POLITICAL THREAD

Were always, at least. Those days are (largely) over. You lost. Stick a fork in it.

NEW: CNN's Zakaria slams Dems for illegal immigration, 'lawfare' against Trump, and 'deeply illiberal' woke culture of censorship.Will they listen?"The first big error was the Biden administration's blindness to the collapse of the immigration system and the chaos at the border.""They missed a massive shift in American public opinion.""The second error was an overzealous misuse of law to punish Trump.""The entire focus on identity has morphed into something deeply illiberal, judging people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character." "Similarly, universities speech codes and cancel culture have become ways that the left censors or restricts the most cherished of liberal ideas, freedom of speech."

It's not possible to overthrwo the government of the United States with a rag tag mob of unarmed losers and sight-seers, goaded into "insurrection" by rabblerousers.

Let's be real. Be honest for once.

It is however possible exploit them and the situation to create a BS political narrative you'd use on a gullible, ignorant and naive electorate in the hopes of ending Trump's political career. Jan 6 is not the one instance the MSNDNC were telling you the truth. They were/are always lying to you. You are alwaysing being gaslit.

Again, what would have happened had Pence just said yes and done it? We have no idea as it’s unprecedented. People would’ve picked sides depending on their position. Both sides would’ve been willing to fight to defend democracy and our country. Who uses force to dislodge who? What happens with the military? Everything is in play at that point.

 

[Dionysus444]

Based on a couple sources, I believe so.

Abhorrent? Hardly. Depends on your perspective. Elon Musk is a risk-taker and shrewd businessman. He now controls an important social media source. Many hate him now.

No, Fareed Zakaria just explained how we’ve gotten to where we are. You should scroll up and watch it.

The DNC ought hire that guy this afternoon.

What does any of that have to do with the content? It’s literally putting feels over reality, the exact thing y’all bitch at liberals for supposedly doing. Who the hell cares how Elon Musk or anyone else feels about being wrong? Being right is what matters. Material reality. Everything else is window dressing bullshit.

The media is the public equivalent of the Seattle Seahawks secondary under BCarroll. Hold and interfere every play, because you know the officials will NOT call you for EVERY infraction. He was accurate, and it was strategic, but it wasn't ethical. Just like modern "journalism."

 

[Girthang]

They are most certainly true.

As I've said before, your only consistency is your intellectual dishonesty. Nothing you posted negates them.

Stefanic needs to stay in Congress. Deep blue state Republicans should stay in place.

Local news just reported Republicans flipped 10 California house districts from Blue to Red during election.

They're counting them so slow. I have no idea. What I saw yesterday was it looked like it was going to be 221.

Ha ha ha ha ha tell that to the media. For that matter, why are you always wrong then?

 

[Bill Cosby]

Again, what would have happened had Pence just said yes and done it?

Probably 4 years of legal battles, gridlock, impeachments. Musk probably wouldn’t have bought X. Probably less inflation, though democrats would have had Congress in big numbers most probably. Maybe no war in Ukraine, so hundreds of thousands less needless deaths. Certainly not a landslide in 2024.

In hindsight, I’m OK with the way it played out given my general sense of optimism for the country at this point in time.

 

[Bill Cosby]

Wow. Abhorrent. Explains how we’ve gotten to where we are, doesn’t it?

Musk is catching skyscraper sized rockets out of the air, pioneering brain implant technology, has hopes of colonizing mars, had pioneered the EV industry (if that’s something you lefties care about), and you’re whining because he chooses to be an optimist?

Guess it’d be better if Musk was a pessimistic lefty living in his moms basement like you.

This shows just one clip of the real Bill Maher, the one who hates conservatives and equates them with the nazi party. He's trash, and I won't ever tune into anything he produces, no matter how hard he tries to suck up to conservatives again. And he will. Anytime it seems like he or his people need help, he will absolutely pucker up, and NO ONE should fall for it. He hates more than half of America. Some libs, but ALL conservatives, and moderate Dems with reasoning skills.

Anyone that calls people nazis, that simply want to defend the rights of citizens, have secure borders, and a stable economy, needs to be deported. Anyone that is THAT HATEFUL and derogatory to over 50% of this country needs to just pack up and move to a place that isn't the USA. If people would just stop encouraging him and his ilk, this irrational bigotry would stop.

I stopped watching any late night shows back in 2015 or 16 when they all went full r'tard about Trump and started with this "nazi" AND "deplorables" garbage. SNL was already bad, but when they refused to do anything but cater to the left, I turned that off as well. Same for any comedian, sports figure, and actor. Turned the news off back during the "mortgage" crisis for the same reason. It's been BS for a very long time and it doesn't look like that will stop.

 

[cole854]

WTF are these house seat ballot counters waiting on? They have one guy at 7-11 counting them in between selling lottery tickets and camel's? Unbelievable.

 

[vhcat70]

If the Arizona Republicans put McCain's daughter up for Senator, she'd probably win. She's very political so it's only a matter of time before she runs. And you, Mr. VH Net, would surely be delighted if she does, and wins. She's a Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, Zelensky Republican, which is precisely your preferred kind.

I don't remember much about her. But, I'd prefer her to a Dimocrat. I presume many closeminded here would prefer the Dimocrat based on your post here. Which would you prefer of the two? Not weasel answer please.

You clearly don't know a dam thing about my preferred kind - like many others who throw those names out there around me.

 

[Girthang]

You blamed inflation in 1980 on Reagan. You idiot.

It's such a freakin joke. Has to be a tard bot, engineered to seem so perfectly stupid that no one could actually believe it could be a bot.

If someone put a "do not enter" sign on any active browser window (at the end of its driveway if it is mobile) with "Obama says" above it, its circuits would fry and we'd never hear from it again.

You blamed inflation in 1980 on Reagan. You idiot.

It was 8.9 percent inflation in 1981 and never dropped below 3.8 percent inflation two years into Reagan's term. It was at 3.9 percent 4 years into his term.
That ain't Carter's economy 4 years in fool.
The current inflation rate is 2.4 percent as a reference. Good luck going much lower than that without a recession.
We will see what Trump does with the thriving economy he inherited.

3.9 inflation 4 years into Reagan's term ain't Carter's fault.
We currently have 2.4 percent inflation.
Good luck going lower than that without a recession. But Trump very well might find a way. Everything he touches turns to sh**.
Hopefully we don't end up with 14 percent unemployment like last time he was in office.
