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

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?

"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.”

C'mon people, I know we're talking about two different stories here, but can we please not post things like "Trump horny", "Laura Loomer" and "pump and dump"?

This thread belongs in the Loomey bin

Trump shaker

I just hope he follows her advice very closely, whatever she tells him

this shit is so nakedly racist.. most of these folks are here legally, have jobs, have driver's licenses, etc.

Donald Trump went on to threaten “large deportations” in Springfield, Ohio, which is home to a large Haitian community that he and his allies have vilified in recent days.

“I can say this: we will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio, large deportations. We’re going to get these people out,” Trump said.

The fuck, the Haitians in Springfield are a.) here legally and b.) working at the fucking factories that recruited them there. Just vile shit.

love to see this. if our likely voters are more likely than their likely voters then it's gonna be a very good night

A majority of Black voters are just as excited or more this year as in 2008, when then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) became the first Black president, according to new polling.

A survey from the NAACP, in partnership with HIT Strategies and Hart Research, found that 78 percent of Black voters feel the same sense of excitement as when Obama first ran, with 56 percent being more excited now than in 2008.

Meanwhile Williamson has at least deleted this tweet after it got shared by all the worst people, but jfc.

Voodoo Pile (Slight Return)

Haitian voodoo (voodou) IS real! it's an accepted religion that has little do with zombies and sticking pins in trump dolls

Or eating cats.

hmm

So is MW saying the Haitians are going to to use their voodoo to get back at coastal elites for judging simple
Midwestern folk? I am so confused.

She sorta seems to be suggesting that coastal elite Democrats shouldn't minimize the entirely legitimate concerns of Springfielders about their Voodoo-practicing (possibly cat-eating) Haitian neighbors.

and it's gonna create blowback!

peak

holy shit she got THE endorsement

Travel writer and television host Rick Steves endorsed Vice President Harris in the 2024 general election in a video released Thursday night, arguing the world doesn’t need the “chaos” of former President Trump returning to the White House..

And they spun out over the Swifties, just wait until the Stevies fan army gets to the polls.

Has Rick Bayless weighed in?

after Swift's endorsement, the world turned to Steves: "Well?" He was literally forced to respond
