American Politics

Are Ryder Cup goers Trump voters? Mosconi Cup goers definitely are

American Ryder Cup attendees have been irritating ****s for years now. Same sort of idiots you see on American game shows actually. Though I guess there's an element both are playing it up for TV. Which comes back to the point about the general American being very impressionable and so Trump getting in

Yeah I kinda think its a general thing, loud and brash, just very different to what we are used to like silence during a golf swing. A number of years ago I went to the cinema in LA, Santa Monica so nice spot with Hollywood movie history and was thoroughly ****ed off by the experience. It was one of the Star Trek films and the crowd cheered and booed and 'interacted' with the film like it was live. Night showing so wasnt kids. Was like it was straight out of cliched movie itself. Conversely in a bar after and you have a 3rd longneck bottle of beer they want to do an intervention and pack you off to therapy....I just felt like I had been locked in a playschool for 2 hours!!!

Went to Anaheim for baseball and it was raucus but they go mad when there is nothing happening, its was like being at an ADHD convention! I can say that with a bona fide not free online diagnosis so I know!

Im still seeing them, maybe its a location thing?

You really shouldn't be, but just in case I've removed the site from AdSense now, and I've removed the site I was serving the ads from too, so if you're still seeing something, you've got something else serving ads on your device! :)

This is an incredible story, and incredible that its so unsurprising!

"Young" Republicans. Most of them were in their 30s. Vance called them "kids". Which is probably pretty accurate mentally.

As usual its just been completely brushed under the table and we move on to the next scandal

[dahamsta]

But hey, the East Wing!

[ontheotherhand]

"The left call us Nazis!"

Well......

One day an ICE agent will look at the other masked agents around him, and echo David's Mitchell's immortal line ....

"Are we the baddies?"

.... well, maybe not.

An ICE agent this weekend thought it was a great idea to dress up as a Nazi and go to a costume party in Georgia.

It's probably beyond many of them, but that big signing bonus may have attracted a fringe of people who aren't entirely comfortable with what they're doing but need the money.

As for the east wing of the White House, if only that were the worst thing they'd done. It's only a building; rather a symbolic one of course.

Think you're forgetting when Obama wore a tan suit ;)

And you're forgetting when Bertie wore a yellow one!

So with the US's main carrier group being transferred from the Med to the Caribbean does anyone think that there might actually be a war with Venezuela. Its significant when the USS Ford is the main projection of US military in the Middle East, and to a lesser extent parts of Africa and toward Russia/Black Sea. Maybe Donald is a little more bothered by economic and popularity numbers and thinks a foreign war is needed, war on drugs or course and nothing to do with wanting control on an oil 'rich' nation. Recent mayoral and gubernatorial elections could make him twist rather than stick!

The Election results this weeks will definitely have him scrambling. Thank God we are finally starting to see some real push back against him, its a year too late but the No Kings movement seems to have translated to the polls. I was having a conversation yesterday with one of my neighbors yesterday who is a life long Republican, but despises Trump. He is p1ssed off that we in California voted for what amounts to Gerrymandering for Democrats in response to Texas and other States just applying similar without a vote. What I said to him was that I actually didnt like the Gerrymandering but I absolutely voted for it because its the first time I can see that the Dems are fight back a bit dirty, and that absolutely needs to happen. This movement now needs to accelerate with the mid term elections in mind for next year. There needs to be historic collapse in Republican seats if we are going to show that Trumps policies are going to be stopped.


But meanwhile Infantino wants to give the cnut a Peace Prize.....

Will Mandani's election scare Republican voters in to being more active in actually voting? A muslim left leaning Mayor in one of the 2 biggest cities - Ive heard it said that him winning could lead to 10 additional votes to republicans simply from fearmongering, islamaphobia, jingoism etc. Or is it seachange in support for MAGA?

[John83]

The MAGA crowd are pretty constantly kept worked up already. Ten additional votes? Do you mean ten more seats in the midterms or something?

I think the opposite is actually happening tbh. His base will just vote no matter what, but I think that theres a lot of people that voted for him last year that regret it, especially in the hispanic community. Now, they were fcukin idiots for voting for him in the first place but I think we are starting to see a strong move against Trump happening now. Even Tucker Carlson and Majorie Taylor Green are speaking against what the Republicans are doing right now. When they are the voice of reason things are really messed up
