My thoughts on Trump
- Thread starter Zoot Allures
- Start date
It is Darwinism this decline and decay and Trump is their last greater hope but he will not be around long enough to do what he promises to do like building the wall.
The MAGA cabal are not capable of restoring America as the world has changed.
America’s Treasury owes almost a trillion dollars to China in Tbills for one thing.
Trump is just a carnival barker and a successful one at that obviously.
This is silly rhetoric. Someone who despises American success or worse Western capitalism in totality periodically pops their head up to announce the decline of America.
- Russia is bogged down fighting a country with a military a tenth its size. Its economy...ehhh.
- China's economy is looking over the abyss as its Central Planners desperately try to resuscitate its economy. It is likely in a midst of a lost decade.
Yes, we have a couple of China champions floating around TERB. Not only does that dog don't hunt no more, I think it's literally dead.
- Europe is stagnating both economically and existentially in it's current form.
So where's the vigor and energy outside of America?
As I mentioned before, political debate is healthy not the other way around. Personally, I like when the Democrats and Republican are representing traditional class interests. Democrats are generally dovish and Republicans are generally hawkish. Perhaps there's something at work with U.S. political realignment that we are yet to understand.
You really give the mic cocksucker way too much credit for actually thinking things through.

America can no longer tell their banker China what to do.
As long as the U$D remains the Reserve Currency and America can print money ( quantitative easing) then yes America will look better than most places around the globe.
Domestically America is already in a sort of Civil War, divided against itself and may implode or fragment.
In general, no.
But there are also steeper and shallower rates of decline.
Trump's is not particularly shallow.
I don't think so, actually. Not the impeachment.
There will be committee investigations of course.
That's pretty straight forward.
Impeachment, though? I am sure there will be some demands for it, but I doubt very much there will be any real push.
There is no point - it's been shown to be dead letter law.
The only impeachment trial to get bipartisan support in the Senate still didn't return a conviction.
No impeachment is likely to ever be tried again unless the party doing the impeaching controls the 2/3 necessary to win the vote in the Senate or is SO close to it that they might manage a defection.
I can't see anyone trying impeachment again without having 65 votes and the Democrats are unlikely to ever have that for a generation or more.
He didn't juice turnout in 2016 very much, although the mix of voters was different.
It's since then that voter turnout went up.
It isn't ALL bad, I agree.
Depends a lot on the choices involved.
You're not usually one to play these kinds of word games, Wyatt.
I wouldn't have expected you to try the "no one can be raped in Canada" defense of all this.
You know very well that sexual abuse is a sexual assault crime in New York.
There is NO crime called "sexual assault" - instead all the various forms of sexual assault are their own crime. (Rape, sexual abuse, etc.)
Fine about the civil vs criminal, but playing word games about "it was abuse, not assault" is beneath you.
It's not remotely muddy.
In fact, what Trump was found liable for would now under New York law be called rape.
It is only because the previous definition was so narrow it wasn't.
The judge, when he dismissed the defamation case by Trump, was just pointing out that what he was found liable for was called "rape" in numerous jurisdictions (including new york now) and so his argument that he wasn't found liable that he was defamed didn't hold.
Again, that would be like someone suing for defamation about being called a rapist in Canada because there is no crime called rape here.
I will disagree. I think that when the State of New York set it up the legal definitions that way because of the new law to allow civil suits for indefinite periods of time. Rape as a NY State crime still has a statute of limitation.
When men come to TERB to argue about Trump the rapist they generally run into two realities you and I can't change.
First, the TERB membership isn't really all that sympathetic to "MeToo" or "Believe Her".
Second, the American public taken as a whole don't seem to be all that impressed with the 1995 incident.
Maybe the third reality is Harris' own choice of words.

Great analogy conflating a he said/she said encounter in a dept. store with slashing necks with a knife.
No one should be tried in the U.S. and Canada for incidents where there are no witnesses and the victim can't even offer a date when the incident took place. It was pretty clear when Nicole and Ron Goldman were murdered violently.

If you say other State's would call it rape, doesn't that enter the issue that many State's have statute of limitations on rape and sexual assault.
That's why it's muddy. It's far from a normal legal case. This is how NY State chose to change the law initially. Then I think they did the law a disservice by highlighting the Trump-Carroll case when they changed the definition of rape. When politicians make a showy stand like this, politics are being served. I would go farther to say IMHO that NY State will likely return to statutes of limitation for civil cases.

Trump is a symptom of the Darwin not the cause . Some people are fed up and Trump taps into their angst and neurosis due to their reality and provides solace. This is not Trump’s fault but his sycophants and apologists are pot lickers who will inherit the wind.
Nobody saw OJ do it and E Jean Carrol was a witness to thr Trunp rape. Both were found in the same level of court to have committed their crimes. The only real difference is that Trump was never found not guilty in criminal court but OJ was. Therefore OJ is far less likely to have committed murder than Trump.commited rape. Sure you may disagree with what the jury concluded but many OJ fans equally said he was innocent too and a victim. The similarities don't stop there as both were convicted of felonies after being found liable of crimes in civil court. Both played a victim in court but OJ had better lawyers while Trump hired a moron with big tits. OJ had far superior intellect and talent than Trump
