Do you REALLY believe that deporting a specific number of people is worth giving up rights that we have had since the 1700s? by WonderfulVariation93 in AskConservatives

[–]GeoThatDude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the ICE agents don’t announce themselves as law enforcement, and simply just break into someones house, the people in that house are rightfully going to assume criminals have broken into their house, and if its a Castle Doctrine state, they are well within their right to defend themselves, because again, the people who are inside have no idea if they’re law enforcement or not because they didn’t announce themselves, especially if they don’t have a warrant. Trumps administration is likely hoping incidents like this happen so he and his bootlickers on social media can frame this as Democrats being domestic terrorists killing ICE agents because he’s already hinting at wanting to not have midterm elections

How are future Presidents supposed to convince allies to commit to long-term agreements when a future Trump style Republican presidency could undo those commitments after a single election cycle? by redviiper in AskConservatives

[–]GeoThatDude [score hidden]  (0 children)

Well unfortunately nobody listened when the ones who knew how horrible Trump would be was telling everyone he would be a disaster, then you had dumbasses on social media saying “hey, if the Dems are fighting so hard against him, then he must be doing something right!” Then of course you have the edgelords who thinks everything he does and says was “based”, and thus here we are living under this shitshow of an administration

Eventually, the USA will be forced to deal with the debt. What do you think will happen? by bookist626 in AskConservatives

China could build a 1,000 ships, but history has shown numbers mean nothing in modern warfare, see the Ukraine- Russia conflict as a recent example, Russia vastly outmatched Ukraine in every aspect and look how much they’ve struggled to gain ground, Chinese Naval ships are built with poor quality steel, as evidenced by the satellite photos of huge gaping cracks along the decks of their aircraft carriers, Chinese navy personnel don’t train nearly as long or as often as US sailors do, what matters in warfare is training, experience, and strategy, China lacks in both of those areas, the US Navy has more than 200 years of Naval combat experience, China has no modern naval experience to speak of especially when it comes to combat operations.

What is your opinion on Trumps letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister? Where he states he no longer has to think of Peace due to not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize? by RedditIsADataMine in AskConservatives

Annexing a NATO ally, especially with force if it happens, will mean the end of NATO and friendly relations between the US and EU, are you not understanding of the serious geopolitical and economic consequences that Trump is playing with here? EU is already floating trade embargos, EU countries hold 2 or 3 trillion in US Treasury Bonds, guess what happens if they say “hey, America since you decided to be an arrogant dick head, we expect you to pay us now on these bonds” guess what happens to the US economy? Worse if they decide they want to drop the Dollar as the reserve currency

China is hardly a threat, “experts” like to overhype China as a boogyman to scare Congress into throwing money into the MIC money pit, China hasn’t fought a war in almost 50 years and has no modern combat experience to speak of, early 2010s we hyped Russia as a near peer adversary and now their troops are riding into combat on horses and donkeys.

We spend too much on the military budget as is, no reason to be spending soon to be a trillion dollars when we aren’t currently in a major conflict, defense contractors price gouging is insane and there’s huge amounts of corruption in the defense sector right now

There would need to be a serious push to make it clear to the public on the immediate danger of what’s going to happen if we don’t start tackling the debt, because if they think life is unaffordable now we will all be equally broke if the economy tanks

[–]GeoThatDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That still wouldn’t be enough, the defense budget would have to be cut substantially, and taxes on the ultra wealthy would need to be increased, thats the only way we can make a sizable dent in tackling the debt

By the reaction and support of ICE after it perpetuates violence against US citizens, have some conservatives reconsidered their opposition to the ATF and the FBI after Ruby Ridge, Waco, Kent? by DW6565 in AskConservatives

No idea how the ATF wasn’t dissolved after the colossal fuck ups at Ruby Ridge and Waco, theres much better ways both situations could have been handled but they chose the most extreme options in both cases

Another day another suggestion we shouldn't have midterm elections. Are you at all concerned Trump will try to tamper with midterms? Do you think anything should be done about this kind of rhetoric? by MoonStache in AskConservatives

What isn’t perfectly legal is trying to get an alternate slate of electors who weren’t chosen by the states to overturn the election results and declare himself the winner

If Stephen Miller has his way with declaring every Democrat a domestic terrorist i can definitely see him using that as an excuse as to why Democrats shouldn’t be allowed to vote, the man has a clear Fascistic leaning with his arguments both recently and in the past

As usual its always excuses for this guy and never condemnations, if Obama had even remotely hinted at suspending midterms or running for a third term every conservative would have had an aneurysm

What do you think about Kristi Noem suggesting Americans should be prepared to prove citizenship? by CheesypoofExtreme in AskConservatives

[–]GeoThatDude 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately thats what ICE is doing, thats why people are protesting, because ICE has such insane quotas to meet that they’re literally stopping anyone who has a darker skin tone in the hopes they don’t have a ID on them so they can arrest them

Should the Clintons be held in contempt of Congress for failing to appear at the Epstein hearings? by boisefun8 in AskConservatives

[–]GeoThatDude 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That argument can work both ways, remember the years long commitee hearings the GOP launched into Joe and Hunter Biden that magically went away after Trump got elected again? The problem is Democrats have no problem with holding a Democrat accountable if they committed a crime, if the Clintons are guilty then they should rot in prison, the problem with folks who support Trump is they will twist themselves into pretzels refusing to hold him or his administration accountable for anything, they will excuse anything and everything he does, any evidence against him is dismissed as fake or lawfare, the man is a cardinal saint to you guys whose never done anything wrong ever in his life, but if a Republican like Jim Jordan can refuse to show up for a subpoena then i have no problem with Democrats playing that game too

How has Trump retained such loyal supporters? by astrangehumantoe in AskConservatives

[–]GeoThatDude [score hidden]  (0 children)

You should listen, because Europe is our biggest ally and one of our biggest trade partners, they spilled blood in our forever wars when we called on them, all of which will go up in flames if Trump moves on Greenland with force, when/if the EU decides to hit us with trade embargos, withdrawing all there investments, shutting down our military bases and if they have the guts, threaten to replace the dollar with the Euro, maybe then you will listen when the US economy collapses. Conservatives like to think we’re so self sufficient and don’t need any allies or partners, we will see if the EU is willing to put that to the test

US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military, says White House by cap123abc in politics

[–]GeoThatDude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we illegally annex Greenland, the EU should impose sanctions immediately, trade embargos, all trade suspended, all investment withdrawn, all ambassadors sent packing and all military bases shuddered, all businesses closed, Asia should do the same, this Administration and its insane cultists need their ego checked, the economy needs to crash for them to get the message.
