The size of the trump rallies don't tell you the actual size of people who show up to his rallies. My friend went to one. The people who get in line up 6 hour beforehand. If you get there any later there's no chance. There's overflow areas where you watch on tv

Come on, you know if Batman attempted something on the macro level without the kickbacks, money laundering, corruption, human trafficking, that currently exists, the Jews would hire like 50 superheroes to go after him.

See if you are allowed to write that comicbook! 😆

That's why Batman has autistically detailed and heccin valid, legit plannerinos for how to successfully murder every superhero and supervillain in DC

Probably Marvel too if he's in a universe where those old Marvel/DC crossovers were real

He knows (((what))) he may to have to deal with some day

Charles Carroll is also one of my favorite founding father for unironically shitposting in a newspaper and getting into months long debates with other people under the name ‘First Citizen’ and getting doxed. He also was recorded as saying “Talking means nothing, get the bayonets”.
Shitposting anonymously is not just your right as an American, it’s a tradition. Go make that Canadian faggot Jordan Peterson cry! Ben Franklin and Charles Carroll would want you to.

Quite a few of the Founding Fathers used pseudonyms in news publications in order to avoid being ostracized or intimidated for their potentially unpopular positions. If your identity was found out you could also be challenged to a duel so there was that. It was a rather fascinating period in the history of American political discourse.

From an article on the subject:
Pseudonyms were used for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it was felt that the avoidance of authors’ names concentrated attention on the issues, not on the personalities of the authors. Anonymity also contributed to the freedom of the press in that proponents of unpopular positions might be intimidated or ostracized socially and/or economically if their identities were publicly divulged. One Philadelphia Federalist warned an Antifederalist to be wary lest “his name may yet be known. . . . if he wishes to escape the just resentment of an incensed people, who perhaps may honor him with a coat of TAR and FEATHERS” (Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer, 28 September 1787). Such intimidation had silenced Loyalists during the war and might inhibit opponents of the proposed form of government.

Furthermore, during a time when dueling was not uncommon, writers were reluctant to acknowledge their authorship of harsh or abusive rhetoric that might provoke a duel. Eleazer Oswald, the volatile printer of the Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer, regularly threatened writers and even other printers who alienated him. In January 1786, Oswald challenged fellow Philadelphia printer Mathew Carey to a duel after Carey printed a scurrilous poem written by Carey that maligned Oswald. A former artillery officer during the war, Oswald was a crack shot. Oswald survived the duel unscathed, but Carey suffered a serious leg wound that hobbled him for fifteen months. It was reported that a number of Philadelphia printers and authors cautiously avoided Oswald for fear of being challenged to a duel.

Literally thousands of pseudonyms were drawn from a variety of sources. The names of Greek and Roman statesmen were often used. Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans, which was widely read by Americans, provided a plethora of virtuous historical figures who could be used as pseudonyms—e.g., Agricola, Agrippa, Argus, Aristides, Cato, Caesar, Brutus, Candidus, Caius, Camillus, Cassandra, Cassius, Cicero, Cincinnatus, Cinna, Curtius, Curtiopolis, Demosthenes, Diogenes, Fabius, Helvidius Priscus, Juvenis, Leonidas, Lucius, Lycurgus, Marcus, Numa, Philopoemen, Plebeian, Portius, Publicola, Publius, Rusticus, Senex, Solon, Timoleon, Tullius, and Valerius were all used as pseudonyms.

Benjamin Russell, the printer of the Boston Massachusetts Centinel, announced that he would not print Antifederalist essays unless the authors left him their names to be revealed upon request. Antifederalists, who feared having their names divulged in Boston, an ardently Federalist town, criticized such a policy as a blatant attempt to limit their access to the press. The public and legislative denunciation against Russell’s policy evoked a reconsideration, but then Russell justified his failure to print Antifederalist pieces because none were submitted.

In Savannah, Georgia, “A Farmer” proposed that James Johnston, the printer of the Gazette of the State of Georgia, post a literary roster in his office listing the names of all anonymous essayists. This would stifle “designing, specious demagogues” who try to “make your paper a vehicle of their seditious nonsense . . . sent forth into the world through your paper as the immaculate offspring of prescience and patriotism; and to make a greater impression upon the world, they never fail to sanctify their productions with some sacred, respectable, or specious signature. Thus we often see a living Catiline personating a dead Cicero and a modern Thersites assuming the ancient name of the sage Socrates or divine Plato.” By having this list “free at all times for inspection,” “A Farmer” hoped that it might forestall “the lucubrations of knaves and blockheads.”

Look at the day in History, Biden and Clinton were way ahead. Not to say this is all settled. We still have 3 months until Election Day. But the claim that Trump’s campaign is imploding is just nonsense propaganda.

I've had two people IRL say they're going to kill themselves when the results get announced so Trump can't genocide them. Apparently suicide for Trump is the it thing this week.

Report back about this. Doesn't sound like they're friends of yours, so it should be easier for you to hold them to it and/or completely avoid if they're just going to outright suicidebait.

It's like pottery that as soon as they stabbed Biden in the back, polls started oversampling self-IDed Democrats again. These polls with Harris up shifted party crosstabs from even (reality) to +5-7D (fantasy)

Bruce Wayne did do philanthropic shit. Note for those who don’t know: The Penguin single handedly makes what this guy in the video mentions impossible, due to a mountain of corruption. There are many others that deal in financial corruption in Gotham as well, these people have to be rooted out one by one and they always have a way out of jail pre-set.

It's frustrating in Australia being a pawn 😤😤

Its impressive how cucked the authoritarian governments of the "liberal free world" have made themselves. They've brow beaten their native populations to such an extent that having a large effective military ends with them getting coup d'etat by that same military. They can't for a second relent and so their solution to issues of national defense is to rely on a government thousands of miles away.

Do these idiots even realize Americans aren't joining the military anymore? That the "solution" our leaders have come up for the drop in recruitment is to quietly downsize the military? That sort of press gangs there won't be any American marines to fight their wars for them?

And how insulting this is to the history of Australia. Who at one point in the world had the best jungle fighters and kicked the shit out of the Japanese army a number of times. God willing the land down under can be free from liberal tyrants one day.

They've been hiring models and onlyfans girls as recruitment officers.
They've also introduced a path to citizenship for illegals if they join
I guess they will shore up gaps with NATO and Merc companies
I think they hope future advances in drone and robotics will make the need for many soldiers not an issue

This is bullshit.

JD Vance never lied, or even embellished, anything about his service record, and any "implications" you're suggesting are just baseless slanders on your part.

Walz, on the other hand, blatantly lied about his rank, and his service record, and those are facts, no implications required.

JD Vance (or Jimmy David Hamel as he was called back then for whatever reason) claiming he's a Marine combat correspondant is like Nick Rekieta claiming he's a lawyer. It's technically true, but it gives a deliberately false impression on what the actual job is. People think the Marines are ultra-hardcore like on their commercials and are jumping out of helicopters into the thick of combat and a combat correspondant must be some badass who sees combat. Reality is JD Vance was the dude sitting in an air conditioned office typing up press releases (mostly not in Iraq, either). He probably was only there since he's a Manchurian candidate created by his Peter Thiel (likely his gay lover)--gotta give him that "veteran Marine" backstory those Appalachian rubes love!

You mean the same polls which predicted 20+ seat Republican majority in the House, 2-3 seat Republican majority in the Senate, and had Oregon, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin all electing Republican governors in 2022?

It's almost like their polling has gotten better and by convincing you the races are close, you won't vote because you think it's in the bag.
