American Politics

You try to emulate the legacy media with their hatred of the American people, you just want to be an evil propagandist for the Davos crowd like they are.

The "worm ate my brain after I ate a dog and dumped a bear carcass in Central Park before I endorsed Trump but didn't really drop out so you can still vote for me and, hey, I might win" guy had fallen from low double digits for a brief moment or two down to low single digits and eventually closer to zero than 5%.

He was already a non entity and non issue. Stein and West could also disappear tomorrow and nobody would think to call the Missing Persons' Bureau until sometime next year.

LOL. I love that, after talking with Trump a minute or two, even lunatic RFK jr realized he could snow that numbskull into awarding him the Secretary of State job in a hypothetical 2nd Trump term by only making it "sound" to a gullible numbskull that he was dropping out and endorsing him AND that he wasn't really dropping out at all.

Lolol. What a freakin' hilarious Clown on Clown crime spree!

Meanwhile, even without the polls that would or could show a Convention Boost for Harris being yet announced, she is already leading Trump in the National Polls for the Head-to-Head and the 5-Way, also in WI, MI, PA. AZ, NV and NC on the 538 Site and the Nate Silver Bulletin, where she is leading Trump in EVERY Battleground Srate except Georgia. And she is only 0. 8 and 0. 5 point away from leading him there.

Did you see the cute Demonstrably Winger move RealClearPolitics pulled? They moved AZ back to the Trump side of their No Toss-Up States EC Map only on the "strength" of a lame Rasmussen poll showing Trump ahead of Harris +2 in the Head-to-Head and +1 in the 5-Way in AZ. LOL. Trying to buy time until a real polling service shows up and cannot be ignored that doesn't pre select its respondents from likely Trump supporters like Rasmussen and HarrisX does. LOL.

So I say go ahead, worm brain dude. Give it your best idiotic anti vaccine conspiracy theory shot!

Oh, and now the 538 Favored To Win page is up and running again with Harris vs Trump, which is slightly different than their regular polling consensus section linked above.

For those who care about the polls, that is. Or used to. Enjoy:

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...tion-forecast/

Chances to win:

Harris = 58 out 100.

Trump = 41 out of 100.

Projected EC Votes:

Harris = 287.

Trump = 251.

Kennedy = 0.

Listen to this speech. It's more noble and truer than anything that was said in Chicago.

They don't censor lies, they only censor the truth! Sound familiar hmmmm hmmm.

Enjoy eternity in HELL.

You're an atheist, right, as I believe you've told us a few times. Well, I was just wondering...do you have an explanation, for the people you tell to enjoy HELL or go HELL, a place atheists don't believe exists?

Or did my last quip about the nuns being a tad bit disappointed, get you to reinvigorate your faith in Christianity? (...kkkk!)

I agree that ups and downs in the Stock Market are not saying much if anything positive or negative about how a president is doing his job. For one example, there could be a steep sell-off in the market exactly the same time that a potus is called out on some perceived blunder. But if that sell-off is only due to the Stock Market having hit multiple all-time closing highs and Christmas time is nigh, well, I would say people are simply raking off some profits to go shopping and buy stuff. Nothing negative about it. And not anything to do with that perceived blunder by the potus.

However, the Stock Market being a forward looking entity where investors are betting on better times ahead and the fact that major Bear Market declines almost always accompany notable Recessions, I would say greater Stock Market gains will be in the mix, historically, along with greater jobs creation, greater GDP Growth, fewer or shallower GDP contraction (recessions) and so on.

Therefore, in that way, better Stock Market performance and results are very likely to be an indication that the policy and stewardship at hand is also doing well and avoiding or averting disaster as much as possible.

Are Republicans or Democrats Better for the Stock Market?

Now, we can look for every nuance and subtlety in those results, Congressional make up, etc as is mentioned in that article as well.

But when you combine that with the 3 X as many jobs created under Dems vs Repubs over the past 100 years, 50 million for Dems to 1 million for Repubs just in the past 35 years (so it is only getting far worse for Repubs over time, not better), that every Depression or Great Recession of the past 100 years started on the Repub potus' watch and often well into his presidency and on and on, it begins to strain credulity to continue to chalk it up to all these extenuating circumstances and that "stuff happens" when extenuating circumstances and stuff happens during Dem potus terms too.

There are simply too many "wild coincidences" and too much "luck" on the side of the Dem potuses and against Repub potuses and for too many decades. Imo, it is long past time we come to the unavoidable conclusion that Dem potuses are making their own good luck while Repub potuses are working very hard to make their own bad luck.

I can just see the proverbial steam coming outta Trumps nostrils, as he finds out, Veep Harris, a women and his staunch rival is not only besting him with 2x and 3x the "crowd size", but is annihilating him in raising record setting campaign donations in the last month, as well.

Kamala Harris has raised nearly $500 million in the past month
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/20/harr...5a150001a0400c

What a blow to his fragile ego, that must really be, that yet another women is besting him, at something Trump and Repubs are supposed to be good at...kkkk!

PS: Won't be long before he blames this latest campaign hit, on JD Vance and takes it outta his ass!

Are an existential threat to Democracy and our Republic.

From 1926 to 2023, we have had a Republican president for 47 years, and a Democratic president for 51 years. The difference in returns between the parties is pretty stark. The average annual return for the S&P 500 index when we had a Republican President was 9.32%. When we had a Democratic President, the S&P 500 average 14.78% per year. Thats a premium of 5.5% per year on average. To put it mildly, this is a really big difference.

Now, we can look for every nuance and subtlety in those results, Congressional make up, etc as is mentioned in that article as well.

Ah, yes, Grisham the woman who wrote a Trump tell all book called "I will take your questions now" while never holding press conferences and raking in a $183,000 government salary. Once the gravy train with Trump was over, she saw there was cash to be made stabbing Trump in the back and making peace with Democrats who in 2019 she called "human scum"...

Stabbing someone in the back is a neat trick, I'm sure she learnt it from Trump. As a fellow Repub, I'm surprised you aren't extremely proud of her handy work at "back stabbing another Repub", as Trump has made a political career out of it.

But why on earth would you as the "Paycheck Superhero", deny anyone who wants to make a salary or paycheck, outside of gov't? Doesn't that go against your creed? Once again, you sound like a hypocrite, and not the "Paycheck Superhero", you claim to be!

As for Pritzker and this DEI bullshit, it is not a good time. The bullshit excuses for the Trump assassination from the SS are getting too hard to stomach. The roof was tilted. It was too hot...the head of the SS resigned ... The last SS scandals ....SS agent who fucked a Colombian woman who did not say she was a hooker...SS agency is in trouble and this crazy female SS agent is caught breaking into a salon to use the bathroom...

Ahhh...is all that crazy talk of SS agents and plots unknown, is you giving up on your Repubs?

But fret not, Repubs will be "back stabbing" more than just Trump, it would seem. As Texas will be "back stabbing" voters and "suspending" (aka. illegally purging) 2 million voters from voting lists, and making them drive miles to the state election office, to validate themselves as voters.

Texas 'voter suspense' list climbs past 2 million as election gears up: report
https://www.rawstory.com/news/register-to-vote-texas/

A real threat to our Democracy is...

Trump! Odious Texas voting "suspension" laws!

Spidy, you are so warped by the MSM that you think a political candidate getting shot was good for Democracy. In your fucked up head, isn't that right? Isn't Trump not being president good for Democracy even if he were shot and killed? It was okay that he was shot though because he was so immoral and unethical right? Jesus.

For someone who celebrated this attempted shooting and "wet-your-pants" with the premature celebration of Trump wining in ROEvember, you sure do sound like someone with case of sour grapes! Or is it buyers remorse over a nominated "weirdo" Veep JD Vance, the "Childless Single Woman Cat Ladies" candidate?

What is next Spidy? You believe the hookers saying you got a 12 inch cock?

This time, you sound like yet another Repub, comparing "crowd sizes" with a Dem! (...kkkk!)

FYI, the Repubs has lost that comparison by 2x and 3x the size and by 7+ million viewers on Day #2 of the DNC! (...kkkk!)

PS: For almost several months now, Elvis 2008, hasn't even been able to tell us, what the hell is the Trump/Vance campaign stands for, is running on, or the policies or plans they are looking to put in place to make the lives of Americans better, other than tax-cuts for the billionaires and ["drill, baby drill".

[FFlintstone69]

Tell us EXACTLY what you know about the hiring of a United States Secret Service special agent candidate and the subsequent training the occurs Federal Law Enforcement Training Center AND James J. Rowley Training Center? I will save you the trouble. You don't know a thing about it. You are just talking out the side of your neck. Because if you did you would understand they a candidate for Special Agent of the United States Secret Service must successfully pass through of the training centers. Then a 1 year on-the-job training program. At least two years of an investigative assignment before being accepted into a protective detail.

Who is going to say that the United States Secret Service agents working that day were not qualified? We have those of lesser intelligence (putting diplomatically) that will say that. But they are only showing their bigotry and ignorance as republicans.

That's just the price change in the index and ignores dividends and thus is not an accurate measure of return.

However, my main point was that the market is not a good measure of how a presidency is doing.

[SubCmdr]

So the whole concept of white privilege does not affect me because I have around black men and women my whole life!

So far from the truth as to make me laugh In no way would you speak to them IRL the way you speak to me and others up in this thread and others in ISG.

The level of disrespect that you show online would have gotten your head knocked clean off long before now in IRL. Which tell me that you are truly nothing more than a keyboard warrior with strong personal opinions and views with a desire to express them.

[EihTooms]

It sure seems like "All the Best People" the very stable genius Donald Trump knows, hired and appointed to collect a taxpayer-funded paycheck turned out to be "hookers" who quickly figured out he is an idiot, dope and a moron and now refuse to endorse him for, well, for any job that I know of.

But definitely not for a second shot at creating an even worse result of his key economic and national security decisions as president than the Trillions of taxpayers dollars he flushed down the shitter on a counterproductive supposedly economic "stimulus" legislation, Trump's Pandemic and its millions of deaths, business and school closures, millions upon millions of jobs destroyed, the collapse of global supply chains, the inflation and skyrocketing costs of rent, food and gas, the historic spikes in violent crime and illegal border crossings and that violent mob of insurrectionists he led into battle on American Soil in his War Against America and American Democracy based on his Big Lie.

Just a few examples:

'Idiot, Dope, Moron': How Trumps aides have insulted the boss.

Full List of Former Donald Trump Officials Refusing to Endorse Him.

https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-f...se-him-1882733

Or maybe most of them are not really "hookers" at all but merely folks telling the truth as they clearly saw, heard and experienced it.

Is a puzzlement.

[Spidy]

So Kamala Harris is the person to vote for who is a good conservative? I just had it out with Viliany when he called himself an economic conservative and yet he endorsed he $10 trillion Covid money printing operation. There is very little difference between borrow and spend Trump and borrow and spend Harris and Biden. Trump can negotiate better deals because he is not burdened by the legacy deals. Biden and Harris cannot cut anything ...

Allow me to debunk the usual Repub poppycock and nonsense on "anything" economic related. Dems have created 50 million jobs since end of the Cold War in 1989. In that same period, Repubs, 1 million. Enuf Said!

Also please see EihTooms' excellent explanation and significance, of this eye watering, jaw dropping, mic-drop and cold hardcore economic FACT, here: http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2939183

... yada, yada, yada

...but you have these white suburban housewives who are voting Democrat out of guilt

... yada, yada, yada

Thank you for your FOXY Muse and QAnon/MAGA talking points and those "suburban kitchen table" issues, that are SO NOT top of mind for Americans!

But fear not, Elvis 2008, I'm sure your "suburban kitchen table" issues are well covered in your newly minted Repub "bible", Project 2025.

So let's see how well Americans resonate with your "culture war issues", I mean "suburban kitchen table issues", at the BALLOT-BOX shall we?
