US Politics: July 2020 - "Denigrating this Luxury Avenue"

xp

White supremacists, lunatics, and white supremacist lunatics.

You all may be right about the Conways, but this is a totally unscrupulous family that likes to play up their political differences for online rubberneckers, so...

is this the first time you're encountering those dumbasses?

abolish the UFC

Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders & Trader Joe's employees must be so bummed at the alt-right co-opting aloha shirts.

No, I know about all these dummies, but Qanon aside, I wonder what Proud Boys and Boogaloo have to offer that traditional crazy separatist and supremacist groups don't? (Aside from, I presume, breakdancing competitions.)

in some ways the Hawaiian shirt thing feels like a continuation of Boyd Rice types worshipping Martin Denny and the like

not exactly about the US, but some heavily armed Qanon nutter was arrested after ramming his way onto Justin Trudeau's property.

xpost totally Boyd Rice

"QAnoners are reporting that Melania wearing an Alexander McQueen dress tonight is a signal that Time's Up for famous paedos"

how does this signal anything of the sort?

(ugh, sorry for messing up link)

how does this signal anything of the sort?

You have no flair for conspiracist thinking. An obvious signal would tip off the famous paedos that Their Time Is Up, allowing them a headstart on the Forces of Justice and perhaps escaping to their undersea hideouts. Secret signals have to be opaque, as when two spies meet and confirm one another's identities by each wearing brown shoes and having the following conversation:

"I hear the moon is in its dark phase tonight."

"Yes. It makes my monkey lose his appetite."

You are to disregard the fact that if ilx knows about Melania's secret signal, then it is not exactly a secret from the famous paedos, either.

XPS The way I saw it explained was that McQueen was abused as a child, and depression stemming from that led to his suicide, so by Melania wearing one of his designs so soon after Maxwell getting busted is signalling something's up.

I only brought it up to show the gymnastics Q nuts are utilizing to build their narratives through codes and symbols while ignoring that the biggest hammer hangs over their boy Donnie.

Not enough red string and tacks in the world.

There is something particularly peculiar about Boogaloo specifically, though:

Today armed Black Lives Matter and "boogaloo" protesters joined forces for an open carry rally against police violence and government overreach. I'll have HD video up ASAP, but here are some photos I snapped today.

I'll use video in addition to the livestream to try to detail what happened, but a handful of white nationalist-type activists showed up. (such as 1st and 2nd from left in this photo)

Boogaloo and BLM people chanted "white supremacy sucks" and condemned them. pic.twitter.com/y6d3fCCwH6

The way I saw it explained was that McQueen was abused as a child,

Alexander McQueen was not abused as a child afaik?

I'm just relaying what they said, which was most likely bullshit, because in their eyes "Artistic Dead Person"="Abused As A Child".

That post is more about the paedo rings getting busted rather than Maxwell & celebrities, but that narrative is also being pushed.

good luck usa

NEW: 'We need to live with it': White House readies new message for the nation on coronavirus https://t.co/KsVb76v1cd

The problem is 130,000 tried and failed to live with it

yes a bit easier said than done

Is that "Claudia Conway" twitter account really the daughter??

I don’t think McQueen was abused but he was HIV+ and had likely passed it to a couple of other designers I won’t name, although one of them also died a few years ago.

i don't see the relevance of that but thanks for making sure we all know that you know people who got HIV from Alexander McQueen, I was really wondering.

Melania is signaling that Trump is HIV positive?

"Is that "Claudia Conway" twitter account really the daughter??" yes, she's been all over social media recently supporting BLM

Fuck off, akm.

US absolutely fucking it

McQueen's family talk about the abuse in the doc from a couple of years ago

We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States 🇺🇸! #2020VISION

From a friend:

"good golly, is kanye seriously running for president? why couldn’t he announce this nightmare fuel at a decent hour? he is literally going to guarantee trump stays in office another four years if he runs. 💀💀💀💀💀"

How's that, exactly? I couldn't imagine him getting more than 0.05% of the popular vote or any Electorals. This was a dude who wasn't popular with the Gen Public pre-MAGA.

dude he can't even get on the ballot

Yup. I'm not even taking it seriously, but my friend's logic is baffling.

it’s late, I’m tired, my whole neighborhood still sounds like a war zone, and I misread that as “he can’t even get to the toilet” which made we wonder what hilarious kanye news I had missed

if anything wouldn't he siphon votes away from the dude whose base he's been pandering hard to the last few years

xpost it's what "All Falls Down" is about

toe tally terry tizzim

Kanye is Tommy Westphall and we are all just inanimate figures within the snowdome he cradles in his hands

Sometimes I wonder how different our reality would be if Ye's mum hadn't died and he hadn't gone absolutely fucking batshit

I'm happy for you, and I'ma let you finish. No ... seriously, go on!

was really looking fwd to Kanye-T Carlson primaries in '24

Why is our feeble news media legitimizing his manic episode? He may as well have declared himself the new Burger King.

Watch the Throne

This seems like insane electoral politics

Campaign aides said they expect backlash against the progressive “cancel culture” movement to help Trump's standing w/suburban female voters frightened by images of chaos in the streets.

That backlash has yet to reveal itself in polls.https://t.co/rk0UbG0S4I w/@maggieNYT

It’s ‘high on your own supply’ thinking. That’s the only frame of reference they have.

Donald Trump's Shrinking Electoral Map

Gone are the days of forecasting a landslide victory. The president’s team is looking not for where Trump can win more, but how he can lose less.

Donald Trump’s campaign once spoke of expanding his electoral map into blue-leaning territory like Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico and New Hampshire.

Now, winning at least a handful of those states has become a matter of survival.

States that top campaign officials had said they had the luxury of pursuing are no longer considered add-ons to the president’s electoral vote tally but backstops to keep him afloat, according to multiple people close to or involved with his reelection operation.

The most telling sign of Trump’s defensive posture is his recent mammoth TV ad buys. The campaign is spending big to retain states he won in 2016 and to shore up support in places a Republican should already dominate in, like Georgia or Florida’s Panhandle.

Publicly, the Trump campaign asserts their candidate is still competitive in each of the 30 states he carried in 2016. They say presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden faces an enthusiasm deficit among his party’s likeliest voters and that public polling — much of which has shown the president trailing far behind Biden nationally, and more narrowly in battleground states — does not jibe with their own internal numbers.

“President Trump plans on winning every state that he did in 2016, plus picking up others. We’re in a great position to be on offense and would rather be in our shoes than in Joe Biden’s,” said senior adviser Jason Miller.

But privately, campaign aides, senior administration officials and GOP donors have begun to acknowledge what they call a more plausible scenario: a pair of losses in the Rust Belt, most likely Michigan and Wisconsin. That would mean the president has to win some proven Trump-averse states to crack the 270-vote threshold needed to clinch a second term.

Gone are the days of forecasting a landslide victory, said one person close to the Trump campaign. The president’s team is now recasting its expectations to identify not where Trump can win more, but how he can lose less.

“We don’t need 306. We just need 270. We can lose Michigan and lose Pennsylvania and still win,” said a top Trump adviser, noting that a win in New Hampshire, combined with one in Nevada or New Mexico, would provide enough Electoral College support to prevent defeat even if Biden wins big in the industrial Midwest.

Trump is going to try to speed up global warming so that states will be submerged and removed from the voting process
