Con1 âI donât support this.â
Con2 âMe neither.â
Con3 âI also donât support thisâ
Con4 " Same here. This sucks.
Con5 âDitto.â
etc. etc.
Libs (again and again and again without reading a single post)
âsee? all the cons support this. They are all hypocrites.
Heck Trump probably could shoot someone on 5th avenue.â
I mean after saying libs are talking to themselves you start quoting your own darn posts. If thatâs not comedy and complete lack of self awareness thenâŚ.
My contention:
Youâve got some pre-conceived narrative stuck in your head
and started repeating it without even reading the posts on this thread to see if it is true.
And it had nothing to do with your posts or most posters in this thread
Donât start about preconceived notions and your imagined posts that nobody posted
If you canât see two obvious attempts in this thread by maga(which was not posted by cons but by MaGA) to (1) waive it away and (2) support it then i cannot help you. Itâs purposeful and you can wallow in your purposefulness. You took the time to review the thread. You quoted the correct posts by posters who are not maga and yet you somehow managed to ignored two discussions with maga wherein there were the two things i. mentioned. It must be on purpose. I donât believe in willful blindness
List three posters on this thread who support the govât taking a 10% stake in Intel.
(If you cannot then I am probably correct the multiple accusations of hypocrasy are pretty misplaced, right?)
The point is, every accusation is turning into a confession.
Dems are socialists? Well, that ship has sailed. The GOP is excusing taking actual ownership of a US company. And not like GM, GM fell under the US because they were going bankrupt and no bank was able to help them because the economy was crashing. We made a profit once they went back on the market. Same with Chrysler. And it stopped us from going into an even deeper dive, saving millions of jobs. Given all that, Cons were all about calling that Socialism.
Now? The US isnât saving Intel, they are just getting their slice of the pie like any good Socialist government does.
So, the GOP lost the Socialism line. They lost the pedophile line by covering up for Epstein and Maxwell. (For probably good reason, Trump was probably very involved in that whole mess). They lost the Constitutional line by allowing an Imperial Presidency and an abdication of power from the Congress in regards to immigration and tariff policy.
Weâre building concentration camps in swamps and putting troops in the streets and no one is batting an eye. I suppose going full Socialist was the next logical step.
Eh. You can see them yourselves. Or donât. I made my assertions. I donât feel like debating the ins outs of who is maga and who isnât and what constitutes support and what doesnât. Iâll stick to my âpreconceived notionsâ.
Not just one US company. According to Trump there are many more to come.
âPeople come in and they need something,â Mr. Trump explained, saying of the Intel deal specifically: âI hope Iâm going to have many more cases like it.â
To some conservative economists, Mr. Trumpâs declaration appeared both curious and problematic. For a generation, Republicans preached the idea that government should not interfere in free markets and bet taxpayer money on winners and losers â and yet the president himself appeared to acknowledge his tactics on Monday as a new form of industrial policy.
âI think what weâre seeing is less a strategic, thoughtful shift toward state capitalism and more an opportunistic display of corporate shakedowns,â said Michael R. Strain, an economist with the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute. âEither way, this does create significant risks for the companies that are entering into these deals, and for the long-term prosperity of the American people.â
