Spin Zone / Re: More Ukraine Clusterfuck
« on: April 19, 2024, 02:29:56 PM »
China and Russia appear to be the only powers on the planet that pose any credible military threat to the US. The southern border presents a lower priority threat.

Totally disagree!  The hot war threat from China and Russia is dormant. They aren’t actively invading us. And their nuclear capabilities, along with ours, make them a theoretical future threat more than an immediate actual one because of mutual assured destruction. Yes it could happen but odds that it will on any one day are very low.

The invasion on the southern border on the other hand is currently active, it’s already happening and there are known terrorists and criminals among them entering the country that have no such restraints as MAD.  The likelihood that they are planning a set of multiple 9/11s is very high.

  "Military aged" is a meaningless scare phrase.   That cadre has been entering the US for work since the Mexican Revolution.

Not by the millions. Not even close!  And historically they’ve all been Mexicans. Hard working Catholics for the most part. Now they are from all over the world including radical Muslims and Chinese on an unknown mission. Erosion of our culture including our form of government can very easily happen from within with this massive invasion.  This is a much bigger immediate threat than missiles from Russia or China.

I am for immigration. We need young men. But we must vet them and they must come legally.

A freshman college instructor reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!'
A smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?'
The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'

why?

Just watch the first ten seconds.  I don’t know what the rest is yet but the first statement hits the biggest, worst problem we have. The one thing that will irreversibly change our country.

RDS

He would be good but he does not have what Trump has. 

1. The drive, whether it's narcissistic self-aggrandizement or something else, to risk everything (prison, wealth, life even) for his cause.  I don't see DeSantis withstanding that level of persecution; I feel like he'd cave to the establishment.  He has a more normal sense of self-preservation.

2. The ability to get the message to the people that his cause is the people. Trump's cause is not ideology, it's us. The feeling from DeSantis is that his cause is conservatism. Nothing wrong with that, it's better than leftism, but it is still a remote abstract rather than down in the trenches with us.

3. The foreign business experience in different cultures which is part of why Trump kept us out of war. The other part is the very thing he's criticized for: He's so crazy he'll pop off WW3, which is the very thing that prevents it. Putin was unsure if Trump would bomb Moscow like he threatened if he invaded Ukraine, so he didn't do it.  DeSantis might do fine in foreign affairs but right now it is a total unknown, and he lacks the "crazy" aspect that is part of Trump's arsenal.

4. Billions of dollars. DeSantis is not wealthy enough to be immune from monetary bribery or threats.

DeSantis would be fine in a normal world as would many others, but right now we don't have a normal world, we have an immediate threat of an irreversible oligarchical hardening that puts the elite first and the regular citizen last. We need more than a good leader, we need a unique warrior for this. Trump is RARE.  We're not gonna get another one in our lifetime.

Pessimistic today, are we? However, this is the most likely scenario, unfortunately.

When the grid goes down, and my neighbors can't charge their Teslas, nor buy gasoline to fuel their second and third gas powered cars, then maybe they will put up a sign on their lawn with a message other than hate has no home here.   ::)
 

Best case scenario Trump occupies the WH for 4 more years, things begin to improve a bit, THEN we continue the downward slide. I don’t see the rise of another Trump in time to save us. You don’t get one like that but every thousand years or so.

The media suppresses any reporting of outrage.  And public outrage is physically discouraged.  It's out there... all bottled up and ready to explode.

It won’t explode. Nothing will happen until people are starving. The most they’ll do is vote for Trump in a massive red wave but that will be overcome with Dem cheating.  We’ll get Biden, then we’ll get Harris when Joe has a stroke, unless they hide it and let Jill pretend to run things behind the scenes.  In the meantime they’ll ramp up the mass surveillance and head off any possibility of revolt just like China does and we will be permanently a totalitarian state with our “Liberty and Justice for All” just a sick joke but kept as slogan for the tyrants to rub in our faces.

And it's reported as "the senate dismisses all charges" like it's unanimous or something.  Actually 51 / 49.  If only the Republicans could stand together like the FdP.

Amazing.  I instantly knew what FdP was on barely one cup of coffee.

"Muslim immigrants are openly calling for "Death to America" IN OUR OWN CITIES.  The regime is openly allowing this,"

It has been my understanding of English that the pronoun "this" refers to something appearing earlier in the text, not later (unless followed by a colon.) And the placement of the comma indicated the completion of the sub-thought. Over the years you have demonstrated, to me at least, that you can articulate your positions very well with little or no ambiguity. I found it striking that you would write something suggesting suppression of free speech, hence the pointed question.
Thank you for the correction.

Maybe it would have been more clear if I'd said, the regime is openly enabling this by 1) Not securing the border and indeed encouraging illegals to come on in, and 2) Ignoring the "Death to America" protests. They are tacitly approving it by doing nothing.  As opposed to making statements about how MAGA voters are the worst threat to the country in existence. What kind of message does that send to our enemies?

Number 1 is also a growing concern.  Why are protesters allowed to block roads?  Like roads into ORD or JFK?  Or across bridges?  Or elsewhere?  The police stand by and do nothing.  Except maybe arrest motorists who have had enough and try to remove the protesters.  Sure, go ahead and protest.  That's your right.  But don't mess with people trying to get on with their lives.  And costing those people money (missing their flights) or their livelihood (being late for or missing work entirely).  I say get a line of front-loaders and peacefully move the protesters out of the way.

That is false imprisonment which is a crime. These scum need to be imprisoned, or just run down by the victims being held against their will.  It's not a matter of missing your flight or being late to work. It can be deadly. Ambulances, or regular people driving to the doctor with a sick kid, anyone needing to get somewhere urgently. It is very serious to block roads, it should be a felony to do so.  You are falsely imprisoning many people all at once.

Does this mean you want authorities to take legal action or use force against people shouting "Death to America"?

There is a fine line between First Amendment free speech and a credible threat. Credible threats are not protected.  Protesting non-violently shouting "Death to America" is protected free speech.  They should be allowed to do so because this outs them.  If you ban speech, it goes underground, it doesn't stop people from their beliefs.  Allowing them to express themselves identifies your enemies.

But when they cross the line into a credible threat then yes, force should be used.  First of all, if these are illegals, force should be used to deport them PERIOD no matter if they're shouting in the streets or not.  But many of these are legally in the U.S. on work VISAs or are actual citizens.  So now, you need to determine if shouting "Death to America" is incitement to violence and hence a credible threat.

President Trump said the following on January 6:

Quote
Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!

I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!

These statements were considered incitement to violence and insurrection.  If we do not likewise treat mobs shouting "Death to America" in multiple cities across the nation as a much worse incitement to violence then we have everything upside down and backwards. 

We have everything upside down and backwards.  I'm not going to give these enemies within our borders much slack.  Yes, use force if:

1. They block traffic or otherwise impede people from moving freely
2. They do any kind of damage to property or physically assault anyone
3. They grow in enough numbers to be a credible threat

Number 3 is the concern. Look what's happening to European countries. It's a credible threat when it reaches enough numbers.  We do not want to wait til it gets that bad here.

I don't think that's what was meant.  I think it means that we should not be encouraging illegal aliens to enter the country.

Thank you, yes, that is what I meant.

  The UniParty wants FISA since it's become a valuable tool for them, and it circumvents the constitution.

  The UniParty is dismantling the constitution right in front of us while telling how this is for our own good.  The regime openly defies the constitution.   And congress is all to happy to sit back and watch.

  The storm is on the horizon.  I hope everyone is preparing for what is coming.

Muslim immigrants are openly calling for "Death to America" IN OUR OWN CITIES.  The regime is openly allowing this, and openly encouraging more illegals to enter the country and join with these anti-American enemies.  It's like they are deliberately destroying our way of life, our constitutional republic, our culture, everything.
