America is the most powerful military and economic nation in the world, its influence is international and all invasive. Yet there are those who think that it won't effect them and its all a good laugh 🙄.

 

It's no wonder that certain politicians use that gullibility to play the public like a one string banjo.  Why is it that they lie so much? Trump lies virtually every time he opens his mouth, why keep doing it when so much of it is obviously a lie?

 

Because.

 

Because for some bizarre reason, people actually like him despite his alleged and proven crimes....

Can't help wondering how those people have managed in their private lives. The ability to assess whether someone is a reasonable person or a piece of excrement is pretty important when it comes to knowing who to trust, who to be a little wary of, and who to put as much distance as you can between them and you and yours.

 

Without that basic instinct I'd imagine that some ' interesting ' relationships have occurred along the way.

If Harris wins and she seems to be popular at the moment,  I hope they enjoy her speeches -  she sounds like a cross between a hen and a seagull,  even fishwife.

 

It's certainly going to be a tough call for Americans wondering who to vote for: the woman with  voice they don't care for, or a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist whose brain is turning to scrambled eggs, who subverted the peaceful transfer of power when his con failed in 2020, and who says he'd quite like to rip up the US Constitution.

Either they know and don't care that Trump fulfils that criterion because they're rich and greedy and want to be more so; or know and don't care because **** you libtards; or know and don't care because that's exactly the sort of person they admire; or don't know (and likely wouldn't care anyway) because they live in a Fox News and social media bubble where Trump is a genius hunk of alpha manliness who walks on water.

Or maybe they like his policies?

 

Just a thought.

Well, obviously.  Musk, Thiel et al aren't stumping up all that cash because they like Trump's flair with a bronzing stick, and if you're going to properly **** the libtards you have to have a plan detailing exactly how you're going to make them cry.  Though I suspect many will be content enough with the slogans.

 

Mind you, someone had better explain the plans to Trump, because he seems to be struggling: Trump Crumbles When Pressed on Economic Policy in Tense Interview

His policies?  Well if they do they can't be that bright or alternatively extremely rich already and driven by greed.

His Foreign Policy is a threat to world peace, it would encourage both Russia and China to expand to their hearts content. Ukraine would be gone unless European countries backed them with troops and Taiwan would be invaded by China.

That's just guesswork, but obviously everyone sees things differently.

 

I've no argument that Trump is a txxt but many folk see past that and vote on policies.

Except that from what I recall reading about his 'policies', they are going to 'MAGA' - rather, IMO, do the opposite.
