Trump rushed off stage after possible assassination attempt
impulse replied to DPat's topic in World News
I'd even order a couple if they had one with Biden sniffing her hair. That would be priceless. And probably worth big bucks on EBay in 20 or 30 years. -
Trump's Covid stimulus was to address millions of workers and businesses thrown out of work by a disaster. Largely caused by gub'ment over-reach. Biden's deceptively named Inflation Reduction Act was socialist engineering of the most pandering type. Designed to buy votes and donations, while re-crafting the entire economy of the USA into a Green, DEI, socialist utopia.

Aftermath of the Trump Assassination Attempt Staring into the Abyss
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Graph those out and tell me what percentage that you're crediting to Biden is actually just recovery from Covid. I've done that in half a dozen previous threads so I'm gonna let someone else do the work this time. Spoiler alert, it doesn't look pretty for Team Biden, in spite of what the MSM claim. Here's a start for you. Job growth. Not 15 million as the MSM claim, more like zero for native born Americans. And around 3 million for foreign born. Here's another. Biden's "historically low unemployment rate": Higher than Trump's, pre-Covid. And they haven't started counting the "newcomers" in the labor pool. When they add 5-10 million newcomers with no skills and no job, enjoying 3 hots and a cot on the taxpayer dime... But, by then they'll be blaming the jump in unemployment on Trump. If you choose your definitions, and carefully choose your weasel words, you can make a stinky pile of dung sound like valuable organic fertilizer. If you really want to singe your eyebrows, look up how many of those "new Biden jobs" are gub'ment jobs and social services (code for "taking care of newcomers"). Let us know what you find. -
You can't shame me. I'm in good company. Only 61% of voters think that Biden won legitimately. As early as December, 2020, 126 congressmen and 18 states agreed with Paxton of Texas that there was enough voting irregularities to delay the confirmation until they could be litigated. Overall, 61% of Americans say Biden did legitimately win enough votes to win the presidency, and 38% believe that he did not. Among registered voters who say they cast a ballot for Trump in 2020, 75% say they have doubts about Biden’s legitimacy. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/03/politics/cnn-poll-republicans-think-2020-election-illegitimate/index.html https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/documents/monmouthpoll_us_062023.pdf/ It's quite possible to run a country where 30% disagree with the majority. But you can't run a legitimate country when 30-38% think the election was stolen. That's a recipe for disaster.

Could that be because the market makers have increased confidence that the Biden clan will be voted out in November? -
FBI choses the fittest, most trained and competent to protect Trump
impulse replied to BobBKK's topic in Political Soapbox
All kidding aside, it will be interesting to see how they cobbled together the team on the ground at the rally. It's coming out now that many of them weren't Secret Service, but DHS employees on loan because other events that day depleted the SS ranks. Including a last minute event called by Dr Jill. I'm not claiming any of that is confirmed, just that it's being investigated. By the Biden FBI, who will no doubt figure out how Trump screwed up to cause this. Or blame the local cops. -
Trump picks J.D. Vance as running mate for VP at Republican convention
impulse replied to webfact's topic in World News
I miss the days when Google was an impartial search engine, before you could pay to get moved to the top, and before their staff got the woke mind virus. If you use Google today, you get "carefully curated" results. And that's not a compliment. -
When you come right down to it, boring is good. I remember the DNC Convention in Chicago in 1968, and Mayor Daley's "shoot to kill" order that summer to deal with the riots. Not all related to the DNC. It was another summer of love and mostly peaceful block burnings. That's going to be the interesting one. And maybe not in a good way.

Of course, you want to make stuff up, spew it and run away like all leftists. I wish I had a baht for every lefty on here that has stomped their little lefty feet and gone home crying that they're not going to respond any more, then they come back and respond. I wish they'd keep their promises. But keeping to their word is a big ask from a Dem. With the 10:1 advantage they have with Dems in journalism vs Repubs in journalism, they should spot us a 5:1 handicap on bona fide links, just to level the playing field. Or at least refrain from using lefty "fact checkers" that are paid shills. And they still go away mad... -
Unveiling the True Cause of High Drug Costs in America
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Good post to bad it’s lost on the resident trolls Makes a great title, and a catchy talking point, but if you dig down to what they actually have planned, there's very little substance. Just a few drugs up front, with the rest pushed back for years, so they can find an excuse to renege on them or blame the next administration. Not to mention, they cancelled some of Trump's programs that reduce the price of insulin to $35 a month. Then they announced the Biden plan to reduce the price of insulin to...drum roll... $35 a month. Please summarize for us, exactly what did Biden reduce, and how many reductions have kicked in so far? Without that information, it's just an election year porkie. -
Alec Baldwin's Manslaughter Case Dismissed by Judge
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I think it would be smarter to mandate prop guns that are modified so they can't accept a full length live round. Eezy Peezy from a gunsmithing standpoint. You'd think OSHA would be all over that after Brandon Lee and this case (and others). But they probably don't want to cheez off their Hollywood overlords/ donors. Maybe they'll finally act now that so many celebrity donors are ditching Biden and donating to the Bad Orange Man. Kind of a punishment for leaving the hive. -
The operative theory among wingnuts on the right is that they're deliberately destroying the country to create conditions where the people beg for the gub'ment to come in, save them, and make all the decisions for them. Forever. In some places like California and Blue cities, we're almost there. NYC and Chicago and Portland, we are there.

I wouldn't, if I were you guys. Douglass Mackey got 7 months in prison for simply passing on this meme. He didn't create it. He just forwarded it. The charge was "Conspiracy Against Rights" https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/social-media-influencer-douglass-mackey-sentenced-after-conviction-election Between you and me, if anyone was stupid enough to believe you could vote by text, they shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway. But that's neither here, nor there. This guy got thrown in prison in 2023 by the Biden DOJ. For forwarding a meme. Talk about a dual system of justice... -
And there's other guys who like to make sure their papers are in order for this year's requirements (which may be different than last year's), and don't mind paying a few bucks for someone else to wait in the queues. Agents have their place and not all of their services are dodgy. I used one (company paid) for the 6 or 7 years I worked in Thailand, and I don't recall them breaking any laws for me. They just saved a lot of my time, and the company didn't mind paying to keep me slaving over my spreadsheets instead of waiting in a queue.

Not a good plan. At least not yet. Even with no specified limit on airside arrivals, there's plenty of stories about guys getting knocked back because of the stamps in their passport. Generally, they were told they they spent too much time in Thailand for the visa they had, or didn't have. I hope it goes back to the olden days before the coup when visa run buses were a great business for all the perpetual tourists that stayed for years on border runs. I lost some good friends when that snapped shut. But I think it's prudent to wait and see what lifting the 2 land run annual limit really means.

Biden Tests Positive for Covid the Final Nail in the Coffin?
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I think a big part of that is the millions of voters that don't want to admit they've been fooled for the past few years. Nobody likes to admit they "fell for it." I'm not going to refer to them as idiots or call them gullible, because the Dems and the MSM have spent $billions to cover up the truth. And they're still doing it. Even a reasonably intelligent liberal would have to go out of their comfort zone to get the counterpoint. -
It's a conditioned response in the days of YouBoob, Instagratification, and wannabe influencers. Just like the idiots who will pull out a smartphone to record a kid drowning rather than look for a rope or long stick to save the kid. Or let a car accident victim bleed out, rather than hold pressure on the spirting wound and risk losing the shot.

Are you forgetting that 100% of women who vote were not aborted? And a lot of them support the right of fetuses to be born like they were...
