I voted for Trump in 2016. My attitude toward that was more of less what was echoed over at Western Rifle Shooters: "He's not my candidate...he's my choice of murder weapon". Specifically toward the "establishment." Not that he was going to take them out, but that they would be willing to destroy themselves to get rid of him. Ahab just couldn't resist getting that whale.

I'll vote for him in 2020. And not for MAGA or other silliness. My reason is pretty simple: every calorie they spend fighting him is a calorie they don't have to fuck with me and mine.

I don't need to kill the dinosaur. It's already dying. I'm just go to stay out of the way of it's tail as it thrashes about on the ground.

Saw a piece on YouTube about why Xi will lament if Trump lose his job.

Reasons... second term, no need to worry if he is screwing up his re-election, no longer need to play tough guy in any negotiation with China.. he has all the worries for his and his families' booties after the next 4 years, so setting up bridges and roads to strengthens his holdings would be his prime concern, and countries can be generous on business dealings with those willing to deal...

Don't know if that was set up to help or hurt Trump, but laughed my ass off watching that.

I think TheOrangeMenace may win despite his efforts to lose. He'll absolutely bitch slap Biden in the debates. People will long forget about Nixon sweating once TheOrangeMenace bends Sleepy Joe and cornholes him on national television. It's going to be so bad that Sleepy Joe may step aside. Watch and see but it's going to be epic. And that will be with him debating Joe and the three moderators.

You watch them put Kamala on the ticket as VP at which point nobody will give a fuck if Biden literally falls over dead on stage; they'll still vote for him.

At which point the Civil War commences, since one large portion calls "BULLSHIT!" while the other screams "YOU'RE JUST RACISS!" (even though she's not black and no one cares what color the whore who literally blew herself to her political positions).

The big question: how many of us are too jaded and no longer cares if it all comes apart?

We're fucked. There will be no happy ending here; there is no going back to 'normal.'. There are only bad outcomes and worse outcomes. And we don't get to choose those, either.

Yeah it ain't gonna be fun. You can bet your last nickel that the VP pick will be either her or someone indistinguishable from her. I'd put her in the 90% probability slot at present, which is real bad.

Then she will keep private conference with him 2 to 3 times a day right after he swears in. She has to make sure he keeps her brief off completely, in case he goes to his happier place.

Right here.

History lesson:

Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create bad times.
Bad times create strong men.

Everything else is just fill in the blanks.

I think we would be in unanimous agreement that we came off good times and now have weak men running the show. Rather than putting it off, let's rip the bandaid off and get the party started. We need really shitty times to create the next generation of strong men.

The Boomer men need to be put out to pasture, as they are the vanguard of weak men. They had the easiest life.

GenX men need to step the fuck up, or join the rest of the Boomer cucks. They could lead the effort.

Millenial men are largely a waste, especially those that grew up in the cities. Rural/military Millennials will probably be good soldiers in the CW2. Most urban Millennial men will curl up in the fetal position as soon as some Iraq war vet shows up and announces he is all out of bubble gum.

Zoomers will be entirely shaped by the 2020+ shitshow. I can see them actually being the willing muscle to enforce the resolution to CW2.

History could be more linear, but human nature is what drives this and is immutable. Thus, history is cyclical.


Bullets or boxcars...your choice.

I think Trump will let the US Mail run out of money, and not reach a deal. They'll say "Amazon has to pay 1200% more in shipping or post office workers pay has to be cut". They'll time it so they go on strike in October. Late October and early November, there will be no US Mail. Cheat-by-mail won't work. The Dems aren't exactly rocket scientists so they'll never see this coming.

I have three minions. Whoever tries the boxcar route will not find it easy.

I didn't vote for Trump last time but will this time. His accomplishment was the outing of the deep state for all to see, no hiding behind the fictions of a free press, an independent judiciary, the rule of law, the will of the people expressed thru the ballot box being suspreme, the peaceful transfer of power via the vote, the president being the most powerful man in the free world, all of these he has proven to be lies in our present day country. That's a lot to have
accomplished in 4 years.

The main thing - and hell, only from my view - that Trump has done to make me happy is send the press and libtards (but I repeat myself) into irrational fits of rage ("REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!") on an hourly basis.

Honestly, I think we're fucked no matter who gets to sit in the Oval Office for the crash of the American Empire. I might vote for Trump just because it pisses off the people I loathe with every fiber of my being. I have no delusions that voting will make a difference in the eventual outcome.

Hillary Clinton thinks she would handle coronavirus pandemic better than Trump, would beat him in November

Quote:

She went on to say that while it is not on the cards for her to run for the presidency again, she believes she would beat him in November if she was on the ballot.

Yes, she said. But I think people believe that this is a referendum on him.
