US political crisis

Nature and food.
The name of the channel also is nice. =)




Edit: Got a bit curious.

"The term "bangers" is attributed (in common usage in the UK) to the fact that sausages made during World War I, when there were meat shortages, were made with such a high water content that they were more liable to pop under high heat when cooked.

I mean, i guess thats true, but is her defense really going to be "it was so obvious i was just talking shit i dont think i should be sued for it"

Moreover there's hundreds, if not thousands, of people that might go to jail over what these clowns have caused: the attack on the Capitol on Jan 6.

I hear Pfizer is developing a new vaccine to combat TDS.

 

[Kroffe]

That should be going down naturally now when he no longer can brainwash his cult via twitter .right?


Even tho its a pretty funny made up thing, its not exactly something original.
Were probably versions used before Bush aswell.

 

[geordiecolin]

Release the Kraken... oh wait.

Only that is simply not true and the media that you get your information from know it and share it because they know the gullible will not do their homework.
She simply has not said she made it up or tried to deceive. If you actually read what it says it is just part of legal argument. Read page 27/top of 28.

Except there is talk of him setting up his own site that will rival Twitter etc. That will create panic

Im not so sure why it would?

Regarding the above, shes linking the full doc in the tweet.
Part of her defense is literally "no reasonable person would conclude the statements were truly statements of fact"

So what part of the tweet is not true?
Even if its only a part of her defense, a part of her defense is more or less "only idiots would believe this"
Its not the whole defense, which would be somewhat hard to fit in a tweet, but i dont see anything about her tweet that is not true.

 

[Kroffe]

What you bring up is even brought up in the same tweet-chain or whatever its called.
"i cant be blamed for saying what i said" and also "i still believe what i said"
=)

Seems like a wonky defense saying "no reasonable person would believe the statements ive made" only to go on to say "i still believe the statements i made"

Ok then.
Maybe its a sound legal argument, but it sounds weird.
I dont think she is going to get away with pretending her saying on tv there WAS fraud, and dominion HAS ties etc etc was just legal theories and opinions.
Because they were not presented as such.

 

[Kroffe]

Political memes could use its own thread.
Im sure Biden will supply alot of material over the next 4 years.
Tho i guess he will only be fit/coherent enough to be the president for another 1-2 years or months

Also, #Stairforceone is a great hashtag.

It is deceptive because it is a legal argument and statement designed to further her case and not an admission of guilt.Legal maneuvering.

She is trying to get Dominion to demand discovery in order her her to access the information that she requires in return?

"Such characterizations of the allegedly defamatory statements further support Defendants' position that reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact but view them only as claims that await testing by the courts through the adversary process."

"Furthermore, Sidney Powell disclosed the facts upon which her conclusions were based," the document noted.

I would not make assumptions on her credibility just yet. Not until the case is concluded. Its too early to called her Backtrackin Kracken unless she states it publicly.

Will that be public record later?
Would be interesting to see what she based her statements on.
Because she went pretty hard at it, hard enough to scare away Giuliani and the rest of the team.

Imo if she is to have any chance in the case, she will have to provide some solid proof to explain why she made the statements that she did.

Edit: But if she had something like that, would she really be in the position she is in now?

Why would she set out her case in the doc if she was holding her hands up to lying about her case? Those she is accusing would win the case and she would be utterly ruined in so many ways. Probably even jailed.

The atterney generals in all key states allowed changes to the voting process which where unconstitutional as far as the argument goes. She has not been allowed access to various evidence and these I suspect is what she is trying to gain access too. Without being able too I suspect she is fecked.

I just think that there is top flight legal stuff going on and I am no legal wiz

 

[geordiecolin]

The boarder crossing. Does anyone support Biden's policy on this?

 

[Kroffe]

Cant claim to really have looked into his border policy.

If i had to guess id say probably not.
Biden is too right leaning for me on most policies.
Ill look at it, but not right now (if anyone else is curious

Bernie is probably the only politician i would consider voting for.
Hes always been fighting for the same things, and most of them seem to be focused on making life better for the lower/middle class.
Socialized healtcare, raising minimum wage, tax the rix etc.

Easily the most consistent politican in Usa at the moment, possibly forever, and the kind that would be needed to bring on any meaningful change.
Shame he never got a shot at the Presidency, and now hes too old imo.
Wasted opportunity.

Sidenote: They really need to put term-limits into place imo-
Not healthy to have the same people cling to power for too long, no matter what side they are on the politial spectrum.
Even if they had ideals when starting out, after x years of being lobbied by corporations, theres probably not much left of it.

Stealing Macks quote, but he also stole it, so its ok.
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

[Kroffe]

Like i said, i dont agree with Biden on most of his policies.
And video above shows why.

If you think about it, these "radical ideas" that Bernie are suggesting, like a form of socialized healthcare, a minimum wage people can actually live on without having to have 3 jobs etc etc are all just things that alot of non third world countries already have, and have had for a long time. So its not some new experimental thing.
But in Usa its being portrayed as communism, so obviously people wont go for it.
Usa is supposedly the richest country in the world, i bet if we remove the top 1% from every country, it would be among the poorest.
There is more than enough money to go around in Usa, its all just being concentrated at a tiny tiny part of the population.

David Cross does a good job explaning why the current system is not great.
Beware, clickbait video title.

"Not great"

 

[Kroffe]

"Not great"

Might have been the understatement of the year.
=)

I mean theres clearly enough money to get stuff done, but imo its being spent wrong.

Ive seen people complaning about the "idiotic" mars rover.
Omg 2.5 billion, that could have been used to help people here instead waah..

Meanwhile, the 721 billion military budget (for 2020 alone):


But yeah, keep being angry at the dumb space people for wasting your money.
Forget about the rich not paying taxes, corporations avoiding taxes etc etc.
Blame the guy who wants to increase minimum wage instead, after all being poor is just the first chapter of the American dream, im sure you will soon reach the being rich part of it.

“John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”​

yes, it would be pretty hard to sell wealth redistribution to the population here.

 

[Kroffe]

yes, it would be pretty hard to sell wealth redistribution to the population here.

Just making the rich & corporations actually pay taxes would go a long way.
Too many loopholes currently.
But it would mean an almost complete remake of the current tax system, and with all the money politicians are getting from corporations its hard to see something like that ever happening.

Saw an article about Zoom, which made a great deal of money last year, alot thanks to the lockdowns/pandemic.
Money back to the people? Nope, stock options to executives.
And its not like they are doing anything illegal, they are just using the system to their advantage.

"But the company paid $0 in federal income taxes on those profits, it disclosed Friday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, even though the corporate tax rate was 21% for 2020. A Zoom spokesperson told Insider in a statement the company "complies with all applicable tax laws" in countries where it does business and that it "has invested heavily in research and development activities to build and enhance its communications technology - development activity that is specifically encouraged under current law."

"But research and development credits accounted for just 1% of Zoom's tax bill reductions, while around 99% of its savings were a result of paying executives $302.4 million in stock-based compensation, compared to $32.1 million the year before."


The below image is just a joke, but i dont think it would be such a bad thing knowing who owns the politicians.

Makes me laugh though that it was the US and international corporations that helped china build up it's wealth, reach and power in the first place by relocating all their production plants there. China wants to dominate it's region, but you never know they might have long term global aspirations as well to become the numero uno power.

What's the US going to do, or whether it will be able to function well, when the population is nearly 400 million. The gated communities and private security will come in handy then.

I thought the 80's were a bit worry inducing with the fear a nuclear war could kick off at any minute, but we are now enterering uncharted waters with these new tensions and power struggles, also with declining world resources yet an increasing population. [An extra 83 million people per year currently]

I always wanted to be around to see the exciting future but I'm not so sure that will be as enjoyable or better as I once thought.
