US Politics Thread

I appear to have missed something. I saw that there was a press conference, but not what about.

Trump & co lied (really badly*) that they didn't have the search warrant for the FBI raid on Mar a Lago and portrayed it as an unfounded, illegal raid by a politically controlled FBI and started shouting about how the warrant should be published to prove it was bullshit.

The republican media machine went after the (Trump appointed) judge and the (Trump appointed) head of the FBI and Merrick Garland, so Garland held a press conference and revealed what everyone with a brain already knew, Trump & his lawyers did have the search warrant. Not only that, but they're petitioning the court to make it public.

So now Trump is in a pickle because a) Everyone knows he has the warrant and can release it himself, and b) Now has to say publicly in court whether he wants it made public which means either saying yes and a document that clearly incriminates him is released, or no and the fact he's trying to cover up a document while yelling about it getting published is laid bare.



*On the day of the raid, Trump's lawyer went on Fox News and described what the warrant said, before they switched tactics to denying ever getting the warrant.

Are you this dense?

It's FACTUAL that Trump used extremely similar issues to get voters on side, which helped him get the presidency.

What, are you one of these clowns that thought all voters that got him in were racists???

He got in based on lack of action from Dems, lack of healthcare, jobs going overseas, lack of wages, people losing their homes in the 2008 crash/ fleecing and no one of any substantial note going to jail, but being bailed out and people getting nothing in the same instance.

Jog on, man.

Thanks. I perceive that you are amused greatly by this.

The lie is hilarious though.

Trump has bitten off more than he can chew this time. Only his rabid base are dumb enough to fall for this shit.

The domino's are starting to tumble.

Hey everyone,

Remember when Bernie Sanders campaigned on a Muslim ban? That was fun.

Remember how the crowds at Sanders rallies used to chant about locking up Hillary Clinton and building a border wall.

Remember when Sanders campaigned on forcibly removing all illegal immigrants in the country?

You live in a fucking fantasy.

Trump campaigned on repealing Obamacare and going back to pre-2012. Sanders campaigned on Nationalised Healthcare for everyone. They are literally the polar opposite policies.

Sanders didn't campaign on jobs going overseas because he's not a fucking moron and knew the number of jobs in the USA had grown every single year under Obama.

Trumps 2017 tax bill cut corporation tax from 35 to 21%. Literally the opposite of what Sanders wanted. He dropped the top tax rate from 40% to 37% when Sanders wanted it to be 52%.

In fact Sanders hated Trumps tax bill so much he keeps introducing legislature to reverse it!

Bernie Sanders unveils plan to raise corporate tax rate to 35% and ban stock buybacks

Sanders, who is recovering from a heart attack, reveals the new tax plan a day before the third Democratic debate.

No one, and I mean this, no one is dumber than the fucking morons who voted for Trump because Sanders lost the Democratic primary.

Did he have any intention of actually doing anything he promised... I mean besides building a wall and Muslim bans?

Oh he didn't, so it is pointless comparing an independent political activist with a drug-addicted illiterate man-child.

No, but this is really important. THEY NEVER SHARED ANY POLICIES.

Bernie Sanders fucking despises Trump and damn near all of his policy pledges, kept or unkept.

If Trump campaigned on similar policies to Sanders and broke his word, you could forgive people who thought they were closer to each other than the mainstream democrats. The truth, however, is they never shared any similarities and people who jumped from Sanders to Trump did it out of childish spite because their guy lost, and in doing so they made their own lives and so many others much worse.

Because they are idiots.

I'm probably going to make a fool of.myself by saying this, but i truly believe America is headed for civil war within the next 2/3 years.

They were on the brink in January. Got to rely on the cooler heads that prevail in that place and that is the coasts where people with sense go after jobs and make a life. The middle and south bits would have a civil war tomorrow and they can say what they like, this is the reaction to having had a black president

That last sentence explains why their spokesman on Bluemoon never posts anything other than unadulterated garbage and childish insults.
