The Trump Presidency 2.0

The victims of 9/11 elected a terrorist sympathizer that preached "Globalize the Intifada". It's time for NYC Jews to leave and take their money with them.

The crazy thing- Jewish folks vote overwhelmingly D. Like, forever. 45% of Jews voted for Trump this last election cycle (up from 30%), but estimates on Jewish voting for Democrats is as high as 73% in some estimates, as low as around 63% in others.

Leaving won't help- they'll need to hold their nose and vote for Adams. Guess we will see if "it's bad enough" in Gotham.
 
I'm very much a "make the people live in what they voted for," but the problem is, what happens in NYC doesn't stay in NYC. It affects the entire state that I live in. Also, I have semi-regular trips to NYC, and the far-left policies implemented there adversely affect both quality of life and public safety. More importantly, it negatively affects the safety of my wife and daughters, who often go to NYC without me, and who aren't 6'5" 250# men who spent 27 years in the Army and can legally carry a firearm in the city.

I think one of the major differences between Mayor Adams and looks-like-he's-gonna-be-Mayor Mamdani is that the latter is really going to do these kinds of things:

My daughter's a lesbian so I know I skew to the left on that topic compared to the rest of this forum.

That said, when the SECOND reason to defund the police is citing them as "anti-queer" you need to get the fuck out of here. "Racist?" Um, right or wrong I understand it as a talking point. "A threat to public safety?" That's an amazing leap, but you do you. "Anti-queer" as a reason, even if responding to a very specific complaint is asinine. Those are your best arguments? Those are arguments at all?

Let it burn, they deserve whatever they get in return.

It's crazy. Philly region, especially the Township I work, there's still a good amount of jews and while the town is moving more ghetto-ish, the jews are still there.

The amount of "hate has no home here, black lives matter or you're safe in this home" is astounding.

I've said it before, I'll never understand why jews vote D.
 
The big city sheep will NEVER accept or admit that the REAL threat is not the wolves - it's not even the sheepdog.
The real threat is the shepherd.
Sure, a wolf may get in and grab a snack every now and then but the wolves really do only take what they need to survive.
Wolves are part of the natural order. Sheepdogs are not.
The sheepdog may bite a few ankles or nip a few asses now and then.
The shepherd simply sits back and profits from the very lives of the sheep that make up the flock.
The shepherds breed them and feed them - for the shepherds' own table.
The shepherd doesn't tend the flock as pets; the flock is exploited for personal gain.
Then of course there is the modern desire for the self righteous to pretend they are the noble sheep dog - protecting and serving.
Well - that's bullshit too...

The shepherd only employs the sheepdog as a way of keeping the flock in line to protect the investment. Sheep dogs don't actually "protect" the sheep from the wolves. Sheep dogs "preserve" the sheep for the shepherds. The sheep dogs job is to nip and bite the sheep to keep them in line. All the while, the sheep complain that the sheep dog is oppressing them when it is actually the shepherd that bears responsibility.

The problem in modern politics is that the Shepherd has learned how to exploit the wolves as well as the sheep. The shepherd can always rely on the threat of "wolves at the door" to scare the sheep into compliance.
The Shepherd can blame the brutality of the sheepdogs for the cruel domestic treatment.
The shepherd can blame the incompetence sheepdogs for the intrusions committed by the wolf pack.
In the end the shepherd will even save money by divesting sheepdog expenditures under the guise of making the flock safer by protecting them from the sheep dog.
In the end, the wolves will still feed on the flock when they get hungry and the shepherd will still exploit the flock for their wool, their milk, and their flesh.


Big city folks need to learn that shit.
 
This guy (Mamdani) immigrated to America at age 7- and now wants to hold public office on the policy platform of socialism (which is communism) and banning all guns. Not "assault weapons", not "rifles"... all guns. I was under the impression that it was in the constitution, and he didn't have that authority.

We (the board and America writ large) aren't ready for this conversation yet, but when we are, I am going to have some unpopular opinions on immigrants and holding public office. The unfortunate thing is I am going to have a great data set (from illegal immigrants, to terrorist sympathizer/apologists, to communist socialists) to use in that conversation.

For every Arnold, we have an Ilhan. For every Ro Khanna, we have a Mamdani- and the net positives of each of the former are exponentially lower than the net negatives of the latter.

Imagine. Imagine if this comes to fruition.

I know people will focus on Gaza, but expanding the AA is massive...and expansion for some nations is predicated upon resolving the Palestinian issue. You know who was really wanted to sign back in 2021? The Saudis.

Another fun fact people forget is who mediated those accords? Trump 1.0's administration.

IF, and I'm skeptical but want to see this play out however it ends, but IF they end Gaza and expand the AA? The Nobel vote should be a formality. I can hear the protests now, "From the river to the sea. Wait, are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!" Annnnnnnnnd scene.
 
I wonder how many American 'ex-pats' that hold views that are openly caustic to the country they are living in, are later elected to public office at the level of Mayor, Governor, Senator, or Congressional Representative???

Probably a lot.
Tons.

In fact, I'll bet there are Americans all over the world working to change foreign governments from within as part of a global effort to "make the world America".

For what its worth - even as I type this - I am pondering the possibility of becoming the Minister of Commerce in someplace like Iran or Cuba so that I can work to finally make Persian Rugs and Cuban cigars available to the American consumer - because FUCK Cuba and Iran...
...all I need to do is come up with a viable campaign strategy
