Again, clever. What I read. Somewhere. Right.

Clever analysis.
Don't forget the apostrophe.

Which ones were wrong?


I'm tired of you so no new answers from me. You talk to hear the sound of your "clever" voice.

I covered all scenarios by the way.

So, all of them are "activist?" Including those who blocked Bidens student loan forgiveness?


Let me take this carefully. There was a time when the political parties worked collegially to confirm judges. And 60 votes were required for that confirmation. In doing this the appointee had to gather approval such that a more moderate person would get to the bench. At some point the two political parties decided to quit working together. So some senator from Nevada decided to lower the threshold to a simple majority for all non SCOTUS nominees. At that point confirmed justices more closely aligned with the philosophy of the majority in power.
Fast forward to the point where the political parties started to hate each other. The judges reflect that philosophy.
It's even more complex that this but I've written enough except to say SCOTUS nominees only require a simple majority now.

At least she got her hair done.

Trump runs into "activist" judges just like Biden did when he tries to circumvent normal checks and balances.


It is not normal checks and balances. When we went to simple majorities to confirm federal judges, it opened the door for ideologues. And ideologues we have. Back up to my previous post, our system is now spinning like a low energy top.
quote:

I made this point the other day. The problem isn’t Trump. He has tried to do much more, but activist judges keep overturning every move and Congress refuses to pass his agenda or hold those judges accountable

The clearest evidence our political system is spinning into oblivion.

Or, when they voted you people pretended to be "America First" and now have proven to be anything but.


This MAGA stuff will exhaust itself after the mid terms. Even if by some miracle, Trump hold onto congress, the focus will quickly shift to the next election and those candidates. Maybe Trump will call them names, maybe not. And there is no way in the next set of republican primaries a candidate will run as MAGA with the fervor that Trump did. So this MAGA stuff is going away. And the cultist here will have no central figure championing their cause.

and not Israel.

Do you really think we do things with Israel as the prime objective? Israel is essentially fighting Iran and their proxies and no-one else. All conflict over there there boils down to this. Iran acts against the objectives of the US national interest. Same for Israel. And there is a confluence there between the interests of us and Israel. There is no Israel first stuff going on.
So are the white politicians and movers and shakers getting kick backs?

Trump got off to a pretty good start. But I do see the neocon / GOPe wielding more influence over decisions than I thought they would.

Isn't this just politics? Everyone gets elected to do their thing.

Insane she’s in this country

I'm sure this story is much more complicated and has many more moving pieces than we can ever imagine. General of a brutal dictator and his family move out of a shithole third world country and end up in the US. They end up in a place packed with tens if not a hundred thousand fellow countrymen who now have citizenship (?) and political power. Enough political power to corrupt an entire US state.

Somebody had brains too pull this off. And they have friends in high places.
I missed out on the EV subsidy because the vehicle cost was too high. So I expect nothing but my SS check.

I dont want a tariff check

I don't get any of these freebies. My yearly GAI is too high. My eyes glaze over if I hear I'm going to get a little check from the government.

No Reagan


So Clinton stole it and then Trump. I'll trust you as a source.
Well you see. The democrats have called them fishing boats but we knew different. And so using the foolish logic of the democrats in the title one assumes that a normal reader knows it's just a little joke. But unfortunately some got twisted off on the fact that someone on Poli would think these are fishing boats. You know with five 400 HP Yammys.

When Trump finishes with Venezuela, he will turn his attention Columbia. I assume you realize this is part of the continuum. I find this much more interesting in the long run. Trump is not nearly finished with South America.
Well Trump's time will come to an end and the next thing will emerge. I don't know if it will be called MAGA because that was just a clever slogan (first used by Clinton) that Trump used to get you fired up.

Edit: I can’t wait to see what the talking points are from the Tomahawks that flew over Africa last night
I just thought of a talking point about the tomahawks. Y’all could say that we blew up some camels. Sounds pretty stupid doesn’t it. That is why the right just laughs at some of the shite y’all come up with.

You are low IQ. You only get stuff it is all laid out before you and explained.
quote:

Astounding that people believe the poor Venezuelan fisherman just looking to make a buck any way they can on the sea could reasonably afford one 300-350hp Yamaha let alone 6

I guess you guys just don't get misdirection intended by labeling these boats as fishing boats. We all know they are running drugs. My only intent was to take about 20% of the focus off Venezuela and turn it to Columbia. Because we are also shredding their boats.

If you want to do away with "mass drug smuggling" from Venezuela we should be taking control of all of the Caribbean islands.


At this point, it makes more sense to get rid of Maduro in whatever manner we can. He is indicted in this country.
