I know the democrats are useless but that they can’t win against this lunatic is just chilling.

And there is every possibility he’ll won the electoral college again even if he loses the popular vote.

And even if he loses the college the chance of a contingent election in the house have to be super high with this Supreme Court.

Hope Canada has enough room and maple syrup for all us refugees come November. If not they might want to get moving on a wall.

We do, but you won't like where we put you.

On the other hand, the Canadian Right is watching the US and realizing their problem is that they haven't been radical enough. They are trying to change that.

Well, if the news media is on point, much of the young Democrat base is too busy protesting to “Free Palestine” to care all that much about the impending doom at home. 😑

He lays out a frightening vision of a second term. And it's not speculation, it comes from the things Trump actually says he will do. I honestly don't see how anyone can look at Trump and think he's the lessor of two evils.

Some people don't want the lesser evil as long it's others who suffer.

“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be”: a Trump voter says the quiet part out loud (2019)
In essence, Minton is declaring that one aim of the Trump administration is to hurt people — the right people. Making America great again, in her mind, involves inflicting pain.

This is not an accident. Trump’s political victory and continuing appeal depend on a brand of politics that marginalizes and targets groups disliked by his supporters. Trump supporters don’t so much love the Republican party as they hate Democrats, a phenomenon political scientists call “negative partisanship.” They like Trump not because he sells them on the GOP, but because they believe he’ll stick it to the Democrats harder than anyone else.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

It's abundantly clear that many are now comfortable with the thought of a king or dictator as long as it's their king or dictator. I don't think we can use that as a warning any longer.

What could go wrong?


And I thought the storyline for the prequel trilogy was ridiculous. Clearly people don’t need a well formed backstory and narrative n talk life anymore either.

It’s all reality tv politics now. The key is to be build a mentality where you are on the winning side, for now, to carry through as a survivor/player for the next episode. That it’s against your interest in the long term is irrelevant.

While trump presents a Kardashian styled or Apprentice styled Republican party reality tv show. They all seem to hate each other but each episode is expertly curated with chaos and problems that magically get solved last minute to extract and grift money from product placements.

The joke is of course the fraud was unnecessary as everyone voted for sideshow Bob anyway.





Anyway after you vote for trump try to look surprised when he wins.

Heh. Also the pay up sucka! tour ;)
Former President Donald Trump is returning to rally in a small New Jersey city that his campaign stiffed on a five-figure police and public safety bill in 2020.

Consider that a lesson learned for Wildwood, N.J.: This time, Trump's campaign needed to pay ahead of time for the rally Trump is hosting on Saturday at Wildwood Beach.

More like the Democrat politicians are too busy working for their Israeli bosses and supporting genocide than to listen to their base.

A poll I saw a couple of days ago said only 3% of voters considered Israeli/Palestine conflict was their top issue going into the election. Nobody gives a fuck over here, Victoria Raverna. What you see on the news is a fraction of a fraction of the US population that even knows what's going on.

Hopefully that is true. If not you'll have Trump for president next year.

3% is enough to make a difference, especially in an election where Biden is behind (if you believe the polls) or that it's going to be very close. As other people have noted, that's especially the case in Michigan. So whether they give a fuck or not about Israel/Palestine, Biden supporters should definitely be concerned about that 3%. Biden can't exactly be losing percentage points of voters either for or against his stance on Israel/Palestine -- and as Lord Mortis or El Guapo noted in another thread, the fear is that he ends up in some unhappy middle where no voter segment is particularly happy with his stance.

It is, but that's true of any issue when the race is close. I think his bigger worry is losing support among black/Hispanic voters.

It's not surprising. An issue? Sure. The top, king of the hill, A-number-one issue? In this, of all elections? No.

And again, American politicians have limited reach in this. Our system's too broken for us to work together, so whatever one hand starts to do, the other hand counters. It's an issue, but it's not an issue that is really under the control of anyone who might be elected this year.

ICYMI, MAGA world is now claiming that Biden tried to have Trump assassinated over the Mar A Lago docs case.

No, really.

They took the standard FBI disclaimer ("Officers may use deadly force if necessary") that applies to literally every single thing the FBI does, and are claiming that it was intentionally included by Biden so FBI agents would have the authority to take out Trump.

https://x.com/AshaRangappa_/status/1793088169593716885

Never mind that they told Trump in advance exactly when they were coming, coordinated everything through the Secrete Service, and specifically scheduled their trip when they knew he wouldn’t be there. Not that it'll stop the raving lunatics from continuing to claim that Dear Leader was personally targeted by Biden.

Several sitting members of Congress, along with Fox News and all the usual MAGA suspects are amplifying the claim today.

This complete lunacy is just off the goddamn rails.

It's positioning by creating false precedent so that when Trump is elected, he can do it to any political rivals. All their baseless accusations are either projection or positioning.

It starts with "Hey, you can't to that thing [that you're not actually doing]!"
It ends with, "Of course I can do this thing because you did it [even though you didn't]!"


The smallest whiff of truth, like a misinterpreted warrant, is all it takes.

She hasn't endorsed him (yet) beyond saying she'll vote for him. She hasn't urged her followers to do the same.

"As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who's going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account,"

Lessee, TFG threatened to kick NATO to the curb, cozied up to NK, and admired Putin. Odd definition of allies and enemies there, Nikki.

I can't even stand to watch these fucktards get pressed on anything anymore. They have zero facts on their side so they resort to talking over the interviewer and constantly deflecting. Every. Single. Time. The only thing he didn't do is raise his voice, which is their third go-to.
