Post election prediction

On the Epstien thing - yeah, Trump's in the files. You'd have to be deep in the cult not to believe that an adjudicated sex offender who bragged about grabbing women by the vagina and invading miss teen pageant dressing rooms, was described by Epstein as his best friend, acknowledged that Epstein liked 'em young, wished Guillain Maxwell well and is now floating a pardon for her isn't in it up to his neck.

I think the interesting thing will be see how the more fanatical MAGA crowd will react if evidence does prove Trumps involvement. Will they denounce him, claim it is a cover up / fake news / Obama did it all while wearing a Trump mask just like Tom Cruise in the MI films / or somehow attempt to justify that *certain ages* are acceptable for underage sex. Would certainly be interesting to see if anyone who is a supporter actually changes their mind and denounces him if proof was presented.

[dilettante]

Wow. I guess they do make Extra-Strength Copium! Hanging your hopes on Epstein isn't going anywhere.

Meanwhile Trump scores win, after win, after win. Not for himself, but for Americans. He is now arguably the most popular person on the planet.

The Femicrats are left with an ever-dwindling level of support and trust. The only thing they have left is a gaggle of nutty and corrupt America-hating Marxists and Islamists and a very few vestigial fringe types from the old guard like Newsome. Their support is nearly down to a cadre of old dried up biddies and fellow-traveler anarchists, probably funded by the CCP.

The administration produced precisely one photo which had clearly been photoshopped:-

Attachment 195209

I mean... I'm surprised they didn't use a sharpie. Of course, If they hadn't ignored due process we might be able to examine evidence further - but they did remove that.

That was a rush job. The idiot who altered that image didn't use Photoshop, but Microsoft Word! When I open Microsoft Word 2010, it's default starting font is always set to Calbri, which this idiot used to fake the tattooed letters. It's a Microsoft computer font no tattoo artist would ever use. The idiot then typed out the text with that font on a single line, spacing the letters simply with the spacebar. For each letter selected independent of the others letters, set it's vertical position by pressing Ctrl-D for the Font pop-up, clicked it's Advance Tab, set Lowered and Raised in the Position dropdown, and set the By value (e.g., 1 pt, 2 pt, up to whatever pt). Also adjusted the letters opacity a bit. I'm not sure how this idiot saved the image from Microsoft Word, but he definitely used it. After creating it, they probably paid an amature Photoshop artist to touch it up, which was poorly done.

Below is the proof, in Microsoft Word 2010, using it's default Calibri font, I typed the letters on one line, simply spacing them apart with the spacebar:



I then positioned the whole line of text to be inline with the letter M in the image, then selected the other letters individually, and adjusted their vertical positions:



The last image I highlighted the text just to prove it's a single line of text:



The ink tattoo artists use is not truly black, and they all look the same, which is another clue that those tattooed letters are fake.

Absolutely delusional, your inability to believe anything about Trump that isn't spouted by Trump himself is utter cult like mentality. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...rm/ar-AA1Jrq7h is that honestly the approval rating of the most popular person on the planet?

Win after win? He is panicking over being associated with a paedophile and sex offender, is refusing to reveal information the sign of an honest man with nothing to hide? He is trashing your medicaid, adding £2 - 3 trillion to your deficit, your cost of living is increasing, there are constant flip-flops on tariffs (I am sure the tariffs on the island inhabited by penguins made everyone's life better), he is allowing ICE to bypass any due process and round up and deport to concentration camps anyone they feel like, and he is making USA an joke on the world stage.

The fact you resort to such pathetically childish terms as "femicrat" speaks volumes about you and your already proven hatred of women.

But hey, tax cuts for billionaires, cane sugar in coke, and possibly a pardon for a convicted sex trafficer - he is winning on the things that matter to the average American.

I think you got your answer

[wes4dbt]

That's why I'd prefer to see those who followed the rules and were "good guests" prioritized to receive citizenship after they're deported. But as wes4dbt already pointed out, Trump is not likely to do that.

What happens when you deport them? What do you imagine will happen when they arrive back in their country, where they have no home, no job and no support system? These are not wealthy people. You don't seem to have a problem with them becoming citizens so why take away everything they have built here just because our system failed them? Why not allow them to stay and give them a path to permanent residence. If they don't take that path, then that's a different conversation.

From your previous posts I've never noticed you were a strict "be cause it's the law" person.

I agree. I don't get the impression DD's position is driven by any form of malice (he's the Mr Nice Guy of the mods ) so I'm guessing it's more driven by a principled stance. I shouldn't make assumptions though.

To me the question comes to, why bother deporting them only to bring them back? Setting aside the impact on their life, just consider the cost associated. Deporting someone costs a fortune. Why not process their claim promptly while they're in the country and then only deport them if that's the adjudicated outcome?

[wes4dbt]

Except for people that share his beliefs who doesn't he hate? His posts are consistently full of name calling and various other angry hateful comments.

I don't know about that. You must need to borrow money.

We'll see...as my grandmother used say, "Something smells to high heavens!"

[dilettante]

Oh yeah, now it's "hatred of women" and "everyone else." Such nonsense.

Let your hatred go. All you have to lose are your chains. Things are really nice out here in the sunshine. How hard can it be to swallow that partisan pride and rejoin society? Come over to the right side of history.

Perhaps I have misunderstood the affection and support you really intended when you used phrases like "dried up old hags", or "crying into their pearls" when describing women being upset that a sex offender is now in charge of their reproductive rights, or don't forget your claim that women choosing to have sex on their own terms is no different to sexual assault. I guess you really do love and respect females....

Don't forget the racist posts you have had removed as well, is that another example of your support for people of colour?

How about your opinion of a 2 year old cancer sufferer deserving to be deported without access to life saving medicine?

[PlausiblyDamp]

Wow. I guess they do make Extra-Strength Copium! Hanging your hopes on Epstein isn't going anywhere.

A direct question for you then, if there was evidence that Trump was found to be having sex with under age girls - would you still support him, or would you condemn his actions?

[dilettante]

When the hell did that ever happen? Quite an accusation there.

Howa does anyone (but a moderator?) "have posts removed" here anyway?

[dilettante]

I guess you just can't avoid making everything personal. How the hell did you ever get to be a moderator here?


And of course I'd condemn such actions. I resent the very tone of your question. When the story comes out though, you might find the shoe on the other foot. Need I mention your twisted fruit Prince Andrew? You can bet that UK names will dominate the lists of child abusers when those finally come out.


This site desperately needs an ombudsman. Several of you should have moderator status stripped and probably be banned. Such blatant, hateful bigotry and personal attacks need to be strenuously corrected.

As if the calls for assassination made here and cheers for the attempts were not cause enough.

How sick in your soul. It is hard to believe such people can function outside an asylum for the dangerously ill.

[dilettante]

In case you haven't caught on, calling people "racist" has no impact any more. You and your ilk have rendered it entirely meaningless and the sign of a very small mind.

[wes4dbt]

I'd say your previous response proves that's not true. It provoked an unhinged flailing response from you.

It was a simple direct question. Your a Trump supporter and he asked if you would continue to support him. It could have been answered with a simple yes/no or you could have added your reasoning. But instead you add a rant about the UK, which has no relevance.

Then you decide to started accusing people here of things that never happened.

As if the calls for assassination made here and cheers for the attempts were not cause enough.

Never happened here.

Which leads to your normal insulting rhetoric.

I've never thought Dil was racist in any way. I don't agree with him on much, but I'd say he champions the worker, as he sees fit, regardless of race.

To borrow a term you used in a response to a post I made about "Israel in the past". This "as he sees fit" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Not sure that's the exact quote.

[PlausiblyDamp]

I am not a moderator here, never have been. So no idea where that came from....

Really appreciate your honesty in saying you would condemn him, that is all I wanted to know.

Feel free to mention Prince Andrew, I have never one done anything to support him or claim he was anything other than a probable nonce. If UK names are revealed then I would condemn them as well, nationality doesn't excuse that behaviour from anyone.

This site desperately needs an ombudsman. Several of you should have moderator status stripped and probably be banned. Such blatant, hateful bigotry and personal attacks need to be strenuously corrected.

Personally I think the mods here do a decent job, not being a mod though it would be tricky to strip that from me.

Never happened.

[FunkyDexter]

When the hell did that ever happen?

Remember your post about Uncle Tom and Plantations? I didn't remove it but I did threaten to ban you over it.

You may or may not be racist or misogynist but lately you increasingly use racist and misogynist insults. People will draw that conclusion.

[dilettante]

Remember your post about Uncle Tom and Plantations? I didn't remove it but I did threaten to ban you over it.

Your arguments remain entirely specious.

I'm not the one arguing in favor of a servant underclass. And both of those terms have specific historical relevance and meanings in present day citation. Nothing "racist" there whatsoever.

And if the dwindling Democratic Party hardly holds onto anyone but older and bitter white women who hate themselves and the world, I calls 'em as I sees 'em. That's not misogyny. It is far from all women. In fact, significant numbers of normal women have either come to support Trump, take a neutral position, or drop out to wait and see how the winds blow.

So your labels are fairly meaningless, and in any case they do nothing to change the facts - which I presume to be your purpose.

But I suppose when you come from a closed authoritarian society that proscribes speech and jails people for "unwelcome" expression I suppose you can't understand any of that.

I guess I don't care about a ban. It would only prove my case.

[FunkyDexter]

Yes. They do. They aver to history of slavery and the privilege house slaves received by being overly subservient to their master. Applying them to a black man and his place of work was deeply racist, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.

[wes4dbt]

Talk about shooting the messenger. https://apnews.com/article/trump-job...e9bf4f3ec89195

Must be a nightmare to work at a job where Trump has the ability to fire you. Unless your willing to lie for him. He reminds me of the Queen of Hearts. Anything he dislikes, "Off with their head".

Probably a whole lot of people out there pretty nervous about their job security.

[FunkyDexter]

Alongside that, the Smithsonian has removed Trump from the list of impeached presidents.

Reality is no longer relevant.

I hear the China tariffs have been postponed again. I won't deny that part of me wants to crow about Tacos but I think it's actually a good thing. The longer the worst of the tariffs are held off the better.

Hardly a surprise, seems to be one of his go to distraction techniques - announce a tariff, delay tariff, repeat. Anything to try and get Epstein off the front page.

For a country that relies so heavily on imports tariffs are going to be a massive tax on regular Americans, if you had time to build up your manufacturing etc. and not be so reliant on imports then tariffs could be a good thing, but this is just another tax on the population. (or would be if they actually happened)

I don't know that it has anything to do with Epstein, he was doing this nonsense before that came back up again. Besides even if there is something incriminating in the files he would just say it's fake news or a witch hunt and the GOP would cover for him because they are terrified to do anything to anger him. His faithful supports would accept what he said.

I do agree that tariffs are a tax on Americans. So far businesses have done a good job of absorbing the costs by stocking up and actually eating some of the cost but that will end. Then again this could all disappear tomorrow with Trump cancelling the tariffs. I've given up spending any time trying to figure out how this is going to play out. There's some really bad scenarios but there is also just as good a chance that nothing really changes.

[wes4dbt]

Don't get me wrong, I abhor tariffs. I think he has one of the most naive understandings of how tariffs work, especially in the context of the regulatory and tax system we have today.

But it looks like even the markets stopped taking his tariff threats seriously. That and I really think TACO President is a hilarious name, sounds like something he would've came up with like "Little Marco" or "Crooked Hilary".

He sees tariffs as a means into bullying other countries to get what he wants. I doubt the consequences to Americans ever crosses his mind.

The TACO memes are funny but I don't like them. I'm worried he'll get embarrassed by them and wont backtrack. Then we're stuck with these crazy tariffs.

[dilettante]

What consequences? If you have paid any attention whatsoever you'd realize the tariffs have had ZERO impact on prices and inflation. That just isn't a thing. Even car prices have held steady.

The idea that negotiating and tweaking tariffs is somehow waffling is pure derangement talking.

Disinfecting the system of the pernicious globalism that grew like a cancer out of an earnest attempt to bail out other countries post-WW II is certainly going to come with some pain. That along with skyrocketing debt puts the Dollar under great pressure at this time.

However as much as the rest of the world would like to gloat, their own debt woes are far worse even before the welfare paid to them by US workers dries up.

Then you have the growing social problems and high crime around the world stemming directly from woke policies. It is pretty bad when Mexico issues warnings to its people about traveling to the UK. There you can now be held as a vigilante for defending yourself against a crime, at a time when crime is rampant.


If you're that worried about the future maybe you should be burying gold, silver, and bullets in the back yard.

Inflation is more money chasing the same amount of goods, the resulting price increase is a side effect. But I will grant you that when you say "inflation" that you're actually talking about the resulting price increases.

Not sure I understand what your saying. Are you saying, price increases are the result of inflation? It's seems to me price increases results in inflation, inflation couldn't exist without price increases. Or at a minimum they happen at the same time. Sort of a chicken or egg thing.

to me it just looks like a guy throwing crap around and seeing what sticks

Yeah, sort of a shotgun approach. Just keep firing, your bound to hit something. I definitely don't see any real target other than self promotion.
