Posts: 7454I have not followed Trump's New crypto venture
Has Trump's New crypto venture folded yet? Or scammed millions of its early investors and left them bankrupt and broke yet?

Posts: 7454Covering your ass already, I see.
So now the reason virtually every Repub presidential administration ends with a shitstorm of a Great Repub Depression, a Great Repub Recession, Wiping Out Millions of Jobs, Skyrocketing Unemployment Rates, maybe a New Repub Quagmire, Unwinnable War or Two etc, etc and none so much in so many ways as Trump handed Biden the last time and more than likely will hand the next incoming Dem is because "the Democrats left a ticking time bomb (budget deficits) that may explode at about the end of Trump's term. In general this is an excellent political strategy on the part of the Democrats, which over the decades has caused observers like EihTooms to believe Republican stewardship sucks and vice versa"?

Gee, if only an outgoing Dem president would sometimes hand an incoming Repub president economic conditions as rosy and workable as the outgoing Repubs always hand incoming Dems. Then America would not have to suffer the consequences of those "ticking time bombs" they leave behind that are magically and brilliantly timed just right to coincide with the 4 years, 8 years, 12 years or however long Repub administrations take to blow up the American economy and sometimes that of the whole world as well, right "Bothsider / Neithersider" Tiny?
Lololol.

Posts: 3945Funny story tonight I took the subway downtown Chicago
An old black dood sat next to me a very young white dood sat in front of me sideways, the train is jam packed.

Then I hear someone say what the fuck did you say?
It was an older black woman I thought she was a man, with a covid mask and very very short hair (a lesbian).
She starts screaming in his face, they are yelling for several minutes.
I thought he was going to blast her ass to the moon (https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news...10/12/1630847/) and finally he says get the fuk out of here and pushes her to get thru the crowd to get off the train as he is leaving I'm yelling no simpin here with my White Power first in the air and many men are laughing hard!
As I got off the train a few stops later I start yelling again with my first pumping in the air, no fuckin simpin here!! To loud ass laughing.
This was an epic battle of the sexes. Kamala Harris ended her campaign with Beyonc, Oprah and Lady Gaga. Trump and Vance went down the rabbit hole of the bro ecosystem and ended with Joe Rogan's embrace.

Posts: 2386Of course you are. And a Sanders voter too. I agree with him on foreign policy and social liberties. But some of his ideas about the economy that attract you would make the USA like France, or worse. Meaning we'd all be poorer, except for the select few who work for the federal government or are too lazy to work.

Posts: 2386Yes, the primary voters did a pretty piss poor job of selecting candidates. It's wild isn't it? Trump tried to steal the Presidency four years ago. And he won!

I like his description of how the Democrats left a ticking time bomb (budget deficits) that may explode at about the end of Trump's term. In general this is an excellent political strategy on the part of the Democrats, which over the decades has caused observers like EihTooms to believe Republican stewardship sucks and vice versa. You'll like what he says about the bond vigilanties. That is, how it fits with your thoughts about the merits of Bitcoin.
Here's the excerpt.
"Progressives managed to ratchet up federal government spending very impressively indeed over the last three years, handing the Trump team a very hot potato -- with a trend structural deficit / GDP ratio close to 7%.
What if Republicans mismanage the situation in almost as reckless and irresponsible a fashion as Democrats did in 2021-22? (If history is any guide, that's a real possibility!
Or what if the "bond vigilantes" Yardeni first spoke of way back in the 1980's return from their long sabbatical, precipitating a housing industry fiasco? In that event, it might be pretty difficult for Republicans to hold the house or for J. D. to win the presidency in '28.
That's the beauty of the American system! If one team fucks up and gets fired by the voters, it gets to plan the comeback soon enough. How many times has the political pendulum swung over the last three four decades?
The Blue Team better find a less disastrous candidate, though. Perhaps a Bay Area uber-progressive who's expressed the desire to ban fracking, jettison any semblance of border security, spend money in trillion-dollar chunks on almost every element of an AOC/Bernie-style wish list, and even use public funds to finance sex-change surgery for condemned prisoners just isn't the wisest choice.
So, Democrats would do well to encourage people like California's "Governor Brylcreem" to stay out of the limelight!"
Yes, this dude's so smart he knows how to spell Brylcreem! I had to look that one up.

Posts: 6685The Democratic Party got its collective ass handed to them Because of policy and focus on issues that the average citizen of The United States of America does not give a fuck about!
The United States of America is full of working people. The Democratic Party has forgotten that. They want to tax you until you only have spare change in your pocket and begging for food on the street.
The United States of America is full of people figuring out how to put meat in the pot for dinner. The Democratic Party is focused on the meat between the legs of men who want to be girls.
The United States of America is full of people who are invested in crypto. These are people who have put their money where their mouth is. The Democratic Party ignored the crypto vote. They are focused on building a "Anti Cyrpto" army. The Senator who said that is a Democrat and still holds her seat. In the minority. Oops!
Trump is considered pro crypto. 261 Pro crypto candidates elected to the House of Representatives. 17 Pro crypto candidates elected to the Senate.
Do crypto holders have the attention of the Democratic Party now?

I hope Trump disbars all that legal scum who engaged in the disgusting lawfare campaign and fines the shit out of them.

Posts: 4634Yeah, right. Trump has gotten 74 million votes in the 2020 and 2024 elections. In this election, Kamala is at 69 million. Hiliary got 66 million, and Obama got 62 million in 2012. You see any statistical outliers because I sure as fuck do not.

You mean Harris lost because one in eight Democrats sat out 2024? Give me a fucking break! The pattern is you get 3 or 4 million more votes per election, but in 2020, Biden supposedly got 15 million more votes than Hiliary.
I do not know how anyone with a functioning brain can look at these numbers and not conclude there was MASSIVE cheating that went on in 2020.

Posts: 4634Here we go, another soy boy. Kamala lost because of sexism. Of course, that overlooks the fact that female voters outweigh male voters. Just like most of Spidy's dates, many of the women stayed home.

Maybe you should say racist America was not ready for a 75% white president.

Posts: 7454There is a whole lot of Revisionist History going on out there.
Typically pro Repub Mainstream Media, yes even MSNBC and many, many Democrats are certainly engaging in a whole lot of Revisionist History in order to blame Harris, Walz, Biden and every other Dem for the 19% or so Dem voters who were so satisfied with their financial situation today that they didn't bother to follow the news and vote this time around for the admittedly horrible outcome for America in this election result.
I see Professional Dem Election Victory spoiler, Bernie Sanders, lying about how the Democratic Party has "abandoned the American working class" for the past 30 years or whatever. LOL.
Others are saying this election outcome is something like the culmination of the Dems' decades long loss of connection with the American people, how the American people are "abandoning them back", that Trump and his Repubs just know how America thinks and feels and that is why he and they are winning elections.
I hear hogwash about Dems being out-of-touch and must overhaul their entire Party agenda and philosophy vs Genius, common sense, Real American-whisperers Trump and the Repubs blah blah blah.
Total nonsense.
If any of that were true, how is it that the exact opposite of it was "culminating" in historic fashion at least up until this year and right before this particular election?
Does anybody remember this? Gee, it was barely more than a year ago:
Democrats have been winning big in special elections.
That could bode well for them in the 2024 election.
Sept. 20, 2023
https://abcnews.go.com/538/democrats...y?id=103315703
Yes, I realize that is not flawlessly predictive of anything. But not only was that happening for Dems but it was happening after 30+ years of Dem presidential candidates winning more votes from Americans in the working class and every other class than the Repub candidate in all but one election. After an already very old Dem candidate and multiple presidential nominee loser won 7,000,000 more votes and the EC majority against an incumbent president, something Trump has still never done at any level, and who even after this recent election got more votes in a presidential election than anyone else in history."Does that really mean anything? On its own, no any single special election can be influenced by any number of factors, including candidate quality or parochial issues. But Democrats have been posting special-election overperformances of that magnitude all year long, in all kinds of districts. And on average, they have won by margins 11 points higher than the weighted relative partisanship of their districts.
..........
Thats more than just an impressive streak its a potential sign of a Democratic wave election in 2024. In each of the past three election cycles, a partys average overperformance in all special elections in a given cycle has been a close match for the eventual House popular vote in the eventual general election albeit a couple of points better for Democrats.
Special elections can help predict the general election
The degree to which a party overperformed its partisan baseline in special elections for each cycle from 2017-18 to 2021-22, compared with the eventual national House popular vote in the regularly scheduled general election.
...........
Special elections have been predictive for a long time
The degree to which a party overperformed its partisan baseline in special elections for each cycle from 1989-90 to 2015-16, compared with the eventual national House popular vote in the regularly scheduled general election.
Sorry, but that does not fit the definition of a Party that has lost its touch and connection with the American people and must reassess and overhaul its entire political and governance philosophy.
To be sure, Dems must consider and look into the reason 19% of the Dem voters sat this one out, which is the sole reason Trump squeaked out a 1-3 point advantage in 3-4 battleground states and won the election. And it is the sole reason he will probably squeak out a popular vote win too, something no first term Repub candidate has done since Reagan in 1980! That was 44 years ago!
But I think the typically pro Repub MSM is getting a bit too drunk with giddy excitement over the opportunity to really trash Dems and glorify Trump and Repubs just because 19% of Dem voters were not particularly inspired or motivated to vote this time. Granted, it was at the worst possible time. But it is hardly a culmination of anything or a reason to start behaving more like Know Nothing, Do Nothing Repubs.
Maybe the 19% of Dems who sat it out simply wanted to contribute to making USA presidential history in the first time a convicted Felon was elected president.

Posts: 7454Based on what?
What have you heard from Harris, Walz, Biden, Schumer or any other Democratic Party leader that leads you to conclude, "Wow. Democrats are sore losers"?

Has any one of them claimed "the election was rigged! Stolen! We won't concede"?
Has a losing Democrat anywhere in any contest tweeted a message to his / her supporters to stand down and stand by, we're having a rally at the Capitol, it's going to be wild?
Has Harris called the Secretary of State of any state she lost and insinuated that President Biden might need to apply his newly SCOTUS-granted Royal Immunity to sic Navy SEALs on them if they don't "find" the missing votes she needs to start flipping the election?
Where are you seeing Dems being sore losers? I have not seen any such thing.
But I do agree that the American people will get what they voted for and the 19% or so of Dem voters who decided to sit this one out for whatever reason will get what they allowed to happen. They better get that, all of it or Trump will have apparently broken promises he says he always keeps.

Posts: 25808Yes, for sure, bad dominion, when Hilary had more votes than him in 2016. But Pence accepted his defeat, when Trump led to kill constitution and democracy. When shooting a ear is more difficult than reaching full face, I could have doubt if it was not just a show: God messenger, which helped him so much. Future will tell reality.
