But this issue isn't going away. Anyone intelligent realizes that at this point. It's causing so much social disruption and costing too many lives and most importantly for people in power, too much money. Politicians and business leaders who want to play head in the sand will find themselves replaced in november, if not the next few years.

mango sentinel posted:It's gonna get declared self defense, they'll choose not to prosecute the gun charges, and it will be open season on protesters. I think open season on protesters is really hyperbolic but I think he's gonna get off with self defense too. From what I've read it really does seem like the first guy he shot did actually attack him first, and two others jumped in after he got shot. ...Which I have to admit in the kids defense...if I was carrying a large gun openly and someone was stupid enough to attack me I could probably imagine in the moment they're just as stupid to push to lethal force rather than disarming. But if he didn't want to shoot someone he wouldn't have brought a gun. I honestly just don't imagine the murder 1 is going to stick though. There is some nuance, and his age to consider. And you know. White young republican who will be lionized and made into a celebrity.

Blake did not have a knife. At a presser they said they found a knife in the floorboard of his car. Which says nothing about intent or anything. I have a knife on my car dashboard and I completely forget about it until I need it as a tool. If Blake had a weapon the cops would be on every news channel with crocodile tears about what a dangerous thug this guy was and how they had no choice. Praise to the heroic self sacrificing actions. Beautify us.

Zapf Dingbat posted:"Guys, I got it. Let's run the country like a business. You see businesses are much more efficient and......" It's one of those trueisms that on the surface makes a lot of sense and if you work for a business it's easy to see how efficiency and improving and beating out competitors is an important aspect of delivering a product or service. But if you look past the surface even a little bit it falls apart really quickly. Businesses cut corners, fail all the time, and multiple page paragraphs of other things that government specifically cannot do to be successful. Governing isn't a business. It's just hard work. Compromise. Take and give.

Had made a few posts that completely disappeared and I don't think they were controversial / off topic. That and more likely to just get probated. I agree with the ghost post though. It's always going to be an irony how had Trump actually put in the work and used the presidency instead of a scheme to self-enrich himself and his lackeys, working out a lifetime of insecurities transparently, and actually worked to "drain the swamp" as he has complete control over the republican party with a cult of personality, as well as infastructure spending, et al he would actually be getting the positive coverage he desperately craves.

Wait.

I never would have suspected these nefarious social justice warriors were so organized, and they would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that meddling President, and that pesky Chad Wolf too.

Ok, I completely understand the stupidity that is "I don't want big gubmit tellin' me what to do". Here is the thing though, is he influences them. And it's in his best interests to do a national mask mandate even. Like, he wants less coronavirus numbers. Ok. Great. So he needs to start wearing a mask and then just talking about what a big strong yuge man he is and how big strong yuge men wear masks because they don't wanna get people sick, and being thoughtful like that gets you totally laid and women and doctors tell you how amazing you are with tears in their eyes. Promoting masks, are in his absolute best interest. And I know for a fact I've literally put more thought into this than he ever has.

Law is already halfway out the window, cops are brutalizing people unchecked, it's just the pretense of law that is being kept because it's useful. I don't think you are accurately evaluating the cunning and strategy of your opponents because you are too angry It's a great thing that Trump had antagonized the military, intelligence agencies, the largest political blocs, the media, and literally everyone who isn't white or it might have been an issue. I don't think you're properly evaluating the actual weakness of president Trump because you're too anxious.

Like. I have to post this time and time again because the new doomposters come in and it's like. Ok. Reality check. Donald Trump is not some all powerful figure. He only even is still in office right now because republicans are terrified of their constituents but privately hate the guy. The idea he has some iron grip is laughable. He's transparently corrupt and incompetent, neurotic. He's weak. And everyone but the 30% of americans who like him know it. Even he knows it. Anyone in a position of strength doesn't try to suggest delaying elections. Which got completely shot down by his own party. Or a variety of other things in the past. This isn't some tinpot dictatorship where speaking up gets you and your family shot or else I couldn't be making this post. Yes. People are getting hurt in the streets. But it's not like police are systemically killing protesters. Over policing? You bet. And I mean... Hundreds of thousands of americans just had protests and riots in every state and territory over the on television murder of a black man for literally no reason. And the police were -absolutely overwhelmed.- Trump openly trying to create an imperial presidency and jail opposition or crazy poo poo? When people are actually tuned in? That's when the riots really begin. Military leadership has already explicitly said they're not supporting donald trump except for their constitutional duties. Firing on and mass incarceration of american citizens is against their oaths. If Joe Biden wins the election on Wednesday, January 20th, 2021 they will be following his orders. And lastly. Say the police support him. Say DHS goes to bat for Trump. The fact is the largest political organization in the country is the democratic party. And one of the leaders of that is Barack Hussein Obama. D&D is hard on Obama's record and rightfully so. But at the end of the day he is a political statesman and has the knowledge, experience, and popularity to lead the country. Hate him all you want but he's significantly more popular than Donald Trump or really any possible presidential candidate right now and I have no question he could cast down any would be king's aspirations as long as he's alive. So no. This doomposting and fear mongering is dumb to me. Am I saying it can't happen? Absolutely not. It's important to think about. But realize too that our political and economic system relies on democratic ideals and disrupting that disrupts the money spigot that elites enjoy so much. An incompetent, unstable, and stagnant imperial presidency is not in their best interests and anyone with half a brain knows that. Right now it's all working because Trump might be skirting the rules but everyone else realizes this is not normal and actively trying to keep things as stable as possible. He has to attack the edges like postal service. The center is too strong. Edit: gently caress it. We'll do it live.  I'm confident that most of america is done with Donald Trump. Joe Biden will be the next president of the united states.

Bottom Liner posted:Lol sure bud, the thing keeping America from going over the edge is the DNC and Obama. Eh. Not the DNC. More the point is the majority of this country is democratic party. I absolutely believe if Trump openly attempted a takeover that Obama and those who support him would be a strong impediment to his ascendency. Whatever criticism we have of the man's policies I think he's shown himself to be a genuinely good person. And if we collectively actually needed him to be leader again to save America I'm confident he'd do it. But we don't.

Maria Juana posted:Is this post from 2015 or something? It was already revealed that Obama knew that Trump was bankrolled by the Russian mafia right after the election and decided to not do anything even after it was shown that he had literally cheated to win. Because a president interfering with the election of a political rival absolutely wouldn't come out and cause a significant backlash. Say...Wasn't a recent president actually impeached in the house for trying to solicit foreign help in elections? I don't think people realize Trump undermines institutions and trust in things because he's so weak outside his shrinking republican base it's literally the only way to hold on to power.

Barry Foster posted:This is staggeringly naive. I notice that people are laser focusing on my opinion of Obama as a subjective political leader and objectively excellent campaigner rather than any other argument I set forth as to why Trump can't, won't, or will fail in extreme hypothetical fear mongering scenarios. If the idea that because Obama didn't do full communism now, or focused too much party power on his elections and is even a minor obstacle these days to a serious progressive agenda makes him a bad person or uninterested in the overall health of the nation is extremely limited and ideologically pure wishful thinking. I can think of more criticism of Obama's presidency than I have praise. He wasted his potential. But the idea he was some terrible president is just dumb. Trump has revealed and eroded weakness in our institutions. And 4 more years he'd damage them further. Possibly to the breaking point. But that doesn't mean they still don't exist or aren't strong. They're resistant to change. Which is unfortunate for is most of the time, but not right now. Anyway I don't wanna Obama derail too much more. If someone has novel criticism I'd genuinely love to hear it but otherwise just going to ignore drive by poo poo posts like this one.

Gripweed posted:I don't understand what you think he would do. If Trump steals the election through the courts like Bush did, what are you imaging Obama would do? Declare himself the true president? No. my response was going beyond undermining confidence and trying to actively hold on to power through overt extralegal means. I would say in that case the democrats would roll over. But who knows? What if Roberts pulls a fastball and doesn't want repeat of 2000? As been pointed out Dems are too concerned about  and short term painless solutions to rather than stressful but long term healthy fixes.

Jesus that reaction about him not taking off the mask. Are you loving kidding me guy? Like good lord. Again it's amazing to me that this motherfucker seems to equate masculinity with not wearing a mask. Like. Wearing a mask literally lowers coronavirus numbers. He's literally hurting himself by not strongly endorsing it. And I'm putting more thought into this than he ever will. I don't loving get it man. Check it out, I'm such an alpha male that I would have joined the navy SEALS but if I did I'd have to beat the poo poo out of the instructors and that's just not a good look for the other guys. But my lungs, and freedom is so fragile that if I wear a mask I'll loving die.

That way he gives moderate republicans cover and they maintain their majority conservative opinion when the vote fails.
