Guys, stock market at record highs, I can get gas now for under $3. Why should I vote for trump?

[MisterWack]

He’ll Be Strong On The Border Obviously…..Oh wait

OOF!

He’ll Be Strong On Taliban & China! …..

Yikes!

“I will always be friends, no matter what happens with our dispute on trade.”

Whatever…. He wasn’t an insurrectionist like those damn Libtards tell us… right?

His Reactions To 2012 Election Results.

Oh and Mike Pence called the National Guard when President Trump refused to take in oval office phone calls on January 6th….. Even after he gave his speech “denouncing the violence”.

Let us not forget “People are dying, that’s true. It is what it is.” & “This is more deadly than even the most strenuous flus. I’ve always played it down…. Didn’t want to create a panic”.

A Check Trump Wrote To Relection of Kamala Harris as Attorney General of California

President Trump also praised Tim Walz’s soldiers coming in “knocked em down so fast it was like bowling pins” against BLM Riots in June 2020 on an audio recorded Phone Call.

[MisterWack]

He also promised to deliver Infrastructure & Big Beautiful Wall & Obamacare Repeal and Replacement….. We all know how that went. 🙄
I can in no good faith or coincence endorse Trump as a FORMER Trump supporter, I’m endorsing soon to be Madam President Kamala Harris & Vice President Tim Walz 2024.

[Twalli]

That's because he only has elements of a plan to replace Obamacare.

[MisterWack]

@Twalli
I mean if he has elements… My guess would be “air” though even air has more substance than Donny.

[matchrestore]

You shouldn't

Inflation has been out of control worldwide. We live in a global economy, and yet inflation in the US has been much lower than the global average. That's not an accident. Yes, the federal reserve has played a part with its interest rate hikes, but so has the policies of the Biden Harris administration. The US is in a much stronger position economically than most countries worldwide because we kept inflation down relative to the global inflation rate. Yes Biden doesn't have control over the global economy and global inflation, but his administration's policies have kept our rate of inflation lower than the global average. Trump's economic platform includes many policies that will drive prices higher for American consumers, especially his platform of imposing teriffs on foreign imports.

[Twalli]

Also, inflation is a sign of a growing economy. Stagflation and mega inflation are not, but inflation happens in any growing economy.

[FunkyMonkee]

Because gas will become less than $2.00, again, and eventually get to be less than $1.00 and the country will be in MUCH better shape and not doomed to extinction!!
If Skamala's SO FUCKING GREAT JUST because she has a cunt and claims to be black (even though she's not!!) and she's got ALL THESE WONDERFUL plans for the country, WHY isn't she doing this shit NOW, when she's already IN OFFICE? And, WHAT'S BEEN STOPPING HER from doing it over the past 4 years that she's been in?
Any FOOL that helps to make her president deserves EVERYTHING they're gonna get!!

[Twalli]

Because Biden is still POTUS and VPOTUS doesn't have the power to do what POTUS does.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Twalli Bullshit! That's why everybody keeps asking the same question.

[Twalli]

You think that the vice president has the powers of the president?

[FunkyMonkee]

@Twalli Everyone else seems to think so.

[Makeushiver]

Let's see. Right now you seem to be quite content with the way things are and the government has had a democrat executive officer as well as significant congressional representation yet you what to change things? Makes no sense. Are you hoping that another corporate tax cut by Trump will do the same as the previous one? That one did nothing for the economy aside from making executive officers richer because they spent the tax savings on buying back the stock, running up the price and then selling to buy another McMansion. Meanwhile the middle class individuals had no tax cut while they watched prices increase. Or is it because he set's such a high moral standard that money isn't important referring to his own daughter as a "nice piece of ass". Or because of his compassion shown during a Pandemic marshalling all the resources of this great country so we could face the problem with a strong unified front?

[exitseven]

Gas prices are temporary. OPEC has kept prices low and after the election it will be 5 bucks a gallon again.
You should vote for Trump because he will make the US energy dominant again so we do not have to rely on OPEC. Gas will be back around 2 bucks for real.

[DrPepper12]

To delay his prison sentence so he can die of Big Mac overdose and Couchfucker Handmaid can complete the christo-fascist apparatchik Theo/oli garchy they've been edging about...

[MisterWack]

Also apparently JD Vance’s new lie is “Kamala Harris does witchcraft” 🤣

[NamerOfStars]

Because you're intelligent enough to acknowledge that the President has very little to do with the the price of gasoline or the positioning of the stock market?

[Asker]

So why change if it’s working at the moment

[strateguy632]

You didn't notice for 3 years it was more?

If biden gets credit made it low now... shoulda made it low for all 4 years. But didn't and will repeat policy of high, if you vote democrat

[gatixek710]

Do you like war and the CIA running your government? Do you like poisons in your food?

[Asker]

Where are the poisons

[gatixek710]

In practically everything you eat.

[Syntosi]

Wait, are you suggesting we should have more government regulation to improve the safety of food and products?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi I am suggesting that we disallow the FDA to approve poisons. The regulations are what got us here.

[Syntosi]

Erm.. Define "poison"?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Glyphosate, artificial dyes, seed oils

[gatixek710]

@syn

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi flouride in our water.

[Syntosi]

Fluoride is a micro-nutrient, we need it to live healthy lives and it helps protect your teeth.

Glyphosate helps protect your food which means it is safer to eat and aside from skin irritation and such by misuse during spraying has virtually no evidence of being harmful to humans. Granted Glyphosate is being wildly misused but its still safer than the alternative.

"Artificial dyes" does not mean anything. Most food dyes you would consider as "artifical" actually comes from fruit and vegetables.

"Seed oils" is another nebulous group. Without having a specific example ill just boil it down to seed oils being overly fatty which is just a dietary issue and how a lot of people burn them which is bad since you should not burn any oil during cooking.

None of these are poisons. To me it just sounds like you are buying into conspiracy theories.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi lol. the "conspiracy theorists" were more right than the "experts" over the past 4 years.

Fluoridated water is banned in several countries as it's a neurotoxin. Are those countries conspiracy theorists also?

[Syntosi]

Well first of all, the fluoride conspiracy started back in the cold war and claimed that the communists were adding fluoride into the drinking water to turn the country into a communist dictatorship so it is indeed fairly crazy.

As for "experts"? I dont know a single credible organization that actually opposes fluoride in drinking water nor any country that bans it. I know a few countries has stopped the practice but none that has outright banned it. Fluoride is also a natural chemical that can sometimes be found already in drinking water so its not like we even need to add it everywhere.

Its also very telling if you look at a map over where people believe that fluoride in water is bad:
upload.wikimedia.org/.../...ld-equirectangular.svg

That is not a normal distribution. The distrust of fluoride in water is unnatural and the most likely explanation is that there has been deliberate disinformation campaigns running in those countries for whatever reason.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi The same experts that told you 6’ of distance would keep a virus at bay, eh?

[Syntosi]

Oh nevermind, I misread that. Its actually a map of where they add fluoride into water. my mistake.

[Syntosi]

When I say all groups, I mean all groups. Industry, healthcare, political organizations and otherwise. Belief against fluoride in water is an extremely fringe belief.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi When the majority is wholly corrupt, being on the fringe is preferable.

[Syntosi]

So 99.9% of the world is corrupt except for a tiny handful of conspiracy theorists in a small handful of countries. Sounds very convincing.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi you wore a paper rag on your face and stayed inside because the experts told you to.

[Syntosi]

No, I did it because it is the decent thing to do as a good neighbor. Its good to have mutual respect, even if you perhaps do not believe that it would help.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Wait, I thought you were a student of science. But now you just toss it into the trash to make people feel better. Lol. What a clown.

[Syntosi]

Social science is also a science

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi yes, social science is a complete fraud. It's absolutely not scientific. James A. Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian proved that.

[Syntosi]

... Do you even know what a science is?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi yes. And taking the word "science" on it doesn't make it so. Do you know who those names are I posted?

[Syntosi]

No and I dont care. Science is a branch of philosophy. More specifically, its a framework for how to gather and process knowledge to make it as useful as possible. You appear to be stuck on "hard science" AKA the type that you can inherently prove such as 1+1=2. That is not all that science is.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi lmao. No it isn't philosophy. Jesus our education system is a failure.

[Syntosi]

Yes, modern science is just a subcategory of philosophy. The scientific method is just a tool made by philosophy. While science is a very powerful tool in its own right, its just an extension of philosophy and subordinate to it. Philosophy decides what is knowledge and what is not. It decides what can be proven and what can't. It decides how you prove something etc..

A scientific theory only matters because it has been proven by philosophy. Evidence only matters because it has been proven by philosophy. All forms of logic and proofs only exist within philosophy. I dont think you quite understand just how critical philosophy is to literally everything.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi philosophy doesn't decide what knowledge is and isn't, lol. You're delusional.

[Syntosi]

It literally does. Epistemology is a thing, look it up.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi You’ve gone off the rails. No wonder you’re a kaMALA voter

[Syntosi]

You are the one who keeps rejecting basic things so I need to keep explaining these things to you.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi No, you’re claiming that making people feel better is science.

[Syntosi]

And you honestly dont think that scientists has studied relationships, human behavior and feelings? Again, there are more than one scientific field that overlaps with that like I mentioned before.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi None of that relates to the fact you threw a diaper on your face to help people’s feelings, lol.

[Syntosi]

How childish. For your information I also pretend that some people have a sky daddy that watches them masturbate. can't say that Christianity and such ever made much sense however society works better when you show respect.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi ooh you are so stunning and brave.

[Syntosi]

No, I am just a good person. Unlike some I could mention.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi congratulations. Following the rules is the only way you will ever succeed in life. They manipulated you so easily.

[Syntosi]

As opposed to someone who believes any old conspiracy theory? You do realize that people keep fabricating those for their own personal benefits right? Governments and corporations are probably behind like 70% of them at least like the one about vaccination causing autism or that global warming is not real.

The people in power wants you to be paranoid and skeptical of everything because that makes you ineffective and completely harmless against them.

They manipulated you so beautifully.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi this was the most ironic comment I’ve read on this site.

[Syntosi]

You must not be very at reading then.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi you seem confused. The guy who followed every rule the TV gave him over the past 4 years can’t claim others are brainwashed.

[Syntosi]

As opposed to someone who follows every conspiracy theory that some lunatic online tells you is "TOTS REAL!"?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi ever heard of MK Ultra? Midnight Climax? Think those were conspiracy theories?

[Syntosi]

Oh really? You want to try make yourself sound less crazy by saying "Not all conspiracy theories are nuts"? Do you also believe the earth is 6000 years old? That the earth is flat? That the moon is a projection by NASA? That chemtrails are real? Or perhaps you are one of those people that believe that mountains were giant animals and dragons?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Remember when you called people who said Covid was started in a lab “conspiracy theorists”? Good times.

[Syntosi]

Yepp. Still call them conspiracy theorists.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi because the man on TV told you, lol.

[Syntosi]

Oh really? I bet you have some evidence then?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Sure. Fauci was illegally funding a bio lab in wuhan china where the coronavirus came from to expressly study coronaviruses to make them more virulent and transmissible. Three workers from that lab got sick with Covid-19 symptoms and it spread from there.

[Syntosi]

Excuse me? What the actual fuck are you talking about?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Jesus, you’re this stupid:? I explained exactly how covid-19 was released on the world.

[Syntosi]

No you did not. You exploded in insane rambling about something unrelated to what I asked.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi I exactly described what happened. Sorry you're too much of a dope to see it.

[Syntosi]

Even if what you said is accurate (its not) that would still not explain how covid19 came from a lab.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi It is accurate and it 100% does. A leak, either intentional or accidental happened.

[Syntosi]

Talk about brain rot. First of all, why even bring up Fauci? can't you people be any less desperate? Secondly, why is the funding illegal especially if no one is being prosecuted for it? Thirdly, you are making some massive leaps by going from "They researched this" to "they got sick" and to "they started a pandemic".

Believe it or not but researchers generally dont start outbreaks.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Because Fauci was the one who authorized the money to pay for the funding. He's a demon with blood on his hands. IF we're going to use your logic, then the book RFK Jr wrote about him is 100% accurate since RFK has never been sued. Fauci was also the one who pushed AZT on aids patients, killing them as well.

"Generally" isn't "never".

[Syntosi]

Generally = Unlikely = You have to provide extra proof that something happened because it goes against established precedent.

You can't just say "They worked at a lab and therefore if they got sick then it must have come from the lab". That is making unfounded assumptions. Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi this wasn't a lab studying new flavors of soda pop. It was a lab specifically studying coronaviruses.

[Syntosi]

Oh noes! A lab studying diseases. Its not like that is a fairly common thing in large cities of 11 million people which means you have access to a large pool of highly educated people to work in your lab.

Even if we take everything you said for granted (its false though) that would still just establish a coincidences rather than a proof that Covid19 came from a lab.

Face it, you got nothing. This is just someone telling you it on TV once and you believed them without proof. Sad.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi The SPECIFIC Disease that causes Covid-19. You can't be that stupid. Well, based on your replies, you are.

[Syntosi]

"Specific disease" eh? Where is the proof of that? You said they were studying corona viruses, which is a family. Its like saying someone is studying humans because they are studying great apes. Its a leap of logic once again. You are really not very good at this are you?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi what was the virus that caused covid 19? Was it a coronavirus?

[Syntosi]

It was a strain from Betacoronavirus pandemicum. Saying "Coronavirus" means virtually nothing. You might as well be talking about SARS or MERS or any other of the uncountable strains that it contains.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi And none of that word salad negates the truth.

[Syntosi]

Its only word salad because you are ignorant.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi ok, so then let's hear your theory on how covid-19 came into being... this should be great.

[Syntosi]

Do I need to have one to point out that your theory is bullshit?

Personally I dont care where it originated from but since you asked so nicely, ill just construct the most likely origin based on what we know.

First of all, Covid19 is originally a virus that infects bats. Bats in particular have a very nasty immune system as they are a flying mammal which means their body temperature, and by extension their fever response to being infected is much higher than normal. As a result, a virus that is adapted to bats becomes very difficult to deal with in other animals.

web.archive.org/.../origins-of-the-virus

There is also a high likelihood that there was another animal that was infected by bats before covid19 came into contact with humans which means we did not get infected directly from the bats themselves. This is fairly normal and animals like pigs that we keep as pets or as cattle or even just pest like rats often becomes a transmission for diseases that ultimately infects humans. This is also probably where covid19 mutated to infect humans by "learning" from this intermediary animal.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03026-9

The current most likely candidate are raccoon dogs which links the market to the bats that lives 930 miles away.

And there you have it. A logical scenario of how it could have happened that also fits the evidence that we currently have, which your lab scenario does not account for.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi So find me more racoon dogs and bats with covid-19.

[Syntosi]

The closest known evolutionary ancestor to Covid19 was found in horeshoe bats and is about 50 years of evolution away from Covid19 which makes them very closely related.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-0771-4

There was tests at the market after the outbreak that established a number of animals that could have been carriers but to my knowledge there has been no direct evidence beyond that. So far the biggest piece of evidence for an intermediary species is genetic in how covid19 mutated by infecting them.

Also, because covid19 mutated when infecting the intermediary species its possible that it lost its ability to infect bats but that is just idle speculations.

Point is that I have evidence, you dont. You are basing your insane conspiracy theories on hearsay and blind speculations by people who does not even understand how diseases spread or what they are.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi lmao. No, what you did is create some fantasy with a sprinkle of racism rather than acknowledge reality.

[Syntosi]

Well of course its "fantasy", we dont actually have a confirmation which I stated at the beginning. The difference between you and me is that I have a base level of understanding and that I actually fit my potential scenario within the scope of the evidence we actually have.

Your lab theory on the other hand goes against all the evidence we have in favor of you getting an excuse for being racist. I guess we know what you prioritize the most in this story.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Ah, so you made shit up. The proof is that the wuhan lab was studying bat coronaviruses, was engaging in gain of function research on said viruses, Fauci lied to congress when he said he wasn't funding such research. And three workers from that lab came down with a disease with the same symptoms as covid-19.

I'm sure it's one big coincidence. Nothing to see here.

[Syntosi]

Oh boy, I am going to have to break out the emergency crayons for this.

You asked me for what I thought had occurred. I dont know, since nobody as far as I am aware knows. We do not have enough evidence to make a conclusive statement and I am perfectly at peace with NOT KNOWING unlike someone in this conversation.

We do however have evidence. That evidence points towards a specific origin which is the market and coming from bats.

You on the other hand toss out all these evidence and facts because they are inconvenient for your world view and instead latch onto the nearest conspiracy theory that you can find.

Lets go through this one-by-one. Is funding "gain of function" research illegal? No. Obama paused this research for 2 years back in 2014 to run it by an ethics commission. This also has nothing to do with if Covid came from a lab or not and is just you wasting my time with your stupid conspiracy theories.

Did USA fund the research at this lab? No. USA funded another organization that in turn contracted the lab for a study on how bats in nature would infect humans with coronaviruses (this has happened twice before in that area). This research did not modify any viruses, it simply sampled viruses from bats and observed people in places where they interacted with animals such as markets. It was purely an observational study rather than include any experiments.

Did the lab have any recorded breaches during that time period? No.

Does COVID19 have any signs of being altered in a lab? No.

Before you say it, could Covid19 have been developed as a biological weapon? No.

You have jack shit to support your little side of the story. Nothing that we would expect to see from a lab leak or from a lab altered virus exist. You are just jumping to conclusions.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi man you should apply for a job as a “fact checker” …no the US didn’t pay for this research, they paid a company that paid for the research.

Holy shit, your mind is fuckin jello.

[Syntosi]

Just because I can do multiplication in my head does not mean that I am exceptional. You are just "unique" and get confused once someone uses difficult words or large numbers.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi lol, you’re a midwit who is easily manipulated.

[Syntosi]

Says the person who believes in a conspiracy theory started by Tucker Carlson.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi I’d trust Tucker over some simpleton who swallows every bit of propaganda

[Syntosi]

Oh, that is just sad. You do realize that he is a spoiled rich brat who considers you as an easy mark right? He looks down on you. He talks down to you like you are an idiot. He pretends he is one of you but in reality he does it because he believes that you are not smart enough to see through his lies.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi lmao. You gargle Fauci’s cock while he lies to your face.

[Syntosi]

Once again you bring up Fauci as if anyone but you even remembers the man. Why are you so hung up about him all the time when he honestly does not matter?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi he doesn't matter? He influenced a lot of the bullshit that went on during the pandemic, killed thousands, and enriched himself.

[Syntosi]

He was just a civil servant. He has been serving as the direct of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984 and no one cared because he is as boring as the color beige.

The fact that you are OBSESSED about him says more about you than it does about him.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Have you ever watched the movie "Dallas Buyers Club"?

[Syntosi]

No and I dont care.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi of course. It's better to be ignorant in your case.

[Syntosi]

Ill take your word for it, you are the resident expert on the matter.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi It's clear you're a average drone.

[Syntosi]

At least I dont have to make up insane conspiracy theories to make up for my lack in knowledge. I am confident enough in my intelligence to admit that I dont know something.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Right. Where did the term "conspiracy theorist" get its origin?

[Syntosi]

Once again, I dont care. Conspiracies has existed for as long as we have human records. Why should I give two rats ass about where the term comes from?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Yeah, I know you don't care. Anything that spoils the ignorant bubble you've created for yourself.

[Syntosi]

"ignorant bubble" Rich from someone who refuses to admit the facts of covid19 and insist it started in a lab because of "I told you so".

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi I gave you facts. You spun a fairy tale about a bunch of random animals that you admitted was mere speculation.

[Syntosi]

You have given me exactly 0 facts that pertains to what we were talking to.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi neither have you

[Syntosi]

What a liar you are. I have linked plenty of articles and such that proves quite a lot of things ranging from tracing Covid19 to the market, the very likely intermediary animal and so forth. Furthermore I have pointed out a number of other facts such as Covid19 not containing any genetic markers that would indicate it being modified in a lab.

What have you done? Pointed out that there is a lab.. in a major city.. whoopdedo, totally a smoking gun. There simply ain't no basis for anything you believe in.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi I mean I get it. It makes you sleep better to think that everything's fine and nothing nefarious ever happens. It's living life on easy mode.

[Syntosi]

So is that what drives you? Abject paranoia? Fear? What a sad life you have and what a weak character.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi lmao. Nice try. Weak is being an NPC incapable of independent thought.

[Syntosi]

Independent thought eh? Is that why you adopt every conspiracy theory someone else present to you without critical examination?

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Better than gargling propaganda from the corporate media fed to them by the government.

[Syntosi]

You say that with the assumption that I care what they say in the first place. Unlike you I dont take marching orders.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi Weird you repeat all their talking points 100% of the time. Another odd coincidence. s

[Syntosi]

I actually dont but you would never know since you can't read.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi You actually do. Covid came from a wet market, masks should be worn just to make people feel safe, the covid shot is safe and effective, fauci is a minor advisor and didn't have any real influence on policy.

[Syntosi]

... Those are not even my positions. Nice strawman.

[gatixek710]

@Syntosi sure.

[noohair]

The goal of the Democrats is to make everyone dependent on the government. It will bite you someday. If it were all about the stock market, Kam would win every state. But not everyone is in the market. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

[Anonymous]

For the Civil War, obviously. We're never going to have one if Trump loses and without a civil war we will all have to go to work and keep paying our debts on January 21st like sheep. Are you a sheep?

[Anonymous]

lmao you're bragging about gas being under $3 when it should be much cheaper

why not brag about your petrol? or your groceries?

[Anonymous]

I don't care whether you vote for Trump. And while the market may continue to go up since the fed cut interest rates. Oil prices will not stay this low. Ergo gas prices will not stay this low.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Come here to Windsor, Ont., where gas prices are the equivalent of SIX BUCKS !!!

[onedarkcloud]

Is the border closed, Has food prices gone down? No then vote for Trump!

[Twalli]

Didn't Trump promise that is 2016? I didn't see that happen before 2020 either, so why should I believe it will happen this time?

[onedarkcloud]

@Twalli Trump had full funding for the whole fence when he was in office they had built hundreds of miles of fence and bought materials for the rest of the fence. On the first day of the Biden-Harris debacle, they stopped all building and opened our borders to illegals. So all the border problems are from SCAMALA AND SENILE JOE lying to the world

[Twalli]

And the border deal that the Republicans torpedoed on Trump's orders?

[onedarkcloud]

@Twalli In What order who, what, when, and where did this happen He never said a word to anyone except the whole country when he said the bill was bullshit. How about the 4 years of bullshit about RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA and it has been proven that Hillary Clinton bought and paid for the documents. SHE LIED TO AMERICA FOR 4 YEARS. Why are you, not screaming your head off about her lying for years? Scamala and senile Joe shut down gas and oil production 4 years ago caused the price to rise in the first place complain about that. Scamals and senile Joe are the reason this country is a 4th rate banana republic.

[Twalli]

No reason to vote for a convicted felon.
