thplinth Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Oh dear. So turns out our american based troll and massive Ukraine war monger is a big democrat supporter. Shocker. 😃 It is amazing how foaming at the mouth for it these roasters are. I thought Bush and Cheney were as bad as it gets in the States but these current democrat wankers are different level psychotic morons. Looks like he popped his babychams and it went a bit to his head before coming on the TAMB steaming. No doubt re-surface in an hour or two. Could be early celebrations though looking at the results so far. Squeaky bum time in the senate, less close in the house. After the dodgeyness of 2020 cant say I am hugely surprised the democrats did 'better than expected'. What I am certain of is that it wont make a damn bit of difference (especially to me) which side 'wins'. When are the final results known. Wish I taken 40/1 on the democrats getting the senate. That looks unbelievable value right now. Edited November 9, 2022 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I think it is really noticeable how the traditional left of centre parties have changed. Tulsi Gabbard explains this in her Leaving the Democrats video. The Democrats used to be anti-war and now they are stacked with neocon warmongers slavering for it and with Russia this time. You see the same in the UK. Where are the antiwar voices now versus the left wing of old. Salmond used to be a rare thorn in Tony Blair's side during his Iraq war lies and we saw what they did to him... And what is also noticeable (especially on here) is this slavish allegiance with the current crop of Sturgeon SNP and the US democrats. Prior to 2014 I dont ever recall thinking the SNP support was inclined (or particularly interested in) one way or the other (republican v democrat v whatever in the US). But this current lot act and talk almost as if they are all one party with the US democrats. So you should definitely watch the Tulsi Gabbard video on why she left. There are lot of parallels with Sturgeon led SNP (IMHO. Woke war mongers. Not the combination you would really expect from the left of old.

thplinth Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Yeah it surprises a lot of people to learn that it was the democrats who owned the slaves, opposed abolishing slavery and were responsible for all the Jim Crow Laws which were enforced until as recently as 1965! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the Southern United States.[1] Other areas of the United States were affected by formal and informal policies of segregation as well,[2] but many states outside the South had adopted laws, beginning in the late 19th century, banning discrimination in public accommodations and voting.[3] Southern laws were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Southern Democrat-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by African Americans during the Reconstruction period.[4] Jim Crow laws were enforced until 1965.[5] So I guess ending the democrats natural tendencies to enslave black people and introduce racial apartheid laws that stayed in force long after they were freed would be 'republican policies' which seem pretty supportable to me as an outsider. We can only assume from the deafening silence here and the sudden desire to talk only about right now that our democrat loving chum is (still) against these policies, of freeing the slaves and repealing the jim crow laws. Beyond freeing the slaves and ending racial apartheid I am running a bit low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Slavery was only abolished in 1865 and the Jim Crow laws in 1965... it is really not that long ago. So for the so called 'modern day' democrats to call the republicans racists and white supremacists takes a truly remarkable brass neck. It is a complete role reversal from a historical perspective. That is why people are usually quite shocked to learn it was the democrats and not the republicans who historically were the slave owners and fulminating apartheid era racists up until as recently as 1965. One could argue racism is in their DNA and this is now projection on the republicans but who am I to say. It wont matter who wins.

phart Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Looks like the run off in Georgia is moot in the sense of who controls the senate. Nevada been called for Dem incumbent.

thplinth Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 "The results amount to the best midterm performance for a sitting party in 20 years." Probably the least convincing result I have ever seen in US politics. Even more unbelievable than Biden getting 81 million votes in 2020.

He made the announcement last week, before the results of the midterms, that he’d be making an announcement today. General thinking is that he’ll be humiliated if he doesn’t announce he’ll be standing and also he thinks that somehow being a candidate for President will give him some form of immunity from all the various legal cases going on. It doesn’t of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocky Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) So he's running. MAGAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Make America great and glorious again . Last time thought it was a joke, I underestimated the stupidity of the average American voter, as I did with the Gee Dubbleya elections So although I think his bubble has burst, you never know. Best case is the republican party throw him out and he runs as an independent. He certainly fills the news schedules.
