American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

So lets say 35% of Americans support Trump and 91% trust a known easily proven daily liar. So 32% of Americans are truly fucking dumber than dirt? or at the very least to be nice unwilling to admit they have been played for the last decade?

But these go hand and hand. If you think the real news that contradicts what you need to validate your point is “fake news” you would dismiss it and instead just drink whatever kool-aid Trump provides if it makes you feel better

Essentially these 32% live in a alternate universe? I seriously hope to live another 50 years just to see how historians try and explain these times.

But again all this for WHAT? To give ME your money via tax breaks? So you can brag about 4.1% GDP that is front loaded due to tariffs and will be 2% at best next quarter? when that would of been Obamas 5th best despite the liar and his son saying otherwise. See contradiction… Its if you can accept that REALITY or just drink what Trump/Faux and his spawns say…

Yes that seems about right. It’s infuriating. If only they could see the truth that is so self-evident. They are obviously wrong about everything, and they would know it if they came out of their Russian-fed media bubble and came into my totally objective media bubble that only tells the truth. Fuck them for being so blind.

Having true sight like mine is truly a curse in these dark times.

Intriguingly, there’s only group of people currently that I’m aware of wherein their fearless leader has said to trust nobody else, to not trust your eyes and ears. That seems scary. This isn’t “don’t watch Fox ““News”” because it’s been shown repeatedly to make you less informed”, this is “don’t trust reality”. That’s some fucked up shit.

I do enjoy that the truth has finally come out about that Russian-fed media bubble that people had been claiming existed before the election and now lo and behold yeah that was actually a significant thing. It was cool to see them unwind that, to publicize what had happened. Should be interesting to see what happens as the rest of the Mueller investigations unwind into the public eye. This is unprecedented corruption. We live in amazing times.

Yep it’s true. Trump supporters are in a cult where they literally blind themselves to reality and listen to cassette tapes of speeches played by their cult leader all night. They’re definitely not supporting him because they enjoy trifling things like a booming economy that creates jobs and pushes wages up.

We can give Trump credit where credit is due. If Obama did the same things, Democrats would think he was the greatest POTUS to hold the office. However, if it comes at a cost of extreme idealistic tribalism and tearing down the fabric of common sense, then it’s not worth it.

I think you could have gotten a better economy on more sustainable grounds from any other candidate. What does the chair of the Fed have to say about the current economy? Hint: “unsustainable”. The reasons for “growth” are horrible.

Trump being a great economic leader, which he is not - he’s robbing the public - still wouldn’t excuse his assault on reality. Policy and discussions need to start from a basis of reality and science or politics become discoherent. As they are now.

On what grounds would we feel Trump-as-Obama as the greatest? Obama already did better on more sustainable economic grounds. Of course the Trump administration lies about this because frankly anybody still listening to them and believing is going to believe anything. Flagrant disregard for the truth and ethics seem frightening to me.

Bu hey, it should be exciting to see how the needless trade wars pan out.

is losing in the trade wars!!!

hahahahahamerica

Fucken 3rd world religious policing shit

If? Obama DID do the same things and better?

Trump gets credit for his 4.1% GPD like I said above but he also has to take the free fall that will happen next quarter when China is no longer buying up stuff before tariffs like Soy Beans.

See there is a disconnect from REALITY here. Just because Trump says best of all time doesn’t make it true guys. Also Trump inherited one of the BEST economies ever for a POTUS where the only thing he needed to fix was the ACA. Again he may say he didn’ but he really did in again that thing called reality. Even some conservative media have a hard time trying to spin it other than outright lying.

This is what you look like to me when all you do is defend Trump no matter what for the most part IMO. They sound like they do listen to audiobooks of Trump and believe whatever Trump says. Do you not see it? From the Seth Rich Fabrication poster to the “fake news” and the “stop lying”…

This is because America is not a Christian nation.

America is a predominately Red and White Corporate Capitalist Christian Nation: O.G. Testament Edition (hold the Christ), with a couple of daubs of Blue on each side keeping the entire cluster-fuck together.

Good read about Portugal de-criminalizing drugs.
Other countries may do it, but USA will never… They need that sweet sweet private prison money. Can’t make it if you aren’t sending a bunch of people to prison daily.

The prison money ain’t the half of it.

It is the enforced slave labor of the millions of U.S. prisoners working for nothing as chattel for private corporations via the prison industry that is the heart of the evil of this nation.

That, and the bought and paid for whore politicians who allow it.

“Hulk SMASH!” reads smarter than our president.

It’s been previously stated by the administration that his tweets are official statements. Thus that’s a real bad thing for Trump to say.

The problem is that the Republicans are in charge of Congress. The only time Republicans believe something is a crime is if Democrats do it. If a Democrat did not do it, then it’s time to talk about something a Democrat might have done. Remember the ferocious zest with which we pursued Hillary. And turned up nothing. Now you have a smoking gun of current obstruction of justice by the President… where are the Republicans?

It’s not just hypocrisy: this is abusing political powers so hard that it’s just flat evil at this point. The Republicans are wielding the system in a fundamentally broken way. Given the climate change problems we are going to be facing in the years ahead this is just fucking awful.

The alcohol lobby is one of the things that stands in the way of drugs being legalized. Nevermind the fact that the US is a puritanical country when it comes to stuff like this, but there’s also money being exchanged to make sure that alcohol is the only legal shit people get a buzz on. I’m honestly surprised that weed is being legalized in as many places that it is considering all this.
