Popular Post pomchop Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 I for one miss the days of "no drama Obama".... I hope i live long enough to go one full month without ever having to hear the name trump or listen to him whine over and over about how everyone is out to get him and how life has been on so unfair to him. How can a guy who inherieted more money than most could ever dream of come up with so many things to compalin about? Get real. When was the last time you heard a postive word come out of his mouth other than to praise some maga lapdogs for telling him how wonderful he is or bragging about his golf game or how much women love his 215 lb body. Has trump ever seen a half full glass or are they always half empty in his world? Do his followers really enjoy listening to the same old day after day after day pissing and moaning like a five year old child who didn't get an ice cream cone? Grow the F up. 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hanaguma Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 58 minutes ago, Eric Loh said: I guess his reasons are she is black American, from South Asia and a woman. VP Harris is a trusted partner to the President and worked together well. She fought well for the freedom of women to make decisions about their own bodies and the freedom to live safe from gun violence. She is a strong advocate for clean air and water and spoke out for democracry and freedom to vote. Trump is a intellectual midget compare to VP Harris. You are right in the first sentence. She is a black woman. That was all it took-Biden promised to nominate a black woman back in 2020, and he did. As for the rest, dear God she is awful. "She fought well...." "She is a strong advocate....", what fluff. She is aware that she has been elevated far far above her level of competence- it shows in her constant nervous laughter and the way she speaks. She knows nothing about the economy, immigration, crime, the issues that Americans actually care about.

Popular Post Eric Loh Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 World leaders who have seen the choatic years of Trump's Presidency are too feeling anxious and bracing for the uncomfortable prospect of seeing him again. Allies had never seen any American Presidents past and present like Trump who threatened to rip up treaties and often made bilateral disagreement personal. He rather be friendly to Russia, China and North Korea than US closest allies. Now he made clear his foreign policy will be transactional. Russia can do what they want if allies are delinquent in defence spending and thus encouraging invasions of US closest allies by muderous regimes. South Korea and Taiwan should be anxious too. Trump has threatened to withdraw troops and has blamed Taiwan for taking all US chip business. Trump will be a disaster for the world if he gain office. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nauseus Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 On 5/22/2024 at 7:12 AM, Walker88 said: LOL! Here's some facts: Even before Covid, his 'economic performance' (per GDP change) was in the bottom 30% of all Quarters since the end of WWII. Hardly 'breaking records'. He inherited 4.8% unemployment and a growing economy; he left 6.8% UE, a Recession---and he achieved that disaster by increasing total National Debt by 41% over the first 44 Presidents. Just like his businesses, he was a failure economically. At least in his businesses he had inherited so much money, got so much in allowance from daddy since he was 3, and had his daddy co-sign all his loans, that he could created the appearance of being a success. His leaked tax returns tell an entirely different story. He imposed sanctions on Chinese imports, claiming "China will pay". No, the US Consumer paid. Because China retaliated by changing sourcing on agricultural products to South American nations, he had to hand out $28 billion in relief to US farmers. That's called "Socialism". As for 'wars', he did not end US presence in the Middle East, and the Afghanistan War lasted his entire term. Shortly before he lost the 2020 election, he ordered the release of 5000 Taliban jihadis in Afghanistan. They resumed their takeover of the country and some of those former prisoners now rule the country. He abrogated the JCPOA (only because Obama had achieved it), which immediately put Iran back in the nuke game. Oh, and he ordered the assassination of Qasem Solemani, an Iranian general. Hardly a peacenik was 45. The clown who now whines daily about "UNFAIR" and WEAPONIZATION of justice regularly led chants of "Lock Her Up". Guilty until proven innocent seems to have not been part of his thinking. Biden started no wars, although goobers and the Cult like to attribute Israel-Gaza and Ukraine to Biden, despite the fact Netanyahu tacitly approved Hamas funding (because like Netanyahu, Hamas is against a Two State Solution), and the invasion of Ukraine is purely a result of 45's friend Putin. Biden started no wars and finally accepted reality and got the US out of Afghanistan. Oh, the who is the first President since Herbert Hoover to leave office with fewer Americans employed than when he took office? 45. If you want to blame it on Covid, remind me who said "It's 15 people now, but soon will be 1". Oh, and despite his claim of "like, a really stable genius", it turns out injecting Lysol and sticking a UV light where the sun doesn't shine is not a cure for Covid. Recently, there has been 27 straight months of UE under 4%. That is the first time since the 1960s. Growth as measured by GDP has been the best under Biden since the 1990s under Clinton. The inflation caused by 45 running up $8,400,000,000,000 in new debt, or $25,000 for every man, woman and child in the US, had to be handled by jacking up interest rates. Just 45's debt added another $trillion to the National Debt since 2020, because of the 380 pip raise in rates. And of the few policies 45 actually has should he win again is that he will set interest rate policy, not the Fed, and he will do new tax cuts (as if 'trickle down' actually works). If a 2nd term happens, be ready for a total economic collapse. The guy who declared 6 bankruptcies will do the same to the US. He has floated the idea of refusing to pay foreign holders of USTs. Since the US still needs hundreds of $billions to fund its deficit, reneging on debt service will have foreign money run from USTs, which either sends rates soaring, or else results in a dollar collapse. Tax cuts now will just worsen the deficit situation. Who will be hurt the most by his plans? The very people who support him, which is to say the people who are being obviated by lack of marketable skills, poor education, technological advancement, and the coming AI layoffs. Serves them right. I expect that in a 2nd term for 45, the US will see 20% UE, a collapse of the dollar, Stagflation, and quite possibly a kind of soft Secession of States like California (a State which the US needs far more than CA needs the US), the States of New England, and other States that are net contributors to the Federal budget and who fund the parasitic Red States. I will enjoy some schadenfreude as I watch the Cult suffer. They will get what they wished for in their abject ignorance and easy gullibility....the dumb people's idea of a smart guy, and unsuccessful people's idea of a business genius. There will be some sadness, however, that a country long on the path to greatness was eventually destroyed by a willfully ignorant, vindictive, totally self-serving, pathologically lying, corrupt, conman. It will have proven H. L. Mencken right: "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” Same old boring cut/paste carp. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly looks the worse for wear right now, and kicking the bucket any day is a distinct possibility. I would say 'heaven forbid', but since I don't hold superstitions like deities, I will just let the random Universe do its thing. He has enough sheeple in his cult to take the Electoral College, though he is likely to lose the popular vote for the 3rd time. His sheeple live vicariously through him, as they are largely unsuccessful losers. It doesn't matter that he tried to overthrow the 2020 election, engaged in insurrection, stole classified documents, and was intimately involved in the fake elector scheme. It doesn't matter that before Covid his economic record was mediocre at best, and abysmal after Covid took hold. It doesn't matter that he's a whiny crybaby. He can call Neo Nazis who march and chant "Jews will not replace us" fine people. He can post about a Unified Reich. He can admit he will be a dictator. SO long as his campaign slogan is "I am your retribution", his sheeple feel like they can 'get back' at successful people who have made them feel bad for being such losers. While the guy has some some absolutely absurd things in his life, and been a business failure (save for his inheritance, allowance, daddy co-signer of all his loans, and finally his silly Game Show), these are some things that I know will lead to economic collapse: ---He said he will do another tax cut (which NEVER results in trickle down, just trickle on) and which will additionally decimate the budget, like his last one ---He has said HE, not the Fed, will set interest rate policy. Expect that to be ZIRP again, which will cause inflation and hammer the dollar ---He said on CNBC a few years ago that he would consider defaulting on foreign-owned USTs. Since foreigners and foreign govts still fund a good portion of the US deficit, such talk will send them running and drive up rates (or collapse the dollar if he tries to set i policy) His sheeple will get what they want, and also get what they deserve. I expect the US will see 20% unemployment (exacerbated by AI), Stagflation (negative GDP and maybe 15-25%+ inflation), and a US dollar total collapse. Of course he will blame Obama or Clinton or Mother Teresa or anyone other than the guy solely responsible: him. I will experience schadenfreude watching his sheeple suffer. They will deserve whatever pain life throws at them. They were stupid enough to think a conman clown actually both knew anything and cared they exist (other than to get their vote or sell them some Golden Sneakers). Those of you with brains (sorry, trumpers) have about 6 months to immunize yourself against the coming disaster. Once you do, get your popcorn and watch the cult flail.

Popular Post Hanaguma Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 Walker that is an impressive diatribe. How long did it take you to do that? Hard to refute it all at once, so I'll just hit a few of the most egregious examples. He never called Neo-Nazis "fine people" or "fine people on both sides". That is a lie. He never posted about a Unified Reich. We debunked that yesterday. That is a lie. He never said he wanted to be a dictator. He was just spitballing with a journalist. That is a lie.

It merely talks about ADDITIONAL sanctions, not the ones already in place. The previous ones (including extra ones imposed by Trump) still remained. The US should defend its allies, of course. But the allies also need to defend themselves. NATO members have been shoddy about paying for their own defense for years. Previous presidents let it slip, but not Trump. He put some fear into them, and rightfully so. Imagine the situation today in Ukraine, IF the other NATO countries had started fulfilling their obligations earlier. As I recall, Trump also warned them about being too dependent on Russia for energy, especially natural gas.

Popular Post Walker88 Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 If there is a second term for the convicted fraudster, I think it will be a Golden Age......for organized crime and terrorism. The guy will certainly gut the FBI, DoJ and CIA, so whether it's the traditional Cosa Nostra, the Russian Mafia, Chinese or Vietnamese mafia, or SA druglords, the landscape will be wide open to them, as all competent and semi competent people will either be fired or quit. The same will happen in the foreign-related intel community. Those who know how to go after hostile nations or terrorists will likely leave. Of particular concern to me is that the various jihadi terror groups have spent years sending their best and brightest to US universities, where they studied biochemistry and other fields where their goal is to make extinction-level pathogens. They learned from Covid how quickly things can be spread. Years ago they tested ways to weaponize Smallpox, but were unsuccessful. Now, with the human genome fully understood, plus with the advantage of AI, an extinction-level pathogen is within reach. The jihadis don't care if it kills them, either, as they are convinced they are doing their deity's work and will be rewarded with 72 virgins in paradise. I don't think the clowns who would work in the guy's 2nd Administration will be up to the task. The boat with 'the best people' has long since sailed. The inmates will be running the asylum. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax cuts now will just worsen the deficit situation. Who will be hurt the most by his plans? The very people who support him, which is to say the people who are being obviated by lack of marketable skills, poor education, technological advancement, and the coming AI layoffs. Serves them right. I expect that in a 2nd term for 45, the US will see 20% UE, a collapse of the dollar, Stagflation, and quite possibly a kind of soft Secession of States like California (a State which the US needs far more than CA needs the US), the States of New England, and other States that are net contributors to the Federal budget and who fund the parasitic Red States. I will enjoy some schadenfreude as I watch the Cult suffer. They will get what they wished for in their abject ignorance and easy gullibility....the dumb people's idea of a smart guy, and unsuccessful people's idea of a business genius. There will be some sadness, however, that a country long on the path to greatness was eventually destroyed by a willfully ignorant, vindictive, totally self-serving, pathologically lying, corrupt, conman. It will have proven H. L. Mencken right: "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” Didn't anyone ever teach you about the elevator speech in your professional life...20 seconds max, dude. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to refute it all at once, so I'll just hit a few of the most egregious examples. He never called Neo-Nazis "fine people" or "fine people on both sides". That is a lie. He never posted about a Unified Reich. We debunked that yesterday. That is a lie. He never said he wanted to be a dictator. He was just spitballing with a journalist. That is a lie. As for the rest, too exhausting. Looks like walker 88 got to hanaguma again lol it’s good to see an articulate AMERICAN sticking up for democracy against a foreigner always trying to tear it down! 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VP Harris is a trusted partner to the President and worked together well. She fought well for the freedom of women to make decisions about their own bodies and the freedom to live safe from gun violence. She is a strong advocate for clean air and water and spoke out for democracry and freedom to vote. Trump is a intellectual midget compare to VP Harris. The Howard U Ho is half indian and prosecuted Blacks for lesser crimes to get her job in SF in the 90s, she was the under the table type, just ask willie Brown or his staff Edited May 23 by Expat4life66 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nauseus Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 3 hours ago, Walker88 said: If there is a second term for the convicted fraudster, I think it will be a Golden Age......for organized crime and terrorism. The guy will certainly gut the FBI, DoJ and CIA, so whether it's the traditional Cosa Nostra, the Russian Mafia, Chinese or Vietnamese mafia, or SA druglords, the landscape will be wide open to them, as all competent and semi competent people will either be fired or quit. The same will happen in the foreign-related intel community. Those who know how to go after hostile nations or terrorists will likely leave. Of particular concern to me is that the various jihadi terror groups have spent years sending their best and brightest to US universities, where they studied biochemistry and other fields where their goal is to make extinction-level pathogens. They learned from Covid how quickly things can be spread. Years ago they ful. Now, with the human genome fully understood, plus with the advantage of AI, an extinction-level pathogen is witested ways to weaponize Smallpox, but were unsuccessthin reach. The jihadis don't care if it kills them, either, as they are convinced they are doing their deity's work and will be rewarded with 72 virgins in paradise. I don't think the clowns who would work in the guy's 2nd Administration will be up to the task. The boat with 'the best people' has long since sailed. The inmates will be running the asylum. Biden has already allowed or enabled enough activity that is harmful to the US, via his various actions ...and inactions. Some important Federal agencies, especially those concerned with law and justice, seem to have failed in their responsibilities. Hopefully the "clowns" that survive to serve the next administration (whoever runs it) will be far more professional,honorable and dedicated. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Farage will not stand in UK elections in order to support trump Nigel Farage will not stand for Reform U.K. in Britain’s snap general election — because he’s more focused on Donald Trump. Writing on X, the leading Brexiteer — whose Reform Party wants to take votes from the Tories on the right — said he will “do my bit to help in the campaign, but it is not the right time for me to go any further than that.” https://www.politico.eu/article/nigel-farage-rishi-sunak-uk-election-donald-trump-priority/ Loada cobras. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
