OOTB's Political Thread . ..

India-Pakistan: 125 Jets Clash in One of Largest Dogfights in Recent History​


Why isn't Donald Trump intervening and stopping this insanity? Has his failure to produce a peaceful resolve in Ukraine broken his spirit? Has Netanyahu thumbing his nose at the President undermined his confidence? Is this Trump's way of admitting he is nothing more than a feckless leader?

Anyone? Anyone?
Why did obama and biden let putin invade Ukraine, twice???

Why did biden let Iran attack Israel through its proxies?

Why did your mother pull you out of the toilet when she crapped you out?

Haven't you heard? Biden and Obama were ineffectual on the world stage, but Donald Trump is all-powerful. At least that's the rumor around here among the "poorly educated."

By the way, can you answer the question?

You should have watched the hearings. Apparently you have not watched any of them.
I haven't been watching them, no. I have seen a few clips. Cheney isn't likely going to be reelected- from what I hear. Even if she is a "real conservative Republican"- whatever that even is- she'll be doing it from her mansion and not in Washington.

Brad Raffensperger might be around for a little while, same as Brian Kemp. That Rusty Bowers guy seems to be anti-Trump. And, I did see that Judge Luttig's testimony. But, he's been vocal that he "is not political." But, it's not like a vast majority of Republicans are publicly denouncing him in the media, or anywhere else.

I'm not sure the GOP is able to wash-off the Trump stank. The handful that try and vilify him by joining with Democrats for a 3rd impeachment attempt, the stronger his support becomes and the more difficult it will be for the GOP to even hope to move beyond him. They let him in, they tacitly supported him throughout his administration, and he grew beyond their control. I think they're stuck with him.

Actually Rusty Bowers said despite the potential illegality of what Trump did he liked him as a president before all this and would vote for him again.

As for 'real republicans', the differentiator of the people testifying is guts. McConnell and much of the silent gop wants a knife in Trump's back but he doesn't have the balls or political will to say that publicly.

So, it turns out that the "Maryland Dad" the D's were all snuggled up to as that great victim of the big bad wolf was not only here illegally, a member of a terrorist organization, but was earning money as part of a human smuggling operation. Maybe some more senators and congress members should go visit him.

Then why did they circumvent the American justice system and break the constitution to deal with him?

This is either bullshit or it just proves how unAmerican the Trump administration and the Rs are.

Maybe it was Eastman that he(Bowers) was talking about. It was something pretty serious because he was very animated in his testimony... something about "that has never happened in the history of this country."

Speaking of unAmerican Republicans, are they all sore losers?

Griffin concedes NC Supreme Court race, ending unprecedented effort to overturn election

After spending over six months vigorously contesting his narrow loss in the 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court election, Jefferson Griffin conceded the race on Wednesday following a federal judge’s ruling against him.

Griffin, a Republican judge on the state Court of Appeals, lost the election to Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs by 734 votes. But he and the state Republican Party refused to accept the results, instead embarking on an unprecedented campaign to challenge over 65,000 votes in a legal battle that has roiled the state and drawn national rebuke.

actually, in regard to the bolded; that's the reality, acknowledged by most who aren't mentally deficient and/or biased to the point of irrationality. You don't have to be highly educated to see the plain truth in what's before you, but you do have to be of sound mind. You seem to be having a hard time seeing the plain truth. Do the math.

And certainly no one actually believes DJT to be 'all-powerful', but he sure looks that way sometimes when you compare him to the two bozos mentioned who you keep trying to erroneously defend as worthwhile leaders

Are you oblivious to what goes on in this country?! There are Trumpers who have claimed him to be God-like. Others say he is a savior. Less than a year ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene compared him to Jesus Christ.

Who's of sound mind? Certainly not you or the clowns around here who sanctify this lawless individual as a beacon of morality.

But forget the past for a moment and deal with the present. I know already that you haven't been able to answer the question of why Trump has failed to meet his promises of ending the war in Ukraine before returning to office, and likewise with the Israeli-Palestine conflict.

Now that Trump is 0 for 2, can you explain why this potential nuclear showdown in the Kashmir region isn't foremost on his foreign policy docket? I haven't heard him mutter a single word about it so far. Again, I'll ask if maybe he is defeated and feels powerless to influence world policy?

And no one is blaming Trump for this world conflict, no more so than they are blaming him for the trouble in the Middle East. We're just scratching our heads wondering what is taking him so long to resolve these issues, especially considering that just a few short months ago he was all over the news claiming he could handle such matters in a single day.

I don’t consider it truly “cleaning house” until we drop some thermonuclear bombs on our enemies.

Trump used the tariffs to get other countries to make a deal.
How stupid are you?

Trump has yet to "get another country to make a deal," even though he promised "90 trade deals in 90 days" last month. Today's agreement with the U.K., our 11th biggest trade partner, is more of a framework for a future deal than an actual deal, and there is still much work to follow.

Furthermore, the purpose behind these tariffs is to eliminate trade DEFICITS. Our existing trade deal with the U.K. is for us a trade SURPLUS. So anyone like yourself who is crowing about this being a Trump victory is in the dark and ignorant of how trade agreements actually work.

Meanwhile, this recession Republicans were hoping for during Biden's term is creeping closer every day. You guys might actually get what you were hoping for.

What ACTUALLY happened today in the Oval Office?

Trump Stages a Trade-War Retreat​

Republicans want to pretend this retreat is genius at work.



The Trump administration is planning to announce its first trade deal today, with Britain. Except it won’t be a deal; more of a “deal.” Reportedly it will mainly be a “framework” for an actual deal that may or may not happen sometime in the future. This is the tariff equivalent of “concepts of a plan” for health care.

In other words, this will be smoke and mirrors, an attempt to persuade the gullible that Trump’s tariffs are actually working . . . we can be sure of one thing: It won’t lead to any significant opening of the British market to U.S. goods.



Poor Donald Trump. He has made a complete fool of himself in front of the entire world, and now he is grasping at straws trying to save face. Do you think he has regrets over enacting these pointless and ineffectual tariffs? Of course he does!
 
Political unrest resulted in 25 deaths - that's a drop in the bucket. The 2020 protests are hardly worth mentioning when looking at violent crime increases in 2020.
I kinda discarded gunslingers "defund the police" comment as bait. The phrase doesn't have a uniform definition you can't be a "party line" and you can't be implemented if something has so many different meanings. And the gop talking points on "defund the police" are misleading and exaggerated.
How exactly would you measure that number, 25? Hell, based upon the claims you make about J6, we'd have to include every fatal stroke and heart attack that occurred in the entire states of Minn and Wash.

Defund the police doesn't just refer to agencies who actually had their budgets cut. It's about the entire political movement and attack on police for doing their jobs. You are simply playing ostrich if you think they have not been forced to re-evaluate every single encounter they have through the lenses of race, prosecution, their careers, etc. This lack of enforcement and prosecution has an almost immediate impact on the criminal element. Even people who normally drive very reasonably began speeding excessively during the pandemic when word got around that you wouldn't get pulled over unless doing something else significant.

Donald Trump, in his typical hamstrung fashion, is again pleading for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, warning that Washington will impose sanctions if the ceasefire is not respected. The result:

Ukraine says Russia violating its own 3-day ceasefire, calls it a 'farce'​

"Predictably, Putin's 'Parade ceasefire' proves to be a farce," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X, referring to the truce which coincides with a May 9 parade on Moscow's Red Square to commemorate the end of World War Two.

"Russian forces continue to attack across the entire frontline," Sybiha wrote. "From midnight to midday, Russia committed 734 ceasefire violations and 63 assault operations, 23 of which are still ongoing."

Bill Gates to give away $200 billion by 2045, says Musk is 'killing' world's poorest children​

Bill Gates pledged on Thursday to give away $200 billion via his charitable foundation by 2045 and lashed out at Elon Musk, accusing the world's richest man of "killing the world's poorest children" through huge cuts to the U.S. foreign aid budget.

His announcement follows moves by governments, including the Trump administration, to slash international aid budgets used to prevent deadly disease and famine.

The U.S. cuts have been overseen by Musk, who has publicly bragged about
feeding the U.S. Agency for International Development [USAID]"into the wood chipper," and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Around 80% of USAID programs are set to be cut; the agency spent $44 billion worldwide in fiscal 2023.

what I'm saying is, I don't bother answering stupid questions or reacting to the inane drivel that you pose. Not sure how to make that any clearer for you. You want to discuss something seriously with me, ask me seriously to do so.

I was happy to vote for Trump and happier that he won. Nothing whatsoever has happened and nothing at all has been said by anyone since then to make me any less happy that Trump is our president and that neither Biden nor Harris is.

You brought up inner city crime. I asked for a list together with their political party leadership. You divert to states trying to claim they are red. Alaska, number one on your per capita list, had a TOTAL of 180 deaths. They've already had 294 homicides in Chicago, let alone the rest of Illinois, and we aren't even halfway through the year. But you keep selling the bullet points (pun intended).

These types of interviews are always hilarious, on all issues from virtually all perspectives. Of course, we have no ability to see the unedited versions and how many people are actually "informed" in any given situation. Still, they are funny. But, all it does for me is strengthen the notion that it isn't necessarily a good thing to make a system where everyone is voting. "I'll have a hot dog and vote at that corner stand" for example. That doesn't mean they don't have the right to do so, but let it be a form of Darwinism at work and self-regulate. If the stupid and lazy don't vote, we probably don't get candidates they would be picking.

States per capita, ROFL. Everyone is aware of your tactics of bait and switch my man. You pick a stat where Alaska is number one as support for your argument? That's good stuff right there.

You brought up inner city crime. I asked for a list together with their political party leadership. You divert to states trying to claim they are red. Alaska, number one on your per capita list, had a TOTAL of 180 deaths. They've already had 294 homicides in Chicago, let alone the rest of Illinois, and we aren't even halfway through the year. But you keep selling the bullet points (pun intended).
Is "per capita" okay with you in general when looking at things like crime and "crime rates"? If not, please explain?

New Orleans, Cincy, ATL, St Louis, and Baltimore all always near the top in per-capita gun deaths. You can look up their party leadership. Typically cities (urban places) are blue, but I don't know about all the big ones.

Since cities are typically blue, i figured states makes more sense, and obviously "per capita" would make sense if you're talking rates.

Bill Gates to give away $200 billion by 2045, says Musk is 'killing' world's poorest children
OMG, I guess that's right. Do YOU send UNICEF a grand every month? NO? WTF? You and Elon Musk are ''killing' world's poorest children' you selfish murdering bastard! You better thank Bill Gates for taking up some of your slack.

But then maybe, if Bill Gates wants to not 'murder worlds poorest children', he should send ALL of his money toward stopping his slaughter of children. And he obviously knows it so the murder is murder one, premeditated as all get out kind of murder. Get a warrant for that murdering SOB's arrest.

Libtard doubletalk is so hilariously stupid, but it really is the way they think. 'If you don't give me a dollar, you stole that dollar from me' kind of idiocy.

"You can look up their party leadership." I don't have to because I know the answer which is why you tried to divert. But by all means, please, look them up and lay out for us all the big, "red", crime riddled cities.

"I figured states makes more sense. . . ." Except when the topic is cities. Especially when one considers that the vast majority of crime takes place in large "cities (urban places) [that] are blue." But sure, let's talk about the per capita crime wave in Alaska and how it's impacting the rest of us.

@ Heels Noir, wouldn't it be less trouble for you and less tedious for us if you just posted every day, several times a day....

"Our lives were not made perfect in every way today even though Trump said he would gain complete control of the entire universe by 3:47 PM EST of his fifth day in office."

Or maybe, you could just tell us that Trump is using complete control of the entire universe to take money from the poor in order to make his rich friends richer, and let it go at that. That's what most libtards think.

He err it is Tier 5 with TDS. Trump could cure cancer and the scumbag would complain that means people live longer and will harm "mother earth."

If you know most large cities are blue, then why are you asking for a comparison or contrast that doesn't exist? "Show me all the land-locked states that have more shark attacks!"

And funny how you focus on Alaska and skip the rest of the top X on that list being red. Cities aren't something we can compare if cities are all blue, but states can be.

How stupid are you?

Trump has yet to "get another country to make a deal," even though he promised "90 trade deals in 90 days" last month. Today's agreement with the U.K., our 11th biggest trade partner, is more of a framework for a future deal than an actual deal, and there is still much work to follow.

Furthermore, the purpose behind these tariffs is to eliminate trade DEFICITS. Our existing trade deal with the U.K. is for us a trade SURPLUS. So anyone like yourself who is crowing about this being a Trump victory is in the dark and ignorant of how trade agreements actually work.

Meanwhile, this recession Republicans were hoping for during Biden's term is creeping closer every day. You guys might actually get what you were hoping for.
You being a moron don't understand Trump is building up the economy with the tariffs luring deals with other countries which will help our exports. We are the biggest economy in the world with our middle class buying stuff 24/7, so other countries need to sell their crap here or else find smaller markets. Hell, poor people in this country are middle class in other countries since we are so rich.

The current budget bill in Congress is supposed to lower taxes on consumers and companies to stimulate economic growth. The scum in the biden admin were anti-growth, they like you believe the US is evil and should pay the piper in the name of climate change and our white male dominant society.

A trade deal with the UK is just a start to the economic wave coming. The deal helped open their markets for US farmers/ranchers, but then again scum like you loathe those rural white people.
 
When Donald John Trump put Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court the very first thing I read was how they would overturn Row V Wade. I was very clear how silly this was to even mention.. more important stuff to deal with that a 50 year old law.

I was wrong. Sorry about that.

The part that I find interesting about the "deal" with the UK is how it was immediately attacked by the MSM and their pundits as nothing and no deal at all (and typically, a certain poster here). Well, maybe it's a deal or it's not a deal, or maybe it leads to a deal, or it doesn't. The one thing that I see out of it is that regardless of what the "deal" ultimately does or doesn't do, it means that the evilness of yoyoing tariffs with the UK goes away. Strike a bunch more of these deals/non-deals with other countries who are busy negotiating, then the entire bitch about Trump wrecking things with tariffs disappears, does it not?

The anti's should be applauding and dancing about him finally moving the needle.

Again, you brought up crime in inner cities. And that was appropriate since that's were the majority of crime takes place and where the waves are happening (not that crime hasn't increased elsewhere proportionately, it's just not the bulk of the problem). It's not my fault that your topic involves mostly cities with blue policies. If you don't want to discuss these failures, we'll take that as an admission and simply move on.

Are you prepared to condemn the inevitable violence that is surely to occur now that Roe has been overturned?

Biden was a show pony when he was drugged up, not a workhorse that got stuff done.
