So the establishment Republicans are responsible for sabotaging his administration? And yet Trump still pledged to run as a Republican after what they did to him?
I agree, the mainstream Republicans were a major impediment to Trump's publicly stated agenda in several ways. And yet Trump still came crawling back, after all the backstabbing shit they pulled on him. This suggests one of four possibilities:
-
that he is legitimately retarded (unlikely given his business and celebrity success)
-
That he is a pushover with no balls (VERY uncharacteristic of Trump),
-
that his real agenda doesn't actually conflict with the mainstream uniparty, and he's controlled opposition
-
They have some kind of extremely damaging blackmail on him that they are using to control him
1 and 2 are highly unlikely, if not improbable
4 is unlikely given how much shit they already threw at him that he didn't care about/didn't have an effect. And if the blackmail was that damaging, they could just force him to resign and save themselves a lot of trouble.
By process of elimination, that leaves 3 as the most likely. Feel free to disagree but that's my logic.
And mass election fraud was an issue that Trump was aware of, because he argued that the 2016 popular vote was lost because of illegal aliens voting, and repeatedly brought up the issue during the 2016 and 2020 debates. Why did he do nothing about it for 2 years when he controlled Congress? Never even tried to introduce a bill.
His non action on election fraud despite being very vocal about it, suggests that he is either incompetent or wanted to lose.

"I never said it was an argument"
Are you retarded?
What an amazingly detailed and thought-provoking rebuttal.
You disproved everything I said.
Well done.
In a world where every conservative is controlled opposition or a grifter or simply unelectable, what are you supposed to do? Admit that your people have no say and you have no power and that you're screwed?
Is that not the truth? Perhaps it's a tad oversimplified, but it's not wrong.
Burying the harsh truth to believe in a comfortable lie will solve nothing. You want real change, you need people to "wake up". You want them to "wake up", they need to acknowledge and comprehend the truth.
If the Republicans completely stonewalled him, what does that say about the Republicans' true motives? And about Trump's ability to lead? If the Republicans are compromised to the point of sabotaging their own candidate, why vote for them? If Trump cannot control his own party enough to get his agenda enacted, why vote for him?
He did more to secure the border than any President in history.
Eisenhower? Jackson?
Yes, he did more than any recent president, but that's not a high bar.
He pushed the boundaries of executive power to do it.
By what? Writing executive orders that were struck down by judges and/or reversed by Biden? And what was the result? No real change. He and the (purportedly) anti illegal-migrant GOP held Congress for two years and did not pass any legislation that ramped up deportation or built a wall. Only executive orders that can(and are) being easily reversed.
"Obama deported more, ffs"
Either you stupidly fell for the MIGA psyops or are part of it
Stating a verifiably true fact is not a "psyop" just because you don't like it.
Not an argument
And where did that get us today?
I'm no stormfag, Hitler conquering Europe would not have been a good outcome for the non-Germans. That being said, the Allies' requirement for unconditional surrender led to far more destruction than what was needed.
Specifically with regard to "balance of power", yes Germany needed to be taken down a notch. But we didn't do that- we completely wiped them out, teaming up with Marxists to do so, thus enabling them to extend their influence over most of Eastern Europe, completely messing up the power balance in the region.
A united self ruling Germany, neighbored by a Western Europe that was not totally destroyed by war, would have been a better counterbalance to the Soviets, than what we got- a divided Germany and a devastated Western Europe dependent on the US. Then you have to factor in the post-war Marxist infiltration of government and academia that was directly and indirectly caused by the Soviets, leading to much of the issues we face today.
Taking those points into account, it is logical to say that the outcome of WW2 that we got, was not a good one and that better outcomes were possible.
For the best "balance of power" outcome, we should have pushed the Germans back into Germany, let them sue for peace, then withdraw Lend-lease from Russia and let the Germans and Soviets duke it out.
The problem with TERFs is that, although we have some common enemy, at the end of the day they are still radfems, with all of that type of political baggage attached. Enemy of my enemy is not always a friend, sometimes they are also enemies.
That's exactly the point.
This is generally true in applied policies, not always in rhetorical speech or when discussing social/cultural issues.
history is written by the victors? So along the lines of what you are saying little to all of it is not fake, but distorted. Maybe not even to suit the narrative of the day, but the narrative of the time the history was recorded.
I was touching on this a bit, yes. But to give an example of what I was specifically arguing, look at how information and narratives used to be communicated. All media was essentially "establishment" in this time, i.e. through physical newspapers, TV, and radio. Very top-down, without any real platform for the average person.
Let's say there was a 2020-esque scenario that took place in 1960. The media and communications apparatus only reported in ways that were advantageous to their chosen candidate, and in this internet-less era, where individuals had no real far-reaching platform, would proof of, (or even the mere speculation of) significant election fraud ever reach the general public? Probably not.
Yes, my point is sort of related to the "history is written by the victors" thing. But I am really saying, it is possible that the current extreme bias in media is not new, but that it is only being widely noticed now because of the Internet, which enables skeptics to talk, share info, and build their own narratives even when physically separated.
And if you accept the possibility that media has been extremely biased in this way for a very long time (not just recently from sjw stuff), then that calls into question the validity of a lot of other historical events.
When the election is so legitimate and secure that you aren't allowed to question it
Why doesn't she want a split level? if she doesn't want the 70s wood paneling or drop ceilings, plenty of them have been renovated.
And are there really no other types of suburban house where you live?
Shut up fed
Simps gonna simp
Well, what's buried in it? Are you speculating, or have you found and read the actual bill?
Well if you got a time machine and bought a pre WW2 Volkswagen, that would be the least woke company to buy from.
Speaking of realistic options, buy Japanese/Korean or buy used. Or if time is not important and you feel ambitious, you could 3d print the parts and assemble a car yourself.
3d printing, my dude
Pretty sure this is coming down because the museum closed, not because of any ulterior motive
I must admit that this guy was the reason I got into politics to begin with. By now he was a tad too boomer for my tastes, especially in his positions on Israel and Middle East intervention. Nonetheless, he was a firm social conservative who wasn't afraid to call out feminist and LGBT bullshit, and towards the end he was getting more redpilled on globalism and Covid. And of course dying of lung cancer is terrible. He will be missed.
posting anti white tweets
"Zenkhus"
guys my opinion is valid because 'my' ancestors were white
god damn it /pol/ was right again
be me and my siblings
go from school to school, one by one
get kicked out of each school, one by one
schools have individual administrations, leadership, and are each independently run. Many are so far apart they have little contact
despite this, each and every school cites the exact same reasons for kicking us out
must be bigotry, lots of families had the same problem right?
this is a time period in which bigotry is common and often encouraged
despite this, me and my siblings are the only ones who have been kicked out of hundreds of countries for the exact same reasons
no one else even comes close
not even gypsies
even the fucking gypsies, who were literal thieves, were kicked out of less than a dozen schools
should we change?
no, it's clearly everyone else's problem.
but, these hundreds of widely separated schools, who are very different from one another, all state the exact same reasons for hating us.
They are all lying.
Clearly.
Downvoted not because I disagree (I don't) but because this is lazy and low effort post that has produced nothing worthwhile
Did the same. They both probably downvoted you though lmfao.
