IjeBos:Please help me sir. How could I possibly react to that? I mean the level of political naivety is so shocking, you can see why they voted for Trump. It's pure radicalisation. They cannot see reason any longer. They will vote against their own interests. A black man will deliberately ignore racial danger to himself, kinsmen, and offsprings, in the name of something that cannot be explained. |

basilico:This is clownish. The persistence of drugs is entrenched by demand and supply. Drugs are finding their way into the country because Americans are taking them. If drugs were coming in from Greenland and you blew Greenlands to smithereens, the supply will just come from elsewhere. The problem is not the origin of the drugs, it's where the demand is. But you are a MAGAT, you just scream TDS and close your brain. |

seunmsg:s/ means sarcasm chief IMAliyu2:https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits/habit-4/ Habit 4: Think Win-Win isn’t just about being nice. It’s a character-based code for human interaction and collaboration. “In the long run, if it isn’t a win for both of us, we both lose. That’s why win-win is the only real alternative in interdependent realities.”trump thinks he can run a win-lose game. ultimately any win-lose becomes lose-lose a zero sum game |

Ibime:Bold of you to go back 5 years to pick a post that you think tangentially decries your point. I wrote that during Trump 1.0. You're too obtuse to make sense of my thought process so you spout whatever blowhard nonsense you can think up, sprinkle in some buzzwords, hit "Submit". Yes, peace is expensive. America has contributed to global security and stability. The ISIS terrorists assassinated by the US in Syria and Somalia in the last few weeks are a net positive. The Axis and NATO had a rare collaboration in the early days of the War in Afghanistan. However, America has also recklessly abused its unipower status. For that reason, the global regime of a single superpower unilaterally setting the rules and forcing compliance has to end. Enter multipolarism. The solution is not to replace America in the echelon with China or Russia or Iran. The species has had enough of single dominating powers. As single dominating powers tend to behave horribly to retain their position. That's the nature of the beast. We need a system that's essentially a Venn diagram of blocs, each united by security interests, economic potential, geography, and several other factors. I can tell you that Russia, India, and Brazil would not have signed up for BRICS if they got the sense that Xi wants China to replace the US as the sole decision maker. The group will splinter if that ever became a real possibility. And yes, I am objective enough to acknowledge that the Axis Powers do have sections of their respective polity that could use some work and are prime for reform. I'm not a fan of mandating hijab in Iran or North Korea taking a significant part of the pay of its overseas workers and even restricting their movements in the Sino-Korean industrial clusters on Chinese borders. Interestingly, the American establishment which you and the other liberals on the thread pledge fealty to are beginning to accept the inevitability of multipolarism. Previously, it had been anathema. It was gospel in Washington that American security interests mandated that they retained sole superpower status at whatever cost. Thankfully, hard as they tried, the Global South persevered and now it is abundantly clear that the old international global order is dead. Now, you can keep brooding about that demise. But the Conservatives in the West recognize this is an historic opportunity to be at the table when fashioning a new global order. America needs reform so it can hope for excellent outcomes in the imminent Great Power Competition which I can assure you is good for the planet and its 8 million inhabitants. But maybe your thinking faculty can not rise above the low-level lizard-brain binary good v evil, Golden Billion v Rest of the World bifurcation. And that is fine. Pay your taxes. Call others who don't agree with you names. No one gives a sh*t. But some of us think as much about the suburban mom buying chocolate for her kids in Oregon as much as we do about the cocoa farmer holding his breath about price updates in Ivory Coast. And we can simultaneously have qualms with China disappearing billionaires and applaud its investment in cocoa processing in Ivory Coast that has led to higher value retention in Ivory Coast. I may not want China to replace the US as the sole superpower, but I want them to excel and be a bulwark/firewall to Western overreach. That I want the US to be compelled to cease its harmful foreign policy activities does not mean I want coco to lose her job and not be able to afford a European vacation. -Lord |

nateevs:You are the one seeing racial danger in a country you do not live. We don't buy the hysteria of the left. When normal people struggling to get ahead are blamed for another struggling person's success and failure All these emotional They don't like us, They don't like us is hilarious from the race baiters. People of all races have been nice to me and a few people of every race have been bad In your own personal life you have not experienced racism according to you and I asked what is your secret? Or these people who don't like you or your offsprings don't get to see you and notice your color |

FBi in the cross hairs . An assistant special agent in charge of FBI opened the investigation into Trump elector case. He went out of protocol. Senator Grassely has questioned and provided details with supporting emails. This is huge.He mentioned this agent in his opening statement at Kash Patel nomination hearing. https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-johnson-make-public-whistleblower-records-revealing-doj-and-fbi-plot-to-pin-trump-in-jack-smith-elector-case This agent, Thibault an anti Trump agent was forced to resign after Grassely questioned FBI Wray . The FBI has not released to the Senate documentation demanded. FBI and Garland DOJ. Rotten to the core |

nateevs:I agree with you. I'm convinced Raumdeuter doesn't believe the stuff he currently argues. I think there is more going on with him. He used to think Trump was a racist with racist supporters. Just read his own words not too long ago. raumdeuter:The most charitable I can be is he sees it as a team sport and he must defend his side at all costs. It's troll like. But I'm really not sure how anyone can knowingly support or even argue in favor of people who are out to harm people who look like them esp. their children. Because I think he knows better it makes him more deplorable. IMHO, you won't get anywhere with him as he's very practiced in his intellectual dishonesty. |

nateevs:There are addictive drugs that hook you the first time as I've heard. Drug mules will give you a day or two free supply knowing on the third day you will sell your goats and chicken. A lot of hard drug pushers were enticed by someone who knew what he/she was doing. That's it for demand and supply. Weed like you seem to be high takes time before one is addicted.Of course if you are doing weed it's easy to graduate to heroine or cocaine or fentanyl. Mexico esp can stop drug trafficking or they can be forced to. Which is what these tarriffs are all about. Do something else your economy will be affected. That's rocket science. I'm not surprised you are just hoping the effort to halt illegals and drug trafficking by Trump fail miserably. |

LordAdam16:So Russia annexing Crimea was wicked to you as at Trump 1.0 but attacking Ukraine wotoporiously more to annex 4 regions during Biden era was the best thing since sliced bread You are a confused, immoral, wicked and anywhere belle-face fellow. |

IjeBos:Who are those out there to harm you? If anyone is out to harm you then probably its a problem with you personally, You claimed you have been stopped by cops multiple times at gun point, I havent. My interactions with cops have been respectful everytime You claimed in you minor visit to UK you experienced racism, People who lived in UK like nateevs and buda claimed they havent Maybe there is something specific to you that attracts harm to you. You have to check yourself first Bringing up my post from years back shows that sensible human evaluate their positions when they have more information I have more information about trump now and know he is not all those things, which is why mor eblack people voted for him than in 2016, they evaluate the information they got and reviewed their positions A perpetual victim like you wont know anything about that. I am sure in your sleep you experience racism and harm like Jussie Smollet |

raumdeuter:He said he got more recent information about Trump and concluded he was wrong in initially calling him a racist. Lol. Imagine, someone watching Trump the last few years and saying that made him believe he was not a racist. Lol Keep up that intellectually dishonest energy. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 5:14pm On Feb 02, 2025 |
IjeBos:that's why more black people n others voted him stupid. They watched him and realized they had been told a lie. |

Ibime:Russia's evil in Crimea was during Obama. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by LordAdam16: 5:25pm On Feb 02, 2025 |
Ibime:Yes. Russia was correct to launch the SMO and in hindsight the decision to annex Crimea was the right one. A powerful wing of MAGA accepts that NATO provoked Russia into adopting military means to push back on its eastward expansion. If the US did not behave so awfully on the international scene, the Global South would not need the likes of Iran and North Korea to be its vanguard. But we don't choose our heroes when there's a bad actor out there that needs to understand the error of its ways. Yes, the US under the neocons and neoliberals has been a bad actor internationally in many respects. Yap until the chickens come home, Trump is POTUS. Crimea + Novorossiya is Russia. BRICS is expanding. The Global South is becoming more economically relevant. The old order is dead. I'm excited to see the fruits of Trump's reforms and a more disciplined US that welcomes fair competition with other blocs. -Lord |

LordAdam16:Two things can be right at the same time. Russia was wrong to take Crimea and also, the West could have forced them to play that card. Ukraine has the right to decide its future, Russia is acting based on what it perceives as a threat. China is doing the same thing. If the US starts pushing more in Taiwan, it may force China to go in quickly and secure Taiwan. this Tucker Carlson and foolish Candace Owens wing of Maga believes America is provoking Russia, China, and Iran. America was minding its business in WW2 and they were bombed. If NATO or American allies are weak, America won't be spared when the time comes |

The condoms to Gaza were stated by the WH press spox . She would not lie on such a matter,because someone who knows better would have denied.instead it's the enemedia casting doubts on that issue because they know half the country will believe them. DOGE if unconstitutional should have been blocked by a judge The president should have powers to create federal bodies . The purpose seems noble enough , DOGE is only there for a specified time and they are not drawing a salary. They are not spending your money. It seems you have other reasons for hating DOGE. I post here for my own references and to bash liberals. cococandy: |
