Rumors say ICE is gonna surge Columbus Ohio next.

Ohio itself is a non-sanctuary state, but Columbus itself is a dem shithole.

It'll be a bit better, since state resources can help, Admin is just gonna need to strongarm the city.

My point is that I'm criticizing Kraft himself and his effects on my Pats especially after the dynasty ended. They've won repeatedly in spite of his cheapness and him just generally being a senile kike. Brady had to take paycuts repeatedly to win more rings because Kraft never once went over the salary cap in over 30 years of running the team (ranking 31st out of 32nd in average cash spending).
This reluctance to spend also resulted in one of my childhood sports heroes in Wes Welker leaving the Patriots (shame he never won a ring even after he left and even as a coach despite getting close multiple times).

This is why everyone hates Patriots fans. Eleven fucking Super Bowls and still complaining. Eleven.

I went to a couple of rallies in Columbus in 2020. It might have been the area, but right wing was highly supported by the randoms and there weren't any protests or anything. I wonder if it's as blue as voting would imply.
Edit: Holy shit, the second Trump election was 6 years ago.

Maybe while they're in Columbus they can make a stop over in Akron and nab Cyraxx for threatening them.
 
CNN: Harris relaunches her old ‘Kamala HQ’ account as an online organizing project (archive) (lite)
Kamala Harris is relaunching — part of her social media presence.

The former vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee on Thursday rebooted the KamalaHQ account, which has over 1 million followers on X and more than 5 million on TikTok, as just Headquarters, which in a partnership with the left-leaning People for the American Way she’s calling “an online organizing project for next generation campaigning.”

“Conservatives build permanent organizing infrastructure. Progressives have historically built machines that dismantle after Election Day. Headquarters is the end of that cycle,” reads a press release from the new group, which also now plans to post on Substack, YouTube and other platforms.

“It’s where you can go online to get the latest of what’s going on, and also to meet and revisit with some of our great and courageous leaders — be they elected leaders, community leaders, civic leaders, faith leaders, young leaders. I’m really excited about it. Stay engaged, and I’ll see you out there,” Harris says in a video recorded for the launch.

Yes, please remember Trump says things but watch what he does. The whole "say please" situation is just him trying to show he's listening to the left, but he's still doing everything as normal. Take him seriously, not literally.


And funny:



Meanwhile, Faggy Massie not looking so good right now, and his jeet bots are ramping up protecting him in the twitter replies:

I don't read that as "OMG gUiz! Trump cucked and loves sanctuary cities nao! Massive ChUd LLlllLll!". You guys need to chill the fuck out. You're like human metronomes, rhythmically swaying in time, between "it's so over" and "we're so back" to the measure set by headlines.

It's just tiring at this point man.

Dems have such a fucking advantage with their voting base because all of the "journalists" and influencers know the score when Biden goes and does some moderate sounding interview they know it's bullshit and don't rile up the base and openly admit they manipulate their voters this way.

Trump gets clipped out of context or tries to sound a bit moderate and our "journalists" and influencers by and large freak the fuck out gaslight people saying "it's over" "we lost" and "voting doesn't work" purposely try to blackpill the voters. We can't do SHIT behind the scenes or use misdirection just look at the Todd Blanche stuff that is totally fake but all the talking heads ran with it until it a literal picture of him and Ed Martin is posted just recently.
 
Trump at the prayer breakfast has been a nice enough gloat / rant. He goes off on Frey and Walz, razzes one of the South American leaders in the crowd, cute bit about him getting the endorsement from Robert Jeffers
at one point he takes a victory lap over nixing the Johnson Amendment, then jokingly adds that he'll put it back if you use it to talk bad about him

Just to preface, I know you're joking around, but for anyone genuinely curious about this random bit of trivia, yes soldiers were constantly digging poop trenches when they set up camp.

We unironically have thousands of years of accounts of the guys on latrine-digging duty bitching about how much it sucked and soldiers having to break formation to go take a piss.

Hell, one of the roman emperors was actually assassinated specifically because he left his march to go take a piss and asked his bodyguard for privacy.

Behold, a civil war poopin hole;

Yeah nah, they dug latrines and stuff once they got somewhere but during the march, when only one or two of those 100,000 men of the Union/Confederate/French/English/Roman/Greek had to shit they couldn’t stop the whole army. That dude just had dookie himself and let the men behind him walk through it!

That's not politics though, that's natural law or as some would say "might makes right". That's what politics sought to gamify and make more fair.

You are as naive as someone who jumps the fence in a zoo to hug a lion.

The entirety of politics is power and management of power.

The entirety of politics is 'might makes right'.

This notion that it is anything otherwise is what has allowed, I'd argue, the people who correctly view politics as a zero-sum game to have made as much progress as they have in the past decade. The 'team politics' aspect of it is a separate issue, but saying that 'might makes right' is somehow separate from politics itself is absurd.
