Shrewd rules game!!! The only reason the Democrats are having trouble with Trump is because the Republicans choose to ignore his incompetence, improprieties, lack of morals, racism..... (shall I go on?) They're sacred shitless of him. Just imagine Hillary Clinton meeting in private with Putin multiple times with no other U.S. citizen present and no record of the conversation! Imagine Bill Clinton conspiring with the AG like Trump does! He talked with Loretta Lynch for 30 minutes and almost got hung from the airport flagpole. Barr could release the entire Mueller report to the "Gang of Eight" anytime he wants. But he won't as his head is so far up Trump's ass you can't tell where he ends and Trump begins......as Vanity Fair said. Barr didn't even look at the evidence Mueller supplied.
You completely miss the Big Picture. The Duck was a liberal democrat who converted to a Neo-Nazi Libertarian and was elected against the wishes of his own party leaders. He is living proof that any asshole who wants can bullshit their way into becoming president if they have enough money and familiarity with Professional Wrestling and reality TV. Mob rule is not rule of law, no matter how loud the idiots insist it is, and no matter how often they vote for whoever advertises the most.
So 10 more pages of fluff here on HF about the Special report into interferance in the 2016 elections that led to a big fat 0 amount of convictions for inteferring in the 2016 elections
Bingo. That's what I've said for years, Trump is NOT a "republican". He just picked the easiest team to beat first. What I don't get is why so many enlightened people seem to think we were better off with the establishment cronies who have been running our lives for decades. Bernie or Trump, I was ready for ACTUAL change. Not that I think it will happen fast. The democrats and RINOs are still trying to come up with a plan to toss Trump. So far their plans have been as bad as Hillary's. As far as I'm concerned the establishment was asleep at the switch. On both sides. Even if Trump's not the answer, it was good to see the cart get tipped.
Both the workaholic populations of Japan and the white population of the US are collapsing. The Neo-Nazi fascists running the entire Pentagon and CIA are literally working themselves into becoming and extinct species. Of course, their first reaction is to dismiss democratic institutions as unimportant in the age of terrorism, and promise their white voters to stomp on everyone else and provide them with nice fascist jobs so they can become extinct a bit faster. Its essentially the Mafia imploding under their own weight. Republicans began forming their new Mafia when they managed to encourage senior citizens in the US to invest in the stock market half a century ago. Seniors went from one of the poorest groups in the country, to having 70x the wealth of everyone else. Today, republicans are suffering high mortality rates from alcoholism and stress related issues, including just downright stupidity. They've blinded themselves so badly for so long they self-destructing.
I don't think race plays into this to much of a degree. Also, it's a small segment of the seniors in the US who are on easy street. The rest would already be dead if not for family or fraternal bonds. Seniors are the most disposable group in the US. The real shame is that so many of them had absolute faith in the government. To this thread though, what's the next move? The Mueller investigation is yesterday night's pizza, in the fridge, dried out because nobody thought to put it into a plastic bag. But even if they did, it's tainted because they didn't wrap it in waxed paper first!
LOL, look at the statistic before you form an opinion. On the average senior citizens now have 70x the wealth of any other age group. They are sitting at home watching Fox News all day and investing in the stock market, while the republican party is aging so rapidly they will soon have to give out free samples of Gerital. They have destroyed the small towns and small farms all across the country, but subsidized ranching so heavily beef costs as much as some vegetables. They are the largest recipients of healthcare benefits and subsidies and everything else imaginable, while black men are 7x as likely to be thrown in prison, and the entire Libertarian party is composed of Fundamentalists with long standing ties to the Mafia and virtually every member also being a member of the KKK. Either you know who you are fighting for, or you are cannon fodder as far as I am concerned.
Or I don't think the KKK is relevant. You're pointing out that a lot of the money is in the hands of the elderly when this has always been true of the wealthy and in a very small percentage of the overall population. I fail to see how you interpret whatever stat you're relying on with this. Unless you're suggesting that wealthy seniors are not counted with the rest of the 1%. Seems closer to the idea that most criminals have eaten bread within 24 hours of committing a crime. While probably true, what use is such a stat?
No shit. I never said Trump was a Republican, he's an asshole. Unfortunately the Republicans turned out to be assholes as well because they are the ones supporting him.
I didn't believe any of the claims there were published by the media on Donald Trump. I don't like Trump he seems to be a control freak (trying to be nice here). The fact that he mocks the disabled put me off him. The muller report seems to be spot on.
You missed my point again. He was elected against the wishes of the republican party leaders. There is no republican party anymore, there is no one in charge, there are no standards anymore, and any asshole can become president and walk right over the bastards by merely spouting smack and advertising more then the competition. It is now fucking illegal to vote for Mickey Mouse, because Libertarian Paradise means democracy no longer matters, and money and guns are doing all the talking worth listening to. Our glorious leader cut the mass media a deal on rent, because our electoral system is now a three ring circus.
No, I got your point. I know the Republicans didn't want him. I know the Republican Party is now a shame. It's fairly obvious that any idiot can become president. I know he did it by being a con artist. Etc.
I actually feel like Ben Sasse has got a good attitude. So there are some who aren't bad, but it does feel like it's few and far between. I really don't like the current leadership in the GOP. But I'm a democrat.
When nobody shows any preference at the voting booth, both parties are a complete sham, because neither one represents the people. The republican party merely represents the fact that even conservative politics no longer have any meaning to the American people, unless you consider a lynch mob or the Mafia political.
I think that's a dangerous attitude. Nobody ever completely represents "the people" because "the people" is an abstraction consisting of lots of different groups and individuals with different likes, interests and agendas. We're stuck with basically a two party system because of our electoral rules. In my opinion, both parties have flaws, but what the Republicans have become is far worse than flawed. If we keep saying neither party is any good, might as well stay home on election day, we almost guarantee another four years of the Donald, who is becoming more and more like a Mafia capo, and the Republicans more like the mob..
LOL, how the fuck can it be dangerous if nobody ever distinguishes between the two parties? Next you'll be warning me its dangerous to say there's no difference between tap water and bottled water. The idiots have been voting for whoever advertises the most for over twenty years in every fucking election, and nobody seems aware that after gerrymandering the system to death, it hasn't made a damned bit of difference. Americans are frustrated at their failed attempts to buy the best government at Walmart.
If nobody ever distinguishes between the two parties, that would be really dangerous, cuz there are real differences between them and one is more toxic than the other. That so many voters can't distinguish or are so politically uninformed is really dangerous--to our health, safety, welfare and morals.
