Quote from: DKG on August 16, 2023, 03:48:17 PMHave you given any consideration to modding this sub? You are the perfect candidate for the job. If you do, would you like guest posting?

Quote from: Garraty_47 on August 16, 2023, 04:12:38 PMI saw that mentioned and have given it some consideration.

My first impression was:
Does this sub actually *need* its own Mod? A major advantage of sites with a relatively small userbase are that between the Admin and a Global or two that's all  that's really necessary to keep an eye on things.

Admittedly I don't come close to reading every thread in Politics or even half of them come to that, but I can't recall a single instance where I thought to myself: "Boy, we sure could use a Mod right about now." To me at least it just seems like a job title with literally no duties or tasks to perform.

The people here currently are all forum veterans and demonstrably capable as individuals of coloring between the lines insofar as the forum's guidelines are concerned.

So I guess to begin with I'd need to be convinced this sub specifically actually *needs* Mod, then we can go from there.

As for Guest posting: I'll just say I'm not a fan. /shrug

Quote from: DKG on August 16, 2023, 04:21:06 PMThe idea behind making you a mod was not that Politics needs it, as it is you are politically different from most posters here. Let's say, I modded it. If Lotusbud was to drop by again, she will not post in this sub because I am so fiscally conservative and even though I hate censorship, I would be accused of panel abuse.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on August 16, 2023, 04:51:08 PMI see what you're saying but it still looks like a hypothetical non-issue to me. If you didn't do anything to her post she could hardly accuse you of panel abuse and if she posted something that deserved moderation why would it make a difference if she mischaracterized the legitimate action?

I would suspect any reticence more likely to stem from being greatly outnumbered by users with opposing views and that's got nothing to do with whether or not a Mod is present. That's just demographics.

Quote from: DKG on August 16, 2023, 05:13:06 PMIt's not hypothetical. With Lotusbud it is, but the accusation happened recently. Do you know a poster who uses the handle Joe? Recently he accused Biggie Smiles and myself of restricting his access to certain forums on the board because of his political views. Biggie told him to post a screenshot and of course he couldn't because it was a flat out lie.

If you were a mod here, that accusation from center left posters would not happen. Unless they say you are a conservative's uncle Tom.

At the end of the day he's a creature of the establishment who happens to have some good covid takes but he's a creature of the establishment so once he's in power anything he's said previously won't necessarily be worth a handful of shit.

Quote from: DKG on August 17, 2023, 10:53:36 AMTrump may not participate in next week's Republican debate. Any candidate that won't debate challengers should not be a candidate for their party. That includes Biden who will not debate RFK.

Quote from: Lokmar on August 17, 2023, 02:52:13 PMSure, I remember it. Biden hid from interviews, held very few public appearances, and the ones he did had a controlled group of people seated 6' apart.

And that if he isn't, that he should be a write in candidate on the ballot. Fuck the unipartyists who would insist on a De Santis or a Ram His Rajah, I won't be casting a ballot for some puppet of the establishment ever again.

Quote from: DKG on August 17, 2023, 04:29:17 PMIs RFK a shill? It works both ways. No candidate should be allowed to get out of a debate. In Canada, it is the main party leaders trying to keep out smaller party leaders like Max Bernier.

Quote from: Gurk_MacGuintey on August 17, 2023, 04:34:17 PMThe political calculation is that Trump has nothing to lose by not debating when he is so far ahead in the polls.

I can see both sides of the question, and would still enjoy watching Trump be Trump on a debate stage, but he would have nothing really to gain and too much to lose to offset.

Quote from: DKG on August 17, 2023, 04:46:34 PMThat is the same calculation the Dem establishment is making by not letting Biden debate Kennedy. Protecting a big lead is not an excuse to get out of debates.

Quote from: Oerdin on August 30, 2023, 07:36:35 PMTrump will be the nominee but he will lose.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on August 30, 2023, 09:38:06 PMDon't be too sure about that.
The democrats have been very busy starting in 2020 alienating every demographic they "need" to win elections.

Too many of the voters the democrats have been accustomed to taking for granted are fed up with their bullshit. As things stand, simply running on "we're slightly better than republicans" and "scary orange man!" probably won't cut it this time. We've already seen how much "better" democrats are at governance and the results are... underwhelming. And if Joe wanted to paint himself as the sane and rational alternative maybe he shouldn't have tried to start WW3 via a proxy war that's already cost the USA tens of billions of dollars with no end in sight.

When you add in Joe's rapidly deteriorating mental state on top of everything else he's quite far from an easy victory in 2024 no matter who the republicans run.

The icing on that particular cake is a known and popular Green party candidate in Brother West. Cornell can't "take away" my vote from Joe since the democrats never had it to begin with but people who decide to shun the duopoly and vote 3rd party this cycle were probably going to vote for Joe (bless their hearts).

I give Don a much higher than 50/50 chance to be president again... more like 60/40 or even better.

Quote from: Oerdin on August 30, 2023, 07:36:35 PMDeSantis, sadly, doesn't seem to have the personality to really motivate people even though his policies are great.  Vivek isn't a contender but would make a nice figure in an administration.  The rest are pretty much garbage and just running to try to elevate their profile and sell books.

Trump will be the nominee but he will lose.  Republicans remain fools because they aren't getting into ballot harvesting to fight fire with fire so Dems will just repeat 2020 and 2022 with late night dumps of questionable ballots in all the key states.  Republicans have already lost but they haven't figured it out yet.  Biden will remain brain dead, drooling on himself, and shitting his pants but Dems will keep him in place as a useless corpse while the insiders do whatever they want.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on September 07, 2023, 10:43:24 PMEven if Joe was in full possession of his mental faculties (which he's not, at all) he still wouldn't deserve to be president.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on September 12, 2023, 10:40:44 PMFirst I can remember hearing his name was when he was an attack dog for Hillary Clinton. He also worked with/for David Brock (another despicable scrupleless hatchet man) at some point, maybe at the same time he was one of Hillary's hired guns.

That I know of he has since worked for John Kerry, Bernie Sanders, and most recently Marianne Williamson. All failed campaigns and in Bernie's case I'm pretty sure he acted as a DNC infiltrator/agent-provocateur.

He *claims* to have a new-found love for independent and 3rd party politics these past couple of years but he's a fucking snake who can't be trusted to mean anything he says. He's reversed course on basically every stance he's ever taken and hasn't even apologized for any of the horrific shit he's said/done in service to the DNC or the establishment.

West may as well have hired Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to be his campaign manager.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on September 12, 2023, 11:04:40 PMAfter the 2016 primaries the DNC was served with a class-action lawsuit on behalf of Bernie Sanders supporters who claimed the DNC rigged the primary, defrauding Sanders and his supporters of a free and fair election.

The DNC lawyers argued that as a private institution the DNC didn't owe voters a fair election and didn't even need voters at all since it was their right to select any candidate they wanted however they saw fit.

The DNC won in court with that argument.

For anyone now to act surprised or indignant at the notion that the DNC would rig their own primary is either an expression of monumental ignorance or an act of intentional disinformation.

Quote from: DKG on September 12, 2023, 10:51:12 PMIn a news release issued this week, former Ohio congressman and Democrat presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich stated that he believes the Democratic National Committee (DNC) "has created a class of pledged delegates, called Party Leaders and Elected Officials, who are essentially the same as superdelegates, due to the amount of control the party exercises over elected officials."

"This puts the DNC, once again, in the position of overturning the will of voters across the United States. It is unclear how overturning the nation's majority vote could be interpreted as trusting the people," Mr. Kucinich, who is serving as Mr. Kennedy's campaign manager, added in the release. "The DNC consults closely with Julie Chávez-Rodríguez, Manager of Joe Biden's campaign. Given that, and the DNC's commitment to neutrality in the primary process, we anticipate that Mr. Harrison will agree to the meeting," he also said.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on September 21, 2023, 03:29:41 PMAs I understand it the 14th amendment would only be applicable if Don was convicted of either treason or sedition... neither of which he's even been charged with.

The boy's toast and Kopmala is a non-starter.
No amount of Morning Joe tongue baths and CNN proclamations of "THIS IS FINE! EVERYTHING'S FINE!" are going to lift Biden out of that hole. The democrats can only do one thing: replace the entire ticket. Apparently they aren't going to do that, or they're waiting for "the right moment" which is equally foolish because every day they wait is only making it less likely it will matter by then.

I'm already bracing for the inevitable "But muh democracies!" backlash from liberals when I start insisting on social media that there's no way in hell I'm voting for a democrat or a republican.

Quote from: DKG on September 25, 2023, 07:59:39 PMA shocking Washington Post/ABC News poll found that if the election were held today, Trump would crush Biden among registered voters, 52% to 42%.

Moreover, the survey found that Biden's job approval stands at a dismal 37% — a metric that in and of itself signals Biden will lose re-election — because the majority of Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of the economy and the border crisis.

To make matters worse for Biden, approximately two-thirds of Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning voters want the Democratic Party to nominate someone other than Biden in 2024. Most of those respondents aren't picky about who his successor is — they just want someone other than Biden.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on September 29, 2023, 08:02:27 PMI just had a realization and I'm kicking myself I didn't see it sooner.

The reason the democrats are sticking with Biden even though it's clearer every day he's on course to lose in 2024 is simple: they don't fucking care. Not really.

They can run around screaming about democracy being on the ballot and what an existential threat Donny is, but they were saying the same shit in 2016 but then didn't obstruct the Trump administration *nearly* as much as Mitch and friends obstructed Obama. Joe even promised a gaggle of donors: "nothing will fundamentally change" during his administration, exposing the lie in that scam of democrats' claims of being functionally different from republicans.

That's not to say there aren't cosmetic and marketing distinctions having to do primarily with identity politics but as soon as you scratch off that veneer it's obvious both parties owe their allegiance not to 'Murica's citizens but to the same special interests that fund and manage both halves of the duopoly.

Win or lose they couldn't give any fucks because either way they'll just spin their fundraising boilerplate to match the current political balance. Are they ascendant? Gotta keep it that way and expand our majority! Are they sucking hind tit? We must RESIST and retake the levers of power!

It's a game to them. They keep score by counting the money in their bank accounts from insider trades, influence peddling, and corporate sponsorships. Winning or losing elections is incidental, ultimately. Merely a factor to be considered when choosing the phrasing for this fiscal quarter's propaganda.

The hullabaloo about D/vs/R, complete with insincere hand-wringing and hyperbolic partisanship, is so much smoke and mirrors.

Joe was right: nothing will fundamentally change.

And they damn well know that.

Quote from: Thiel on September 29, 2023, 08:33:25 PMI disagree that nothing changed. There were some major policy reversals under Biden. If Biden had defeated say Mitt Romney in 2020, the changes would superfical.

Quote from: DKG on September 30, 2023, 11:36:35 AMVoters deserve to hear the candidates debate issues. That was the tradition until Biden and Trump decided it was not in their interest to debate their intra party opponents. Who cares what Dem and GOP voters want.

Quote from: DKG on September 30, 2023, 01:26:22 PMI predict RFK's candidacy will be more problematic for Trump than Biden. If Biden is reelected, he should send a thank you gift to RFK Jr. Particularly so if RFK runs on the Libertarian party banner.

Quote from: Herman on October 15, 2023, 11:13:20 PMJim Crow Joe's 2024 re-election team and his party said on Sunday that they raised $71 million during the latest quarter, as the Democrat's age and low approval ratings remained a concern for many donors.

The money raised is similar to the $72 million Biden and the Democratic Party raised in the prior quarter, though the April-to-June period was shorter by 25 days because Biden launched his campaign in late April. The summertime July-to-September period more than one year before the election is traditionally sluggish for raising money.

Quote from: DKG on October 27, 2023, 10:27:59 AMRep. Dean Phillips is running to be the Democratic nominee for president in 2024, he announced on CBS News on Friday morning.

The three-term Minnesota congressman will challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination in 2024 -- a move that moves the moderate to the fringes of the party as he battles the well-funded and establishment-backed incumbent.

QuoteAs President Joe Biden gets a Democratic challenger in Rep. Dean Phillips, a new poll showed that his approval rating among Democrats has dropped 11 points in one month and is at the lowest of his presidency.

While 75 percent of Democrats still approved of 80-year-old Biden, that number had stood at 86 percent in the September Gallup poll.
Gallup's October numbers, released Thursday, showed that Biden lost ground with independents too, going from 39 percent approval in September to 35 percent this month.

His overall approval rating for the month stood at 37 percent, down from 41 percent in September and averaging 40 percent over the last quarter.

Just looking at his favorability with a few key traditional democrat-supporting demographics it's obvious he literally can't win. Numerically impossible. He's toast. Done. Kaput.

Whether the crazies are refusing to admit #GenocideJoe is doomed because of misguided party loyalty, a sincere faith in The Cult of Biden, or simply because they're tongue swallowing chewing on the walls in-fucking-sane is an academic question. All that matters is that they're making an already bad situation 1,000 times worse.

Quote from: JOE on November 11, 2023, 01:22:37 PMapparently, abortion was legal in the United States in 1776 when it was founded as a nation.

There was nothing in the original US constitution which prohibited it. Abortion was widely practised by midwives in 18th century colonial and post colonial America

Abortion was made illegal nearly 100 years after the USA became a nation...Lokmar!

so the pro-abortion lobby can argue that they have the consititutional right to have abortions because your founding fathers said so or didn't prohibit the practice.

Quote from: Lokmar on November 11, 2023, 02:38:02 PMDipshit, if you had a clue, you'd know in America, all rights not granted or enshrined federally, revert to the states. Abortion therefore, is a states issue. HOWEVER, if you believe life begins at conception, then abortion is murder. I'll tell you this, by 5 months, its fucking murder, period!

Quote from: Adolf Oliver Bush on November 12, 2023, 12:10:30 AMRoe v Wade shouldn't have been on the books from the start. Punting it back to the individual states was the best move that could have been made.

Where the republican party comes unstuck on the issue is having argued that it should rightly be legislated at the state level, you now have shitheads like Lindsay Graham pushing for federal regulation again. That's enough ammunition for the likes of Joe to start chimping from the pulpit.

Roe v Wade was overturned. Good deal. We now have 50 different standards we can choose to support, it's a lot more doable than expecting everyone to adhere to one... whatever that standard may be.

Quote from: Lokmar on December 02, 2023, 02:38:02 PMWomen have absolutely no business being in politics.  Further, I'd say anyone who doesnt have a job shouldnt be allowed to vote. A felony? No vote. With the way these ubber rich cunts tend to be too liberal, I might think anyone worth over $5 million shouldnt be allowed to vote.

Quote from: Adolf Oliver Bush on December 03, 2023, 02:50:34 AMDude, this has been discussed before. Putting him in jail does not prohibit him from running for office and in all likelihood would only drive his approval rating higher.

And given he requires a secret service detachment as all previously serving US presidents do (for national security interests if nothing else), the only place they could reasonably detain him would be a place like the Mar-A-Lago. Locking him up in a maximum security pen is not an option for anyone, much as TDS sufferers might like to see it.

The Uniparty is practically out of ammunition at this point. Trump as a candidate is outpacing not simply the other nominees for the RNC ticket, he is fast outpacing the Uniparty's trained potato as well. He either needs to die by natural causes or assassination or they'll have to suspend the electoral process entirely to assure "business as usual".

Quote from: Thiel on December 04, 2023, 05:53:49 PMI am worried that RFK's indy run could mean a second term for President Potato.

Few enough TDS sufferers on the GOP side of the bench are going to buy into a platform that has an anti-second amendment actor at the helm, and at the rate Trump's popularity is growing, the few that do will be grossly outweighed by those deserting the Biden camp.

People like ME who voted third party Bush's secont term because we saw him for the filthy RINO he is. People like ME who voted third party when Juan Dela Mc Stain ran because he too was a RINO shitbag!

In full disclosure, I DID vote Romney in 2012 because I hated that dog eating nigger president and Big Mike so fucking bad. I'm willing to bet Trump gets a lot of "hate biden" votes as well.

This is a coup being engineered with noticeable support from socially liberal business tycoons and democRATic donors who support a neocon foreign policy coupled with corporate tax cuts. Haley's campaign is starting to look like a takeover by wealthy members of the center left.

Quote from: Lokmar on December 04, 2023, 09:50:27 PMI guarantee you, if Trump isnt the nominee, the democRATs will win. Trump people have seen the Russia Hoax, the Insurrection Hoax, the false charges, the attempts to keep him off the ballot, along with the banana republic elections in 2020 and 2022. It is impossible to win the 2024 election without all of the die hard Trump supporters. Every single so called independent that flip flops between D and R wont matter.

Quote from: Adolf Oliver Bush on December 05, 2023, 09:09:04 AMWhat Brother Lokmar said here (https://thebluecashew.net/index.php/topic,16017.msg524682.html#msg524682). You might also like to vet your sources a little more carefully; Biden's in-party approval rating is in the toilet, so much so that his own side are beginning to point out the dementia and general failing health of the old coot that independents and GOP alike had noticed long before. Feel free to bookmark this next bit - Biden's chances of taking the oath of office in 2024 are little better than nil at present. The RNC are showing every indication of wanting to shuffle him aside and will likely do so around August (assuming he makes it that far without keeling over) because come August they can appoint any candidate they like without reference to the voting public and insist he is the only chance they have to save the world from Orangeman.

That'll probably be Newsom they're pinning their hopes on, as well as praying like fuck to Moloch (or whoever) that they can bamboozle enough of their voter base to fall into line so that their shenanigans at the ballot box pass muster on the media outlets. And with groups like BLM and even the muslim contingent breaking for Trump at this point, it's a pretty folorn one.

But hey, I could be wrong and you may be right. After all we are still eleven months out from the general... in which case I strongly suggest your best option is to get to beating the pavements and knocking on doors. Sign up as many voters as you can because it sure as hell beats blackpilling this forum about the dooms and perils of another four years of Bidenomics, war, fucktards screwing with the energy grid et al. And get out there early on voting day to cast your vote. Because the bigger the gap you put between the current pathetic incumbent, the harder it will be for any "democracy fortification" to make the nut.

"Democracy dies in darkness" so it is said. So floodlight the shit out of it. It's exactly what the uniparty doesn't want you to do.

Quote from: Lokmar on December 05, 2023, 09:51:37 AMAt least in my case, the message is you're wrong. The number of potential Trump voters that walk into a booth and decide "Yea, I'm voting RFK instead of Trump" were never going to vote for Trump ITFP. Those arent Trump votes for RFK to steal. They were ALWAYS going somewhere else.

An example of this is my wifes next oldest sister. She's declared she cant vote for Trump because of religious convictions. She'd likely vote RFK or no one I guess.

My only sorrow regarding this situation is we cant divide the people after the election so that anyone who didnt vote Trump has to suffer the continued consequences of living under biden policies.

Quote from: DKG on December 05, 2023, 10:00:28 AMTrump's loyal base is not enought to reach 270 electoral votes. He needs indies and soft Dems.

Quote from: DKG on December 05, 2023, 09:48:22 AMI don't doubt he will take the Mitt Romney votes. But, the fact of the matter remains that RFK's indy run is the best thing Biden could hope for.

Quote from: Adolf Oliver Bush on December 05, 2023, 10:34:17 AMWell then, I guess you had best get to signing up voters to run against him as I suggested, hmmm? You know, in the part of my reply which you reckon had nothing to do with your post.

It might not matter given some of the other things I've said on the forum, but moaning all is lost when your preferred candidate is hemmoraging support, staff, campaign finances and shoe-lift futures is a defeatist way of going about things. It's this sort of behaviour which all too many conservatives indulge in and more often than not it's why you're forever losing.

Let it be known, I'm no conservative either... I'm very much a libertarian in outlook. I am assuredly NOT a republican. And I'd vote for Trump over all the other candidates in a heartbeat. So there's two "independantS" today who are screwing with the so-called "truth" handed you by your precious polls and media.

I wonder how many more are like Lokmar and myself in that regard.

Quote from: JOE on December 16, 2023, 11:14:56 AMThat's why I think Trump is not the right leader for this time in history. America should not cozy up to Vladmir Putin and Russia. Beyond the Ukraine War, he has ulterior motives to exert influence beyond Russia's borders. Such as Europe. Plus he wants to destabilize the United States and the American economy. Contrary to what Trump has said, Vladmir Putin is not your/America's friend and never will be. He has very sinister intentions. Don't pal around with Putin.

His mindset isn't that much different from the Bolsheviks following World War I. Even before Stalin marched in to Eastern Europe after WWII, the Bolsheviks attempted to install pro Russian communists governments in Hungary and elsewhere.

If it's a Republican, I'd hope that they choose somebody sensible and moderate like Glenn Youngkin who'll stand up for American and Western Interests, and is anti-Putin.

Quote from: Oerdin on December 17, 2023, 01:50:04 PMThe problem is our choices are only either Biden or Trump.  I wanted EeSantis but he isn't going to win.  Trump certainly has major draw backs but Biden is just a brain dead puppet controlled by hate filled anti-American communists who literally want to destroy the U.S..

Quote from: DKG on December 30, 2023, 11:58:28 AMAfter the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rejected his plea for Secret Service protection for a third time, 2024 independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the decision a political move and "weaponization of government" against candidates seeking to unseat President Joe Biden.

Since he declared his candidacy in April, two armed men have been arrested in separate incidents attempting to gain access to Mr. Kennedy.

"Denied Secret Service again! It's not just about me. It's another example of weaponization of government against Biden's political opponents. They know that 30¢ of every campaign dollar goes to keeping me safe," Mr. Kennedy wrote on X.

"Homeland Security gave no explanation for rejecting our application. Law says all 'major candidates' get protection. I'm polling 22 percent (and 40 percent among young voters—beating both [President Joe] Biden and [former President Donald] Trump). My opinion may be biased, but that seems pretty "major" to me, Mr. Kennedy said.

'A Political Agenda'
Mr. Kennedy has stated that his campaign has spent millions of dollars on private security.

He contends that the continued denial of Secret Service protection is "political" and part of a trend of federal agencies being weaponized to serve a political agenda."

Authorities making the decisions would rather he "spend money on protection than spending it on field organization or advertising," Mr. Kennedy says.

I remember those idiots on the left saying the wall would be ineffective and showed a picture of 3 or 4 young migrants scaling the wall. That was their justification for stonewalling a project that would have mitigated this crisis

yeah, since 0.0001% of the migrants have both the intelligence and the physical strength and endurance to actually scale the wall that means the wall is COMPLETELY USELESS

Democrats are fucking morons of the dumbest order. Safes have been broken into from time to time and locks have been defeated too. Does this mean that banks should no long use safes to store their money and leave the fucking doors open after hours?

idiot dolts I swear

Pollster Frank Luntz declared last year that Donald Trump "could never win" the 2024 presidential election. Now, Luntz says he would bet six figures that Trump does win.

Speaking on a New York Times podcast, Luntz said last May:

If Donald Trump runs for president, as a Republican, he's the odds-on favorite to win the nomination. He could never win a general election. But I can't imagine losing a Republican primary. That's how significant he is within the GOP. ... I would bet on him to be the nominee. And I would bet on him losing to whatever Democratic nominee there was.
But the Republican pollster now believes Trump is the odds-on favorite to win the 2024 election.

In a video posted to social media last week, Luntz is asked, "If you had to bet $150,000 on who's gonna win in November, who would you bet on?"

Clearly uncomfortable with what he was about to say, Luntz squirmed as he admitted that he would bet the large sum of money on Trump to defeat President Joe Biden in a re-match.

"I never dreamed that I would say this, but I would bet on Trump," Luntz admitted.

Quote from: Lokmar on January 15, 2024, 09:04:09 PMLook man, Trump got 74 million votes last time. More than enough to win. If you believe biden ACTUALLY got 81 million votes from live people, I'm not gonna try to change your mind...but if you think 74 million votes is just a "base", well, thats just plain dumb.

biden's support is in the fukin toilet. He has a track record. They will have to cheat even more votes to keep biden in the WH and if that happens, I hope you finally see the light for how corrupt our elections are.

Its widely believed that Nixon beat Kennedy in 1960 BTW.

The article went on to say that "there is a plan to have Biden announce in May that he is not running and have the former first lady take the nomination without a primary vote during the Democratic National Convention in August."

Allegedly, this has been the plan for quite some time.

According to an article written by New York columnist Cindy Adams, "In the summer of 2022, Michelle held a meeting in New York City with major hedge fund CEOs and told them, 'I am running, and I am asking for your support."'

They should have dropped Biden like...yesterday and began a replacement process for him last year midway in 2023.

It was a foolish mistake to allow Biden to make that choice.

A young unknown like Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips would have been a better choice than Biden.

Quote from: Herman on January 31, 2024, 10:41:39 PMTrump leads Biden in ALL SEVEN key swing states but could lose almost HALF of voters if he is found guilty of a crime, new poll shows

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/trump-leads-biden-in-all-seven-key-swing-states-but-could-lose-almost-half-of-voters-if-he-is-found-guilty-of-a-crime-new-poll-shows/ar-BB1hA13h?ocid=mailsignout&pc=U591&cvid=d8280e070ea94072be7b03cabfdb323c&ei=10
Former President Donald Trump leads his successor Joe Biden by six points in a head-to-head poll done entirely in the most important swing states.

The catch, however, is that Trump could lose almost half of those considering voting for him if he's convicted of a crime.
 
Trump leads Biden in each individual state, while an average of the seven comes out to Trump leading by a 48-42 score

The survey, done by Bloomberg and Morning Consult, polled residents in seven key states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Trump leads Biden in each individual state, while an average of the seven comes out to Trump leading by a 48-42 score.

When including independents like Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Jill Stein and Cornel West, the same people pick Trump over Biden by a score of 44 to 35, with Kennedy at nine per cent.

Biden comes closest to topping Trump in Pennsylvania and Arizona, where he's only down by three points, according to Bloomberg.

The news isn't entirely good for Trump, however, as many voters remain concerned about his legal troubles.

The same survey found that 53 percent of swing state voters would be unwilling to vote for Trump if he were found guilty, while 55 percent would refuse to vote for him if he went to prison.

About 23 percent of registered Republicans in the seven states surveyed say they'd drop their vote for Trump if convicted.

Quote from: Lokmar on February 01, 2024, 07:01:15 PMI believe 100% of NOTHING out of MESS-NBC.

Quote from: DKG on February 01, 2024, 07:26:57 AMThe latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey, released on Wednesday, found that Trump is leading Biden in seven battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — that are critical to winning a presidential election.

Here are the results of the poll:

Arizona — Trump: 47%, Biden: 44%
Georgia — Trump: 49%, Biden: 41%
Michigan — Trump: 47%, Biden: 42%
Nevada — Trump: 48%, Biden: 40%
North Carolina — Trump: 49%, Biden: 39%
Pennsylvania — Trump: 48%, Biden: 45%
Wisconsin — Trump: 49%, Biden: 44%

The poll is yet another warning sign for Democrats that Biden is a vulnerable candidate whose re-election is very much in doubt. Especially concerning for Biden is the fact that he won six of these seven states in the 2020 presidential election, losing only North Carolina.

Quote from: DKG on February 09, 2024, 07:43:11 AMDonald Trump, as expected, cruised to victory in the Nevada GOP Caucus on Feb. 8, putting him one step closer to winning his party's nomination.

The former president faced no significant opposition in the contest. His sole remaining major challenger, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, opted to instead compete in a Nevada primary two days earlier that didn't award any delegates. Ms. Haley suffered an embarrassing setback when voters overwhelmingly chose "None of These Candidates" over her in the Feb. 6 contest.

Trump is now poised to sweep up all the state's 26 delegates. He also is entitled to at least four delegates in the U.S. Virgin Islands caucus, held the same day as Nevada. In the Virgin Island, he won 74 percent of the votes and Ms. Haley scored about 26 percent.

Some Democrats are purportedly conspiring to block Donald Trump from the White House if the Supreme Court doesn't rule him constitutionally ineligible, according to a new report.

On Friday, the Atlantic published an article explaining "how Democrats could disqualify Trump if the Supreme Court doesn't." The plan? If the Supreme Court doesn't give "clear guidance" (i.e., the outcome Democrats want), according to the Atlantic, then "House Democrats suggest that they might not certify a Trump win on January 6."

You read that correctly. Some Democrats might do exactly what they claim Trump tried to do: block the certification of a presidential election.

Quote from: DKG on March 03, 2024, 09:50:43 AMA small but substantial chunk of Republican primary and caucus voters say they would be so dissatisfied if Donald Trump became the party's presidential nominee that they would not vote for him in November's general election, according to AP VoteCast.

An analysis of the data shows that many of those voters were unlikely to vote for Trump, some even before this year, but it still points to potential problems for the former president as he looks to consolidate the nomination and pivot toward an expected rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden.

According to AP VoteCast surveys of the first three head-to-head Republican contests, 2 in 10 Iowa voters, one-third of New Hampshire voters, and one-quarter of South Carolina voters would be so disappointed by Trump's renomination that they would refuse to vote for him in the fall.

This unwillingness to contemplate a presidential vote for Trump isn't confined to voters in the earliest states.

Quote from: JOE on March 03, 2024, 11:41:36 PMJagmeet Singh & the NDP are dragging the Liberals & the country down with their overspending & out of control immigration policies.

As much as you may think Trudeau is far left, I think it's because his government made too many compromises to the NDP to stay in power. and of course the NDP doesn't care because they arent' officially the government. so they can make all these demands, tell Trudeau what to do.

Jagmeet Singh is like what Rasputin was to the Czar in pre revolutionary Russia.

He controls and intoxicates them with promises of continued power.

"Make a deal with me & I'll keep you there."

So maybe it isn't so bad if the Liberals get the boot because it would get rid of the NDP and the unhealthy grip/influence they have over Trudeau and the Liberal government.

Quote from: JOE on March 04, 2024, 01:20:58 AMYour St Trump is an American politician who claims he has American solutions for your country, the US, not Canada.

As a Canadian I have no influence over the way Americans vote and therefore cannot impact who you choose there.

I was never fond of Trump, but for all his character faults, missteps and legal troubles, I never felt he was nowhere near as bad as his Republican predecessor, George W Bush...Lokmar! And altho Bush hated Canada, Trump did not. In some ways I didn't mind Trump that much. He may have gone after Mexico but other than that Chinese deo criminal case, he did kid gloves on Canada and left us alone.

Christ, even hardcore Republicans complained to me about W Bush when he was in power and how he trashed your country. They were madder at Bush than liberal Democrats were. Many of them were the most vocal haters of Bush. And to this day a Bush can't ever get nominated by your party and elected every again.

If there's one individual who I blame for America's current woes, it's Dubya.

Bill Clinton was your best post-war President imho.
he had your country working so well, that it was a turnkey system that Dubya fucked up royally and screwed your country and much of the world. all W had to do was just let that system which Clinton left in pristine condition work by itself.

Even that Putin whom you despise so much was inspired to by Dubya to attack Ukraine because of W's unwarranted pre-emptive strike on Iraq.

Actually, in spite of his faults, one thing I admire about Nixon is that he wasn't an Extremist. And the Roe v Wade decision which many of ya'll had gotten ta hate so much & had torn down was ruled durng the Nixon Administration and by USSC justices that he appointed.

Released on Saturday, the poll shows:

Donald Trump leads Biden: The former president commands a respectable 5-point lead over Biden — 48% to 43% — with just eight months until Election Day
Country going the wrong way: The overwhelming majority of registered voters — 65% to 24% — believe the country is headed in the wrong direction
Biden approval: The majority of respondents — 61% — disapprove of Biden's job as president, including 47% who "strongly disapprove"; only 36% who approve
Favorability: More registered voters have a favorable opinion of Trump than Biden, 43% to 38%
Biden too old: A majority, 73%, of respondents said Biden is too old to be president, compared to just 42% who said the same of Trump
What can you do for me: Fewer than 20% of registered voters believe Biden's policies have helped them, whereas 40% said Trump's personally helped them
Economy is bad: A majority of respondents, 51%, described the economy as "poor," while another 23% described it as "only fair"

However I think the 4 major issues which separate them are LGBT rights, Abortion, gun control and Immigration.

Like you, I support abortion because I figger if they're gonna introduce all these labor saving technologies like AI and provide fewer jobs for the next generation and no future fer many, abortion should be allowed.

They can't have a birther society if there isn't gonna be a future for them. That's downright cruel imho.

That's the issue I don't agree with Trump & the Republicans at all because it oppresses the working class and makes them poorer.

QuoteTrump leads Biden in four key battleground states, polls find

Donald Trump is on course to beat Joe Biden in four key battleground states, new polls show.

In Georgia, the former president leads by four points, with 51 per cent to his successor's 47 per cent among registered voters, according to a Marist poll released on Wednesday.

Mr Biden won the state by just 0.23 per cent in 2020, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state since Bill Clinton in 1992.

In North Carolina, a Marist poll also published on Wednesday shows Mr Trump leading Mr Biden by three points – 51 to 48 per cent.

Among independents registered to vote in the state, Mr Trump has a six-point lead – 52 to 46 per cent. While Mr Biden has increased his support among white voters in the state, he has lost ground with Black voters, similar to Georgia. Mr Trump has also gained among younger voters in North Carolina.

Meanwhile, Emerson College, KLAS-TV, and The Hill found in their Nevada poll also released on Wednesday that Mr Trump is up 44 to 41 per cent in the state.  "Nevada Hispanic voters support Biden over Trump, 44 per cent to 39 per cent, while white voters break for Trump over Biden, 50 per cent to 39 per cent."

Sixty-one per cent of voters said Mr Biden doesn't deserve to be re-elected, while 39 per cent said he does.

In Arizona, a state narrowly won by Mr Biden in 2020, Mr Trump is up by four points – 48 to 44 per cent, according to a separate poll by Emerson College and The Hill. Eight per cent remain undecided.

Quote from: DKG on March 24, 2024, 11:33:33 AMRFK's impending announcement of his running mate is threatening to roil the 2024 presidential race, with allies and observers saying it could give him a cash influx as well as a major boost of momentum as he looks to get on more state ballots.

Kennedy's decision to unveil his vice-presidential pick next Tuesday shows a longevity to his bid that many Democrats hoped would have fizzled out by now. Announcing a running mate means the independent candidate has met a necessary benchmark required by two dozen states to be listed on the ballot, something that will bring even more attention to his campaign.

Team Kennedy's search for a No. 2 has gotten noticed for the unconventional names it produced. While many believe Kennedy is likely to choose Nicole Shanahan, a lawyer and mega-donor, others have been privately mused about, with mixed reactions.

Kennedy has publicly talked up a number of people. He previously said that he was considering NFL star Aaron Rodgers, who shares much of Kennedy's anti-vaccine outlook toward public health.

Rodgers fell into the background, however, after comments he made questioning the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School surfaced, sparking outrage. Known to look beyond the bounds of convention, Kennedy also expressed support for wrestler and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who each have nontraditional ideologies, as well as tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang.

Quote from: DKG on March 25, 2024, 11:21:28 AMDemocratic strategist James Carville has been puzzling over why President Joe Biden is hemorrhaging support among voters, black men in particular. The conclusion he drew over the weekend has ruffled some feathers.

In an interview published Saturday in the New York Times, the 79-year-old partisan told opinion columnist Maureen Dowd that when looking at Biden's approval ratings, "It's like walking in on your grandma naked. You can't get the image out of your mind."

According to the latest Gallup poll, Biden's job approval rating is 40% and his disapproval rating is 55%. The Economist/YouGov and Rasmussen Reports polls put the geriatric Democrat's disapproval rating one and two points higher, respectively.

Former President Donald Trump appears to have an edge on Biden in numerous swing states — such as Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan — as well as nationally.

Carville appears to have zeroed in on at least one reason for the drop in support, telling Dowd, "A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females" dominating the culture of the Democratic Party.

"'Don't drink beer. Don't watch football. Don't eat hamburgers. This is not good for you,'" continued Carville. "The message is too feminine: 'Everything you're doing is destroying the planet. You've got to eat your peas.'"

"If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election," added Carville. "I'm like: 'Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?'"

The strategist suggested that all of the "feminine" browbeating, micromanagement, and alarmism is helping to turn off voters along with the left's elitist "faculty lounge" attitudes and "woke stuff."

"There are a lot of people on the left that would rather lose and be pure because it makes them feel good, it makes them feel superior," said Carville.

Trump is selling 'God Bless the USA' Bibles for $59.99 as he faces mounting legal bills

(https://i.imgur.com/zWA95Sjl.jpeg)

Former President Donald Trump is now selling Bibles as he runs to return to the White House.

Trump, who became the presumptive Republican nominee earlier this month, released a video on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday urging his supporters to buy the "God Bless the USA Bible," which is inspired by country singer Lee Greenwood's patriotic ballad. Trump takes the stage to the song at each of his rallies and has appeared with Greenwood at events.

"Happy Holy Week! Let's Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible," Trump wrote, directing his supporters to https://godblesstheusabible.com selling the book for $59.99.

Billing itself as "the only Bible endorsed by President Trump!" the new venture's website calls it "Easy-to-read" with "large print" and a "slim design" that "invites you to explore God's Word anywhere, any time."

Besides a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.

QuoteDonald Trump 'Shake Up' Is Winning Over Democrats

A growing share of Democrats see former President Donald Trump as someone who will shake up the country for the better, poll trends show.

There has been a steady increase in the number of Democrats who see Trump in a positive light rather than as "a danger to democracy" who would further divide the U.S., according to a series of polls from Harvard CAPS/Harris.

Democrats also appear to be changing their minds about Trump. Although the former president has received low marks from Democrats throughout his political career, his general approval among Democrats has risen since he left office in 2021.

March's Harvard-Harris poll found that 29 percent of Democrats strongly or somewhat approve of the job that Trump did as commander-in-chief. In January 2020, only 14 percent of Democratic respondents told Harvard-Harris pollsters they approved of Trump's handling of the presidency.

If she can find any Cornel West supporters to steal from him I reckon she's welcome to 'em.

As someone most would consider "on the left" she doesn't move the needle toward RFKJr one tiny bit for me; all she does is further verify my perception of RFKJr as an egomaniac who only "dropped out" of the democrat party because they wouldn't hand him the nomination on a silver platter.

The only thing she brings to the table as RFKJr's veep is money.
She doesn't have any experience in governance. Like, literally zero experience.

I don't know why she agreed to do it but RFKJr's motivation is as clear as it is unserious.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on March 29, 2024, 08:51:13 PMWhen he first announced I admit I was a little excited.
He's a great orator and although he tends to lean a little too heavily on the religious stuff he's at least been rhetorically on the right side of many issues. The fact that he was running in the People's Party was also a plus as far as I was concerned; fuck the duopoly.

Then he left the People's Party, became a Green, then hired Peter Fucking Daou?!? No wait, he left the Greens too, Daou quits, and now he's an independent with even less ballot access than he had as a Green and no visible plan for how he could possibly win the presidency.

The whole process was, ah, uninspiring shall we say. I got the impression of someone severely lacking in organization and strategy who apparently believed he could simply coast in on name recognition alone.

It didn't help that he began sniping at people who had been supporters like Jimmy Dore and the folk at RBN. Then he even turned on Peter Daou and Jill Stein but not with anything specific... just vague statements about them being "untrustworthy" or the like.

There was more too but all that mess was enough to convince me he wasn't the one and these days I rarely hear anyone mention him out in the wild so I presume others have reached a similar conclusion.

He's a great orator and although he tends to lean a little too heavily on the religious stuff he's at least been rhetorically on the right side of many issues. The fact that he was running in the People's Party was also a plus as far as I was concerned; fuck the duopoly.

Then he left the People's Party, became a Green, then hired Peter Fucking Daou?!? No wait, he left the Greens too, Daou quits, and now he's an independent with even less ballot access than he had as a Green and no visible plan for how he could possibly win the presidency.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on April 02, 2024, 06:57:49 PMFor me? If Jill Stein gets the Green nomination (and I don't know why she wouldn't) I might vote for her, as I did in 2016. Or I might write in Vermin Supreme, or someone else.

All I know for sure is I won't be voting for a democrat or a republican.

A vote for the duopoly is a wasted vote.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on April 02, 2024, 08:25:03 PMAlthough with Biden it's both worse and the same because he's been in politics the whole time; it's really fucked up that despite such a long record of being a pathological liar, corporate tool, and warmongering wanksplat there are still people who think he's worth voting for.

The mind boggles.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on April 02, 2024, 08:25:03 PMOnly because too many people still can't bring themselves to abandon the duopoly.

But that's not my fault, nor is it a good reason to join them in their folly.

I've been voting 3rd party or independent especially in presidential elections since I've been old enough to vote and there's no way I'm about to change now when the choices offered by the democrats and republicans are arguably even worse than they were 40 years ago.

Quote from: Herman on April 02, 2024, 08:39:57 PMThere were some anti progs who would not vote for Vivek because his folks are from Southern India? If that is true, they are stupid assholes.

Nobody that isnt a God Fearing Jesus believing Christian is fit to lead America. I wouldnt support a jew running America either. I SURE AS FUCK would be incensed if a muhzie were at the helm. Thats grounds for an outright civil war.

I suggest reading what the founders wrote before making such ignorant statements.

Quote from: Lokmar on April 02, 2024, 10:01:37 PMThat was not what I was addressing.

QuoteA Wall Street Journal survey released Wednesday found Trump, 77, is leading in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia by between one and three percentage points and in North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada by at or more than the poll's four-point margin of error.

Biden, 81, and the former president are also tied in a head-to-head matchup in the blue wall state of Wisconsin, but the Democrat holds a three-point lead when adding in candidates from outside both of the major parties.

With the exception of North Carolina, the six states polled handed Biden his victory over Trump four years ago, driven in large part by a coalition of black, Hispanic and young voters.

That coalition is now flagging, with just 68% of black voters, 50% of voters under the age of 30 and 48% of Hispanic voters supporting the president for another term.

According to AP VoteCast, Biden won black voters in 2020 by 91 percentage points, Hispanic voters by 63 points and voters under 30 by 61 points.

The seven battleground states comprise 93 of the 270 Electoral College votes needed for either candidate to win in November — and Trump's lead in the six competitive contests holds even when factoring in third-party and independent candidates.

In all seven states surveyed, voters rated Biden's job performance negatively by margins of 16 percentage points or more.

Meanwhile, Trump received a negative job performance rating in just one of the seven states: Arizona.

By the issues, a majority of the voters said Trump was the better candidate to handle the economy and border security, with 54% and 52% backing the former president, respectively.

Just 34% said Biden was the better pick for dealing with the economy, and 32% favored the president on immigration issues.

Quote from: Herman on April 03, 2024, 07:16:53 PMI was going to post about this. I was kind of surprised to see that RFK is helping Biden in some states, like Wisconsin for example.

Quote from: Herman on April 08, 2024, 06:46:32 PMTrump announced today that he will not back a national abortion ban. Ge said the issue should be left to states to decide. :good:

Quote from: Lokmar on April 08, 2024, 06:55:13 PMAs it should be EXCEPT, 100% of third tri abortions should be completely off the table, ZERO exceptions!!! There is absolutely no fucking reason to do one of these. EVER!

Quote from: Herman on April 08, 2024, 06:57:56 PMI agree with Trump, abortion should be left up to the states. He has basically taken this issue away from the democRATs with his sensible position.

Quote from: Lokmar on April 08, 2024, 07:03:19 PMAbortion in the third tri should be treated as manslaughter at the very least. That kid is completely viable outside the womb.

Quote from: Herman on April 08, 2024, 07:16:52 PMLet the states decide. Trump knows that making abortion an issue is not going to win him any new votes. Look at the US midterms. The Supreme Court decision cost the GOP a red wave.

Quote from: Lokmar on April 08, 2024, 09:11:30 PMAbsolutely positively NOT!!!! The states have ZERO rights to decide if a viable human being aborted is murder. None whatsoever. The right to life is Constitutional. Want a scrape, get it in the first tri and get it in a state that allows it. I swear, I'd see ANYONE and EVERYONE who participated in the abortion of a normal 3rd tri baby executed....preferable burned at the stake!!!

Quote from: Herman on April 08, 2024, 09:15:07 PMLook smartass, do you want to lose the next election, including the House and Senate? If Trump talks abortion instead of borders and gas prices, that is what will happen. Let states decide. Trump is being smart.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 08, 2024, 09:18:32 PMBro -- I hear you... I Used to feel the same

but look at it this way. States like Oregon and Cali will be providing drive thru abortions in like every fucking zipcode

hell, it'll get to a point where you can pick up an abortion, some booze and fentanyl in the same run... and what does that mean? More libtard scum will be getting rid of more future libtard scum

I am all fucking for that. The less seamajors and admongs in the world the better

Let them kill themselves off up until the day of delivery and beyond as far as I'm concerned 

Quote from: Lokmar on April 08, 2024, 09:22:15 PMSorry, I cant go there. Its abhorrent.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 08, 2024, 09:23:06 PMI used to feel the same

but it's liberals we're talking about here. They can take their sins up with God.

Quote from: Lokmar on April 08, 2024, 09:26:45 PMThere is no way in good conscience I can ever turn a blind eye to that kind of slaughter of innocents.

Gassing blue haired libtards that already had the chance to make their informed choice? I'm all for it.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 08, 2024, 09:29:15 PMI can

and I look at it this way

there is a 95% chance or greater that the blue haired degenerate is going to teach that child how to be a degenerate to.. and in 18 years what will you have? A degenerate with a serious head start and the ability to vote

fuck.. oh yeah, I'm all for drive through abortions

any time they want one

just keep it confined to their own shitholes

Quote from: Lokmar on April 08, 2024, 09:21:26 PMSmartass? WTF? You go right ahead and defend outright murder all day long because you're too much of a moral coward to risk losing an election. I would'nt care if they said they would execute my entire family! 3rd tri abortions are straight up MURDER!

Quote from: Herman on April 08, 2024, 09:51:14 PMI am pro choice. But, not after the first trimester.

But, that aint my point. The US has federal elections this year. Trump aint going to gain any votes by making an issue out of abortion. It may even cost him some independent votes. If you want an abortion ban do it at the state level. This election is too important to lose over an issue like abortion. Trump is smart to recognize that even though you don't.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 08, 2024, 09:25:20 PMDove is going to be so upset with me... lolz


now, if they try to impose these kinds of day of delivery abortions on the Good people of Florida I'm gonna have a real problem

keep your dogshit in places like Oregon and Cali where it belongs.

Quote from: Dove on April 09, 2024, 08:11:55 AMNot upset.

 I don't agree at all and I'd ask you to really pull this apart to the core and reconsider.

 As long as abortion is legal, we have no fundamental right to our lives. That's the foundation of all our other rights.

 We simply cannot accept the philosophical concept of personhood that permits abortion. We cannot allow the degrading of human life. Making humans into property.

 Allowing abortion put us on the fast track to all the other depravity we have today. 

 I would literally die on this hill. If I compromised on this....it cheapens and wrecks my entire value system.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 09, 2024, 08:55:58 AMI get all that but this election is far too important to risk based on the lives of some libtard fetuses which will one day grow up to be the very people who ruin this country further

nah... let them vacuum the little fuckers out as much as they want to. Just keep it in their own blue cesspools and I am A okay with it.

This was Mike Pence's big issue and what did he poll at? 4% in the primaries?

this is a losing ticket for any conservative and the mongs on the left know it. Trump was brilliant to kick it back in their laps and as you can see they are STILL making him out to be the devil on the matter... can you imagine the panic and hysteria they could incite if he did take a hardliner stance?

I'm prolife with caveats - indeed I am and proud of it

Quote from: Lokmar on April 09, 2024, 09:21:01 AMThe problem is, the narrative is STILL, "Republicans want to take away all abortion". Any compromise will net zero results. Not 2 days ago, they were focused on Florida's 6 week ban and how it could spread across the nation. Even if all CON's agreed to 5 months, the narrative is still going to be "abortion gonna be illegal!"

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 09, 2024, 09:29:12 AMYes it is, and to the average brain dead libtard cretin it always will be. No matter what our actual position is. Look no further than seamajor if you wish to witness the mind decay of libtardism in real time and how pointless it is to have a conversion requiring any depth with a fucking guy who has the IQ of tuna fish can.

we are not trying to win these blue hair soy boy morons over tho... they are nonredeemable and too stupid to do anything but follow whatever orders are disseminated to them on the view

we are looking to keep/win over the undecided independent thinkers who can look at the situation objectively and say to themselves "making this a state issue is the fairest option and is directly in line with what the constitution outlines on the matter"  -- we lose those people in droves if we take the hardliner approach and lose the election. And for what.. to protect future libtards? Nah, I ain't for that. If future libtards gotta go they go

Quote from: Lokmar on April 09, 2024, 09:44:06 AMObviously, I cant read the minds of all those people but I've NEVER talked to a fair minded person of ANY political persuasion that thought aborting a 7 month old baby was anything other than repulsive.

Now thats not to say I reject Trumps declaration. I completely agree abortion should be a states rights issue EXCEPT when that kid is viable. At the very least, if that kid can be pulled out of its mom and survive unaided by medical intervention, it needs to be illegal to butcher it. From a casual stroll through the inferwebs, that is somewhere between 25 to 28 weeks.

Do fucking mail-in abortions if you fucking need to

Quote from: caskur on April 09, 2024, 06:49:58 PMif you want to stop abortion then better care of an embryo and fetus should be execised.

you have to make sure pregnant women dont drink, take drugs or smoke so babies aren't burdened with Foetal Alcohol Syndrom, in other words, cut down how many retarded children are born.

it's unfair to disadvantage people and our society that have to look after them a whole lifetime.
