US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

[The Future’s Blue!]

Madness from top to bottom.

- Here’s a picture of the incoming defense secretary—some knock-off Dagestani/Albanian mobster wannabe. He wasn’t considered fit for a senior position at a television station, yet somehow, the incoming president thinks he’s a good fit for his administration.

- Then there’s a deranged woman who bragged about killing her dog, lied about staring down Kim Jong Il (despite him having passed away before she entered public office), and claims to uphold Christian family values while being pounded by every thing with 2 legs in Capitol Hill (and this is not me being sexist, look up Noem and Lewandoski...not the footballer)

- And finally, there’s the skin crawling, repulsive pedo who looks like what I could only describe as the product of Jack Nicholson having a baby for the Grinch. Americans are fucked; this is what happens when hatred clouds good judgment.

I’m unsure where America is heading, and it is for us to abide by their peoples decision, but looking at their picks so far, it doesn’t look to be an inclusive society.

When Kevin McCarthy holds the morale high ground over the potential appointment of Gaetz as AG, you know things are seriously fucked up.

I can't wait for the announcement of the roles he has set aside for Handsy McBoebert and the Jewish Space Laser 'lady'.

I think most foreign policy experts ( even those who despise Trump) will still disagree with you on the above framing.

Genuinely interested to know which experts disagree with that framing.

I've read many opinions on this by experts in their respective fields, at that time and since, and the framing I believe is a true reflection of them. There are a few of those aligned with Trump who tend to overstate his role in it, but all acknowledge that this was well underway before he came on the scene and that what was needed was a compliant US president willing to go against the grain of decades of US Foreign policy within the region to achieve it.

Some experts on the Middle East argued at the time that Trump facilitating the agreements between Israel and the Arab states without requiring progress on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and his hardline stance on Iran would see an escalation of tensions within the region. And so it played out.

It was the thawing of a Frosty relationship.

Barely a snowflake melted in this thaw. It was pure PR from both sides.

Yes. Well "they" was originally a reference to the actual shooters. But there is no doubt that Democrats and their rhetoric inspired it.

Unless, that rule only applies one way.

There are still many unknowns about the first shooter. The second is quite clearly mentally unwell. So neither can be attributed to any rhetoric from the Democrats.

Fair enough. Let's stick to what we know. It was utter incompetence. Which is probably worse.

Agreed, monumental incompetence.

Trump directed FEMA to withhold help after disasters to Democratic constituencies?? Humm I missed that reporting. If you say so then let’s add it to the list!!

It happened in CA, until someone with half a brain told him that while CA votes Blue as a State, the OC was a Red stronghold!

“Oh, well then, send them what they need!”

Absolute ****.

His “get rid of anyone involved in the woke bullshit and get women in combat roles out of the military, and fire the Joint Chiefs of Staff” might be his downfall. LOTS of YouTube video of him spouting the kind of stuff you’d expect from a guy that looks like that and superimposes an AR as a stripe on the flag on his arm.

Huh, Trump showing his real cards.
Go figure

Not to mention the evangelicals...

There is a podcast by the great Jon Ronson about this:

It's the early 1970s. Frank Schaeffer is an American kid living in the Swiss Alps – the son of an influential Christian art historian - who daydreams of one day making Hollywood films. But for that he needs a show-reel to prove himself. The ripples of Frank's creative ambitions will help trigger one of America's most violent culture wars around the legalization of abortion and Roe vs Wade.

It's a really good series of podcasts that. Explains an awful lot.

There’s not really any point in complaining about this. Was all perfectly predictable. A credibly accused pedophile as Attorney General nominee. And even if not, wholly unqualified on every level. But Trump doesn't need to worry about disloyalty. And the reds will knuckle under in fear and cowardice, like always.
