[QUOTE=Sirioja;3054840] for Trump who already killed 2 citizens with [b]ICE[/b]. [/QUOTE]Damn straight and yet we have people up in here that believe the hype.

ICE is a out of control rogue Federal Agency who has been emboldened to kill my fellow Citizens in the Dis United States of America at will due to the backing of the current administration.

That certainly makes sense on behalf of his beleaguered and mid-term doomed Party. But it could still apply to him if he gets 5 or 6 of his MAGAs on the SCOTUS to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of a 3rd run for the WH until at least 2033.

But I think the most obvious and logical reasons are why the real reasons why.[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/03/02/poll-republicans-surge-in-general-ballot-move-closer-to-defying-history-of-congressional-midterms/[/URL]

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3054814]This is where you lose it. You are so binary, so partisan, so screwed in the head, you think Republicans ousted Biden from the Democratic ticket.

LOL. I repeat. Your own party sacked him because he was demented and could not win after the debate with Trump.

Maher and rational people like him were whom changed the election in 2024. You Dems alienated a lot of the sane people who were voting Democrat, and Maher is one of the ones who voted for Harris despite how crazy the progressives in the Democratic party are. Unlike you, Maher has the balls to call out his party when they are wrong..[/QUOTE]First of all, the political donors I was referring to were the Democratic Party political donors who, along with the typically pro Repub Mainstream Media, provided the stick and carrot or lack of carrot to push the replacement of Biden as a candidate. Neither of whom are "my side".

But on to the point of this post.

MAGA Bill Maher assured his viewers over and over again that one of the great things about his favorite dinner host Trump aside from him being a really, really, really nice guy in person, laughs at all of MAGA Bill's jokes and stuff like that dontcha' know, is that he really, really, really and you can take this to the bank because MAGA Bill and Donnie are very close now, he really, really, "really hates war."

Really.

Swear to god.

Hey, this is non partisan fair and balanced bothsider-neithersider hey I slam Dems with an angry passion but criticise Repubs with academic, even amused detachment, MAGA Bill Maher painting this lovely picture of a benevolent, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory here and so you can trust me that really nice guy Trump "really hates war."

Really.

So, has MAGA Bill apologized for getting that so wrong and selling it so convincingly to his audience on Trump's behalf and for his benefit since Iran, Venezuela, several other countries, Iran again with Repub Trump's Iran War and all that?

Oh, and who the fuck cares if Trump's MAGA Repub-controlled SCOTUS "handed Trump his ass on Tariffs" months and months and months, well, a year, after Trump used them for the only purpose he has ever even considered them; as a means to leverage personal and familial emoluments / bribes from every other country in the world who doesn't want their free market access to an international customer stifled while the American Consumer has to pay more for their goods?

Con man Donald Trump certainly doesn't give a fuck about that.

Because that same MAGA Repub-controlled SCOTUS very graciously ruled that he can go right ahead and defy any ruling he doesn't like, break any law he doesn't like with immunity from prosecution as long as he associates it with any procedure he himself deems to be an "official" act as president.

See how that works?

[QUOTE=EihTooms;3054805]Lying Liars like Ultra-Warmongering Liar Donald Trump and Liar Pete KegsBreath are just going to lie.

Back in 2017, Trump lied about Iran not complying with the Nuclear Deal as his reason for abandoning it. Then in 2026, Trump and Hegseth lied about it again as the reason for their unconstitutional War in Iran:

[B]Trump on Irans Multiple Violations[/B]

Yep. Donnie owed Bibi a lot in exchange for him delaying that May 2024 ceasefire deal until after the November election in order to ensure juuuuust enough angry Muslim voters in the only 3 swing states that mattered would shift their usual Dem votes to the Repub, which resulted in them being solely responsible for "giving Trump the presidency."[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/us/politics/maduro-khamenei-trump-surveillance.html[/URL]

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3054064]Let's go back to what I say. I prefer what is going on in Texas. Use alternative energy when it is cost effective but understand its limitations. Do not push alternative energy up people's noses. Respect the fact that fossil fuels and nukes are more reliable than alternative energy and there is a 100 year infrastructure built up to support it.
...

And your dumb ass keeps going on about MAGA and fossil fuels. Everyone wants reliable energy, and you cannot get it through your thick skull that fossil fuels are more reliable than alternative energy.[/QUOTE]LOL! What the hell are you MAGA hillbilly talking about? Yeah, fossil fuels are "so reliable", that in that last 10 years, most (perhaps 91% of) all new electricity supplied to the Texas grid was renewables (S+W+B). They are so reliable, lets not install or build new power plants come online for the next 10 years?

Electricity generation in Texas has risen 104.6 million MWh, climbing from 391.9 million MWh in 2013 to 496.5 million MWh in 2023 and this increased generation was [B][i]supplied by renewables,[/i][/B] [U]not[/U] fossil fuels.

[B]Texas was able to meet all its power demand growth,[/B] more than 2. 6% a year, [B]with renewables.[/B] [URL]https://ieefa.org/resources/meeting-demand-growth-and-greening-grid-can-go-hand-hand[/URL].

Well, it would seem common sense told Texas, not to install much fossil fuels, for the last 10 years! Just like Pakistanis' common sense told them, solar rooftop was the best way to gain back control over their electricity bills.

Oh yeah, that 100 year grid infrastructure that you are babbling on about, is ageing, dying and struggling to meet modern electricity demands, with 70% of poles, wires, transmission lines, transformers, substations, all over 25 years old, with many approaching 50-80 years.

[B]PS:[/B] BTW, in a modern, well-designed grid, a combination of renewables plus storage can be just as reliable, if not more so, for a lower cost and with zero emissions.

Wow sports fans! We're actually living through WW3! Holy cow! But goddamnit, where the nukes be at? I want armageddon! This is not the end times. I got to pay my taxes soon, can the world end now please? Jeeze louise.

I bet this is how people felt in 1941,1942 times. When the specter of the end times was near. The last few days not much happening yet. Missiles? Just drone and shit? Come on!

Let's get boots on the ground! They got to Call of Duty this shit like the video games.

I'm so tired of life, and I figure if my life is miserable, it's totally fine by me that everyone else's should be too. But it always seems like everyone is much better off. *sigh* sucks to be me. And not in the good way either. Well, let's just hope I get to get my dick wet one last time in Bangkok before the world ends!

But he's lying about 2008 and everyone knows it.

Scumbag Pelosi and Ted Kennedy rigged the outcome of the primaries to hand it to Scumbag Barry Hussein.

And cockblock Scumbag Bubba from a 3rd and 4th term.

Allahu Akbar.[/QUOTE]Let's ask non Democrat Bernie Sanders where demanding every political Party have an election to choose who in its Party will run for election instead of the way it was done for more than 100 years after the days of Our Founding Fathers falls on his "Must Do" list of moves to ensure every vote counts in a democracy after, oh, no more gerrymandering, set the number of Senators according to the population of human beings in a State instead of tumbleweeds, cactus and rattlesnakes, unlimited executive orders, ending term limits, abandon the idiotic MAGA Repub SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity, getting dark money out of elections, the end of the Electoral College, etc, etc, etc.

You know, some of the things NONE of the numbskulls demanding that the Democratic Party should have had an inter-Party battle over who might or might not get the nomination and access to the money with 100 days left to campaign against a Repub who led his mob to attack and kill cops as well as assassinate a few elected officials in order to overthrow American democracy and who had been campaigning for that 2nd term since 1 minute after lying about his Oath of Office the first time around, have ever complained about as "threats to democracy.

At this point, you are just pathetic.

At least 100 years. All through the time they were convincing you and millions of other voters that "Republicans are better at handling the economy than Democrats" while time after time after time Repubs were driving us into one Great Depression, Great Recession or Massive Jobs Destruction after another and none of the great economic recoveries, great economic expansions or historic jobs creation while at the same time Democrats were producing every great economic recovery, great economic expansion or historic jobs creation and none of the Great Depressions, Great Recessions or historic jobs destruction.

MSM knows how well bad news sells, terrible news sells more and catastrophic news sells the most.

That is why they try to help Repubs win elections over Dems.

Of course, everyone who is better informed will support and vote for Dems. Members of MSM would rank high among the most informed. But that isn't the side that produces horrific economic and national security results and consequently the terrible headlines they crave in order to attract more eyes and ears to their service and put more immediate income into their pockets.

The fact that ANYBODY thinks Biden couldn't walk, couldn't talk, didn't know who he was, where he was or what he was doing at any time including during that debate with Trump where 30% of the people who watched it thought Biden won, compared to only 20% thinking Obama won his first debate of his 2nd term campaign, is all the proof anyone needs to accept that MSM was where that blatant lie was created, nurtured and made "common knowledge."

Do you think Repubs are "better at handling the economy than Democrats"?

If you do then you have been suckered by terrible headlines-craving MSM into believing such hogwash.

Do you believe Joe Biden didn't know who he was, where he was or what he was doing and answered every question with incoherent blather during that debate while Donald Trump's responses were lucid, pertinent to the topic of the question, well-informed, coherent and insightful?

Then you have been suckered by terrible headlines-craving MSM into believing such hogwash.

And so were the big Democratic donors like that Disney lady who pulled her donations for all down ballot Dems unless Biden pulled out and then she was fine with it when Harris replaced him.

Whomp whomp, indeed.

[QUOTE]Companies added 63,000 workers in February, an improvement from the [b]downwardly revised 11,000 in January[/b] and better than the consensus estimate for 48,000.

Most of the hiring came in just two sectors: health services and construction.[b] Job growth in other sectors either was flat or lower.[/b]

Pay grew 4.5% for those staying in their jobs while wage gains for job switchers moved down to 6.3%, the smallest gap since ADP began tracking the metric.[/QUOTE]Will Trump's disastrous classic Repub economic policies and stewardship once again result in there being millions fewer jobs in the economy when / if he leaves office in January 2029 than when he took office in January 2026, as was the case in his first term?

He sure as hell is working on repeating that historically disastrous result. Stay tuned.

Yep. Looks like more whomp whomp.

The average price of a gallon of regular gas in the USA today is higher than it was yesterday, higher than it was a week ago, both of those are higher than it was a month ago and higher today than it was in February 2025, the first full month of Trump's 2nd disastrous term.

In fact, it is higher today than it was all the way back in October 2024 under Biden, well before the election.

See the screenshots below.

Bear in mind, that was when it was on a dramatic decline from a temporary increase while today it is on a dramatic increase.

Oh, and that was when Biden-Harris were recovering us and the rest of the world from the economic catastrophe of Trump's Pandemic, recovering the millions of jobs Trump's worst economic and national security decisions wiped out followed by creating millions more jobs than all three Repub presidents' economies combined, including Trump, of course. Yes, yes, yes, they were by far mostly private-sector jobs, not government jobs, you Trumpian / MAGA Cult bonehead liars.

But these skyrocketing gas prices under Trump are happening while his economy is producing some of the worst jobs numbers decades, at least since he and other previous Repubs were president. And that is after Trump fired and threatened to fire any BLS and Fed official who dared to report numbers that make him look bad. So we can only imagine how much worse these jobs numbers are really.

Oh well. We tried.

Jeeze. This war is so boring. Some dead people, sure. But no real excitement know what I mean? Coupla drones here and there. Bunch of rich idiots trapped in luxury Dubai. Boo hoo! Real sad.

I'm beginning to lose interest. I'm not rock hard anymore.

Call me when there's like actual World War 3 action happening. How is this even 'War', when there's no boots on the ground? The Vietnam days were way more exciting!

With video technology today, you'd think we'd see more explosions up close.

Should I still go to Bangkok? Satan knows I want to. Come on you guys. You idiots voted for orange, why can't he make the war more exciting and entertaining for us to watch then? We're already in a dystopia, let's just go all the way to armageddon baby!
