I have a home in 2 different KY counties and spend time at each. Both went 80% for Trump. I don't know what it is like to be around the hard left constantly.

Not fun at all Sir. There are some good people here BUT the SWAMP is real. Just horrible, horrible people that dwell in it as well. Just the dregs of society. Real vermin... I came here as it worked out for one but my question to myself at the time was, if not me, who? I keep that as my main reason for staying...

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Sure sounds like Iran is big mad that Trump is back in charge... they will be trying to assassinate him for the rest of his life.

Iran is about to be dealt with in 2025. Usa and israel need to wipe them off the face of the earth IMO.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

What?

Liberalism and conservativism are not the same as realism and idealism. There are idealists in every political group. What are we even talking about?

I don't understand this mentality. I feel like many people vote based on a culture of personality and team-based groupthink than actual results. And honestly, I think this is the core problem with American politics today.

It's also why Im independent. I have zero loyalty to suits, bureaucrats or special interests and I have no reason to bend principle for some well-curated ideological marketing scheme divvied up by two parties over generations.

Are you trying to tell me that the left doesn't always talk about solutions from experts? Do you even pay attention? Obama was going to lower the oceans by listening to experts.

She has no reason to be worried about having an abortion unless she's living near a sanctuary city in maybe... say... California, in which case she needn't worry about a ban on abortion because her state is blue through and through, balls and all.

I want to know the name of the jackass that invented the whole "Who's a Bigger Victim?" gameshow these sociopaths are playing. Waking up at noon and wearing the same clothes as yesterday on purpose is not a virtue. There are people that only have the clothes on their backs and couldn't sleep peacefully because they have no home. WHY THE FK would ANYONE reward this skank by going to her show? She's just another of the left's complete narcissists that stepped knee deep in their own sht and found out it DOES in fact REEK.

IF SHE were a TRUE artist, she'd have held up her own bloody head instead of Trump's, but she's only a troll and a parasite without any depth

You realize the inflation we were under started under Trump and the mess he left Biden right?

Really?

It was 1.4% 12 month percent change January 2021.

Inflation was triggered by Covid lockdowns. Politicians will use it for marketing material.....

Economists are predicting in we are in an economic super cycle right now. Whoever won Presidency is going to take credit when the boom unfolds. Good timing for Trump.

And in 8 years, some shit will happen, and the blame will be on whoever inherits the bust.

Truth is, it usually has nothing to do with the President, but good for Trump

The fevered, pipe dream, El Dorado of the Left has always been some answer to Limbaugh on the radio and now it's the Progressive Podcaster. It doesn't exist and will never exist because leftist ideas do not hold up under lengthy discussion, dissection, push back, or the light of day all of which is required for that setting. It only works in a Late Night Show monologue or an SNL skit that with a 10-second sound bite or a 2-minute skit that requires no deep thought or analysis.

Incorrect. Inflation was triggered by horrible policy while in lockdown and beyond. It was 100% triggered by team Biden.


I still love the term “transitory” they used while they kept increasing money supply. Just one of many many many lies.

Please stop pretending to be anything other than the leftist you are.

That's interesting because Covid lockdown began in March of 2020, 7 months before the 2020 election. You might want to check your math there.

America is entering a new 'economic supercycle'

The US economy is entering a bold new era that economists say will feature more inflation, more growth, and more chaos.

There is zero doubt Trump will take credit for this, just as Kamala would've.... And that is politics. Eventually, the political fans will claim Trump triggered an economic boom.

And this same conversation will happen. And this is why politics are still predictable AF

So working on a Travel Plaza project in Missouri. Plot of land that is heavily treed at the moment. Going through all the planning and zoning process and they were told they had to do a "Bat Study" That involves a 2-3 month process of conducting the study, then there will be additional time involved in "Bat mitigation". Quite ridiculous.

Wasn't it much more fun 4 years ago when you were going to throw the my pillow guy in prison? We just need to figure out which one of you guys need to go to prison. Maybe that should be the idealist that we become.

To say, the right believes in experts, about things which you can't really be an expert in, as much as the left does, tells me how foolish you really are. There are experts but Noam Chomsky isn't one of them.

Fine. Let them become the next Aurora. And if they bitch about it down the road, too bad…deal with it. It’s your problem now.

Maybe Trump will also build a wall around Massachusetts. But make sure there's a door for the buses coming from red states.

WTF does any of this have to do with idealism?

Also, when I went to go arrest MyPillow guy, he gave me a solid deal on pillows. We cool now...

Also, Noam Chomsky? WTF

Have to say that over the last 4 years we've bought our fair share of pillows, sheets, towels, etc from MyPillow.

So liberal women are going to start living lifestyles that won’t require abortion on demand?

Amazing concept. Well done. Maybe there is hope for them.

Of course, the above is only true only IF we do enter into sustained growth. If the economy falters, it will be Joe Biden's fault...

So, obviously, if you think this is the only article about this...you don't even know what you're talking about.

And in another sense, it's actually great news. So, now you've resorted to just being annoying....unless you disagree with American prosperity.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Do you know what January 6th, 2025 will signify? It will be just 2 weeks away from 47's inauguration. That is the only importance of January 6th, 2025....unless someone here has a bday or anniversary, for example.

Any of our far left loons who use this date to slam Trump should be banned immediately.

Don't think I saw one anti-Trump J6 commercial. Ever since that day all we heard was how terrible it was...overthrow the government....anti democracy.....etc. Obviously it had no traction whatsoever.

Obama still can't help but shake his head "no" when he's trying to state an affirmative he knows is a lie. Does it in the first few minutes of speaking. Obviously he's not lying enough nor as much as he used to... he's starting to suck at it

 

[SDC888]

BS. Jan 6th wasn't a hoax. It happened. The majority of Americans didn't believe it was enough of a reason to vote Kamala.... but it wasn't a hoax.
Some of y'all are reading waaaay too much into this election.
Kamala was a weak candidate and chained to an unpopular President. The border and economy drove the results.
Over half of my friends/family are Republicans. Some are even elected officials.
They think Trump is an offensive idiot that embarrassed the country on Jan 6th.
But they also think Kamala was an even worse choice for the border, economy and foreign policy dangers in the world.
Most Republicans don't buy all the conspiracy BS and lies. That is still reserved for the extremists who will drive the swing voters back to the Dems if they swing the country too far right.

The narrative around Jan 6 ("insurrection," threat to demorcacy, "coup," "fake" electors) was absolutely 100% unequivocally a hoax.

There is no competent, fair, and objective analysis of that day which doesn't see it for it was - a riot which in no way, shape or form was a threat to the Republic.

Everyone's opinion on this is baked in at this point. Hopefully we have some new sh** to fight over once Trump takes office. 🤣

When we start getting details about 2 failed assassinations, I'm sure there will be time to discuss who is actually a threat to the Republic or not.

Your job is to deconstruct "your" opinion.

For your own good. They lied to you about that just like they did everything else. No one is hurt by that more than you. Thankfully, after the complete drubbing they received in the election, most of them appear to be walking back the hysteria.

I won't be fighting about anything with you. I don't care. The fight is over, and it's won. We don't have to "live" under "your" lie. Tha'ts all I cared about, relaly. Figure out the lie they've fed you and why, for your own good.

That the president’s difficulties came as such a shock was largely the result of how effectively his top aides and the White House on the whole has, for three and a half years, kept him in a cocoon — far away from cameras, questions and more intense public scrutiny.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/02/biden-campaign-debate-inner-circle-00166160

" Biden’s press handlers have pretty much bottled him up since he took the oath of office. He’s done few interviews. Impromptu settings were strictly avoided."

Biden’s Inner Circle Deserves Some Blame Too

Even with perfect delivery, the substance of the performance was not built for victory in our terribly flawed modern political environment.

You’re slipping, komrade. It’s right there on Page one of your handbook. “Filth” & “scum” covers the garbage part…but you forgot to call him an uneducated, deplorable, fascist, racist, misogynist, Nazi, literally worse than Hitler.

Anti-American? OK…let’s talk about anti-American behavior. The DNC completely bypassed this country’s democratic electoral process of letting the people choose a candidate through a primary election when they handpicked Kamala to replace Joe. THAT was the most anti-American thing about the entire 2024 election. And it ain’t even close.

“Of the people, by the people and for the people”.

Those words mean something to the majority of the citizens (regardless of party affiliation) in the greatest country on Earth. Yet the DNC metaphorically pissed on Lincoln’s grave with that move & you just nodded your submissive head & followed their orders like a good little soldier.

Also, I thought you didn’t believe in faith. I would say that you displayed a ton of blind faith in the DNC by letting them cast your vote for you.

You consider yourself intellectually superior to everyone in this thread. Yet, prior to letting the DNC vote for you, you were all set to vote for a man with obvious major cognitive issues so severe that his own party replaced him in the eleventh hour. I don’t care how book smart you are or how many degrees you have on the wall, you supporting/defending/running cover for Biden on page after page on this forum right up until he was forced out of the race is the most ignorant thing about this entire election. Especially since his cognitive decline was visible as early as the 2020 race and progressively got worse.

Mr. Utopian Democratic Socialist Meritocracy, you are the very epitome of what the old KGB used to call a “useful idiot”.

Yeah, Joe's cognitive decline is so much worse than Trump just being Trump. You have the idiot part nailed, but I doubt you're even useful.

I saw what I saw live on tv. The facts are the facts. Just because the people voted for tighter border control and lower inflation doesn't mean Trump didn't incite a riot at the Capitol 4 years ago. He did.
People just don't think it precluded him from office. I disagree, but that's just my opinion.

Nope. Your entire post is either a lie or a display of ignorance. Try again with honesty.
