American Politics

Attaboy Trump!

Showing his true colors and disdain for the presidential office, for America, and the American people, with his buffoonery and wild rhetoric that "America SUCKS!" and "America is a JOKE!", slurred campaign speech.

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

Trump's New Campaign Slogan..."America SUCKS!"
Attaboy Trump!

Showing his true colors and disdain for the presidential office, for America, and the American people, with his buffoonery and wild rhetoric that "America SUCKS!" and "America is a JOKE!", slurred campaign speech.

Good luck with that hate campaign and hate sloganism!


PS: Unless of course it's a dog whistle to "inspire" his supporters to get out of America?

Mainstream Media would like us to falsely remember Reagan's 1984 "It's Morning Again in America" re-election Campaign pitch as a sales job to help us think wonderful things about America.

Nope.

It was only another Classic Know Nothing / Do Nothing Repub Deadbeat attempt to take credit for the reduction in Inflation and interest rates, a result for which Dem Jimmy Carter shouldered all the heavy lifting and assumed all the political risk back in late 1979, took hold as a trend by mid 1980, continued well into Reagan's first years in office and for which Ronnie Reagan had absolutely nothing to do with unless wearing cowboy hats and riding ponies at his California ranch had something to do with reducing Inflation:

At the same time, Mainstream Media would like us to forget Reagan's clear and unambiguous War Whoop against Evil American Democracy that so charmed and endeared America's domestic enemies and has inspired them to join and support Repub Icon Reagan's Repub Party ever since to attack and denigrate America as THEIR enemy too right up to this very day, choosing another Classic Repub lord and savior to lead the way.

Ronald Reagan, in his 1981 Inaugural. Address:

https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/archiv...l-address-1981

"...government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem."

Bear in mind, Reagan was not referring to some foreign dictatorship or monarchy. No, he was referring specifically to this government of, by and for the people, the United States of America, a constitutional federal republuc form of government that was established by our Founding Fathers precisely to solve problems for a freedom-loving complex society.

Yep, Great Repub Recession, Ten Consecutive Months of Whopping 10%+ Unemployment Rate in his 2nd and 3rd Year, Trade Arms For Hostages Felon Teflon Ronnie could just as well have highlighted his first Inagural Address with, "America Sucks"!.

Fox News guest decrying migrant crime previously arrested after getting violent over a grilled cheese sandwich he deemed too cheesy. 3/1/2024

https://www.mediamatters.org/jesse-w...g-violent-over

Now, you just KNOW that numbskull Winger is a Charter Member of Elvis and MDS1's Women-Haters Club! LOL.

Was there ever a doubt? (...kkkk!)

Yep. More Repub-Winger phony outrage planted in the otherwise empty skulls of their base since it is impossible for Repubs to point to one now revered positive legislative result or benefit to the American People that they ever proposed, fought for and passed when they occupied the White House and had the Majority in the House and the Senate.

Not one. ...

Not one, indeed!

However, the Incels/"He-Man Women Haters" Club, I see are back in the news AGAIN! The Dude (aka.James DePaola) with the violence over a "too cheesy sandwich", may yet be the strongest candidate for the "Incels/He-Man Women Haters" of the year award? But consider this dude?

Co-founder of Students for Trump charged with assaulting a woman with a firearm
https://www.npr.org/2023/11/29/12157...-trump-assault

The Ryan Fournier, "Students for Trump" acolyte, caught pistol whipping his girlfriend. Yet another gullible cult "leader/founder" of another "Trump dystopian" group, found to be charged with a violent act, against women. Definitely "cheesy", but I'll let you decide which of the two stories is cheesier (...kkkk!)

Charges Dropped:
"According to the court docket in North Carolina and a spokesperson for Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier: charges against him for allegedly assaulting his ex-gf, including hitting her on head with pistol, have been voluntarily dropped." (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink..."I'll more than pistol whip ya, if you DON'T drop the charges").

It was unclear why the charges had been dropped. Fournier, now leads a group called Radical Alert, which claims to expose how radicals have "taken over American college campuses."

Okay charges were dropped by ex-gf, but you just gotta love the pivot and the rebranding to "Radical Alert"! (...kkkk!)

Classic MAGA Repubs or just Classic "cheesy" Repubs?

[Spidy]

No need to contrast the difference between Do Nothing, Open Borders-Loving Trump vs Real POTUS Joe Biden who has actually agreed to sign the bill full of conditions Repubs claimed to want but flip-flopped and rejected at Trump's behest.

The idiotic baby-talk and lies coming out of Trump's pie-hole vs Biden's perfectly lucid, adult, presidential demeanor and genuine invitation (again) to Repubs in Congress to get off their Do Nothing, Deadbeat Butts and give him the legislation to solve the problem since Executive Orders are only temporary at best and any of his on this issue are sure to be held up by Repub legislators and judges, should tell you everything you need to know about which candidate is capable of actually solving it.

And if that isn't enough, please note that Trump and his fellow Repubs have been lying about the "Migrant Crime Wave" inside and outside of the border towns and sanctuary cites from the beginning, all through the middle and right up until now.

From 2017:

No Evidence Sanctuary Cities Breed Crime

https://www.factcheck.org/2017/02/no...s-breed-crime/

From today:

Trump's claims of a migrant crime wave are not supported by national data.
An NBC News review of available 2024 crime data shows overall crime levels dropping in cities that have received the most migrants.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...ata-rcna140896

Oh, and here is a "Thanks, Joe" bonus report:

Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They're wrong.
Almost 80 percent of Americans, and 92 percent of Republicans, think crime has gone up. It actually fell in 2023. An expert blames a familiar culprit for the mistaken impression.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...own-rcna129585

Yes, Americans are mistaken! To further illustrate your point.

And the hypocrisy continues and "foot-in-mouth" disease is rampant with Repubs
https://www.salon.com/2023/07/26/fac...s-in-world-ii/

Since Sen. Tuberville (R-AL), being one of the most feckless Repub Senators, wanted to attack President Joe Biden, for a recent trip to NY and tweeted this:

• Tweets: "Hope Joe Biden enjoyed going out for ice cream in NYC while the rest of the city is afraid of crime and migrants." Feb 27th, 2024.

And because Sen.Tommy Tuberville, doesn't known his head from his ass, before opening his mouth, he tried to use an old fav. from the Repub playbook, that being blue states are all just "crime ridden" places and have the "worst crime", while of course ignoring the fact that the state he hails from, Alabama is 3x worse per capita than NY.

Since Sen. Tuberville, doesn't known his head from his ass, naturally he was fact checked on his tweet. As it turns out, while of course ignoring the fact that the state he hails from is 3x worse per capita than NY:

• Fact Check on NY v AL on crime:
  -NY state is homicide rate is 4.8 per 100,000
  -Alabama state "coach" Tuberville, represents, has a homicide rate of 15.9, the third highest in the nation.
  -Florida state where "coach" Tuberviile actually resides/lives also has a significantly higher homicide rate (7.4) than NY.

Reporter Gives Tuberville A Brutal Fact Check About How Horrible His State Of Alabama Is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D49im5nOmXc

Repubs are just simply blind to their own continuous hypocrisy and the harm they do spreading such lies. It is just astounding!

[EihTooms]

Bear in mind, there is no counterpart to this behavior, slurred speech, incoherence, repeated confusion over names of election opponents, the embarrassing baby-talk and whining, the gobbledygook blithering, the astonishing level and number of lies, etc with Joe Biden. Ever.

Nor is there a shred of evidence to suggest there will be for the next decade or more.

Trump Dementia: 'You Know Argentina, Great Guy. He Loves Trump.'
Morning Joe runs a supercut of Trump speech clips, and it's painful to watch.

https://crooksandliars.com/2024/03/t...rgentina-great

Then the following happened, in Classic Know Nothing and Do Nothing Repub fashion. Or is it simply Trump's serious dementia, or both?

Trump takes credit for legislation signed by Obama.

https://youtu.be/n2WpSxJCoEQ?si=qt8QyL6TUSrNLWOk

Yeah, that is the exact same President Obama that Trump has spent months reminding us he beat in 2020 and is running against today.

Nikki Haley Nikki Haley Nikki Haley Nikki Haley or is it Nancy might be intrinsically incapable of figuring out a side on any issue to settle on.

But as a loyal Classic Repub Trump-lover and Trump-supporter, she is doing a fantastic job of protecting their Party's lord and savior by keeping the Trump nomination process going and going and going so as not to put a final nail in it and force a Repub Nominee Trump to deal with serious questions on any issue of importance or, God forbid, have to go one on one against Joe Biden in a debate where it is certain Trump will not be able to understand a meaningful question from an unbiased moderator any more than he ever did or ever could understand the issues raised to his face by any other world leader he ever met or ever would meet.

[EihTooms]

Oh, thank you. Do you have any explanation for this post?

https://mishtalk.com/politics/bidens...d-biggest-yet/

Or for this video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EODKUBzMnfw

If it is anything outside of Republicans are stupid and Democrats are great, which is what you have posted nonstop for years, you do not need to respond.

Congrats on the S&P 500 call. At least you were right about one thing.

- At this point the demonstrably Winger-leaning RCP polling Consensus has Trump and Biden in a statistical tie, Trump squeaking out approximately half a typical +/- MoE over Biden.

- It appears the polls are oversampling Hardline Trump Cult voters in the "Independent" demo. They might try to pass themselves off as such out of understandable embarrassment over admitting to anyone that they are indeed Repubs. But that doesn't mean they get to vote twice, once as a Repub and once as a fake Independent, despite Trump's instructions for them to vote twice in 2020. That is likely the answer to the "mystery" of Biden's Party, behind in the polls most of the time, also mostly creaming Repubs in actual regular and special elections in 2018,2919, 2020,2021, Red Tsunami 2022,2023 and so far in 2024.

-At this point in the presidential election year most poll respondents are not really paying much attention to the "campaigns", whatever the hell Trump is running on. For example, only about 5-15% of even Hardcore Repub Cult voters had been guessing Trump would probably be the Repub Nominee. This during the time when it was all over the news that he was beating every other Repub candidate's ass by 40% or more! How out of the loop could poll respondents be? Turns out pretty damn far.

- Mainstream Media has been giving Trump a pass on his policies and stewardship creating Trump's Pandemic ever since January-March 2020 when it was inarguably reported in Real News sources that he removed all the "Early Warning" Pandemic Prevention teams from those Chinese labs by September 2019, months before the first evidence of Covid cases emerged in those labs and while even he knew just a 2 month heads up would have been enough to avert all the trouble. Easily.

That allows for all the numbskull Repubs to blather on about how Trump's policies and stewardship were so great, produced a "great economy" (actually, through 2019 his economy would have ranked #7 among the 11 previous presidents' economies and that is if you don't factor in the TRILLIONS he added to the deficit to buy that below average economy) and come IP with idiotic questions like, "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago"? In 2020! LOL.

Uh, yeah, ill-informed.

I also think there is an American tendency to root for the underdog. But not necessarily to vote for one and invite him back to fuck up royally at every turn again. So some of those poll responses, maybe only a few percentage points for Trump, are on the order of "Atta boy. I like your spunk! 4 Felony charges and 91 counts! Chin up. Here, I'll toss you a bone. Sure, I'd vote for you over the greatest jobs creating, wage-increasing, global democracy-strengthening, economic recovery-producing, inflation-reducing, stock market and 401 K / IRA / Retirement Fund-improving President in History. LOL. Sure, sure, I really really really mean it. " LOL.

Among other things.

[Elvis 2008]

LOL. Nothing better than hearing a rabid Trumper Winger rant about how HIS Trump's Pandemic Closures were even worse for him than HIS Trump's Pandemic Covid was and how American tax dollars should be spent improving Infrastructure after 4 solid years of Classic Do Nothing Repub Trump assuring us his Infrastructure Week plans were coming "in about two weeks" when only Dem Joe Biden proposed, fought for and passed a historic Infrastructure DECADE on a bi-partisan basis!

LOL. Really. Just perfect.

BTW, have you found the section of the Thai Criminal / Penal Code that specifies that consenting adults exchanging money for sex is illegal yet? I can save you the trouble so you too can continue to be a Do Nothing Repub; there isn't one.

BTW Part 2, I hope you enjoy that historic Dem Joe Biden Infrastructure DECADE over there in the USA funded by MY taxe dollars (your beloved Trump assured us he is too "smart" to pay taxes) and facilitated entirely by MY votes for Joe Biden and the Dems.

Again, you're welcome.

"Oh, God. Here we go again. A hypocrite who is leaving the USA to get laid telling me how great our country is.

This from a guy who wanted rights tossed in the trash can with Covid. Did you forget this already Paulie?

The reason you are able to go to Colombia now is because people like me called out the government on their Covid bullshit, did our research, and did all we could to ignore them. We convinced enough people they were lying and just when the majority of Americans were seeing through the scam, the government, instead of admitting it, came up with the new crisis de jour, Ukraine. And you have fallen hook, line, and sinker for that scam too.

The USA government was a bigger threat to my freedoms with Covid than Covid was. We printed up $11 trillion for Covid. For what? Now hundreds of billions for Ukraine? For what? Meanwhile, I fly from Fort Lauderdale, a shithole of an airport, to the Bogota airport, which is beautiful. Is it too much to ask that my tax dollars go to infrastructure versus the police / deep state, MIC, and for a virus that was as potent as the flu in most people?

The USA is the best country in the world in which to make a living. For the most people, the American people are compassionate and kind unless they have government or attorneys making them go to war with each other.

You paid American women to have sex and broke the law. You going to lie about that like Tooms too? Are you going to pat yourself on the back and claim to be a law abiding citizen? OMG.

And you make it out like it is me. How many people are going to ignore all the deep state warnings and all the prosecutors and vote for him?

I have an idea. If you do not like Trump as president, why don't you leave?

Immigration is 'taking pressure off' the job market and economy, expert says.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/02/immi...ndroidappshare

-Why immigration is a net benefit for the economy .

-Immigration has helped put a lid on inflation.

No evidence immigrants are taking American jobs......
Immigrants also launch new businesses at far higher rates than the overall U.S. population, according to research published in 2020.

The study authored by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern University and the U.S. Census Bureau found immigrants in the U.S. workforce to be substantial job creators with an 80% higher entrance rate into entrepreneurship compared with native-born individuals. It examined data on more than 1 million firms founded between 2005 and 2010 that survived for at least five years.

"Overall, the findings suggest that immigrants appear to create jobs (expand labor demand) more than they take jobs (expand labor supply) in the U.S. economy, the study said.

Biden is trying to fix Trumps broken immigration system.
2/29/2024

https://thehill.com/opinion/immigrat...ration-system/

Both President Biden and former President Trump are visiting the U.S.-Mexico border today, where voters will hear dueling messages about what each believes the other one has done or failed to do. As such, it is important to debunk the gargantuan myth of how successful Trump was on the issue of border security and controlling illegal immigration.

Trump was not successful. In fact, he made the issue much worse, decimating the legal immigration system while failing to deter illegal migration.

Thanks, Joe.

Seriously. Was there anything related to the economy, jobs creation, national security, immigration, border control or his sworn duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America that Donald J. Trump did not totally fuck up to spectacularly historic disastrous results?

[EihTooms]

Right-Wing spurious claims of 'migrant crime'
Repubs can't win:

• the popular vote or win at the ballot box,
  can't win on the economy,
  can't win on the Border Security,
  can't win on abortion/IVF and women's health care/rights to autonomy over their own bodies
  AND
  can't EVEN WIN on "Hunter Biden Laptop dick-picks", (as Hunter Biden, just recently debunked and destroyed, the Repubs, behind closed doors, in an Oversight Committee investigation meeting).

So what do you do, when you can't win on the law, or with the facts, you of course, invent shit and and make shit up! In other words you try to win on bullshit!

And the latest made up "American crisis", just in time and tailor made for the Repub front runner to campaign on, according to FOXY Muse is, "migrant crimes surge" or "crime by migrants", sweeping the country.

After Rise in Murders During the Pandemic, a Sharp Decline in 2023

Fox News guest decrying migrant crime previously arrested after getting violent over a grilled cheese sandwich he deemed too cheesy.
3/1/2024

https://www.mediamatters.org/jesse-w...g-violent-over

On February 28, Fox News host Jesse Watters hosted "James Lee" on his show to discuss the murder of Laken Riley on the campus of the University of Georgia. Watters did not disclose, however, that Lee is actually James DePaola, who has had multiple run-ins with the law himself, including when he became violent over a grilled cheese sandwich his wife had made, prompting his 12-year-old daughter to call the police.

On February 28, Athens-Clarke County Mayor Kelly Girtz held a press conference. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the press conference had been interrupted multiple times by protesters, including James DePaola.

- Law-enforcement officers did not remove anybody from the room while Girtz spoke, but police asked Athens resident James Depaola several times to wait his turn to speak.

"We the people are tired of this lawlessness," Depaola told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution after the press conference ended. "We are being put last. "

Now, you just KNOW that numbskull Winger is a Charter Member of Elvis and MDS1's Women-Haters Club! LOL.

Yep. More Repub-Winger phony outrage planted in the otherwise empty skulls of their base since it is impossible for Repubs to point to one now revered positive legislative result or benefit to the American People that they ever proposed, fought for and passed when they occupied the White House and had the Majority in the House and the Senate.

Not one.

Right up there with Repub-Wingers' continuing rant that Obama-Biden's historic economic recovery from GW Bush's historic Great Repub Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction wasn't "fast enough" compared to the Dems' other previous Great Recoveries from previous Great Repub Depressions / Recessions and Massive Jobs Destruction, Obama's beige suit, Biden's historic recovery from the most recent "Once in 100 Years" Repub Disaster under Trump not managing to pull us out of that Great Repub Global Supply-Chain Collapse with zero inflation or the cost of gas going up and on and on and on.

... Looks to me like both of those entities are all about that. Does it really matter to you if that is the result of the same mindset from the beginning or as the result of their deep and intense collusion on so many issues over the decades?

You choose. How about choosing one answer for it today and then twist yourself into a pretzel about it tomorrow for another answer? Like Repubs on their made up "Border Crisis"! And their made up "Inflation Crisis"! For which they have proposed exactly zero solutions. ...

Repubs can't win:

• the popular vote or win at the ballot box,

MTG Loses Battle With SCOTUS Over $500 Mask Mandate Fines
https://www.thedailybeast.com/mtg-an...-mandate-fines

Perhaps Elvis 2008, and other ISG "COVID Warrior Warlords", will want to add this to his 'war chest' of conspiracies on COVID. Apparently, the selfishness of not wearing masks and infringing on other people's health, has consequences...$100K worth!

Yes and this is Trump's SCOTUS. How do "deep state" conspiracy theories fit into that? This is the same SCOTUS that refused to hear stolen election hogwash. They also formally rejected the "independent state legislature theory," which was used by MAGAs in an attempt to steal the election by nullifying the rights of millions of voters who voted in good faith by mail. The word "legislature" had a broader sense at the time of the writing of the Constitution, as the SCOTUS recognized. Thus special voting provisions for COVID were perfectly valid as they were put in place by govt entities with the authority to do so.
