jeff Yass (a billionaire, whose investment company owns 15% of ByteDance), Trump was singing a new and
different tune and w/r to banning Tik Tok.

Why Trump Flipped on TikTok
https://time.com/6900348/tiktok-ban-...rump-congress/

Sure ban it from ALL levels of gov't, but of the rest of the 150 million US Tik Tok users, are good entrepreneurs, that actually earn a decent living on Tik Tok. So I'm not sure this is a clear cut win for Dems. Think class action lawsuits for lost of wages/earnings and even a lost of younger voters, could spell trouble for Dems.

Yikes! Am I, in danger of siding with Trump w/r to Tik Tok (albeit for different reasons)? Someone wanna talk me down off this ledge? (...kkkk!)

Spidy, my bad for not checking the record of your posts before.

The greatest contribution to this hookers forum was your post about 'whitezilla' (wtf?

What now?...NO DEBATE? Or follow up arguments to any questions, that were put forth to you? Now all you want to do is, discuss moi?

But wait a minute, wasn't it you that started your so called "debate", herein with your "small mind" quote from dear ol' Eleanor Roosevelt (R.I.P.)?

Here, let me refresh your memory:

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

Eleanor Roosevelt.

Oh Shit! It seems your recent post, has you stepping right into your own hypocritical "small minded bullshit"! Hmmm...very messy and small minded indeed! But good luck with that!

Right now, I think this quote/idiom, (although perhaps a bit morbid), is most befitting of the moment (me thinks)!

"If you give a man enough rope, he's sure to hang himself." --Unknown [Swinger]

BTW, poor ol' dear Eleanor, she must be just literally, rolling over in her grave! (...kkkk!)

[Spidy]

That's Common. The posters that pepper off a long list of questions are the ones that desperately want to debate, but can't.

I have to say, when you're right, you're right! And you're soooo RIGHT!

It does bears repeating! That when guys come here, to flex their "debating muscle(s)" and CANNOT, it's nothing new and as you've aptly said...it's VERY COMMON!. Must have seen it a several hundred times!

But of course, there are those that then (often angrily and in frustration), naturally turn and grab the "lowest hanging fruit", that they can find and post it, as some form of "argument" or "counterpoint" to their so called idea of "debating". (NOTE: Often taking things out of context, to suit their boorish narrative)

This sophomoric attempt to flex whatever remaining shred of a so called rebuttal, they can muster, is soooo very reminiscent of the recent Repubs SOTU Rebuttal, that was widely panned,
mocked, ridiculed, SNL'd and even punk'd, clowned, (to some seen as) "creepy" and scorned as "cringeworthy" by her own fellow Republican colleagues. An historical low and one of the worst rebuttals in recent history.

In October 2022, the U.S. introduced rules aimed at blocking Chinas access to high-tech semiconductor chips and chip-manufacturing equipment amid concerns that China could use them for military purposes.

A year later, the U.S. said it was going to introduce more restrictions to close gaps that arose after 2022′s restrictions on AI chip exports went into effect.

"If it (U.S.) persistently monopolizes the high end of the value chain, and keeps China at the low end, where is fairness and competition?" Wang said.

Classic Repubs will say anything, do anything, lie, cheat and steal to make cuts to Social Security, Medicare and other now revered positive legislative accomplishments for the American people that Dems proposed, fought for and passed (but which Repubs never have) in order to shift American taxpayer dollars from funding those magnificent quality of life for everyone achievements into the pockets of their favorite political donor class wealthiest, top income margins and corporate CEOs.

Repubs always have and always will.

I would say that the President has deep personal conflict of interest with respect to Ukraine and this conflict of interest costs everyone dearly.

Uhh?

To what or to whom does any of this part of your post address?

Is it answering to past questions, I asked of you? Or someone else? Or just new business you're wanting to address?

Well, I perceive bold text and capitalization both as shouting which is rude and patronizing to a reader, as if any reader can't follow or comprehend the whole text of the article.

Therein lies the artistry of the post. Granted, a writer's stylistic queues, my not suit everyone, but do that which makes you an individual. Or NOT!

Listen, there are many things ISGers, can point to that are REALLY and truly rude, least of which is the odd word or two, that is bolded, CAPITALIZED, italicized, or underlined. for effect, when writing.

Point and case, in your recent post for instance, you didn't include my quote (or anyone else's) in your post, to whom your criticisms, explanations, or comments are directed toward. This can also be seen as rude. Not to mention very confusing to readers.

Also leaves the reader confused as to whom or to what some of the other comments, links and articles, in your post are addressing. Or perhaps just lazy posting, where it's left up to the reader to figure these things out for themselves?

Personally, I tend to focus on the actual WORDS that are being said, by the writer of the post. Consider the rest as "a poetic license" or colorful way, to draw the reader in, as writers have done before me, for eons.

That's Common. The posters that pepper off a long list of questions are the ones that desperately want to debate, but can't.

Yes, very common indeed! My fav. the post with ONLY a single link to some video/article "debate" counter argument.
