Jimmy Dore played the Oprah bit.

While I sat there watching the sitting VP, & possibly future P, discharge a continuous spew of essentially meaningless gibberish, reality gave a little hiccup and I momentarily felt like I was back, sitting next to my dad, while my acid addled brain made the TV grow legs & start walking towards me.

I've been feeling that way a lot lately.

Possibly? LOL.. Please. She's going to obliterate pumpkin head Biden's numbers. Didn't you know she's the greatest candidate for President in the history of the United States? She single handedly is going to save the planet from all the hate, and misinformation.

I jest, but legitimately. She's going to garner 90 million votes and walk away with the popular and electoral college. But don't you worry, this is the last election we'll ever have to worry about the electoral College.

You’re a racist and a woman-hater. The only way civilization survives is if the country you “love” is destroyed and replaced by the one Harris, Oprah, and I want to see.

It's nice to see that Holocaust Harris & Oprah Of God have at least one true believer in their corner.

Sadly, I fear that the two of them wouldn't give a tinker's toot if you fell feet first into a meat grinder but hey, unrequited hero worship is something, right?

So how many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?

All Karen has is the "you're a woman hater" line. Mostly due to her severely stunted intellect, and her payment per word to be a shit eating troll.

Never take anything she says seriously.

She thinks my Korean War vet father is a racist, terrorist, Russian disinformation asset, fascist, woman hating monster.

I have the receipts to prove it.

In fact, if you don't embrace Knee Pads Kamala, you're an unrepentant, unsavable woman hating Nazi.

Alright sugarplum, I haven't voted for one of these corporate approved shithead candidates in decades. I have one reason & one reason only to vote for Trump. Libradoodie Democrats have been such lying, gaslighting, fear & war mongering crackpotss for so fucking long that they deserve, more than anything else in the whole wide world, to spend the next 4 years having their runny noses rubbed in a big orange pile of Trump.

If you dumb fucks think that you have any moral or intellectual currency after you shoved a senile guy into the Oval Orifice & then played make believe about his non-existent tack sharpness while he staggered us up to the brink of annihilation the lot of you are delusional.

We both know that if the DNC nominated a Buick as Joe's 2024 replacement the whole liberal world would be chanting "BUICK...BUICK...BUICK" as the lot of you jumped up & down, clapping & barking like seals.

I left the Democrats after voting for Obama the liar twice. When Obama dismantled Occupy Wall Street, I opened my eyes after decades of them being shut. I saw that the Clinton's abandoned the working class for the Banking Elite and slowly morphed into the NeoCons.

I still won't vote for Republicans, but I can now admit that Democrats are very much the greater of two evils. The Democrats want complete control over everything you do. Neither side is Hitler, and neither side is completely communist. While there are many Marxists among the ranks, the true nature of the Democrats and the world they want for us is Mao's China.

I escaped the Obama train once I started avoiding videos of his speeches and just read the transcripts.

Without his preacher-like cadences & his cult-like army of shrieking sycophants it read like very well written bullshit.

I do think it was a brilliant move by the upper classes to fund his campaign &, on some level, probably arrange his selection. The shit he did, buying up lily white guys bad paper & making sure lily white guys got all of their obscene bonuses & making sure that lily white guys got access to all the free money they wanted, would never have been possible with McCain. But having a black dude do it literally derailed most white liberal criticism.

They are the leaders of an administration. Harris will hire people who recognize reality and Trump will hire ass-kissers, fascists, and religious nuts. RFK jr, he of the large collection of rotting animal carcasses, wants to put depressed people in Gulags and ban vaccines. There’s also Trump’s signature policy of seizing and deporting millions of dark-skinned people. It’s a choice between reasonable people on one side and bigots, grifters, and loons on the other.

Expand full comment

I am so sorry, you have been under the influence of all of the misinformation available. While I do agree with your ass-kisser assessment of Trump, the rest is.. well.. sad. Harris will hire nobody. She will control nothing, she will simply be the same face Biden has been for years.

I am sure you are scared of Project 2025 as well. Perhaps you should look up Agenda 2030, and how far along that is. Agenda 2030 is where we are heading, and it won't matter if it's Republicans, or Democrats. Sadly, the only thing I will say is that 4 years of Trump (which will not, and cannot, happen) would delay it in this country for 2 or 3 years.

Also, you are right. As a former life long Democrat and STILL an Actual Liberal, the Bigots, Grifters, and Loons are going to run the show. The problem you fail to realize is... the Bigots, Grifters, and Loons are actually more Democrat now. The Democrats are the party of racism, and have been for several years now. The Democrats are the only ones that are actively trying to divide people based on race. So much so, they have now classified Hispanics as white. Probably because they didn't fall in line with the ideology. As Malcom X once said. At least with a Clan member (who I'll grant you, is more likely to have an R behind their name), you know where they stand. It's the White elite Democrats that will stab you in the back.

Seriously, tell me where we’re going to find replacements for the people doing those awful jobs? At what wages? If you think inflation is bad NOW, how much are you willing to pay for a salad?

Also, how are you going to find every single undocumented person? The Trump Gestapo isn’t going to care very much about the niceties of due process, so we’ll see thousands of American citizens deported just because assholes like you can’t stand the thought of a country with something other than white people in it.

I’m sorry, but I don’t do drugs and there isn’t enough booze in North America for me to think Trump is funny. I hate bullies and Trump’s ‘humor’ is nothing but bullying. HE MADE FUN OF A DISABLED REPORTER’S DISABILITY!!! Mocking disability is about as loathsome behavior as humans can do. And please spare yourself the trouble of gaslighting me that he wasn’t mocking the disability. I saw that clip many times and the ONLY interpretation is that Trump was making fun of the reporter’s clenched arms.

For 5 years, the FBI couldn’t comment on Hunter Biden’s laptop. An ongoing investigation. The July attempt? Not a word. Now this letter is rushed out to the media. WTF is correct

Expand full comment

About the WTF, just a guess.... The first two charges against Roush were having a gun while a paroled felon, and eliminating the serial number on the gun. To get him on an assasination attempt need some evidence that's why he was there. I had heard that in FL, an open carry state, Roush could have sat there all day on the outside of the fence on a public sidewalk craddling his AR 15 (by photos, that appears to be where he was, otherwise they would have hit him with trespassing and there were no holes in the fence). If stopped, he could have said, taking a walk and just resting here. After arrest, he could have said the same thing, claiming his gun was simply leaning on the fence (did SS overreact to seeing a muzzle? A few weeks ago everyone was saying the SS was incompetent, did it make them trigger happy? Good thing nobody was walking their dog past that spot on the sidewalk when he started shooting) and Roush could have claimed he got out of there when they started shooting at him. I think to quell that possible angle, releasing info that he did intend to shoot Trump seems like a good idea.

Expand full comment

Seems the items collected from the snipers nest with his fingerprint was sufficient to sustain the charges. The entire letter encouraging others to complete the task did not need to be released. Evidently they don’t put much stock in the public need to know in the other cases.

Actually they are far from dumb: they are the worst grifters in quite a while, and as long as middle class "F*ck you! I got mine" people get their thanks to rapidly rising house prices and rents and stock market prices they are going to vote for more of the same, and "Screw everybody else!".

Last week Jill ran the first cabinet meeting held in a year and she isn't a member of the cabinet. This weekend, after watching Biden aimlessly shout out "WHO"S NEXT?!" when he was supposed to introduce Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi, I started getting the feeling that the October Surprise might just be Kamala getting sworn into office as #47.

The President is clearly non compos mentis, whats to prevent the powers that be from telling him, "Joe it's time to step down?" They already coerced him into dropping out of the race and they sure don't trust voters to deliver a Harris victory - not with the polls as close as they are. So maybe they'll just make her the 47th president, just like they made her the presidential nominee without a single primary vote.

With all the conflicts going on around the world at present who knows if they'll just use that as the pretext for suspending the elections altogether once they get her into the White House.

I put nothing past them, not after watching how they installed her as the nominee. What better way to cause chaos and upheaval a few weeks before the election than to totally confuse the electorate right before the majority of them go to vote.

At this point, nothing would surprise me. They could do anything from staging an invasion by aliens from space, to faking the Second Coming of Christ.

Expand full comment

What has happened to this country?

Generations of college students have been confused by their neo-Marxist feminist teachers, told it is morally right to hate white people and men, especially white men, and that sex is as changeable as one's socks, and anyone who thinks different is a bigot or possessed by a variety of phobias that are really heresies against their secular, incoherent religion and unredeemable, not even by total confession and recantation. This same religion also insists that the nation's history consists only of injustice and evil, so the appropriate attitude is resentment and glee in the destruction of everything in the name of nada. Nada y nada y mas nada.

Trump happened. He was elected by the forgotten people who do the actual work of the country and is about to be reinstalled if the forces arrayed to destroy him fail. His existence is a continual irritation to the duped, the deluded, and the permanent party of unelected paper shufflers who really run the nation's bureaucracies. These creeps--especially those in the lickspittle press whose utter worthlessness and vanity was revealed by Trump's election--will not rest until they get their revenge for 2016.

As many people are beginning to understand, it's not so much Trump the flawed aging huckster that we want to elect but the idea of him--the bull in the china shop, unbeholden to the cabal of unelected gauleiters of the Alphabet Agencies, that will begin the reforms we need to survive as a republic.
