The last guy to win two separate terms in the White House was also a rapist. Maria Haplin claimed Grover Cleveland raped and impregnated her. The more things change the more ...

The reason Trump was elected... twice... should be self-evident. America is no longer exceptional. America now stands as one in a long line of global powers that ruled for a while, and then staggered under the colossal weight of its own hubris, and decayed while another power prepared to assume the role.

The words of the Constitution are now effectively meaningless-- perhaps they once had real meaning to most people, and then, after that, they were looked upon by some as having some meaning, but now, they are simply a bunch of words that have no meaning and are used by one group of people in an attempt to dominate another. You cannot live long under a set of documents outlining legacies and laws that that your highest levels of leadership will either circumvent or ignore altogether whenever it suits them.

Trump represents that decay. But they decay does not stop with him and his party; it is to be found in the other party as well. Perhaps more so. The Democrats and Republicans are like two legs of a body that has fallen into quicksand. One leg seeks to extricate itself at the expense of deepening the other leg, but by doing so, it inevitably dooms the whole.

Oooh, cool thread! I remember reading this.

William S. Burroughs had an uncle named Horace who was also an opiate addict. Horace's father (and Burroughs' grandfather) was the inventor of the adding machine, and became a millionaire by age 35. Unfortunately, both he and his wife died young and left two baby daughters and two young sons- Horace and Burroughs' father (Mortimer) to inherit the considerable fortune. Mort was responsible with his money, but not so Horace. As soon as he came of age to start spending the $$$ he did, and he quickly became a morphine addict. In 1914 William Burroughs was born and the Harrison Narcotics Law went into effect. Opiates became much harder to come by and by that time ol' Horace had pretty much exhausted his inheritance. During one crazed search, Horace the junkie had a complete breakdown and viciously slashed his arm with a piece of broken glass in order to get admitted to a hospital so he could be administered opiates for the pain. Apparently, the amount given wasn't enough to satiate the poor addict. In complete desperation, he slashed his wrists in his hospital bed and there he bled out and snuffed it.

Horace became a hero of sorts to his nephew William, who idealized his lifestyle and then followed in his footsteps- squandering his considerable inheritance on dope and travel and living the life of a bohemian at-leisure.

Burroughs had many libertarian/right-leaning, midwestern ideals, believed a lot in pseudo-science and embraced the American gun culture, so he might very well have been a proto-MAGA, although he was a pragmatist and would have rejected much of their inane political and economic theories. I wrote my last college paper on his obsessive interest in the scientific theories of Wilhelm Reich. One of the great yet imperfect white American men of the early 20th century.

Zionists got America to support and enable an ongoing genocide, Putin didn't.

For over a half century, they've played that song over and over and over again on radio stations all over the country during Thanksgiving-time yet it seems that the message still hasn't really sunk into the average American's thick skull. We continue to support all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly looking people and give billions in weapons to mother rapers and father stabbers (and even father rapers) and jump up and down en-masse like raging apes yelling "KILL! KILL! KILL! whenever some geostrategic power-grab is exposed or doesn't go our way.

"what's your solution?

Lol, you're cute.

Ask the "resistance groups with increasingly lethal weapons at their disposal" that question if you are confused.

It has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. It all has to do with preserving and strengthening the Empire. You would've thought that smarter Americans would've figured that one out by now.

The power and influence you can wield in politics is directly proportionate to your willingness to compromise and collaborate with the plutocrats, interest groups and power structures who are causing the very problems you think you can try to solve in the first place. The party you choose to belong to in order to accomplish what amounts to nothing more than a self-aggrandizing power grab is purely secondary.

Western "defense" companies profiting off of products that enable genocide or directly contribute to the deaths of thousands of women and children around the world have had the misfortune of becoming designated as legitimate military targets by resistance groups with increasingly lethal weapons at their disposal.

Clinton is a deafened, disingenuous slob. He stuck his dick into a honeytrap and got stung by excessive hubris and caught a chronic case of unfulfilled promise.

I hope Jimmy Carter outlives him.

"You condemn one state for doing something multiple states do around the globe"

Please let me know the next time America gives any of those states billions of dollars in military assets to help enable genocide or kindly inform me the next time leadership from any of those countries visits Washington DC and is given multiple standing ovations by 99% of the US Congress.

Thx.

Lying to, cheating, stealing from, raping, murdering and extermination of non-chosen are all legislated in the Talmud and/or Torah.
So it's no surprise when those permissions are found embedded into the social and legal fabric of a Zionist ethno-supremacist state.

American politicians and oligarchs use their propagandists in the mainstream news media and their narrative managers in the corporate world to manipulate public perception towards ultimately hyper-militant, murderous agendas using a complex web of half-truths, lies by omission, distortions, misleading headlines, and reversing the definition of victim and the aggressor- they start event timelines at convenient points, and, most importantly, they consistently repeat unproven allegations from untrustworthy sources. These media manipulators are as critical to the operation of the imperial war machine as the actual people who drop the bombs.

So its no wonder there are clear thinking individuals out there who seek to find the truth elsewhere.

Republicans and Democrats are addicted to using the military to solve problems that inevitably become bigger problems afterwards.

I would expect Russia's "tangible" response to be mysteriously exploding American military assets in locations both home and abroad- at least until the third round of the NFL playoffs

The 3 things I worry about the most:

3. Nuclear Weapons
2. Stupid Politicians
1. #2 using or enabling the use of #3.

The Biden administration is using its pathetic, lame duck months to skyrocket hostilities between nuclear superpowers and we don't even know who's really making these decisions because the president's brain is (and has been) a coagulated bowl of cold Quaker oatmeal.

The Democrats have done nothing over the last eight years but lose lose lose. Their collective idiocy and shortsightedness managed to get Trump elected, not once but twice.

Fighting a war with Russia always seems like a swell idea until one actually tries it.

America's greatest strategic liability is Israel and Russia will continue to take advantage of that.

As long as the security of God's chosen supremacist rapists and child murderers is considered paramount in American geopolitical worldview Russia will remain able to project its power far beyond its current military capabilities.

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?

Maybe it was when they decided to try and get "moderate" Republicans (like Dick Cheney) to vote for them rather than trying to get actual liberals who don't really support things like genocide and unending military conflict overseas to vote for them.

Israel is really struggling with how difficult its present circumstances make playing the victim. It keeps having to invent new abuses to be victimized by- like the imaginary Amsterdam "pogrom" (read: Zionist and Mossad hooligans get their asses kicked) and the fake mass rape narrative that surfaced weeks after October 7, because it can't sit comfortably in the role of victimizer while on trial for genocide and extensive war crimes in international courts.

The word

Zionist

Is simply an elaborate anagram

for

Notszii

Just think in the coming generations, all the bounty $$$ to be made by Nazi hunters ... .

I think the Democrats would fare much better if they let an independent choose their candidate

Before you can choose a presidential candidate you have to choose the platform.

"Because Americans are stupid.

There is no other reason."

If Americans could witness and experience firsthand the oppression and destruction that their own elected government (and its institutional enablers) has foisted upon other parts of the world, then perhaps they wouldn't be so stupid.

The Democrats can't continue to exist as a viable choice by responding to the pig Republican party by being just a pig wearing lipstick.
