American Politics

[Golfinho]

We see you, Anthony Blinkenstein.

Don't forget, though, that the wingers firmly believe that all of these uneducated immigrants are coming for their $300/ hour jobs.

I mean, c'Mon! If somebody is uneducated, the only job they're going to be able to obtain is a low-skill, low-wage job. But Republicans say that every Republican has a good, high-paying job. They don't see the illogicalness of it all but, then again, they don't see the illogicalness of most Republican talking points.

Democrats hope to get mass illegal immigration into to the USA because they think they will be loyal and vote democrat. Problem is if they vote democrat they will probably be a democrat. Fact is democrats are to lazy to work. These immigrants will just become democrats clinging on to government handouts and welfare. Democrats in democratic states aren't returning to work. They are waiting for more government handouts.

[Cali Guy]

No one would. Just like no one would say Kamala Harris has dementia. I think she lacks good judgement, but that is not a mental illness.

And I would take a Biden with mild senility over a fully functional KH any day.

But his poor recall of words, which is often the first signs of dementia and what Reagan had in the late stages of his presidency, is evident. And if you look at the way he walks, he has a characteristic shuffling gait. And then you have the patterns with the lucidity and anger. Not all dementia is Alzheimer's, and this is not Alzheimer's. It is actually worse.

Harris does not have dementia. She is just plain stupid. Even dumber than most of Biden cabinet. Biden picking his staff with diversity rather than qualifications gave us the dumbest and most unqualified White House in history. Inflation, wokeness and wars in Ukraine prove this. Don't bother to fact check this with fake fact checks. You are either intelligent and you see it for yourself or you are dumber than Harris.

[Cali Guy]

You are still misunderstanding his very brief adjustments for stutter trigger words with perfectly acceptable alternatives as some form of dementia. Far from it. Someone with dementia at any level could not possibly be that nimble and facile with language whether reading it or not.

Biden has never once slurred entire phrases and sentences or gotten stuck in the kind of "oranges oranges" total mental blank out and mind-muscle response retardation Trump has exhibited dozens of times in the past 5-6 years.

Obviously you are wrong again and obviously you missed his press conference again last night. He was neither nimble and stumbled though questions. He can't remember what he said the week before and when confronted gets angry and confrontational. You before you print your fabricated lies you need to actually do some research.

[Cali Guy]

You do not understand dementia. This is not a stutter problem. It is word recall and you do not understand that nor do you understand all the forms of dementia there are.

You were proven right again when Biden spoke last night. He can't even remember names of his own staff.

[PVMonger]

Yawn. And here you are calling Republicans stupid again.

Yes, we have a completely impartial DDOJ: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ct/pr/f...fire-hurricane.

Let's start with what we do know about you Dems and fairness in elections. In 2016 and 2020, Dems were convinced Bernie Sanders could not win in the general elections and screwed him in the primaries. Trump was hated by the Republican powers that be but won in 2016 and 2020 because Republican primaries were fair.

In 2016, you dummies were trying to blame Putin for Trump winning when in fact it was swamp creature and Democrat James Comey who did just what the FBI is doing right now with Ketanji Brown, feigning objectivity. The FBI took a huge hit saying Hillary broke the law and then did not take her to a grand jury. That act by Comey cost Hillary and the Dems the election because she was not as far ahead in the polls as Comey thought. So here we go again, more election manipulation.

Then you have Russiagate which was completely bogus which involved the Steele dossier paid for by Hillary. You had Carter Page, a CIA asset, being investigated as a Russian agent, lying on a FISA warrant ETC.

You had Ukrainegate where Trump asked the Ukrainians to investigate Hunter because the FBI and entire mainstream media not only punted but censored the Hunter Biden story and called his laptop "Russian disinformation". The fact that all this was bullshit means nothing to you Dems. In fact, Trump having to ask the Ukrainians to investigate showed us that we have a DDOJ..

Yep, there I go again, calling Republicans stupid. Why? Because they are.

As you you, you haven't told the truth in so long I doubt you even know what it is anymore.

Let's take the falsehoods above one-by-one, shall we?

First, that Sanders got screwed in 2016. He did not. Just as it's hard to remember what a popular, dominant political force Clinton appeared to be in 2014, it's hard to remember how much more marginal a figure Sanders was. Back then, it was Elizabeth Warren who was thought the champion of the American left, the scourge of the banks, the enemy of the billionaires. Sanders was a gadfly senator with no major legislation to his name who idiosyncratically refused to officially join the Democratic Party. Gallup didn't even include him in its polls. The 2016 Democratic primary wasn't rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn't rigged against Sanders. But Democratic elites did try to make Clinton's nomination as inevitable, as preordained, as possible. So, no, the 2016 primaries weren't rigged against Bernie.

Second, "Russiagate" as you call it. The original Fusion GPS research was oppo research against the Orange Buffoon paid for by Republican donor Paul Singer. By the spring of 2016, researchers at Fusion GPS had become so alarmed by what they had already learned about Trump that they felt the need to do what they could to keep Trump out of the White House. Yes, the Clinton campaign got ahold of the research. But most of the work was already done. And, as I've pointed out before, the Mueller Report documented dozens of spurious contacts between Russia and the Orange Fruitcake's campaign. Lots of Russians were indicted and several of Hair Furor's campaign people were as well. But your contention is that it is all a nothingburger is, well, a nothingburger.

Third, "Ukrainegate" as you call it. You idiots, and the Mango Mussolini, placed a lot of credence on Hunter Biden's place on Burisma's Board of Directors. Look up the BOD of any major US corporation. How many of the individuals have any experience whatsoever in the business of that company. Here's P&G's board. Please tell me how many of those folks have any experience in consumer packaged goods. https://us.pg.com/structure-and-gove...s-composition/ No Republican, least of all the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy had any idea what "quid pro quo" meant before that now-infamous phone call. You still don't know what it means.

Furthermore, does Hunter Biden hold a post as an adviser to the President? Like Ivanka did? Like Kushner did? Has he spoken at political events like Eric did? Like Donnie junior did?

Are Republicans too stupid to vote? Many of them are. How do I know that? Because they have already voted in people like MTG, Boebert, Gates, Hawley and others who, between them, don't have enough IQ points to decorate a domino.

If the Orange Fruitcake wins in 2024 and Dems impeach him, that would mean that Dems control the House, right, because that's where impeachments start. Haven't you been blathering on and on about how Republicans were going to run roughshod over the Dems and take back both the House and the Senate? Have you changed your tune and decided that Republicans aren't going to win the House in 2022 and 2024? Or have you just told so many falsehoods that you can't remember one from the other? Or are you simply clueless as to how US Government works? I suspect that it is all three.

You do not understand dementia. This is not a stutter problem. It is word recall and you do not understand that nor do you understand all the forms of dementia there are.

Here is the form of dementia that most concerns me in "oranges oranges", "I saw Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the collapse of the WTC on 9/11 on my television" Trump:

It was his total loss of recall of these January 2017 words from that moment forward and leading directly to his repeated attempts to commit election fraud and his incitement of a violent insurrection to overturn a free and fair election and overthrow American democracy.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

You would think the Dems and their media idiots would have some shame in this but of course, the answer is no. Here is a beaut from Matt Taibbi:

I long thought the decision by Facebook and Twitter to block the Post just before an election was a bigger deal than the actual story, which to me was mislabeled "smoking gun" evidence of major corruption because almost none of the information in those emails had been confirmed then. After reading this latest Times piece, which among other things confirms that Joe Biden (if not the Burisma official) was present at the infamous "meeting" referenced in the original Pozharsky email, I'm not sure so sure. At minimum, this looks like it will be a serious political problem for Biden in any future election, especially should events in the Ukraine war take a turn that motivates Ukrainian officials to unload on the first family.

While the bloodshed in Ukraine should and will dominate news for the foreseeable future, reporters who think it's their patriotic duty to throw dirt on the Everest of apparent horrors in the Biden laptop in the meantime are nuts. A subtext of the Hunter-Ukraine mess was always that Ukrainian officials seemed to chafe at taking orders about matters like the Shokhin business even as they feared Russian influence more, tension that's apparent in those leaked Poroshenko-Biden discussions. As evidence grows that the United States and Ukraine may be acting at cross-purposes with regard to the invasion, those tensions become crucial background..

Since the Republican Party has for decades much preferred Putin's style of "leadership" over that of America and the leader of the Republican Party, Trump, spent years touting Russia's intel on the world stage while shitting all over America's intel agencies, surely Putin knew all about the damning information in that one itty bitty laptop that would have destroyed Biden's chances of winning the 2020 election and consequently recovering America from the Great Trump / Repub Crash, Recession and Massive USA Jobs Destruction in record time.

Not to mention Biden's historic reuniting and strengthening of global democratic alliances that Putin and Trump spent years trying to weaken and dismantle.

Why didn't Putin get all that intel out there right before the 2020 election to help his favorite puppet win a second badly needed term on behalf of Russia instead of sitting on it while his most feared adversary since Hillary Clinton took over?

[EihTooms]

Actually, Hilary blamed Comey in her drunken stupor when she found out she lost. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/u...mes-comey.html.

That your recall is such that you do not remember it is not a surprise to me at all.

And here is more on the objective DDOJ: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...a-field-office.

Well, of course Comey helped Trump squeeze out a win.

You or another incarnation of you here was saying Comey braking all precedent and protocol to publicly announce a reopening of the nothing burger email investigation at the urging of Repubs in Congress days before election day was "proof" he was a "Dem hack".

And it was stated as though this was a commonly held understanding in lunatic winger media of what happened and why Repub Comey did that.

Did you miss or not understand that part?

Can you explain what kind of pretzel twisted lunacy would lead anyone to come to such an idiotic conclusion?

A subtext of the Hunter-Ukraine mess was always that Ukrainian officials seemed to chafe at taking orders about matters like the Shokhin business even as they feared Russian influence more, tension that's apparent in those leaked Poroshenko-Biden discussions. As evidence grows that the United States and Ukraine may be acting at cross-purposes with regard to the invasion, those tensions become crucial background.

Ryan Grim of the Intercept, David Sanger of the Times, and Niall Ferguson of Bloomberg all hinted at this issue in the last week. Sanger cited senior sources in saying the USA "seeks to help Ukraine lock Russia in a quagmire without inciting a broader conflict," while Ferguson quoted a senior Brit as saying the "No. 1 option" is for "the conflict to be extended and thereby bleed Putin. " Ferguson believes that strategy may explain "the lack of any diplomatic effort by the USA To secure a cease-fire," which Grim pointed out is one of two standing requests Volodymyr Zelensky has made to the USA While one war-stoked reporter after another has hounded Jen Psaki about the first, for weapons and / or a no-fly zone, Grim has been virtually alone in asking the White House about its diplomatic efforts and if Zelensky has been empowered by the United States to negotiate, say, the end of sanctions.

This is a crucial question effectively, the difference between knowing whether Russia is at war with just Ukraine, or with us and no one wants to go near it, because our newshounds suck so badly, they think anything that makes the administration uncomfortable is Russian disinformation. For anything beyond rote propaganda, most take the clownish stance offered by Amanpour above: "We're not going to do your work for you. " Trump has been out of office for years. Are we ever getting the press back?

On that last question, the answer is no.

As for Ukraine, it is as I said before. Putin attacked Ukraine because it was seen as a Democratic strong hold similar to California. Add in a completely dishonest media and laughably bad intelligence community and you have Putin the bear being poked.

The classic Democrat maneuver is to ask how much do you love Putin? Well, I do not love Putin nor this invasion. But you know what I also do not like? All you Democrats lying about Putin night and day and pretending it had no effect on him. I and a lot of Republicans think there may not have been an invasion if not for all your bullshit lies about Putin and Russia.

Back to Taibbi: The fact that none of them are bothering to comment on any of this shows that the line between the intelligence community and commercial media has blurred to the point of meaninglessness.

So we have the DDOJ and now the Democratic Department of Intelligence. And yet we have bird for brain Dems saying, "There is no swamp."

You have to be stupid to vote for Trump. And were we stupid to believe the Bidens were corrupt?

[MarquisdeSade1]

Of course I was suggesting a large increase in legal immigration into the United States.

Between three to six million people who were in the United States' workforce immediately before the Trump pandemic struck are no longer in the workforce.

Over a million people died, hundreds of thousands became disabled, many millions of baby boomers took earlier-than-planned retirement when jobs and businesses closed down (some never to reopen).

PVMonger, since you read my original post multiple times, I am going to let you in on the secret code I used when I wrote it.

Every place in the post (even the title) where you see I wrote 2023, I really meant 2022.

I wrote it in code because I did not want to create a panic among the right wingers that infest this site.

I wouldn't want them running scared into the secret closets of their homes, pulling out a handgun and blowing out their brains (I think)..

You do not understand dementia. This is not a stutter problem. It is word recall and you do not understand that nor do you understand all the forms of dementia there are.

Putin says Biden doesn't have dementia. Even though Putin is a madman, I think I'd believe him over someone like you who has proven, over and over again, that they know absolutely nothing. About anything.

[Elvis 2008]

For example Stone and Manafort weren't convicted for the crime of being close to Trump.

Oh please. Of course, they were.

[Elvis 2008]

Yawn. And here you are calling Republicans stupid again.

The fact that all this was bullshit means nothing to you Dems. In fact, Trump having to ask the Ukrainians to investigate showed us that we have a DDOJ.

The DDOJ can interfere with the elections but the Ukrainians better not. We do not want foreigners messing with our elections unless you happen to be in California where anyone with a pulse can vote.

After all this, it begs the question, should anyone who votes Republican even be allowed to vote? I think a majority of Democrats would stupidly say no they should not be allowed to vote. Why should we be allowed to vote? We are too stupid to vote.

Because you are Dems, you think 1-6 was just about the 2020 election. You completely discount all the other shit you Dems have pulled in the four years previous. You PVM brag about the bogus impeachments in one breath and then talk about how fair 2020 was not even understanding how stupid you sound for doing it? If Trump wins in 2024, you Dems will impeach him every year just for breathing.

To a Democrat, the definition of a fair election is when a Democrat wins.

[Elvis 2008]

Um, no, I didn't see most of those things you cited. Do you have links for any of them?

I mean, Comey was obviously (to you) a Dem hack for torpedoing Clinton's chances of winning in 2016 just days before election day because for the moment she was maybe 2-3 percentage points ahead of Trump in some polls during an era when Dems who win 500,000 to 3,000,000 more votes than Repubs can and will lose elections if those votes are not distributed just right among Jethro, Ellie Mae, Granny and Gomer in a couple of states

Actually, Hilary blamed Comey in her drunken stupor when she found out she lost. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/u...mes-comey.html.
