OOTB's Political Thread . ..

He looks like someone needing to overcome major issues and a limited life, not on the internet spewing lies about Trump. I give people like him the benefit of doubt for being mad about things.
I didn't say he was online doing anything. I said did you ask him if he voted for Harris. What he "looked like" is immaterial.
 
Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Labor for comment: "This is another incredible discovery by the DOGE team, finding nearly $400 million in fraudulent unemployment payments," Department of Labor Sec. Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement. "The Labor Department is committed to recovering Americans’ stolen tax dollars. We will catch these thieves and keep working to root out egregious fraud - accountability is here."

The DOGE post states that the survey found, "24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits," "28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits," and "9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits."

Your tax dollars being burned by corrupt politicians.

Demoncrats on this board are not like the JFK era where they were rational people. Sure, back then the GOP wanted more DoD spending and they wanted more social spending but today the demoncrats want an open border to DESTROY the US. I'd say that makes them bad/evil/insane people. The clowns on this board have not disowned the demoncrats pushing trans BS on everyone, stealing our tax dollars via fraud/schemes with NGO/fake programs, etc.

Don't look now but here comes WWIII. So much for the orange moron brokering a peace deal.

Trump tells NBC News he's 'angry' and 'pissed off' at Putin


BREAKING: Iran rejects negotiations with the US over nuclear program


Go ahead, MAGA world, and kiss your asses goodbye.

Youre not around to kiss.

and he didn't say you said he was online doing anything. He said he was NOT online doing something that someone else is doing. Reading comprehension much?

Can you figure out what that something is and who is doing it? I can go out of my way to go out of my way to give you a clue if you need me to.

Or you can just get into a Strummingram signature virtue-signaling frenzy about it all. But don't go out of your way. Please.

If the dude with the tumor was a Harris supporter, he would hate him... negating the faux sympathy he claims. You dipshits look at everyone and everything through a political prism.
 
I’ll let you goofballs in on a little secret. The “libs” aren’t opposed to making government more efficient. They’re opposed to a wannabe autocrat grifter trying to use executive orders to disband crucial government organizations.

They’re not opposed to Elon because he’s “associated with Orange.” They’re opposed to him because he’s a man child that’s been on a multi year ketamine fueled bender, has a history of literally retweeting neo-nazi bullshit, and has been lying to consumers about “autopilot” and all kinds of other shit with Tesla for years. Anyone who follows the auto industry closely knows that Tesla has been a shady company from the start. And apparently he can’t even handle his own business very well since a 1.4 billion dollar accounting error just got reported. Elon is a ****ing clown, and he always has been.

It’s not just the “libs” anymore. These town halls are getting overrun by veterans and all kinds of other people who have realized the current regime is trying to cut their benefits. Lots of people don’t want indiscriminate cuts to essential services. Firing and then having to rehire people en masse is not efficient, it’s stupid. The endless propaganda doesn’t change that.

Making government efficient is a worthy mission that pretty much every American agrees with. What they disagree with is the method of trying to do it. If you can’t understand people being opposed to Trump trying to massively expand executive power while attacking any judges that stand in his way, then you need to put down the kool aid. If you believe that government bloat is purely some Democrat scheme to funnel money to the DNC then you are just willfully ignorant. It wasn’t that long ago that a Republican VP with deep ties to the military industrial complex started a war in the Middle East that cost US taxpayers trillions of dollars, and countless lives. All to enrich himself and his buddies at Lockheed and Halliburton.

This hyper partisan shit is going to burn the whole ****ing country to the ground. If Biden or Obama had appointed Mark Cuban to try and control the US budget you guys would be losing your f*cking minds. I watched people endlessly bitching about executive overreach from Obama, and he was never remotely close to the kind of shit Trump is attempting.
I'll let you in on a little secret. You are mindlessly allowing the media and leftwing pols and celebrities to manipulate your thinking....if you can call it that.

Libs are opposed to what the above tell them that they should oppose, which is never what Trump specifically wants to achieve, but rather Trump and whatever he wants to achieve. If he wants to cure cancer, you'll not care about his goal, your goal is to oppose his every act. If he wants to prevent a nuclear holocaust, you'll happily contradict previous assertions you've made in favor of that exact thing in order to oppose Trump regardless.

You'll do what you're told to do by the likes of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer and think what you're told to think by Jimmy Kimmel and Whoopi Goldberg. A good sheep will do that. But you aren't a good sheep. You are an excellent sheep.

says you, even after he clearly states that he would overlook any political leaning for this man who deserves his sympathy for more valid reasons. You aren't exactly inherently political, you just coincidentally tend to line up that way.. You just need to create scallywags and villains to virtue-signal against. And you have no compunction about ignoring or twisting reality in order to do so, regardless of how you might demean someone who is anything but a villain or scallywag.

If one isn't in tune with your need to virtue-signal, he is your enemy.

By God, I have to agree. When looking at things through a political prism is what's being done, we tend to do that and not talk about our favorite cheesecake recipe.

The difference between you and us is we don't deny what we do even as we're doing it.

Who do I "support" that wants to kill Donald Trump? I don't think he even knows wtf they are.
wait, you want to introduce facts and reality now, as if they had any bearing on your previous knee-jerk reactions? I'm sure you must realize that the who, what, where and when have little bearing on your targeted contrariness. Not to mention the how and why.

Good grief man. I’ve been more critical of democrats than you ever have been of Trump or the Republican Party. I’ve railed against the elites in control of the DNC endlessly on here, while you tie yourself in knots to come up with a justification for literally anything Trump does. Your entire schtick about being a sheep here is based on a propagandized view of what everyone left of center thinks. I don’t watch late night talk shows or give two shits what Hillary Clinton thinks about anything.

Same... I don't watch ANY political related media since the election. I don't even watch much of the satire of it. I do love JAJ's Trump impersonation, so I make an exception for his bits. But, democrats are bought off shills just like Republicans. They're politicians... they're not civil servants. Especially in the federal government.

I only fell back into noticing anything recently because a buddy of mine is a day trader and told me how these tariffs and Trump's mouth is killing him and others and the market.

The funny thing is, the political “left” in this country is severely misaligned with the Democratic Party. Every “liberal” I know is deeply critical of them. If their base actually supported them and showed up to vote then every presidential election would be a landslide. I don’t think republicans have that problem. The right will vote for whoever the republicans put on the ticket just out of principle. They’ve always been much better at circling the wagons.

Honestly, he should be killing it. Someone who is into that and pays attention should have been able to take advantage of these big swings. I can't cause I'm too skerred to try and would likely push the wrong button or something, but it's what he does.

I think you are kidding yourself about what's happened. The D party is now controlled by and dominated by a small percentage of political "left" even though the bulk of people in the party are still middle of the roaders who just want some common sense applied and for their families to do well. They are just too afraid to say anything for fear of getting shouted down and called some ist or ism. They are leaving or voting R in droves because they feel that the orangeman supports them because he's been the same type of target and has a message that isn't considered crazy left. He can be a total ass but still come across as relatable and sincere in wanting those voters to succeed. That doesn't mean that he doesn't have his issues, but the schickt of all things being bad just because it comes from Mr. Evil is being seen for what it is - dipshits looking at everything and everyone through a political prism.

Well... if you're too scared and you can't do it, then it's probably best to keep it there and not pretend you know how someone else who "does it" should be "killing it" in the current market situation.

Lol. I'd have a hard time with the risk of day trading during "normal" markets. It's not within my risk tolerance. Doesn't mean I don't think traders who are perfectly suited to such shouldn't be able to take advantage of all this. Just saying, these people are supposed to be experts at knowing what to grab and when to buy, sell and short. A market making big swings would seem to make that easier.

I mean, you are kidding yourself if you think there aren't a ton of people out there who've made a killing in the last week. Hell, one of your buddies, schiffty, thinks the WH has been inside trading and demanding an investigation - that's just funny cause I highly doubt he'd want anyone going through his finances over the years. First, he's against tariffs, then he's against pausing them. The only consistency there is that he's against anything orange related. Sound familiar?
 
Good grief man. I’ve been more critical of democrats than you ever have been of Trump or the Republican Party.
that should tell you something. Get a clue. Take a hint. You're backing the wrong horse.

I am not in favor of everything Trump believes and does. But I strongly support many of his efforts, both current and previous...and you can deny it all you want to, but the indisputable fact is that the left...in which you are firmly ensconced...is mindlessly compelled to counteract whatever Trump does, good of the country be damned. Criticize them? Try not supporting them and then we'll talk.

This is just flat out wrong. The Democratic Party is still controlled by corporatist lifers that have been on the Hill for decades. Yes they pay lip service to the “woke” left or whatever you want to call it, but the woke contingent is not running the party. The last two primaries make this very clear. The political establishment in the DNC were never going to let someone like Bernie win because he’s pro labor. They’re bought and paid for by Wall Street and private industry, just like the republicans are.

The notion that people are only criticizing Trump out of some extreme bias or derangement is stupid.

you're a riot, Alice. No group dutifully gathers for the Spring shearing like the left does, and I'm LMAO at the implication that it matters whatsoever who is doing the shearing. You'll ALL be there regardless and we all know it. And I lol at your weak attempt to claim independence of thought by trying to distance yourself from willingly participating in the festivities. I think @strummingram is the only one who bought it because he's playing the same game of attempted self-deception.

nice rectal extrapolation. You can not offer one example of me doing this. I support what he does that I agree with and accept the things he does that I don't agree with because it's sort of a package deal. But that being said, I have made amply clear here what I am not in tune with him on.

On the other hand, why don't you explain why you haven't supported the effort to rein in spending and eliminate fraud and waste? Support the effort being made. To say you don't condone waste as a generality is a copout, and a really weak one. You can say you despise him all you care to we'll applaud your right to your own opinion in that regard, but your lack of support for what the country desperately needs to have addressed is a tad suspicious if not downright telling.


Your entire schtick about being a sheep here is based on a propagandized view of what everyone left of center thinks.
another rectal extrapolation. Cite the propaganda you refer to and show me being influenced by it. No, sorry chump, you can't...because the sheep comparison I make is purely my longstanding creation and it's based on nothing other than my personal observation. Try again. Try harder. And wash your hands.


I don’t watch late night talk shows or give two shits what Hillary Clinton thinks about anything.
I can buy that. Because it doesn't really matter to me by which means the leftist anti-Teump mindset has filtered down to you. All that matters is that it obviously has. Now get the flock out of here.

of course it is stupid. Sensible people wouldn't of their own will succumb to such unwarranted bias and opposition. That's what we keep trying to point out by referring to the tendency as derangement. All the signs of derangement are there as are all the signs of stupidity being a risk factor..

The last two primaries make this very clear.
When would those be?

2024 actually had no primary and when it initially did, the dates of things were rigged to ensure the selected person. You literally then cancelled the primaries and anointed a queen who was one of the most extreme left candidate's who has ever held a major office.

2020 had a primary with a candidate who ran on his decades and decades of "service" with a campaign of pretty middle of the road stuff that all started with an alleged decision to enter based upon yet another lie and fabrication against the orangeman. Of course, that stance of being a moderate turned out to be another complete falsehood because the staff and the autopen went screaming hard to the left.

If you're talking about 2016, I won't even bother simply due to the time lapse - that's just the point. Take a look at the gains Hitler made with so many voting groups that have been "owned" by D's for generations. They've taken that for granted, as an automatic, and it burnt them badly this time around. Ignore the trend at your peril. Me, I love it and hope this mad rush to the cliff of progressivism continues.

You're not wrong about the core of corporate lifers having huge influence - over both parties - but you are kidding yourself if you think those people who jump back and forth voting wise and really control election results aren't completely pissed off at the D's stances of today. It's like calling Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, or Post Malone "country" artists. I love their stuff, but people that were hard core fans back in the 70's or even early 2000's would think I'm nuts. Things change and evolve. Just because a label is applied after someone's name doesn't automatically mean it's good or bad.
 
Senator Kenney said "directions are on shampoo because of people like AOC."


remember in their debate when Trump depantsed Hillary about her being in jail if he was in charge of justice? It was one of the truly great comeback lines ever and one that stuck to Hillary like glue. This shampoo line is just as good and it too will help define AOC for a long time. And that of course is a good thing.
