The Politics Thread

[DRW50]

Just disgusting.

 

 

The media loves to talk about conservatives being betrayed by the Supreme Court, but they never have a word to say about the Court continuing to advance voter suppression.

 

 

I won't link to the ads but I see that the GOP are running ads in urban parts of PA blasting Biden for the crime bill. This goes along with so many operatives who infest black websites encouraging black voters not to vote. The worst part is there are so many ex-Bernie bros who are giddily, actively pushing this narrative without being paid a dime. I don't think most of those being targeted will go along, but with such active voter suppression, even a slim shift would be enough to make a difference. 

 

A few articles on Trump's bad week/month and campaign changes as a result.

I keep seeing endless fawning over Tucker Carlson all over social media, and various articles pushing him for President in 2024. The news that Peter Thiel is close to abandoning Trump make me wonder if he's behind any of this. (and yet again, fake leftists like grifter Krystal Ball and Ryan Grim are also involved).

Jones County is not far from where my family is in Mississippi. (Parker Posey grew up there.) Agreed on the disgust.

I see that Trump had a hate rally tonight and I see that Mary Hart is yet another has-been who would happily watch people like me die.

 

She can go to the same purgatory of worthlessness as Baio, Dean Cain, Kristy Swanson, and that ilk.

 

[!@#$%^&*] all of them, now and forever.

More money wasting and kickbacks and shameful huckster games. Just the most desperate pandering imaginable (and it may work for all I know). The only bright spot is if more people finally start to know the truth about Billy Graham.

Kanye West announces that he is running for POTUS.

Sure, why not? Trump has the US on life support. Let this wacko kill us completely.

[DRW50]

 

This is such a transparent ploy to help Trump. They're counting on a lot of younger voters and black voters to support Kanye and go along with the idea that Trump and Biden are just alike. And the media will wag their tails like needy dogs as it's a sexier story; it also helps distract people from Trump being so incoherent that he spends his half-empty hate rally blathering about "swipiang and sweeping" in Vietnam and Desert Storm. 

 

If his campaign has anyone sensible amongst the grifters, they will blackball anyone who thought it made ANY sense to try to run the dementia campaign that the Bernie bros were running.

I figured Ye was just trying to sell something and needed extra publicity, but this makes even more sense.

That's probably part of it (although it's hurt his sales, apparently). The way Elon Musk, a Trump supporter who is reeling from the Epstein story coming back into the news, immediately jumped onboard made me even more suspicious. 

 

The sad thing is it's already worked, even if nothing else is done. A lot of younger voters are wary of Biden and the Democratic Party, and don't feel they have anything to lose if they have a laugh and vote for Kanye. Between this and Trump and the media managing to make the statues a bigger story than the economy or COVID or the bounties on American troops, they have all the pieces in place for the Trump comeback arc and Democrats being on the backfoot. If we soon get some "shocking" polls showing him and the GOP up in various places, then the fix will really be in.

[DRW50]

Not that it's a surprise, but the list of orgs and people bailed out by the sham PPP is infuriating.

^ Wow. What a slap in the face to every American, but especially the people who are seeing their small businesses fold.

This video. With the children behind barbed wire fence, ugh. Anyone who votes for him in November has no conscience.

This story absolutely infuriates me. Just when you thought Rump couldn't sink any lower:
