POLITICAL THREAD

How will they rule ??!

  • YES - Qualified

    Votes: 41 82.0%
  • NO - Disqualified

    Votes: 9 18.0%

  • Total voters
    50
  • Poll closed .
Im 99.99999% sure that in Kentucky my vote for President is worth less than the ballot it's printed on. As such, as tradition dictates, I once again will vote for my dad for President.

Another great reason the electoral college is a sham but continue on.
The EC is a brilliant way in which the Founders were able to create our Republic. They knew that a large city could carry out a tyranny on the rural states by its sheer numbers. We are not a democracy. The POTUS election is 50 individual elections. Why would a POTUS candidate care about Iowa? Just give everything away to California or NY and trample the other states.

So the only SHAM is you lack of knowledge. Public school?
 
My daughter married a Japanese man and now lives in Tokyo.

Asians, especially Japanese, laugh at concepts like "woke" and "DEI". And their immigration policy is pretty simp!y: no Muslims or anyone hinting at being problematic.

If the Dems ever take over and this country falls, Japan is where I'm headed
Don't they tile out the naughty bits in their porno? I thought only conservative MAGA Christians were radical.

Thank you for this canned response.

The only people who should defend the electoral college are in the 5-6 swing states who decide the election. Elsewise, functionally, it merely relieves any leverage from the voter of any other state. There is zero reason for a President to care about your vote.

You're winning.

If you guys haven't read Atlas Shrugged (written in 1959) or seen the movies, NOW is the time. We just had a crowdstrike attack and also parts are falling off jet planes. Atlas Shrugged's ORIGINAL STARTING POINT is where Americans can no longer afford car or air travel and everything is done by rail. And the things going on in the country in the book/movie are scarily similar to what's going on now. Ayn Rand must have had a view into the future somehow.

She sure did. She watched the USSR, Cuba, Eastern Europe in real time

This is comically wrong. The candidate cares about your vote and thus fixes their shitty policies or else. As is getting ready to happen to your boy.

The Founders were brilliant, as we keep being reminded.

I apologize if you do not have a rudimentary understanding of the constitution. I simply want to disabuse you of any misunderstanding you have as to popular vote meaning squat WRT the presidential election.

The allocation of house seats gives a large state all the leverage it needs in the congress. I don't see your ilk complaining of California's outsized influence in the House. Followed by NY. That is the example of what we'd see without the EC system Only NY and CA would have Presidents.
 
And your side and their media cronies have been at it our whole history. This is what always happens in America, the left is held down by the capitalist moneyed interests until it eventually breaks out, at which point that's used as justification for more crackdowns. The cycle continues.

If I'm Trump I refuse to debate Kamala. Just issue a presser that he's not interested in debating the Democrat 'team' and it's not his fault they can't get their shit together. Point out in the presser that the only reason the Dems removed Biden is because they are terrified he will lose.
If it's just the two of them going mano e mano, he'd KA.
 
Random musings (trigger warning)

  • We can't call Trump Hitler any more, but when Hitler survived an assassination attempt he too thought it was divine providence.
  • Are we still gung ho about Democrats causing Trump to be shot when the kid was a Republican researching the DNC and RNC? Is it politically correct to just say the kid was weird AF and crazy?
  • The Secret Service has no excuses. They ****ed up
  • Trump actually seems more presidential after being shot. Perhaps if he sacrifices an appendage a year for the next 4 years Americans other than Republicans will see him as a leader
  • Biden will drop out tomorrow most likely. They need someone other than Kamala and Newsome to win presidency
  • Im all for term limits on the USSC.
  • The GOP is somewhat moving to the right center in Trump's party, which is interesting. Working GOP strategy is keeping abortion at arm's length & heavily pursuing the labor vote. Also abandoning right to work platforms, which is interesting.

Dont @ me
More than term limit for USSC, we need an age limit like 80. Regardless, takes an amendment to do anything.
 
Yeah. I feel the chances of Trump getting back to the Whitehouse sits around 10%. The deep state and libs will stop at nothing to keep him out. And the leaders on our side don't play by the same rules and don't have the balls to stop them.
You're certifiably depressed.

China says hello.
 
I am worried about it. If he was a traditional pub during normal times it would be 100% over. But the corruption that’s being allowed to keep him out is stunning. People have to remember in 2016 nobody expected him to win and so they let their guard down. They’re not doing that again. And the left will allow any form of evil or corruption within our government to take place to stop him. That includes murder. And the left better quit playing with this because it’s the American right that can end this game any time we feel the need to. Eventually something is going to happen there.

I feel Trump needs to win by 6 points give or take
to come in with the voter corruption that’s going to take place. Independents that continue to vote for these leftists are the problem. They couldn’t destroy this country without them.
Second case of depression on here in an hour.
 
It does at the moment but not long term. If something isn't done about the border nothing much matters.
If China nukes us it doesn't matter either.

Take care for your family first. Country afterwards. Family can go on w/o country.

I mean for you, is it God-Country-Family or God-Family-Country or some other order of priorities?

first of all, and I hate getting into this because it’s a fairly stupid topic in the first place, but we don’t pick based off of “a few battleground states”. Every single state has their say. It’s just that some states lean heavy one way or another, meaning they are represented in full spirit but they are much more in agreement in who they choose. It’s not that they’re not important like you’re suggesting. That’s a total lack of context on your part, and a total misunderstanding of the system results. I’d rather not continue because it’s a really stupid argument and can be shown a multitude of ways. No, you’re not smarter than the founders of the greatest country on earth simply because you want an absolute democracy and one party rule. What you want is EXACTLY why they stopped it. So stop, just say you want one party rule and wish they hadn’t stopped the avenues to allow it to happen. Don’t try and twist it to where absolute democracy is actually the correct form, don’t be disingenuous. I don’t think you understand how AD’s are able to ignore the needs of a minority either.

I assume you’ve never had any POLS?

Non-sequitors galore.

We aren't talking about the House, which reflects locality. We are talking about the Electoral College, which removes locality, and predicates presidential power on 5 states.

You could not be more blatant about this being an inside job especially when you see this. Imagine being a defensive coordinator and you're just like 'Let's just keep the safeties on the sideline."
 
A guy that I grew up with worked for the FBI. He was tasked a couple of times to the CIA and for quite a few yrs he was tasked to the Secret Service.......he says that kid shouldn't have been able to get within a mile and a half of that stage with a long gun......much less 150 yards......I ain't saying they planned it but it appears that they didn't do anything in particular to stop it......I want to see what the overseas encrypted accounts this guy had are about......porn sites or foreign banks?
