Bonus! You live in Belgium.

Let's just go back to the first line and call it even.

It's our country... not yours. 

 

And I am merely wondering why you fellows keep grandstanding about being the best there is while in the meantime declaring everything present an absolute pile of shit.

 

Anyway, MAGA be MAGA, seems your Speaker, with his past as adoptive father to a black kid, has felt the divide in oppertunity of having a different racial background. He has spoken at lenght about this past (and present) while making comments surrounding various racially charged events in the (recent) past. One such events was about Mike Floyd, which he called "an act of murder", in which he now has drawn the ire of the MAGA-crowd for being a secret lefty Democrat...

 

So again, MAGA be MAGA and no true Scotsman can be found cause nobody is as vile as they wish themselfes to be...

Sounds like a whole lot of gossip and hooey... and the name of the criminal was George Floyd.

[onbekende]

Politics runs on gossip and hooey, more so when outrage is the end result.

Wow... Trump just crushed it in Iowa tonight. They called it 30 minutes after their caucus shut down.

Stick a fork in this nomination... it's DONE.

 

Maybe they should try to turn him into a criminal? Several dozen indictments ought to do the trick.

Well, that's not working out so well.

 

Hey, maybe they can call him an "Insurrectionist", pull a butt-spider out of their butt with a dose of Civil War era lingo.

That should be enough to disqualify Trump from the ballots... right? Uh... nope... that's not working either.

 

Maybe they can get China to release another "It's gonna kill us all" virus. You know... lock downs, mask mandates, and mail-in ballots?

That way Joe can hide in his basement, and they can cheat again!

 

No... they won't fall for that again.

 

I think heads are starting to explode, and the lie machine is gonna go full tilt. Buckle up people, it's gonna get rough.

You know the absolute best thing about the American political system? It makes me feel better about being Scottish.

A most beautiful country, and great actors. Justin Currie and Del Amitri are a favorite of mine. I would really like to see Scotland.

[Reilstrap]

It is a lovely beautiful country, as long as you avoid the cities

[onbekende]

Atleast the Republican primary is thinning out faster then 2016, sadly no weird Trump remarks during debates to entertain the masses.

 

Lys, just admit he is a crook, but your crook.

 

 

Wait, Scotland has cities? I thought you only had desolate highlands of grass and scattered rocks

[Reilstrap]

Pfft course Scotland has cities, we are the best nation in the world! We built the world!

Pretty sad competition in the republican party, what's your plan if trump wins? He will not be allowed to run for a third term, who's the next republican candidate? Sad truth is you don't have one. The reason why trump is so popular on the right is because all the other candidates are hot trash.

Trump will only need 4 years to fix things. He now knows he needs to clean house first. He knows who to fire immediately, and he knows who to hire immediately to fire everyone else down the food chain. New blood and a focused agenda.

 

Who is next? I'm still a Ron DeSantis fan. He should have stayed out as soon as he knew Trump would run. Running against Trump has hurt him... but not nearly as bad as it hurt Nikki Haley. She's pretty much toast now. Can you say "Jeb Bush"? Yeah... it's that bad.

 

Something happened today that I see as a possible VP choice. Trump took the stage in New Hampshire and brought up Vivek Ramaswamy... and he killed it for an amazing Trump endorsement. Makes me think this has been planned. We shall see.

 

Republicans have a very deep bench, but it's hard to get them all behind one candidate. Democrats are too easy... it's like herding sheep.

[Reilstrap]

Let's be honest guys your country is wayyy past being "great" again. Changing the figure head every 4/8 years, who has no real power, will do nothing when their boss doesn't change. Greed and corruption took a grip a long time ago. 

 

With the debt your country has and no possible way to pay it back your country will fall, sadly due to it's size it will take many others with it.

This is my biggest fear. Too many just don't care, and I think you're right... it's way too late.

My only hope is that we can stop the bleeding and keep things livable for as long as possible.

The people here don't understand how bad it will be when their cash is suddenly worth nothing.

I'm thinking about selling my houses and moving to a rural city... my houses are worth quite a lot right now.

The problem is... I don't believe people can afford the mortgage payments.

[Reilstrap]

Yeah it is a huge worry, living in the middle of nowhere, with land to grow on and guns to protect your land would be the most sensible thing to do. Sadly for me and many others the ripple, as it always does, will affect us all. 

 

But until that time there is not jack that any of us can do to change it, so no point worrying lol.

And all poor people are looking for a free meal, drop the clichés. But the current "crook" part is about him openly admitting to taking foreign government money for "services rendered", whatever that may be.

 

He allows your agenda to be brought forward, but he hardly himself believes it, let alone supports it. Trump supports 1 thing: Trump.

Heard that last time, half his cabinet resigned before he trashed them publicly, other half he did that before they ran off. And the only agenda he has is 13 days long, cause damn you guys were promised lots of stuff 'in 2 weeks"...

I have actually stayed in Trump hotels, and I was never asked by anyone if I worked for a foreign government. According to your desired requirement, no one in US leadership is able to do business without invasive screening and denial of service... or is it just Donald Trump you want this restriction on?

 

It must be okay to sell your vote, collect checks from bogus board seats, accept gold bars from drug lords, manipulate stocks, sell garbage passed off as art, incite war, cause global panic and lie about it, rig elections, weaken the military, humiliate the police, falsely accuse political opponents of crime, destroy the economy, cripple energy, encourage open theft and vandalism, ignore immigration laws... I could go on and on. It's absolute insanity... and prime directives of Socialists in order to destroy the most successful Capitalist nation ever.

 

I promise you... we will stop you.

Well I have enjoyed socialized healthcare without having to show my Communist membership card, to each their own I'd guess >_>.

But no, your Constitution prohibits Presidents receiving any $$ from foreign governments, in whatever fashion it may be presented. Sure all other Presidents just devested themselfes and would probably have gotten the windfall post-presidency anyway, but even Trump never did so. And lets not ignore that his taxes are still under audit...

To lazy to quote myself from the past, but I would be FOR throwing the book at any illegality perpetrated by whichever political party affiliated the person hails from.

 

And we are back the the crackpot conspiracies about socialists. Guess I should be happy I stopped being a communist...

So yeah, we did hear about him hiring only the best and later on trashtalking those same people he hired...

The right is bad, everyone knows it.

 

If it wasn't for the over 50 vote, the right would be a minor party.

Joe Biden had a very bad day yesterday. The good news for him is he will not be charged for his illegal possession and incompetent storage of mass amounts of classified documents. The bad news for him is the reason why they are not charging him. They won't charge him because he has dementia and is incapable of standing trial. I think he would have rather been charged.

 

If Joe is too demented to stand trial... how can he possibly remain as President?

 

This has Democrats in a real dilemma. If Joe wants to run, there is no way to stop him... he is the incumbent. They have to convince him not to run and complete his term. The only other way is for them to call up the 25th Amendment and take him out of office. Fine and dandy, but this makes Kamala Harris President... and she will then insist on running as the incumbent.

 

On the other hand... Donald Trump had an absolute splendid day!
