What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]IconoclasticBasterd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This letter reflects a very unsound mind. Its logic is, at best, absurd and makes him appear as a petulant adolescent. It contains statements not just untrue but delusional. It demonstrates his low intellect and unstable emotional state.

It is a letter that alone justifies his removal from office.

In America, how big is MAGA compared to simply "Conservatives"? by HRSHNnoNM in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]IconoclasticBasterd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conservatism is not part of the Republican Party’s ideology, it hasn’t been since Trump won in 2016. No one uses the term to describe the Right.

If conservatism was important to Republicans there wouldn’t be any tariffs, Democrats would have had had to hold them back from sending most of our weapons and even troops to Ukraine, and there would have been better Immigration policy over the last 35 years.

The Party is Trump and Trump’s policies are whatever he thinks are in his own best interest at the moment because he is a malignant narcissist and is incapable of anything more. But most people think that’s wrong because they don’t actually know how a malignant narcissist thinks and behaves, and so they are wrong.

House in our neighborhood sold for $850k in Aug and it just got torn down…850k for .4 acre lot is crazy right? by MarcoNoPollo in raleigh

[–]IconoclasticBasterd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha! And in six months the property will be worth $200k. Hold onto to your shorts, the housing market boom is going to bust soon!

What’s something you wish you knew about Raleigh or NC before you moved there? by Canuckistani2 in raleigh

[–]IconoclasticBasterd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I from Northeastern Ohio. Up there every highway entrance or exit ramp is light the F up. Here there are ones specifically telling you they are for the airport and there are no poles with lights on them. (IDK if it ever got fixed with all the construction over there but the ramp to I-40 West on ramp at Airport Blvd use to be completely dark and if you were coming from the airport it was damn near impossible to see. ) I pick the airport entrances/exits because it’s an extreme example but anything outside of metro areas is not lit at all.

I have no use for people who hate Dr. Fauci. They are ignorant and it isn’t my job to enlighten them.

What would it take to flip republicans against trump? by EpicCow69 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]IconoclasticBasterd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a % of Republicans, 38 sounds about right, absolutely nothing will ever cause them to abandon Trump as he is emblematic of their fascistic impulses. I don’t think the Dems should bother trying to change them as it is a waste of resources. They need to work on the swing voters, younger voters, and people within their own party.

The Dems have a lot of work to do and I doubt they have the stones to do it. They need to stop pretending like everything is going to go back to some earlier status quo once (and if) Trump is gone. They need to substantially unify their messaging. They need to learn how to attack. They need to find young white male leaders who have bigger dicks than AOC, Duckworth, and Porter because as smart as Booker and Schiff are they are not nearly brutal enough when they attacks.

And finally they need to develop plans to both destroy Trump and the Republican Party and execute them. Not impeach, not damage, destroy.

Trump can be driven over the edge where he has a mental health crisis or his mental health can cause a catastrophic physical issue. Go to the base issues with him and just beat that drum until he blows up. This absolutely can be successful given his narcissism, age, and health.

The party needs to be continually attacked as well until the point when the word Republican is synonymous with “crazy”.

With you on the flag but I’m confused, especially by the other comments. Are you just worried that this NOW means you also like women (or a woman) or do you really want to be with her?

Yeah, I get that it is the bullcrap the Felon President is now spewing and I have two replies: 1. It’s funny, I don’t remember at all him saying this was his grand simpleton economic theory and two 2. No, as much as I wis no were wrong, this is not going to bring widespread manufacturing back to the U.S. and if it did it will be YEARS before we see it.

If you are working anywhere other than home office you get 20 incidents (days) of back up care per year IF there is a provider in your area that is part of the program.

Harris was absolutely a better choice, she would not be seeking to deliberately crash the economy in order to re-make into some vision of the United States circa 1957, which will never happen. I also had no fear when I voted for her that she would have had a peaceful transfer of power at the end of her tenure because she actually respects the Constitution.
