His uncle didn't warn him to keep his mouth shut, apparently. This is one of the worst possible things he could have said.

EDIT: Maybe Cenk DID warn him, but he didn't listen.
Man Hasan has his dick ridden so much by Dan Clancy he probably feels invincible in regards to political ostracism. Was a little scared initially after seeing the close up video but he has to maintain his image so back to poking the fucking bear because that’s his personality.
 
I genuinely hate Massie now, it might belong in the Kirk thread but it's just yet another example of him doing everything to go after Trump because he knows he needs to keep things splintered. He should just go have sex with Fuentes since they operate the same glowie way:

And yet this faggot screeches about how "Republicans" are targeting him. I'm so tired of him and libertarians like him who play this unserious game.
 
I don't think it would be a very hard sell.

Trump: This is the guy who will not fuck with you and will leave you alone.
Kamala: This women will fuck with you and do stuff that makes your life harder.

Probably just used a paper ballot that was then fed into a machine.
honestly i wonder how they tried to explain all of that shit.

"so uhh, vote for everything R if you want to, those are the people that aren't going to fuck with your shit. uhh.. ask us if you need help with the judges and amendments, or just fill in trump and go back to making furniture and butter."
 
I genuinely wonder how exactly did they convince the Amish to vote for trump?

also, did they only use paper ballots since they don't touch tech?
Most Amish are either self employed farmers or self employed small business owners. Both of which tend to be blood red on the less taxes, less regulations economics. Throw in the old school religion that's really incompatible with the social aspect of the democratic party and it's not hard to see how they could be convinced to vote R. It was more of a problem of getting them to want to vote than.it was who to vote for.

About the electronics- they don't use personal electronics. Go into an Amish owned business and you will see electric lights, electric cash registers and credit card readers, cc tv security and even cell phones that they use only for the business. They just don't use any of that stuff at home. So electronic voting machine isn't a problem because it's a one time thing and it's not at their homes.
 
so.. I just realized all my frens are on a one week forced vacation. I don't think we'll break page 10000 by new years, boys :(
 
I've even seen a discord mod getting banned from their own server by the other mods for being too ghoulish, which has to be saying something.
I think that's what's called an "optics check". If..."they" kill an effective and personable campaigner who gets young voters registered, manage to control the narrative and publicly shed a couple people who "went too far", but the rhetoric that radicalizes continues and the NGOs pushing it go under the radar, it's nothing but a win. Don't count on leftists to police their own, and don't count on "moderates" having any fucking clue what's the difference in our media environment as it stands.

When Trump expropriates NGOs, that's winning. If transgender ideation gets classified as a mental illness, that's winning. Bankrupting news organizations with lawsuits is winning. Registering Republicans and turning them out is winning. Getting killed is losing, and it's still losing even after people who have every reason to be happy that an effective campaigner was murdered make some apologetic noises, or silence those on their side who gravedance hard enough they risk peaking people.
 
I have right wing friends and left wing acquaintances. Yesterday the acquaintances were jubilant. "Think he regrets pushing so hard for guns now?".

Today however they kept bringing up the democratic representatives killed awhile back as some sort of "Um, ackshully..." in that it's really both sides committing violence. Sure enough I look it up and it's all the rage on twitter.

I haven't argued with them about politics in years. It's pointless. But I do bring up whatever part of the story they always conveniently leave out. So I mention the killer in that case was an associate of Tim Walz who claimed Walz wanted him to kill them to advance his career and that the two who were killed had recently broke with the democratic party on a vote for immigrant benefits.

Without missing a beat they say "That doesn't mean he wasn't right wing".

It's moments like these that remind me why they are only ever acquaintances.

We can't coexist with these people. They want you dead.
 
Also, what color could we even give it? Red is Republican, Blue is Democrat, White looks like defeat, Yellow and Green are taken by the libertarians and Green party (both fags, I say as a former HS libertarian), and Black seems a little too.. off for a political party color.
Red and black
 
There’s definitely a weird feeling in the air this month
Its not a weird feeling, its a "I'm tired of living like this" feeling. Its a "I'm tired of not knowing if my children will be safe to pray in church" feeling, its a "I'm tired of not knowing if I'm safe to go to, be at, or come home from work" feeling, and its a "I'm tired of being demonized for not being progressive enough" feeling. Call it what it is. People are getting sick of leftists constantly crying about being in fear and danger, and them not actually being in danger all while they target and kill anyone that isn't them.

You're sadly right. They used to be friends but the 2016 election made them unrecognizable.

I still remember all of us together watching it. I started laughing when he won because I thought it was hysterical. Unfortunately no one else did.

Always held out hope that something would get them to see reason. But after covid, the riots, jan 6th, the fortified election, and now this it feels like that hope is lost.
 
Without missing a beat they say "That doesn't mean he wasn't right wing".
How do the fuck do they even justify that? Oh yeah, a right winger is totally buddies with Walz, and just so happens to murder people who broke ranks with other democrats? If the murderer was right wing, why didn't he murder Walz? Insane.
