American Politics

[Spidy]

RamDavidson84, Not sure why you insist on outright attacking the messenger and not the message, but I think you can do better?

Dude, you do realize, that by focusing on the person delivering the argument, rather than the argument itself, you ignore the actual merits (or lack thereof), with regards to their position/argument.

Is what SubCmdr saying in the posts provided, or the evidence and FACTs, "untrue", "false" or "dis-misinformation" and out of character for the an American Fuhrer led, MAGA/Republican Party? If so, by all means, state your case!

Sure, there are times, when we all poke fun at each other and there's always a bit of "mean spirited" ribbing, but in the end, delivered typically, within the context of the debate, discussion or argument.

Personally, I'm more interested in your rebuttal to his political argument or characterization of the Repubs, w/r to the intended purpose of this thread, which is to debate the political issues posed by other BMs.

C'mon man, show us your political gumption and wherewithal! As your ad hominem post, doesn't really invalidate, SubCmdr's actual factual (or unfactual) claims, now does it?

PS: Now I know, you're always a good solid candidate when it comes to providing your "OPINIONS", but what about the occasional FACTS and/or articles to substantiate your positions, in a debate?

Probably not in Europe where we have much better quality for thermic cars. I laugh on free speed German autobahns. Not 60 miles.

More News for the EV and Battery haters...

CATL Qiling Battery II used in the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, breaks track speed records at world famous Germany’s Nürburgring Ring.

• Xiaomi’s prototype high-performance SU7 has set a record lap time at Germany’s Nürburgring track, according to the company. The SU7 Ultra completed the grueling circuit in just six minutes and 46.874 seconds, which takes the title of the fastest four-door car on the famous track.

I can only imagine, the driver of the Xiaomi EV, had a similar big smile and huge laugh on his face, as he shatters the Nürburgring track world record, in his non-polluting EV.

Don't want to Pay Taxes, then consider a change of society...

Hey Elvis, This is great advice from Spidy! If you don't want to pay taxes out the gazoo, like 100 X more than what you get back from the government in benefits, consider a change of scenery! Renounce your citizenship and move! That's what Trump correctly said that some successful, hard working Americans would do if their taxes were increased.

Tooms' Thailand has a territorial tax system, where you only have to pay on income you bring into the country. Costa Rica and Panama have some mighty fine hookers and they have territorial tax systems too. Yeah, you might not have the quality and value you get in Colombia, but you can pay for a lot of poontang with the taxes you'll save! Or rent an apartment and put some money in a bank in Monaco and you can live there completely tax free! So many options.

I'd advise against Spidy's picks Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen and South Sudan. Yes, their individual tax rates are 0% or 10%, but the women are butt fuck ugly in three of those countries. And they might just slice your wiener off in Somalia if you're caught in a tryst with one of the local lasses.

The federal government also transfers general revenues to the Highway Trust Fund when necessary to cover funding shortfalls.

However, this is not a direct allocation from federal income tax revenues but rather from general government funds, which include various sources of revenue.

Splitting hairs over the accounting in gov't coffers, for the sake of this argument, is a fools errand. Gov't General Funds, is all fungible money!

This gov't aid / assistance or transfer, is not some "when necessary" as you put it, but a never ending $275+ billion dollar, propping-up of gov't assistance, of funding the HTF, since 2008.

• "Due to spending being enacted at unsustainable rates for decades, the HTF has repeatedly faced potential sudden and significant spending reductions which could eventually be felt at the state level in the form of lower reimbursements from the federal government. Moreover, since 2008, Congress has approved a total of $275 billion in general fund transfers from the Treasury to the HTF".

FEMA was used to pay for housing for illegals, and I have never used their services.

I never used any ATF service, and I do not know why they even exist, and I have never used any service of the USA Marshall service.

Since the DEA was formed, drugs are more available, more potent, and cheaper than ever. I have never used any of their services and wish they did not exist.

The FBI launched a coup against the president I voted for. I have never used their services either.

How come you did not mention the TSA? Because those are people who have harassed citizens and have been proven to do no good at all? If you include being harassed by a government agency, then yes, you could say I have paid the TSA to harass me. Are you proud of yourself? LOL. ICE allowed millions of illegals in under Biden. My only experience with them is they are part of the same harassment group as the TSA.

(...kkkk!) You must live a very sheltered life, not to have used, benefited from directly or indirectly from ATF, DEA, FBI, ICE, USA Marshall, ICE and FEMA / USA Fire Administration.

You know the hardest part of answering an Elvis 2008 post, is wading through all that toxic American Fuhrer like, MAGA Gish Gallop, meant to obfuscate the FACTS, spin the truth and spread dis / misinformation. I had to go back and take another GOOD LOOK at your posts surrounding your lame, uneducated MAGA wise guy diatribe about, "Two out of every three paid tax dollars does not go to any government service whatsoever", and here's what I found:

Time and time again, in all of those posts, they highlighted, your inability, ineptitude or stubbornness, to clearly understand:

• The role of good governance, government and taxation, towards forming and benefiting a well-run functioning democratic civilized society, is crucial to building and maintaining the kind of society we all want to live in.

Hey, if paying no taxes is YOUR THING, may I suggest Somalia, Afghanistan, Monaco or Cayman Islands (for no "income tax" for the Paycheck Superheroes, like yourself), and let's not forget those failed states like Yemen and South Sudan.

I will take my lemonade for free now, mo fo. You still got nothing.

Not to worry, dude, I'm sure the 5th grade kids on your block, have that special brew of free "lemonade", for dumbasses on their block.

Drink UP that free "lemonade", now, ya hear boy! (...kkkk!).

The gov't aid/assistance or transfer, is not done, "...when necessary" as you put it, but is a never ending $275+ billion dollar, eye-watering funding of the HTF, since 2008.

The HTF by all accounts is bankrupt and has never had enough to fund the pipeline of projects, around the country. The HTF funded by "user fees" and "user taxes", is a fiscal illusion.

You are a fascinating poster Subboicumman. I have always been intrigued by sociopath narcissists like yourself. Whats it like to have demons eat away at all you all day because you don't get enough attention? What it like to need attention so bad you have to constantly spew false claims of racism to get it? I appreciate how you go so over the top with your racist republican rants that it makes it clear to any reader you don't play with a full deck of cards and therefore there is no reason to take offense. I truly pity your soul my brother. Hope you get the help you need.

P.S. Did a certain event trigger your narcism or do you think you were born with it? I really am curious to know.

Given your rabid ad hominem attack you must be a Republic Racist. Instead of attacking me defend the policies of your party.

No one should be offended by the truth. If I have posted lies they you quote them RamDavidson84.

As for you layman's evaluation of my personality characteristics you must have a severe reading comprehension problem. I've said it once, I will say it again and I will keep saying it until you understand it. I do care what you think of me, what names you call me, what you think of where I live or what I do.

You are I are exactly alike. We are both International Tricks! So even if you think you a better than me because you won the birth lottery and your mother pushed you out of her vagina in a country that gave your immediate privilege upon birth, you are doing the same socially unapproved activities as I am.

Remember, when you point your finger at me, three are pointed back at you. That is the nature of how Republican Racist work.

Do you have anything to add to the discussion of American Politics or will you simply continue your ad hominem against me personally?

FBI reassigns agents from iconic photo of them kneeling during George Floyd protest

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reassigned several agents who were photographed kneeling with demonstrators during a 2020 protest in the wake of police killing of George Floyd, people briefed on the matter told CNN.

The reassignments, viewed as demotions by many inside the FBI, come nearly five years after the episode that ignited controversy inside the bureau. FBI officials offered no explanation for changing the roles to less coveted positions for the agents, according to sources.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/30/p...est/index.html

These agents were assigned to do a job they were not trained for. Out numbered, they managed to de-escalate a potentially violent situation using some very unique out of the box thinking. They are being punished for it.

Republican Racists at work yet again in an effort to make the Dis-United States of America WHITE again!

56% Americans feel shameful about Trump, I find it s not much, 44% thinking this crazy is good image for them, when many boycott now USA for tourism, products. USA, say thank You Trump for your fall.

17% citizens think about leaving USA because of Trump. Such a MAGA fall. Fall is keeping on for Tesla.

[SubCmdr]

I have a question for the European Dis-Union members posting up in here

If you don't like American Food, if you don't like American Cars, if you don't like American Politics.

Why in the fuck do you care about tariffs and NATO?

Produce your own food, drive your own cars, do your own political thing and prepare to defend yourselves on your own without anyone coming to rescue you again like was done in the past.

Pretty simple, eh?

ROTFLMAO!

You should eat more American chicken. It's delicious- they have a national dish called Chicken a la chlorine, which reminds me of swimming pools and leisure centres, happy days. Of course the additives and hormones they inject it with may make you grow another head one day but that's a small sacrifice to make for the deliciousness. It's cheap too. I remember eating some frozen chicken dish from Walmart when I was a student. If you cut up the nugget, it looked like it was made from cardboard, but the point was it was cheap. I personally don't care that the chicken lived its miserable short life suffering if it makes it cheap enough for me, and judging by the size of many Americans, they don't either. They have every right to protest that Europeans don't consume their delicious Chicken a la chlorine because it is Anti American and unfair.

Yes, stupid Trump crying we don't buy shit American foods, when we don't want to be obese like him, nor with senile neurons. USA are not high quality and for sure, Trump won't improve them.

[Sirioja]

News flash for you mother fuck. The ENTIRE world lives with the POTUS until he leaves office.

All they need is some help from the mighty French Army. Why hasn't you tough talking French Leader put boots on the ground yet, to help the Ukrainians?

So stupid and senile Trump makes USA so ridiculous in front of our world, except criminal Netanhyaou, when criminal Putin also makes fun of him.

Don t You need eggs? I love french chickens fresh eggs and Salers cows meat. People who can taste this meat knows what is pleasure. Same like with a beautiful, full natural, sweet GFE woman.

Keep on living in past with your old, so senile stupid shameful leader and his gang.

News flash for you mother fuck. The ENTIRE world lives with the POTUS until he leaves office.

Everybody knows now Russian army is weak, not able to defeat only courageous Ukrainians after more than 3 years.

All they need is some help from the mighty French Army. Why hasn't you tough talking French Leader put boots on the ground yet, to help the Ukrainians?

Emmanuel Macron, the leader of France, has made a notable statement about the country's potential for reform, saying, "I dont believe that France is capable of reform at least not in normal times. Fortunately, we are experiencing exceptional circumstances at the moment. It is a moment in which everything is possible."
