The USA Political Thread

Samer said:

I dont think you understand.

If the article was wack; (with regards to take on GS) will call it out. What makes it jucier, beside the fact?
They are leftist or tend to lean left. Maybe more nuanced than i made it seem; but “Marketwatch” also adds on Political commentary.

If JB posted this article (recent; updated 7 hours ago)
i would not clown CNN’s leftist politics.
Here is an example of Halley’s Comet.
They gave facts like stock prices, reddit group,
and even what he tweeted with a link to the tweet. Not Hitler, Brad. (today Holocaust remembrance day btw)

This is CNN business. I gave credit to this piece on anyone who wants find more about Gamestop stock.
This still would not preclude me for following their political coverage, but when you stick to a topic, and purely that topic, without projecting left bias (Finance).Show attachment 180746

Thanks to you guys actually. All those anti-following guidelines posts = more sickness, death, hurting our economy. Thanks Trumpers.

"Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve kept its policy measures steady, as expected, but Chairman Jerome Powell offered a sober outlook for the ecoomy and market against the backdrop of the raging pandemic."

Trump's failure with Covid, vaccine distribution. That will be fixed.

This Gamestop stuff

"But it was intensifying speculative behavior among retail investors that was causing the most concern. Heavily shorted names, including GameStop and AMC Entertainment, continued to be pushed higher by amateur day traders in online chat rooms. Some investors are worried about mounting losses by hedge funds spilling over to other areas of the market as those funds sell other securities to raise cash. Investors are also concerned the speculative behavior is a sign the market is overvalued and a pullback is near."

I'm not wrong. You're doing revisionist history.

You've been supporting Trump daily for 4 years, now you don't want to be a Trumper.

While you might have been following guidelines yourself, I said messaging. You were posting about not wearing masks, they don't work etc. Called this a Plandemic.

You did support throwing out votes. You did say election was rigged. You were ok with your own state having less drop off locations.

I supported Trump because he was good for the country. You're the revisionist looking to blame other people.

JB Lions said:

He was not good for the country. Failed at Covid/Economy, ended with Insurrection. Lost the House, Senate and Presidency, is this what goes for good?

This ongoing nonsense about sources.

I used Marketwatch and CNBC.

Which are your favorite?

Samer you really need to broaden your horizons. Everything you don't believe is biased, hacks, fake news, etc.

You have even called things that are objectively true and easily verifiable fake. You have done it time and again in this thread.

I have been supporting the Right here for 4 years ... not Donald Trump and that is in this thread many times .. yes .. this is a plandemic to me ... I never said the election was rigged .... I said there were far to many suspicious things happening at the vote counting centers .. and there were ... I was ok with my state having less drop boxes .. yes ... my state won by 770,000 votes Trump = Right ... that is worse than a landslide .. drop boxes as we can clearly see right today.. weren’t even necessary as people here went to the polls to vote as Texas election law only allows for absentee voting ..

You are 100% incorrect when you state I supported throwing votes out of the election

Cool, wouldn't it have been nice if your state actually respected the rights of other states to run their own elections instead of some moron named Ken Paxton filing a frivilous lawsuit vs 4 other states that they didn't like the results in.

Meanwhile states that expanded voting like NC, where Trump won. They are cool with that

that was Ken Paxton’s opinion and actions ... Texans in general. Focused on our state ... we care about the country ... but our state is our priority ... what other states do law wise doesn’t concern the majority that live here ..

Just like Ted Cruz . ... somethings we agree with ... some we don’t ... at the end of the day we are looking at how our state is

Ironic quote coming from Governor Nipplerings.

It really does highlight the divide between Democrats/GOP and conservatives/libertarians. The former believes the solution to incompetent government is more such government. The latter believes the solution is less government - because governments are incompetent by nature.

The good news is Ken Paxton did not get that pardon he was angling for. He can only delay the criminal fraud proceedings against him for so long.

Good luck with that. The US is unique among nations in that they continue to tax you wherever you live in the world - you are considered the personal livestock of Washington DC. The only way out is to renounce, which in most countries is just a process of saying it out loud. In the US, it's at least a $3000 application fee, a waiting list and an "exit tax," whereby you are relieved of 30% of your lifetime wealth (unless you are broke, in which case the $3000 will do). And after that, you will trouble even visiting the US, as (like North Korea) they consider people who leave the country by choice to be "traitors."

Tell me. Why would a free country behave this way?
