MemberHi bro, two juveniles were charged with the shooting. Both are American. Are you watching Alex Jones?
The Republican Party is over. It will not return to what it was.
Hello there @jjflyman.
2024 US Presidential Election
- Thread starter ZFire
- Start date
Hello there @jjflyman.
This is good news for Trump, the ruling will help to get him elected in November.
He will go to court and have that amount reduced on appeal, but if that does not happen, it's only 10% of his net worth.
There were no victims in the Trump NYC case, everybody including the banks were happy. The racist, mad-dog Attorney General, Letitia James, was vying to be governor and vowed to "Get Trump" as part of her election strategy when she was running for Attorney General.
The bad news, concerning this boneheaded legal decision against Trump, is that NYC will be losing an important employer who brings thousands of much-needed jobs and business to the City.

Hi buddy. I have never heard of Alex Jones until you mentioned him. I see he is a far right radio host. You may be right regarding the shooting. I'm not sure where I read the shooter was an illegal immigrant. It was a copy/paste. Regardless we need orderly legal immigration, not the current massive illegal immigration with the societal ills they can cause. The military age men coming through our borders is concerning.

Why is Norway paying less than half of what the USA is paying relative to their GDP? And the U.S. is an ocean away from the Ukraine/Russia conflict. There needs to be peace negotiations now to stop the killing and destruction in Ukraine.
Why should some countries get away with paying so little for their NATO membership, yet receive protection from those who pay more? Are they too poor to do so? Then, maybe I could understand, but most are not unable to afford it. Trump is just giving them a verbal kick in the ass, but the snowflake who is narrating the video probably has no experience dealing with business or political leaders like Trump.

The Biden Administration's intentional open border policy, the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, the anti-fossil fuel policies, which is the lifeblood of the US economy, is going to hurt the Democrats immensely in the next election.
Maybe you need a reminder that the only member of NATO that has ever been attacked is the United States. Every single member of NATO sent troops to Afghanistan, as well as several non-members, including Ukraine. A total of 9200 Norwegian soldiers served in Afghanistan, of which ten were sent home in coffins. A total of 1151 non-American soldiers died.
It is beyond insulting that the United States under President Donald Trump:
1. Portrays US allies as leeches.
2. Would not honor Article 5, contrary to what every single US ally did after the US was attacked.
3. Would actually encourage Russia to attack US allies.
To give you an idea about what "little" even means in this context, since I'm assuming you didn't have one already: the European members of NATO spent 1.5% of their combined GDP on the military in 2014, a whopping three years before Donald Trump even took office to complain about a fraction of a percent.
Have a good day.

@Daniel Lion, where is my winner ratings? You said you want what's best for the US. I've warned you about eating tasty grilled rats and fried insects. They can cause delusional thinking. How is the weather in Laos? Do you have palm trees and tropical weather? It turned cold here with snow, but is going to warm up again. I found this beautiful picture in southern Laos. I see someone riding a motorcycle.
There are 28 NATO countries, not counting the United States, and the average amount that they pay is 1.95% of their GDP. This is what the United States should pay.
Because the United States spend more money on the military than the next ten countries combined.
Because we prioritize what is far and beyond the most important form of national security: universal healthcare.

Sadly, I think you are correct. Maybe America needs a new political party that represents the majority of Americans, not far left or far right? I still believe most Americans do not want us to go full on socialist or full on MAGA.
Actually, the Rebubs and Dems had negotiated a border bill that Biden was going to sign, until Trump demanded the bill not pass, so he could still use the border for campaigning.
America pumped a record number of barrels of oil in 2023. FACT.
I'm no fan of Joe Biden, but your post is full of half-truths, as usual.

That bill was a joke. That's why Mike Johnson wouldn't consider it. H.R. 2 was a real border bill that Chuck Schumer wouldn't consider. Biden has executive authority to close the border now but he refuses to do so.

No kidding. Maybe we can get a RINO party as that seems to be where pragmatic moderates live.

I did not realize you read the bill, I thought the Republican negotiators were happy with it.

Democrats made lots of concessions (bill was linked to Ukrainian aid) and they were happy. It was as good a bill as the GOP could have hoped for. That is until their supreme leader (who isn't even a public official currently, by the way) told them to kill the bill (as you pointed out) because it would have made Joey B. look good.
Even the national border patrol union who are very pro-Trump and hate Biden supported the bill. Their livelihoods depend on it, yet they're caught in stupid ass political games by the GOP.
Three things.
1. The bill was a bipartisan effort with numerous GOP provisions incorporated into it — asylum moved to Homeland Security which means persecution without lawyers. You could immediately be rejected for having a criminal history. Asylum claims shortened to 6 months instead of years — It was written by Republican Senator, Jim Langford. A hardcore conservative from Oklahoma.
2. I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Maybe this time, it will penetrate through that thick skull of yours. The only way anything gets accomplished in this country is by COMPROMISING. Jesus Christ. It's how progress is made. Jesus Christ.
3. Learn how things work in US politics and step your game up, kiddo.

Elon Musk dismissed the verdict of $354 Million in Trump's civil fraud case by asking:
"Given that there were no victims with losses, who is suppose to receive the money?"
With NO victim because all the loans to Trump were paid back with interest, WHY was there even a trial?
This is total #WeaponizationOfJustice.
Merrick Garland's #DOJ subverts the law.
Every American should be enraged!

Hi buddy, that's one of my favorite places to visit. They have fresh spring water that is cold and clean and comes out of caves from the mountains. I often take my wife and kids there for hikes and swimming.
Grilled duck and pork are very popular. Bamboo soup is king for all Laos people as well as spicy papaya salad. Ant eggs are seasonal but delicious in omelets. Insects are eaten mostly in the countryside, anything fried tastes good including crickets. My son is keen on squirrels but I weened him off that as I felt it was a bit dodgy. Being an ex-French colony, you can get great bread and sandwiches anywhere with pate made from pork or duck.
You and the Missus still have an open invitation, I will be your tour guide and I have an extra room. I think your politics are nuts and you have been hoodwinked but I also think you are a great guy. My instinct tells me so.
I'll give you a winner tag shortly as soon as I post this.
Take care friend.

I will listen to Mike Johnson as he is much brighter than you are and also has common sense which you seem to lack at times. I guess that's why he is the Speaker of the House and you are...? Maybe speaker of the bullshit? Remember it is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt. Author unknown.
Jesus Christ? I thought you were an atheist? Listen to Mike Johnson and the House Republican leaders on c-span.org so you can make more informed comments.
There is a fund set up on the popular site for such purposes, to help pay the $355,000,00o fine. The fund only started a few days ago, and it's closing in on $400,000 dollars, thanks to over 8 thousand people who have donated to it.
I will donate what I can when I can, and I hope that all freedom-loving Americans, of whatever political persuasions, realize that these actions taken against Trump are actions against ALL of us.

I've been accused of stealing watermelons from the farmer next door, where he filled my butt with rock salt.
Can you guys set up a fund for me so I can pay the fine? I need €390,000 EUR to stay out of jail.
Thank you!
Your future leader,
Elmer

I did not come up with that slogan. It is hanging on my wall. It's good advice for everyone.

That's a damn hard slam on a person that has freedom of speech. Who are you, some God cop?

What? I don't understand what you're talking about. Have you been eating grilled rats and fried grasshoppers again? I thought your butt was full of shit? Maybe you mean rock salt shotgun shells?
