You are giving way too much credit to Bathhouse Barry. He is likely pulling Joe's strings but who we should be worried about is the people pulling the Barry's, Schwab's and Soros strings.....Rapier108 said:Obama, Jarrett, Rice, and their minions are the people actually running the place. Biden is just their figure head.Hammerly High Dive Crips said:No way he is pulling the strings. I just can't make myself believe he is the mastermind behind all of this. He can barely walk up stairs or put a few impromptu words together for the camera.Bobaloo said:
The problem is Pedo Joe. He's a legit threat to the republic.
The real question is how much of what they are doing is of their own accord, and how much is at the behest of people like Soros and Schwab.

Crazy talk here, but imagine if they took Joe out. It would obviously be very easy to blame it on the right, reinforcing their narrative...considering the multitudes of useful idiots. The other benefit would be that he is plain and simply a walking liability. Can't think of a more anti-2A action either. There would be many benefits to them doing that, and ZERO benefits to the right.
I am just spitballing and trying to figure out why they are acting like this.
That, or something big may be coming against them. Whatever it may be, buckle up. I hope it's nothing more than just the worst strategy in the world.
Well the economy sucks, inflation is nuts (I...and everyone else...basically took a significant pay cut this year), Biden warned us against the vax when Trump was prez, but once elected, threatened to fire us for not taking it (caused quite a bit of stress to me and my family actually), but how about that speech in and of itself last night calling me and most of my friends and family (good, honest people) enemies of this nation and fascists. I would categorize that as "bad sh**" that I thought I would never see in this country. We are increasingly divided and his speech last night poured fuel on that fire intentionally.J.

What "bad ****" is happening currently that is directly affecting your daily life?
IMO, the successful and no consequences steals of the 2020 presidential and selected senate elections was the linchpin that both emboldened and enabled the leftists to seize the power needed to blatantly and publicly impose their agenda upon the populace.Jbob04 said:

A lot of smart reasonable people are forecasting much more bad sh** with food and supply chain issues coming over the next few years.
Does it make you feel "enlightened" to pretend everything is OK and no one is having their daily life affected?

Oh, only things that affect my daily life right now at the moment count? All of the past can be thrown out? What a weird notion. This random speech didn't kill me, and it didn't harm me physically, although I did find it very troubling. But what it does is incite the left even more into thinking we are pure evil scum. I don't like my loved ones being openly labeled as evil fascists by a sitting US president, sorry if that offends you. Am I supposed to like that?

I bolded the only thing that's actually currently affecting your daily life. Sorry about the pay cut but the economy will rebound just like it always does.
Some random speech meant to get their base riled up and keep everyone focused on Trump and not the bad economy and other issues has no affect on your daily life. I didn't watch it, and from what I read it was idiotic and divisive, but guess what, I woke up this morning and went to work just like every other normal Friday.
The "smart people" who are forecasting these things are 1. Guessing 2. Only doing it to get more followers and engagement, or both. The media does this to get more eyeballs; and politicians on both sides drive the divisions to get more donations. It's not much more complicated than that.

This. It takes a great deal of complete self-centeredness to disregard what this may mean for your kids, grandkids and after just on the basis of its immediate impact. People were going to work successfully in France as before both on August 30, 1939 and even Dec 3, 1939, and in the US, undisturbed till two years later. But it did `get around' to effecting them.Quote:
All that being said, I care MUCH more about the future for my daughter, nephews and nieces than I do the here and now, and unless you are an absolute mouth breathing dullard, it is not looking pretty for them.
For God's sake, 50% of democrats polled favored locking up the unvaxxed, 30% wanted them stripped of custody of their children...and almost every single one wanted me fired for not obeying their stupid order to get the Trump vax that just months before they were trying to scare the public from. THAT IS F-ING CRAZY. You almost sound like a CM.
Yet it is very likely that many people you know and work with would vote for this regime again in a heartbeat...even if it's Desantis or Ted Cruz, and not Trump.dreyOO said:

Here. Ditto on the bookcases full of history's lessons.Eliminatus said:
I was explaining to someone earlier that this is something I am scoffing at. I actually genuinely concerned. I am a student of history and this type of rhetoric has happened in the past. Usually right before really, really bad things.
And agree with OP. This has a tinge of… something else just past few weeks. Can't quantify it exactly either but man, I am taking this extremely serious now. And as a pessimist by nature, my mind is spinning and my eyes keep drifting to my bookcase stuffed full of books that cover this kind of thing and ensuring chaos that follows.

That is a more palatable and yet quite possibly the actual truth take for all this. One of the more encouraging things have read in a few days. It at least works enough to get back to trying to enjoy this Labor Day weekend at least had been looking ahead to.policywonk98 said:
Perhaps it is some of the darker and scarier things some of you are posting.
I'm having a momentary lapse of optimism and thinking it's an election strategy for the social media age.
Essentially all House candidates officially endorsed by Trump and any of them that have at any time questioned the 2020 election, can be called MAGA Republicans and a danger to democracy. Linking them all to Jan 6 and "treason" and "insurrection" and "riots".
The Democratic candidates campaigns can now hashtag their shaming strategy with just a few simple words and phrases. Allowing it to all spread like wildfire.
At a perception level it scares GOP supporters from even putting out a yard sign for their candidate. In the burbs, the casual non activist voter doesnt want to be publically associated with that anti-democracy "maga republican", that has been trending on their social media pages.
I think the strategy is a GOP voter suppression strategy and a push to get independents to vote Democrat out of fear of the GOP party in general.
It actually might work in some of the key districts where the vote could go either way.
It's no accident this speech comes right before Labor Day weekend. The official launch of the campaign season.
Don't misunderstand me. This kind of rhetoric as a campaign strategy is evil. No doubt.

It doesn't matter what 50% of some random group that actually answered a poll thinks (would you ever answer one of those?), it will never happen.
