What's new

The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

Right on brand.

Patriots coach wears a Hoodie.
Gobert clogs the lane.
Suns rises in the East.
Married Donald Trump shows Christian Family values in attempting to get some hot tail.

Truly, right on brand.

 


Clearly, it's super-important that we keep our focus on the villainous Obama.

Super.

Important.

That way, Trump is justified in playing grabass with Putin and betraying our Kurdish allies to Erdogan, etc., and I can feel like my special MAGA underoos aren't getting all streaky. I'm 100% voting Republican in November, you see, because I always have and always will, and I just want to not have to think past that right now. Oh, and THE LIBERALS!! <shakingfists>

For real, man, why do you post this garbage? It's nothing but the worst kind of confirmation bias-- you aren't informing/educating anyone, least of all yourself.
 
It's the military-industrial complex that is the biggest entitlement and sucked off the teat of the government, and what do they do with this money -- KILL PEOPLE, all in the name of some bs threat to our national security. That is the biggest myth of the modern era, the creation of enemies so we can make these fat cats who make arms rich and use our big stick to control other people.

The MIC creates billions of jobs directly and tens of billions more indirectly. How many jobs did you create while they are out literally keeping the world fed, assface?
 
Very glad this guy is dead. If you think about this tactically this is a huge win.


strategically?

Have the IMPOTUS brainpower thought through the strategic implications?

Iran will respond and hundreds of Americans will be killed.

What is Trump’s next move?

Iraq is our ally and they are really really pissed. What if they expel Americans and our troops from the country?

It is chess being played with IMPOTUS who loses in tiddlywinks.

For a guy who promised to bring home our troops, this without doubt makes that nearly impossible.

This is both true and also misleading. The MIC creates jobs because taxpayers invest trillions into the MIC programs. If you did not tax people to build the MIC that money can remain in the private sector and create jobs more efficiently than the government can.

And guys and gals, don't let this MSN/Washington Post article slip by without reading it. It goes right to the heart of what is going on where the dueling narratives of "Russian and Putin interfered" vs. "Ukraine interfered". I think it's critical to wake Trump supporters and the Republican Party up to the fact that the origins of the Ukraine conspiracy narrative lies with the foreign actor who benefits the most by creating chaos in America's democracy. Hate liberals/progressives/Democrats all you want, but don't allow Vladimir Putin, the head of a mafia state, dictate his narrative and make it the narrative embraced by half our country. Don't let your desire to "own the libs" lead to such a position on your own part, or on the part of Trump defenders. Please put your country first. Please!

You mean like every single time something happens in Iran the democrats go running to their Ayatollah for their talking points? Remember members here telling us it was Trump who blew a hole in that ship in The Straight of Hormuz, just like Khamenei said?

At least the Ukraine conspiracy has some meat to it, like Fusion GPS, all the oligarch funding, Peter Schiff's staffers planting the quid pro quo seed, the doctored, still unproven "black ledger", and on and on.

I disagree, Ayn, and do i see you perceive no value in the smoothing dynamism that such a large, stabilizing body provides your prescious private sectors?

And as if anyone is overtaxed these days. Laughable, even before Trump's TCJA.
 
Nice try. My point is that extremists exist in the political spectrum. They typically align with certain majority parties for the same reason that all of the rest of us do - because they see that party as more in alignment with their goals than the alternative party. If this is shocking news to you I don't know what to say.

Regarding your other comments, I disagree. With regard to Burisma/Biden for instance (I'm only selecting this one because it's the most easily provable), I am completely unconvinced by your apparent belief that it has been somehow debunked. In Hunter I still see an extremely unqualified person (and the evidence for this view keeps piling up) who was being massively overpaid. He had one asset to sell that I am aware of, and it was his father's influence. It is frightening and highly concerning that the political left seems entirely unwilling to acknowledge or investigate that.

Joe, Biden is FAR to the right of the Political Left. He's a flunky for Wall Street and the Military-Industrial complex.

as I made no comment on the value of our military I won’t let your imagination fabricate an argument.

Silesian is totally correct. Do you know about NSC-68? That "secret" memo from 1950 declared that at least 15 percent of the annual U.S. budget be allocated to the military. Read the memoirs of George F. Kennan, whose ideas influenced the origin of the Cold War or Dean Acheson, who was secretary of state when NSC-68 was issued. The MIC controls our government and determines our foreign policy. Jimmy Carter tried to domesticate the economy and put less emphasis on the military and CIA, and you see what happened to him. Back to business as usual with Reagan and high military spending and lots of covert CIA operations.

Go take a dump in your massive, disgusting toilet that's infected with the death of millions of innocent people. Oh, I should add the MIC of the U.S. is responsible for the deaths of, by some estimates, as many as 30 million people, the majority who were non combatants.

You made a typical Randian misallocation statement without accounting for any indirect benefits. To a Randian, we might as well get rid of all programs like social security and unemployment benefits because they are first, foremost, and forever a wasted misallocation tax, and to hell with all the indirect benefit provided to the taxpayer. Ut either does not exist to them, or they aren't capable of expanding their view beyond the initial tax.

These programs create a whole lot of smoothing dynamism. They're stabilizers. But in the view you gave us they are nothing more than a tax burden that leads to misallocation.

Thanks for sharing. Your pseudo-intellectual BS is amusing

Ayn Rand was a blooming idiot. I read some of her in my early years; sure, self-interest is what motivates all of us, all of our base instincts, but it's the mature person who can see beyond that. To make a basketball comparison, it's like the chucker who only thinks about his own numbers and doesn't care whether the team wins or loses. But as the chucker realizes that if his team is going to win, he needs to put his team before his numbers. Same thing with the dumb Ayn Rand BS.
