Most Voters Think America’s Divisions Cannot Be Overcome, Poll Says.

[The Sage of Main Street]

It doesn’t matter how educated you are if you let political dogma override logic.

That can happen to anyone at any time and we need to be constantly aware of it.

Mental Rape-Room of Students Who Are Afraid to Grow Up

There's nothing logical about the economic dogma of getting a job as a reward for going years without a job, which is all "education" means today. From that insult to intelligence all other absurdities follow.

He doesn’t have the legal ability to federalize the national guard whenever he wants.

The idea that he can just say “it’s an insurrection” regardless of reality is the bullshit I’m talking about.

You guys do this all the time. Whatever Trump says becomes truth.

He's declared an immigration emergency, and the locals won't help out.

He's within his abilities as President to do so. It's all legal, you just don't like it.

Get used to the next 3 years of not liking things.

The law requires more than that to allow him to federalize the national guard.

He can’t just say whatever he wants. It has to actually reflect reality.

There’s no insurrection in Portland.
We aren’t at war with drug cartels.
The furniture industry in North Carolina does not impact national security.

On and on and on. You think whatever Trump says is reality just because he says it.

No, it doesn't. He's following the law.

There are rioters trying to prevent federal officers from doing their legal jobs, and the local police don't want to help.

We may not be at war, but since they won't follow international rules as unlawful combatants, the gloves are off.

WTF are you yammering about furniture for?

I think we finally have a Republican President that does what he says he is going to do, or at least tries as hard as hell to do it.

the dems have convinced themselves that they can turn the illegals into dem voters. that is their only reason for open borders. but its not working and they are self-destructing.

The Right Invisible Hand Does Know What Its Left Fist Is Doing

And the Rightists want White Replacements for cheap labor. They are too incompetent to be allowed to own businesses, so they cover that up by making profits only through gouging on wages.

It's a Bad Cop, Good Cop scenario. The Preppy Progressives put on a disgusting and insulting act to trick us into empowering their plutocratic-parasite classmates.

It doesn’t matter how educated you are if you let political dogma override logic.

There is nothing logical about the Democratic agenda. They are the least pragmatic people on the planet. They fall victim to their emotions every time.

"The Constitution Is Not a Suicide Pact"

But if the truth could be told us instead of sold us, that elitist document has been killing Americans' self-determination ever since Wonks Wearing Wigs cooked up this anti-majority scheme.

If they would have droned, MOABd' or Cruise-missled the Obama tent parties (celebrating stolen 2020) as I suggested, the problem would have been 90% solved.

does the president have to follow the law?

Representation Is a Re-Presentation of Feudalism

The American people didn't make those surrender-monkey laws.

Dude, Trump is all emotion.

When he said he won the 2020 election, it was all because he felt like he won. Pure emotion. Zero logic.

 

[Marener]

No, it doesn't. He's following the law.

It absolutely does. It’s a high bar to reach. Declaring an emergency doesn’t pass that bar.

There are rioters trying to prevent federal officers from doing their legal jobs, and the local police don't want to help.

DHS doesn’t need any help to handle a few protestors.

We may not be at war, but since they won't follow international rules as unlawful combatants, the gloves are off.

If we aren’t at war, then they can’t be enemy combatants. Obviously.

WTF are you yammering about furniture for?

You don’t pay attention.

A new Times/Siena survey shows a significant shift among voters, as their concerns about the health of the political system overtake other issues.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/us/politics/times-siena-poll-political-polarization.html

mericans have markedly less faith in the ability of the country’s political system to solve problems than they had five years ago, with a large majority now believing that the country is incapable of overcoming its deep divisions, according to a poll by The New York Times and Siena University.

Even in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, when the country was fighting over mask mandates and forced to reckon with questions about racial inequality, a majority of voters still agreed that the country was capable of solving its political problems.

Today, just 33 percent of voters feel the same.

The steep rise in pessimism reflects a striking shift in the public’s perceptions about what ails the country. After the economy, the poll found that Americans were most likely to point to problems in the political culture as the most urgent. They named polarization and the state of democracy more often than immigration, inflation or crime.

Attacks on our Constitution continue. The illegal deportation of Men and Women who engage in Pro-Palestinian protests have been blocked. Free Speech under attack. Trump wants to put U.S. Troops on the ground of U.S. Cities. This is what Authoritarianism looks like.

Yep, Democrats and Republicans have succeeded in dividing and conquering.

You don't know that, you just make shit up as you see fit.

It's rioters, not protesters, people deliberately interfering with federal officers doing their lawful jobs.

Sure as hell they can be, that's what part of what makes them unlawful you ******* idiot.

Again, you are so used to milquetoast Republicans giving you what you want that any fighting back looks like "ends justifies the means"

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

What would happen

Of course, the Libs will claim that their Antiffies are the Wolverines.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

That's what the political process is about.

All Republics Go Bananas

 

[Marener]

You don't know that, you just make shit up as you see fit.

I read the law and I read the court’s ruling on the matter. What did you do?

It's rioters, not protesters, people deliberately interfering with federal officers doing their lawful jobs.

A handful of “rioters” can easily be handled by DHS. There isn’t any significant level of violence.

Sure as hell they can be, that's what part of what makes them unlawful you ******* idiot.

They’re not combatants. They’re criminals.

Again, you are so used to milquetoast Republicans giving you what you want that any fighting back looks like "ends justifies the means"

I’m used to republicans caring about reality. If you abandon that, you can do basically anything you want.

Read enough history and know enough that the judge in question is a hack. Precedent is well given by what was done during the civil rights era.

Liar.

They are in the open ocean trying to bring death to the United States. **** em.

You are used to pushovers giving you your way. That day is over, fucktard.

There’s little of any precedent in this area. What are you referring to?

Liar.

You watch too much TV and social media. You, like Trump, have brain rot. The facts on the ground are different than they tell you. It’s not a “war zone”.

They are in the open ocean trying to bring death to the United States. **** em.

Not a war and they’re not enemy combatants. It’s drug smuggling. That’s a crime.

You can’t just call it a war because you feel like it.

You are used to pushovers giving you your way. That day is over, fucktard.

Anything Trump says is truth to you, because that’s how you get what you want.

This leads to bad places.
