POLITICAL THREAD

He lost money based on your perception of what his choices were when it was gifted to him. But you don't take into account the bigger picture. How many taxpaying jobs did he create? How much did he contribute to the economy in all of the places he built. Pretty sure that far and away outweighs the wet finger in the air guesstimate of what his worth would have been if he "lived a simple life". So Forbes say he COULD have had 3 billion versus his 2.5 billion estimated worth. At that point, Isn't that almost a wash? There's no possible way anyone could accurately predict how much he would have made over the course of 40+ years doing one thing versus the other. Way too many variables.

That's half a billion dollars. $500 million. Even over his entire lifetime that's way more than "a simple life". As for the job creation, that's what investments do. That money could've gone to some actually productive, successful people who worked hard to get where they were who would've done much more with it. Instead we got the personal whims of a failson. Or maybe you want to go back to school at Trump University after losing all your money in a Trump casino you got to by flying on Trump Airlines. Oh, you can't because those all went under? I mean really, what kind of 'businessman' loses money in casinos?

You’re never going to get that admission. He’s had one of the biggest sweetheart deals in history. Got to play big shot his entire life for no other reason than who he was born to. He’s the very definition of a failson. A selfish, divisive, narcissist so high on American exceptionalism and his own inflated sense of self-worth that he believes the world is his personal playground. He’s a legit monster. That’s why he gets along so well with Kim and Putin. They’re kindred souls. Assholes in positions of power are what got us into this mess. We need fewer of them, not more.

American exceptionalism? Oh the horror.

I think John Kerry is a human anomoly where his eyes are not centered on his noggin.

[sambowieshin]

But would you use the apparatus of the federal government , namely the FBI, to raid a private individual who did not come into possession of it by theft or any other crime?

If there was a crime why wasn’t OKeefe or PV charged with one?

Not sure honestly. Time will tell I guess.

We need Trump 2024. The entire world needs it.

 

[Lost In FL]

We will see. Like I said....if true, I will be first in line to want to string Biden up. Unlike Trump's cult....I am not a Biden fanboy. He's only been the lesser of two evils for most of us.

B. S.

If a trump child accused trump of the same, youd be all over it. If its true, the dude should be shot. (For either one) But you guys will excuse and celebrate china joe.

Since I have them on ignore, I don't have an answer on this: do plat, sam, or dion ever respond to your pointed questions, or do they just continue to post unrelated nonsense? If the latter, what's the use engaging them?

Comic relief

Oh and "royal tyranny" and we were founded on rebellion against successful people? funny, I thought we were founded on the premise that we were the land of freedom and opportunity. I don't know what kind of Tyranny you think Trump is pushing. I view it as him pushing for saving the American Dream and building a country where more people can be like him and achieve. Quite the opposite of what the Bezos, Gates, Zuckerburg, Soros, and others associated with this World Economic Forum are trying to accomplish. It was no secret that more people achieved millionaire status under Trump than ever before.

Here is the thing about trump, he was the first president to do positive things FOR america and not TO america in 40 years. He wasnt perfect: i could do without his desire to pick fights with has-beens (rosie); his spending; and his covid response. But, creating an atmosphere conducive to businesses was good for a change.

Should be some 25th amendment talk. At least Harris is a competent human being (well compared to Joe she is)

I mean a mental retard being in charge during WW3 can end in nothing but a complete disaster. God help us.

Given the fight going on between the former vice president and presidente harris (his words), you have to wonder if her trip was to make her look even worse than she is.

 

[vhcat70]

You can't at this late date. You stop it before it gets started. For 8 years Obama let Putin rebuild and retool. 8 years of running unchecked lead us to where we are now

I didn't say you could or say that you thought we could. But I still don't know what you think Obama should/could have done 2009-2016. Retool & rebuild what? Please elaborate.

 

[sambowieshin]

Where s that available?

Just read that. Not sure if it is real or not. If so....it is a giant leap to say Biden molested his daughter from those passages.
She mentions showers but didn't say anything happened or how old she was...just questioned appropriateness.
She even questioned herself whether she was molested or not because she couldn't remember anything specific.
If she was....it could have been a neighbor, daycare worker or maybe even not at all. She mentioned one particular house.
Sounds to me like she had a super high sex drive and was trying to figure out why.

It's the beta male aspect of it all that's worse than that.

If you keep chastising him for being such a worthless POS he clearly is, so weak or incompetent and senile, he might just irrationally escalate things to prove he's "tough" and ready to go "toe-to-toe" with Putin.

For starters ... Modernize our nuclear forces instead of pushing it out another 3 years. Rebuild and retool NATO and ither agreements. Other nations are getting used to the US bailing them out. They need to defend themselves. Im sure if i thought about it for 5 minutes, i could come up 5 more. You could too

Edit: i forgot energy policy. When we expanded capability, ut drove prices down and was bankrupting russia (again). If barry opened anwr, started fracking, etc, then this would not have happened today.

Curious ... did you give kavanaugh the benefit of the doubt too? Or are you inconsistent on this issue?

The Soviet union was in dire straits for years and intentionally so to prevent this very thing. Obama let them rebuild and continue to grow even though Putin came to power with overt talk of doing things just like this. Even though they knew the elections were shams.

Instead of doing anything they laughed at Romney from even suggesting they weren't friendly. They even approved him purchasing nuclear material from the US. Of course we know now that's because he was paying Dem politicians tens of millions.

The sanctions should've kept them in shambles and too weak to be a threat until they lost the appetite for leaders like Putin.

not sure but i think i just saw a taco bell ad where an actor grabs food from his friend's plate....55wildcat would cut a b-tch for that.

 

[SDC888]

There's no reason whatsoever the rest of NATO needs to keep leaching off the American taxpayer to fund their defense.

They're rich enough to fund themselves, even with the handicap that is their social welfare states.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Ukraine is a perfect example of how stupid our politics are. the administration is proactively pulling out people that shouldn't be there and telling citizens to gtfo for weeks. And of course Trumpsters are bitching. and if they did neither of those things Trumpsters would be bitching that the administration is leaving Americans behind. And when Russia does take over Ukraine the morons that didn't listen and leave will say Biden left them behind when it was their own damn fault and Fox News will cry about it for a dew days until something better comes along. And its not exactly hard for Americans to leave Ukraine, all they have to do is drive west.
If Biden uses force to ward off Putin Trumpsters will call him a war monger. If he just lets Putin take over the country they will say Biden is a giant pussy.
In reality Ukraine is a lose lose. The country is not worth fighting over. But at the same time if we allow Putin to just roll in and take it over it could set the ball rolling on much bigger problems. The ideal solution would be Putin having a "heart attack" so Russia could maybe stop being an authoritarian autocracy. Previous Presidents also could have stopped being pussies and let Ukraine into NATO.

My guess he is pretty happy right now wherever he went, free crack pipes and all. Also, my guess, that golden box they planted him in, has been melted down and sold.

Harris is just as inept. But she doesn't have dementia. I wouldn't consider her competent for this task.

The diary's real, just like Hunter's laptop. But it's a person's inner musings. Nowhere does she say Biden molested her or implied it. Those pages are a person in pain trying to make sense of themselves and their life, not a game of political Gotcha! There are plenty of legitimate points to criticize Biden on, no need to cook up bogus and disgusting incest allegations. This is way worse than the jokes about Trump and Ivanka that y'all went nuts over.

Yes she did. She said she thinks she was. There is more than one screenshot

 

[vhcat70]

Ukraine is not important.

Sadly, in itself, true.

Now the future impact on what else it makes Putin think he can do is another story with an unknown answer. Does it embolden him to do more or does it make him say I'm done? Something else?

More importantly.....God is watching.
As the Bible and world history proves, when He is not happy/does not approve....and lifts His hand of protection....bad things happen.

Generally, people creating more jobs are creating more wealth for their companies & selves. I mean who's going to invest in ventures losing money? How do you create jobs doing that?

Checking quota boxes for every new alphabet group for high-level govt positions is more important to the current administration, and the left in general, than protecting our country.

No, that’s not a Babylon Bee headline.

So, google is dropping vax mandates as is the UK. What is amazing is even with the tech tyrants and government (but i repeat myself) suppresing information, the truth is still coming out!

I never attacked him. I think it was BS. Its always BS when grown ass adult women wait twenty years to claim rape or sexual assault that supposedly happened to them when they were adults.
Only ones I have sympathy for are the ones that come out years later because it happened to them as minors who didn't really understand fully what happened to them as a child.

It's finally starting to but think about how long it was delayed. This went on for many months more than it should have.

At least it's some movement but still..there should be hell to pay for intentionally covering up the truth for so long
