I own a f***ing vintage SLIDE RULE (and know how to USE It) 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄

You say here it will come from hard work. So why do they need your inherited assets to accomplish that? Why not just the hard work?

So people like you that dont work hard or make excuses as to why others are better off than you dont get to reap the benefits of the assets I created. The taxes I pay on an annual basis help cover people like you but your government has forgotten about you (until election season) and sending billions upon billions to Ukraine. I am working hard to instill in my kids what the benefits are when you do that and they will live a happy life with my assets and what they accomplish as well.

Are you not upset that your current government has forgotten you but not Ukraine? They need to concentrate on the US citizens first and then they can worry about others later. I take care of my own first and worry about others later, because I pay taxes and that unfortunately do not stay within our country.

What do you do for a living?

Our media always tries to out pathetic itself:

Alinsky's Rules

1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
2. "Never go outside the experience of your people."
3. "Whenever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy."
4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
8. "Keep the pressure on."
9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

If you bother to read them, you'll see that some of them are confusing, goofy, and dull. Even bureaucratic. And you'll also see that they're different from Rove's. Alinsky's were a framework to organize the poor. Rove's are to take power.

Alinsky's Rules

I've read them, more than wikipedia, but claim no expert in them. That is your side. Rove's principles that you mentioned are very similar in idea, just different wording for a grease board rather than a book.
"Alinsky's were a framework to organize the poor. Rove's are to take power." Distinction without much of a difference IMO.

Huh. The poor have so much power. I didn't know that.

My Voter ID position is one of economic situation and constitutionality because of that. Any element of race involved is just because of how racist our country's been to put minorities in worse economic position.

Holy cow! You can't make this shit up.

 

[Dionysus444]

He also knew the dangers in totalitarian regimes. Which his most noted works are about. He most likely was smart enough to understand socialism was a nice concept but would be impossible to implement due to human greed and lust for power. As has been proven over and over and over again. But true humanitarians like you and the 2 queefs who liked your post think they will be the ones to get it right.

Orwell was a dedicated socialist who almost died fighting for the cause. Spent his entire life and career writing and fighting for it. He’d argue for it to you until the cows came home. To the Animal Farm.

Hard to feel for the guy when the only reason he was in the position in the first place was cheating.

Isn't about him. It's about the power cabal's ruthlessness. BTW, F him.

 

[Dionysus444]

I "MAY" be correct? LOL

I'm absolutely correct. I promise you. 🧐

I've had to retract some things occasionally on here, but that will NEVER happen when it comes to math. LOL

Although Dion has tried to argue mathematics with me occasionally, but you can guess how that worked out.

(I'm just poking fun. Like I've said on here before, I do math problems on a chalkboard in my den, FOR FUN. So, at the end of the day, I'm probably the biggest loser on this board. LOL)

I mean, I have a collection of first edition math textbooks, for f***'s sake. LOL

I was definitely out of my depth in that conversation; like I said at the time, haven’t done any real math since HS. Ticking .9 to 1.0 grams on the scale with a spoon for the 247th sample that day doesn’t really count lol.

So will a guy making say $250K/yr be able to change to working for min. wage with a $225K/yr tip?

 

[Dionysus444]

So people like you that dont work hard or make excuses as to why others are better off than you dont get to reap the benefits of the assets I created.

Ok so the real reason is what you state here? That you don't like certain other people and would rather burn everything you have in a big pile like Heath Ledger's Joker than see them benefit from it. Exactly as I already said, you're welcome to whatever motivations you want, just be clear-eyed about them.

I am working hard to instill in my kids what the benefits are when you do that and they will live a happy life with my assets and what they accomplish as well.

So, again, why do they need both if the hard work is enough?

The taxes I pay on an annual basis help cover people like you but your government has forgotten about you (until election season) and sending billions upon billions to Ukraine.

Are you not upset that your current government has forgotten you but not Ukraine? They need to concentrate on the US citizens first and then they can worry about others later. I take care of my own first and worry about others later, because I pay taxes and that unfortunately do not stay within our country.

I completely agree we need different priorities with our tax dollars. I'm a far lefty, who advocates for a complete reform of basically every government institution. Our tax dollars should absolutely be helping those in need. Some of those in need at the moment happen to be Ukrainians, lying bloody and thrashing on the field of battle.

What do you do for a living?

Materials testing. Minerals. Mostly coal. Further details available upon request. You?

Mine is circa 1966. Post Versalog. Like $40-50 at the time. Damn expensive thing. But get the first two digits right on engineering test problems with it & you aced it. Still have it somewhere.

The Trump campaign “Continues to struggle to get it’s message out”.

Gee, I wonder why that is. You all have a massive all day orgasm fest over Kamala, give Trump zero airtime. Censor him at every turn, cut off his speeches, suppress anything but negative articles about him on Google and other search engines.

What is Kamala’s message by the way? The scripted one she’s been reading at every rally that has zero substance, nothing in policy whatsoever? That message?

My view on Rugg is that he’s a joke/clown.

He basically reposts news that other people break and has somehow gained a following for it.

He’s also “pro” California.

He states in that thread that he commissioned his own poll, which showed Harris with ~ 1 pt national lead, as a way of supporting the idea that these battleground state polls that show her with a lead are legitimate.

Again, Harris with a 1 pt lead nationally does not bode well for her in a state-by-state contest.

The idea that defending this country beyond our borders isn't a very good thing astounds me repeatedly.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Told 4 minority women to go back to their country. Yea not racist and xenophobic at all. Of course besides that fact that Trump is to stupid to know that 3 of the 4 were born in the US. So he really just shit on himself since he told them to fix their shithole countries, aka the USA, the country he runs. If you want to pretend he hasn't doubled and tripled on what is very calculated race baiting then thats your prerogative. He heavily miscallculated on this move

Meanwhile, back in the real world....



Her 15 minutes of fame hopefully expires soon. Stay tuned.

So, Republicans did opposition research on JD Vance. Let's call it that Jell-o Dossier. Anyway, apparently someone in the RNC who had the Jell-o Dossier on his computer was sent an email with a link in it. What has every tech savvy person in the universe told you about emails with links? They're hacking attempts. Forward them to the authorities or delete them. But above all: DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

As you all know and as Fate would have it, that person clicked the link. And so the world has the Jell-o Dossier.

Personally, unless there are literal bodies in his basement, nothing in Vance's Jello-Dossier is going to top what we know of him from his own words. Multiple names. Multiple religions. Multiple sexualities. Multiple takes on Cheeto Mussolini. And he invented a grandmother who burned her husband with gasoline. (Not to mention his fascination with couches.)

Rather have any of that than cities burning and Covid snitch lines to inform on your neighbors for cutting the grass without a mask.

Well yeah, because worrying about our own borders instead of a non-Nato country's borders seems rational.

Seriously? @Dionysus444, @Nightwish84 @DreadLox @sambowieshin @sammysdad05, thoughts please? Actors? Really? How phony do you really have to be to fool the mindless sheep? You think needing to hire actors and literally pay people to attend your rallies shows that your party is really what the American public wants to lead it going forward?

Secret Service hints it wasn’t behind salon break-in during Kamala Harris campaign event

The U.S. Secret Service on Sunday hinted it wasn't involved in a break-in of a hair salon during a Kamala Harris campaign event in Massachusetts late last month.

If they didn’t do it then why apologize?

Would you endure 4 years of Kamala in exchange for UK Football winning the National Championship?

No. I love UK, but I value my country and mine and my families livelihoods more. I’ll gladly keep going to Music City and The occasional Citrus Bowl over living in a Globalist hellscape.

Some of you -- well, maybe 2 -- might remember when I quoted Karl Rove 3 Little Rules for politics.

1) Attack your opponent's strength from your weakness
2) Accuse your opponent of doing what you're doing.
3) Be worse than anyone can imagine.

As witness: JD Vance who has had multiple names, multiple religions, multiple sexualities, and opposite views on Donald Trump has accused Harris and Walz of not being at home in their own skins. A man who has more personalities than a wind sock in a hurricane has accused someone else of not being at home in their skins.

AND

After giving the most tepid defense of his wife earlier in the campaign, he has accused the happily married Walz of not loving his own wife. To make a pun off the title of a WW2 movie, A Fib Too Far.

TDS, the disease of the weak-minded liberal. AKA the brain eating disease. I heard the WHO can help you with that. They'll move you to a third world country if you don't get your way here.
