POLITICAL THREAD

[Sawnee Cat]

KA-BOOM!

Trump tells Russia to get its troops out of Venezuela.

"Russia has to get out," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, where he met with Guaido's wife, Fabiana Rosales.

The U.S. government believes the Russian troops include special forces and cybersecurity personnel.

Asked how he would make Russian forces leave, Trump said: "We'll see. All options are open."

Next comes bitching about threatening the Russians. Sheesh!

The Democrat socialists are not going to like this. Venezuela is their newest pride and joy and a socialist in America does not want anyone to threaten a fellow socialist. The Democrats will come down on the side of the Russians against the Bad Orange Man.

So looking around the internet and talking to people here in the great state of cali. Its clear as day what the new talking point is. The fact that Trump hand picked his AG shouldn't have been allowed. And it doesn't matter what we see from the report, since we know Barr will have to censor some of it because of legal reasons, how will we know he also just won't cut out the things that look bad for Trump as well.

I honestly can't comprehend the mental gymnastics people are doing at the moment.

I had the same discussion with a dude on twitter pretending to be a Kasich supporter. He mentioned “ handpicked Ag” 3 separate times, as if all Presidents don’t handpick the AG.

I said he can be a jerk sometimes. Most of the time I can understand him getting upset or annoyed with some callers.

As far as the smartest guy in the room, more than likely he is. He knows way more than I do and probably you too.

As far as Trump, he IS a Jackass (and I am a Republican). And most of the things Matt disagrees with are usually valid. He does seem to get upset when people have nothing to back their argument and that is some thing that drives me insane as well. And he usually does a good job debating the topic of discussion. Usually he talks me into thinking the way he does with some of his arguments. Not all the time, but that doesn't mean he's a jackass and can't be listened too.

First I am not saying this toward you but I do listen to a lot of sports talk shows about basketball, football, Nascar, etc and it amazes me how often people call in with an opinion about something and by the time they get off the call the host has convinced them to change their mind. In most cases the callers opinion was fair and it is their opinion which they are entitled to have but they change it at the 1st urging of the host that they are wrong. I have never understood how they could have such little conviction about their opinion as to be dissuaded so quickly.

Its crazy how often I have heard that saying over the last 2 days. I went to a family get together with my girlfriends family last night. It felt like I went to a democratic convention. That was the only thing that was being talked about.

All legit quotes I heard last night:
"How can we trust anything that Barr says, he was hand picked by Trump!"
"We will never know what Mueller actually found, because Barr won't ever let it be known"
"How can we just let Trump just hand pick the AG?"

My favorite and I kid you not, someone actually said this:
"Why couldn't we just get 4 more years from Obama. He would never try to get away with hand picking the AG."

Ive said it before, California is a lost cause.

Don't know why cyclist is dehumanizing, but OK.

It's an Australian study.

https://phys.org/news/2019-03-offcyclists-human-drivers.html


Too many Aussie drivers think cyclists are assholes for being cyclists.

It's hard to have empathy for people you think are assholes.

So instead of changing cyclist habits, change the nomenclature.

Time will pass with the new term in place until it is associated with asshole.

So lets move the goalposts, yet again, this football field is getting really long.

President can't appoint his own AG.
Electoral College should be abolished
Stack the SCOTUS
Illegals can vote
Felons can vote
16 year olds can vote
Ballot harvesting is legal

Am I missing anything?
Yeah I am...

Open Borders,
Abolish the 2nd ammendment
Eliminate Farting cows
Free money for deadbeats
Infanticide
No planes....

I got work to do otherwise i'd keep typing. Feel free to add to the list.

I don't like him or dislike him. He is pretty irrelevant to me. The only time I hear him anymore is the Toyota post game show while I'm driving home after home football games. That being said, I have watched Hey Kentucky a few times. I would be surprised if he is smartest guy in the room. He has very limited understanding of most of the political subjects I have heard him discuss. What I mean by that, is he doesn't understand the broader issues outside of the specific thing he is discussing. For example, his understanding of economics and how those factors impact some of his political topics is extremely poor. I used to find myself shocked at how flawed many of his assumptions were as they pertain to economics. Just because someone talks confidently doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.

Most of us are trained well in one or two areas of expertise and may not feel comfortable outside of those areas of expertise. Matt is an attorney. I'm not sure what his undergraduate degree is, but he doesn't seem to have any depth on most things outside of law.

 

[ace on the river]

If Matt was a Republican and praised Trump, these same people bitching wouldn't have a problem with him.

True

 

[kev69]

If he ever does run for political office in Kentucky just think of the 100's of sound bites his opponent will use against him. Remember the Covington Catholic fraud. When that first hit the air he lambasted the poor kid and was as bad as CNN and the rest of the media. He had no facts but since the boy had on a MAGA hat he had to be destroyed and Jones devoted air time to do it. If I lived in Kentucky I would love to hear that sound bite broadcast over the air. Poor Dumb Matt, just parroting untruth like his political party. Complete morons.

He will be held accountable for his idiotic views that are far from a Kentuckian. His liberal education and views will bite him in the ass when he gets in the political arena. I doubt he has the guts to jump in.

This another spot on post. You’re exactly right. He’s a typical loser liberal Socialist.

Republicans 'attack' but she gives 'impassioned defense'

Also, what is with Democrats and the wild hand motions?

Nobody should like this. The last time interfering in another countrys shit turned out well was WW2. What does Venezuela have to do with MAGA?

Donna Brazile and daily their news feed gives more credibility to collusion rather than addressing treason by obama clapper mccain etc...i mean Donna Brazile ? Might as well have don lemon soon fox will be giving credence to white privelege

That is false because I don't like Trumps arrogance either.

Does this mean CNN is turning conservative because they hired the republican girl that worked with Sessions? For all we know, Brazile is being hired to be another Juan Williams to just be another liberal punching bag for their shows.

Like, he was pretending to be a Kasich supporter by being an ignorant never Trump dipshit? Because that's exactly what I'd expect from team Kasich at this point.

Nothing, and for the record I don't want to go near Venezuela. Let them drown in their own sorry socialist state. My point is the Dems will try to make it an issue. The only action I want Trump to take is economic action. And I think that is where this is headed.

 

[AustinTXCat]

and the markets crash as bond rates invert. the question now is if Trump can hold off the recession until after elections?

Stock market often produces strongest returns after yield curve inverts: JPM’s Kolanovic.

Every person I know personally that voted for Kasich is a never Trumper. He made an impression on their brain that can not be removed. Kasich, Bill Kristol and their ilk will spend their entire life hating and trying to discredit Trump. Sad

Do it Rand Paul. Bring him in and chew him up. Just like he tried for the past two years to chew Trump up.

The tiers of justice must be leveled. Hillary obama clapper et all should all be charged with treason it’s that simple , the idea of saying oh my there could be Russian meddling is meaningless when you have people who abused the powers of the federal government for the sole purpose ofoverthrowing a sitting president

What it has to do with MAGA is Russia building up their military there as a forward base.

That would mean being held accountable. Maybe with enough Senators demanding this it could happen. I hope it happens

Oh it doesn't matter. I mean Holder called himself Obama's wingman. People all of a sudden being up in arms because the president hand picked the AG tells me all that I need to know about that person. To me its one of two things.

1: You have absolutely no clue on how the AG has always been picked. The president nominates someone and the Senate votes on that person. If you don't know that basic thing, its clear you don't care too much about politics and just parroting what you think you should say

2: You are so blinded by your bias where even the most non controversial thing like the president selecting an AG is now controversial, its not worth talking to you.

People being up in arms that Trump somehow got away with hand picking the AG is one of the dumber things I have had to listen too.

This is retarded on too many levels.

I would say UK is more like the Ronald Reagan of basketball (class act, respected and destroyed his political opponents in the game of politics).
