Donald J. Trump (For everyone else except Victor)
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
It might be a joke but when millions of violent radical leftists many of which with power within colleges aren't considered as much of a problem for society as 50k fat low income low iq radical right extremists by the FBI, that's a political choice.
When burning down 50 cities in organized ways doesn't trigger the biggest nationwide investigations against domestic terrorism in a generation, same thing.
"leftist" might not be the proper word but not defining BLM as the biggest domestic terror threa
what are those blm terrorists up to now?
As has been thoroughly demonstrated, acts of right-wing domestic terrorism occur far more frequently than acts of left-wing domestic terrorism occur in America.
You're right, though, the FBI is SHOCKINGLY left. Just last week, they instituted a 99% income tax on all billionaires, pulled all US arms support to Israel, and imprisoned 10,000 landlords! And now they're even talking about expropriating all the private land ownership of the colonist class and giving it back to whatever non-genocide
If you don't count acts of left wing domestic terrorism as such, ofc you "demonstrate" what you want. Not counting BLM as domestic leftwing terrorism for example.
I'm very curious where *normal* trump stans are finding their copium at these days
Crypto bros: well this isn't going great for you
Inflation bros: well this isn't going great for you
Palestine bros: well this isn't going great for you
Leon bros: end yourselves
Can you just admit you wanted this cuz of big white guy energy Cuz this seems to be going spectacularly for big white guy energy bros
Yeah, I'm not sure why a crypto fan would vote for trump over kamala. Nearly all of Trump's economic policies are about growing the size of the US economy and a strong US economy is good for the USD. Crypto is far better off with a weakening USD - in the same way most businesses are better off with less competition.
Inflation is extremely likely to be lower over the next 20, 50 and 100 years if we have 4 years of trump than it would have been with 4 years of kamala if we can assume she wasn't lying when she was asked what she would change from what biden did and responded with something like nothing I can think of.
The day you can explain to me how stock going higher help the poor people ill agree with you .
Stock market up almost 300% in 10 years .
Are poor people in a better place today ?
Even middle class can hardly buy a house lol .
Did you mean to respond to my post or were you trying to respond to someone else? I said rich people contribute more than what they get out of the gov't and the poor is the opposite. Your reply doesn't seem to have anything to do with my post.
I'm not sure who you were trying to ask your question to, but I can maybe help educate you here.
If I was able to go to the future to the year 2035 do you think the middle class would be better off I came back and reported that wal-mart, mcdonalds, ford, pnc bank, hilton hotels, apple and a lot of other companies' stock were are all up around 150% or would the middle class be better off if those companies were flat over those same 10 years? To answer this question you first half to know that mcdonalds stock would be better off if the middle class is buying more hamburgers than they are now, ford stocks tends to do better the more people are buying their cars, apple does better when the middle class can buy their phones, etc.
There is this perception that the stock market = the economy or that the stock market is even reflective of the economy but the stock market is largely a product of money supply
I agree 100% the stock market does not = the economy. However, I strongly beleive you are wrong with your other two statement 1) that the stock market is NOT reflective of the economy and 2) the stock market is a "largely a product of the money supply".
1) The stock market is absolutely a leading indicator on the economy.
2) The stock market is effected by the money supply sure but acting like that is the main driver of stock prices is silly. It would be equally as silly to say the price of your bicycle, your dinner last night or your haircut is the product of the money supply. Sure the price of stocks and all those 3 other things went up because the fed printed 3x the normal rate for money printing for 2 years after covid and dems fought their asses off to shut down as much of the economy for as long as they could, but there are other things that have more of an effect of stocks and those 3 other things.
Still teaching their kids to keep their hands visible when they get pulled over by cops.
A disproportionate amount of the BLM-related rioting and violence was committed by white people.
The usual mechanism was for normal healthy protests including masses of peaceful black people to happen by day, then where enough antifas and associates (almost all whites) were available, rioting at night in the same areas.
Well the idea from the right is that the FBI did destroy its reputation.
They operated under the purported priority that the biggest domestic threat was rightwing extremists in the USA for example.

They were used to attack parents at school board meetings

The FBI has always cooked up most of the terrorism it has found from the left, right, or other...like this:

because the kamala administration and unelected officials were actively trying to kill crypto
since trump:
- ended Operation Chokepoint 2.0
- two bills moving through congress
- total overhaul at SEC
- Pro crypto appointees at SEC, Treasury, Commerce, CFTC - moderates in at OCC and FDIC
- created the crypto czar role in WH
- banks allowed to touch crypto again
- day 1 EO on crypto
- end of litigation against Coinbase, other major crypto firms
--
a better foundation is good. what we were left with was a total shitpit of memecoins and garbage because that's all the biden/kamala administration would allow for.
number will go up regardless. any government will print.
Lol. You don't know much.

And 100% for sure there are FBI and other police who have infiltrated any "antifa" or BLM group/gathering.
so much winning
Hard to imagine that right wing nut jobs would be so stupid and ignorant to think that the police and FBI have not pursued left-wing groups, but here we have it.

So you're talking about groups like the Boogaloo Bois that were found guilty of starting fires, and outside white nationalist groups that shot at police stations and looted?

Or are we excluding them because... well... they are for team Trump?

I didn't say individual stock prices are a product of money supply, but the overall stock market is.
And prices of things are a product of money supply. Thats how inflation works
Anyways, the last thread about inflation was a **** show so don't really need to bring this conversation into politics
Infiltrating. Is that another word for entrapment?
Totes... Trump firing tons of NSA, security, and defense teams, and then voting alongside N. Korea and Russia yesterday at the UN assembly against Ukraine. Trump saying Ukraine started the war and repeating Kremlin propaganda. I'm going to have to dust off my crystal ball to see what's likely going to happen next here. Another head scratcher.

On the George Floyd protests; the biggest event for BLM:
"People killed: In early June, news accounts reported the number of people killed during the Floyd protests at roughly a dozen, or as many as 19. The victims include a 77-year-old man who was a retired St. Louis police captain and a 22-year-old woman from Davenport, Iowa."
Take any two of the most prominent white supremacist/Nazi/MAGA domestic terrorists and they have killed more people than the entirety of BLM can be even tangentially accounted for throughout the duration of the George Floyd protests.
I mean, my god, if you're this scared of the milquetoast, working-with-Democrats group BLM, I can't even fathom the sheer terror that an actual militant activist group like the Black Panthers would have spurred in your frightened little soul!
Anyway, I do indeed rank "walking into a black church and shooting 15 old churchgoers directly after writing a far-right manifesto which contains many of the same grievances as the average Luciom post" higher on the terrorism scale than when a dude breaks the windows of a Starbucks.

This is the entirety of the article you linked
not particularly helpful
The police/FBI pushing people into things has happened over and over. They've gotten like mentally handicapped people building bombs.
For sure. The FBI has a looooooong history of entrapping lone wolves into threatening or even attempting acts of terrorism. I remember one where they catfished this 20-something Muslim-American. This was a guy who just wanted to live a normal-ish life, one free from the overbearing religious oppression of his family. He was very lonely, didn't accomplish much in school or work, etc., and posted regularly about his desperation to find a nice woman to date/marry. The FBI then created a female 20-something Muslim-American woman catfish account to get this guy to fall in love, exchange sweet messages for months, and over time lead him to believe there's finally a woman out there who understands and loves him. They make plans to meet, and... ghosted. In his despair, the guy made some ISIS-style rageposts that were enough to get him arrested. As far as I remember, he didn't ever attempt any act of violence.
(the above is written from a 5-year-old memory and all details may not be accurate)
It's the needlessness of the cruelty that really gets to me. I mean, what is the point of all this, from the FBI's perspective, other than to justify its own budget to itself?
