POLITICAL THREAD

[tommyg4uk]

I know what your saying but the media has collapsed. MSM have lost over 50% of the viewership since the election. Advertising money has ran from cable news. The media can't whip up a frenzy like they used to be able to do. Random X accounts have the potential to move the needle more than cnn and msnbc now. Charlie Kirk is planning an event in SD to pressure Thune. People in DC need to stop worrying about what democrats think about them and think about what their own voters think about them.

Maybe if they actually fixed some problems they'd get more votes?? LOL.

Agree and disagree.

Ads will be run on all platforms, not just cable news. And cable news may not be as prevalent, but is still a major factor.

Thune isn’t one to give into Charlie Kirk. He wants to keep the majority in the Senate.

Gaetz just won’t be a popular vote in a lot of these states that are up for Senate. And that does come down to what voters think about them.

And yes, Collins and others aren’t straight party line (don’t like the term RINO, it’s very constituent depending appeal)…but that’s as good as you’re going to get if you want a Republican elected in Maine. Better to have someone who votes with you 70% of the time than 10% of the time.

But like I said earlier, having Tim Scott as NRSC Chair is huge. He is well liked by all, raises a shit load of money (has folks like Larry Ellison in his corner), has helped out a lot of these folks up for re-election, and is extremely savvy behind the scenes.

Going to be interesting. And again, not saying you’re wrong…but there are a lot of nuances.

And McConnell saying there will be no recess appointments is not interfering with that/ not evil - as the poster claimed.

Swampy Mitch is at least half evil.
Beat it Mitch.

I'd prefer this to a recess appointment. Would get to see if it sticks because Dims will sue. If it does, no need to ever have Senate nomination hearings.

 

[vhcat70]

They are new because they were not cast on election night. It doesn't take 2 weeks to get mail from 100 miles away. Your ability to defend outright corruption is amazing. If they are still counting newly found ballots on Christmas, you'd find a way to defend it because you can't admit what is right in front of your face.

You have no idea when they were postmarked & arrived, just making sh!t up as always. How do you know they were
"newly found" vs. just not yet counted(stupid that, I agree)? Your ability to jump to conspiracy is unchallenged.

 

[vhcat70]

Wrong. The president can order the Senate to recess with the approval of the Speaker. once the Senate is in recess for 10 days Trump can appoint anyone he wants.

I'd like to know where that is in the Constitution, please. Thanks.

Oh, you telling lies alright. You just don’t realize it because you’re a smarmy, arrogant asshole.

I had to stop right there. Too many to go through about how MAGA isn’t the majority 😂

And the whiny, little mentally ill liberal has STILL not returned to the thread, LMAO!! I wonder how hard she cried the day after the election? It's been nearly two weeks and she's still tucked away in her "safe place", wrapped in her favorite blanket sucking her thumb. She's probably in her car right now on her way to Bucks County PA. to help them fill out more invalid/illegal ballots, that's the way these types roll; honesty and morals are not something they value, obviously.

I guess she's realized her mouth wrote a check her ass can't cash. She deserves every bit of criticism and flak she gets from here on out, as does every lunatic lib/Dem in the country. The hell with every one of them.

Zero evidence he ever did anything inappropriate with his daughter. She has never come out and said he specifically did anything.

Absolutely false, she wrote about it in her diary, but you already knew that didn't you?

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know he had those. I'll go buy one now. Probably get a few for Christmas gifts too. Awesome.

You didn't go to Blazer. I did. You went to Boyd County, where the rednecks go. Same class as a friend's sister.

Ah, typical Dion here.

Reminds me of some drunken clown I met that queried how I have all my teeth if I'm a kentuckian, I let him know that if said it again, one of us would be missing teeth.

You ever had the snot knocked out your nose, Dion?

Talk like that in public, you will. Little punk commie boy.

See, Dion, when I call you a commie, or Sam a Village Idiot, it's because you have proven it with your writings.

You, assuming aomeone is a redneck based on where they went to high school is absolutely pathetic and weak.

So you oppose Trump:

" I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,"

Trump says media is 'vital' to making America 'great again,' vows to work with 'free, fair and open' press

President-elect Donald Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that he feels he has “an obligation" to the American people to work with the press, even those who had treated him “badly beyond comprehension."

www.foxnews.com

“To work with the press”.

Didn’t read the entire article, just that little snippet. Did he also mention the people who tried to frame him for treason, stole an election, and tried to bankrupt and imprison him?

Translation: Trump makes money off these Bibles so we’ll funnel taxpayer dollars back to him and force Christianity upon kids of all religions. No wonder Oklahoma is 49th in education.

I'm sure you didn't complain when schools forced mutilatory surgery on kids. Or when they force evolution on kids. Or Islam teachings.

 

[AshWilliams]

Not disagreeing with you…but voting to confirm Gaetz is going to be used against every Senator up for re-election in 2026 (whether fair or not)…

NC, IA, OH, NE, ME and potentially Alaska are all going to be hotly contested.

Again, not saying it’s right…but gotta look at it through their POV.

The GOP has to learn to fight like the Democrats. The Democrats don't worry about the next election. They fight for today. They get as much damage in as they can today. They worry about the next election later. And they usually win.

Taking counsel of your fears is something Patton warned against.

 

[Bill Cosby]

When I hear McCarthy was a great fundraiser, I look at all his accomplishments, and it makes clear sense why he was selling out the country. Of course you can raise money when you work for the donors, not the people.

It’s not even about Gaetz per se at this point. Anyone who voted for Garland has no business opposing anyone. Literally, anyone. Anyone who holds personal vendettas against Gaetz or is pissed at him for leading the effort against McCarthy doesn’t have the moral high ground in this.

They supported the AGs who (at best) hamstrung Trump or targeted him as political opposition. Trump has the mandate to select an AG who won’t undermine what the voters put him in office to do.

If Senators oppose Gaetz, fine, but acknowledge it’s due to a personal vendetta and/or not wanting Trump to reform the DOJ. Pretending it’s the moral high ground for these parasites is nauseating.

 

[sambowieshin]

Absolutely false, she wrote about it in her diary, but you already knew that didn't you?

Here's what she actually said in court....
“I am deeply saddened that I even have to write this letter because my personal private journal was stolen and sold for profit,” began Biden. “The point of the theft, I assume, was to be able to peddle grotesque lies by distorting my stream-of-consciousness thoughts."
“I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online. Repeatedly, I hear others grossly misinterpret my once-private writings and lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.”

In her journal she was writing about being in the process of trying to figure out why she was hyper sexual but couldn't even remember a specific molestation event. She NEVER said her dad molested her. Only a brief mention of showering with him as a child....with no reference to age.
Zero evidence presented even from her own private diary.

I wonder if the media will start talking about number 3 now, about those 300,000 plus kids who were trafficked sexually, went through unspeakable hell, so that Biden and the Dems could have an open border they always dreamed of? You know they won't.

Homan is going to be a good one. And Trump won't get credit from those evil people for one child saved.

The paragraph I made the quote from was not limited to the press only. It was global. Yes, the overall article focused on the press, but no mention of it there.

 

[Marleydogg]

Putin and Iran's leaders have been interviewed by American reporters too.
It's good for ratings.

Name one interview of putin by an American 'journalist', besides tucker Carlson?

And you libs howled when he did it 🤣

I want transparency - the ethnics report made public before confirming him. It's a total Dim move to keep that bottled up & expect approval.

Just blame Trump, he'll take it.

Big difference in the media shit talking him, and the corruption and and such from the three letter agencies, and rogue prosecutors.

She was old enough to actively avoid showering if he was around, as she claimed also.

The most corrupt DOJ we’ve ever seen, that created crimes for its political opponents and twisted whatever evidence they could to fit crimes, looked at all the evidence and decided there was no crime they could prosecute Gaetz for. Without a doubt, if they could have prosecuted Gaetz, they would have. Just like Trump. Just like the J6 prisoners. Etc. etc.

So I don’t know what additional information 8-10 House politicians writing a report is going to tell me that the Biden DOJ’s decision not to prosecute doesn’t tell me even clearer.

Good. That will save some time & effort. Most likely the ones threatening to resign make up the majority (if not the entirety) of the ineffective, inefficient dead weight that will be cut out by DOGE eventually anyway.
