very reminiscent of the 1840 Presidential election of William Henery Harrison vs Martin Van Buren. (What, no? Im a great time at partys, shut up, NO, YOU ARE CRYING!) Buren tired to use the strategy of the "Le epic sick burn" by painting Harrison and his party as the party of 'log cabins and hard cider". Unsurprisingly the American people very much identified POSITIVELY rather than the, for some reason, anticipated negative response, and voted in droves for the "log cabin" candidate who leaned hard into the charactarization by giving out little toy log cabins to children and hard cider to prospective voters.

This is unironically why I love this site. Well explained and very fun.

small kind words like that do more good for the world than I think any of us give them credit for, I appreciate it friend

Extra fun fact that campaign, (Known as the Log Cabin Campaign) was where we get the word "Booze" from!

@Sweeter and Savoury Can you post actual sources please? Literally every time you make some wild claim you just link to a random YouTube video from some rando political influencer that proves nothing.

It's very annoying and clutter the thread.

dude the "random JewTuber" reads out the whole suit, that's why I link it. He reads it word for word what more do you want?

I don't have unlimited time or patience. A short text based summary in an article is a much more efficient way of conveying information than 30+ minutes of some Ben Shapiro clone smirking, shrugging, and sighing dramatically before he gets to the fucking point.

I second the motion.

I hate doomers and dooming so this isn't a doompost just factual statements--the GOP has several major problems it has to address before midterms.

The biggest one is voter apathy. The presidential election gets the media firing everyone up, the downballots/special elections don't get the hype and tend to go under the radar. Conservatives need to take five minutes to read about their state and local upcoming elections and then vote, period. Expecting everyone else to do what you can't be bothered to is what got us into this mess.

The second is fraud. Dems still have their grassroots game and again, the repubs can't be bothered. You can't put it all at the feet of the RNC either. State parties need to get their base interested in voting and monitoring elections.

Third is lack of decent candidates. Politics is now a big grift and finding somewhat honest people with a bit of integrity who are willing to stick their neck out and take the abuse from the other side is difficult. But it can be done, it just takes some EFFORT.

Will the GOP rise to these challenges? We'll see. It starts when apathetic citizens do the bare minimum--vote. If they won't even do that...well, I won't go into doom territory, and I remain optimistic. Commence with the rainbows.

well golly geeze guy, I'm sorry I can't summarize complex political issues in 4 words or less like your mommy does.

If you don't want to read my posts then don't. Don't read em, don't respond, problem solved.

This is more difficult than you may assume. All of my local city council/school board candidates run on platitudes and none of them mention any concrete policies. The only way to figure out who is good or not is to look at endorsements and assume that conservative groups endorse conservatives and leftist groups endorse leftists.

Nonpartisan elections are dumb because no candidate is truly nonpartisan.
 
Tabletmag might be one of the best online news sites. The article is worth a read for anyone else interested. His ideas about "conspiracies" tend to line up well with my own. You can't just say "Da Joos" you have to give names, dates, give as much evidence/specifics as you can. If for no other reason that how is saying "Da joos" going to help you? I also didn't know about his father Dick Carlson bankrupting Look magazine. Interestingly enough before he became a journalist, Dick was in ROTC later to be "discharged" (read glowie). The article claims Tucker's uses an,
"invocation of shadowy, all-powerful forces like “the deep state,” whose power is so great that it is impossible to even name them, let alone fight them."
Tucker had a 2 hour talk with Mike Benz on USAID.
"Above all, there is the reflexive inversion of good and evil, whether in the case of World War II, or Vladimir Putin, or Israel’s war against Hamas, which puts his listeners on the side of people (Nazis, Russian dictators, Muslim terrorists) they have formerly and rightfully regarded as America’s enemies, and nudges them toward accepting current Democratic Party establishment wisdom (Israel is bad; Iran is good; there is no such thing as terrorism; good and evil don’t exist) under the guise of being “free-thinkers” and “questioning authority.”"
What if you think good and evil exist, but that Israel/Russia/Iran aren't a priori good or evil? I don't think it matters who kills civilians, be they American, Israeli, Muslim terrorist, Russian, Nazi etc. It's also true that all of these aforementioned groups have killed civilians. So to claim some kind of moral superiority on the one of these groups is laughable. One of my main goals with my critiques of power structures is in hopes that all parties kill fewer innocence. It isn't to "strengthen Americas enemies", but the power of truth is a disinfectant for evil and corruption.
Do “Zionists” control Congress by assigning “minders”
I don't think Zionists completely control every congressman. But it should be obvious to anyone that when 27% of Netenyahu's speech was applause some kind of mossad network is operating in Washington. That doesn't mean I'm against working with Israel at all. Or that the Israelis are the only power network operating in Washington.
But is it wrong to ask these questions? The answer is yes—not because they violate social taboos, or exacerbate hatreds, but because they are demonstrably nonsense.
It is wrong to ask the questions, because the answers to them are wrong. Don't ask how I can answer a question, before asking it.
what it means to be an American, which is a simple, life-changing act of allegiance: It means accepting the promise of freedom that is written in the country’s founding documents and has been renewed in every generation by the creativity and sacrifice of brave men and women.
The Naturalization Act of 1790, "Free White men... of good character"
This article never mentions in anyway how Iran or Qatar is influencing or giving money to Tucker Carlson.

Trying to figure out if this applies for cars or not. Israelis have to pay 13 percent VAT and 87 percent purchase tax on all cars.
You might get rid of the 13% VAT as trump considers VAT to be basically the same as a tariff. But the 87% purchase tax will definitely remain as it's an emissions tax and has (in the twisted mind of the politicians) nothing to do with exchange of goods.
 
Nonpartisan elections are dumb because no candidate is truly nonpartisan.
California claims positions are nonpartisan and you're not allowed a D/R next to your name on a lot of very important races, it's really bullshit and highlights the subterfuge they'll pull to get people to ignore Dems being Dems. Last time I voted I just looked at individual websites and a far left "THESE ARE NAZIS!!!" facebook page to choose who I'd vote for lmfao
 
Buy Gold, Bitcoin, or sealed MTG, everything else is subject to more manipulation than you can fathom, those other 3 are still manipulated but its in the realm of fathom ability.
Only real place to invest is your business. Other things might hold their value but, expanding your business allows you to make more. Plus tax benefits.

Enter Omeed Malik. Now Tucker Carlson’s main financial backer, Malik was a New York-based investment banker and money manager who was described by the Daily Caller—the conservative website in which he abruptly decided to invest a large chunk of money in 2020—as a “lifelong Democrat” and a donor to left-wing political candidates and causes. While it is possible to imagine that at the height of anti-Trump feeling in 2020 Malik decided to abandon his lifelong political allegiance to the Democratic Party and become a Republican instead, that would make him a rather unusual—even unique—figure, especially among wealthy Muslim Democrats living in New York City. But again, anything is possible.
Malik’s day job is running Farvahar Partners, a boutique investment bank he founded. While boutique Wall Street investment banks have no obligation to be transparent about their investors—and are often valued for doing the opposite—a possible clue as to the source of at least some of the money Malik manages, might be found in the name he chose for his enterprise. The farvahar is a symbol of the soul and of the idea of life after death that is common among peoples of Persian ancestry. Post-1979, it became a favorite national symbol among the Iranian diaspora.
Or perhaps the coincidence of that symbolism has nothing to do with this story at all. Perhaps Malik and Carlson simply met one night at a bar by chance and found they agreed about more than they disagreed on, including the idea that Zionists are bad, America’s involvement in World War II was bad, Adolf Hitler is misunderstood, and Winston Churchill is a villain, and the lifelong Democrat Malik then handed over a large chunk of his own personal savings on the spot so that Tucker Carlson could found a new right-wing media empire centered around himself. I.e., both men are morons.

I love their articles but they are insanely long. Their interview with RFK or their expose of Obama were two of the best articles ive ever read
 
On the down side Trump might reall lose this one, the Constitution really does leave the laws about elections to the indivudal states but Trump's team argues that the EO has no effect on the States, they can still operate the election machine as they wish but just that Voter ID is a univeral standard. Kinda of big reach IMHO but we will see as this sucker will reach the SCOTUS with so many heavy hitter behind it on
Can we say 2020 repeat here, this is basically trading legitimacy to just end up slowing down Trump.
 
The CO House Committee has voted 7-4 to pass a radical transgender bill that makes "misgendering" a "discriminatory act," takes children away from parents who "deadname" or "misgender," and pushes gender ideology in all schools, including private and charter. All the Democrats on the committee voted for the legislation and all Republicans voted against it.
