He was an actor. So he wasn’t part of the Republican Deep State either. Trump used to be a Democrat. He’s never really been a Republican either for most of his life. Anyways, this is all my opinion. If you want to believe the one shooter theory for JFK when the JFK files that were released proved there was a second gunman then by all means go for it. Same with Trump. I guess the Secret Service is just really incompetent. trump is not an anything except for a trump.

These fuckers not only give money to both parties, they try and influence voters in politicians electorates, so that will force the politicians to enact the policies they want enacted. As those of us who have put the work in researching politics know, the politicians are middle management at best. Yet another book on my must read list.

If you want to believe the one shooter theory for JFK when the JFK files that were released proved there was a second gunman then by all means go for it. Same with Trump. I guess the Secret Service is just really incompetent. Okay, first off, I didn't say that the Bush family was in on the Deep State. I said that they are conservatives, who's voters are the most vocal about the Deep State's threat. The Tea Party, Bush backers, the forerunner of MAGA, was using that term during W's reign. So I was just wondering why the Bushes didn't use their supreme positions of power together with the billionaire donors who also hate this Deep State to root them out and destroy them. He had the ultimate power and money to find a rat in the DS system for eight years, but failed? As Donald did as well? The charges of there being a "deep state" go back to W Bush. To "normal" Republicans. It definitely is a "right thing". Do you hear any liberals, or Democrats complaining about a deep state? No one is claiming that Reagan was a deep state operative either. And yes...you can be a conservative and Republican and still be an actor and come from California. And I admitted that there are such things as conspiracies. The Gulf of Tonkin, George seniors government creating a story of babies being ripped out of incubators in Kuwait by Iraqi soldiers, or George W and his fake WMD claims. And I'm open to theories of conspiracies about the JFK assassination, and even 9/11 as there are still unanswered questions. But I wouldn't characterize those as deep state operations. Follow the money. The profiteers of the MIC to start a war with Iraq, or the mafia to stop JFK from going after them. I could entertain those having some truth to them I also specified right wing and/or criminal. Yes Trump is not a true conservative, he goes where he can fool the most idiots. Which happens to be Republicans. But he's mostly in the category of criminal, like Putin. He's in it for himself, and uses terminology like the deep state to scare his idiot Republican brigade. They mix and mingle the term with different meanings, including commies, and anything they don't like. Judges, juries who rule against them etc. But what they really mean is the established bureaucracy of average Americans working for the federal government. Civil servants who are just doing their jobs by following their job descriptions and the law. Right up to and including heads of departments like the FBI. What Trump and the corrupt MAGA cult want is to have fellow criminals occupying those positions in order to get away with unlimited crimes 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locally we have a former Mayor of a suburb of Victoria, BC, Canada... I used to bump into him at events with Justin Trudeau in attendance, we all had our party credentials to get in... Then my sister in law who is very right wing and really hates trudeau was talking to me about an event she went to for Pierre Poilievre, and she was naming folks she ran into, and wouldn't you know it, Stew Young was right there gladhanding the opposition. it too was a card carying member only event. Stew Young, one of the richest ex mayors in BC, two faced slimeball. He even sort of looks like this guy from an amazing Dolly Parton movie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 It's amazing the see the progressive medias agenda & malfeasance exposed in real time. The managerial class has lots it's control over 'information' and it's a wonderful thing for transparency, democracy, & liberty. Elon buying twitter was one of the best developments for media in recent history imo. Not that everything is great with X, but it's worth the trade off.

Last time I brought up doubt/criticism about Kamala alot of people jumped to this attack on Trump aswell (despite me not mentioning him in that original prior post). But the thing is no matter how much the anti-Trump crowd hates him, he's already established & he has a very strong base. He makes alot of mistakes & anyone is fair to criticize him, but that's the reality. The other issue for Kamala is she's tied to the Biden regime. She participated in the dishonesty about his health. She was appointed to be in charge of the border (which is a massive issue for voters), so rightly or wrongly she'll have to carry that unlike a different candidate. I do wonder if they'd consider someone else, but they are kind of out of time & there's not many obvious choices either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) @King Heffy I'm watching Trumps speech at the Bitcoin conference right now, he has no idea what he's talking about and is doing his usual rambling about how great he is & how great everything will be once he's in. And the crowd whom have their own non-MAGA pov isn't responding to it. It's really bad. He's not as good as this as he was in 2016. Yet despite the bar being so low he still ended Biden's campaign in the last debate, and is a better talker than Kamala even now. It's pretty insane tbh.

Compared to what he's going up against (people who can't), yes I guess so? He can put together sentences just fine & make his point. The problem is he's so egotistical that he often doesn't care to understand the issue & instead just promises he'll fix it because of how great he is. Speaking analytically; He has a great opportunity as the only anti-establishment candidate that's in a position to win (RFK can't), and at times he has good rhetoric to appeal to those voters, but they also know he got walked all over his first term, didn't reduce the size of govt at all, & doesn't seem to have learned a thing. Yet even rhen he'll still get alot of votes from those disenfranchised non-MAGA voters b/c his opposition represents the status quo.

SilentSam Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 BREAKING: Donald Trump suffers a crushing defeat as a New York appeals court rejects his challenge to the gag order in his hush money criminal case — meaning he cannot speak about prosecutors and others involved in the case until he's sentenced. And it gets even better... Judge Juan Merchan is set to deliver sentencing on September 18th, just seven weeks out from the election on November 5th. "Justice Merchan did not act in excess of jurisdiction by maintaining the narrowly tailored protections," the court said. That means Trump will have to spend most of his campaign muzzled, unable to spread his lies and smears about the case. Since Kamala Harris has the issues cornered — and Trump's only electoral tool at this point is whining — this constitutes a major setback for him. Please retweet and to thank the court for not caving to Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.
