Its Trump-style Bread and Circuses.

That is all it is. Its superficial and not of any consequence.

Sometimes you have to tolerate his public antics in light of his anti-Establishment and anti-globalist agenda.

Doesn’t matter, you’ll vote for him if he’s the last man standing on the right

Trump has my vote even if he grabbed some random female by the pussy and shot someone on 5th Avenue.

I'll vote for DeSantis again too.

Disney provoked Florida and so now they may lose some of their unique privileges in Florida.

Agreed on both. As bad you may think some of their recent "gaffes" or calculated political theaters are, it's still infinitely better than any leftoid.

Trump is basically a 1980's-90's Democrat right now with his soft positions on the culture, vaccines and criminal justice - kind of like Bill Clinton including all the baggage!

I will leave it to the Always-Trumpers to explain how nominating a term limited Bill Clinton as the Republican nominee is superior to nominating a guy like DeSantis.

Trump's position on the vaccines was it is your choice. He didn't say that they should be mandatory, he said they should be voluntary.

Trump is nothing like Bill Clinton who raised taxes in any way he could until it was impossible.

Trump got rid of the tax penalty for opting out of Obamacare, and he doubled the standard deduction (a lower class tax cut).

I have nothing against De Santis and I voted for him.

Either one far better than leftoids. Clinton wasn't a bad president, he was just a bit corrupt like most of them and had a different definition of what is is.

clambo says

the standard deduction (a lower class tax cut).

Actually, a middle-class tax cut. Lower classes do not pay income taxes anyway, so this actually benefitted middle class renters, middle-class with paid for homes, and middle-class with smaller mortgage balances (midway through term or not in excessive house price areas). A Californian in a skewed housing market may not see that for the same reason they would think one needs a $200k income to be "middle-class."

Planned Parenthood explicitly planned to encouraged homosexuality in 1969 as a way of reducing the population:

The same people seem to be in charge today.

https://palexander.substack.com/p/trump-was-flat-wrong-100-on-the-lockdowns

Trump was flat wrong, 100% on the lockdowns & the fake deadly OWS mRNA technology (Malone, Bourla, Bancel, Weissman et al.) COVID injections; he has to own it & tell the people he is sorry for this & admit as POTUS, he was misled, will now work in Trump 2.0 to reverse PREP ACT liability protection (retroactive) allow us to sue, & set up victim compensation fund all those harmed by lockdowns, vax!

I will give him the benefit and give a Term 2.0…he has to fix the wrongs from his administration to make people ‘whole’…he has to punish people who did wrong in COVID lockdowns and the vaccine. ...

There is no data, no evidence anywhere that Trump can point to to show that the COVID mRNA vaccines were safe, effective, and helped, NONE! Wishful thinking.

Not one study, not one trial still today, has shown that any of the mRNA gene injections are safe and effective; none done in adults and none in children. Not one! Just wishful thinking.

OWS was a pure failure! I was there too. That is all I may say. The lockdowns all failed. All of them. People died.

Trump really wanted to do good by his peoples, he loves nation, flag, peoples….he wanted a vaccine that was safe and effective, I know. I was there. He repeatedly asked them para “you are assuring me it is safe and efffective, do not bring it if unsafe”…and they like Moncef and Bourla and Bancel would say para “yes, Mr. President, it is safe and effective” and he would say para “do not bring anything if not safe and effective”…para “yes, Mr. President, it is safe and effective”…Trump’s problem is that he trusted what they were telling him as his lead medical and scientific counsel, not knowing they were lying to him all the time.

There is lots I know and can say but cannot. Bound by confidentiality. A POTUS must have executive privilege and that not all said around them will be leaked etc. But this cannot stop me from speaking my mind, and I fought hard within the administration. Against lockdowns and all of it. I just know this, Trump is not a bad man, he made 2 terrible mistakes e.g. allowed Fauci et al. to manage the lockdowns and they used that to harm people and topple Trump…hari kari…he allowed OWS. The 2 greatest disasters ever known happened under Trump. Lockdowns and the COVID vaccine.

He has lots of explaining to do.

He has to own it and beg forgiveness and explain how it will not ever happen again…only he can do it…he must come in and burn DC down to the ground, raze it…fumigate the city…send all home until completed.

Patrick says

This is not true. This is ignoring the fact that the vaccine was released after Trump left office... he didn't know. But he needs to stop supporting this poison. The latest from Trunp is this:

Donald Trump: "When I am back in the White House, I will use every available authority to cut federal funding to any school, college, airline, or public transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a vaccine mandate." https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/donald-trump-covid-19-lockdowns/2023/08/31/id/1132747/

You have to keep the following in mind:

MAGA and the historical political realignment it is a major part of is above all a social evolution.

Sarah Palin was proto-MAGA. None of us knew it at the time as such, but it sure is obvious now.

People like Trump are MAGA 1.0. This includes Kari Lake and MTG.

People like Vivek are MAGA 2.0. Not saying Vivek is electable, but he can handle the media exactly how we want him to and need all our MAGA pols to. And, policy-wise is smart & knowledgeable compared to the above precursors. Tucker Carlson I put into this category as well. Possibly a more seasoned Kari Lake, too.

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.

UkraineIsFucked says

When our party is filled with retardation like this, it explains why Democrats run rings around us and why Republicans have lost power in virtually every branch of government since 2016.

What good is "MAGA 1.0 or 2.0" if they keep running people like Sarah Palin and Kari Lake (and Doctor Oz and Herschel Walker) who lose EASY elections?

It was Trumpian genius for Kari Lake to tell a bunch of old retired Arizona veterans who liked McCain "To get the hell out!" right before her election. Addition by subtraction!

I forgot, Trump and MAGA think they are going to replace all of the moderate Republicans they have alienated with a bunch of African Americans and Bruce Jenner's tranny friends..

https://chrishanger.wordpress.com/2024/01/10/some-reflections-on-the-current-populist-situation/

Kari Lake was completely defrauded with the willing assistance of the AZ GOP.

The phone call came out and the Chairman of the AZ GOP resigned over it. Basically trying to bribe her to get out.

She was one of the most popular local newscasters in Arizona, beloved by natives and retirees alike, and continues to win lawfare cases over the election.

There's NOTHING moderate about McCain, or Nikki Haley, or Dick Cheney, or any of those Neocon assholes. Those fuckers invited the Neocons to control foreign policy for 20 years which has led to nothing but disaster. The reason we have NOTHING but propaganda in corporate media is because of them.

People who think they are "moderate republicans", are just brainwashed republicans. These are the people that were easily convinced "we can't wait for the final proof to come in the form of a mushroom cloud" from Iraq, who obsess about whether Michelle Obama is a transgender or not - who fucking cares? They will support ANY war as long as a republican starts it, and will oppose ANY war as long as a democrat starts it.

The moderate republicans are nothing more than brain dead party loyalists. They'd vote for Lucifer himself if the media and establishment republicans supported him. These are barely even sentient people. They have no principles, and if, say, a democrat came around that had every value (and demonstrated that he did) that a "moderate republican" had, they'd vote for a communist on the republican ticket. They don't matter. They vote completely unthinkingly.

Neither Kari Lake of Doctor Oz lost their elections.

Until you realize this, you're going to be perpetually puzzled as to why people keep losing "easy" elections. They aren't losing them. Until you see the actual problem, there's NO CHANCE it can be fixed.

AmericanKulak says

Yes. Notice what MAGA 1.0 ers have most in common? They are defined by not what they have done as much as what has been done/is being done to them. Pseudo-martyrs, of a sorts. 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!

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.

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?

Democrat? Or RINO?

HeadSet says

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".

The entire pool was corrupt.

Eric Holder says

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.

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

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.
