US Politics Thread

Can only think of one reason Trump would have kept nuclear weapons related info and documents after leaving office, and it doesn't come as much of a shock. He is a Putin stooge and nothing but a fucking spy.

Not even sure it’s just Putin. He probably just sees their resale value and will sell them to whoever pays most.

On the eve of the result, I keep remembering.

I think of 2016 after Trump won. The prediction of World War 3, nuclear holocaust, rounding up and imprisonment of minorities, legalised murder, fascist dictatorships and the KKK.

What did we get? Basically nothing. No big wars, no genocides or tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue, no war with Russia or Syria, no concentration camps for Muslims. In the end we got a strongly opinionated and pretty uncouth standard Republican. Legislatively, the country is almost no different now than it was 4 years ago - no major changes have been made outside of the SCOTUS which is basically a luck of the draw type thing depending on when people retire or die, and even that's a continuation of existing legislation rather than a change to the structure.

All that energy, all that paranoia and screeching and impotent rage and what actually changed as far as the US is concerned from 4 years ago? Very little. Nothing that can't be changed back in about a month. Trump's Presidency had exactly the impact that I always believed it would and the predictions led where I always believed they would.

In 10 years nobody will remember a single detail of his Presidency and instead they'll be focused on the next Republican who is definitely a racist fascist and going to be the end of us all, just like Trump was, just like Romney was, just like Bush was. Hell, he might even become a figure of "well he wasn't that bad" if he gives out some sweets to the First Lady and does a bit of painting.

When I think of the last 4 years, I won't think of what the US right gained but instead what the US left lost. They lost their perspective, they lost their rationality and they lost their moral high ground. They lost their minds. And all for a one note no mark President who didn't achieve anything and will have no historical impact at all. Sad to see. Let's hope that Trump Derangement Syndrome as the right called it was always a real thing and once he's out of office, some semblance may return.

Today I am reminded of this post on another thread by the king of "I'm smarter than all of you put together".

The height of arrogance combined with the height of being absolutely fucking peak wronger than fuck.

Coincidentally the two posters that liked it are both on my ignore list.

Thought about doing the same thing. Saved me a job :)

If we are being honest there is a good chance he was just taken in by Trump's performance in WWE and still nursing a semi when he posted that.

ironically, you tend to skip a REALLY crucial question (par for the course on here) in what do the Dems have to offer in actual policy? Nobody has answered that really easy question.

You like to dance around it.

What have they offered in policy that they achieved for the people in their quest to seek 'friends' across the aisle?

So far, I see both in agreement on war and funding war, lack of healthcare and wage suppression.

But the Dems are specialists in fear. Look at how they begged for funding off RvW!

You people...
