    Trump and the National Guard Thread

    That is not my quote. I didn't say that this was a fake attack and completely staged.
  2. Not useless in all situations. Fun Fact: There are sites such as FiveThirtyEight that rank the accuracy (or validity) of pollsters and polling organizations, particularly in the context of election polling.

    Trump and the National Guard Thread

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/08/trump-deploys-federal-law-enforcement-washington-dc-crime/85572918007/ President Trump orders federal law enforcement officers to patrol Washington, D.C. streets WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump ordered an increased federal law enforcement presence across the streets of Washington, D.C. for the next week as he railed against the city's crime rate and continued to float a federal takeover of the nation's capital. Trump directed the unspecified number of federal agents on the night of Thursday Aug. 7, just days after an assault on a high-profile staffer of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old nicknamed "BigBalls," was attacked by a group of teenagers during an early morning attempted carjacking last weekend. "The Crime situation in Washington, just like our Southern Border where ZERO Illegals entered in the last three months, will be a safe place very soon," Trump said in an Aug. 7 social media post that highlighted the attack on Coristine. "Thank you for your bravery and heart." Federal law enforcement officials will concentrate in high-trafficked tourist areas and "other known hotspots," the White House said. It will begin as a seven-day effort with an option for Trump to extend "as needed." The additional federal officers are to be identified in marked units, according to the White House. The increased federal law enforcement presence will be led by the U.S. Park Police, with officers from about a dozen other federal agencies also assisting. This includes the U.S. Capitol Police, the Amtrak Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service, Homeland Security Investigations, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The move follows an executive order Trump signed in March that established a "Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force" composed of federal department heads who were instructed to "maximize resources" to make the District of Columbia safe.

    I have a definite point of view but others often express it better than I and when that happens I credit the source by quoting them. If anyone doesn't like it, they can always put me on ignore.

    Gerrymandering

    What is known as the law of unintended consequences:
  7. How can he or anyone be ashamed of what they say as an anonymous poster on an obscure low rent message board like this?

    Trump's Cognitive Decline and Health

    Geebus Tim, 30, 20, 10, even 5 years ago he wasn't this so incoherent.

    Yeah, it will cetainly be a distraction when DC becomes a police state.
  10. How could it be meant as anything else other than an insult? Seriously.
  11. Wait...it wasn't that easy for him to dodge the draft?
  12. Hell Toupee is totally cool with that.

  14. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1951030186109022712 Party preferences in the U.S. have shifted back to favor Democrats for the first time since 2023, according to a new Gallup poll. 46% of Americans now consider themselves Democrats or lean more to the Democratic Party. It's 43% for Republicans. Republicans led in the fourth quarter of 2024.
  15. Tell us again that you think that Blue Lives Matter.
  16. Not true. I have never dismissed Gallup because they lean right (as I don't think they do). Poster is either lying or confusing what I've said about Rasmussen with Gallup.
  17. Which is probably within the margin of error.

    Gerrymandering

    What federal laws have been broken that would involve the FBI? https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1953463689782116588 Flag: Republican John Cornyn says the FBI has agreed to his request to help track down the Texas state Democrats who left the state to block a severely gerrymandered congressional map.
  19. Fun Fact: People choose to be a Nazi, but they don't get to choose their skin color
  20. Fun Fact: Even if you have someone on ignore you will still see their posts when they make them while you are in the thread.
  21. Yes, they did, Trump said that who they were be going after first would be the violent and worst criminals, which has not been the case.
  22. Of course not, they just wanted anyone who fell in their net to reach their daily quota.
  23. From the Twitters: Penske is an international corporation with multiple brands that are highly visible across the globe. They're protecting their image, which is smart. A statement like this isn't written by some intern on their comms team; it would have gone through their legal department.
