Board 8 > Politics Containment Topic 349: Rudy Can't Fail

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh wait
---

Whe people are intentionally faking testimony that undermines the entire system and throw's the country into chaos in order to gain personal clout and potentially a Twitter following down the line, I don't thing it's all that bad to set the standard that it's not worth it for the repercussions.

---

Note, Trump has been railing against the governor and SOS of Georgia for a while now, including today, but he's also supposed to do a rally for the two senate runoff races today in Georgia.

This is gonna be a trainwreck.

---

Do we know theyre faking and not just misguided and/or delusional?

I get bringing up a related prosecution being relevant but I just dont like to see these ad hominems

I really hope he tries to explain why people should vote in a state that will steal the election and ties himself in knots

Trump won't win in 2024 if he runs. He'll just get massively anti-voted again. Biden didn't so much win this election as Trump lost it. Just like Trump didn't so much win in 2016 as Hillary Clinton lost. Both cases represent the rejection of an old order.

Is America going to go the way of Japan and Germany post-WWII?

I'm personally of the belief that they are not being genuine for the most part, yes.

And in this particular case, even if she was being genuine, it would be relevant to bring up those charges regardless.

---

BTW do we have any Clash fans in the house?
---

Ad hominem is part of the norm these days unfortunately. It ain't really relevant but it's sex so it'll sell. Either it'll elevate her further, ruin her further, or both.

---

Kemp will officially not be at the Trump rally.

Trump also called him personally this morning to tell him to overturn the election results in GA.

Looks like that breakup is finalized.

Damn, that slogan is gonna hurt Republicans in Minnesota. They should probably disavow the Back the Blue movement.

Lasa, I highly recommend typing "Jimmy Dore Tucker Carlson" into YouTube and enjoying the ride. The guy is his biggest sycophant.

https://youtu.be/unltD5gzd9I

I was initially going to isolate that video for its title alone, but it turns out it's not an outstanding example in any way.

ok, i watched this video and... i don't think it's that problematic? dore is essentially saying that trump bases a lot of his policy on what people he likes and respects are saying. this is true, we've seen plenty of examples of it: tucker, ivanka, kim kardashian. so when tucker manages to say something that's not idiotic for once ("a US conflict with iran would be dumb"), that actually has a positive outcome. yeah, i agree that the title is silly and overly simplistic - there was probably a lot more to this than just "tucker stops war with iran" - but i'm kinda used to youtube video titles being bad so i can't get too mad over this.

i actually think my main issue with what dore is saying is "there's two republican parties." that's also overly simplistic. i get that he wants to make the point that both main parties in the US suck - and they do. but there's still fundamental differences between the repubs and the dems.

also, i don't get wtf he's talking about at the end when he's going "youtube is not banning the new york times channel but WE'RE the dangerous ones!" uh, they're not banning your channel either? don't become one of those "i'm on youtube complaining about how youtube is silencing me" people, dude. that's dumb.

but yeah, overall, i don't think this is a great example of dore being terrible. the "promoting the seth rich conspiracy theory" thing was a lot worse!

Shockingly, the guy whose only help has ever been to let others ride his coattails isn't a very good help after a loss!

Warnock and Loeffler debate is tonight. That should be a trip.

Ossof will also be debating an empty podium tonight because Perdue is in fact sticking to his refusal to debate.

Classic mistake; if he wouldn't have gotten tested, he wouldn't have had the virus! Just like how if they didn't count the votes, Trump would have actually won in a landslide.

Bidens picking CA AG Xavier Becerra for HHS

Guess hes not gonna be Harriss replacement as CA-Sen, then!

---

There are few seats in the entire country more blue than that seat right now, so as far as pure numbers go whoever fills the seat is pretty secure.

---

Oh yeah of course its a safe seat! Im still interested in who Newsoms gonna pick, though.

So I just learned that there were (or still are) violent riots in Paris
And no news media mentions this

What the hell is going on? from the videos people post it doesn't seem like a small matter. Why does no one talk about this?

Whoa dude my bad. I was linking the video for the title alone - should have made it clear I didn't even watch the thing (as a former subscriber I've seen enough Dore to know what I'm getting). If I saw your reply saying you were going to watch it, I'd have let you known not to waste your time since I wasn't even adressing anything about the content itself.

Obviously the content itself is more important than the title so let's get to this

This is Dore's and fellow grifters literal entire shtick. "God doesn't it suck that we have two right wing political parties, but hey let me go after the Dems in 95% of my videos and let the cartoon villain Republicans off the hook because Republicans gonna Republican." When you do this with your content, you create the impression that most evil in the government is coming from the Democratic side, hence why his audience is mostly right-wingers now.

I know Kyle Kulinski is still friends with him, but he's an example of someone whose content is far more balanced and is actually presenting a left perspective rather than a black pilled, "fuck all electoral politics, it's pointless" one that Dore has embraced.

Now if you want me to find some terrible Dore videos, I can do that too! I'd rather not waste my time on him, but I watched his reaction to Colbert on Trump not conceding which I'd argue is one of those terrible ones. Even though I agree with him that much of our politics is merely performative with a system that results in super corporate-friendly politicians "pre-approved" so to speak by said corporations, Dore basically just laughs off literal fascism in that video as a supposed leftist. Not a good look and it was viscerally upsetting to me.

If memory serves me right, there are violent riots in france all of the time so they aren't newsworthy

Kind of like US gun deaths

You say that now, but let me remind you that both Ted Kennedy's seat and Barack Obama's seat went to Republicans the first time they were up for election after those holders left them.

i get your frustration about this. it reminds me of how during the campaign of the '16 election, muffin would exclusively bash hillary, never trump. and many times he would even passionately DEFEND trump. but the reason why i found that far more annoying is because muffin, in spite of being a "libertarian," obviously still had a mindless, blind love for the republicans. and therefore trump could do wrong just because he had an R beside his name. "trump constantly shits all over the core libertarian principles? i don't give a shit because he's still TEAM BLUE!" i might be wrong but i think dore is actually legitimately bitter and frustrated about the democrats and that's why he goes after them so hard.

that being said, dore shouldn't just bash the DNC when trump is actively doing harm to the US, obviously.

---

Oh, I 100% think Dore is more genuine than not, which just makes him even more of a political lightweight and a complete rube on actual policy discussion. You can still be mostly genuine and an opportunistic grifter, seizing on the anti-establishment sentiment in the country. I think Tulsi and Krystal Ball are more genuine than not too, but they're still hella grifting.

The funny thing is the Trumpian right-wingers who like Tulsi would immediately flip on her if she ever somehow became a Democratic presidential nominee once conservative media starts villifying her, instead of using her as a useful idiot. The grift isn't that strong over their new right followers!

After this showing, I am legitimately not willing to say under oath that Kelly Loeffler is a human being. I think someone needs to run a magnet over her forehead and see what happens.

Loeffler sounds like shes reading the ingredients off the side of a shampoo bottle.

Also for some reason in those clips Warnock looks like a baby in costume as an adult. Thats one of the most baby faces Ive ever seen. Ive seen him a lot before so I dunno why its sticking out to me now.

Now you've got me picturing her in one of those commercials. Was it Herbal Essence that did the faux orgasm commercials?
