American Politics

[QUOTE=Spidy;2729316]So, I guess that would be a hard NO to psychiatrist, therapist or medical doctor.[/QUOTE]You should have tried DOOFUS.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2729237]Leftists literally want to erase the flag, anthem, history and heritage of America, and call the other side "America-hating". Pure clownworld.[/QUOTE]Yes, I would count passing a historic bipartisan infrastructure bill, a chip manufacture bill to promote greater USA independence in that critical industry along with more and better USA jobs and the pending Inflation Reduction Act, among dozens of other pro America Dem achievements over the decades over the umpteenth Great Repub Recession, every massive job destruction of the past 100 years and doing nothing but playing golf, diddling their Tweeter, hugging flags, mouthing forgotten anthem lyrics and leading a violent cop-killing insurrection using those flag poles to attack cops to overthrow American democracy while officially branding it "Legitimate Political Discourse" as far, far more telling evidence for which side hates America any day.

[QUOTE=Spidy;2729257] YES, white supremacist agitators, instigators and agent provocateurs started the rioting and killing, during many of the peaceful BLM protesting. [/QUOTE]HAHAHAHA! Congratulations! I didn't think it was possible, but you have officially superseded Eihtooms as the comedy king of the forum. Have mercy on my aching ribs.

[QUOTE=Spidy;2729271]Next you'll be telling us how they did "psychiatry" in Burkina Faso or the Congo. [/QUOTE]Much of "psychiatry" is some weird fantasy made up by a coke-addled jew about fucking his mother or something. There is no empirical test for any of it. It is as scientifically valid as witch doctors in Burkina Faso or the Congo.

In real branches of medicine, there is empirical evidence: you break your arm, the fracture is right there on the X-ray; you get lung cancer, the cancer cells show up on the scan.

There is no brain scan from which one can tell what so-called "psychiatric affliction" a patient has. It's just on the claim of some psychiatrist, with no way to prove it either way. This was abused in the USSR, where political dissidents against the communist tyranny were declared "mentally ill" by "psychiatrists", and locked up indefinitely. Now the communists are in America, and they're using the same tricks. Plus ca change.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2729256]Remember "Peace Through Strength"?

How about growing a pair, shoring up our allies and supporting democracies while farting in the face of the enemies of democracy for nice change after 4 years of a so-called potus publicly licking ass and blowing our adversaries and enemies of democracy while farting in the face of our allies. Oh, and farting in America's face as well.

So Beijing acts out that they, too, might further unite Western democracies and show the world how lousy its military is just like Russia did.

Ohhhh, gee. I hope we never do anything to provoke them into doing that.

Xi isn't as stupid as Putin. And he has gotten quite an education over the past 2-3 months. As has every other wannabe authoritarian dictator. If he wants to watch an even more united Free World flood Taiwan with everything it needs to prevent him from winning any damn thing by stirring up shit instead of continuing to sell his crap to worldwide customers, go for it.

You might want America to hide under a bed and avoid a perfectly legitimate diplomatic and commerce-driven visit by top elected officials in America because Xi is sabre rattling. All the usual good reasons for Pelosi having such a meeting apply here. There are no good reasons to cower from it.

Now that America Is Back, it's time to show the world we are no longer too afraid, too stupid or too paid off by god-knows-who to show it.[/QUOTE]You just repeated one of my points, with way too many words to justify an ego trip, and without answering exactly what else (diplomatically or commercially) did this Pelosi trip achieved. I know why though, because it didn't achieve anything else, and you know it. Grow some balls to accept defeat and learn.

[QUOTE=Gino02;2729047]What exactly was achieved by Pelosi's Taiwan visit, besides stroking her ego, provoking China to invade Taiwan, increasing chances of thousands of innocent Taiwanese people to get killed (similar to what Biden did to the innocent people killed in Ukraine) and increasing chances of moving more money from US Taxpayers to the military industrial complex? [/QUOTE]Tooms is right. We don't cower to dictators and we support our democratic partners abroad. We also have no interest in your unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, whether they be about Covid or wars. Only 11 Republican senators voted against the latest aid package to Ukraine. Of those supporting many like Rick Scott were far more hawkish than Biden so accuse all of them of "killing 1000's of innocents. " If you are concerned about human lives then talk to Trump's boy Vlad who started the aggression and war crimes and can stop whenever he likes. But you aren't concerned about that, you want to push your fringe politics in a matter that shares wide bi-partisan support while pretending that it's all about Biden. Yawns.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2728590]
What are you talking about? Are you claiming that there was "looting and burning" at Jan 6? Provably false, like most of your statements.[/QUOTE]There was at least some lootings as a couple of characters were charged with stealing items from Pelosi's office. Minor stuff though compared to the baseball bats, bear spray, smashing out windows, beating and killing cops, zip ties, gallows for the VP, all aimed to stop an election certification and transfer of power. But you guys are always the victims. We get it as that's the only role you know how to play. Poor pitiful you.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2729228]

Of course, it never works the other way round. No leftist will ever be ruined for lying about a conservative, as can be seen by the endless lies about the Russia hoax. [/QUOTE]Then why did a number of individuals connected to the Trump campaign lie about their links to and meetings with Russian officials? Here's a list of indictments and convictions, several of whom Trump later pardoned. Dismissing all that as a "hoax" insults the intelligence of the American people though some need their intelligence insulted. We do know though that Trump is good at evading personal consequences and creating fall guys.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2728913]The whole point of the post, which was apparently above and beyond your comprehension level, is that no punishment is exacted upon the violent leftist rioters who burned and looted cities...[/QUOTE]When it's all fabrication, lies and nonsense, there is nothing to comprehend.

Perhaps, other than to recognize utter total BS, when I see it. Especially coming from someone who loves to gaslight everything to the left of QAnon politics.

I think you must have me confused with fellow right-wing QAnon ISG conspirator kinfolk, that actually believes your nonsense and gaslighting drivel.

May I suggest pontificating and sermonizing your nonsense all you want, to the "choir" on the right, as I'm sure they'll enjoy your parroting of right-wing media talking-points.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2728913]The FBI and the entire "Justice" Department have become an integral part of the Washington swamp / deep state. They all have to go. And they will, as our civilization crumbles and can no longer support them.[/QUOTE]It hilarious, how you see the corruption, failings, ineptitude and inherent faults of other government departments, but blinded by the even more egregious, toxic, abhorrent and sometimes criminal behavior, that is widespread in the "QAnon Repub House of Sin".

Perhaps first try cleaning the GOP / QOP "house of toxicity", which I assure you, will go along way to stabilizing your Trumpian made "crumbling civilization".

PS: FBI raids Orange Dude's Florida home and Mar-a-Lago, this should be interesting.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2660551]Elvis,

I am predicting that the Democrats will lose zero net seats in the Senate.

Largely because the RNC is inept.[/QUOTE]How is the prediction I made in February turning out?

Wilson, WY — Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who famously started two wars in the Middle East and shot a dude in the face while hunting, now says Donald Trump is the greatest threat America has ever faced.

"Donald Trump is an evil reprobate and a big meanie, and a danger to our Constitutional rights," growled the retired politician who orchestrated the brutal torture of hundreds of detainees who were held without trial. "We must make sure he never gets elected to office again. And also, vote for my daughter, Liz."

Political consultants applauded Liz Cheney for her brilliant move of tapping one of the most hated politicians in history to help boost her political chances. Initial polling indicates her approval has climbed. 0000002 percentage points since Dick Cheney's statement.

"If there's a singular figure universally adored by every hard-working American, it's Dick Cheney," said a spokesperson for the campaign. "We are grateful for his endorsement, and look forward to seeing her represent the citizens of Wyoming."

Trump was quick to respond to Cheney's statement, saying "Poor little Dick Cheney! He's so mad that I got elected president instead of him. Boo hoo! Maybe he should stop shooting dudes in the face! Sorry, Dick!

At publishing time, Liz Cheney's approval dipped again after her Dad accidentally shot another dude in the face.

What a great month this has been so far for America, its economy, the future, law and order and democracy!
