American Politics

[EihTooms]

LOL. Once again, after Joe Biden and the Dems shouldered all the heavy lifting and assumed all the political risk to completely turn around and recover America (and much of the world) from the horrific downturn result of typically disastrous Trump / Repub economic and national security policies and stewardship, in comes the Deadbeat Do Nothing Know Nothing Pink Tinkle Repubs who sat on their butts and did absolutely nothing productive or of value to America for the past 9 months, only to perform one ridiculous Repub Clown Show after another in hopes that their doing so will somehow still achieve the Repub Party dream of destroying the USA economy and weaken our national security and defence.

I'm with Trump on this. I mean, we're talking about this instead of the border, instead of crime, instead of inflation.

Maybe it's because if they dare to talk about it someone must unavoidably point out that we need as many immigrants as we can attract by any means necessary in order to help fill the now almost 10 Million more jobs than there are applicants to take them that Bidenomics has created in this historic Dem Recovery from still another Great Repub Crash and Massive Jobs Destruction.

And then someone must unavoidably point out that homicides and violent crime rates, including those in the Red States with the highest homicide and violent crime rates in the country, have been declining since Biden took office after the upward trajectory increase in both on Trump's watch.

And then someone must unavoidably point out that Trump's Pandemic's worldwide economic and supply-chain destruction inevitable recovery inflation has been in sharp and steady decline since Bidenomics was put in place to achieve that goal.

And that, contrary to what classic and iconic Repub Party Leader Trump and his beloved fellow America-haters Putin, Xi and Kim wished and worked for, democracy is far more stable and stronger in America and abroad since Biden defeated Trump.

And that even typically terrified by everything including their own shadow investors in the forward looking stock market can't help but notice Bidenomics bodes very well for America's domestic and Global Economic future.

Among other positives for America that Joe Biden and the Dems had already put into the system long before the Pink Tinkle gerrymandered and creatively redrew itself a handful of Repub districts so they could further impress typically pro Repub Mainstream Media into the astonishingly idiotic election season campaign pitch and assurance that "most people think Republicans are better at handling the economy than Democrats. " Lolololol.

Yes, an unfortunate reality for many Americans, unfairly caught in the crosshairs of a deranged wanna be dictator and the crazed QAnon/MAGA right.

But you're not even stafe in your own house, these days. As just a day ago, (2023-Oct-02) beloved community member, Josh Kruger, a (PA) journalist and (LGBTQ) activist (speaking on behalf of undeserved groups in his community) was murdered, shot 7x and gunned down inside his home, just weeks after posting on Facebook (the new address book/Rolodex for the unhinged Q/MAGA cult), that he was threatened. A manhunt is on...


Yep! Or for that matter, Mitt Romney ($5K/day for security), Ray Epps (businesses/life in tatters), Cassidy Hutchinson (exile)...etc.

I browse the American Politics forum occasionally. I always find amusing content here. Some of you actually are convinced there was a "coup", that "orange man (who is BAD!) declared himself dictator". Like, wtf are you guys smoking? Holy shit.

I digress though, I still can't fathom why some of you shill for the woke, feminist, infinity-gender crowd so hard. If they had it their way, they would send us all to the slammer for "using our financial advantage to exploit impoverished women! And you KNOW IT!

They especially despise white men. Why a straight white man (who is employed) would argue in favor of these freaks is beyond me.

They don't even TRY to hide their hatred of you, I swear some of you sound like battered wives the way you just take the constant abuse.

You're NEVER going to be "one of them"(why the fuck would you want to anyway? No matter how many times you kneel for BLM, fly the rainbow flag in your yard, express self-hatred for your crimes of being a straight white male, or any of the other virtue signally, victim-Olympics jargon.

Eternal vigilance against mentally ill Repubs is advisable. Patriotic Americans need to sleep with one eye open and arrange for their personal safety and security at all times.

But I like the grit and moxie, fmr. Chair, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair, General Mark Milley (and Cassidy Hutchinson, as of late), showed at his (2023-Sep-29) retirement ceremony speech, as he addresses the military.

This speech did a number of things, but the main objective IMHO, was to strike down the notion that, the US Army would ever stand behind or become loyal to a tyrannical figure head. Especially one that calls for the execution of its generals, like they do in 3rd world dictatorships, despotic and tyrannical regimes.

What he said bears repeating. The Honorable Gen. Mark Milley, profoundly said:

• "We are unique among the world's military..."
  "We don't take an oath to a country,"
  "We don't take an oath to a tribe,"
  "We don't take an oath to a religion,"
  "We don't take an oath to a King...Or queen..."
  "Or tyrant...Or Dictator,"
  "And we don't take an oath to a Wannabe dictator."

"Haha! COVID killed 1 million Americans, not Trump.

Read the New York judge's partial summary judgement. It's available on MSNBC's web site. The judge went out of his way to try to justify issuing the judgement given the banks made money on the loans. Trump didn't default and paid principal and interest in full. Well, at least since the 1990's.

And as to "rape", that's a "he said, she said" thing. Given the time that's lapsed and the lack of evidence, a fair judge and jury wouldn't have awarded the plaintiff millions. Any one of us could be set up just like Trump may have been if we had a lot of money or a high political profile. ".

Covid didn't kill 1 million Americans Xi and the CCP did.

https://www.breitbart.com/immigratio...ed-by-slavery/

The level of Trump's fraud was over-the-top egregious. Some judge would have to be a classic lawless, anti Rule of Law Repub not to have spanked Trump's ass for it in historic fashion.

To have gone classic "soft on crime" Repub with Trump would have been tantamount to ruling that a bank loan application is "just a vague guideline, go ahead and lie your ass off on it to get the best loan rate, as long as you pay us back no biggie, our other borrowers subsidizing YOUR lies are fine with that. ".

New Fux News Spin On Trump Fraud. "victimless crime."
Sure, it's victimless, unless you count every taxpayer in New York City.

https://crooksandliars.com/2023/10/n...aud-victimless

Every taxpayer in New York City is screwed by what Trump did. Every resident of New York City is screwed by what Trump did. And every customer of the banks that lent the money and the insurance companies which insured the properties are victims. Every one.

In case it's not self-evident, here's why. By undervaluing the properties for tax purposes, Trump cheated New York out of tax revenue needed to pay police, fire fighters, repair streets and other city expenses, which means the rest of the taxpayers picked up that tab. By overvaluing the properties for loan and insurance purposes, Trump used more of each bank's share of "lendable assets," so that the next person in line for a loan might have been declined, or had their loan shorted because the banks can't have more than a certain percentage of their assets in loans at any one time. By overvaluing the properties for insurance purposes, every other insured would have had to pick up the tab for excessive insurance claims, had any occurred. It doesn't matter if the loans were paid off before he refinanced them, because they put banks and insurers at risk for more than they could have collected if he defaulted.

Nevermind the "if" he defaulted part. He lied in order to get a lower or more preferential rate on the loans. Guess who paid the difference between what that deadbeat con man liar paid and what he should have paid if he'd gotten the loan at all?

Everybody on the Planet who paid a higher rate!

(...kkkk!) Doubt that very much!

However, while your concern for me is touching (albeit unwarranted), truth be told, I am just as equally concerned about you getting gun-down and/or AK'd/AR-15'd, from the 7% surge in thuggin' from your fellow QAnon/MAGA Repubs cohoerts. While I'm sure my concern is just as equally unwarranted, the point is...stay safe out there, in MAGA land.

But yes,with the ever increasing violence from the QAnon/MAGA Repub cult lunatic fringe, surging to a whooping 7%, that's approx. 2.3 million QAnon/MAGA Repubs, looking at thuggin', gunnin', runnin' and causin' mayhem all over the country, while trying to reinstate their "Loud and Save-ior(dumb-ass)", ...indeed it is very much alarming.

But on the flip-side, it looks like somebody's "turd-list" is also exponentially piling up. So I guess somebody, better best get to shovelin' (...kkkk!)

The classic, iconic, most beloved Repub Party lord and savior leader in history knows which side has the guns and other weapons, is prepared to use them and on whom in order to effect their necessary "2nd Amendment Solution" to the decades long problem for them that the American electorate simply does not want mentally ill Repubs in the White House:

Trump said 'I don't effing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me' as an angry mob avoided metal detectors at his January 6 speech: ex-aide testimony


https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...ng-care-2022-6

She also testified that she was made aware of Trump supporters fashioning flag poles into spears, and alerted the chief of staff about those weapons along with "knives, guns in the form of pistols and rifles bear spray, body armor, spears, and flag poles."

There are many ways understandably self-loathing, sucidal, mentally ill Repubs can and do murder their fellow Americans, keep those Red State murder rates up there among the highest in the country and vote for Repub pols to destroy the country over and over again well before they finally get around to, mercifully, destroying themselves. Not just with guns.

Just so you don't lose sleep at night worrying, you don't have to worry much about getting killed by MAGA Republicans Spidy. There's a much, much higher probability you'll be shot by a Democrat with a handgun than a wild eyed MAGA Republican with a semi-automatic rifle...

Pay attention, Elvis, this is what being lied to, looks like. This is what dishonesty, falsification and deceitfulness, looks like.

In light of the phony and fake evidence the Repubs tried to peddle, in their so called impeachment herring, was just an utter disaster as they trotted out their so called evidence and witnesses, only to go down in flames.

Naturally, they were thoroughly rebuked and debunked, by House Dems. And when Repubs, had their own witnesses testify, those witnesses, even had to admit the evidence was weak and wasn't really sufficient enough to form an impeachment.

Uh, sorry, Spidey, your link to the video of Johnathan Turley was not the slam dunk you claimed it was. Turley said the evidence to impeach Joe Biden is not there yet but he recommended that an inquiry into getting that evidence if it exists should be done. That is not a Democratic victory.

For someone like you who points to facts as opinions that you agree with, the latest fact is Hunter Biden is suing for having his abandoned laptop stolen from him. That said laptop had "all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation" was not a lie by our intelligence experts. We have been treated to everything that goes against Dems as being a Putin plot since 2016.

When you say this bullshit about Biden and how great a job he has done, I have to ask this, do you live here? Outside of a stock market rally, I do not see shit that he has done. His economic policies, particularly with green energy are fucking crazy, and I have seen Democrats like Oliver Stone and Roger Moore push back on them.

Today is actually the first day people have to pay back on their student loans. Between that and energy prices, I wonder if this will be the fatal blow. To top if off, there is this, https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-f...99-us-counties.

Which really is not news to anyone looking to buy a home.

The flip side of this is if you own a home, you are kicking ass, but you are sitting on your ass. It is no wonder UAW workers are asking for crazy amounts of money. They need it to buy a house.

...you don't have to worry much about getting killed...

In fact, Democrats are a much larger % of felons than Republicans. This study from New York showed that there were about 7 X as many registered Democrats as registered Republicans among ex-felons in the sample. https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~marcmere/...tification.pdf

Rinse, Recycle and Repeat??? Time to get a new study, brother!

Yeah, you showed this doc't before and I wasn't buying into the correlation with ex-felons (all being associated with gun violence as their crime going into jail) and said affiliated voting parties after being release from jail, that YOU are trying to make then...and I'm still not buying it, now!

So good luck, peddling and convincing someone else with that out of date and highly suspect document!

https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~marcmere/...tification.pdf

There's a reason why Democrats push to give voting rights to ex felons while Republicans do not. It's because they disproportionately vote for Democrats.

There is a reason Repubs want to put guns in the hands of the mentally ill and Dems do not. It is because most Repubs are mentally ill and since democracy is just not into Repubs, they have been quite vocal about preferring a "2nd Amendment Solution" to their political and mental deficiencies.

Trump signs bill reversing Obama rule to ban gun purchases by mentally ill.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...rule/98484106/

And on gun-related deaths, a high percentage of mentally ill Repubs will commit suicide with their gun. Which underscores how dangerously mentally ill those gun-toting Repubs can be to others before they off themselves:

Red States Have Higher Gun Death Rates Than Blue States. Heres Why.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/arianna...h=b6ebb581f812

A new study published in Journal of the American Medical Associations Surgery found that firearm deaths are more likely in small rural towns than in major urban cities, adding to research that contradicts common belief that Democratic blue areas have higher incidences of gun-related deaths than do Republican red districts.
....
45,222. Thats how many people died in the U.S. due to gun-related injuries in 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of that number, gun suicides account for 54%.

I think there is a connection that deserves study between all those mentally ill Repubs committing suicide and, before that, their persistent voting for the one Party behind every major economic downturn, massive jobs destruction and crippling government shutdown.

Unfortunately, before their mentally ill suicidal tendancy manifests in their ultimate act of self-destruction, their Repub votes drag the rest of the country into one damn historic destructive result after another.

BTW, lose sleep about being murdered in Red States, not Blue states:

Republicans claim Democrats cant keep us safe crime data disagrees.
Studies show that states with higher murder rates are those that vote red even as conservatives stoke fear about crime.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...es-gun-control

[EihTooms]

That's because the Democratic Party, with its system of super delegates that historically disenfranchised the base, was anything but Democratic. So some Republicans have adopted the term "Democrat Party. ".

Oh, then after their constant effort to disenfranchise likely Democratic voters specifically as well as characterize a violent, cop-killing Insurrection and attack on the Capitol in order to overturn a free and fair election and overthrow American democracy as "Legitimate Political Discourse", the Dems really ought to adopt the term "The America-hating, anti-American Party" for the Republican Party.

All of which and more makes numbskull Mark Levin's idiotic and wrongheaded title and subject for his America-hating book even more idiotic and wrong-headed, of course.

LOL. He must also believe the only Party to produce every historic recovery, major jobs creation and prolonged economic expansion of the past 100 years obviously "hates" America while the only Party that has produced every Great Depression, Great Recession and Massive Job Losses in that same 100 years just as obviously "loves" America. Lolol. Perfect idiotic, numbskull, America-hating Repub logic.
