While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What's weird about the Biden presidency is that it everyone knows that the people at the top of the ticket are just puppets for powerful interests, but it's tough to identify a distinct coalition forming that power interest. Usually it's not difficulty identify the major players that drive decisionmaking and why, but this regime is particularly obfuscated and their agendas dangerously secretive.

That's because the controlling power interests are just Russian-style kleptocrats.  You can't identify them or their agendas because their agenda is "steal as much as humanly possible before the American empire collapses."

For those who are actually interested in doing their own research and not just watching Fox and CNN, here are some more questions and 'suppositions' regarding the "insurrection" from the same people that put up the summary that Tucker used.

Two words:

Sunrise Movement.

500 environmentalist protestors decided to block all entrances to the White House. New York representative Jamaal Bowman spoke at the protest insurrection rally.

Strangely, the Feebs and capitol police seemed pretty okay with this. I think a few people got arrested. Maybe.

So yeah, fuck everyone who talks about how there was an 'insurrection' on January 6. Kill yourselves. Avoid the rush.

That's funny! 

The minute they announced Biden was the nominee I called that the VP pick would be the real president.  However, I thought it would be Hillary.  Kumswala was a surprise, based on how poorly she did in the race.

Part of it is because Hillary was a two-time loser (to Obama in '08, and then to Trump in '16). Politics isn't kind to losers. She also comes with a truly ridiculous amount of baggage -- whether it's Whitewater, email servers, managing 'bimbo eruptions', or where all the money for Haiti went after it passed through the Clinton Foundation's hands.

Biden (or more likely, his handlers) had already decreed the VP slot would go to a 'woman of color', which limited them spectacularly. The big names for 'women of color' in politics weren't great -- aside from Harris, you had Stacey 'I totally won and Kemp cheated!!1' Abrams, and then a couple barely-known congresscritters. Harris had the most name recognition... in theory anyways.

To be honest, it's hard to imagine a worse pick than Harris though. She'd caught serious flak over shenanigans involving prisoners being held past their sentence durations in the CA correctional system. She was known to have consorted with Willie Brown to get her position (there's some inspiration for you, girls: sleep your way to the top!), and then Tulsi Gabbard verbally disemboweled her during the debates.

She's also despised by many rank-and-file Catholics in California (of which Biden pretends to be one) because she ran cover for the Church in not publishing the names of priests caught diddling children.

Its because she is an absolute whore in the political sense.  (Not really surprising I guess)
If you look at her history, you could pick her course of action by checking the latest poll of the people in power above her.

Its one reason she is so disliked, people naturally have an aversion to that kind of chameleon.  It trips people's 'sociopath' sensor, even if they are not aware of it.

However, that makes her an almost perfect figurehead. 

Biden has dementia and was just a face to coalesce the electorate behind.  I am not sure whether the 'Woman of Color' comment was a mistake or not.  Either way, GM is right, Hillary was too disliked and had too much baggage to be the candidate.  The most easily controlled, semi-acceptable, person fitting the criteria was Kamala.  Stacy Abrams can't control her mouth and is too stupid to keep up any sort of cover.  Joe may have been a gaffe machine, but before the dementia he was able to short circuit it because he was somewhat personable and not stupid.  Abrams would have been a gaffe machine without those benefits.

I'm not even keen on calling her a whore. Even prostitutes have more dignity.

I agree Hillary had a ton of baggage, but she's always been a media darling.  100 % agree on Abrams, too much downside there.

Hillary has been a media darling, but it wasn't going to help her against Trump.

She showed she doesn't do well when somebody actually goes after her and after 2016 everyone knew Trump would do that.
More importantly, Trump was probably going to crank it up to 11 against her because of the 'Russia,Russia' garbage that was tied to her campaign.  The media can only cover up so much and Hillary had too many negatives for them to cover for her...then add in the factor that the Clintons were losing influence and her possible health issues.

If they had known they were gonna be able to lock down the whole election year that might have worked...but they found that out too late.

What do people here think about the path forward for Trump and Trump supporters?

I've seen some about his recent rallies, but I'm curious about what supporters think. Do you still have hope for the Arizona ballot investigation? What about his chances in 2024, after new election laws in various Republican states?

I think he'll be too old to be President in 2024 and shouldn't run. 

Anything the Arizona investigation finds, should there be anything substantial, will be minimized and buried by the press.  I personally doubt much would come of it in any case, as fraudulent balloting is damned hard to prove in all but the most blatant cases.

I also vote 'unlikely' on a 2024 run, for similar reasons.

Besides, the prospect of a Ron DeSantis run already has the left crapping itself.
