It's really a shame. I'd happily give you the distinguished Gen. David Petraeus Award for Military Propaganda and Bullshit. But I already did. So how I do honor you for more lies and bullshit? Comments from a member of Ukraine’s negotiating team help clarify why initial peace negotiations collapsed Speaking of Petraeus, he's as good a symbol as any of the US military industrial complex. Which the group that wrote that article, Responsible Statecraft, rails against. So I am sympathetic to your general argument about US militarism. A short hand way to say it is that if Petraeus is for it, it is probably a war mongering bad idea. Like the surge in Iraq. I am 0 % surprised that Petraeus' cheerleading for Ukraine's 2023 offensive did not turned out as planned. With Petraeus, it never does. But your bullshit and advocacy of genocide is even worse, and just as counterproductive. Here's the key points from the Ukrainian negotiator that refute your bullshit. And underscore how counterproductive your advocacy of genocide is, if your goal is to prevent hundreds of thousands of Russians from dying. And prevent your sorry fucked up stagnant economy from getting even worse and less affordable. The answer to the least question is a no brainer. NO. Ukrainian society will not accept a peace deal that offers neutrality to end the war. Why? Because Ukraine is a democracy, and 90 % of Ukrainians are against that idea. Ain't gonna happen. May as well start choosing which Russians get turned into fertilizer next. And figure out how Russians that are not part of Vlad's kleptocracy are gonna deal with the skyrocketing and unaffordable inflation and interest rates. And with Biden's victory. One of the reasons Trump will lose is most Americans have no reason to reward Vlad's genocide by electing a weak liar who will bow down to him. Vlad's genocide, mass murder, torture, and rape in Bucha no doubt contributed to Ukraine's lack of trust in Genocide Man. But that was early days. At the start of the war it was still fluid as to whether Ukrainians wanted to join NATO. Now it is not. After a few years of Vlad's genocide, mass murder, rape, and torture, the issue is closed. Ukrainians have made up their minds. And you state, in writing, you want more genocide, more mass murder, and more retribution. You are not personally advocating the rape and torture of Ukrainians, and the murder of children. But when Russian soldiers are involved, that just comes with the territory. Vlad's sadistic army seems to be good at that. If it is possible to get 99 % of Ukrainians to not believe a word Putin says and be adamant about joining NATO and the EU, you stupid idiots will figure it out. You have clearly succeeded where Gen. Petraeus and US militarism failed. Congratulations! Couldn't happen to a more genocidal guy.

Fine. Have it you way. You win. Kill millions more Russians. Go ahead. Do it. Fuck up your economy even more, You want 20 % inflation? 30 % interest rates? 50 % bankruptcies? Go for it. You win. How bad do you want to fuck yourselves? How many dead Russians do you want? Go ahead. I'll just sit back and be amazed. "How cruel. How sadistic. How utterly stupid. What a fucked up people. How fucking mean!" In fairness, you're not alone. As you keep saying, the US did it in Iraq. I was amazed at the stupidity of that, too. And it sure did backfire on W. and on the US. If you want to fuck yourselves even more, be my guest. Nearly 90% of Ukrainians oppose territorial concessions to Russia - poll Only a completely stupid Russian who buys Putin's bullshit completely, or maybe is afraid of expressing dissent, would believe Boris Johnson and Barack Obama did that. But if you want to blame it on them, go ahead. You'll probably just feed their egos. Let them think they are that powerful if you want. Go ahead. Kill more Russians. See if I care. See if anyone in the world cares. Master Xi will just tug on the leash he has his sadistic pit bull's testicles in if Vlad gets too far out of line. Like when the sadist was seriously thinking about tactical nuclear war. Meanwhile, Ukrainians will plea to the UN and the world, "These people are genocidal. These people are rapists. These people murder children. These people steal children. We can not trust these people. We can not make peace with these people." And the UN and the world agree. That's very clear. Except to you. If you want to believe none of that, go ahead. Kill as many Russians as you want, and destroy your economy as much as you want. Barack Obama and Boris Johnson did this. It has nothing to do with Vlad's genocide. Michelle had no idea her hubby was that powerful. And no one in the UK even suspected Boris Johnson was that competent.

There you go again. You vomited propaganda all over this board. You keep confirming my point. The UN says Ukraine has raped children, and killed children, and stolen children. Your response, every time, is to ignore what the UN says and blame everything on the US. Jews are Nazis. Boris Johnson, who England fired, somehow had the mystical ability to change the course of history in Ukraine. He convinced the Nazi Jew to do whatever. It's all crazy bullshit and lies. And maybe you actually do believe all this nonsense. I suppose if I were Russian and I knew that 90 % of Ukrainians are now desperate to join NATO and the EU because of all the genocide and murder and rape and torture and stealing of children by Russians, I might want to believe Vlad's genocidal bullshit, too. You are right that at various points along the way conflict perhaps could have been avoided. And you are right the way to do that would have involved Ukraine pledging neutrality. Maybe they could have trusted Vlad not to commit genocide, like he has now. We'll never know. But we do know that a decade ago the majority of Ukrainians were against joining NATO. What changed? One very simple thing. Vlad's invasion. Vlad's genocide. Vlad's mass murder. Vlad's cruel soldiers raping women and children and stealing children and shooting them in the head and back. When the UN calls out your butcher, you say it is all lies. And yet 90 % of Ukrainians believe these lies, and see the cruel mass murder with their own eyes. Putin should be fired and jailed for genocide and mass murder. But if you don't want to do that you should fire the sadist for being the stupidest and most awful dictator ever. Somehow he figured out how to get almost every Ukrainian to hate Russia, to want Russians dead, and to be overwhelmingly clear that they want nothing to do with that murdering genocidal monster. And with Russia. How did your incompetent sadist manage to fuck that up so badly? Now your incompetent sadist has to kill his own people, Russians, in huge numbers, just to avoid losing. And your economy is a piece of shit. Interest rates are through the roof. Inflation is through the roof. People only tolerate your piece of shit economy because they have no choice. Except for all the talented people who have fled your fucked up piece of shit economy because they don't see a future and don't want to be jailed or turned into fertilizer. What a piece of shit incompetent leader your sadist is. How could he figure out how to get Ukraine to hate Russia so deeply and permanently? You might want to consider this question: How did your sadist fuck up Russia so badly? How did he make it so that Ukraine hates Russia, and now Russia needs to process a huge number of its own men into fertilizer simply not to lose a war that has made you look weak and stupid, and has made your economy a boiling mess of skyrocketing interest rates and bankruptcies and inflation? How could one genocidal sadist make such an awful mess that will cripple Russia for the rest of your lives? If not tear it apart? But, no. You two sickos want MORE GENOCIDE. You want more killing. You want retribution. You want murder. Vlad even sounds like he wants nuclear war. You want MORE GENOCIDE. No wonder Ukrainians don't trust you, want nothing to do with you, and will defend themselves and kill you for as long as you keep up with your genocide. instead of trying to comprehend why Ukrainians have a problem with genocide and mass murder and rape and torture and stealing children, all you want to do is bitch about Obama and Boris Johnson. No wonder Ukrainians don't trust you. No wonder Ukrainians feel they can't make peace with cruel people who blame Putin's genocide on Barack Obama. How many Russians do you want to turn into fertilizer for your retribution? 500,000? Five million? How many Ukrainians do you want to rape, torture, and kill for your retribution? Do you want to nuke Berlin? Paris? London? New York? Your incompetent sadist keeps talking about it. Because he knows he is failing, and he has nothing else. You can bitch and moan all you want about Boris Johnson and Nazi Jews. All it does is keep the bullshit and lies flowing. And Ukrainians will defend themselves and kill you. If you think genocide is a solution - WHICH YOU DO - nothing will get better for you. Your economy will continue on its disastrous course. Your men will be turned into fertilizer. All because of your cruelty and your genocide. We both agree that it is a problem that 90 % of Ukrainians despise your monster so much for his genocide that there is no way they will trust Putin and trade land for peace. Ain't gonna happen when 90 % of Ukrainians are against it. It should be clear that most Americans, me included, would rather not fund another forever war. Most Americans want to tie funding to diplomacy, and push Ukrainians to consider how to achieve peace. The polls are very clear about that. But the problem is 90 % of Ukrainians say, "Putin is committing genocide. We don't trust him, and can't make peace with him" The UN agrees. And you want to blame it on Barack Obama and kill more. And you think more genocide, more killing, and more retribution will solve this problem? This idea is cruel, sick, and very stupid. Meaning it is what Putin will do.

You're really revealing your cruelty. What is it about genocide you like? What is it about death that appeals to you? What is it about tragedy that gets you going? Are all Russians like you? We have two posters that identify as Russian. You both seem to be fans of genocide, death, tragedy, and killing as many men, women and children in Ukraine as it takes. Are these Russian values? Now you are going after Biden for his stutter, kind of like you went after los vecinos for coming to the US and speaking Spanish. Some guy you are! Biden has always had a stutter, as you probably know. But it does seem to pop up more than it used to. We all have our things as we age. Vlad, for example, likes putting bullets in journalists' heads and poisoning critics. What Biden said about COVID was spot on. Trump was fired in part because of how he downplayed COVID, which killed 1.2 million Americans. Biden's problem was that the Trump cult often refused to get vaccinated. Which meant after the vaccines were out deaths skewed toward MAGA cult folk. Don't blame Biden for not wanting Trump supporters to die. The way you seem fine with Ukrainian men, women and children dying thanks to your sadist's genocide. DeSantis bragged about how Florida did COVID right. That's true, as long as you like death. Florida had 4,412 deaths per million, compared to 2,838 per million in California. What is particularly interesting is that before the vaccines came out Florida and California has almost equal death rates. I know because I was paying close attention to them at the time. So that huge difference in death rates is because in California deaths slowed down, thanks to vaccines.. And in Florida they sped up thanks to people - Trump supporters - not taking them. In California there were huge differences in counties, based on vaccinations rates. The most liberal pro-Biden counties had death rates that were a fraction of the most most pro-Trump conservatives counties. And it was all about vaccinations rates. The same thing happened all over the world. Sweden championed letting COVID run rampant. They ended up with 2,677 deaths per million, or over double the 1,204 deaths per million suffered by their neighbor Norway. The Swedish government ended up repudiating their own policy. There are examples like that all over the world. Australia to this day has 933 dead per million, or about one quarter of the US death rate. And Australia's rate was a fraction of what it is now during their lockdown. It skyrocketed AFTER they opened up, and the vaccines came out. Because the vaccines could not protect very old vaccinated seniors, who were most of the people who died in Australia. Meanwhile, in the US, lots and lots of middle aged Trump supporters, and even young men with kids, died because they wouldn't get vaccinated. So what Australia proved is that more thoughtful policies, and especially use of vaccines, could perhaps have kept most of the Americans who died alive. But these are people who refused to get vaccinated. Why are you for death? What is it about death you like? Going after Biden because he tried to get as many people vaccinated as possible is championing death. Just like you're a champion of genocide and death for Ukrainian men, women, and children. What the fuck is wrong with you people, @Kostik? Are Russian cruelty and Vlad's genocide viruses like COVID, that spread and kill? It seems like it!

This is why Ukraine can't have peace. The one thing you won't do is answer a question. You're like Vlad and Tucker. It's all bullshit. it's all lies. The Jew who was elected to lead Ukraine is a Nazi. If children die in Ukraine because Russian bombs or soldiers kill them, it is Ukraine's fault. If your genocidal sadist starts a war in Ukraine, it is the fault of the US. Anybody but Russia. When the UN and the world say Russia is stealing children, raping children, torturing children, killing children, you deny and lie. The UN is wrong. The world is wrong. Your genocidal sadist has made Russia a sick perverted murderous joke of a nation. The UN is right. Putin is making cruelty a Russian virtue. You're just fucked. You can lie and deny all you want. Your economy is fucked with high interest rates and high inflation and growth that now depends on Vlad's policy of killing hundreds of thousands of Russians. The world looks down on you. Genocidal Vlad gets that, at least. All he can do to respond is threaten to start a nuclear war. I'm glad Master Xi has your genocidal monster's testicles in a leash, and he can castrate your sadist whenever he wants. This is what Russia is now. Your own sadistic leader's testicles are owned by Master Xi. When Putin was seriously considering using a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine in 2023, because he was getting his weak aging ass kicked, the US had to pull in both India and China to tell your weak aging genocidal sadist that tactical nuclear war in Ukraine was a no no. Your genocidal sadist, who apparently knows Master Xi has his testicles on a leash, obeyed. The more I understand the sickness and cruelty and genocidal ambitions of Russia, the more I think the predictions that the Federation will collapse of its own rot and evil are true. You are a poster child of support for cruelty, and support for genocide.

So then stop talking about US propaganda. It's UN propaganda, then. You are saying the world is wrong. You are for genocide. And you are saying the UN and the world are wrong. Why are you for genocide? If your response is the the US is wrong and the UN is wrong and it is all censorship, propaganda, and lies, you are basically saying, "I AM FOR GENOCIDE." Why are you for genocide? What did Ukrainian children do to you? Why are for the rape, torture, forced relocation and slaughter of Ukrainian children?

We agree. Every time I talk about Gaza, I'll start with this. The internet says 695 civilians were killed in Hamas' genocidal attack on Israel, including 36 children. The death toll was well over 1,000, but I think that includes IDF casualties. You always leave out the part about how Hamas wants genocide for Israel. You always leave out the part about how Putin is carrying out genocide in Ukraine. I think that's because you back genocide. As long as it is your own genocide, that you think benefits Russia. You really don't understand how democracy works, do you? In terms of Israel, see my post above. It is unprecedented for Schumer to say Bibi The Butcher has to go. Can you name prominent Russian politicians who are saying your genocidal sadist has to go? Other than leaders Putin killed, like Navalny? If Israel has the full political support of the US to engage in genocide, why is the most prominent Jewish political leader in the US speaking out against Bibi The Butcher? In terms of the UN, you are still advocating the genocide of children and women in Ukraine. Why is genocide okay when Russia does it? Why are you for genocide? Ukraine: Over 1,500 children killed or injured, concern rises over forced transfers Note that's as of June 2023. The most horrific part of your genocidal monster's sadism is stealing tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. UN committee urges Russia to end ‘forcible transfer’ of Ukrainian children Why are you for cruelty, rape, and murder for Ukrainian children? Why are you for genocide when it benefits Russia? (Assuming it benefits Russia that 90 % of Ukrainians don't trust your genocidal monster to make peace, and therefore hundreds of thousands of Russians need to be processed into fertilizer by Vlad to keep Russia from losing.)

Gracias por tu ayuda. Here's the problem. You are advocating genocide right now. Chechnya was all about the genocide of Russian Muslims. Asked about Vlad's first big genocide, all you can talk about is Belgrade. You are advocating the genocide of Ukrainian men, women, and children right now. You know. Los vecinos. The neighbors you love. You love them so much you slaughter them in a genocide. Your soldiers rape children. Your soldiers intentionally kill children. When asked about it, you say bullshit in Spanish. It's bullshit and genocide in any language. This is why I don't see Russians as victims. You are backing genocide. You are backing your genocidal monster. Not all Russians feel like you. They tend to be killed, or imprisoned, or poisoned, or assassinated, or sent to the front. But the polls suggest most Russians back their genocidal monster and his genocide. And you are also subtly fear-mongering about people entering the US who speak Spanish. You seem to be for hate. You seem to be for genocide. No one is trying to get into Genocide World. So it's a problem you don't have. Your problems are high interest rates, high inflation, and high rates of Russians who don't want to die being turned into fertilizer by their sadistic genocidal leader.

Israel releases images of slain children to rally support In the opening days of the Israel-Gaza war two small boys, both aged four, were killed. One was Israeli, one Palestinian. Omar Bilal al-Banna and Omer Siman-Tov lived roughly 23km (14.3 miles) apart, on either side of the Israel-Gaza perimeter fence. They never met, but both loved playing outside with their siblings. They were both killed as violence unfolded.

Since the topic of your thread is the USA and killing, this merits attention. If you want to talk about the US and genocide, let's get specific. Schumer calls for new government, 'course corrections' by Israel So one of the top Republican AIPAC whores is saying the highest ranking Jewish official in US history is anti-Israel. Give me a fucking break. Schumer received $1.72 million in pro-Israel campaign contributions from 1990 to 2024, only slightly less than McConnell's $1.95 million in campaign contributions. The Senator who got the most pro-Israel money during this period? Joe Biden. Over $5 million in pro-Israel money. I agree with Biden and Schumer. Two genocides don't make a right. And they certainly don't make peace. Bibi The Butcher is an obstacle to peace. Bibi The Butcher is the builder and architect of the hate that allows Hamas to flourish. Getting Bibi the Butcher out of the way is not rewarding terrorism. it is rewarding peace. I'm glad Schumer is pointing this out. This is unprecedented. It confirms that young Americans and Arab Americans who are very angry and hurt about the genocide in Gaza are scaring the shit out of Democrats who want Biden re-elected and a Democratic House and Senate. Arguably, this is now the #1 threat to Biden's re-election. Except we all know that Trump will cheerlead Bibi's genocide and anti-peace policies, if he gets a chance. All that said, @Kostik, I missed the part where Ukrainian terrorists flew airplanes into Moscow's most important buildings, killing thousands of innocent people, like al Queda did. I missed the part where thousands of Ukrainian terrorists rampaged Russia and killed entire families and burned their babies alive, like Hamas did. All I heard about is how Vlad invaded Ukraine, killing tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers, and tens of thousands of innocent women and children. All I heard about is the horrific genocide in Mariupol, where your sick genocidal leader conducted a genocidal slaughter against innocent women, innocent children, innocent seniors. Your genocidal monster is a sick man who wantonly kills babies. Your cruel Russian soldiers rape children, torture children, shoot children in the back, shoot children in the head. You know a lot about genocide. You are cruelly advocating genocide right now. This is who Vladimir Putin is. This is what Vladimir Putin does. Putin and Bibi The Butcher and Hamas are soul mates. In Ukraine, empty strollers are a symbol of children killed in war

You go girl!

You're obviously an expert on genocide. Allegations of genocide of Ukrainians in the Russian invasion of Ukraine You live In Genocide World, with a genocidal sadist as your leader. What could be better? In Genocide World, Genocide Vlad kills tens of thousands of children, and steals hundreds of thousands more. Of course, nobody really wants to live in Genocide World. That's why you have to steal children. Thank you for sharing. You know all about genocide, for sure. Russian soldiers deliberately kill Ukrainian kids, new film says Genocide World is all about stealing and killing children. Genocide World is all about shooting children in the back. Genocide World is all about putting bullets in the heads of children. Genocide World is all about raping children. Genocide World is all about cruelty. Genocide World is all about making cruelty and genocide a growing part of Russian culture. Genocide World is working hard to increase the number of children Russia kills, and the number of Russians turned into fertilizer to kill them. Thank you for sharing. You know all about genocide, for sure.

As Biden impeachment stalls, House GOP turns to backup plans What a bunch of total fuck ups. They hate invading immigrants, and want immigration reform. Until they don't. They want Kevin McCarthy to lead them. Until they don't. They want to impeach Biden. Until they don't. Or can't. Other than feeding lies and blame and incompetence and inaction to their angry base, what can these people actually do? Other than fuck everything up?

Did facts abuse you, @EmmetK? Lichtman and his Russian seismologist buddy came up with a system for using historical patterns - aka FACTS - to determine outcomes. It has worked like a charm since 1984. Lichtman has repeatedly stunned observers. He did so in 1983 when he predicted over a year in advance that Reagan would win. He did so most recently in September 2016 when he predicted Trump would win. Even your cult leader showed respect for facts by writing him a note. He didn't say, "Professor, you need a diaper change." He said, "Good call, professor." Did facts abuse you, @EmmetK? Lichtman tells a story about how Lee Atwater invited him to the White House after he predicted Reagan would win in 1983. Atwater did not say, "Professor, you need a diaper change." He asked if it would make a difference if Reagan did not run again. Atwater was associated with HW Bush. So Lichtman did not say this. But I assume it could be Atwater knew this kind of thinking would undercut any chance that Reagan would clear the way for his Veep to run instead in 1984. Lichtman said that Reagan NOT running in 1984 would hurt Republicans. They lose incumbency, for sure, which is one his 13 keys. Depending on how the primary went, it could also cause a party fight. This was BEFORE Lichtman predicted correctly in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. So he was good enough for Lee Atwater as a rookie. But he's not good enough for you, @EmmetK. That Atwater 1984 story resonates, as Lichtman himself has said recently, because we've seen this movie before. Reagan was too old. He may well have had early symptoms of Alzheimers, we now know. Yet running as an incumbent and avoiding a party fight worked out well for Republicans. By comparison, not having an incumbent and having a huge fight that split the party is precisely what turned two Keys against Democrats in 2016, opening the door for Trump. Had Obama been able to run for a third time, he likely would have won. Did facts abuse you, @EmmetK? David Broder of the WaPo felt a bit like you do, @EmmetK. In 1983, polls showed Mondale beating Reagan by double digits. So it makes sense that at the start of 1984 Broder, a very wise journalist, could give rookie Lichtman this polite dig: Another thing that really happened is Reagan won in a landslide. Lichtman predicted, accurately, that Reagan would be "very strong". Only 2 of his 13 Keys were turned against Reagan, fewer than any other election he has correctly predicted in advance. Did facts abuse you, @EmmetK? Lichtman has said, with reason, that the last thing to pay attention to are polls. Especially polls this far in advance. And yet you are convinced that you know better than Lichtman, @EmmetK. Your cult leader will win in a landslide, you believe. Because right now he is, according to the RCP average, two points ahead of Biden. Lichtman is demonstrating, again, how history and facts work. You are demonstrating, yet again, how the cult brain works, @EmmetK.. Did facts abuse you, @EmmetK? I posted that already in another thread. But instead of going through the math of how it leans toward a Biden victory in November, I'll ask three questions. 1. The trend since Summer 2022 is that fewer and fewer people say thing are getting worse. The AWOL recession has not appeared, inflation is 3 %, the stock market keeps hitting all time highs, middle class average net worth is up 30 % in the last four years, and rising. Any reason to think the trend won't continue through November? 2. If the trend continues, the Trump-Biden match in 2020 suggests Biden will win handily. It is a fact that for 20 years, in every Presidential race, people who say they are better off than four years ago vote about 3 to 1 to keep the party in power. People who says they are worse off vote about 3 to 1 to throw out the party in power. This of course makes common sense. The strange thing about 2020 is that people who say they're just as well off usually split their vote 50/50. In 2020 they did not. The people who were no better or worse off than in 2016 voted 2 to 1 against Trump. That suggests that there was something about Trump they really didn't like. Could it be? 3. In 2016, 41 % of voters said their financial situation was "about the same" as four year ago. They voted 47 % Clinton, 45 % Trump. So even in a year when Trump was the new guy, and the change candidate, he could only get 45 % of that vote. In 2020 Trump got 34 % of the "about the same" as four years ago vote. If he gets 34 % of that vote again in 2024, he is toast. If he gets 45 %, like in 2016 when he was the change candidate, it will be a very close race. Which is more likely? These are the questions that I think will determine who wins. But I agree with wise Lichtman. The poll above shows the economic trends are on Biden's side now. History is on Biden's side, at the moment. Trump will have to convince people that he can make things better, like they were in 2020. When voters fired him. For some strange reason, I just feel that's less than a sure thing. But you know it all, @EmmetK. I guess facts must have abused you. Now you're done with them, and you're just into the truth. Well, Truth Social at least. 😲

Golly gosh darn @Kostik. It is so much worse than you think. I think the problem is you don't understand how evil the US is. And how corrupt democracy is. The problem is you live in Genocide World, where everyone is kind and loving. Except to the women they rape, and they children they kill. And The Gays, of course. So you have no idea of how horrific and evil it is in the US. Pressure on Boeing grows as Buttigieg says the company needs to cooperate with investigations You can see the real problem already. Homosexuals! Now, a smart guy like you might ask, Why would they put perverts and sex criminals in charge of an investigation? And why would they be investigating Boeing anyway, when they're killing people who tell the truth about Boeing, who Hunter Biden owns half of. (Vlad owns the other half, of course. Vlad owns everything, and kills anyone who fucks with him.) Here's how diabolically fiendish the evil US is. This is all a head fake. Just like when Vlad said he really hopes Biden wins. Everyone knows Pervert Pete is a sex criminal. But thanks to all the do gooders here we can't just kill the son of a bitch, like he is Navalny or something. We have to be more devious. So we put him in charge of an investigation to figure out who is gonna say bad stuff about Boeing. That gives us our hit list, see? I mean, it's not like we can just kill everyone who writes something negative about Vlad, or something. We have to get a hit list. Smoke 'em out. Then we kill 'em. Just watch. That's what is really going on. All those people who say bad things about Boeing are going to be taken out. Now, you may be thinking, But what about the sex pervert who heads the Dept. of Transportation? Vlad wouldn't stand for this kind of moral outrage. See, that's what is different in Genocide World. Vlad is too nice. Too honest. We use these moral degenerates like Pervert Pete to make an example. He'll get on a plane some day, with a few hundreds other passengers, and it will just mysteriously fall out of the sky. Yeah, innocent people die. So what? That's how we do things here. Cruel, I know. But the US ain't like Genocide World.

Oh. Do you mean facts? What did they do to you? How did facts abuse you? You poor thing! A new poll just out reinforces what I have been saying about third party voters. It is even better for Biden than I thought. This polls shows Trump leading 40/38, a two point margin just like the RCP average. Here's what else it says: If 15 % of Biden or Trump voters change their mind, that could go either way. But with Stein and West, it actually can't. In this poll, 2 % of voters back Stein, and 2 % back West. If many of them shift - which they are saying they are open to doing - guess where they will go? You think Stein and West voters will vote for Trump? That alone would give Biden a small lead, if that is the only thing that changes. If there is a recession that is about to hit, that is the main thing that could change people's mind negatively against Biden. But, as I documented above, the momentum is going the other way. People are feeling better, not worse, about their personal financial situation. The good news for Biden is it's almost impossible for more people to say his age is a concern. That is now baked into the cake. Meanwhile, 57 % of voters say they approve of Trump's Presidency. So we know at least 7 % of Americans that NEVER approved of Trump's Presidency FOR ONE DAY while he was POTUS are open to being reminded about why the fired Trump is the first place. They will be reminded. Sorry for being abusive by stating facts, @EmmetK.

Because every poll does not show Trump leading Biden. Two recent polls showed Biden leading Trump. But, facts aside, if the polls make you feel better, good for you. I would not bet on them in March of an election year, though. Remember all those "red wave" polls from 2022? But let's talk about why Trump has a small lead over Biden now, in March 2024. First, the cult hates Biden. So start with hate and this fact-free cultish environment. That's your base. Second, a lot of people who see Trump for the dangerous crook he is are pissed at Biden: inflation, Gaza, etc. So they say I won't vote. Or I will vote for RFK, or Stein, or West. That's lowering Biden's numbers overall, and in four or five way polls. The thing we know from every single election - every single one - is that won't hold. That's a fact. Which means it does not permeate the cult brain. Third, as @floridarob said, people get serious walking into the voting booths. Or, as that guy Trump complimented said - what's his name? You know, that guy Trump really admired. That guy Trump sent a note to, complimenting? Shit? Who is it? Trump really likes him Oh, Allan Lichtman That's right. Trump admires him. Lichtman says when people get serious, they vote based on fundamentals. That's why Carter was leading Reagan in the polls. Until he lost in a landslide. The misery index was sky high in 1980. Now it is lower than when America fired Trump. That's how Biden is going to win in November, @EmmetK. You heard it here first. I'm going to explain it. But, please. Stop reading, @EmmetK. Stop reading now. These are facts. The cult brain feels abused by facts. And I don't want to abuse you with facts. That first "better off" poll is what people told Mark Penn in a recent Harvard Harris poll. You can see this question is polled a lot, and the findings are reliable. And there is a trend. Here's an important fact. Penn's polls always skew toward Trump. His latest poll showed Trump beating Biden by 6. Emerson shows Biden beating Trump by 1. The RCP average right now shows Trump beating Biden by 2. So we're using a data set that skews a bit toward Trump. The second set of numbers are how people actually voted in 2020, based on how they felt about their personal financial situation. So the math is simple. If everything stays the same, and nothing changes, Biden wins. Here's the math. If this is like 2020, the 45 % of people who feel worse off will break 77/20 for Trump. They want change. Just like in 2020 the "worse off" crowd voted overwhelmingly for Biden. So Trump wins that slice overwhelmingly. So if Trump gets 77 % of that chunk it's 35 %. With the better off crowd, the opposite. Trump only wins 26 % of those votes. That's 8 %. In 2020, people who said they are about the same voted 34 % for Trump. That's 9 % of that chunk. So if nothing changes and this is like 2020, Trump gets 35 + 8 + 9. That's 52 %. Trump wins. Woo hoo! But wait! I said Biden wins. Why? Because people are feeling better about their financial situation every month. That's extremely clear. When inflation peaked, almost 2 in 3 Americans said they felt worse off than a year before. Because they were right. Inflation sucks. That's down to 45 %. If nothing changes and the declining trend stays the same, it looks about like this in November. 38 % of people, a plurality, will say they feel worse off than a year ago (meaning last November). The additional 7 % who shift off "worse off" split between "better off" and "the same". This is what has been happening consistently since Summer 2022. So in November 2024 the numbers are 38 % worse off, 32 % better off, 30 % the same. Do the math. If Trump gets 77 % of the worse off, that's 29.3 %. If he gets 26 % of the better off, that's 8.3 %. If he gets 34 % of the "feels the same" crowd, that's 10.2 %. Add the numbers up and it's 48 %. Do the same for Biden and it's 52 %. Biden wins. Woo hoo! Could this happen? Fuck yeah! It DID happen in 2020. Of course, some people will vote for RFK and Stein and West. But these numbers are very similar to what happened in 2020. It's not cultish fact denial to think that people who voted for Biden in 2020 will do so again. Including people who view Biden as the lesser of evils, because they can't stand Trump. Even among Democrats, polls show up to half of Democrats are voting for Biden as a vote against Trump. Will the economy keep improving? Anyone making money in the stock market? Why? Anyone notice inflation is 3 %? Anyone think interest rates are going to go down, not up? (Except in Genocide World, aka Russia, where interest rates are sky high and going up.) Biden will remind people that the misery index is LOWER than when they fired Trump in 2020. And he'll remind people that Trump is for Genocide Guy, aka Putin. I know I am going heavy on facts, which are abusive to the cult brain. But these are really important facts. There's two things in particular in that Harvard/Harris poll that are very bad news for Trump. The first is that 57 % of people in that poll say they approve of Trump's Presidency. That's horrible news for Trump. Because it has nothing to do with reality. During every single day from 2017 to 2021, Trump never get 50 % approval. Let alone 57 %. So he is unquestionably set for a fall. Everything people don't like about Joe Biden is in their face every day. Like his age. What people hear about Trump right now is, "He won". That's about to change. Trump cut taxes for the rich, which blew up the deficit. Trump tried to take your health care protections away. Trump sent his thugs to the Capitol to break the bones of cops when you fired him. Murders spiked when Trump was President. Murders are down 10 % in 2023. Fentanyl deaths spiked under Trump. Trump is a crook. Trump is a rapist. Trump is a liar. Trump is a loser. These are all facts. If this is as good as it gets for Trump, while he is on a roll with his primary victories, it ain't nowhere good enough. If this is as bad as it gets for Biden, that's good news to me. Remember that in early 1980 Carter was beating Reagan. In 1983 Mondale was beating Reagan. The even more devastating thing for Trump is that Harvard/Harris poll actually says the youngest voters, under 25, support Trump over Biden by a 20 point margin. Penn is telling us voters aged 19-24 will vote for Trump over Biden 55/34. That is what is baked into Trump's 6 % lead over Biden. Meanwhile, this Economist poll says voters aged 18 to 29 will vote for Biden 55 to 32. And they show a dead heat, 44/44. Biden won "the youth vote" almost 2 to 1 in 2020. Which seems more likely? I think this one is a no brainer. Many older 2020 Trump voters have died. The youngest voters voting for the first time may not like Biden. But do we really believe they want Trump to win, so he can ban abortion and make climate change denial federal policy? Don't bet on that. I have no idea why these polls showing Trump leading have such unbelievable numbers about how young voters love Trump. They don't. This may be one where polling methodology with young voters who don't answer phone calls is skewing reality. I don't know. I do know Gen Z is not Trump's base. They despise him. If I made one questionable assumption, it is this. You can see that in 2020 almost 2 in 3 voters who felt the same as four years ago voted for Biden. That is unprecedented. In every other election since 2000, where we have exit polls, voters who felt the same as four years ago tended to split their vote about 50/50. So why did 65 % of this group vote for Biden in 2020? And will they do it again? That's the most interesting question about the 2024 election. And no one knows. But we do know they voted for Biden in 2020. Often because they could not bring themselves to vote for Trump. So when Nikki Haley says, and the polls confirm, that she would have attracted voters that don't really want either Biden or Trump, she is probably right. I think this is why the cult just fucked up fatally by choosing the crooked person a majority of America will not vote for, just like in 2020. The cult brain doesn't care about these things. The cult brain wants to chant the name of one dead American. And make America great again by pushing all kinds of lies and blame and hate and negativity. The cult is led by a lying crooked loser. The cult is not going to win.

He took no civics class, obviously. That's the problem. Actually, it's worse. His civics class is being taught by Donald Trump and his Cult. You get extra credit for lies, and breaking the bones of cops to destroy democracy. Needless to say, it is tragic. Much is being lost. First, @EmmetK, I'll state again that your own chart shows that accidental drug deaths soared under Trump, and are slowing under Biden. Fentanyl trafficking across the border soared under Trump. So it is a bipartisan problem. Trump let it fester and get worse and worse. Your own facts prove it. But, hey. Why bother with facts? Seemingly, Sen, Katie Britt ignored the civics classes, too. And the facts. She must have gone to Trump U. Sex trafficking survivor slams Britt for inaccurate story in SOTU response Sure, go ahead. Get it all wrong, and blame it on Biden. That's a Cult thing to do. It's his fault. Here's what's being lost by this asinine, uncivil behavior: actually doing something. Two of the most significant bills to protect women from sex trafficking are the Violence Against Women's Act, and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. I think they are viewed as the landmark and cornerstone protections that have both been very effective. Both depended on strong bipartisan support to actually do something. The Violence Against Women Act was introduced in the House by Dem. Rep. Jack Brooks. But Biden did the heavy lifting in the Senate, and appropriately takes credit for it. The TVPA is acknowledged by most advocates as the single most effective piece of legislation in cracking down on sex trafficking, where it has been fully funded and enforced. That was liberal Democratic Sen. Paul Wellstone and conservative Republican Sen Sam Brownback. Very bipartisan. Sen. Britt went to the Mexican border, met the trafficking victim above, and then did nothing - other than attack Biden for something that did not happen in the US, and happened while W. was President. By comparison, Sen. Brownback went to Nepal, met victims of trafficking, was moved to do something, and joined Wellstone on bipartisan action. Perhaps that is why Brownback had a distinguished career as both a US Senator and Governor. Much like Bob Graham of Florida, who with Sandra Day O'Connor was an advocate for teaching civics in school. All very honorable public servants. Too bad they weren't able to help Sen. Britt. She could use some civics. And some facts. The fun fact about the TVPA for those who knew and loved Paul and his wife Sheila is that she was one of the forces behind the bill. She organized the wives of other Senators she was friends with, both Democrat and Republican, to get their husbands to make protecting women from sex trafficking a priority. That is civics. That is actually doing something. But don't ask me. Ask Republican Ken Buck, who just announced he's had enough of the bullshit and won't even serve out the rest of his term:

Exactly. Cult thinking. Murder declined in every major city in America in 2023, based on that chart I posted twice now. But instead of caring about fewer murders - thousands less murders - you just want to engage in cult blame. It doesn't matter to you that murders spiked - by the thousands - under Trump. Your duty is to worship him. The cult does not know the names of the thousands who were murdered during Trump's murder spike. The cult does not care about them, or their families, or their stories. The cult does not care about the tens of thousands of innocent women and children being killed in Ukraine by the genocidal monster Trump wants you to bow down to. All the cult wants to do is engage in its ritualistic blame and hatred of Joe Biden.

Facts, anyone? Your own chart: In 2017, when Trump was President, accidental drug deaths soared to all time highs. In 2018, when Trump was President, accidental drug deaths soared to new all time highs. in 2019, when Trump was President, accidental drug deaths soared to even higher all time highs. In 2020, when the American public ended the failed Presidency of this incompetent crook, accidental drug deaths soared by 20,000 deaths in one year alone, to a staggering new all time high. Altogether, based on your own chart, which only goes to 2020, accidental drug deaths soared under the crooked incompetent Trump at an unprecedented pace. Under Biden, they are rising at a much slower pace, and may be starting to flatten out. You are literally blaming the horrific rise in deaths under Trump on Biden. Literally. All your chart does is extrapolate the horrific rate of increase of the tens of thousands of additional deaths that happened under incompetent Trump, and blames it on Biden. Even though those rates flattened out under Biden, and declined in many states. What did facts do to you, @EmmetK? Did facts abuse you? Because you are very abusive to facts.

Bibi the Butcher? He's not my best friend. He's the genocide dude. I thought Bibi and Vlad were best friends. They are both into genocide, after all. Sadists of a feather flock together. There's at least tens of thousands of women and children killed thanks to each of the genocidal sadists. What Bibi is doing in Gaza is in the ballpark of what your genocidal sadist did in Mariupol. And about ask quickly.

I don't speak Russian. In addition to all your other ridiculous and laughable arguments, are you now claiming that what the Russian journalists that Putin does kill are allowed to say in Russian media is also US propaganda? This Biden dude must be pretty smart to get past Putin and get the Russian journalists Putin doesn't kill to report US propaganda. In other words, genocide not only leads to Vlad turning hundreds of thousands of Russians into fertilizer. It leads to Russians committing more murder, too. Who'd have guessed?

Biden is a murderer. A mass murderer. @EmmetK's chart proves it. In 2017, when Biden was President, accidental drug deaths soared to all time highs. In 2018, when Biden was President, accidental drug deaths soared to new all time highs. in 2019, when Biden was President, accidental drug deaths soared to even higher all time highs. In 2020, when Biden was so demented that the American public ended his failed Presidency, accidental drug deaths soared by 20,000 deaths in one year alone, to a staggering new all time high. Now that Donald Trump is President, and making America great again, he's got a handle on the problem. Accidental drug deaths seem to be starting to flatten out. But we have a lot more work to do.

Exactly. Thanks to demented dictator Biden, murder went through the roof last year. Just last year, 200,000 Americans were turned into fertilizer by criminal Ukrainians invading our country. Jews! Nazi Jews! Meanwhile, in Russian cities, there is no murder thanks to Vlad. Anyone who says there is a murder problem in Russian cities needed to be silenced. Or sent to jail. Or poisoned. Or shot in the head There is no murder in Russia. Russia Records First Rise in Murder Rate for 20 Years – Kommersant

I didn't say that. I said Vlad is blameless for the problems of the Russian Federation. How could he be? There are none. I love Vlad. Much like I love cats, dogs, and Ukrainian children. Living ones. With mothers. And fathers. Living ones. Vlad is perfection. And he has made Russia a perfect image of his perfect, beautiful self. Vlad is love. Vlad is kindness. Vlad is decency. Vlad is kindness. Vlad is perfection.
