what annoys you most about "politics" and related topics

 

[luiza]

It is about Facts and Psychology and that is precisely what Sheeple lack .

And now the same is true of the Politicians who have mostly been bought and obligated .
And those that have not are removed .

Democracy is now the most absurd and pointless game to be involved in unless you are the Banker on a fixed winning percentage whatever the wheel spins ..

 

[lg325]

The apathy of citizens. People who complain about the state of politics and the country but don't take the time to be involved in, voting, jury duty, or political party involvement. This leaves the fringe and hucksters, delusional to hold sway in policy.

TV news bunnies how are too conservative with leg and cleavage.

Most frustrating is the general refusal to consider genuine alternatives to the present deadlock of party politics. Overall, in so many areas of society, the inability to explore new ideas carefully is an enormous handicap, and it may well lead to catastrophe.

 

[BackAgain]

The fact that so many totally ignorant and utterly bewildered dimwits get a vote like our liberal Democratics do, takes the joy out of our politics.

How interviews are done by the media they could learn a lesson from this video. A civil interview during troubling times in the 1960s.

He was my Senator back in those days. I was young and didn’t follow politics much. But I felt like both he and his assassinated brother spoke the way our elected officials should speak.

I don’t see Bobby Jr. in the same light, now, as I see his President Kennedy and Sen. Kennedy, looking back. But I agree that both Parties and all candidates and our media would be better served (and would better serve us) if they thought and spoke more like the Kennedys did back then: Educated, reflective, fairly clear and maybe even a bit more candid. And it would help if the news media would stop playing the role of Party loyalist apparatchiks, too.

Other:

The fucking morons who prop these assholes up. On both sides. Yeah, that's right, the majority of voters. The Trumpateers, the Bidenistas, all of them... too fucking blind by the distaste for their opponents they can't see the end of their noses much less the train wreck that is the people they support.

yeh, that is highly annoying... dumbasses who say they are not voting, which means that one or the other of the pres candidates will win and God knows if it will be even the lesser of 2 evils...

illogical doesn't begin to say it

so what's your theory on why and how and by whom the Kennedy brothers were assassinated?

 

[nomadic5]

forgot another annoying (very) thing:

people basing their vote on their "feelings"

I FEEL abortion is a right for women [not the unborn]

I FEEL thegovernment should be BIG and should attempt to address every problem known to man!

I FEEL we should help Ukraine... just feels like the thing to do...

(can't say I haven't been guilty of that one, but why do we have to send them SO much money and better yet: is the $$ being accounted for??? We doubt it)

 

[BackAgain]

I don’t buy the Warren Commission report. It looks to me as though the government cobbled that thing together to avoid a public outcry that could have led to war. I don’t doubt that the President was shot from behind and from a higher elevation. I see no reason to doubt (or seriously doubt, anyway) that Oswald was involved. But

I also see zero reason to believe that President Kennedy was killed by one line gunman. I don’t buy the magic bullet theory. I do buy that there were more than three shots.

There are a variety of conjectures on who was behind it. I’m lost in that maze. I don’t know and suspect that none of us will ever know.

As to Sen. Robert Kennedy, I have no doubt at all that it was Sirhan Sirhan.

All that said, I’m not sure why you ask that question. It isn’t actually responsive to my post or my point.

I read a book once... can't recall title but it went into the details on the Robert Kennedy assassination

it was not Sirhan Sirhan... couldn't have been

 

[whitehall]

The entire media's support and defense of the Biden administration no matter what.

I disagree. one of RFK’s bodyguard literally wrestled the gun from Sirhan Sirhan’s hand even being vocally encouraged to break his (Sirhan’s) thumb (which I don’t believe he did). That bodyguard was none other than Roosevelt Grier, a then recently retired NFL player.

I recall the day vividly. And I saw the audiotapes beginning with eight around that moment. No doubt at all that it was Sirhan Sirhan.

His own attorney asked him at his trial if he had killed Senator Kennedy and Sirhan said, “yes, sir.”

I mean, not all conspiracy theories deserve ridicule. But not all conspiracy theories deserve any credence, either. This case would be hard not to classify as “open and shut.”

yeh... whoever holds them accountable for spreading "disinformation"?

well, it's one book versus another... which is just another example of how we need to be careful what we read

garbage in, garbage out...

SS did have a gun that day and was probably wrestled to the floor... but that doesn't mean it was his gun that did it

I never heard of a confession but hey... if someone wants to take the blame when hedidn't do it... what can we say?

Or, it’s far more probable that he confessed to the crime he did commit and for which he had carefully planned for a couple of months.
