POLITICAL THREAD

[Dionysus444]

Several million were spent by progressive pro muslim groups on Bowman. Are they not foreign interests as well? And for the record I agree with you that foreign interests have no business involving themselves in our elections. But how do you keep them out when Politicians take every dime offered to them no matter where it comes from?

A minuscule amount. Like I said outspent roughly ten to 1.

Laws. Regulations. Lobbying is just legal bribery. Pay-to-play corruption. Our elections shouldn't be anything like this horrid free-for-all where any organization that wants to can dump millions of shady money into anything. Lobbyists for corporations write the laws themselves that they give to the politicians. None of this is how any of our representative democratic constitutional republic is supposed to work, but we've just let the powerful eat the whole pie one small bite at a time.

Get. Money. Out. Of. Politics.

 

[Marleydogg]

I didn't:

I just pointed out that @DrH. Lecter didn't know enough about any of them to make this claim about Tim Scott:

Fair enough.

Bushrod isn't off the hook, though. 🙂

Dammit, occasionally the sun shines on a dog's asshole.

If he wins the debate, he will for sure be sent to jail by that judge.

If he loses the debate, Biden is well on his way to a 2nd term/the final nail in America's coffin.

America is finished.........or I should say "fundamnetally changed."

 

[DrH. Lecter]

AIPAC spent millions in the most expensive House race in history. Sad to see people celebrating our elections being bought by foreign powers. But that’s what Americans have come to expect from your lot.

LOL. You are not a serious person and I am not one you can gaslight with total nonsense.

Democrats Heavily Outspent GOP in 2020​

Democratic candidates and groups spent $8.4 billion, compared to $5.3 billion for Republicans. Democrats' spending falls to $7 billion when excluding spending by billionaire presidential candidates Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer.

Does it matter that Democrats are raising more money than Republicans?

538 breaks down the latest presidential, Senate and House fundraising reports.

abcnews.go.com

And that's where I want to start, actually. President Joe Biden's campaign and the Democratic National Committee say they raised a combined $90 million in March, while former President Donald Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee say they combined for $66 million. Democrats have an even wider advantage in cash on hand: $192 million to $93 million. But my first question is simple: Does it really matter that Republicans are so far behind in the money race?

Thank you for convicting 45 for BS. It is the only thing that helps us compete with Hollywood and the billionaires in silicon valley and Soros and dark money that funds the Leftist money machine.

The debate one way or the other isn’t going to win or lose an election. It’s June not late October.
It’ll give the media headlines for a week, and then there will be Trumps sentencing, then the conventions start. All this bullshit is headline fodder to continue the nonstop circle jerk of narrative building

That money is being spent to defeat progressives, actual leftists, just like it's being spent to defeat Republicans. Some of it has even been spent to support MAGA candidates as Dems thought they'd have a better chance against them in the general. You're not making the point you think you are.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

You know both Tim Scott and Obama's genetic history? Or are you just wildly speculating about race just for shits and giggles.

I expect this nonsense from you. You argue that there are 50+ genders and refuse to say that a man cannot have a baby...not being a biologist and whatnot.

Obama's mother is lily white. Easily fact checkable. So he is 50% white by definition...and the first clean, articulate mixed guy...a real storybook man.

Kamala Harris...again, easily fact checkable....has slave owner lineage with her Jamaican dad and Indian Mother. She is Jamo-Indian.

Do you consider black guys who are born in Brasil to be African Americans too?

My comment is FACT. Easily provable. Tim Scott having 2 black American born parents is 100% AA and neither Obama or Harris are and no would would make your argument. A mixed race person certainly can choose to be defined as AA if they wish. The fact is with a white mother he is mixed race. Science. Do you hate science?

How Tim Scott rose from poverty to become our only black GOP senator

Despite rising to become the most prominent black elected Republican in the country, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has never forgotten where he came from.

Put down your shovel. If you spend money on a MAGA candidate in order to help a weaker candidate, improving your own odds, it is still spending for your own side's benefit. Stop being an idiot.

See @Marleydogg? Give the race scientists enough rope and they'll inevitably hang themselves.

I obviously disagree. Thx.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

Who was spending all the money on Bowman?

I guess the A in AIPAC is confusing him because he is an Anti-Semite. From the river to the sea as he says must include Americans. Plus losing a fellow communist makes him sad.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

And a man can have a baby....you are too far gone to take seriously. Race scientist...LOL. That is your version of "I am not a biologist."

Not jumping into the middle of the “debate” between you folks, but this reminded me of some updated info about humans now thought to have inhabited North America over 36,000 years ago. Previously thought to have only been 16,000 years ago.

When did humans settle in North America? 20,000 years before we once thought, study says

Common belief was that humans first settled in North America about 16,000 years ago. New research suggests that might not be true.

This must be the one time per year that Dion and I agree upon something. I would go even farther and say that lobbying by anyone that isn't a private citizen should be banned, and zero money or favors should trade hands where it is allowed.

Corporations and pacts are not people.

Yeah the most recent finds have been some really interesting stuff, pushes the dates for human habitation in the Americas waaaay back. That's basically the joke/reference I was making, saying he'd claim 'it wer white people!'

Another interesting tidbit that just came out is comprehensive proof of contact between Polynesian islanders and South/Central Americans from the latest DNA studies. Good piece on it with some talk with the scientists who did the study:

Justice Alito Whacks ASININE SCOTUS Ruling Against Free Speech in Murthy v. Missouri

It’s a bad day for free speech. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the government may continue to pressure Big Tech companies to censor speech it disapproves of, and dissenting Justice Samuel Alito tore the outrageous decision apart.

Btw- (and most of you probably know this)

The Samaritans of the 1st century were those from the northern tribes (the ones that became Israel at the split with Judah and Benjamin) who returned to Samaria from their exile (some of them never left). They worshipped God on a different mountain in a different temple with a separate priesthood. Like the rabbis of Jesus' time they believed they worshipped God the right way, and were basically "excommunicated" from the people and proceedings in Jerusalem. The Judeans didn't consider them neighbors/brothers, even though they, too, were descendants of Jacob.

That is the reason Jesus changed the common parable of the day to include the Samaritan.

Going to pull an @AustinTXCat and search the history for one of the many conversations on Samaritans that've been had here. Here's a doc from just a few years ago very relevant to that history and the current Israeli/Palestinian conflict that's been a hot topic in this thread and our politics at large recently(obviously including Bowman).

This reminds me of the stupidity found in this thread, the ignorance the radical left has foisted upon us in general, preventing substantive discourse in all topics.

The intellectual disparity there was wide, to say the least.

Perfect. Dion does the meme.

'I hate Jesus amd every thought of him, but I'll use him to make a Christian feel guilty about some lefty nonsense.'

He hates Jesus because Jesus was a Jew.

He is a troll. Men can have babies because somewhere in India a genetic freak had vag and a dick and impregnated himself back in 1924. That is the type of dishonesty he practices. So now he hides behind a DNA test before anyone can be deemed Black, unless it involves DEI.

I can’t imagine the VP pick is going to sway voters one way of the other. Though I’ve not looked at polling.

I don't think the pick really matters at all. Trump is gonna be Trump no matter who he picks as VP...even if it is a bad pick.

 

[ukalum1988]

Ha, look who wants to play the numbers game only where it favors them. Israel killing thousands more than Hamas, no big deal, clear outcome based on actions to you. But Arab countries expelling Jews in direct response to the Jews perpetrating the Nakba? Gotta check the numbers! That spiral of sectarian violence was awful, but it wasn't initiated by Muslim people or in any way one-sided.

I mean I know you, personally, are extremely ignorant and had never heard of the Nakba until literally from me, but you should still be able to spot bias that extreme when you see it. Go look up the events of 1948 and the founding of Israel for yourself. Everything that preceded it and everything that followed. Look at right-leaning, centrist, and left-leaning sources. Compare them all. Read testimonies from military members and civilians on all sides. These events are not ancient history; there are many, many direct interviews and volumes of scholarship on the subject. None of them support the absurd revisionist history that twitter propaganda account is spewing.
