American Politics

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2783093]The Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong in this one.

You literally have videotape of Biden as VP, boasting about how he threatened to withhold a billion dollar loan from the US to Ukraine if they didn't fire the prosecutor who was investigating his corrupt son. Within a couple of hours, the prosecutor was gone.

That is open and clear corruption. The fact that he has not been indicted for it shows the level to which the DoJ is now a part of the corrupt globalist swamp.

We all know that if the same footage existed involving President Trump withholding US taxpayer money to force a foreign country to stop investigating one of his sons, it would be all over the fake news media every day and Merrick Garland, Adam Schiff or whichever Washington Jew is currently pulling the strings would have filed charges.

Just like Trump (or any non-RINO republican) would have been indicted for what Crooked Hillary did with her emails. An open and shut case, and she skated because. ? Because she is part of the Globohomo deep state establishment.

Claiming Hunter's corruption is nothing to do with Joe is moronic and ludicrous on its face. Hunter is a druggie dropout imbecile with no discernible skills or talents. Yet he was given high-paying no-work jobs on all kinds of Ukrainian and Chinese companies. Why? For access to his VP father, who altered US policy to fit his son / bagman's interests.

Finally, your foolish comment about Trump not starting any wars makes no sense, even by your own low standards of logic.

Putin took Crimea when Obama was president. For four years, Trump had him under control (as well as Kim Jong-un and the Chinese). Not a peep out of any of them.

Then as soon as Sleepy Joe is fraudulently installed and America is shamefully driven out of Afghanistan by the Taliban, Putin correctly senses weakness and invades Ukraine. Meanwhile Kim restarts his nuke tests, China starts threatening Taiwan, and the Saudis abandon the petrodollar (big news). Well done, Sleepy Joe![/QUOTE]For God's sake, you really need to take your meds and stay on them.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2783351]Donnie didn't ban anybody

Donnie banned flights from mainland China[/QUOTE]So, did he ban anybody or didn't he? Don't think too hard, you'll have a cognitive dissonance-related aneurysm.

[QUOTE=GDreams;2783327]Ahhh TDS Trump Devotion Syndrome clinical symptoms including:

No capacity to reason or for critical thinking.[/QUOTE]And yet no response from you to the fact that Trump banned Chinese from coming to America from China in January 2020, while his democrat opponents were calling him "racist", hugging Chinamen in the streets, and demanding all travel restrictions be lifted.

Clearly, with the full flight schedule that the democrats wanted, the virus would have spread far more quickly in the USA, resulting in more deaths. That is simple, obvious logic.

Try thinking critically about that, and see what happens. In your case, probably nothing more than cross eyes and a nosebleed. But more intelligent people have seen the light.

[QUOTE=GDreams;2783327] I guess the only cure would be to lock them up with the other losers who participated in the capital riots.

In any case, Donnie the Dumbass didn't [B]ban[/B] everybody from China. He didn't ban people flying from Hong Kong or from Macau. He didn't ban Chinese people flying from the US through Europe. He didn't ban US citizens from flying from China to the US.

In fact, SARS-CoV-2 was already present in the US. So what Donnie the Dumbass did was to close one of the two barn doors after all of the horses escaped. Only an idiot would think otherwise.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2783369]So, did he ban anybody or didn't he? Don't think too hard, you'll have a cognitive dissonance-related aneurysm.[/QUOTE]No, Trump did not ban all flights from China and no, his 2020 Dem opponent did not call him "racist" for something he didn't do.

Now, since you, "good point" Tiny and other wingers are so concerned about future studies on certain kinds of mental illness, you will be happy, perhaps extraordinarily inappropriately happy, to learn the kind exhibited by you, detachment from reality, hallucinations, imagining things were done and said that were never done or said, etc has already been fully studied and noted:

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2783347] Yeah, we shouldn't be teaching kids how to exercise their Second Amendment rights. We should be telling them they're trannies and cutting their dicks off. Get your priorities right, conservative bigots! [/QUOTE]Right! And naturally of course, with right-wing conservative parents, it's just a [b]must have[/b] to buy their kids, "kiddy friendly" AR-15 style assault rifles in order to teach them how to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights?

But hey, why stop there with AR-15's, in order to teach the kids? Go big, or go home, right! So let's kick it up a notch and bring on the [b]"John Rambo" [/b]next-level style "kiddy friendly" guns and arms, because for conservatives, it's all or nothing for their kids, when it comes to teaching / exercising their kids 2nd Amendment Rights.

So who better than the willing [B]"death dealers"[/B], who are more than happy to provide that next-level, big machinations of "kiddy friendly" style guns, arms and ammo, to satiate even the most ravenous conservative appetites, when it comes teaching their kids how to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights.

Yep, so much like the alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical companies, the "death dealers" (aka. The gunmakers and arm dealers), are only too happy and willing, to pony-up to get their chance at at the "kiddy-trough" and provide the next big kiddy friendly, [b]"gateway drug"[/b] of choice for kids. Which at the moment, for the "death dealers", seems to be the "kiddy friendly" AR-15 styled assault rifles.

But really, what next-level "kiddy friendly" machinations will the "death dealers" dream up next, you ask?

Well, how about "kiddy friendly" [B]bazookas[/B], "kiddy friendly" [B]C4[/B], "kiddy friendly" [B]Claymores[/B], "kiddy friendly" [B]grenade launchers[/B], or the all new and improved "kiddy friendly" [b]bombers-vest[/b] (for real child soldiers).

Yep, just no end of possibilities, to the "kiddy friendly" guns and arms, when teaching your kids how to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights.

So why indeed, stop at "kiddy friendly" AR-15 style assault rifles?

Unlike you who simply doubles down on the bullshit just like Donnie the Dumbass did.

Please post a source that backs up your assertion that Donnie the Dumbass "banned" [B]all[/B] flights from China. Or post a source that says that Donnie the Dumbass banned all Chinese from entering the US. I will wait patiently since that are absolutely no sources that say that either one of those things happened.

So, since you have no sources, what your contention really means is that Donnie the Dumbass (being the dumbass that he was {and still is} and ignoring the fact that COVID was already in the US) closed one of multiple barn doors after the animals had escaped.

Trump Cult Syndrome. People suffering from TCS can be identified by a slavish devotion to Donnie the Dumbass, by twisting their arguments in such a way as to try to make light of what Donnie the Dumbass did / said / tweeted, by believing every cockamamie conspiracy theory floated by Donnie the Dumbass and / or other TCS sufferers. Finally, TCS sufferers prove by their every post that whomever came up with the following quotation (A. Lincoln, Mark Twain, the Bible or?) was absolutely correct. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt".

That's right, "Next Up", is Death Dealers marketing team and their "kiddy friendly" line of products, to the ravenous conservative families, looking supersize their kids "John Rambo" fantasties.

[QUOTE=Chris P;2783347]Yeah, we shouldn't be teaching kids how to exercise their Second Amendment rights. ... Get your priorities right, conservative bigots![/QUOTE]
So in my made up scenario, here's how the pretend marketing ad at the local gun dealer might happen, w/r a conservative family purchase of next-level "John Rambo" guns and arms, to teach kids how to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights:

- "Hey, so don't forget here at [b]Death Dealers, Guns and Ammo "R" Us[/b], you get a big family discount, when ordering our "kiddy friendly" [u]2nd Amendment special family pack[/u]."

- "That's right folks, that includes a "kiddy friendly" bombers-vest, a 15-piece bucket of grenades, a six (6)-pack of C4, the .223 Remington family pack of bullets and a 500ml bottle of nitroglycerin to wash that all down. It'll be just like ordering from your local fried chicken restaurant, easy as 1,2,3. Ouuu-weeee!"

- "Heck, twice as spicy, gunpowder finger licking good, a bigger bang for your buck and the whole family is sure to have bombastic good ol' time, when teaching those 2nd Amendment Rights and getting those [b]so called vaunted priorities straight.[/b] Yep, guaranteed good fun for the whole darn family."

Ok, don't get bent outta shape, it's all in good fun...just kidding! I know conservative families aren't anything like that...I think?

Anybody remember the 12 year old girl that offed her firearms instructor with an Uzi? As the Secretary of Offense Rumsfeld who conquered I Rock might say "the 2nd is messy" But let's argue about semantics with the resident language experts.

What's the big deal? It's a .22 rifle with a 5 round magazine that looks cool. And it has a special patented "tamper resistant safety", designed so that a kid can't fire the gun unless an adult is around to release the safety.

These guns are not preparing right-wing children to become mass murderers. That's ridiculous. Rather they're preparing them to become right-wing American soldiers, so Democratic Presidents can ship them off to die in foreign countries, just like they've done for the last 100 some odd years. Young men from rural America are disproportionately blown away in wars, while children of elite urban and suburban Democrats sit out wars behind desks and in college.

I would dare say that a right-wing young adult who grew up around hunting rifles has a better chance of surviving combat than one who didn't.
