POTUS-DONALD TRUMP-and U.S. Politics catch-all

[TheFrog]

52-48

a great day for lovers of freedom around the world.

The world feels juat a little safer today.

A little bit more hypocrisy... before claiming the moral high ground again. Meh...

I think the Dems have now a moral obligation to pack the court.

[Mr Mike]

I wonder if the Dems win both houses whether they could impeach ACB due to the improper process of her nomination.

Interesting analysis

Nothing surprising tbf. You'd have to be someone like Mick not to get it.

I think Mick gets it.

The strong correlation between support for Trump and pro-autocratic attitudes has been well-understood for some time.

These people (even the ones that rather amusingly claim to be libertarian) have a preference for autocracy and a fear of the wrong autocrat getting in. The likes of Mick and Santa clearly justify their support for Trump by creating a fictional autocratic Left and pretending that only their autocrat can prevent the other autocrat from getting in.

It apparently never occurs to them that there is an alternative to autocracy.

Tbf, I'm not convince that Mick and Santa are really Trump supporters and not just low grade trolls who want to believe they're scoring cool points and winding people up.

I really so hope so, it would be properly sad if they were actually this gullible

Many millions of people are

Over 60,000,000 and no trump is not the orange hitler or satan. Just a lot of rank and file Republican voters as well as the weirdo base trump built up in 2016...

[Short Man Syndrome]

If Trump happens to make a miraculous recovery from an apparently fatal head wound, and lose his right arm and right eye in the same incident, I would not be surprised at all. AT ALL.

It's the rank and file Republicans (including a former president) who refuse to vote for him who I understand. I wish like some others they would vote Democrat to hammer home the point.

Tbf the confirmation of a third(!) conservative justice in four years just a few hours ago could certainly be said to vindicate the hold-your-nose-and-vote-for-whoever's-wearing-the-red-tie voters.

Lots of "ends justifying the means" rationalizations in this day and age, on both sides.

[fonzeee]

I'll be damned if I'm going to go back through this thread but I presume the looming confirmation of ACB has been discussed?

I see Murkowski, who said she wouldn't vote for the confirmation, is going to vote to confirm. Some semantic excuse about disapproving of the process but approving the fitness of the nominee.

How's the family keeping by the way? Worried you haven't shared a few updates on your cousins.

Oh they're doing well, thanks for asking. While some were fretting over emails and "debates" and some sort of popularity contest run amok, they've headed south and are presently soaking up in the sun in Covidville, FL.





We have so much to learn from them.

Biden is unacceptable to some Dems. They will not vote Trump, but will also not support Biden due to his stance on abortion.

Please tell me 2024 will likely have a couple of serious candidates.

Candace v Big Mike

[Derwyn]

I’d imagine Don Jnr is eyeing up the hot seat. And probably Ted Cruz.

Tulsi Gabbard will the Democrats best bet. A candidate that would bring in votes from the centre left and the centre right.

Mr Biden's key message: We will protect a woman's right to choose and fight to keep access to abortion legal.

When was the last time these Dems voted for a Democratic presidential candidate ?

Probably 2016. Almost certainly 2012

4071, repeats some stunning research and mathematics....

There’s some other versions out there.

Brilliant.

Whatever he is up to, I am not clicking any more of his speciality links.

Political Science Quarterly.

A journal of Public and International Affairs, published since 1886 by the Academy of Political Science.

I know, I know. Fake News.

Whatever.

The requested file is available at this link only for 10 minutes.

Still gives this result.

Yes, the requested file was only available at the link for 10 minutes. I'm not sure if you understand how time works, but if that 10 minute period had already expired in the past, then it wasn't going to be any less expired a week later.

However, you could look at the root of the URL and work out the source (even if I hadn't told you the source), and I included the names of the people who contributed to the study. It wouldn't take a genius to work out how to find the information.

Not that you would read it anyway.

Nor would you need to - I posted it for Bimbo to ignore, rather than you, as he was the one who had demanded the information under the mistaken belief that such studies didn't exist.

I am not sure there is anyone on here who takes themselves so seriously as you do.

Homophobia on top of the paedo obsession.

I'm not sure being here is good for your mental health. You might need a little lie-down.

I withdraw "pansy."
I will substitute "boring, dull, prig."

Let's see if Trump gets a bounce on the back of this supreme court appointment.

I'm hoping it gets every Dem out to vote.

And not the guy who was accused of raping a child (who then withdrew the claim after threats from Trump's acolytes), and who has been caught on camera making sexually inappropriate comments about a 10-year old girl and who has actually admitted deliberately walking in on underage girls whilst they are getting changed?

He's fine, right?

I think it is now established that sleepy Joe is up to his eyeballs in corruption.

Christians don't need him now.

Only tolerated a chronic adulterer who gets pissed on both literally and figuratively by Russians to get some Conservatives on the court.

Job done.

It won't make a difference this time. I think the supreme court announcement could get more conservative undecided voters to vote for Trump.

It hasn't really but do carry on.

That smear tactic worked against Hilary last time but don't think people will be fooled twice now that they've gotten to know Donald better.
