Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

Its probably because of the gays and the woke. God has stopped listening and this is our punishment.

He thinks he was the apple of his eye for the President of Russia and that Vladimir dreamed of their phone calls.

Poor Vladimir. I feel so sorry for him not being able to place disobedient Ukrainians in death camps, like it was revealed in 2022, they were planning to do.

More interestingly, the misogynistic macho boys in MAGA, finds this pathetic slimy love story attractive.

… and a fuckwit of a ‘journalist’ sits there umming and arrring like it’s totally normal and even interesting.
There’s something really wrong with the world!

Trump has run 3 consecutive campaigns in which one of his biggest pitches was “the other guys are crooks and only use the presidency to enrich themselves”. Yet here they are using the official white house account to promote Trump’s private trip to his private business paid for on tax payer’s dime.

If you ever wonder why so many Americans distrust the media as extremely biased and ideological, detached from the real issues facing Americans, this compilation sums it up completely.

This is a marginal, minor event. But it represents the obsession the media and the left have with identity politics. And most Americans have repeatedly told pollsters over and over and over again that they do not agree with the Democrats on identity politics.

This is the sort of irrelevant shit the right wing peddles, while excusing, overlooking and enabling the paedophile at the helm.

I live here and keep abreast of the news, and this barely registers on the radar. It is a nothing burger, but the right wing loves to engage in the woke wars and identity politics.

Get real. Do something about the monster in the White House. Stop enabling him by obfuscating with this sort of media piffle and talking incessantly about the perceived failings of Democrat strategy.

Attack the biggest wrong. Help to take it down. Then let’s go from there.

Fucking jeans!

Yeah, absolutely zero on the right commented on the ad when it first came whereas the left completely melted down because beautiful attractive white women triggers the far left for reasons.

Your emotional inability to see what drives the culture wars is exactly why the Democrats are losing on the margin.

It was the extremely emotional far left who melted down over this ad. I just posted the reactions from the far left on an idiotic irrelevant ad that absolutely no one other than the far left would be screaming “racist/sexist/antiWestern” to a fucking jeans commercial because woke bullshit.

The media has been captured by the extreme far left who melt down over such irrelevant nonsense. But hey, keep on virtue signaling while the Democrats hit 22% approval ratings and Labour are at 19%. Its everybody else’s fault but your own!

Share your insight with Democrat leaders. Nobody on here is setting policy or strategy for the Dems. If you know what they have to do, tell them! See if they appreciate what you have to say, and if they think you have worthy insight to bring.

You are commenting about what the Democrat Party needs to do a bunch of people on a football forum who have no say in that. A few, like me, are voters in America. Most are horrified international observers, watching the rules based order crumble under the train wreck that is Trump.

The right wing media enables him and protects him. He is a probable paedophile, which is the story that should finally sink him. But sadly it probably won’t. The Republicans are supposed to be conservative, fiscally, and in terms of family values and so on. Yet they enable and allow Trump, who is the polar opposite on those counts? Ugh. Hypocrites and then some.

You have the wrong focus! Why are you telling people in here what the Dems should do, when nobody in here has it in their grasp or remit to enact Democrat policy? Nah. I’m not having that.

Objective number one, for anyone who cares about the rule of law and having a working political process, should be to defeat Trump and relegate him to the history books.

If you showed any propensity toward that noble cause, I could take you more seriously. But I’m sorry, you seem like a shit-stirrer to me. It has taken me a while to get there, as I’m a reasonable person who extends the benefit of the doubt.

Educated? Yes of course.
Working at a high level? Yep.
Traveled? Yes.

But sadly mistaken in your focus. You keep trying to school people on what the Democrat strategy should be, while they have no say in Democrat strategy. It’s ridiculous really. And all the while, a monster reigns supreme and you don’t have a peep to say about that.

Yeah, but it was the jeans! It was the woke left. Bwaaark!

FFS Toro crawl out of your gutter please.

100%. Apparently it’s the Dems fault that Trump is “enter expletives of choice here”.

It’s like blaming bald tyres for a blown engine in your car.

Perhaps sort the engine, or maybe you actually need a new car as it’s basically not feasible to fix it.

Couldn’t agree more with this post. It’s like focusing on a spider in the corner of your bedroom, while a tornado is approaching your house, menacing to destroy it entirely.

@toro, you need to change your focus, RedOverTheWater is 100% right about this.

To be clear about the ad in question, it playfully alluded to Nazi ideology in double entendres about blue signifying good jeans/genes. It is an ad explicitly designed to kick a hornet’s nest and get a reaction. It is the exact sort of thing the new right plays on, something @ShadesOfRed has commented on numerous times. See the ok finger symbol or wearing Hawaiian shirts. So they knew exactly what they were doing with this ad and knew exactly what people would hear. It was done precisely because they wanted the attention of being in the middle of a “we’re being attacked because woke has gone crazy”, banking on the present environment of people coming to their defense to stick the boot into the woke.

It is marketing 101, but also a really damning indictment of the current political environment that anyone would think that a nod and wink to Nazi ideology is not beyond a line for this sort of attempt at virality.

FWIW, there has been some of the expected criticism of this online, but most of the reaction about having to defend AE and the outrage from the right and reactionary center (who love kicking the woke even more than the right do) has been on auto pilot…reacting to the reaction they have expected rather than the reaction there has actually been.

You’re telling me that not all the ‘lefties’ in the US and worldwide ‘completely melted down’ over this ad?
It was all we talked about at our local leftie meeting. When I heard about it I nearly dropped my soy latte.

Maybe in your local group. But in our local Marxist-Leninist group, our parole is now “Every gene is equal” and “Beauty is only found in the exotic”.
We have also started to enforce lobotomy on those among our females that have, unfairly by birth, been shaped too attractively while retaining a disgustingly tasteful pale skin colour. In the name of solidarity, we voted to enforce lobotomy on those who look too fair skinned and too shapely and at the same time had too high IQ.
