US Politics Thread

All the fk'n time! The only thing wrong when it comes to this mass insanity is that the count reaches millions of supporters! What can you do?

The other side say the same. I told you before what you can do - stop the name calling and actually listen to each other. People used to do that all the time in politics, until they stupidly became entrenched in divisive “wings”. It’ll get to the point where governments should have to - by law - include representatives of the losing party, as advisers as to what the other many millions of people who would normally get ignored actually want, as well.

Some form of collaboration is the ideal of politics, a country run solely by liberals or conservatives is badly run.

A country run solely by ‘left wing’ or ‘right wing’ is hell…

Are you kidding me? You must not be keeping up w/ how things run in this country! The words "compromise" & "collaboration" became "dirty words" in the Republican party! Dems always spoke of wanting to make agreements w/ the other side, but that all changed w/ the "Contract on America" back in '94! You had their leader, Newt Gingrich demanding total loyalty to the party so much that if you even spoke against them, they'd have them "primaried" out of politics! You saw what happened to Rep. Liz Cheney just b/c she sat on that committee dealing w/ Jan.6th! No one was more conservatve & voted 93% w/ Donald Trump! It did her no good & she was run out of Congress along w/ our own Ill. House member Rep. Adam Kinzinger! This is why I have no patience w/ their party! They don't want to talk! They want to have grievances & talk about how the country's turned into a "garbage dump;" their words not mine's! Being rational does us no good in this country anymore b/c we have a sickness that's infected half the populous & Trump has spread the disease to new heights as we actual have to choose between him and a more qualified candidate! I'm no fan of Harris', but she has to better than him!

^. He does have a sense of humor, but not much. He was joking and being light hearted about a Pennsylvania hero. He’s not that demented. He is now a politician, though, so he is somewhat crazed by definition.

So you say he has a sense of humor, but "not much." We can agree to disagree, but you also don't think he has much of one. And he's "not that demented." Meaning he's kind of demented. Which is not great, and a problem.

The last bit, as to politicians being crazed by definition, I don't agree with. This is a new iteration that comes with Trump. Until Trump, politicians were moderate and cautious. Like it or not. That's being "political." Only Trump has taken the guardrails off of civilized behavior in politics, and some of his MAGA minions follow suit. Is this what you want to see in public discourse? Personally, I don't.

It’s long (a little over an hour), but worth watching, especially given Liz Cheney’s mega-Republican pedigree.

^ "If more of Republicans had done the right thing, the country would not be looking into the edge of the abyss we are right now". Haha, that's brilliant. She literally said what everyone knows, the democrats have left the US and world in the state of shit it is right now...

That's hilarious she's talking about Kamala Harris saying "she listens" haha. She listens alright, to her masters talking to her on her modified earphones, when she's "turning the page" literally on her notes. She can't answer anything that isn't scripted or heavily edited. What an idiot. She can't ever answer a single question, even the most basic ones, it's just "So, I grew up in a middle class family", cackle, mumble, cackle, or "BUT Trump". Can't talk about her own policies 'cos she's so bad, all she can do is slag Trump. It's pathetic. I hope he sues the shit out of them for defamation. The nazis are the democrats censoring everything and trying to end free speech. The irony of it all and the gall of these people and their gullible fanbase lapping it up are even worse.

As for your current president calling 50% of the people he presides over "garbage", what a fucking disgrace.















And these gems again for anyone who forgot that 220 million Americans died 'cos of covid haha. Priceless. What a stupid woman.





The Republicans now have Tulsi Gabbard. Now THERE'S a sharp future female president. The only good democrat is an ex democrat.

 

[Front242]

Dirty bastards showing the rigged results for Pennsylvania before the election is even done. It's clearly over anyway. Despite the bookies having Trump as a huge favourite and him leading in polls, we know they won't let him win as the 300 billion pumped into Ukraine can't all be stopped now.

 

[Front242]

 

[Front242]

Ah, but his supporters are "garbage".

 

[Front242]

All of those voting for the "democrats", you're destroying your country. Bye bye to your free speech. Democracy is a sham and you're not voting for democracy.

 

[Front242]

Haha, imagine voting for this. 1:28 haha. Brilliant.

 

[Front242]

What an absolutely disgusting and despicable person. This was when she was attorney general. You're voting for THIS if you vote blue...



Also, just look at the lying one sided bs the media tell you. They're the enemy of the people. Time to wake the fuck up.

 

[Front242]

Way to go Harris. Getting police to escort christians out of their own church. What a truly horrible person. And yet another laughable put on accent here.

 

[Front242]

Despicable "democrat" scum at CNN up to their usual misinformation bs trying swing voters at the last minute with lies. The only good thing is at least these pos will all be destroyed in the nuclear war they're causing that's coming next year if the prophecies are correct.

 

[Front242]

I hate this bitch so much. Always deflects away from any questions. It's also true. Harris puts on tons of different accents. What an absolute clown show.

 

[Front242]

"Next question please." She knows it's true and deliberately refuses to answer it. The gall of this pos.

 

[Moxie]

Newsflash @Front242: No one watches your spamming videos. We know where you come from. You prefer an authoritarian, right-wing agenda. And you don't vote. What do you think you're accomplishing by posting all of this crap here? That you might sway one vote in the US? Ain't happening.

It’s long (a little over an hour), but worth watching, especially given Liz Cheney’s mega-Republican pedigree.

One of the things that she said, when talking about the vote to certify the election on Jan. 6th, 2020, was how Republicans were beginning to register their protest votes, and one Congressman, who she didn't name, but said was a big Trump supporter, after noting that he would protest the Arizona votes, walked away saying, "The things we do for the Orange Jesus." If that doesn't tell you enough....

This one's just for @Front242, who spent months cataloguing Biden's every misstep, declaring it clear evidence of his unfitness for the job. So, Trump can't open the door of a garbage truck. Fit for the job?

Being a "hypocrite" is just one of the mid'l names of people like this! Trump's graded on a "curve" that no one else fits! It's obscene & disgusting!

"Obscene" and "disgusting" are two of Trump's best numbers. Did you see him blowing a microphone the other night? His mentor was Roy Cohn, he waxed poetic for several minutes over Arnold Palmer's penis a couple of weeks ago, one of his theme songs is "YMCA" by the Village People, and, yet, straight men think he's bringing "masculinity" back to the public discourse. Go figure?! His fans seem to be enamored of the show. I'm just hoping that there are enough judicious people left in this country to believe that this isn't what we want in leadership. Leave the selling of snake oil to TV and TikTok.
