That is why in order to move onto MAGA 2.x and beyond, we need crafty, competent people who are less of a shit-on matt by the old guard and more who do actual things that matter/unfuck things.

Absolutely.

DeSantis and his team would have brought competency in spades to the White House. People with no baggage who can play the game to defeat Democrats even when the lawfare and voter fraud deck is stacked against them.

Who is Trump bringing in this time around that is competent? Trump's picks in personal attorneys is abysmal starting with slimeball Michael Cohen, Sidney "Kraken" Powell, and the hot chick who just lost the New York case last week to that nutball Jean Carroll.

We will likely get uber-Rino chick VP's like Kristi Noem or Elise Stefanik as Sarah Palin 2.0. JEB! has a more Conservative record than those 2!

Somehow you magically missed this part:

UkraineIsFucked says

DeSantis...he's a Globohomo Globalist sellout as far as I can tell. As long as he sucks Donor Cock like Neocon Nikki does (he just hides it a lot better), this will always be the case.

"We will likely get uber-Rino chick VP's like Kristi Noem"

I am curious: Is there any strong evidence that shows Kristi Noem is a RINO?

Her weird rambling explanation that made no legal sense (for example, the NCAA cannot ban schools or students for state or college bylaws or laws) for not signing the transban bill after swearing to sign it. Her chief advisor worked for the biggest Hospital Group in Sioux Falls. There was another minor thing but I forgot.

the hot chick who just lost the New York case last week to that nutball Jean Carroll.

That judge was so corrupt that no attorney could have prevailed. It was like trying to win in East German court.

Nobody could have won that case. We don't have a judicial system at this point.

I'm curious about this. I believe damages were awarded by the Jury, not the Judge. I searched for info regarding the composition of the jury to try to find a bias angle but that was not successful. In a civil case is it enough to get a straight plurality of jurors or does it need to be unanimous? The verdict seemed (A) wrong - because it's not defamation if what Trump tweeted can be proven to be a reasonable account of reality - and E. Jean is clearly mentally unstable, and (B) how could you find a full Jury of TDS victims, even in a NY or DC court? Did not Trumps lawyers get a chance to vet the pool?

At any rate, staring down the barrel at over a half billion dollars in unfair judgements right at the kick off of election season is purely coincidence, right?

socal2 says

When our party is filled with retardation

Democrat? Or RINO?

HeadSet says

That judge was so corrupt that no attorney could have prevailed. It was like trying to win in East German court.

We are all going to be here in November saying "The election was so rigged, no Republican could have won!"

We used to say, "no one can defeat DEI, win against the teachers unions, government bureaucracy or big Corporate donors like Disney and Hollywood!"

Too bad the only Republican candidate with a massive history of Conservative victories is deemed a "Global-homo sell out" by the retard autistics in our party......

Honestly hope I am wrong, but tired of losing and tired of the excuses.

The notion that the judicial system is completely "rigged" is a weird one. If it was, Rittenhouose would rot in prison now, yet he doesn't. There are bad apples among judges and there are good apples. Judge Benitez of the "California freedom week" fame is a good one. Judge who presided over Rittenhouse case is definitely one of the good apples too. And quality of defense lawyers does make difference and not everyone who loses his case does it because of "woke jury" - sometimes it's because their lawyers suck hairy monkey balls. So automatically dropping into a fetal position and proclaiming that "can't win anything - the system is rigged" is just losertalk.

Juries are purposely picked to be easy. It's not a random selection of people in society.

Derek Chauvin was innocent, he didn't kill George Floyd. There's video proof of this. The entire arrest was recorded on bodycam. You can watch it, still they convicted him. That's our "judicial system".

stfu says

The entire pool was corrupt.

Eric Holder says

The notion that the judicial system is completely "rigged" is a weird one. If it was, Rittenhouose would rot in prison now, yet he doesn't.

He almost did. FIB with-held high resolution video of the entire incident. They initially sent an 360p video that they transcoded to reduce resolution. They won't release the January 6th videos because it was entrapment. It didn't help Derek Chauvin to have a bodycam proving his innocent.

More clown-show drama by Trump's legal team.

Can anyone in the MAGA universe play this game?

"Trump's lawyer Alina Habba says, in short, that she was just asking questions about the New York Post article.

After Carroll's lawyer rejected it—and threatened to seek sanctions—Habba says the matter seems "resolved.""

When I ask my kid if the homework is done and he answers "almost" I say "it means it's not done".

As an adult I assume you already know the difference between "did" and "almost did". Hint: they are two opposite things.

There's a reason Trump was charged whenever possible in the darkest blue areas. Those juries would convict Trump no matter what.

DeSantis wins as judge dismisses Disney's lawsuit against him
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68157268

I like guys that actually win the fights they pick and don't walk into their political opponent's lawfare traps.

Meanwhile, here is our presumptive nominee sounding no different than AOC or Adam Schiff and siding with the Disney pedos. Is it just terrible instincts, or is Trump really beholden to his donors like he is with Bud Light?

Eric Holder says

When I ask my kid if the homework is done and he answers "almost" I say "it means it's not done".

WTF?

You were saying that the fact the Rittenhouse wasn't in prison was proof our judicial system isn't fucking totally corrupt here

Yes it is.



Or that crackhead motherfucker would be in prison just like anybody else would be. This piece of shit was getting teenage prostitutes, and he's selling bullshit art so his father can accept bribes. Totally untouchable.

We have several hundred political prisoners in jail for protesting what they thought was a stolen election, and probably was. Don't argue with me dishonestly, don't waste my time saying water is dry, and dirt is edible. Shut the fuck up if all you can do is lie. Don't talk to me.

Here's Trump back doing the bidding of his woke donors. Anheuser-Busch is not even a full American company being owned by a Belgian conglomerate.

The most successful Conservative boycott in our history and of course Trump and his MAGA grifters are siding with the trannies. Just like Trump and his grifter minions were on the wrong side of the Disney/DeSantis spat.

If by some miracle Trump is elected - he is going to govern more left wing than Arnold Schwarzenegger.

You'll want that miracle. Even if it's not the best. The choice is over for now. Trump is the nominee.

I didn't like the whole Bud Light thing. It's fucking trivial though. We're sending billions to foreign nations that do NOTHING for us. I like your points but we need to focus on us. Not Ukraine. Not Isreal. Not Russia. None of those places could meaningfully attack us and what would be the reason?

We need to get this hemisphere in order and we'll be a juggernaut for a century. Who cares about beer and gays. The more attention you give, the more that pop out of the clown closet.

WookieMan says

You'll want that miracle. Even if it's not the best. The choice is over for now. Trump is the nominee.

The fucker is already tacking to the Left on social issues and trying to appease his few remaining donors and he isn't even in the General election yet. Then I get to hear all of his obnoxious MAGA sycophants going on about how people like DeSantis were sECret LiBEraL gLObaLists and Trump is the one true Conservative.

Fuck that noise. If I am going to hold my nose and vote for the lesser of 2 evils, I sure as shit will criticize Trump and his followers when they deserve it.

WookieMan says

That's country club Republican talk.

Politics is downstream of Culture.

You should see all the tranny, LGBT and BLM shit my kids have to endure at school and then we wonder why half the country are utterly retarded voting for Democrats.

Move. That shit doesn't happen by me. Or get involved. Be the ass hole. It works. It's worked for Dems since I was born. Do the same as them. I'm physically bigger than most, but I'll chew your fucking head off if you're doing wrong by me. Get elected yourself.

This is what Republicans do. They bitch and moan and do nothing. Dislike Trump he's done more for your cause since Reagan if not even better. Covid was fake in an election year and Trump had to react. It was unfortunate. His attacks are almost 100% logical. I've called my SIL's and MIL cunts. Because they were. I don't care about personality. Biden cannot function. Desantis was a dead pony. He doesn't have it and won't. Vivek will torch his ass with 3-4 more years of experience.

Trump needs to and I think will take out the trash this time. Desantis wouldn't have. He'd be trying for another term and playing it safe. We need a lame duck right now. Halft the god damn world is bombing each other. That's working.... We don't need a softie that's trying to get re-elected.

Trump isn't going to take out the trash. He will be tied up with the lawfare and will be busy trying to cut "Big Bipartisan DEALS" with Democrats to burnish his reputation in the 4 short years he has in office. Look at what Trump is ALREADY doing with Disney, Bud Light and saying nice things about Gavin and Hillary. He needs every donor and ally he can get.

Face it, Trump is not an ideological Conservative. He doesn't care about the culture. Trump is Mike Bloomberg New York Liberal but way better on the border. That is enough to get my vote and better than any Democrat. But damn, we could have WON and had it all with DeSantis.

DeSantis has a proven history of picking risky fights and WINNING. I'm tired of losing and tired of hearing MAGA excuses already trying to lower the bar this November claiming it is impossible to win due to voter fraud.

The TDS isn't as strong this time around. The bread and butter issues are coming home to roost and even reflexive Blue State libs cooling to Xiden. Whereas elements of the Dem Base, esp. Blacks, are getting turned off by the wave of illegals stealing what they think should be their attention and taxdollars.

Rumor is some sizeable RNC Donors - not the biggest ones but many of the secondary tier donors - are royally pissed at Ronna McRomney for blowing cash on floral arrangements and limo rides.

I think some Old Fart GOP Taxcuts, Military Contracts, Cheap Labor and Money, and Give-In On Everything Else types are slowly realizing it has to be Trump, if just to make sure there aren't more leftist nutcases appointed when the Recession hits this year in full.

socal2 says

. Look at what Trump is ALREADY doing with Disney, Bud Light and saying nice things about Gavin and Hillary. He needs every donor and ally he can get.

You do know politics, right? Desantis would do the same. He licked his wounds and got out unlike Haley. Wise decision. It wasn't Desantis time right now. He saved his political future. Which is what we need. Trump is the most logical even though I know you don't like it. Cheating won't be an option this time. There will be nut head right wingers sitting there watching the ballots.

The key being they come out in urban vicinities/polling places and take action. It's going to be a fun November either way and shitty 2024 as a whole.

WookieMan says

You do know politics, right? Desantis would do the same.

But DeSantis didn't do the same thing when given the opportunity.

DeSantis stood up to Trump and the woke LGBTQ mafia when all of the country club Rinos and MAGA grifters were all saying that DeSantis was going to get walloped by Disney.

DeSantis also stood up to Trump and Fauci during the Covid debacle.

WookieMan says

Cheating won't be an option this time. There will be nut head right wingers sitting there watching the ballots.

Someone tell all the Trump supporters online and here at Patnet. Many have already been making excuses about it being impossible to win elections if/when Trump turns into a 2 time loser against Biden or whoever the Democrats run in November.

The same cheat that would defeat Trump would be used on DeSantis. As I have mentioned before, I predict the mechanism will be to "dominion" enough actual votes for Trump/Desantis over to RFK so that Biden wins in a plurality. Even then they will have to manufacture votes for Biden to get him to 40% or so.

teflon don.

it was his watch and he cheer led for this. he was not reluctant. he was crowing.




nor did he support “leaving it to the states.”




he is not repentant. he still claims this was a success and plays “the hero” for having sold us down the river and upended our lives and livelihoods. he brags about it. ...

there’s no question that biden made it far worse, impeded recovery, and engaged in all new manner of assaults on liberty, but like FDR after hoover, he was not the one who got the ball rolling, he just accelerated one already on the move.

these choices killed an incredible number of people.

Patrick says

And Trump was too cowardly to debate people like DeSantis during the primaries because he knows he would have gotten his clock cleaned on the COVID debate. Same deal with Trump helping to empty our prisons creating the massive crime wave we have seen in recent years.

But never worry, the MAGA online grifters are more than happy to change their tune on COVID to defend Trump just like they all turned on a dime to defend Bud Light, Disney and Tik Tok.........

Whatever is in Trump's financial or personal interests will be the new "cause" for MAGA.

I think DeSantis would have been much better based on the history of his actions and would not roll over (like Trump has repeatedly) on the important cultural issues.

But all the former online Liberals who are now MAGA grifters and influencers told us all that "Meatball Ron" was just another JEB! Global-homo who is bought and paid for by his big donors. So we were told we had to stick with a guy like Trump who supposedly couldn't be bought.

Well - that is clearly not the case.

Based on the actions of these two, I like DeSantis' donors much better than Trump's.

Trump would have steam rolled him. Vivek, some Indian American guy made him and others look like fools. He upended the entire RNC. I don't give a fuck about Disney and what Desantis supposedly did. Disney shot itself in the foot, they didn't need Ron's help doing it. So i'm confused by that logic.

To win you need national presence. Desantis is no different than Gavin Newsom. Neither could win the midwest, that's for sure. Neither could win swing states. Trump is already smashing Biden in the polling. Desantis will have his time potentially. Now is not it. Trump will win. Ron did the right thing and stepped out and saved face after Iowa. Nikki Haley was a dip shit. Her future is toast outside of being a commentator for some network.

Be happy he lost. He's not ready. Trump barely campaigned and torched everyone. Vivek is probably your biggest worry if you like Desantis.

DeSantis is an ex JAG lawyer that worked at Guantanamo and helped cover up the torture program from that. No information was gained from that, it was just to set a precedent to torture Americans.

There ARE no important cultural issues. They are all fake. OK, so there's the MINOR inconvenience that you have to check a bathroom for your daughter or have your wife do it now, I bet you've never met a transgender before, I doubt your kids deal with the gay flags in the classroom either. That's the big "controversy" that's consuming the national debate. Like gay wedding cakes once did.

They are most likely correct. Jeb Bush had a "humble foreign policy" BEFORE he was elected. Forget about that?

He sounds reasonable! If he had actually done that, I would have probably not been impressed with him, but I wouldn't think the mother fucker should be hung from a lamp post, as he should be. That mother fucker put us on a 20 year course of endless war. I hope he burns in Hell.

Look, at this point I'd vote for anybody on this board over any asshole the propaganda box has ever said anything nice about. There's people I STRONGLY disagree with here, but they couldn't be worse than another of the sociopathic assholes that have been made president in my adult lifetime except for Trump.

The most important thing is to change is foreign policy, that's what is destroying this country as we argue about trivial bullshit like if some asshole with balls can use the woman's bathroom, because they are like 0.001% of the population and this is worthy of your notice. You remember how you had all these Karen frauds claiming they knew LOTS OF PEOPLE that died of the Rona? They were full of shit, they were confusing what they saw on TeeeVeeee with actual life.

The REASON we have these BULLSHIT culture issues is just to get the dumb fucking cows and sheep arguing about something 99.99% of the country doesn't deal with, and really doesn't fucking care about. That was the "abortion issue". Roe v. Wade is done, what's changed about abortion? We stopped arguing about it. Doesn't matter what you THINK about it, because you don't really think about it at all, you FEEL about it and when emotion is involved, the brain leaves the door.

You know that stupid song "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who? I took that to heart about the Vietnam war. So far it's been Geneva, Desert Storm, Bosnia, Aghanistan, Iraq II, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Ukraine, and it's ALWAYS been Israel, constantly Israel. Our most precious possession of unending headaches made by a mere 10 million assholes. But what about Gender Queer - the book? I have the book in electronic format, the dumb author posted it on their website page by page, and I scraped it. Want a copy? I got through a few pages, but trust me, no kid is going to read that, other than to turn to the page where you see a girl with a dildo strapped on getting a "blowjob" of her dildo.

We'll get fooled again, and again, and again, and again, and again, until the nation implodes.

Wow - I personally think Cultural and Domestic issue are 1000X more important than foreign policy.

I am willing to bet that you are not married and have not raised any children. You also live in the Bay Area which is ground zero for this retardation.

My kids deal with Leftist indoctrination in their schools almost every single day. Each of my kids say they personally know at least 3 people in their grade that identify as transgender and are amazed they are allowed to use whatever bathrooms they want and allowed to compete in sports. We also let social media companies like Tik Tok totally propagandize our children into LGBTQ and Open Border Liberals and people like Trump are too busy collecting money from their big donors to even engage in this important battle.

There is nothing more important to the foundation of our civilization and CULTURE than stable marriages and 2 parent households to raise children. We let gays get "married" and continue to watch the institution of marriage get watered down where nearly 50% of new babies in the US are born to single mothers and guaranteed poverty. There is no government welfare system or afterschool program that can make up for millions of absent fathers. Yet here we are churning out new government dependents every single day because Trump and some MAGA republicans don't want to make icky Cultural criticisms.

socal2 says

That's the purpose of Cultural and Domestic issues. To keep you distracted on trivial issues. The actual issue is that our government is just a group of criminals that purposely create problems for the SOLE REASON that it's something you feel you have to worry about. That's why they don't enforce the border primarily, because it upsets people. That's why they promote this 2SLGBTQ+ bullshit. These are issues that they don't care about in ANY WAY, because it doesn't effect them AT ALL so they don't care if abortion is legal or not, they don't care if gay marriage happens, if a baker won't bake a cake for a gay wedding, as long as you are distracted, and you don't realize that all this shit ends if you just cut their damned heads off.

There's NO sincerity in their beliefs. Their power comes from making war. This is when they tax us, to make us poor, send it off to some god forsaken country and kill a bunch of people, and ALSO profit at the end of it so now they have an incentive to keep you distracted because they just murdered a bunch of people to make money, and you all are fighting over shit they don't even care about, and you shouldn't either.

The only thing I really got out of school was learning to read and write, math was also useful, but most of it wasn't. History was a joke, English was a joke. They were a complete waste of time.

All this shit will go away though once the country is bankrupt and can no longer get foreign nations to accept our toilet paper as "money" at the end of a gun.

Oh you'll get that when everybody is in poverty. Familial bonds are very strong in Mexico, Venezuela, Bosnia, Russia, Syria, Gaza... Poverty FORCES people to be interdependent on one another. You won't end up in an old age retirement home, because you won't be able to afford it, and you'll be able to die at home, that your children live in, because they could never move out.

Look, the only time there is going to be change if it a bunch of politicians, and their "donors" are strung up from lamp posts at this point. Voting doesn't matter.

ANY power you cede to the government will be used against you. Education was. Now people are clamoring for TikTok to be censored. Isn't it weird there's no device on the market that is locked down and strictly limits your kids to only sites you approve of, or there's no organization that vets sites? Isn't it odd that although we've had email encryption for 3 decades, email is still sent in the clear? I wonder why. I wonder if the entire population isn't under surveillance and chaos is the desire.

It's trivial to make a device that is restricted to a set of websites, very easy. I can do that on any linux computer, I just remove the DNS service, and limit it to only the /etc/hosts file. I can do it in a few minutes. Easy to setup a system to be READ ONLY as well, so it can't be modified or jail broken.

Don't be a Disney like Jeffery Epstein.

It's not companies that are pushing this shit, it's our government, and our government isn't the people we elected, it's BlackRock and Vanguard. Their president is the Federal Reserve.
