Title: POTUS 2024 POTPOURRI
Post by: RE on May 06, 2024, 11:57 AM
New thread to keep tabs on the competition to see who gets to Captain the Titanic on its way to the bottom of Davey Jones Locker.
Latest Rumour: Uncle Joe will nominate Michelle Obama to run for the Demdope niminaation instead of himself.
If true, this would be the first really smart move by the Dem party in recent memory.
#1- ANYBODY would be better than Uncle Joe.
#2- MO has great name recognition & experience hobnobbing with other figureheads in the Nation-State cocktail party circuit
#3- Black & Female guarantees turnout and large margin of victory in both demographics over Trumpovetsky
Since it is a smart move, unfortunately this lowers the possibility it will actually happen. If it is to happen, one would think it should be pretty soon, rather than waiting for the convention. Obviously, they're floating a trial balloon to see what the Poll numbers show. I would look for an announcement in June.

Despite incendiary rhetoric over the net, if you buy the political analysts' spin from the Atlantic we still have a while to wait for the Rabid Dogs of MAGA to come out full force with their AR-15s and mow down liberals in the street.
Probably not too soon to order some Kevlar from Amazon though.

Will Da Judge have the Cojones to actually lock up The Donald "VonShitzinPants"? That would definitely get the MAGA vermin foaming at the mouth. Does he get Secret Service protection while in prison? What about a Cellmate? Someone to keep him warm on those lonely prison nights. How about showers?
Since an Appeal is baked in the cake, does he get to stay out on Parole during the appeal process? Wear an ankle monitor? Is he allowed to use a cell phone?
There was no way I could watch the "debate" between the 2 Alzheimers Poster Children vying for the position of POTUS DEMENTUS. I didn't even try and watched the Olympic Trials instead.
As it turns out, the best possible outcome came for the Demodopes, Uncle Joe apparently was SOOO awful numerous party hacks are calling for an Open Convention to hopefully find someone with some working brain cells to carry the party banner in November. Of course, most of them spoke anonymously since they lack the guts to break with the party machine until they come to some sort of consenssus in the back room. They don't want to seem "divided".
At the moment also, there is nobody with any kind of national political recognition willing to step up and say they will run for POTUS as a Democrat. This would be a great moment for an Actor or Pro Sports star who registers Dem to call a press conference and announce. Is Scarlett Johannsen a Dem? What about Kareem Abdul Jabbar? He writes on politics I think. Michael Jordan? What about a Rock Star? Bruce Springsteen? How about Billionaires? Isn't Melinda Gates a liberal?
Definitely increases the likelihood that the Dem Convention will be a total shitshow.
The reality is you would have to be out of your mind to wanna be Prez now, which is why we have 2 guys who are precisely that running. Who wants to be Captain of a sinking ship?

History is full of situations were strong leadership emerged to give a dying civilization a few more years.
This will not be one of those times, and I will not be voting.
I have become a stranger in a strange land. There are no American politicians worth supporting. None have a center, all blow with the wind. They blow where money directs. In which ever direction pays them. Civic duty is dead. an Anachronistic notion. In America, now unknown.
All Americans can think about is electing the rich and connected.
They cannot imagine another way. So brainwashed are they.

Here is another take on the debate :
Donald Trump is getting away with it Opinion by Zack Beauchamp • 12h • 2 min read
Three separate times during Thursday night's debate, CNN's moderators asked Donald Trump if he would commit to accepting the legitimacy of the 2024 election results regardless of who won. He never did.
Instead, Trump said that he'd accept the results if he thought they were "fair and legal and good" — while at the same time repeating the false claim that the 2020 election was shot through with fraud (a claim that the moderators let stand).
Put together, the former president was all but openly telling us that he's ready to repeat the campaign of lies and incitement that produced a mob attack on the Capitol less than four years ago. (He did offer a rote rejection of political violence.)
That all of this felt normal, even expected, shows how much Donald Trump has warped our sense of what's tolerable in America. Here was an authoritarian spouting falsehoods, ranting incoherently about policy, issuing thinly veiled threats against democracy, and somehow we've come to accept it.
We're all so used to this behavior, in fact, that we have trouble reminding ourselves how dangerous it is. I can guarantee Trump's comments on the election won't be the top headline at any major newspaper in the country.
That honor will likely go to Joe Biden's poor performance, and I can understand why. The president of the United States barely stringing a cogent answer together for the first hour of a nationally televised debate is indeed a major story. It seems like the critics warning about Biden's age had a point.
But there's something quietly obscene about Trump's naked authoritarianism falling out of the frame. It wasn't only these few comments about election results: It was his entire performance, a cavalcade of lies that betrayed a staggering contempt for the American public's intelligence. On Thursday night, an authoritarian put his distaste for democracy on open display. Opposite him was a man who claims to care about democracy above all else but has seemed wholly incapable of considering whether there might be some tension between its future and his own ambitions.
Blame Biden for running again. Blame the Democratic Party for failing to stop him. Blame CNN for burying the democracy questions halfway through the debate. Blame the Republicans for nominating Trump. Blame Trump, most of all, for acting the way he chooses to act — and his voters for standing by him while he does it.
Trump reminded us tonight that he is uniquely unfit for office and hostile to our democracy. The fact that those qualities have lost their ability to shock underscores just how much the man has bent our politics to his will.
Title: Second House Democrat calls for Biden to withdraw from presidential race
Post by: RE on Jul 03, 2024, 02:11 PM
Well, Dems are now publicly calling for Uncle Joe to resign. Which really means he has to, because if he runs he's a total target for the VALID criticism that he is too cognitively impaired to be running the country. If he doesn't drop out within 2 weeks I will be shocked.
This leaves 3 questions:
1- Will Uncle Joe endorse Kamala as the new candidate?
2- Will the delegates vote for her at the convention?
3- Will whoever they nominate be able to beat #VonShitzinPants in November?
The convention also apparently will have online voting before the live convention, which makes it even more confusing.

Post by: RE on Jul 03, 2024, 11:58 PM
Didn't take long for the Snowball to start rolling.
The interview he's supposed to do with StooPooDopolis to reassure everybody he still has his marbles should be quite entertaining. The question is will he treat him with Kid Gloves and throw him Softballs nice and slow or will he bring the HEAT and rapid fire questions like "What if the Chinese invade Taiwan after your bedtime?" or "What happens if you forget the Nuclear codes when there are Ruskie ICBMs incoming?". Or maybe just ask him EZ questions like "What's the State Capitol of Kentucky?" or "What are the 1st 10 Ammendments to the Constitution called?" or "Who is buried in Grant's tomb?". lol.
There simply is no way he can get out of this mess. It's like being asked "When did you stop Beating your Wife?" Or being accused of being a Child Molester. Doesn't matter if you're proven innocent, all people remember is that you were accused of it. The only question is how long it will take for him to capitulate. Supposedly the real driving force here for staying in it is Jill Biden, who likes being 1st Lady and being the Hostess with the Mostess for White House parties. She doesn't wanna give up her station yet and fade into the sunset.
Finally, while publicly they're all saying they'll back Kamala, I don't think she really is that popular. Plus there are other ambitious wannabees who will want to jump at the opportunity. So the whole nominating process will be a clusterfuck for sure.
Joe does not know who she is anymore so he can't endorse her. The upper crust of the Democratic party might endorse her, and then have Joe scribble on paper to make it happen.
The un-named powers behind the POTUS would then have a new inarticulate chewer of word salad to do their bidding. Whatever that is. But it will all be good. People won't give a shit. They don't now, so nothing will change.
Another speaker of inarticulate word salad, and we do not even have to wait for her to get old.

"Joe's Gotta Go". New cheer "Joe's Gotta Go!", everybody "Joe's Gotta Go!", Jill will not like that. And who is Kamala?
I think there will be a new dark horse to appear. No one knows her yet, but she will rise amidst this climate fog, and will see her as the new world emperor! Ha! Clusterfuck is more like it. Britain just went pro-Israel. So more colonialism policies and the wealth gap continues to increase right in front of the masses who are fighting for the crumbs now...just wait till Trump gets in. What if Trump has a melt down, and turns human. :) His hair turns brown and he he initiates a UBI, and a four day work week. Takes care of the taxes by making a Maximum yearly wage at $500,000 to be taxed 70-80%. No one makes less than $50,000 tax 0%. Pipe Dream.
Yep a Clusterfuck is what the next 50 years will be, beginning today.

The "Joe's gotta Go" chant gets louder by the day, but so far he's not budging, waiting for God to speak to him while he's napping. This article brings up the possibility they'll invoke the 25th Ammendment if he refuses to budge. Given the short amount of time left here before the convention , it's hard to imagine how this would play out. There would have to be cognitive testing and debate, and the longer it drags on the better for Trumpovetsky.
The best oossibility is the money people pulling out, once Auntie Jill sees the $$$ disappear she might see reality. Still no real good window on the new candidate. Looks better for el Trumpo every day.
To "graze his ear" and not touch his head, the shot has to come from nearly directly in front or behind and to the side of the target ear. If the shooter is above, the graze would have a downward angle. From below, an upward angle. Of course Trump might have his head turned right or left at the moment the shot was fired, but that would be amazing timing. Shot came from a roof 130 yards away.
Shooter has the appropriate 3 names, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Graduated HS in 2022 having won a $500 Math & Science award. No criminal record. Not even a traffic ticket. No bankruptcies, liens or foreclosures. So why does a recent white HS grad math nerd decide to pull the trigger on his Trumpness, and manage to miss the kill shot at 130 yards by inches? Then, why does the Secret Service find it necessary to kill him on the spot when he almost surely could have been non-fatally wounded? Unless he shot himself, but that hasn't been alleged.
Obviously, I find this shooting very suspicious. Will anyone turn up with a cell phone video? Will said video be real or an AI produced "Deep Fake"? Why does this assassination attempt take place right while Uncle Joe is being ripped to shreds in the MSM for being senile? How will this affect future public appearances and rallies during the campaign by El Trumpo or whoever the Dem opponent ends up as? If it wasn't a "Lone Gunman" shooting and is in fact a Conspiracy, who is behind it? If the Bloody Ear was in fact FAKED, how did they cut his ear during the melee and confusion following the shooting?
To be sure, we will not get any answers to these questions which are any more believable than the Lone Gunman explanation. It will however occupy the Newz Cycle constantly right up to election day. It pretty much guarantees a Trump victory in the election.

Yes, inches away from infamy. Crooks misses. Life is stranger than fiction, and Crooks dies a failure. I wonder if the thought went through his head before it was exploded by the secret service just how much he fucked up. I doubt it.
The thing is, Trump is not worth taking out. Trump is not the problem. American voters are the problem. With Trump gone you still have the MAGA army of ignorance who will soon enough find a new leader eager to do their thinking for them.
Twilight of empire is what it is. The Zeitgeist of a necrotic society will not cultivate civic or social responsibility. For every saint the troubles of collapse may cultivate, a hundred broken men and women are made by the same troubles. This ensures chaos will rule. The century of the self now cultivates a century of death.
QuoteWhy does the Secret Service find it necessary to kill him on the spot when he almost surely could have been non-fatally wounded?
Fascism rules by brute force. Taking a shooter OUT is TOP priority. It sends the appropriate message and if any bystanders are taken out that is totally acceptable and will result in ZERO disciplinary action regardless of how reckless and unnecessary taking Crooks out may have been. Taking the shooter out is the standing order. You can be sure of it. Murder by police is NOT a crime in America.
Crooks was taken out because everybody knows, that is how it goes.
I'm lucky I wasn't taken out when I flipped George Bush the bird. Would I do it again?
No, the risk/reward is not worth it.
With Trump gone the FSOA is still the FSOA. With Trump gone the FSOA still collapses. So the shooting was a stupid thing for Crook's to do. Blow-back makes Crook's effort worse than counterproductive. But what does a 20 year old know?
The William McKinley assassination was done by an 'anarchist' 1901. In the aftermath fear of anarchists led to surveillance programs which were eventually consolidated in 1908 as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Anti-anarchist laws passed in the wake of the McKinley assassination lay dormant for some years before being used during and after World War I, against non-citizens whose views were deemed a threat.
Down the road Crook's failure may result in the Diner getting put out of business. The Secret Service is our largest fan. That is not my imagination. I really did give George Bush the finger, and I was standing in front of our car when I did it. Next to our front license plate. They knew who I was before I got home.
The thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. Neither which Crooks knows. Because he no longer exists.
"I'm trapped dealing with the outside, let me out I'm trapped on the inside, let me out Hope dying slowly
You wonder that Crooks was taken out. In the old days Crooks would have been disemboweled, and while still alive, he would enjoy watching his intestines being burnt in a fire. When that happens I suppose you figure out you are driving down a one way street. Cul-de-sac ahead. You just want it over. Which happens after you were hung, but not hung until you were dead. As you were cut into four pieces after four horses tried to pull you apart you expired. My description may not have all the steps in the right order. I do not care. It was unpleasant.
Modernity does away with the drawing and quartering. The public cruelty of the old days had a serious drawback. It sent a message of terror well enough, it kept people in line. It quashed the rebellious spirit. But it also fostered discontent and made martyrs of people.
Modernity knows the better approach is to blow the brains out. End the story. Then a would-be hero becomes nothing. Not even a legend in their own mind. A forgotten footnote of history. Soon enough to be erased for all time after the FSOA falls and all the digital footnotes vanish.
Leon Czolgosz's his name is in books. Leon was taken alive after shooting McKinley. After his execution Leon's body was dissolved in acid, but it will take centuries before his name is gone from all the books it is printed in. Crooks does not get his name in a book. His memory will last as only as long as the power stays on. I do not think encyclopedias are printed any more.

The FBI is having trouble trying to understand what motivated Thomas Matthew Crooks to try and assassinate Trump.
From people who knew him.
Quote"He was super smart. That's what really kind of threw me off was, this was, like, a really, really smart kid, like he excelled," the classmate said. "Nothing crazy ever came up in any conversation."
One would think the FBI would be smart too. They are all college graduates, smart in this sort of way themselves.
But apparently the mental horsepower to solve this riddle is lacking. Despite being given the answer. They can't seem to figure it out.
Maybe they should ask a Diner. This is not a hard question.

At least somebody in the MSM is asking the relevant questions. Will we get any reasonable answers to these questions? The whole thing stinks so bad it's like the 3 Stooges do Conspiracy movie. Its definitely the kind of thing a really dumb bunch of right wing yahoos would plan, except for the part where Trumpsky gets the Bloody Ear. That can't actually be from a bullet, the shooter wouldn't have put the bullets anywhere near him. So that part takes an insider, or fantastic luck with a shard of glass from the teleprompter hitting him. Supposedly the Secret Service was aware of the shooter on the roof 20 minutes before it happened. That also seems incredible.
So far there is ZIPPO from the FBI. Which means they probably know something but haven't figured out how to spin it yet.
On top of this insanity, Uncle Joe was just diagnosed with CoVid. ::) It's becomiing surreal.

Uncle Joe finally Capitulated! He has now endorsed Kamala Harris as his Heir Apparent.
Will the Demodopes close ranks and line up behind Kamala, or will the convention be a wild melee with other pretenders to the throne throwing their hats in the ring?
Assuming Kamala gets the nod, how does she stack up against Trumpovetsky? One has to figure she'll win the Women's vote and the Black/Latino vote.
This result is probably the best outcome the Dems could have wished for, and Uncle Joe's collapsse in the debate turned out to be a good thing for them, IF they line up behind Kamala. If they start duking it out at the convention, it's anther story.

True, chuckleheads are everywhere. They will be sure to back her. It might surprise you to know that most women and Black/Latinos might expect more than Kamala word salad from a candidate. Making it to the top of the heap starting out as Willie Brown's side piece does not bode well.
I think Kamala's accomplishments amount to crickets. Someone please prove me wrong.
Can she keep us out of war better than the ear? Her behavior as a prosecutor suggests an instigator of trouble. As a prosecutor innocence did not concern her, numbers of black men sent to jail did.

Live #763 - Biden is Out, but is Psycho Kamala in?
I confess I am a Maupin fan. Caleb has had a hard on about Kamala since the first time he heard her giggle. Point being he knows stuff.
If you want to skip the intro jump to seven minutes even up. Then Caleb spends a couple minutes justifying stirring the pot before he stirs the pot.
Caleb Maupin examines the life of Kamala Harris, and puts her rise to prominence in the context of changing US political discourse and the geopolitical stage. The book draws heavily from Marxism-Leninism, as well as psychology and economics, examining the roots of the crisis in the United States, as well as factors that contributed to Kamala Harris' career.
Very good book. Many sources and quotes. Well written. Clear and to the point but theoretically strong and empirically founded analysis. An interesting and insightful combination of cultural, economical, political and psychological analysis. Maupin does not just list events in isolation as historians generally do but he gives true insight into a social milieu, his style somewhat reminded me of Isaac Deutscher. Definitely worth a read.
Biden may be asleep, but at least he isn't a psychotic maniac driven by hatred of their father. Kamala Harris, in her rage against the oppression of dads everywhere, is willing to nuke dads everywhere, make no mistake about it. A Kamala Harris presidency is unprecedented, never before has someone so fundamentally screwed in the head been this close to the presidency without ANY say by the American people.
Harris was characterized by her mercilessness during her time as a leading prosecutor. She famously fought against the release of DNA evidence and pushed for the death penalty for a black man who was later found completely innocent.

I admit to being completely clueless about KH and her history in politics or as a prosecutor. I definitely would have preferred the Lady Obamanator, but I do grasp the reasons why Uncle Joe had to choose her as his successor. It reaffirms his choice of her as Veep, where she was always just a bullet or a heart attack away from becoming POTUS anytime over the last 4 years. Financially also, since she was already on the ticket, she's the only one who can legally take over the campaign war chest of money already raised. It's also important for the Dems to show Unity and not have the convention devolve into bickering over a bunch of wannabees, so it's probably a done deal and we just gotta see how she shapes up if she beats Bloody Ear.
The one positive I see is that she probably stands the best chance for getting a Constitutional Ammendment to legalize Abortion again, since after the SCOTUS struck down Roe v. Wade that's the only way to get that problem fixed. I'm not real concerned about her other positions on Wokeism and who gets to use what bathrooms, although I would like to see the Trannies kicked out of Women's Sports and Prisons.
On the MOST important area of Economics I suspect it's hopeless and we will just get more of the same failed policies in the banking and real estate sectors that are responsible for the housing crisis and wealth transfer to the rich, so that will remain a mess whoever gets elected. She'll probably also be another knee-jerk supporter of Israel & Ukraine given her connection to Uncle Joe.
Anyhow, at least hopefully she can stay awake during press conferences.
