POLITICAL THREAD

[Mdnerd]

According to this Gallop poll every single poll out there is significantly wrong. Their sampling sizes do not take this into account at all and Trump is likely winning in a huge way that lefties will never admit, and righties will be too afraid to say out loud. Party ID can’t shift by this amount and not turn everything on its head from what we thought we knew about the electorate.

2024 Election Environment Favorable to GOP

Most key measures of the political environment for the 2024 election favor the Republican Party over the Democratic Party.

"My problem is that they have just completely abandoned people like me that just want family friendly/traditional holiday fare. They have crapped on 50 years of tradition in the city.
It's their right to do it but I ain't paying for it when they offer nothing but the fringe stuff. How bout a little balance???"

Someone HONEST WITH THEMSELVES and others could imagine the non-fringe, moderate Christian and Jewish people in Germany were saying these same things privately in the early to mid 1930s and onward.

"How about a little moderation instead of this extreme, hateful, and potentially violent liberal, socialist, and or communist propaganda?"

Yes. We HAVE PASSED that point

This is really weird and disgusting. Let's air a segment with kids saying Donald Trump is 'pure evil'...shortly after the 2nd failed attempt on his life.

View embedded media

Yep.

Perfect example of body language giving away truth while the mouth speaks a lie. Bringing your hands to your mouth when speaking indicates a falsehood. The kid was coached/coerced to say this, which IS the PURE EVIL. They're building sociopaths from an early age these days

Somehow, in defiance of all logic and reason, Kamala appears to be getting WORSE/DUMBER. It begs the unnerving question: Just what IS rock bottom?

She is essentially a mynah bird. She can learn hundeds of words, and mimic human speech. For a few minutes it actually SEEMS like there is human intelligence there, but the illusion falls apart quickly.

She has fulfilled Jerzy Kosinski's tongue in cheek "prophetic" novel, Being There. It is uncanny.

 

[HymanKaplan]

This is horrifyingly close to an actual Kamala interview.

Socialism is absolutely restrained to Marxism. That's how it was invented, why it exists. It's an economic theory arising from his works. That's like saying, 'I know y'all say the sky is blue, but it's really red. Jews just corrupted the term red and associated it with blood, but I personally think the true association is with fluid, so it's the color of water too. So the sky is red, according to me.' He's completely redefining a term because he doesn't like who uses it and how popular it is. If I start calling my phone 'hotdog' because I think hotdogs are gross and am 'Taking the term back!', that doesn't mean my phone is actually a hotdog.

I seriously need a f***ing break from this place after the election. I've been reading Dion's "Naked Lunch" ramblings for so long that even though I disagree with them, from a distance, I'm starting to see the "connectives" 😮‍💨 😮

It will be over by 11:00 Eastern .. The lead will be so huge that there won't be enough ballots they can truck in late

This will be me if that is correct.

 

[HymanKaplan]

The prudent reaction if Trump wins, even if you're happy about it, would be to get out of the city for a while. LOL
If you're white, a man, and value your safety/car windows etc. it would be best to keep things on the DL for a while.

Or you could buy a used volvo station wagon (bonus points if it's got an old Mondale or Dukakis sticker on it) , a sweater vest, and some bow ties, and they'll leave you alone.

Any of you resident Libs care to translate your favorite candidates word salad into something comprehensible? Defend this. Tell us why you can listen to that and say “yeah, I’ll vote for her”. And I dare you to do it without mentioning Trump. Let her statements stand on their own merit.

 

[sambowieshin]

Some absolute smack in the face reality for Democrats, from your wind up robotic power base. Black men under 50 in particular are waking up to the shell game that you've been laying on them since the early 60's They are realilzing that Democrats are racist con artists.

This video is very interesting, but it's long. I would highly recommend watching all of it when you have time, but if you want to get to the juicy part, fast forward to about the 34:00 minute mark. 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

Democrats are such silly and stupid people.

Dems are racist but this isn't??? Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Trump says immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country.’ Biden campaign likens comments to Hitler.

Trump went on to say his criticism is of immigrants from all over the world, including Asia and Africa.

I’m actually considering buying a beater and covering it in Trump stuff and parking it at a local grocery store for a few weeks. Just to see what happens to it.

I love these little commercial snippets.

 

[sambowieshin]

I missed the big "theatre" debate it would seem. What's wrong, is some community acting group putting on "DreadLox Comes of Age on Fire Island" instead of A Christmas Carol?

Instead of Christmas Carol.... this is my option for a holiday play for my family. A GD play about a Goblin that blows out candles. 🤣
"Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins" ...
Description:
In this playful adaptation of the classic Caldecott Honor-winning children’s book, Jewish folk hero and trickster Hershel of Ostropol confronts the Hanukkah-hating goblins who keep blowing out the candles of every menorah in town. Can he outsmart these wicked creatures who haunt the old synagogue and restore the celebration of the Festival of Lights?
Fine with a Jewish play at Hanukkah. Not fine with trashing 50 years of tradition of showing a Christmas Carol. That's some BS. Put on both plays if they must do a Goblin play.

I have no problem with the play other than I have no other option for Christmas Carol which has been playing there for decades. Hell, I might even go to both if they were offered. But I am not going to any now because of them trashing tradition.

"Socialism is absolutely restrained to Marxism. That's how it was invented, why it exists. It's an economic theory..."

LMMFAO!!!

AND AS A THEORY it has been thoroughly debunked as completely impractical by myriad freaking failures. It is a straw man that liberals will keep humping until it falls apart and they have to order a replacement straw man on Amazon. It's amazing how freaking obvious this is to everyone with a functioning brain, but somehow eludes the liberal holding a molding and soggy straw man

 

[Girthang]

Criticizing illegal "immigrants" is not racist because they're not all the same.

Calling it "racist" to criticize illegal immigrants IS BIGOTED/RACIST because it assumes they are all the same "race." There are differing nationalities, pigments, and languages coming across the border illegally. Some of those are considered "white" by the racist left.

Try thinking without fallacies, falsehoods, emotion, and vagueries to prop up your arguments

At this point, considering the condition of our public schools, banning books is superfluous, because half of the fvcking kids have never been taught to read in the first place. And if they ARE reading, it's a lock that the book has pictures.

American voters: Always worried about the WRONG ****ing things; like abortion, dicks for chicks, who gets to use which bathroom, some POS former eastern bloc country that is run by a former nazi, to name a few examples.

The sad part is that Ky schools were actually really making progress and improving greatly until the far right took over the Republican party and far left put their grubby fingers on education. The far right has trashed teachers, pensions and funding while the far left was putting in programs that take time/energy away from basics and went away from disciplining students. The parents also became insufferable with blaming teachers for their own kid's misbehavior.
Now, nobody wants the job anymore because it sucks.
Schools are a reflection of our society....not the cause.
We are ALL to blame. Same for how we treat our cops.

For years he funded the schools and departments where they were all taught and trained. The only thing this does is take off the guise they were ever independent.

I know i post about it from time to time, but its worth discussing. I clearly remember after 9/11 these news companies were in dire financial straights. So bad, they were about to lose their offices etc. Then suddenly....all that just went away. About the same time they became hyper partisan and especially favorable to radical islam and china.

That is no coincidence.

Car shopping of late, and I went and talked price w/ the dealer. Unfortunately, they couldn't meet what I wanted, even when I told them I am from the middle class, and I have dreams and aspirations of owning this car. I even asked if they could look at the price holistically and they proceeded to throw me out.

KY retirement/pensions got destroyed by crooked Andy's crooked daddy. Bevin fixed it, despite the screams and moans from the teacher's union. I used to blame him for his lack of restraint against them when he lost to the current crook, but looking back, he was right all along. Now, crooked Andy is trying to recover from his own ignorance when he locked down schools and put education back at least a couple of years.

You should've just drove off with the car after explaining you were a dreamer, made a long journey to their dealership, and it would be xenophobic not to let you have the car.

Bevin did add some funding to it but didn't FIX anything.
He tried to eliminate it completely but failed.
Republicans eventually trashed the pension and replaced it with total dog sh**.
Now teachers can't get a decent pension OR Social Security.
Way to incentivize teaching. Crappy pay and a crappy retirement.
Can't believe they are having a tough time finding teachers or subs now.

If parents have the choice to pick their kids school and thus teachers, they would have no one to blame but themselves. As is, with monopoly public schools parents can take the perceived problems out on the teachers and there is no recourse. Net, vote YES on 2 !!!

Most likely it was one of Trump's own people or someone from his accounting firm which is why NYT is protecting the source. If the material was fake or false Trump would just release 1 year of older info to prove it. He's a bum ass conman and everyone in NYC has known that for decades. That is why all his debt is sourced through foreign banks. He has been living off of loans paid off with loans paid off with loans for a long time now. He tried to massively inflate his losses to stay afloat with the IRS and got caught and now owes them 100mil. what a loser.

I didn't ALWAYS disagree with him politically (but for the most part I did) , and despite the fact that he is a truly reprehensilble human being, it is easy to forget how f***ing great he was at "politics" in general. He could agree to switch positions with you in a debate and whip your ass with your own stuff. LOL

Love it. Trash the already underfunded public schools. The quicker we can burn it all down the better. It will be back to where it was eventually once all the idiots realize what a great thing this country had at one time with its public school system. It wasn't ever perfect but it was better than the sh** Republicans are trying to replace it with.
