Chamath expresses support for Nikki Haley

[BA Deere]

Oh, so your party doesn`t allow you peons to have an opinion?  Would you kindly point me in the direction of someone with a nametag?

[dwillinois]

Bruce is doing his best retard schtick at the moment...classic 

On Nikki Haley.......Hard Pass for me not even debatable, she is at 3% but somehow is pushed as top contender because a liberal said he'd vote for her.....LOL ....they said that about McStain as well. 

Ever notice the crap that comes out of SC...wow

Primary season is a ways off so couple of things, unless the RNC Learns to have a ground game and ballot harvest as the DNC does and will actually have more than one lawyer in battle the ground states this is all pointless. This would require establishment hero Rona to go carpetbag somewhere else, notice she is the approved darling in the media because she is Mitt's niece and will lose without blinking an eye. 

[BA Deere]

DW, I hate to give the Left a quote they can bash me over the head with... but here goes.  The American people as a whole are stupid and getting dumber each day.  For their own good, perhaps the Republicans should put up a palatable "useful idiot" who we can control behind the scenes.  I hate to use the cliche, but "They can`t handle the truth!"   Trump made the mistake of being too honest and open, to the point now where he is damaged and unelectable.   Oh I like him, his policies and honestly, unfortunately it turns most of America off. 

The Left has been successful with that technique with Joebiden the most recent example... Bruce is all but coming out admitting just that.   Obama`s throwing red meat to the Democrat base scared the bejeebers out of us, however he wasn`t much different than W Bush, Obama actually holds the record for most Arabs killed with drones.  Obama flamed the flames of racial unrest in a passive aggressive way, which got us to this triggered place we are now.  

Whodda thunk that a old white guy (Obama`s successor) would be the one hammering the final nail into the coffin known as "the American experiment"? 

R.I.P    Who could even dream up such bullshït?

Today, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, President Joseph R. Biden, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met in Mexico City for the 10th North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS). The leaders are determined to fortify our region’s security, prosperity, sustainability and inclusiveness through commitments across six pillars: 1) diversity, equity, and inclusion; 2) climate change and the environment; 3) competitiveness; 4) migration and development; 5) health; and 6) regional security.

North America shares a unique history and culture that emphasizes innovation, equitable development, and mutually beneficial trade to create inclusive economic opportunities for the benefit of our people. We are not just neighbors and partners. Our people share bonds of family and friendship and value – above all else – freedom, justice, human rights, equality, and democracy. This is the North American DNA.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is foundational to the strength, vibrancy, and resilience of our countries. We focus on providing marginalized communities opportunities for their full, equal, and meaningful participation in our democracies and economies. To advance these objectives, President López Obrador, President Biden, and Prime Minister Trudeau reiterated their joint commitment to protect civil rights, promote racial justice, expand protections for LGBTQI+ individuals and deliver more equitable outcomes to all.

In partnership with Indigenous Peoples, we will promote innovative and sustainable solutions that honor traditional knowledge, foster Indigenous-led growth and drive job creation. We will continue our cooperation to build societies where Indigenous women and girls can live, learn, and lead without fear through the Trilateral Working Group on Violence Against Indigenous Women and Girls. Indigenous women from all three countries will convene in the coming weeks to facilitate discussions about priorities and best practices including in areas of political, economic, and social development. The three countries also reaffirm our commitment to gender equality and empowerment of women and girls, in all their diversity by aiming to improve financial and political support for women’s and girl’s rights.

Climate Change and Environment

Mexico, the United States, and Canada recognize the critical nature of taking rapid and coordinated measures to tackle the climate crisis and respond to its consequences. This includes achieving our respective 2030 nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement, and working together and with other countries to keep a 1.5-degree C temperature limit within reach. To promote buy-in for ambitious cuts to emissions, we will come together to align approaches on estimating the social cost of greenhouse gas emissions.

We will continue to implement and build on commitments from the 2021 North American Leaders’ Summit on climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, while renewing our focus on reducing methane emissions from all sources, with a new focus on waste methane. We will explore standards to develop hydrogen as a regional source of clean energy. We will move swiftly to accelerate the energy transition by deploying clean energy solutions, increasing the production and adoption of zero-emission vehicles in North America and transitioning to cleaner fuels. In partnership with Indigenous Peoples, we reiterate our pledge to protect biodiversity, to work toward ending deforestation, and doing our part to conserve 30 percent of the world’s land and waters by 2030.

Competitiveness

We seek to deepen our regional capacity to attract high quality investment, spur innovation, and strengthen the resilience of our economies, recognizing the benefits brought by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. To boost regional competitiveness, the three countries will seek to forge stronger regional supply chains, as well as promote targeted investment, in key industries of the future such as semiconductors and electric vehicle batteries, which will be critical to advance electric vehicle development and infrastructure. We will convene public-private dialogues and map out supply chains to address common challenges and opportunities.

Critical minerals are an essential component to accelerating North America’s clean energy transition. Each country will review and map out existing and potential reserves of critical mineral resources in the region, while taking care of the environment, respecting local communities, and adhering to high ethical standards.

To support innovation, job creation, and workforce development, the three governments commit to working with the private sector, civil society, labor and academia across North America to foster high-tech entrepreneurship, promote small and medium-sized enterprises, and strengthen technical education. We will also consider trilateral approaches to promote sustainable, inclusive jobs and develop the workforce to meet our climate commitments.

Migration and Development

Today marks the six-month anniversary of the Los Angeles Declaration on Migration and Protection, a bold new framework for regional responsibility-sharing that 21 leaders endorsed on the margins of the Ninth Summit of the Americas. The three countries of North America each made ambitious commitments under the Los Angeles Declaration, including working together to advance labor mobility in North America, particularly regarding regular pathways, and have been delivering on these commitments.

Since June, Mexico, the United States and Canada have collectively welcomed record numbers of migrants and refugees from the Western Hemisphere under new and expanded labor and humanitarian programs. Today, we affirm our joint commitment to safe, orderly, and humane migration under the Los Angeles Declaration and other relevant multilateral frameworks. This includes assisting host communities and promoting migrant and refugee integration; providing protection to refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants; strengthening asylum capacity in the region; expanding and promoting regular pathways for migration and protection; addressing the root causes and impacts of irregular migration and forced displacement; and collaborating to counter xenophobia and discrimination against migrants and refugees.

Now more than ever, we need to identify and address the root causes of irregular migration and forced displacement. Mexico, the United States, and Canada commit to supporting countries across the Western Hemisphere to create the conditions to improve quality of life, especially in marginalized communities that are vulnerable to both forced internal and regional migration and displacement. To that end, we will continue to work together and with our respective private sectors to promote responsible business practices, implement obligations under the USMCA and international labor conventions, and cooperate to eradicate the use of forced and child labor in our supply chains.

Health

Trilateral health cooperation will focus on launching an updated North American Plan for Animal and Pandemic Influenza (NAPAPI) to improve prevention, preparedness, agility, and to provide rapid response to health emergencies in North America. The North American Health Security Working Group will develop and launch a new, revised NAPAPI as a flexible, scalable, and cross-sectoral platform to strengthen regional prevention, preparedness and response to a broader range of health security threats that include influenza and beyond. As we emerge from the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also recognize that resilient health systems, including a strong health workforce, are the foundation upon which effective pandemic preparedness and response will be built. We will continue efforts to build stronger and more resilient health systems that meet the broad range of health needs in our countries.

Regional Security

Mexico, the United States, and Canada will focus on strategies to bolster our shared continental security against domestic, regional, and global threats, including cyber threats. Security cooperation will continue to abide by our common understanding that respect for human rights and the rule of law contribute to a more secure North America. Our security cooperation includes actions to disrupt criminal actors and associated crimes across our shared borders, including money laundering, child sexual exploitation, firearms and human trafficking. We also are taking a consistent approach to the collection, use, processing, retention, and protection of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data to strengthen our shared security perimeter and the safety of our citizens, including advocating for the global adoption of standards and recommended practices of the International Civil Aviation Organization on PNR data.

We will continue our North American Drug Dialogue and further advance our cooperative international efforts to address the growing global synthetic drug threat as the United States takes the chair in 2023. We will enhance trilateral work to address the use of precursor chemicals in the production of illegal substances in North America and to disrupt drug trafficking, as well as strengthen public health approaches to prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery.

As both natural and human-induced hazards and disasters increase risks to vulnerable populations, we will continue to work together to share training and best practices to keep our people safe and address emergencies including natural and other disasters. Recognizing the differentiated impact disasters have on women and girls, we aim to integrate a gender perspective in these efforts.

Looking forward

The commitments made during this summit are rooted in a shared vision for a more equitable, just, inclusive, resilient, secure, and prosperous North America and a shared responsibility to achieve more equitable outcomes responsive to the needs and aspirations of our citizens. As we work to implement these commitments in the upcoming year, we seek to model a democratic and sustainable path based on trust to promote inclusive prosperity and security. Mexico, the United States, and Canada look forward to building on this progress at the eleventh NALS (NALS XI), to be hosted by Canada.

Its called the NWO and has been a plan for decades, just 2 different ways of getting there and the reason they call it the UNI party. I don't believe the majority of Americans want that no matter how dumb or short attention spans they have. 

We are told Americans are turned off by Trump.... maybe 

We are told Joe has done an exceptional job the last 2 years...see the pattern of mockingbird media 

In the end we get what we allow to happen, stumbling into the declaration of North America and ww3 and more endless proxy wars is exactly whats happening and fence riders will wake up once its too late. 

32 trillion debt spending 120% of GDP and the end of the petro dollar while the United States has become energy reliant and our manufacturing base halfway around the world is exactly the way the globalist gov't has dreamed of. And is a recipe for the US to collapse on its own 

You have a 4 star female woke General advocating central American counties to give their soviet era weapons to Ukraine and will be replaced with US modern weaponry🤡 countries included Cuba and Venezuela.....we will lose a major conflict in the future with this kind of logic and the Nikki Haleys of the world and the neocon wing who would sign off on this and won't do anything about it.

like I said I'll pass..... and there is a whole clown car full of them to be trotted out as the new boss but will be the same as the old boss (establishment)

Im guessing the hard push of Pence/Haley 🤡🤡💩

[rsbs]

Nikki Haley would probably be one of the few that would inspire me to stay home.

BA, have you been smoking something whacky?

No way is Haley electable after her track record. I don't know what makes her tick, and don't care to know. She is cut out of the same cloth as a John Mc Cain or a Mitt Romney, and as soon as she is on a ballot she will inspire the Bruce-Sheeps to come out like she is Satan, just like they did to the M and M boys.

So, she doesn't get any liberals, she loses the conservatives, but she might pick up 3 percent of the so-called silent independents.

I will pass. Next.

[BA Deere]

I thought... or rather "hoped" that the midterms would`ve been a rejection of wokeness because the electorate`s children being at stake.  Nope, the Dobbs decision and fatigue of rehashing past elections were deemed more paramount to whether their kids are taught to be gender confused, possibly mutilated in the future.   If these people think so little of their children, getting them to be concerned over the country`s finances is even more futile.  

Chamath, says in the All In pod something interesting about "being too concerned about the debt to GDP ratio", he says no magic number.  I personally figured that $6 Trillion was the point of no return and it probably is... if the goal was ever to get the country`s financial house in order.   However, Chamath is perversely correct that essentially "debt does not matter"  The US has the reserve currency (who else in the world would want the responsibility?)  therefore we can go for infinity upside down and underwater with debt multiple times higher than our GDP.  Whoever gets and keeps the White House and Congress gets to decide how the taxed and printed money is allocated to set the social agenda.  

We are in a "post election mattering era".     We occasionally slip a "Trump" past the goalie and he is embattled and eventually voted out.  Hell of it is, as good as Trump was, he was only 70% of an actual solution.  If Nikki Haley is our "man" better take her, because whatever is roaring behind the gates will be worse.   Nikki won`t take your guns and that`s about all we have left.  

[bruce MN]

What I said.  Thanks for the intense Cliff’s Notes. 

[BA Deere]

Red,  😀  read my dystopian rant to see where I`m coming from.    Right now, most of us Conservatives say "Trump or DeSantis no one else!!"  and i`m on board, however how will they fix the unfixable?  If DeSantis is a "wolf in sheep`s clothing" (in a good way) what can he do and get elected to a second term?  and that`s being optimistic that he wouldn`t get removed from office.  

To fix things would require sacrifice and unselfishness, I`m sorry, I don`t see any of that restraint and delay of self gratification from the majority of this populous.   

[dwillinois]

Dobbs decision??? The court gave it back to the states Lindsay Graham another SC dope was prancing around on fox and anywhere else saying 15 week ban on abortion...why????

Heavy D  might be a wolf in sheeps clothing ( in a good way) but neocon Nikki is more palatable ???

From my earlier post

Primary season is a ways off so couple of things, unless the RNC Learns to have a ground game and ballot harvest as the DNC does and will actually have more than one lawyer in battle the ground states this is all pointless. This would require establishment hero Rona to go carpetbag somewhere else, notice she is the approved darling in the media because she is Mitt's niece and will lose without blinking an eye.  Start here first

Your post

We are in a "post election mattering era".     We occasionally slip a "Trump" past the goalie and he is embattled and eventually voted out.  Hell of it is, as good as Trump was, he was only 70% of an actual solution.  If Nikki Haley is our "man" better take her, because whatever is roaring behind the gates will be worse.   Nikki won`t take your guns and that`s about all we have left. 

She will do what she will be told to do she will not be unselfish or sacrifice anything sorry just stating facts

If you want the 2.0 Bush/ Biden/ Obama she is you're gal, they didn't take your guns either but kept moving the goalpost closer to that goal it will soon be a chip shot and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, way to many gun owners and would be the red line crossed

(Nikki Haley would probably be one of the few that would inspire me to stay home.)

Don't ever remember 'my guy' ever making it through a primary and getting the nomination.......but if it's bide, buttegieg or newsom running against haley, pence, trump, younkin, hogan, noem, cruz, etc. I would not be inspired to stay home and giving buttegieg / newsom my default vote.
