Trump Presidency Round 2

[Giddyup]

How many?

..and as I said...time will tell.

Martial law a dictator does not make.

Wha? Time will tell… profound

 

[GATTACA!]

Same person is also unable to refute a single argument or point with any facts or reason

The fucking irony of this statement lmao.

 

[Bishop2b5]

I didn't vote for Trump and Vance.


Do you have the same reading disorder as the other guy?

Brilliant comebacks. I've saved them in case I'm reincarnated as a 6th grader in my next life.

If you'd like to actually address anything I said on any policy topic, go for it. Every time I have thus far, your side and turned tail and ran and devolved into LOLZ LIBERAL posts rather than actually refuting anything on the merits.

So...ball is in your court.

You haven't said anything worth addressing. Silly insults and goofy opinions don't require addressing. You backed bad candidates and bad ideas and a bad agenda. Why would we give any credence to anything you have to say about politics at this point? Nobody wants to hear you. It would be like listening to an incel tell us how to pick up women. Be quiet with your shallow nonsense. Talk less, listen more, learn.

 

[NorthDakota]

Is Musk Derangement syndrome a thing?

Yes. Government Establishment types and neocon types blame him for Donald's reelection.

 

[Bishop2b5]

The fucking irony of this statement lmao.

Give us a break, Gattaca. You think this is a woman. Nobody gives a bit of credence to anything you say after that! You've lost ALL credibility.

 

[GATTACA!]

It’s like you set out to prove my point. Brilliant.

 

[Bishop2b5]

It’s like you set out to prove my point. Brilliant.

And yet you still think that's a woman, you were wrong about the candidates, the agenda, the policies, the polls, and the election. You have no credibility about anythingpolitical or cultural, yet here you are blathering on and on. Brilliant.

“The two female athletes mentioned by IBA are not transgender athletes. They were born as women, were raised as women, and have competed in the women’s category for their entire boxing careers, including at previous international competitions such as the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, when both of them did not win a medal.

They also competed in IBA World Championships and IBA-sanctioned tournaments before they became victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA. Towards the end of the IBA World Championships in 2023 they were disqualified, without any due process.”

Bishop’s transdar knows better though.

Pretty ill advised for her to continue on with her lawsuits for something so cut and dry right?

Please at any point grace us with the facts and data you speak of. It will be the first time in your IE career.

Calling someone gay to be an insult, what homophobic post.

 

[Bishop2b5]

CNN is far from being a credible source here. They are, as usual, putting political agenda ahead of facts and reality... as usual. You have no training in medicine nor genetics. I do. You're basing your belief on politics, not genetics and biology. You have no idea what you're talking about. You're simply parroting CNN and the propaganda you've been told to parrot.

He's a male born with a hormone issue that caused him to develop female genitalia. At puberty, he began developing typical male features common to people with an XY chromosome pair, which he clearly and obviously has, and which testing has confirmed. He's a man who was misidentified at birth. It's not common, but also not a super rare thing either. I've seen it twice in my career. If you want to continue believing he's actually a woman, that's up to you. It's certainly your right to be willfully ignorant and wrong.

Proof of the test? Oh wait there is none

Where the hell does he call Bishop gay?

The quote is from the IOC not CNN.

Complete conspiracy theory. Remember the facts you spoke of?

 

[Blazers46]

Yeah, normal people think 2+2=4 and penis+penis= gay.

 

[TorontoGold]

lolwut, someone who's clearly over the top transphobic is battling some internal demons. I encourage him to live his truth.

 

[NDVirginia19]

I’m actually sort of shocked that nobody has brought up the firings of the CJCS, CNO, AF VCOS and JAGs

 

[ColoradoIrish]

Except Toronto never said that

It’s seriously cute you defending Toronto.

And they didn't do a genetics test on him. He's a man. He has an XY chromosome pair. I've explained why he was thought to be a girl at birth, why it became clear he wasn't at puberty, that DNA testing has confirmed he's a man, and anyone can look at him and see that he's a man, yet you still think he's a woman... and don't understand why the adults in the room don't take you seriously and dismiss you as having no credibility any longer.

Stop parroting obvious nonsense for political reasons, and start being rational and factual again. These sort of stances and willful blindness to common sense and virtue signaling and insisting that the emperor's new clothes are glorious are a huge part of what got your party obliterated in November. Time to wake up, turn around, and come back to reality.

I’ve been meaning to make a point to read up on it. I don’t know the context or who they are. This is legit your bubble and I’m sure you have a lot of thoughts and feelings on this.

Trump won this past election by 2 million votes, he lost 2020 by 7 million. If the Democrats got obliterated in 2024 what would you call the ass kicking of 2020?

 

[NDVirginia19]

The President has absolute authority over who his generals and admirals are. The thought that they are untouchables and can’t be changed out is the same democrat philosophy that thinks it’s illegal for Trump to have a say over what his executive agencies are actually doing.

Obama fired plenty of generals over political disagreement, and it wasn’t beyond the pale then (though I’m sure Fox News covered it as such). If the democratically elected president doesn’t have full faith and confidence in Brown and Franchetti to do their jobs, it is completely his right to fire and replace them.

 

[ColoradoIrish]

Not defending him at all simply pointing out your the one saying Bishop might be gay

With all due respect I have no clue how to have a conversation with you. Would you consider yourself a chubby chaser?

I know intelligent conversations are difficult for those on the right.

No I'm not a chubby chaser, but I wouldn't exclude chubby girls

No you've explained your theory. Please point us towards the test results or anything factual. Anything that isn't based on your opinion.

Whats the temperature among those you rub shoulders with? I assume you are closer to this than most.

I work for on flag officer’s staff and have a good amount of candid conversations with him. Thankfully not in the pentagon though, as I’m sure it is paranoia city right now. Ultimately some of the moves we have made so far (8% budget cut in particular) are good to realign strategic priorities and help us dump programs that there was a great deal of internal and external friction preventing us from dumping. But I know that my general and all flags have to submit their service record for review by senior pentagon leadership.

I know plenty of people liked ADM Franchetti and are sad to see her go, I don’t know much about GEN Brown though. I know a lot of people are not sad to see GEN Slife go from the Airforce. That being said, I think there is a bit of chaos in the department right now which is equal blame last administration and this administration IMO. Whether the chaos will be ultimately a good thing is TBD
