^ Even that's debatable considering Trump said some nice things about Duerte, Xi, & Un.
^ That's because he wanted to be like them.
Didn't he also said Hitler did a lot of good stuff?

While it sound like something he would say, I think you're confusing it with our Bozo.
Didn't he also said Hitler did a lot of good stuff?
No he did say that neo nazis and white supremacists are just like the people that protest against them good people.
@Medical:
Jimmy Hendrix was a legendary guitarist. If I remember right there were some really sketchy circumstances around his death. It was claimed he died of a drug overdose, but his family said he never did drugs and didn't like to be around people who did drugs.
Hmmm, that is interesting. I guess I need to do some research about it in the future.
This guy:
listened to the whole video
That was very epic music! Like damn, those guitar melodies he did! Guess I have some new music to listen to! :happy:
Really hoping Nina Turner loses her race tonight. We don't need people who wanted Trump to win both times in the Democratic House.
And shame on Bernie and AOC for wanting someone so vile and corrupt like her to win.
I'm not sure how I feel about Nina Turner but I'm quite certain she didn't want Trump to win either election.
She didn't want to answer who she voted for in 2016 and in 2016 she didn't endorse Hillary for president. 2020 she said voting for Biden was like eating a bowl of shit.
Anyway she is losing right now so no one needs to feel or think about her ever again. lmao
I'm not sure how I feel about Nina Turner but I'm quite certain she didn't want Trump to win either election.
From what I read about her she just didn't endorse Hillary or Biden when they were running and she refused to be Jill Stein's vice pick because she still had hope for the Democrat party.
@Dorobō:
She didn't want to answer who she voted for in 2016 and in 2016 she didn't endorse Hillary for president. 2020 she said voting for Biden was like eating a bowl of shit
Who cares who she voted for? That's private and for her and not for anyone else. It's none of our business. Even politicians have a right to privacy.

Technically she said Biden was half a bowl of shit compared to Trump's full bowl. Basically saying hold your nose and choose the less bad option of the two.

It lets voters know who to trust. Duh. Privacy means little when you're trying to win over people's trust. Since voters can't trust her? And hate how badly she talks about people they do trust and support? Of course she was toast.
Basically saying hold your nose and choose the less bad option of the two.
Which is not helpful.
@Dorobō:

I just don't see it that way. Many voters are switch voters, so they are not gonna really give a shit who she decided to vote in the end. They vote for who they think is best with their policies, etc.
Which is not helpful.
I mean Biden really wasn't the greatest candidate. There were much better ones, but he is better than Trump, and that's about it. Like really anyone is better than Trump, even me if I ran in 2024 would be a good pick. She was just expressing her opinion.
But I do get your side of supporting the party and endorse the candidate, but a party should have its critics and not just follow blindly.
Many voters are switch voters,
It's Cleveland, it's Dem city and Dem vote turf.
so they are not gonna really give a shit who she decided to vote in the end.
Black religious leaders do. Why they named her a liar about her lies on Brown.
They vote for who they think is best with their policies, etc.
That's not how people vote.
I mean Biden really wasn't the greatest candidate.
He wiped the floor with the Dem Primary and Trump. And ran on things people want. Knew the voters well ect ect.
There were much better ones, but he is better than Trump, and that's about it.
And they all lost! So much for being better. And I don't know, more stuff is getting in the first year than it has in a loooooooong time.
She was just expressing her opinion.
Not a good defense when opinions are telling and why she lost like a fool today.
@Dorobō:
It's Cleveland, it's Dem city and Dem vote turf.
I doubt everyone is Democrat…. and votes Democrat.
Though looking online this was against other Democrats. I thought she was running against another party. So, it was just a primary it seems. I did thought it was strange you wanted a Democrat to lose because that mean less Democrats in the House, but now I got it cleared up.
Black religious leaders do. Why they named her a liar about her lies on Brown.
Oki, that's very sad then to push propaganda because of how she voted.
That's not how people vote.
That's how I vote though. I'm sure many are like me that do. If there weren't, politicians wouldn't have to make a website stating what they want to do.
Like I look at the policies (on their website) and vote for the person not the party. 2020 I voted for Green, Democrat, and one Republican. For president, I voted for Howie Hawkins - Green Party in case you were curious.
I researched which ones I liked best and felt much better about it instead of going down all Democrat like in I did in 2016 and some other years. And this year doing it again, ballotpedia is very helpful with my research. As a voter, I should inspect if the political candidate is good enough for whatever position they are running.
He wiped the floor with the Dem Primary and Trump. And ran on things people want. Knew the voters well ect ect.
I felt Bernie was better and I voted for him in the primary. Biden just makes me uncomfortable even though he did some good stuff so far. Though I did work for the Biden campaign at one point in doing phone calls. It helped a bit with my social anxiety! :happy:
And they all lost! So much for being better.
I rather have Kamala as president than Biden. Regardless, I really don't think Biden is the greatest out there, despite doing many good things, there is stuff I don't like. Regardless, just gonna agree to disagree here since you think he's the greatest, when he really isn't. But whatever floats your boat.
Not a good defense when opinions are telling and why she lost like a fool today.
But she didn't like Biden, that's her viewpoint. She has that right if she thinks a political candidate is bad.
Looking at the results, she didn't lost that badly. She got a lot of votes, and only lost by 4000+.
Honestly, I would not vote for her either if I lived in Ohio, but for other reasons and not what you saying about her not voting for Biden. I go by policies, etc. xD
Sorry your guy came in 4th place. It was not close in anyway.
@Dorobō:
Sorry your guy came in 4th place. It was not close in anyway.
Doesn't matter? I thought he was better than Biden, and you didn't xD It is a difference of opinion there! ^^
I don't hate Biden. I just thought others were more qualified. That's all. I'm happy with the things he done. (Well, 90% of what he did anyway.)
And like I'm really super stoked that Biden wants to help the planet by battling climate change! That's my favorite part about him to be honest! I'm a huge environmentalist, and this planet needs to be taken care of!
That's how I vote though. I'm sure many are like me that do. If there weren't, politicians wouldn't have to make a website stating what they want to do.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." - Agent K, Men In Black
The only thing most voters care about is whether their candidate has an extra R or D in their name.
Depends while party affiliation is important.
So is whether political candidates hate/are tolerant towards gays and trans people.
Think whether abortion should be illegal/legal
Gun rights should be expanded/curtailed
Think the country should become a theocracy/believe in separation of church and state
Think whether undocumented immigrants with no major criminal
Background should be arrested and deported/be given he opportunity to become legal citizens.
Can ultimately be a dealbreaker for many
That's how I vote though. I'm sure many are like me that do.
I live in the UK, but I just wanted to say that I vote based on policy as well. You're not alone in that.

Every single one of those boils down to R and D, it's less "while party affiliation is important." and more "this is exactly why party affiliation is important."
Yeah pretty much every position ever in the US comes down to Ds and Rs.
Why voting 3rd party is rightfully looked down upon.
And seriously who cares about those who claim to vote based on only policy? People only say this to feel good about voting for losers really. Or to feel okay when a bad person got in and they helped by not voting for the D.
Rep Crist is a former Republican Governor of Florida and next year he'll be running for the seat again as a Dem. He is the only one with a tiny chance of beating that GOP governor who is killing his own people day in and day out.
Vote D or people die/keep dying. That simple.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." - Agent K, Men In Black
The only thing most voters care about is whether their candidate has an extra R or D in their name.
And this is why we have people hating each other because they are a different party. When I researched, I saw Democrats that were not qualified while a Republican or another party was. (Like the Green Party.)
So is whether political candidates hate/are tolerant towards gays and trans people.
Well, it depends on the person's campaign. If they want to ban gay marriage and it states clearly on there, then I'm not voting for them.
Think whether abortion should be illegal/legal
Actually, since I researched, I actually had to reject a candidate because there were very anti-abortion. (Was a Republican for the House.) And I voted for the Democrat instead.
Gun rights should be expanded/curtailed
See, I'm for gun rights, like not banning any firearms, but I also want better gun control that makes it harder to get like having to go to gun school, etc. I guess it is a more liberal thing, but I'm against banning stuff.
Think the country should become a theocracy/believe in separation of church and state
I didn't really run into that for people's campaign. There was the same one that was anti-abortion that was also super religious, that I rejected and voted for the other person.
Think whether undocumented immigrants with no major criminal
Actually, what I want both Democrats and Republicans don't want, and that is open borders, make it easier to become a citizen, etc.
Can ultimately be a dealbreaker for many
There's some of them, but there also other things that are a dealbreaker for me. But also I go by a politician's character too. Honestly, I realize there is a lot that goes on when voting, I never thought of it before till 2020 when I decided to research everyone. This is thanks to mail-in voting. Like the reason I voted for Howie Hawkins the Green Party guy was because Biden only talked about him being better than Trump, but he never tried to explain why he was. Biden was my 2nd choice. Really wish we have a ranking system.
@MDL:
I live in the UK, but I just wanted to say that I vote based on policy as well. You're not alone in that.
Yay! I'm glad I'm not alone! It just helps a lot for me.
@Dorobō:
Vote D.
No I won't vote by partisan because not all Democrats to me are great while other parties or Republicans are. Like the one Republican I voted in 2020 who was black mind you, but he was of better character then the Democrat one.
And plus, your strong wanting to make Democrats the heroes is making me even more iffy on voting on a Democrat, but I won't let your negative self-image of non-Democrats get to me. I'm still voting by character/policy/etc. Both parties to me have things I agree on.
That's great for you. Not so much for the people dying parts you keep avoiding.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
@Dorobō:
That's great for you. Not so much for the people dying parts you keep avoiding.

Because Republicans are not out murdering people? lol XD (Along with Democrats.)
And if I wanted to think a politician's actions caused death, then that be like very single president, both Democrat and Republican, since many did airstrikes, war stuff, etc.
But I'm smarter than that and I know it is out of their control, etc., even if Trump had a poor response to Covid, it is not his fault. He just didn't do a great job, doesn't mean he murdered people. The Coronavirus is the one that killed those people, not politicans.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Some examples:
Bill Clinton - did airstrikes - led to deaths of many people.
George W. Bush - Iraq and Afghanistan War
Barack Obama - airtstrikes, drone strikes, still continued the war from Bush
Donald Trump - continued the war from Bush, and I think he done airstrikes
And that's two Democrats and two Republicans. Your narrative really falls apart here.
even if Trump had a poor response to Covid, it is not his fault.
It's totally is, he dismissed the danger of COVID, he was against masks mandates, he was against lockdowns because it would be bad for the economy (read his billionaire buddies), the constantly tried to say that was a silver bullet medicine for treatment, spread disinformation, etc.
The only thing right he did was bought a year worth of Pfizer vaccine production. And even in this he was also against the vaccination being mandatory.

Correction - I say not his fault because he is dumb as rocks and didn't know how to handle the situation correctly. Doesn't excuse his actions how he handled, I just think he did a bad job. But yes, he could have done better, I agree with you there.
Yeah no letting Trump off the hook. He killed over half a million Americans. And we allllllllll knew he would do that even before Covid was a thing.
Like how we knew he would get impeached and such. Very obvious outcomes from Republicans but most of all Trump.

He didn't kill them. That is no more than Obama "killing people" with drone strikes or air strikes. But yet you skip this part.
I don't even understand–- why Trump (and other country leaders) is even anti-vaxx ? I mean, shouldn't Trump think "yeah, let's make those vaccines very profitable so I can grab some money" ??
Regardless, I don't want to talk about this anymore right now. I just wanted to reply to the people who quoted me without getting in a massive argument of why I vote the way I do.
I'm too suicidal and depressed currently and I don't need people right now yelling at me because of how I vote. I'm not in the right state of mind, and this will only make things worse for my mental health with people accusing me of being a bad person because I don't all vote Democrat or seeing differently.

Regardless of the diminished mental capabilities of a senile conman he resources and competent people that he could hear do the the job for him if his ego wasn't as big as his debt. He choose "Hey bub, you handle Covid my way or the highway." and it showed when republican states were receiving more supplies than ordered and democrat states less.

Well Bozo and his court of militaries in the gov't tried that with Covaxin, but the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), AGU and Anvisa (our CDC) did their job to stall the contract because it showed signs of corruption.

It really is. Much as I dislike the "THEIR SIDE BAD!!!!!" state of politics myself, starlillymoon, the Republicans, as they exist currently, really are that bad. The Republicans, as they exist currently but for a few exceptions that can be counted on your hands (and maybe not even "hands" plural), continue to support Donald Trump. They continue to suck up to him in the belief that he'll grant them more power, or because they honestly believe in his boobery. I can not, in good conscience, support a member of the Republican party as it exists currently nor can I understand how anyone with (I would assume) a working sense of morality and/or intelligence look at what the Republicans, as they exist currently, have wrought and say "more, please." I live in Idaho, a very red state. I won't see a Democrat win many elections, but damned if I won't vote for them anyway than cast it for an enabler of Donald J Trump, or Ammon "Y'all Qaeda" Bundy, or anyone of that ilk given literally any other alternative.
The people most resistant to vaccines and managing COVID responsibly? Republicans. To this day I believe that had Trump handled the pandemic even remotely responsibly, he could have sailed to re-election and no one could have stopped him.
The people most eager to sweep under the rug the great temper tantrum that was the Capitol Riots? Republicans. Only two of them are on the January 6th House Committee, and the only reason there even is a House committee is because those same Republicans shot down an independent commission which might have been more effective.
The people most willing to support an unqualified boob in the name of greater power? Republicans. Donald Trump, Matt Gaetz, Brett Kavanaugh, Greg Abbot, Ron DeSantis, all are stars to the Republican voters.
We are past the point where "Democrats also did stuff" is a reasonable argument. There is no Bad the Democrats have committed, nor reaction to such bad, that measures to the same level of Bad we see in your bog-standard Republican as they exist currently, that makes them look like a better choice. Unlike the Republicans and all those people listed above, upon finding out a Democratic official, such as Al Franken or Andrew Cuomo, was likely guilty of many of the same levels of offense, the Democrats' near-universal reaction was "Get 'im outta here!"
I don't have any special issue that makes me go for one candidate over another. But I do value competence and responsibility. So that's why I will continue to vote for the Party of Personal Responsibility. That is why I will continue to vote for the Democrat party.
From yesterday:
https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2021/08/04/day-197/
Day 197: "Unwelcome and nonconsensual touching."
1/ The FDA plans to fully approve the Pfizer vaccine by the start of next month. Giving final approval to the Pfizer vaccine — rather than relying on the emergency authorization granted late last year — could help increase inoculation rates at a moment when the highly transmissible Delta variant of the virus is sharply driving up the number of new cases. (New York Times)
2/ New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, according to a report by state Attorney General Letitia James’ office. The investigation found that Cuomo engaged in “unwelcome and nonconsensual touching,” and made comments of a “suggestive” sexual nature to current and former state employees, as well as a number of women outside of state government. Joe Biden and the entire NY Democratic congressional delegation have called on Cuomo to resign. (CNN / The Hill)
3/ The State Department is investigating the whereabouts of a $5,800 bottle of whiskey the Japanese government gave to Mike Pompeo in 2019. It’s unclear whether Pompeo ever received the gift, as he was traveling in Saudi Arabia on June 24, 2019, the day that Japanese officials gave it to the State Department. (New York Times)
4/ Los Angeles is considering requiring vaccine proof at restaurants, gyms, and indoor sporting events. The mandate would require eligible individuals to demonstrate that they’ve received at least one vaccination dose to visit indoor places such as restaurants, bars, retail stores, gyms, spas, movie theaters, stadiums and concert venues. If passed, the measure would be the widest-ranging vaccination verification effort in the city to date. (Los Angeles Times)
5/ Trump is trying to block the Treasury Department from handing over his tax returns to Congress. Lawyers for Trump said the stated reason for seeing the returns, to examine how the IRS audits presidents, is simply a pretext for wanting to look for something embarrassing. (NBC News)
6/ Mexico plans to sue U.S.-based gunmakers over the flow of arms across the southern border. Mexico claims that lax controls over weapons sales are fueling arms-trafficking and violence. (Washington Post)
I don't even understand–- why Trump (and other country leaders) is even anti-vaxx ? I mean, shouldn't Trump think "yeah, let's make those vaccines very profitable so I can grab some money" ??
Generally it's personal ideological beliefs. The real difficult part to understand is when you have some people get it and they more or less continue downplaying it even support measures such as banning mask mandates and mass gatherings that would likely spread it not reduce the risk of reinfection.
It really is. Much as I dislike the "THEIR SIDE BAD!!!!!" state of politics myself, starlillymoon, the Republicans, as they exist currently, really are that bad.

Ya boy went off.
Like even besides Trump, we all knew….. the base voter, the average Republican voter was going to be an anti-vaxxer/maskers and never take it seriously because it impacted their normal, special life just a tiny bit.
Because they are selfish, idiots, losers and monsters.
Ya boy went off.
I'm going to assume that's meant as praise . It's actually kind of funny to me, because while I know I'm not the type to rile up easily, it seems like I've got the rep for that here, too.
I wish we didn't have a 2 party system, but as said before, you can only vote D if you don't want people to keep dying.
Ah americans couldn't endure a multi party system (by that I mean more than 10 parties).
To this day I believe that had Trump handled the pandemic even remotely responsibly, he could have sailed to re-election and no one could have stopped him.
I've always felt this too, tbh. But no amount of "ekonomy's gud now" boasting or what have you could counter a global pandemic that Trump just did not handle very well at all, which lost countless lives in the process. And since it was still a thing in the days leading to the election (and still technically is now), the consequences were always staring him in the face.
And even if vaccines were ready to go under his remaining days, there was 0 chance it'd be doled out in a half-decent way either, or at least less than Biden is doing it now.
Anyways stellar post.
@pariston_hill:

Didn't it come out come after Biden was sworn in the the Trump Administration's vaccine distribution plan was basically non-existent?
Anyways stellar post.
Thank you.
Starla, I know that you’re sensitive about this subject, but I really think that you should take a little more time to consider what you’re saying. Researching political candidates’ backgrounds and voting based on their projected policies is definitely a good thing. But what you’re doing here is closer to “whataboutism” and “both-sidesing” than actual, legitimate critical thinking.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but it seems to me like you are falling for the malicious, time old Republican con. You’d rather consider yourself to be a fair judge of character than consider that you might be equating two (or more) sides that are so far from equal it’s almost laughable.
I'm going to assume that's meant as praise . It's actually kind of funny to me, because while I know I'm not the type to rile up easily, it seems like I've got the rep for that here, too.
You generally post a series of political news that most of us don’t know about so it is unexpected when you give your assessment on a particular topic.

To be honest I usually just don't have a lot to say. I'm usually content to drop the current WTF Just Happened Today or whatever catches my eye. My main rule is provide enough information that, even if nobody clicks the link itself, people have an idea of what's going on. It's also why I'll occasionally jump in with extra info on a link that's just dropped.
I think in this instance it's the feeling of "whataboutism" that Kirbycide describes that prompted me. That's just not a valid argument in my eyes anymore.

Biden pays homage to Obama by rocking tan suit during birthday week – President Biden made waves on social media on Friday after donning a tan suit during his jobs report announcement in apparent homage to former President Obama.
Okay this is, perhaps, a bit petty, but I can't help but love it nonetheless.
For context, the wearing of atan suit was one of many nontroversies Republicans tried to hit Obama with.

It is. And looks like this:
Ignore the numbers (this a poll about professors being candidates for political positions).
Red is left, Salmon is Center-Left, Grey is center, Light Blue is Center-Right and Blue is Right to far right (PSL). But the majority of the Center parties lean to the right, and their own economical self interests.

In the interest of fairness the tan suit did nothing for Obama but yeah the stupidity levels were strong with the dialog on that subject.
Something less petty
9/11 families to President Biden: Don't come to our memorial events
Nearly 1,800 victims’ relatives, first responders and survivors are calling on Biden to refrain from attending any memorials over his refusal to release Sept. 11 documents.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/9-11-families-president-biden-don-t-come-our-memorial-n1276138
An Excerpt
Nearly 1,800 Americans directly affected by theSept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacksare opposing President Joe Biden’s participation in any memorial events this year unless he upholds his pledge to declassify U.S. government evidence that they believe may show a link between Saudi Arabian leaders and the attacks.
The victims’ family members,first respondersand survivors will release a statement Friday calling on Biden to skip 20th-anniversary events in New York and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon unless he releases the documents, which they believe implicate Saudi officials in supporting the acts of terrorism. The group says that as a candidate Biden pledged to be more transparent and release as much information as possible but that his administration has since then ignored their letters and requests.
“We cannot in good faith, and with veneration to those lost, sick, and injured, welcome the president to our hallowed grounds until he fulfills his commitment,” they wrote*in a statement obtained by NBC News.
“Since the conclusion of the 9/11 Commission in 2004 much investigative evidence has been uncovered implicating Saudi government officials in supporting the attacks,” the statement says. “Through multiple administrations, the Department of Justice and the FBI have actively sought to keep this information secret and prevent the American people from learning the full truth about the 9/11 attacks.”
Among the documents the group seeks are supporting evidence found during a widespread FBI investigation into the attacks that examined alleged Saudi links and was completed in 2016.
You know what, those families are probably right about the Saudi involvement with fundamentalist terrorism. To bad their oil is just to easy to process and the US need so much of it that they can do nothing about it.
