POLITICAL THREAD

How will they rule ??!

  • YES - Qualified

    Votes: 41 82.0%
  • NO - Disqualified

    Votes: 9 18.0%

  • Total voters
    50
  • Poll closed .
The house is now 216 to 208. Republicans are favored in at least four of those remaining 11 seats.

Considering the election, these results are not in line with the remainder of the election. The Republicans need to figure out how to do better in the midterms because they do not want Pelosi and Jeffries putting Trump on trial again. What a waste of resources and time.

The house should have been at least at 230.
In close states, Congress Pub votes trailed Trump's margin which is 4% in popular votes so far. Will wind up less when CA gets done screwing around. It's why Moreno didn't win big, McCormick is squeaking by, & WI & MI, & maybe AZ senate seats were lost. Same differences holding in House. Then there's gerrymandering on both sides that makes it hard to flip any seats. NET, Pubs in general didn't do as good as Trump.

Oh, 2026 will be very tough for Pubs to hold House. They need to get sh!t done now.
 
I was in Turkey for parts of three years. The M1 was my daily carry weapon. They were saving the M-16's for Viet Nam.
That gun is probably one of the longer used weapon systems in the modern times. We used it in some capacity for around 40 years at least and it was still being used in other countries, I believe, until a few years ago. That's like 80+ years total. I'd imagine it would have lasted even longer in the US if not for automatic weapons.

Do you recall seeing these bayonets in Turkey and if so, do you have any idea when these were made? Trying to find information on them.

I'm curious if this was made a while ago or if it is more modern.
 
So the anarchists prefer the "Law and Order" President? OK. Look I get a lot of conservative views. I share many of them. But the dumbass conspiracy theories have got to go.
Stop being willfully ignorant. They prefer anarchy. They are well known to start shit in crowds, to light the match. It is one of their well known tactics.

If Trump is able to take office and they don’t kill him, there’s so much freedom in a second term. You don’t even have to talk to media if you don’t want to. There’s no reason to do so. You don’t have to do anything but actually try to get work done and let the results speak for themselves.
 
Didn’t help with Tucker. If Gut gets canned he’ll just go on to do his own thing like Tucker and Megyn. Fox can shoot themselves in the foot all they want.
Fox is shit. Haven’t watched that in years. Tucker was the only thing I enjoyed on that network and that guy has soooo much freedom now to talk about things that corporate media does not.

Everyone should want to be able to freely talk without the constraints of corporate bullshit. I’d love to see Hollywood and the music industry lose their ability to gatekeep as well.

We weren't issued bayonets. I don't know if the armory even had any. At times we worked with the Turks and I don't recall them having any,but it has been well over 50 years.

Amazing what happens when adults return to the room. From this morning's Wall Street Journal:

"The S&P 500 and Dow industrials both had their best weeks of the year, adding more than 4.6% on the prospect of tax cuts and reduced regulation under a unified Republican government."


LOTS of cash kept on the sidelines due to bad current policy, but even more so horrific proposed policy by Harris.

Now that the threat of a Harris presidency is gone, that cash is being poured into the market like gasoline onto a fire. You’ll see the same thing in business investments as well.

Investors require stability and certainty, and they now have it.
 
That sucks to see a big part of history destroyed when they could have been saved. I heard some people saying they got the M1's in the past for less than half the price as now. We're just lucky to have gotten a chance to save the ones that we did.

Thankfully there were a bunch brought back from overseas in recent years. No telling how many were in to poor of shape to salvage. They sold some stocks cheap that were in very poor shape at a tent sale they were having while I was there. I guess some people buy them and try to restore them.
As for overseas M1 Garands. In 1994 I was in Haiti as a civilian before and during the mission to return Jean Bertrand Aristide to power. The FRAPH - the militia of the cabal that overthrew Aristide —was armed largely with US surplus M1s. I was on the edges of a group of protesters when the FRAPH opened fire on them with M1s, killing several. I also had them pointed at me by TonTon Macoutes (loosely boogeymen) who were clearly juiced on heavy stimulants and just generally terrorizing folks. I’ll just say it is an effective weapon.

Being willfully ignorant is assigning blame on Jan 6th to Antifa when President Trump invited the rally participants and 99.9 percent of rioters were wearing MAGA hats. C'mon man.
It was a clusterfu**....but it was 4 years ago.
It was not enough for Americans to turn away from Trump. They see the current state of the border, crime and economy as more important. That's why he was elected.
 
I most certainly can and will. There is a distinct difference between government policy that fueled inflation (COVID LOCKDOWNS AND FREE GOVERNMENT CHEESE) and intelligent private actors responding to market factors (which I hope includes me).

I want my government doing literally the littlest amount possible. Good luck with making me give a shit otherwise.
I really hope Trump can do something to reduce the size of the Federal Gov. He needs to start by thinning out all the redundances (various agencies doing the same thing) and getting rid of programs that can be done by the private sector.

Biden doesn’t control the price of eggs and milk. There was inflation (caused by trump and Biden’s terms and handing out money) and that inevitably raised prices some. But then there was price gouging which you can’t possibly support but hell maybe you do. Tariffs are going to jump prices even higher. But hey I’m sure the companies will only raise prices enough to cover the costs of tariffs and we can trust them not to gouge us more right? Right?
Harris ran on bringing down grocery prices.

Wait...so you're saying despite the media yelling "DRUMPF IS TEH THREAT TO DEMOCRATHY!!!" most Americans didn't believe them?

Elon already said he's gonna cut $2,000,000,000,000 from the fed budget. That's Trillion with a T.
 
Carville interview. The big takeaway; Carville wants to re-shape the DNC and start "assembling" the new Bill Clinton. The fact that he mentions Andy, and thinks they should hire Mitch to run the DNC tells me that he believes that Andy is the perfect person to be, as I said, "made" into Clinton 2.0

Hey, I have a question.

Kamala ran on removing the income tax on tips.

She's in charge NOW.

Why isn't she fixing that? I bet the GOP would get behind it.

SHE'S ON THE CLOCK!

Kamala sucks ass dude. What’s your point?

As much as the left celebrates Clinton, I've never been sure that he would have been president minus Perot. He may have won in 92 but it would have been much closer.
 
My point is maybe you should choose your battles more wisely. Trump isn't even in office yet and you're moving the goalposts. Commie-la and the Democrats have been in office 4 years and has done jack and shit. So maybe you should put her on blast. Otherwise you're just a partisan hack.

Your argument is missing a key component, which is that I don’t even like Kamala Harris and I’m not a Democrat. Yet you keep doubling down on this narrative. You aren’t even communicating with me but some fairy tale avatar.

That’s called a straw man argument
