Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

[Box]

I think its not only possible but probable that the left - the media - and the DNC in general - could spend years gaslighting the American public by using a spotlight on peoples social media accounts - WITHOUT it having to be in any way tied to some hysterical belief in a deep underground state that is orchestrating some complex global conspiracy.

There is a cross section of society that goes to the same flavor of school that is taught by the same flavor of communist sympathizer that gets the same flavor of grandiose ideas about conflict theory and how good socialism is if we would "just do it it correctly" and they all believe that same shit that the rest of their class mates believe - and then when they get jobs as political apologists or "journalists" - they stand around and congratulate each other for how great their "original ideas"
...and it doesn't need to be a dark conspiracy to be 'possible'

Believing that a bunch of like minded people that went to the same schools and currently work in the same industry could be gas lighting EVERYONE that doesn't think like them without it being some nefarious Hollywood-like conspiracy plot seems VERY probable.


...but thats just my biased hypocritical overly judgemental right leaning opinion

There's an easy way to tell. Watch/read what they say.

If they add opinion to it and using talking points meant to change or confirm POV's, then they're colluding with what you had just mentioned.

If they're presenting it to us without opinion and staying apolitical so that we can decide for ourselves to make an informed decision without trial's by media talking points, then they are not.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

From the ‘article’:

They think that some investors might have had foreknowledge of the shooting, but there’s no evidence they’re right.​

We are not entertaining ‘shooting’ conspiracy theories.

 

[DA SWO]

Traveling, so my time on the board is limited.
A. What stupid post did Trump put out?
B. Mean tweets, LOL, how dare Trump act like a Democrat. Trump won by using the Dem play book against his Republican opponents in the primaries, then against Hillary in the election. I like the fact he fights back. I like mean tweets.
Policies matter more than personalities.

 

[Marauder06]

There are times (like now) that I wish the same 19 year old interns running Biden’s account, were also running Trumps. I will forever believe that Trump would have been reelected had he stayed off social media.

What did he say this time?

 

[Box]

Hillary calls people irredeemable and deplorable - panders to the 'bottle of hot sauce in her purse' crowd - says that you have to have TWO agendas, one for the voters and the one you are ACTUALLY going to pursue - her husband sodomized a government clerk in the oval office - Obama smoked so much dope in college that they called his circle of friends the choom gang - Biden calls people dog faced pony soldier - challenges people to push up contests - golf rounds - berates them - tells cripples to stand up and take a bow - and he has been doing it for decades
...and these mother fuckers are somehow "presidential"

Trumps posts silly shit on social media - literally the home stadium for outrageous comments - and suddenly - his fly is open and we can see his nonpresidentialness

I'll take mean tweets and and egomaniacally driven swagger - over a self righteous, pretentious, holier than though, two faced, cocksucker in a brooks brothers suit - every day of the week, and twice on Sunday


...but thats just me - I am guilty of confirmation bias and partisan hypocrisy of the highest order

I already posted that the Secret Service denied the Trump Campaigns requests for additional security. It may not be a conspiracy, but there is gross negligence occurring which leads to greater threats being viable.

The Secret Service chief has got to go. Not only did this clown-shoes assassination attempt come within inches of success, she also bad bungled the response, which included shifting the blame onto local law enforcement and then the "sloped roof." I think much of America has lost confidence in the Service and in her particularly. Time to go.

You think Harris and her team are dumb enough to allow her to debate Trump?

I think VP Harris will do OK against Pres Trump. She'll get overmatched, but not like with Pres Biden. The political-media complex will be able to spin whatever she says / does in a way that they weren't able to do for Pres Biden.

At the end of the day, all she really has to do is "not be Trump."

I just remember her last debate ended her run at the White House. My liberal friends think the idea of a prosecutor debating a "felon" is too good to pass up. Yeah, but...Trump's poll numbers with Black Americans are on the rise and her policies as a prosecutor put a ton of Black men behind bars.

(Cue McDonald's theme) I'm lovin' it.

agree. In fact, I believe debating Kamala would go bad for Trump. She will be able to form coherent sentences and will be prepared. Not to mention, the MSM will lionize her and praise her performance while attacking Trump full on. The best choice is for Trump to drive home how unpopular she is and her utter uselessness, as well as her record on crime.

Did I miss something?

 

[Jaknight]

Did I miss something?

No, I just think debating Kamala won’t go well for Trump due to how they're going to frame it. As long as she doesn’t stumble over her words and expressions, she will be touted as the winner.

 

[The Quartermaster]

The people who proclaim whom to be the winner, were also the same ones who called the riots mostly peaceful.

Either they think that we're this stupid to have believed that or the cognitive dissonance is real.

More than one thing can be true. I believe it's both.

 

[Topkick]

@ Jaknight I see your point. Watching yesterday, the media has already taken sides. But as VP she's been nothing but a walking word salad. She is certainly no wordsmith.

 

[The Quartermaster]

My biggest pet peeve is being lied to. I won't care if all they have for a position is an emotional "Well I just don't like it and I'm sorry but I that's how I feel. I may not have an actual position but it's what my heart wants" which despite being illogical, is still showing actual honest to god integrity.

Instead we get BS after BS fricking logical fallacies of the dubious, most wretched, and the nefarious spoken kind. And no admittance or perhaps even conceding that they might be for a once, be in the wrong.

Both sides do it, and it irks me that folks would rather make it up as they go along rather than to be honest or even have the intestinal fortitude to put their pettiness aside and at least speak with civil discourse with no boundaries being pushed or forced on the other. It's all indefensible as an argument to not do it, IMO of course.

Brother, Trump is mostly word salad if hes not reading off of a teleprompter as well.

He had an exceptionally good night against Biden, but he also seemed to be very prepped and uncommonly reserved.

Trump beats Harris in a debate if he comes into it with the posture he did in the last one.

If he comes in aggressive and off the cuff, his chances of saying some crazy shit shoot up exponentially.
