UNHINGED.


@ggreenwald

Imagine how mentally broken you must be to think that Trump is going to take this lesbian couple and put them on Nazi-like trains on their way to the new American Auschwitz.

This is what MSNBC and the NYT op-ed page have done to people's brains, and it's sad and wrong:

@aintscarylarry

Lesbians for trump. Talk about people who don’t realize they’ll be the first on the trains.

Thanks, Glenn. The hate I've received from the 'tolerant left' has been enlightening but not surprising. They truly are brainwashed beyond repair.

Oh, trust me, I have no doubt: nothing is more intensely racist, hateful, bigoted, homophobic, or misogynistic than the bile spewed by liberals whenever someone from the "marginalized groups" they believe they own don't snap into line behind the Democratic Party.

Let's be fair, if both sides are the same, as some are happy to pontificate about at length, then a pedophile rapist is surely better than a woman of color?

"Pedophile rapist"? Bill Clinton isn't running, just helping the Genocide Machine run smoothly...

The 2 posts (before Sonic's reply) are further exhibits/examples corroborating the point of this thread.


"pedophile rapist" -- if you're going to go there, both Biden and Clinton have more tangible/plausible cases to be labeled 'pedophile rapists' than whatever can be presented against Trump, on this specific charge.

And voting for a candidate based primarily (or entirely) on sex or external complexion, rather than accomplishments, presentation or qualifications* is not only stupid, but potentially harmful to the collective.

*even if only pantomimed, but Kamala can't even fake being competent. And then of course there's the VP candidates. One is demonstrably more inept in several respects than the other.

We've truly reached the Idiocracy phase of talking points here.

Surely there are many (actual rather than cartoonish nonsense that pass for most 'Dem' Party scare-mongering) negatives to Trump. But any (objective-minded) person -- and this certainly includes women -- is insulted by the prospect of someone as incompetent, compromised and unqualified as Kamala being presented as an option for President (putting aside, of course, that she was installed as a candidate and won 0 delegates -- the opposite of "democracy" as far as process).

As I typed elsewhere, it's a LOSE / LOSE for the citizenry. Here's a reminder via an excerpt of what I typed in another thread recently, lest anyone with mediocre reading comprehension attempt to ascribe me as a (gasp!) 'Trumper':

...the Election outcome will be Lose / Lose for the citizenry. I anticipate certain events looming in the coming year (perhaps a long-anticipated market crash, some form of massive EMF solar flare event, etc). Or merely the continuation of the Clown Show as presented in earnest since ~2019.

Of course I may be wrong about all or some of the above.

We shall see.


I must add, however: Kennedy -- albeit another flawed/compromised candidate -- on the Trump ticket makes it FAR more appealing than, say, Kamala and CHENEY.

Kennedy will at least implement certain changes with respect to FOOD (minimizing extent of pesticides/processed ingredients), PHARMA waiver of liability issues and/or allowing for exemptions from any/ALL "vaccines" (etc), and also environmental issues -- if we take his campaign promises at his word, that is.

Really? The guy who was openly drooling over his own underage daughter, who liked to walk in on naked teenagers when he owned the Miss Universe pageant (this is where your alarm bells should be going off, especially considering the next part), who was pals with, and has been pictured with Epstein more often than any other celebrity, who was caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women, who has been accused of rape, sexual assault or sexual harassment by over twenty women since the seventies?

Biden and Clinton (why are you even bringing him up? He's not been in office for decades) may be old creeps, but Trump is in a league of his own.

And voting for a candidate based primarily (or entirely) on sex or external complexion


I hope you meant sex as in gender, otherwise I sincerely hope you're aware there's a difference between rape and sex.

Trump is a fucking repulsive human being. He's also dumb as fuck, incompetent, a raging narcissist, and judging by what comes out of his mouth, not all there. If all you can come up with against Harris is that she's incompetent she's still leagues ahead of Trump. Besides, you already did a trial run with Trump; you already know what he's like: stack the courts with Federalist Society fuckheads to screw over women and minorities, cut taxes for the rich, gut what's left of education and every regulatory agency, etc.

As for Vance and Waltz: Waltz is seemingly competent, maybe a little boring, which is good. Vance was groomed and paid for by Thiel (the Palantir guy, remember?) and will act as a direct line for the worst of the worst of the Silicon Valley crowd. He pals around with people like Curtis Yarvin ffs.

Internationally it will be the same shitshow whoever wins, maybe with some variations in tact and where exactly things go boom, but domestically Trump and the Sofa King will absolutely screw you over harder and faster than Harris and Waltz ever will.

I don't live in the US, so really don't care if Americans get the long and slow screw or the fast one. I think the Democratic Party is still fully Clintonista, so that's why he his relevant. And really

it won't matter if it takes a month or six or even a few years, WW3 kinda trumps "let the trans folk serve in the military and the CIA". Also, I don't want to get bogged down in an argument about how much the Dems have never really even tried to make truly progressive moves, from healthcare and abortion to stopping the militarization of the police and dismantling the prison industrial complex, and thus finding no real differences in the parties even domestically.

At the end of the Selection Day, Harris/Walz means Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Blackrock etc. in regards to domestic policy:
The business leaders that Kamala Harris could recruit for her Cabinet

Billionaire business leaders and Silicon Valley elites are throwing their support behind Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in ways both loud and quiet.
And either candidate, if elected, is likely to lean on the business sector in building their respective Cabinets.
Trump has already confirmed Elon Musk would have a role in his administration. And while Harris has her own ties to Wall Street, it appears two key surrogates may be out of contention.
Mark Cuban initially floated interest in leading the SEC, but told ABC Sunday that he has "no interest in serving in the Cabinet." Additionally, Harris' brother-in-law, the Uber executive Tony West, is currently on leave to assist with the campaign, but plans to return to work after the election.
https://archive.md/cJClf#selection-1473.0-1473.69

See the link for the full list.

Here's possible Trump cabinet members but tbh I don't think Trump will have much say, and it will basically be Jared pulling the strings - with a dose of Thiel indeed. This article is from May and there is of course talk now of his new-found sycophants like RFK jr., Musk, Gabbard, Vibek etc. being given high-level positions but I think they might be cast aside after the election. Or quit soon after starting, as a lot of Trump appointees have done in the past.

https://archive.md/lgO6E

That Gollum Stephen Miller will certainly be given a position. Charlie Kirk is claiming that Pompeo will be in charge of Israel. Will he aid and abet genocide more than the step-son of the lawyer to Ghislaine Maxwell's Mossad father?

Among the most virulent indicators of how far afield the Democratic Party has gone is this scenario. For years, many of us, in the anti-war-all-the-time camp, thought of Cheney and every other neocon chickenhawk, as the epitome of losers.
They would proclaim the greatness of war, clamor for the "justified" bombing and killing of any who stood in their way. (And many who didn't, but I digress.) We *always* felt they could only act this way because they were safe from having to actually duck the first bullet. I felt (and said) the same things about Bush II, who managed to avoid active duty via these same mechanisms, typically enjoyed by his ilk. In a shocking moment of philosophical whiplash, The Orange Man draws a similar comparison to another Cheney chickenhawk, and pearl clutching ensues across the airwaves.

It's staggering to watch, especially since I was part of the group who was saying this. Now to watch these people turn around and faint with horror when Trump says the same exact thing is suffocating: the stench of their shameless dishonesty could choke an elephant to death:

@RealSamRogers

Democrats spent 25 years saying that Dick Cheney's kids should have to go fight in a war and all it took was Donald Trump agreeing with them to change their minds.

Today’s social media posts served as confirmation that large swaths of the country comprise emotionally-unstable, reality-denying, accountability-dodging, authority-craving, bubble-dwelling, critical-thought-devoid, logic-impervious, narcissistic children.

The tantrums and hysteria were absolutely epic.

The only reasonable explanation is that they are literally brainwashed.

It’s like we’re living through a slightly more subtle zombie apocalypse.

Let’s check in on super liberal bookstagram and see how they’re reacting to Trump’s loss…

Oh. Crowdsourcing a black list of bookstagrammers who seem conservative. Normal stuff.

More than a fair share of self-described “liberals” and/or “progressives” are closet fascists, as clearly observed overtly since ~2021.
The quotes are placed to differentiate between currently brainwashed versions of such self-described people vs. those that realize the hypocrisy of the current-era mania/delusions among this demographic.
