2025 Political Thread

Robert Garcia wants his goons to bring their weapons, so long as those don't include so-called "assault weapons" and other firearms with large-capacity magazines.
Stupid piece of freeloading garbage doesn't understand that war is horrible beyond all imagination.

He better watch what he's asking for - the side with all the guns, ammo, veterans and hunters is sick and tired of the other side's crap.

We put up with our country supporting terrorists, supporting freeloading pieces of garbage, pushing DEI into everything, wasting taxpayer money at a mind boggling rate and cheating in elections for 12 of the last 16 years.
 
This says nothing about what the contract was for, how much was funded, and what the PoP was. It’s literally meaningless.
There are no contracts that any government should have with media. Period. To do so creates not just the appearance of impropriety but actual impropriety.

If someone had asked me at any time in my life time whether democrats would be openly defending government fraud I would have lost that bet as historically republican's were caught in the fraud and dems were caught in someone's pants. It's amazing how the world has changed in the decades since I was a youngster on the other side of the world blowing stuff up and killing people for our government.

Why don’t democrats understand how awful this is? But then we remember what Upton Sinclair said, “It is very difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” Also applies to the fake outrage from Congress members.

Ignore function is great. And....poof, you no longer exist.

I, too, turn into a snowflake anytime someone challenges me. My echo chamber is much more comfortable.
 
I mostly refrain from these discussions these days and you have me torn between calling out obvious untruths in the interest of trying to stop the spread of misinformation and simply just not wanting to deal with it at all because I have quickly realized it is pointless.

Time to concentrate on what is really important - basketball season, Saturday's severe threat and the upcoming Formula 1 racing season.

Ferrari is going to regret replacing Sainz.
 
I know a lot of people are referencing the unverified Napoleon quote in reference to Trump's tweet that he's unable to violate the law, however, I think "L'État, c'est moi" is actually the more appropriate quip.

The government needs to be able to rapidly get news from around the world directly from those that collect it. You have to pay for this service.

Further, there are advantages to the government paying to disseminate educational resources and its own information.
 
Nineteen Eighty Four is becoming a reality, and while I can't say the right is 100% innocent, it's mostly from the left

Newspeak: Language like "birthing person" or "egg bearer" to replace "woman", "sperm producer" instead of "man", "primary bedroom" instead of "master bedroom" is all woke speech and not using it is considered hateful and offensive to people of color and the LGBTQ+ community

Ministry of Love: Remember the "summer of love" and how Kamala cheered on the rioters?

Ministry of Truth: Biden tried to create one

2+2=5: We need to lie about biological realty with preferred pronouns and Laurie Rubel, who teaches math education at Brooklyn College says “of course math is neutral because 2+2=4 trope are the related (and creepy) 'math is pure' and 'protect math' reeks of white supremacist patriarchy"

thoughtcrime: No praying near abortion clinics or you may spend years in prison while the George Floyd rioters get bailed out

doublespeak: Just about every thing the Democrats propose today is the opposite of what it claims to be (e.g. Inflation Reduction Act, Planned Parenthood, anti-racism (which is simply racism against white people))

Freedom is slavery: The left claims capitalism is slavery and socialism is freedom. Conservatives and classical liberals say the opposite.

There's more I could think of

I am fully supportive of the efforts to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. I think stopping all payments from those programs makes total sense. Make people re-apply. You never can be too careful with taxpayer money.

I'm sure the people receiving benefits from those programs will understand.
 
Can somebody watch that and not absolutely cringe? Is it physically possible?

You're looking at this in the wrong way, Jacob.

Does it trigger the Libs? Yes. Ergo, no cringe is provoked.

Much like attempting to rename the Gulf of Mexico -- the point is that they were eating our dogs and cats. You've got to understand the weave. Those that can't, or won't, can go to Gitmo.
 


I cannot imagine how triggered the Libs must be right now. We do a little annexing of the resource rich portions of Canada. Leave the chaff to Trudeau's soy boys. Expel Canada from intelligence gathering and NORAD.

I'm trying to think of another amazing Chad who recently annexed territory from a neighbor. He's a man feted by his people. He stopped the globalists in their tracks. This is a multi-polar world, you see. The United States just needs to take what we're owed. We're going to make Canada pay. We're going to make Ukraine pay.

The Chief Frog has convened an emergency summit. He better be careful. They still owe us from WWII. Give us the Lesser Antilles or you're out of NATO. No, you can't get away with just giving us Polynesia. We were taking that regardless.

We protected Europe for decades. Time for the Eurocucks and Ukronazis to pay the bill.

Someone wrote a whole poem about that, in the style of Dr. Seuss (who the left says is racist)

I Will Not Eat Grilled Haitian Cat


The town was dull white

And its voters rust-red.

Its churches were backward

And families male-led.



So virtuous strangers

Who lived far away

Behind iron gates

Shouted, “Anchors aweigh!”



They sent boats crammed with strangers

Of alien tongue,

And curious customs,

To make Springfield young!



Recruited from shanties

And sprung out of jail

Unschooled in the basics …

These guests couldn’t fail!



Because each would bring with him

Irrefutable claims

On Christian compassion

That served pagan aims.



They were loaded with tax funds,

And freebies and goodies

To enrich our poor Rust Belt

With machetes and hoodies.




The mayor and governor

And factory barons

Cashed fat checks and signed on,

And so did the Karens!



And O how those Karens

Clucked and crowed with delight

At the chance to rebuke,

And reprove, and indict!



They practice-wagged fingers

And rehearsed epic rants.

And carefully ironed

Their boss-lady pants.



Soon the town was enriched

With new dozens each day

Who spoke, lived, and ate

In a real different way.



O how thrilling and noble,

Exciting and sexy!

The poor love-starved Karens

Neared apoplexy.



We know change is good

And “different” is better,

While “diverse” is the best.

It’s the only strength-getter!



There was only one fly

In this virtuous ointment.

Just one turd in the punchbowl

That caused disappointment.



The town was still stuffed

With “legacy” people

Obsolete rednecks,

Deplorable sheeple.



They didn’t all vanish

Or turn into Haitians.

Some showed up at meetings

And voiced their impatience.



“These people are eating our cats,”

Some did say.

“And beheading our geese

In a most gruesome way.



“They’re cashing fat checks

And slaughtering pigs.

When we grew up here

Springfield was nothing like this.”



The mayor and the Karens

Soon swung into action.

They cancelled the meetings

To halt such detraction.



They “fact-checked” the bigots,

Shamed those who dissented

With cool threats of hellfire

Pope Francis had lent them.



“If you won’t sit mum

As we slowly replace you

We’ll use all our mojo

To quickly disgrace you.



“We’ll label you bigots

And haters and racists

Who in Britain see prison

Taking cells from the rapists.



“We’ll spy on your churches,

And ban you from banking.

You will see how your betters

Deliver a spanking.



“We’ll rig all your votes,

Toss your Orange Man in jail,

Or find crazies to shoot him

If our judges all fail.”



But the stalwarts of Springfield

Black, white, and brown

Wouldn’t be buffaloed

Out of their town.



They kept on complaining

And soon people listened.

Not everyone’s scared

Of being imprisoned.



Not all politicians

Are afraid to dodge bullets.

Not all pastors are Karens,

Not all voters are helots.



And soon a loud rumble

Arose through our land,

As the quiet and humble

Made a do-or-die stand.



From city and prairie

From suburb and farm

A gathering chorus

Sounded like an alarm.



It couldn’t be silenced

It couldn’t be muted

It couldn’t even

Be prosecuted.



Once the good folk of Springfield

Had spoken up for us,

The words just emerged

As a national chorus:



“We will not eat grilled Haitian cat,

We won’t take off that MAGA hat.

We won’t be throttled by your gag

And we won’t let you burn our flag.



“We will not let you trans our kids

Or mandate what good God forbids.

We won’t let you start World War III.

And we will keep our country free.”



The mayor and governors

Bought pastors and Karens,

Censors and spooks,

And cheap labor barons



Blustered and sputtered

Slandered and cancelled

… Then folded, and cowered

Once they saw they’d be trampled.



A free nation emerged

From those poor kitties’ ashes

Not haunted by traitors

Or Deep State assassins.



And that country now proudly

Stokes up its grill

With burgers and hot dogs:

A city on a hill.
