The American Politics Thread

And as the very stable genius is clearly short-circuiting at the moment, I wonder if anyone is still there with

sufficient powers to stop him dropping off some nuclerar Christmas or new year presents somewhere.

which of course we would 'win'.. if one terms a win in terms of hundreds of thousands, some estimates obviously top a million dead.  And all needlessly...

what scares me Steve. and should scare everyone is one we have talked about in the past. Iran. See Captain Bonespurs is little different from most Americans..  all he sees and has seen is sterile footage on CNN of our smart wonder weapons chasing some Iraqi asshat and blowing him to smithereens..

it was in his eyes.. in many eyes.. an easy victory.

Iran though.. a completely different ballgame and I don't trust him to recognize the difference. And as has been posted here, and known to all, is the fact that NO SITTING U.S. President has ever lost when running for reelection.  If the sh*t reallly hits the fan.. what better distraction.. the ultimate in fact. Than a war, an easy one haha against a real baddie in the eyes of the electorate. See the situation might seem farfetched.. and in a normal reaslity... it would be. 

the truth though.. is far different.

That has always been the scary part about Trump.. normal rules do not apply to him. Such things as empathy.. forethought... intelligence.. and most importantly... making rational decisions.. not decisions baced upon his gut, instincts, or simply his (and our countries) biggest issue.  His issue with NPD.  No one else really matters in his world.. but himself.

if one was rational and had a brain one knew this already... and if one didn't know this already... well this probably will be lost on them regardless.

so a government shutdown over 5B in wall funding..  can our government .. and more to the point our electorate be that stupid and disfunctional.

For yeah, this shutdown is going to happen not because of that minority that think (haha.. yeah.. I know) 

believe that a mere faction of what it would take (over 250B is what is estimated) to build 'that wall' is that important.  Will it stop illegal immigration.. nope.. ask Europe what walls and fenses do.. it just means they go around them and enter where there are not.  But as those who really think and know the subject know.. does nothing for what is changing the politics and demographics of this country.. for this is what it is really about. It isn't crime.. it is 'white identity poltics'.  It isn't illegal immigration that will makes whites a minority in this country within many of our lifetimes.. it is legal immigration.

Anyhow.. this is just nothing more than the bullsh*t and broken government that supposedly so many hate, yet they continue to prepuate it in their elected governement representatives by doing what they did here.. by forcing Trump and the House to do what has zero chance of ever happening.  Hell in this.. I have a better chance of being a famous porn star than a wall... or likely even a fragment of it .. ever being built.

At least in the Senate they know the poltical reality and acted responsibly on it. There simply are not the votes for it.. so in a childish huff...  the government will suffer a partial shutdown.  And yet whitie and Trump voter will rage about how broken our government is.

makes sense..  just as the last couple of years have...

well not quite all .. other than FAUX news guzzling 35% of the electorate moron..  he will still have their love. But yeah in DC he probably has.. or would have but what is poor Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans to do? 

Impeach him? or just continue whistling past the graveyard and hoping the next two years pass quickly and without a major national catastrophe.  

and yep...  somewhere in Russia.. Putin and his cabal are smiling..  

this.. what we are seeing now.. is exactly what their campaign was intended to do. Divide, weaken and sow chaos in the heart and soul of their geopolitical enemy.

while 'trump voter' has forgotten that.. make no mistake Putin and Russia in thinking the US and Russia are anything resembling friends and allies.
