American Politics

[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2658861]Simple. You go on the highest rated network with the highest audience. Fox has more viewers than any other news network so more customers. Hence the Super Bowls ads are more expensive regardless of which network broadcasts it as the audience is huge.[/QUOTE]As has been pointed out, even the lowest rated regular broadcast news program, the enemies of the FUX News cultists, garners almost double the overall viewership and more importantly almost double the key 25-54 year old demo of the highest rated FUX News Channel program.

You would need to apologize to your friend for applying whatever masters in finance and reading comprehension skills you applied to screw him out of at least 50% of the key exposure and likely sales for his product in order to subject him to such ill-informed advice.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2659074]Even the most ignorant person in the US knows that January 6th was an [B]attempted coup[/B]. Nobody with a brain ever said that an attempted coup didn't hurt anybody. Ever.[/QUOTE]Well, you are one of the most brain dead BM's on this web site and you think Jan 6th was a coup so I guess it must have been a coup. And anyone who disagrees with you is a fascist.

You are a bad joke, PV. Not very amusing.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2658970]Honestly, I'm not sure what makes you happy about this.

Gerrymandering is disgusting and immoral. It's designed to suppress the will of people, which is why it's illegal in most, if not all world democracies. Democrats can't claim moral superiority if they use the same revolting tool of political chicanery as their opponents.

Basically, you're saying it's OK to do shitty things as long as it suits "the good guys".

Nah, not with you on this one.[/QUOTE]Of course, I am delighted to hear the side that produces far, far better results has or will add more seats using perfectly legal means to do it. That they are doing it the way the other side has done it even more egregiously and had been crowing about all the wonderful outcomes it provides for their mission to crash the economy over and over again makes it even more delightful.

But, as I indicated, I would be even more delighted if the currently legal act of gerrymandering was outlawed. Along with a couple of other currently legal built-in rigging that gives a loony fringe minority in America control of the levers too much and too often.

Yes, unfortunately, it is currently legal. You want to make it illegal? The only way I can imagine that proposal ever getting enough necessary Repub votes in Congress to outlaw it is if Repubs' butts are bitten and bloodied by it much more severely than they are kissed by it.

And to that only possible end, I wholeheartedly encourage and applaud those world class gerrymandering Dems to carry on!

I don't really look to my elected politicians to teach me morality. I expect them to go about things legally but could not care less about whether or not it is considered shitty or disgusting by current and always shifting standards.

If I feel a need for moral guidance, not likely, but if I do, I will go to a priest or rabbi. LOL. Funny thought. But not a politician.

[QUOTE=Canada;2658983]There is nothing to run away from Jan 6. Just another protest that was less violent than a BLM protest. You keep talking about January 6 like it hurt the American people but it is a fact Biden inflation is hurting Americans more than January 6 ever did.[/QUOTE]During the January 6th insurrection rioting there were 140 police officer injured.

Which specific BLM protest had more than a dozen officers injured?

I think there was no BLM protest even come close.

In all the BLM protests of years 2020 and 2021 combined, how many police officers were injured?

OK, the wimps on Wall Street might be terrified by this because, horror of horrors, the Fed will probably need to raise the cost of money somewhere just south of 2 friggin' percent over the next couple of years in order to cool down Biden's roaring economy.

But the classic Great Dem / Biden Economic Recovery, Expansion, Jobs Creation and Long Overdue American Wage Increases continues!

Along with major upward revisions for November and December, as predicted:

[B]Payrolls show surprisingly powerful gain of 467,000 despite omicron surge[/B]

Thanks go to Joe, Nancy, Chuck, the Dems and everyone who voted for them.

You are a bad joke, PV. Not very amusing.[/QUOTE]If you reread my original post, you braid-dead fascist, you will note that I said [B]attempted coup[/B]. I guess you don't know what the word [B]attempted[/B] means. I'd try to explain it but I'd have more luck trying to teach algebra to my dog.

A [B]coup[/B], as defined by Brittanica, is "coup d'état, also called coup, the sudden, violent overthrow of an existing government by a small group. " Was January 6th "sudden"? It was from the sense that nobody with half a brain thought a rally would amount to anything. Was it violent? Anybody with half a brain who looks at any of the thousands of videos from that day can think otherwise. Was it a "small group"? Only 750-some-odd have been charged so anybody with half a brain would call that relatively small.

But I did qualify statements in the last paragraph because I used the term "half a brain". So anybody with at least half a brain knows that January 6th was an attempted coup. If someone has less than half a brain, then January 6th was just a normal protest by a bunch of antifa clowns dressed up like supporters of the OTTIFG who took a leisurely stroll through the Capitol assisted by police officers. Of course, it is going to be hard to reconcile the fact that the OTTIFG is now offering to pardon all of those antifa clowns but, hey, the fascist Republican party does a good job at trying to spin things.

Bad joke? Yes, the fascists certainly are.

1st graders know that 5 is bigger than 3.

Did you go to grade school and college in the State of California like I did?

My schools had standards and educated the people that attended.

Thanks go to Joe, Nancy, Chuck, the Dems and everyone who voted for them.[/QUOTE]Feds are going to have to raise rates to try and slow down Biden record inflation. Thanks Joe for high gas prices and high grocery bills. Good news is Biden is making sure oil companies get rich. Oil companies up already this year 20-30%. Between stopping drilling and cancelling pipelines oil production is down so we have to buy from OPEC and Russia at higher prices. Biden supporting oil world wide.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2659084]Actually, people who love America change unjust laws all the time.

People like you who hate America want to Make America White Again. You see it at every rally that the OTTIFG holds.[/QUOTE]Does that explain your hatred of America and capitalism?

Trump is calling on his most rabid followers to throw violent protests if he gets indicted. No, he's not using the word violent, but just like in his every speech, violence is implied.

[QUOTE]If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protests we have ever had in Washington, D.C., in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere.[/QUOTE]The biggest "we have ever had" so far took place in DC on Jan 6. That "protest" left several people dead and 150 injured. So Trump is tacitly asking his most fervent groupies for even more violence.

Nice.

But that's not all. Apparently hundreds of his supporters who stormed the Capital on Jan 6 are getting prosecuted, right? That's not a problem. "If it requires pardons, we will give them pardons," he says.

Even nicer.

We're talking about the same POS coward who promised on 1/6 to walk with them to the Capital. And who went straight back to the White House instead to enjoy the unfolding mayhem on TV.

The same POS coward who could've given them blank pardon just after the event. What prevented him back then?

The same greedy POS coward who, despite racking up $115 million from his dummy followers, abandoned all his allies including crazy Rudy and pillow guy and left them in a ditch fending off several multibillion dollar lawsuits.

The same immoral POS coward who always demands unlimited loyalty from everyone who serves him, and who's thrown every loyalist under the bus when they've served their purpose.

And now, he's openly blackmailing American justice system with violence while dangling pardons to his worshippers: don't worry, fine people, daddy has your backs.

And there're still tens of millions who trust every word uttered by this lying, thieving, soulless coward.

Well, it's going to be interesting. Scary, but interesting for sure.

The Sherriff placed the voting machine into his locked evidence room.

The Sherriff then wrote to the White House. Directed to Super-Woman-Attorney Sidney Powell.

The Michigan Sheriff held that voting machine (Hopefully not in cuffs). And he blew up the phones of his neighboring Sherriff, encouraging them to lock-up and secure their foreign-controlled hardware and software.

That dumbass criminal Michigan Sherriff let the White House know that he would wait for them to send their special voter fraud detection forensic team out to inspect the evidence he gathered.

Maybe if TrumpShit had not stiffed his Dream Team of lawyers.

We might have the final report on that confined voting machine's investigative report.

Bad joke? Yes, the fascists certainly are.[/QUOTE]1. Your intolerance and anger is what defines you. What is your problem? Biden won the election. You should be happy with all the "good things he is doing (not). Instead you lash out at everyone who you disagree with. You really need try to get a grip on yourself. This anger and intolerance is a totalitarian, fascistic tendency in your character.

2. Now pay close attention because I know this was not and will not be reported by MSNBC or the left wing internet: On Jan 5 President Trump asked for 10,000 National Guard troops to handle security during his January 6th rally, but he was denied by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. This fact was confirmed by Kash Patel, Acting United States Secretary of Defense at the time, who testified to this fact in front of the anti-Trump House committee investigating the Capitol riot. So the pertinent question is why did Pelosi refuse the National Guard security. It was her sole responsibility as Speaker of the House to call out the National Guard. She refused and is therefor culpable for what followed.

My parents didn't have to pay for my education. I went to college on an academic scholarship. I paid my way through school by working while I was attending and did not have any student loans. Unlike you I have a degree and a masters and I am compensated very well at my job at a top USA financial company. With your great school in San Diego did you get an academic scholarship? Did you make a 6 figure salary coming out of college? I wouldn't trade my life with you or anybody.
