Every single one of them will screech, "IM GEN X NOT A BOOMER!" Like they really think when they are called boomers they think people are only refering to the taxanomical definition of some faggot at Webster.

It means retarded old fuck, it dosent have a specific range as far as im concerned, the same way white people can be called niggers when they act as such.

Never has a generation of people felt more proud of destroying their own nation. These are the people who let them shoot a president in broad daylight and then did the same to the shooter and nothing came of it. But when trump starts to deport illegals we need to start dancing in the streets? Kiss my ass.
 
Okay, so is this guy next to Mamdani a real 9/11 guy or is this like when Trump is in a photo with Epstein and people are just going with the worst possible interpretation?
The equivalent of what Mamdani did would be Trump going to Epstein Island and giving a speech there about how great pedophilia and prostitution are and then asking if he could take a picture with Epstein and Maxwell.

Not that this really matters, Adams (the current mayor of NYC) did similar things with Black Supremacists. Mamdani can’t kill that which is already dead. The only way to fix NYC is to deport ~70% of its population.
 
Pardoning Loyalists
> Joe Biden pardoned his family, the Jan 6th committee, Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, among others.

Replacing Science with Ideology
> Tranny science, climate change science, covid science, are all ideological and not scientific.

Intertwining religion and government
> State atheism places the state and government and government organizations as holy and saintly idols.

Accusing others of the crimes you commit
> No one is above the law

racial profiling against minorities
> no one is above the law

Oppression of LGBTQ+PDF people
> Me not being forced to pay for your transition surgery is not oppression. Me not wanting to be blasted at every corner or have children be preyed upon by groomers is not oppression.

Threatening political opponents with prison
> Approximately 1,500 people were arrested and prosecuted because they were at the capitol building on january 6th. Trump and several of his close advisors were arrested and charged with a whole litany of crimes

Use of voter suppression
> Is diluting my vote with millions of illegals not suppression? Is using those illegals in the census to re-allocate congressional districts not voter suppression? Is resisting clear audits at every level of voting and counting not voter suppression?

Rise up and Fight for your Freedom
>I did and voted for Donald J. Trump.
 
I'm curious to gauge what you guys think, what is the fate of the Democrat party in the next 10-15 years when the retired old neo-liberal boomers who have money croak off?
Dead, probably. Replaced even…

I think a discussion much earlier in this thread (like a week ago) will be the answer. The Trump party is a broad umbrella with pretty conflicting ideologies that have connective tissue just enough to get rid of the old guard. I think within the coming elections, the Trump party will likely split. Arguably Gabbard would be the best to build up for a nu-Dem party that can take the Bernie refugees and make the rival party actually sane and competent.

The Dem party currently is a sinking ship of two rival gangs held together through sheer ignorance on one side. They both hate each other as Boomers don’t want the crack-pot socialism the Madamis will bring, and the AOCs have been held down to long for them not to stab the Schumers while they are weak. Either one winning is a death sentence as it is either out-of-touch old people used to abusing power or heavy radicals. A real pick your poison scenario.
 
Interesting article from The Hill: "Top admiral’s retirement sets off alarm bells over Caribbean boat strikes" (archive)

What I find most remarkable about this article is it buries the lede so it can criticize Trump and talk about identity politics: these drug boat strikes may be part of an ongoing escalation strategy with Venezula, and it brings up that Trump basically confirmed CIA operations in Venezuela. We don't need a nuclear submarine to support counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean, but we apparently have one there. Rather than highlight pretty serious military build-up, the article talks about it like this is bumbling around (rather than intentional) and talks about the questionable legality of it (as if the US, or anyone for that matter, has conducted wars legally this entire century).

We're sending escalation signals to the Venezuelans in like a dozen different ways and we're giving them casus belli by blowing up their citizens and property. Venezuela could very reasonably declare war on us or do some surprise attack, and the administration wants them to do it, because then congressional approval is not required for the following war.
 
Clearly the solution is to ethnically cleanse the muslims to achieve peace in the middle east, time for Israel to pump estrogen in their water supplies, they already have a ton of practice doing that.
