What do you mean lied?  Who lied?  Trump is a threat to democracy and many SC decisions have upheld actions that make him worse.  Its not irrational to wonder what they'll do in what should be an easy decision.  

 

And.why insult people who are concerned about democracy?  You can disagree on things but surely hoping to retain democracy isnt a bad thing 

 

Threat to democracy..??

 

Funny, no mention of the last couple of years of the Biden Presidency where the entire cabal in charge propped up a corpse that could barely speak/function and told the entire country for years "He's at the Top of his game - we can't keep up with him".

 

Then throw in wiretapping 8 opposition senators and 400 republican entities

approved by Garland/Jack Smith & company.

 

No threats to democracy there -- just plain old corruption while the actually threatening democracy.

Cubs, have you ever noticed that all those who come on here near-daily and complain about this issue (Trump) and that issue (Trump) completely ignored the same issues (or worse) when their candidate held office?  This entire Political Posts thread is a farce.  Most of our objective posters rightfully ignore it.   They're onto something.

Kind of, in a way, similar to how so many people did not care whatsoever(like literally never a word!) about Epstein while their heroes where in control of the files for 4 years, but now are obsessed with a pedophile….

 

I think this is a good point. Failure all around.

Reds, have you noticed that all the cult members, when unable to rationally support whatever stupid thing has been done lately, always, always, always refer back to "whataboutism" instead of discussing the actual point.  As Parsad has pointed out, two wrongs dont make a right.

Yeah sure @dwy000 - the biggest scam in American history - a phony President for years, while the country was run by "The Committee".

 

Nothing to see there!

[Gregmal]

Ive already called them out on that one plenty of times...LOL

 

Whataboutism= We got/get to do it and theres no need for accountability and/or reconciling of such, but when you do it I act holier than thou and need all sorts of answers and accountability

I do make a concerted effort to tone it down, but I'm somewhat perplexed since I wasn't trying to be an asshole. I apologize if I came off that way.

It is not.  I have lived in Uzbekistan for many years, and know people who have lived there for decades.  There were hardly any Uzbek nurses and very few Uzbek doctors, despite them enjoying preference for university admissions for these and other fields.  

 

No, it's a very strange thing to say.

 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK458307/#:~:text=The number of nurses in,5.2).

 

'The number of nurses in the region decreased from 938 per 100 000 population in 1990 to 843 per 100 000 in 2012, which was still slightly higher than the EU average (836 per 100 000). Uzbekistan and Belarus have retained a markedly higher number of nurses (1129 and 1062 per 100 000 population respectively), while Georgia, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan have the lowest densities of nurses in the region (314, 459 and 400 per 100 000 population respectively). Azerbaijan, the Republic of Moldova and Turkmenistan have seen large decreases in nursing staff in the 1990s and 2000s (Fig. 5.2).'

 

But I guess since you personally haven't seen an Uzbek nurse (and how would you know if you had?), then they don't exist. Bizarre reasoning.

There is an explanation for why it goes the way of whataboutism.  Why should they care about a standard that other side doesn’t keep or care about when it’s their own.
 

For example, Trump pulled through the courts for several years, and then people claiming fascism when some on their side face their day in court too.

Biggest MAGA complaint is too many brown people. 

When Biden tried to pass a strong border security bill that the Republicans built, Trump told them all to vote against it. 

 

Enough said!

Why pass Biden's phony border bill when Trump could just close the border in 30 days - which is exactly what he did.

"Why bother having a fire extinguisher in the kitchen when we live across the street from the fire department?"

 

Because it would've prevented millions of illegal immigrants from entering the country in the first place. Saving billions in expenses and preventing the use of unconstitutional ICE kidnappings.

Why is it you're continuing to post nothing but mostly 'one-liners',with  rear mirror wiews, backwards looking, posts in this topic about ie. former POTUSs actions and doings? -Be it like posts about like former POTUS's, like Obama or Biden?!

 

Don't you respect the outcomes from earlier presidential elections, approved and acted upon?

 

It's generally all by locic flawed from you! -You aren't looking at things from a forward looking perspective, from where we all are! History is history, and nothing posted here on CofB&F posted by you here, or others, here in topic ,is nothing but logically flawed! -And naturally you already know that! - It's actually critizing outcomes of Presidential decitions earlier in time, which does not actually dress you well here.

 

You're an investor, and need alone therefore to look and post materially differently from what you actually might have done here recently, related to etc. incumbent  cf. former POTUSs doings.

Yeah I agree with that but that was pre social media and cameras on you non stop. Hard to tell what “then” would look like with today’s environment. I Was listening to a Sam Harris discussion with Jordan Peterson and they were talking about how this frictionless media is bad for society. There used to be editorial gatekeeping that would mitigate the reactionary content and also serve as a filter for credible sources, and journalists as they had to publish their content through a filter. There is good and bad with this obviously as you have to trust your institutions. So we are in a weird paradigm where trust in media and credibility of media is at all time lows, and we have this runaway independent press where anyone can build a platform and have access to millions of viewers without having anything vetted. 
 

Those past filters tamed reactions to things because there was no place to go to continue ranting. Nixon said and did all kinds of things. Johnson pulled his dick out for a reporter. On and on…

 

Trump antics coupled with this media environment and consumer outlets (social media, podcasts etc) is just the chefs kiss on mass rage baiting. 

 

I agree with that for the most part.  But I didn't see Obama, Biden or Dubya ranting and raving on Twitter, Facebook or AOL in Dubya's time.  This is a whole new thing with this President.  And I've never seen any other U.S. President push aside another world leader just to make sure he was front and center.  Stuff like that...the petty shit...the lunatic rants...it's certainly not just related to changes in media, since the guy likes nothing more than his face on the media.  Whether it's Time Magazine or Melania in Vogue or a Noble Peace Prize...he likes notoriety and getting his face in the media...as long as it's flattering.  Otherwise, that media entity that is critical of him is fake or hates him.  Cheers!

So what do we think happens when the Supreme Court overturns tariffs? 
 

a) these little babies whom open mouth wailed about “democracy” and the “crooked courts” eat their properly allotted dose of “you were fucking dead wrong again”?

 

or

 

b) they forget/conveniently ignore all the absurd lies and claims they’ve made about the courts and try to champion the result as a personal victory in their mental game of “got Trump”? 

 

I don't know...but how do you think Trump will react:

 

a)  Will push through and find some other loophole to get what he wants

b)  Say it was the Dems & MSM that forced the Supreme Court to vote against the tariffs

c)  Fire the fall guy for the tariffs...definitely not Trump

 

Cheers!

Huh??

 

So the biggest political story in the history of the USA is the phony Biden Presidency - and you want to give it a pass because you don't like Trump.

 

And now you have this enormous wiretapping scandal, recently unleashed by the Biden administration on their political opponents.

 

Now those are stories about real "threats to democracy" - but you would rather not discuss it??

 

Why don't you just go solve that Ukraine war that has your hair on fire everyday.

And don't expect Trump to solve it for you.

 

Of course, that will never happen since you and your European buddies are all talk and no action.
