can he explain your extreme obesity?

A lot of jews with names in education are supporting Trump. It's quite surprising.

[Wardell Curry]

Given the relatively low percentage of jews in the US and their prominence within the government, media and positions of power in general, the Jews are either genetically superior in terms of intelligence and thus there are differences in races because of evolution, and breaking it down further: this means that certain races are smarter than others.

or!

There's a conspiracy.

You can't have both, dems. You don't get to have both. Pick your poison. Either way your world view is incompatible with itself.

So basically populists where removed because of great threat to globalists lol And not because voting for a man that speaks like a 4th grader feels wrong. I was listening to trumps lex interview and it just proved me again that hes all talk.He talks about huge plans , the best plans but when asked to expand on that he just rambles about bullshit. Very shallow and boring.

Do you mean as opposed to how Biden or Harris talk?

At least, Trump can talk for over an hour. Kamala and her 18 minute puff piece - feel good "interview" by CNN (I suggest you see Bash's interview of JD Vance for contrast).

Who cares how he talks. It's about the way he governs and it's about the special interest groups that he's not loyal to cause he's not part of the D.C. Establishment. You're focusing on the low-hanging fruit and not on the overwhelmingly evident case that we have a crooked and murderous system of government had they managed to take Trump out.

The guy has you truly hoodwinked, hasn't he? He is part of the very swamp. It's hilarious that you think he cares about anyone other than himself and his billionaire buddies. His tax plan helped him, his billionaire buddies, and corporations by far more than anyone. But you are in the Trump cult, so there's no reasoning with you.

You're so dumb. They have impeached him twice. They are trying to throw him in jail. And now they tried to kill him. And you sit there in your wheelchair and type that nonsense of you thinking that Trump is part of the same establishment?? :facepalm

He's definitely not part of the establishment - they hate him - even the RINOs - because they can't control him.

[Patrick Chewing]

blade is just not that bright. He's been called out on it several times on this board.

Mitt Romney is the establishment. Mitch McConnell is the establishment. Liz Cheney just endorsed Kamala Harris after calling her a radical lol. She's properly getting roasted on social media right now because of it. And of course the Democrats are the establishment. So to sit here and say that Donald Trump is part of the same club is comical. These RINOS despise him because he's gotten them to lose their job. Look at how many RINOS are unemployed right now. Why would an establishment guy do that?? The Republican Party itself is fractured, but the Republican voter is not. The Republican voter stands behind Trump and his policies and direction for this country. That's what that handicapped moron doesn't understand.

[diamenz]

He's definitely not part of the establishment - they hate him - even the RINOs - because they can't control him.

in what regard though? i'd argue that the tax cuts tell the entire story. he gave trillions of $ to his corporate donors and the establishment you speak of works for those same donors. not to mention he plans to pass even more tax cuts for the wealthy during his second term. you can tell me about trickle-down economics and jobs all you want and that's fair if you believe in that ideology but i say f*** that - just give the $ straight to the middle class because it goes right back into the economy as opposed to getting hoarded for years on end by the 1%. this was his signature legislation btw. it defines his presidency from an economic standpoint.

now you could certainly make the argument that he was somewhat unorthodox on foreign policy (which i've given him credit for in the past on things like meeting with kim without preconditions, calling out nato on their bullshit, buddying up with putin which was a plus because china is our real economic enemy and starting no new wars) but it doesn't go far enough...

trump let sheldon adelson control israeli fp and he even bragged about it lol. of course sheldon is dead now but noe his wife is throwing him all kinds of $ and he's made it clear he supports israel 110% going forward. that's not america-first.

trump increased drone strikes ten fold.

occupied a third of syria to "take the oil".

kept us in iraq, kept us in afghanistan, bombed syria, assassinated sulimani (however tf you spell it).

tried to coup venezuela.

ripped up the iran agreement (some argue this was for the better).

armed saudi arabia as they carried out a genocide in yemen.

armed ukraine.

hired john bolton, hr mcmaster, mike pompeo, gina haspel who are all huge neocon warmongers that more or less ran his foreign policy or at the least gave him all sorts of terrible advice.

and to top it all off, killed a young american girl while carrying out his first military raid.

what part of any of all of that antiestablishment?

anyway, you may be led to believe so , but trump is not antiestablishment. not foreign and certainly not domestically.

Solid post! Fact is Trump is as much swamp as any Democrat or Republican out there. People forget he was close friends with the Clintons and a registered Democrat at one point. He is establishment who decided he could trick the Republicans (like Chewbacca).

what exactly does that mean? there's no detail outlining what specific executive actions that trump would pass to threaten the elite gravy train or the neocon world order.

furthermore, what executive orders did trump pass during his first term that did so?

Tariffs within relevant industries piss of the globalists.

Less immigration piss off the banks.

Lowering prescription drug prices and cutting out middle men in that process piss off big pharma.

Less war piss off the MIC.

so by that logic, does biden lowering prescription drug prices and pulling put of afghanistan make him antiestablishment?

is the "deporter in chief", barack obama anti-est as well?

now don't get me wrong - trump has done some things that are unorthodox (which i mentioned and gave him credit for in my previous post) but in the end, his term from a policy perspective was more or less bush 2.0 without the shitty economy and extreme warmongering.

let me tell you something zen (and you already know this) - as long as the big shots get their tax cuts, they're happy. trump doesn't threaten the dc gravy train. he doesn't threaten the neocon world order - you can't in any seriousness read off the checklist i made in my previous post and say trump was " less war".

someone like ron paul threatens the foriegn policy establishment. someone like bernie threatens the dc gravy train. these are antiestablishment figures. i'm sorry but trump ain't it.

Vintage warriorfan. When get nothing to contribute, shit talk.

I think that many of the things on your list are a lot more nuanced when taking the overton window into consideration and sentiment among voters.
Biden lowering prices on some drugs right up before the election looks good and I'm sure pharma would prefer otherwise, but most schemes don't last forever and you have to take and give. Drugs and vaccines are implemented into the general health program than ever before.

Same as Trump had to publically push vaccines and provide governemt relief during covid, Biden had to pull out of Afghanistan. The window where the criteria for support around war and nation building in the middle east was closed, Trump had already initiated the pull out and Biden had already moved on to Ukraine for the next MIC gravy train.

Trump advocated for a controlled pull out throughout his presidency and was met with pushback through the media for the duration. First they said he was wrong, then that he was flip flopping.

And regaring your point about drone strikes, the previous admins before Trump was just a whole other level of war and deception and included many bombs dropped by allies. E.g they used to say in Syria that we were fighting both Syrian army and ISIS, while the ISIS was fighting the Syrian army at the same time. It sounded strange, but we bought it because Obama said it was true and we love Obama. Then Juilan Assange blew the lid on the whole thing and Snowden blew the lid on them spying on the American public, governments and journalists in Europe. It turned out the Obama admin was actually funding ISIS and not really fighting them at all. It's why ISIS was this mythical force that just grew and grew until Trump was and wiped them out as a direct military force.


is the "deporter in chief", barack obama anti-est as well?

Deporter in chief Obama is a monikor from leftists immigration advocacy groyps which helped shift the overton window of what is and what isn't
considered a lot of deportations, Clinton deported 2.5x the number of illegals Obama did but isn't known for it at all because back then there wasn't this focus on letting in illegals through the border. Go look at the numbers, you'll see that the number of illegals allowed to stay rose heavily as soon as Obama was re-elected.


now don't get me wrong - trump has done some things that are unorthodox (which i mentioned and gave him credit for in my previous post) but in the end, his term from a policy perspective was more or less bush 2.0 without the shitty economy and extreme warmongering.

While I don't like it, the reality is that these are huge coorporations that most other countries would love to house if given the opportunity and because of that they hold a lot of leverage. I'll give you an example: McDonals in Denmark pay out a living wage for 38 hours of work per week and employees don't need food stamps or similar, great. You're welcome to look up the numbers, if you do, you'll find that in 40+ years of operating there McD have paid close to no coorporate tax. Instead they function on a scheme where they operate on a loan with interest from the US HQ and the profit is siphoned to the US.

Right now the biggest problem is nearshoring, offshoring and out of control government spending, it's more sensible to solve that first.

I'm fine with guys like Bush and Cheney openly supporting Harris and Mitch the rhino getitng booed at the RNC. Musk is all in and he's a good hearted dude who cares about humanity, same with RFK.
