US Politics, September 2024 -- “I’m Not Going to Apologize For Posting a Joke”

i am not trying to claim that Ohio was a paradise

my impression is that this is the result of 'outside agitators' rather than Ohio residents? it seems the Haitian population has been fairly well accepted in Springfield, tempered by concerns about inadequate infrastructure, schools, etc.

JD Vance is a trad cath convert who probably goes to some off-brand Opus Dei Latin Mass place where they wear capes (that is a a thing, apparently) and jibber in Latin.

He probably is a sede vacantist, too

Someone should ask Vance whether or not his wife should have the right to vote.

you need this press conference in your life...

Low energy, not exciting at all. Sad!

I can't believe he's in California... I knew something smelled funny this morning

you should've added a trigger warning to that: it's Trump doing his usual deranged rambling, but LIVE!

unfortunately there's developed this whole Ayn Rand-ian strata of tech bros here in CA now (Thiel, Musk, etc.), vile people

this is just his extended intro. he will be taking questions from all the best people.

RADICAL LEFT MARXIST FACIST

This Haitians-eating -pets thing is TIP of the iceberg when it comes to the horribleness in OH that I’m referring to. I don’t have the time nor energy to list the ways.

she wants to dismember ice

BREAKING

Sources close to Jared and Ivanka say that privately, the couple opposes making bomb threats to elementary schools.

Okay he just claimed that the Biden administration has chartered flights full of 'illegal aliens' INTO the U.S.

there's some of that invaluable Loomer intel

He's still angry at David Muir

when he says that people from 168 countries have come into the country all i can say is: think of the food trucks! #win/win

lol, david muir's hair was better 5 years ago. quite the tidbit there.

he's really going after the FBI - history has shown again & again that's not a wise thing to do

Still too scared to go after the CIA. Their shooters don’t miss.

Oh, is this asshole still blathering on?

(Trump in Cali, not anyone on this thread)

he just said "aeroplane" and pronounced the "o"

he does that! like monty burns.

'Laura Loomer is welcome on my fabulous flying machine any time!'

Many xxxxposts but my girlfriend asked me to explain who Laura Loomer is, so I was revisiting old ILX posts, found this tweet and cracked up

police inform Laura Loomer that Twitter isn't pressing charges and she can stay chained to their door as long as she wants

Oh, I bet she’s welcome to

all the questions are about Loomer! lol

"She's a free spirit"

did he say he doesn't know her, never met her?

In a grade 7 class right now, they're working, and I've got this on low volume. Conservative southwestern Ontario town (Letterkenny town)--I know at least 50% of their parents are Trump people.

"We call it a caravan..."

lol, "a lot of states don't have Pacific Oceans"

True, that.

It would be hilarious if one of the boats in the background started blasting the Beyonce song the Harris/Walz campaign favors while he’s talking

"The smelt is not making it anyway"

OMG

A harsh toke for the smelts

lmao Truth Social just went up 12% because Trump said he's not gonna sell it, these dumb motherfuckers

25% now!! fuckin lol

Ok one more thing about Loomer, isn’t one of Trumps central traits that he’s perpetually horny? And isn’t it incredibly obvious that his own wife won’t give him the time of day?

wtaf i can't believe i had to read this i am so upset

believe me I didn't like posting it

“Not long ago, the current Heritage president, Kevin Roberts, was triumphantly promising a “second American revolution” and darkly declaring that it would be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.” Steve Bannon floated him as a possible White House chief of staff.

That was before Project 2025 was turned into a campaign issue by Harris — and disavowed by Trump. Last weekend, the 922-page playbook became quite possibly the first think tank paper in American history to appear in TV spots during NFL games, naturally via a scathing negative ad.

For the Heritage old guard, the bill of complaints against Project 2025 dovetails with broader gripes about Roberts, a culture-war intellectual who has dramatically reoriented the foundation in a populist, pro-Trump direction.”

just found out that the drummer in my first band was just arrested for Jan 6th! 3+ years after it happened.. his girlfriend as well (apparently she was the main inspiration behind his political, eh, 'transformation'). A pre-dawn raid no less

I'd heard that he'd gone Trumpy but I had no idea about this... a mutual friend told me that rumors had been floating for awhile, but he swore up & down that they didn't enter the building... the photos clearly show that they did

fucking crazy

i know people say texas is a waste of time, but what if ... alaska

Q:  If the November 2024 general election for US President was held today, for whom would you vote?

Among 1,254 LV's:

Donald Trump 47 (48)
Kamala Harris 42 (44)
Robert Kennedy Jr 5 (4)
Undecided 6 (5)

"yup, I'm still gonna vote for RFK Jr, he's my man!"

The news of his dropping out has been held up at the Canadian border.

25% now!! fuckin lol

Trump & Loomer= ‘24 Bonnie & Clyde

From the Guardian - this is the DeSantis 'let's pay a little visit to their homes' fascist thing... SO fucked up

Isaac Menasche, a Fort Myers voter, said he signed a petition months ago when he was approached at a local farmer’s market. He wrote down his name, birthday, address, and scribbled a quick version of his signature. He didn’t think much of it until last week when a law enforcement officer showed up at his door and pulled out a copy of his signature on the petition, asking him to confirm that it was his – which it was.

“The experience left me shaken. What troubled me was he had a folder on me containing my personal information – about 10 pages. I saw a copy of my driver’s license and copy of the petition I signed,” Menasche wrote in a Facebook post last week. “It was obvious to me that a significant effort was exerted to determine if indeed I had signed the petition. Troubling that so much resources were devoted to this. I wonder if the same could be said if the petition were for some innocuous issue.”
