There are a lot of preconceptions on this board, true. Everyone has them, its hard to function without them.
TRUMP WINS
- Thread starter hungry
- Start date
I think team MAGA is excited for revenge but has conveniently forgotten the daily scandals in incompetence.
Somehow they think the second time the orange guy makes america great again it will really take.
How perfect that the adjudicated rapist and convicted felon appointed a sex offender as AG.
There might be something there, but it was kind of a jingoistic tale of China rising again and vanquishing Western domination. I no doubt that China is a great economic power and will continue to be. The whole Fed interest rate's policy forcing Chinese businesses to sell cheap to Wall Street is pure and somewhat scary fiction.
The Chinese economy is hitting its first major bump in the road since it began liberalizing business activity. If you cite on social media the predictable economic patterns that all economies go through on social media, you will be meet a chorus of "China has a different economic model that does not follow Western economic theory". The funny thing is its just economic theory. There's no such thing as Western economy theory. Certain things happen when you overinvest into the productive side of your economy and then continue to lean on it as the growth model longer after the investment has reached diminished returns. The Soviets ran into it. Brazil ran into it. Japan ran into it. It's always going to be different this time.

I don’t think it’s good reasoning to say “loyal to Trump, therefore must be dumb or cruel”
You’re basically saying,
One’s loyalties entails a transference of traits to oneself from the person receiving loyalty. E.g. A is loyal B, B is dumb, so by extension A is dumb too.
Appointments to government should not be chosen by considering loyalties
Why would either of those two statements be true or obvious? They’re super contentious. Maybe you can shore them up more.
I can see reasons why he chose these people tbh, it’s not hard to fathom
…but ya they are definitely provocative choices lmao, that’s what is just hilarious
I don't like the Gaetz appointment. Hopefully, the Senate will require the confirmation process.
So why would someone declare loyalty to a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist?
Other than being a member of the leopard eating faces party, of course.
You aren't excited about reparations, are you?
“So why would someone declare loyalty to a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist?”
That’s like asking me why I still think Plato is a good philosopher even though he fucked little boys in the ass.
And then accusing me of being okay with little boys being fucked in the ass.

You mean you think that the rules (not laws) say its just as ok to put convicts and sex offenders in charge as it was for ancient Greeks to be gay or pedophiles?
Or do you mean that just because someone is a rapist and fraud artist doesn't mean that he also can't be as smart as he declares he is?
Or perhaps you'd like to clarify instead of me guessing.
Its seen as a conspiracy theory to those unwilling to see alternative POV.
I was told the same thing when I said Covid was a $camdemic.
Most Asians who grow up here while still being able to speak their mother tongue hold a unique perspective where we see the good and bad for both western and Asian culture. Obviously it will be dismissed because of the relentless western-centric POV.
When people make fun of Elon it amuses me considering how it would be impossible for a person of low IQ to get to where he is today.
As they say, easier to fool someone than convince them theyve been fooled. Also, never underestimate stupidity in numbers.
It was a win for the culture war, which we share with them. Not in our literal governanceOMG! OMG! OMG! Trump won!
But you live in Canada the land of the lefties!!
Would you be okay with Plato becoming a philosophy professor in your local high school?
Dumb or cruel. Or perhaps both. Maybe even smart and cruel lol.
He picked them so he does not have to face the issues he did in his first term.
He wants loyalists everywhere that will do his bidding, be yes men so he can behave like a dictator.
Essentially he wants to undermine the checks and balances that exist and greatly increase the powers of the office of the presidency.
This is a dangerous slippery slope.
Fascism is a process. This is how it starts.
So what would be the character of the person who is willing to be loyal to Trump and his policies (many of which I consider to be cruel and/or dumb)?
Dumb or cruel.
But having said that, whether or not these picks will actually be effective in executing their nefarious agenda is TBC.

I get that.
But I think the backlash from the woke left will be stronger.
Newtons third law and all that.
There is the possibility that trump actually thinks RFK jr and his brain worm's theory that diseases aren't caused by germs is actually brilliant and he thinks it will fix the US health care system. That's more likely than the self declared germaphobe just wants all americans to get sick.
Lets see if RFK jr can make america's health care system great again, again.
that's one type of rebuttal with unpleasant imaging
this straightforward
“So why would someone declare loyalty to a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist?”
rebuttal:
because the majority of the electorate did not buy into the ''convicted felon and adjudicated rapist'' view and voted for him
dead simple for someone to declare loyalty when they have the electorate with the same view
future events may make the electorate re-evaluate / change their loyalty just as an appointee may decide his / her loyalty was misplaced
I am pretty sure JWR, & Bill Morneau are kicking themselves for their initial loyalty to Justin Trudeau as are 20 odd liberal MPs who are concerned they will have a forced career change
That is why am saying that they either have to be dumb - like Betsy Devos if you remember lol. Or Matt Gaetz lol.
Or cruel - like Stephen Miller, Thomas Homan etc.,
Or smart and cruel - like Elon Musk.
do I? you seem to be saying that a criminal will not be a criminal when he is given power that would allow him to commit even more crimes and not bear responsibility for crimes past or future. I hope you are right
