I beg to expand the meaning of useful idiot by this example.

Chuck Schumer in March 2020 during the hearing of Roe vs Wade stood outside the Supreme Court and said "I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

That was pure arrogance on his part whoever his puppeteer is .

Karma strikes.
The Acting AG has opened a criminal investigation into those remarks. Schumer received a letter of inquiry yesterday.

That's the perfect example of a useful idiot for the left. Schumer. He will face the music alone in his zest to please baby murderers

A few weeks ago y’all were pro “freedom of speech”

Now you’re rejoicing the president is attacking the media.

basilico:
Trump is smacking the media down.
At the pentagon leftie media houses have been asked to vacate their privelleged offices NYT , NBC, Politico and NPR.
They will be replaced by OANN, Breitbart. Huffpost and New York Post.

WH press pool also brought in true media in addition to the propaganda media.

Trump want no jokes.

I'm glad you discovered this.

Its like the Oduduwa and Biafrans wanting their own country, so need Nigeria to fail and will do everything to make sure it fails as they can't get their republics without destroying Nigeria. If they were hired as air traffic controllers they'd make sure a helicopter and enger jet collide, and if they had the money they'd get the incompetent to be secretaries and ministers of destruction.

Someone mentioned accelerationism on here. First I saw that word was a few years ago when posts in Chinese were touting it. What's sad is basili & co don't know they are being accelerated.

Absolutely right.
And Basil & co do not have an any stake in America. It’s all entertainment and winning arguments for them.

Raum strikes me as one of those long term republicans who don’t care to withdraw for a catastrophic candidate out of stubbornness and the desire not to lose face.

I noticed Mr Okehie has gone silent on here. I saw him sharing some of my posts. I wonder if that indicates a change of perspective, or that he’s simply quite too busy these days.

Either way, I wonder if he is on here long enough to see what these dudes are sharing on other threads. The logical conclusion of a Trump presidency is a destabilized America. Without any allies. Who would that except enemies of America and those who don’t know what they are talking about?

I when they used to talk about the anti Americanism of the left because we dared to complain about racism and American prejudices. Only people who love something would want it to be better. But I digress.

This is a minor fall, barely a glitch. If you must make numerical arguments, make sure the numbers are material. I believe the news came out late Friday at market close so wait till Monday market opening before shouting uhuru

But the underpinnings are concerning.
Depending on the language, a 25% across the board tariff on Canada and Mexico would be devastating for the US.
I think the market is waiting on the language.
But some Hedge Funds have already started shorting the US Economy.

Where are Trump's minders?
I can't believe the Republican party has decided to entrust the health of the US economy to the hands of a manchild.

I was reading your post in the other thread because I was trying to figure out what your angle is.

You said and I quote “If we had one China in each continent, and I don't mean population-wise but in of efficiency, the West would have already been put in their place.”

And then you said in a different post “ I'm also now looking forward to the next crash of the US economy.”

You put a lot of act into appearing objective but your anti American sentiment can’t help but manifest itself inbetween the lines.

I used to argue a lot with people who I thought were smart but yet ed republican policies and I wondered what they saw that I didn’t. Turns out I was looking at them from the perspective of people who want us to succeed. Wrong.

You want America to fail. You know Trump is the answer to that problem. He’ll bring about that failure quicker than anyone else can and that why you’re okay with him. You and that Gerard dude who I’ve always known to be anti west will come here and dance with the republicans a little. Give them hope and then go to your other thread to laugh at them.

Definitely not experience. That’s for sure. I can see that.

He seems like he reads and communicates his ideas across well. If you have any experience in anything he talks about, you can see quickly that he’s speaking from a place of reading about it not actually experiencing it.

However his anti American stance is something he tries to hide when he comes here. I never paid attention to that until now. And it all makes sense now.

But, a US economic crash is not in everyone's interests.
There has to be some Republicans on the hill who want to get reelected.
Or do they think they own the media channels well enough to propagandize their way out of it?

Imagine.
The same istration that wanted these Air Traffic Controllers resign immediately, now there was an accident are now running their mouths about not enough ATCs.

This same type of thing is playing out in all industries that are regulated by the Fed. government. The difference is that for most of them we won't see the scope of their failures immediately like this.


Just a day before a deadly midair collision at Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C., employees at the Federal Aviation istration were sent an offer to resign with eight months’ pay.

The union for air traffic controllers recommended to its that they not accept Tuesday’s offer, because the FAA had not decided which positions would be included in the resignation plan. An official for the Office for Personnel Management, the U.S. government’s human resources arm, said Friday that controllers weren’t eligible for the resignation plan or subject to the hiring freeze across much of the rest of federal government.

What are the common sense thing you disagree with me on? Rather it's mostly emotional things like they don't like me, they don't like me. Like a pre teen shopping for friends.

Who are these people who don't like you and your offsprings Do you like them?

Why are you worried about people who don't like you?
Do you like everyone youve met in life? Why should they like you?

You keep going on about they like me, they don't like me like we are on a primary school yard

You dont like me, I don't like you too simple. When did life become about people liking me or not

You have the freedom to like anyone or not

What sort of petty response is this? Which one concern me with who you no like?

I am talking about your political naivety. Taking sides with the extreme wing of your "party" (who don't like blacks, and Latinos) and helping to hand power to them is political naivety of gargantuan proportions.

I don't care what you call it. What you call flushing of DEI by Trump is interpreted by these people as "go back to Africa..... every one of you". And so anything goes.

The fact that I have to spell this out to you is shocking me sir.

Absolutely Elon has worse intentions than the others.
You think this is me being hypocritical and you being non-hypocritical but it’s simply a lack of discerning insight.
All of them are the same. No billionaire loves to throw their money where they can not have leverage.

There is no difference between them, the only one difference is that Elon is open about his own while others care to operate from the shadows.

Most of the WEF and UN agencies operate according to their template too, not just the US politicians.

Oh they have started. Bookmark this post.

Trump is the face of their agenda. None of these ideas are his. He ran for president to avoid jail time. They promised him victory in exchange for being the scapegoat of what they want to achieve. After all anything is better than prison for a man like him.

That’s why these executive orders are coming in without pause. He doesn’t even know what he’s g. Have you watched him ask “what’s this one?” as they are handing him papers to sign and then he proceeds to sign?

When it’s time for him to go away (he won’t complete the presidency) they’ll have his settlement waiting for him somewhere where a dedicated handler will be by his side at all times making sure he doesn’t talk.

he was already starting to blab about how they didn’t need votes to win. I’m suspecting that may be why Elon had to move in with him at Mara Lago to keep an eye on him

With him out of the picture, JD Vance will take over. He’ll finish Trump’s term and do two of his own. That’s why a republican lawmaker was trying to introduce a third term bill. Trump is not who they have in mind for 3 .

After their 12 years are over (if it ever is) there will be no real institutions or govt agencies remaining. Schools will be private Christian schools that cost an arm and a leg and only the rich can afford to go.

Those black jobs he said illegal immigrants are taking (AKA field jobs) will be the majority of what’s available for black and brown people. Obviously no one can be black and qualified for something better . Has to be DEI.

Once he’s done demonizing DEI to the extent that he wants, what other option does an inherently unqualified non-white male have except field work? Unless you are a white woman. Then your place is have more babies and repopulate the declining aryan race.

These aren’t conjectures. It’s from the project 2025 that he “knows nothing about”. And the rest of it is even worse.
Wow!

Trump is a clown at this rate with the multiple EOs but on other issues about the 3rd term and Vance and other issues, that's basillico's template and you just sounded like him.

You said and I quote “If we had one China in each continent, and I don't mean population-wise but in of efficiency, the West would have already been put in their place.”

It is surprising, or maybe not, that you read my posts and had a wildly off-base assessment.

The US foreign policy for the past several decades has been atrocious.
You may not care as much about your roots, but I do.
The Global South has been treated badly by the US and the time to tolerate, give excuses, or hope for the best are over.

From interventionism to economic warfare, the Global South has had enough.
Interestingly, American citizens have little input in the actions of the State Department.
It is the desire of the collective Global South that Washington and its G7 club of hyenas are brought down several pegs so that the relentless sociopolitical offensive can subside.
Hopefully, that'll spark some introspection that'd bring serious changes in how the US relates with the South.

And then you said in a different post “ I'm also now looking forward to the next crash of the US economy.”

Yep, you're cherry-picking statements with intent to mislead.
The US economy has troughs and crests. It's a normal cycle.
We've had the longest period of economic growth going all the way back to WW2.
We're overdue for a crash.

Now, in the immediate post-Cold War era, the US polity had no powerful rivals and was relaxed in how it handled economic downturns.
With multipolarism now a foregone conclusion and the rise of BRICS, we're back to the Cold War era.
Back then, economic downturns elicited a fierce response to get back to growth as quickly as possible.
I anticipate a repeat/return of that policy MO.
Such that the next crash will be a stunning opportunity to add zeroes to my net worth.

You put a lot of act into appearing objective but your anti American sentiment can’t help but manifest itself inbetween the lines.

I used to argue a lot with people who I thought were smart but yet ed republican policies and I wondered what they saw that I didn’t. Turns out I was looking at them from the perspective of people who want us to succeed. Wrong.

Lord have mercy on you all.

America is fallible.
America has made avoidable mistakes.
An intense competitive environment will benefit America.
It has spent decades trying to enforce a horrendous echelon where it unilaterally picks winners and losers.
That era is naturally ending.

To meet the demands of the new world order, America needs far-reaching reforms.
Everyone recognizes this. And it is why Trump won the election and the political and business class have been mildly ive of his agenda.
Cutting waste and reducing bloat. Slashing the illegal alien population and reforming legal migration routes. Taking a sledgehammer to the existing regulatory regime. Rewriting its economic rules of engagement with allies and foes alike.
These moves and more are necessary to compete with an ascendant Global South and my financial health requires their rapid implementation sooner than later.

The Dems had a chance to hit reset, but they do not have the political will.
They prefer to focus on inanities like flying pride flags in embassies, putting tampons in men's bathrooms, organizing drag and commemorative shows, coining new acronyms to feed a wildly overrated consultancy complex, and pursuing the same old, tired routines that have caused so much pain in the Global South.

You guys had America on a death spiral.
For your sake, pray that Trump's reforms work.

-Lord

Maybe you need to see that I wasn't joking when I called him a clown. I have been against the EOs from day 1, not just for him but for all presidents.

And yes, I can stay out of the warzone the two sides play here, that's why we have Independents. They do not need to be deep into any party to or speak against a policy.

As a matter of fact, there's no difference between the right guys you condemn and your circle. Both of you are different sides of the same coin.
