2024 US Presidential Election Thread

After reading all of this seems like whites and colored South Africans will have to leave the east (eventually) and move into the west as a stronghold, arm themselves to the teeth and fight the radical black supremacists. Interesting to still see Pretoria and its suburbs having so many whites, basically surrounded by blacks. I would feel extremely fearful living there as a white South African.

And yes that's 100% accurate about America.. How are gun control laws in SA? are whites/ colored people buying weapons in mass, do you own one yourself? I wish you guys had something similar to the 2nd amendment.

Gun ownership is widespread,
but all legal firearms are registered, and one can only shoot an intruder INSIDE one's home, not on the property.
Also private security is widespread, more common than all police and military combined,
but is not always affordable, and not everyone lives in a gated community.

Many South Africans keep a clean blade (without fingerprints), which can then be planted in the hand of a dead intruder.
Many judges are pro-black-criminal and will crush the homeowner,
unless the intruder is clearly armed, dangerous and already inside.

The only advantage of South African gun laws, compared to American ones, is that South Africa allows short-barreled rifles!
And there is no ATF, and the police is barely functional or very dysfunctional. A police state is not possible in these conditions.
Yes I do own many firearms in South Africa.

Let's talk about the fascinating world of American politics, shall we? Because right now, America is knee-deep in votes, especially in places like Michigan and Minnesota, where apparently there are these quaint little Arab populations. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for democracy and all that jazz, but let's not pretend these Arab communities are swinging the vote in any significant way. But hey, you know how it goes in America's lovely state-by-state election system.

Peel back the layers of the diplomatic theater, and one may uncover a stark truth beneath the facade of strategic maneuvering. Could it be that the Biden administration's interference in Israeli affairs is driven not solely by a quest for stability, but rather by a calculated gamble for political gain? Some voices speculate that the Democrats, feeling vulnerable and seeking to solidify their support base, are willing to make concessions, even at the expense of Israel's security.

I must confess a certain inclination towards Trump over Biden. Trump's approach towards Iran exuded a firmness that resonated with me, and his nuanced understanding of the complexities within the Middle East and the Arab psyche was truly impressive. Furthermore, his disregard for the optics among Arab-Americans in the United States showcased a refreshing authenticity, unencumbered by the constraints of political correctness.

Excellent analysis! 100% agree and sadly what's going to happen. Israel might be left all on her own due to Biden being pressured by the radical lefties and Arabs in America.

Sweet, lucky you... Its amazing how they banned short-barrel riffles here is beyond me and disgusting and I hope the Supreme Court strikes that crap ASAP . Perhaps we could go to the gun range if you ever come visit America (or vice versa) would be fun ^. (:. Now as far as those pro black judges sounds kinda similar to what we have going on in America (except its not about race, but ideology) where you have far left judges and district attorneys in democrat areas that will go after law abiding citizens and not so much on the criminals. But glad you guys can at least protect yourselves especially now with the whole black supremacist movement in SA.

Photo credit: Getty Images | " Tom Fitton, president of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, said it would be a 'betrayal of his promise to the American people' for Trump to abandon the Clinton case. 'Donald Trump must commit his administration to a serious, independent investigation of the very serious Clinton national security, email, and pay-to-play scandals,' he said, calling on the president-elect to 'focus on healing the broken justice system.' ” The photo and the quotation were both posted along with the article linked to below.

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday (November 22, 2016) he won’t pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton because it would divide the nation — and she’s already 'suffered greatly.'

'I don’t want to hurt the Clintons — I really don’t,' Trump said in an interview with the New York Times.

“She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways.”

Trump’s conciliatory gesture to Clinton is a sharp contrast to a key plank of his winning campaign message.

At the second presidential debate in October, he told his rival, 'If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there has never been so many lies, so much deception.'

Steve Mnuchin was the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury from 2017-2021, and this photo is from the Wiki article about him. The article linked to below also says that "It’s no secret ... that Trump has also donated to (Hillary) Clinton’s past political efforts."

...
After spending 17 years at Goldman Sachs, Mnuchin became founder, president and CEO of OneWest Bank Group LLC from 2009 to 2015, a bank backed by (George) Soros and several other hedge fund managers and billionaires. The group sold the bank to CIT Group for $3.4 billion in a merger that was completed last August.

During his tenure at Goldman Sachs and beyond, Mnuchin contributed more than $7,000 to (Hillary) Clinton’s New York Senate bids in 2000 and 2006 as well as her run for the Democratic nomination in 2008, according to federal contribution data on OpenSecrets. Mnuchin also donated $1,000 to Republican candidate Steve Forbes in June 1999, along with several other presidential and congressional candidates in both parties. Mnuchin contributed $2,000 to Barack Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign and $2,300 for his presidential bid in 2007.

DELRAY BEACH, FLa. — A new report details multiple instances of President Donald Trump making disparaging remarks about members of the U.S. military who have been captured or killed, including referring to the American war dead at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in 2018 as 'losers' and 'suckers.'
...
The allegations were first reported in The Atlantic. A senior Defense Department official with firsthand knowledge of events and a senior U.S. Marine Corps officer who was told about Trump’s comments confirmed some of the remarks to The Associated Press, including the 2018 cemetery comments.

Maybe I should be blue not red, im not sure if that would be possible with republicans?

Furthermore, on April 8th, 2023, our Chicago branch made history by raising the Roma flag for the first time in United States history at Daily Center in Chicago in which the Cook County Human Rights Commission attended and made a keynote speech. This momentous event marked the first occasion where the Roma flag was raised and flown on government property in an official ceremonial manner.

In the article I linked to, Trump denied the accusation.

However, Trump has plainly said that his first loyalty is not to America. He's never owned up to it at a press conference, and so I don't trust him to tell the truth about things like this.

But if Reagan was still alive, healthy and running for President as a third-party candidate, I would certainly vote for him.

Trump voters are like a married woman who thinks the world of her husband, because she hasn't known him for what he really is. If other people try to tell her facts about him that she doesn't like, she might get very angry about that, but somebody has to say something.
