The DUmpster / Re: I've never in my life witnessed failure so celebrated
« Last post by SVPete on April 02, 2026, 10:03:52 AM »
Just to illustrate how moldy and stooooopid EnergizedLib's lying claim about Trump's Covid response is, three of those four threads were originally posted by me on another site in August 2020, each containing information I had previously accumulated earlier in 2020, plus some updates later in 2020. I updated the links in those three threads in 2023, and compiled the March 2020 thread in 2025, again from information collected in 2020.

The Dems have been telling this easily refuted lie for 6 bleeping years! And DU-denizens still believe it! Just. Pathetic.

My theory on Trump having the Ayatollah killed.

I thought his theory was going to be that the ayatollah had the entire Epstein file as was days from releasing them to the world so Orange man had to take decisive action to stop the release no matter the fallout.

Tell me, EnergizedLib, whose Administration took Covid so seriously that it assisted with development and testing of 8 potential Covid vaccines, including July-August 2020 conditional purchase contracts for hundreds of millions of doses of each (conditional on FDA Authorization). Who arranged the logistics of vaccine fill-and-finish and nationwide distribution, which resulted in millions of Americans having received at least their first dose of Pfizer or Moderna before Joe Biden was inaugurated?

The truth is is that none of us have any money. It’s all the government’s money and government knows how to spend our money better than we do. I am a statist, believe it would be better if we abandoned the belief in any God for a worship of the state, but we need to elect Democrats to do so.

Well, at least (s)he's honest about his/her government-worship. Did any DU-member take exception to this honesty?

I "love" comparing DUmmie claims to reality. I'm easily entertained, and DUmmie claims are an easy target. So, I searched uses of some form of "fraud" by me in the past 14 bdays. There were 7, not a lot, given my posting habits. Digging further, here are what was being described as fraud(ulent):

* Baltimore public schools, by me;

* The phony hospices in SoCal, by me twice and in an article title one of those posts;

* Criminal referral for insurance fraud by Letitia James, in an article title;

* Erika-Kirk-Haters' claim she's a fraud, in an article quote;

* Congressional Ethics Committee recognition of Covid-era FEMA fraud by Rep Cherfilus-McCormick, in an article title;

* Investigation of potential voter fraud in Riverside County, in an article title.

Contrary to EnergizedLib's claim, Nick Shirley's videos demonstrated the truth of his claim. Further, the SoCal fauxny hospices were first exposed by CBS News, and Nick Shirley subsequently made videos showing some of the fraudulent outfits.

As for my usage of various forms of the word "fraud", most were indirect, in the titles or quotes from news articles I posted. IOW, "fraud" is hardly a "buzzword" for me, and I also use it selectively rather than in broad-brushing.

I've never in my life witnessed failure so celebrated

From the just the first four years alone - botching the COVID response, Jan. 6, the 2020 election and the stacking of a sham court that gave us Dobbs.

Now, we have a police state that’s killed citizens, that has falsified charges, one of its members has been found to sexually abuse a Nicaraguan woman, no body cams, face masks, trillions added onto the debt, job losses, people losing their healthcare, 13 American troops and more than 100 Iranian schoolgirls are dead. Remember when President Biden was blamed for the Afghanistan debacle and his numbers never recovered? The felon’s numbers are below 40%, job losses, market losses, gas prices and grocery prices higher, all while trying to steal the midterms and suppress the vote.

And what do we get? The trump-Kennedy Center, trump’s own airport in Florida, a street named for the felon, the felon’s signature appearing on paper currency and on coins for the 250th Anniversary while being allowed to loot the treasury and threatening more wars with Cuba after a very unpopular Iran war that even has the cult divided.

If the felon were an NFL head coach with this kind of epic failure, he wouldn’t even last a single season. Presidential historians already rated him either the absolute worst or not far behind before 2024, and all these things are being renamed in his honor and the cultists want that ugly face on Mount Rushmore.

It’s unbelievable, it really is. Failure doesn’t always get punished, but I’ve never seen it so widely celebrated in my lifetime.

 Failure so celebrated?? Look in the mirror you moron. Project much.

I too served in the military and since I retired, I can't tell you how many times the Air Dorce and the Army have flown over or close by my home.  Yes, I am not famous but sometime the military needs to fly over all airspace and there is a chance that despite the media blowing this up, that all this was a pair of Apache's flying back to Fort Campbell as usual and it just happened to be close to Kid rocks home.

I've lived in or near the normal weather flight path for Moffett NAS/Field. It's no longer a naval base, but Lockheed has projects whose contracts require delivery by military transport. So while I no longer see P-3Cs, U-2s (NASA), and occasional AH-1s, I still occasionally see a C-130 or C-17 flying into Moffett.

Where I grew up is near Travis, Mather, and McClellan AFBs (the latter two now former AFBs), so seeing B-47s or B-52s was not uncommon when I was growing up, and during the late Carter years I'd occasionally see a C-5A while driving near Fairfield on the way to visit my parents.

Garrulity aside, seeing military aircraft nearby is pretty ordinary for me.

That depends on the definition of the word "fraud".

"Winning on day 1". My theory on Trump having the Ayatollah killed.
The premise is that Trump thought that by killing their leader, all of Iran would collapse because without him, the US would collapse.

He projected a delusion fueled by his worshipping cult both internally at the White House and externally by his actual maniacal cult.

He IS the state so every other country must be the same. With their leader gone, they’d naturally rally around his omnipresent strength.

1.  underpants needs to :jerkit: less and :stoner: :stoner: :stoner: :stoner: :stoner: :stoner: a WHOLE lot less. When DU-grade Progs claim to understand Trump or conservatives generally, you know absurdity is coming.

2. If Trump reeeeeeally thought taking out the Assatollah would bring down Iran, why were so many other targets hit? Especially SAM systems? Taking out SAM systems is what you do to prepare for further strikes in the days and weeks to come.

3. BTW, IIRC, it was Israeli planes that took out the Assatollah & Crew on that first day. US planes and missiles hit other, mostly military assets and facilities, targets.
