I have tried to tell my 2 liberal friends that the point is not the video. He just does or says something because he knows it will cover the news pages and saturate all coverage, especially if it is against the norms. Everyone knows they will spend days talking about the craziest thing he says or does. Or he will take multiple issues that 80% of the public wants, some he probably doesn’t even support and say to put them up for a vote just to get Democrats on the record arguing against it. They are so blinded by their hate, they can't see they fall for it every single time. To be fair, I would probably have a bigger issue with this stuff IF they didn't spend every minute of every day punching down on the working and middle-class. They insult their intelligence, their traditional family values, their love of traditional holidays, their religion or their falling short of what Bible verses they've picked and chosen as most important, their desire to be in charge of their own children, their questioning of experts who have been wrong, what media sources they consume, and on and on and on. It's disgusting to me that they denigrate working people and their lifestyles as if they are cavemen. My favorite? Their absolute obsession with identity politics. They love to talk about how unhealthy, uneducated, and poor red states are in the south while pretending they care about minorities. The southern states have the largest per capita minority populations. They don't even notice it.
Yes, and I'd have a bigger issue with this stuff if the Dems hadn't paid for a bogus dossier, pushed it in the intelligent agencies as truth, lying on FISA warrants so they could spy on and prosecute Trump's supporters and administration workers, pushed the whole thing (that Trump colluded with Russia) nonstop and leaking it to the press so that it would be constant front page news and then doing investigation after investigation when they knew it was nothing but their own made up story, that they made up, as a part of their "resistance", to try and get Trump to resign. AND THEN THEY SHOT HIM.
On September 10, my 81 year old mother asked me, who's Charlie Kirk? They say he just got shot. Ten days later, she is wanting to use the DVR to record his memorial service.
After Elvis died, one guy quipped, "Great career move". His Estate increased tenfold in value. Likewise Charlie's reach, which was mainly college aged kids, expanded to include everyone. And there has been a surge of young people attending church and Bible sales are up 40% supposedly.
The Left should take a lesson from the Charlie Kirk assassination.
If they get their wish and someone assassinates Trump, it would make January 6, 2021 look like a day at Epcot.
They put the Harris signs up. We know where they live. They need to understand that they would not want to live in a post- Trump assassination world and many of them probably wouldn't live very long
I have to agree. If they got their wish it would likely cause a lot of death and possibly another Civil War. Republicans would probably win this one just like the first.
If Trump gets shot by someone, that does not reflect on everyone with Harris signs in their yards. Just like if someone shoots Harris, it doesn't reflect on all with Trump signs in their yards. It's horrible to say "many of them probably wouldn't live long". Come on, we're not like that and WE are not going to hurt people just for being part of the nearly 50% of the population who voted Democrat.
Liberals are liberals because they think, like a medieval peasant who believed in Spontaneous Generation, that everything happens in a vacuum. Furthermore, their behavior during Covid proves that they actually believe in Spontaneous Generation.
They think that if someone shoots Trump that it will be all rainbows and unicorns throughout the land. They lack the mental capacity to even speculate on the aftermath of what happens when they get their wish.
I see a lot of people on line saying things like "just do it already" and I see no one telling them to calm the rhetoric down. That means that the power brokers on the Left are using it to fundraise and they are hoping it happens.
If they don't start NOW stepping forward and telling these numbnuts to stop with the assassination fantasies, I promise you there will be no mercy.
I completely get where you're coming from. Liberals during 'Covid' made me lose all faith in society.
But we need to remember (as hard as it is) that the people celebrating Charlie Kirk getting shot are the minority of Democrats. The people who wish for Trump to be shot are the minority as well. The online echo chambers and the media just amplify the worst of the worst. We can't fall into the trap of thinking that people on the left deserve to be killed. Man it makes me sick just typing that...we are all humans and yes many humans have stupid ideas and say and do stupid things but to say 'there will be no mercy' for having a Kamala sign in the yard at some point...I think you know that's very, very wrong. I don't think you mean it.
"...fall into the trap of thinking that the people on the left - who kill Trump in cold blood - deserve to be killed". You left out the context of the comment. But I agree with you, a civil war leads to no good thing. Although, I'd consider it if these leftists (the minority of Democrats or not) start arresting us and putting us in jail for memes (as is happening in the UK), hauling us to reeducation camps (as suggested by H. Clinton and Katie Couric and others), or other unconstitutional/illegal things.
I believe Kevin makes several excellent points; the first one being what a historically lousy idea it is to martyr one’s enemies. Just ask Henry II about that. I’m seeing it all around the country. Another is the illustration of the rottenness and pettiness of the progressives over the murder of a purely decent Christian and family man because he dared publicly debate the left wing madness. The left is losing ground and with each foot lost they grow more vicious and dangerous.
The final point he makes just illustrates their naïveté. They see violence on the one hand as a cinematic drama and when the curtain drops everyone goes home, and on the other hand, words and even silence is violence.
They appear to be suffering from an adult version of oppositional defiant disorder, possibly left over from the Sixties. From the footage the No Kings crowd appear to be the same people, and their disruptive conduct is credited with ending the Vietnam War. They’ve been riding a sugar high ever since.
My parents were protesters against the Viet Nam War... that was so different... they were called "Peaceniks"... but it's stunning that so many of that generation are now out protesting an imaginary king.
It also may be more likely that some of these older leftists were too young to participate in the 60s disruptions and are interested in joining in something they missed out on. Regardless, they have NO real cause whatsoever, and are a big joke.
J6 is the worst in my mind. Those regular, patriotic taxpaying citizens were ruined by the elites playing games. We really are subhuman in these people’s minds.
If the Democrats were sincere about anything they’d be cheering the Gaza ceasefire and marching into Nigeria to halt the genocide. They want the trappings of moral superiority while being spiritually bankrupt.
At least one person admitted he was Antifa. He took video of himself saying "We're going to burn it down" and "Let's break in there now", etc. Biden's DOJ did arrest him, probably because he did admit that he was Antifa. HE SAID HE WANTED TO GO TO THE CAPITOL TO MAKE MAGA LOOK BAD. He's in jail now (unless Trump pardoned him too).
This faoin claim refers to John Earle Sullivan, a self-described activist who was indeed present at the Capitol on J6. Sullivan was not a Trump supporter and had previously attended left-wing and Black Lives Matter–affiliated protests.
Major Antifa groups have denied any association with him, and there’s no verified evidence that he was an active member of Antifa.
Antifa, by the way, is not a single, unified organization — it’s a loosely connected movement made up of people and groups who oppose fascism, white nationalism, and far-right extremism that's trotted out time and again as if it is an single unified organization. Faoin again!
Sullivan filmed himself inside the Capitol during the riot and said things like “Let’s go! This [ghastly curse word!] is ours!” He was later arrested by the FBI and charged with several offenses related to unlawful entry and disorderly conduct. He sold his footage to media outlets for tens of thousands of dollars. He reportedly told others he wanted to “document” the chaos and later claimed he was there as a journalist — not as part of any political group.
There’s no evidence he coordinated with Antifa or that his actions were part of an Antifa plot to “make MAGA look bad.” That’s a rumor that spread widely on right-wing media but has never been substantiated by court filings or investigative reporting or fact or reality or anything resembling even a thimble of sanity. The overwhelming majority of those arrested and convicted for January 6 were Trump supporters or people motivated by pro-Trump or Stop the Steal rhetoric, not left-wing infiltrators.
Sullivan’s case is an isolated incident, not proof that Antifa orchestrated or participated in the broader attack but of course has been embraced by those who ebtrace conspiracy theory with open arms and hearts.
It must be another guy that you are talking about or it is this guy, but I got my "conspiracy theory" because I SAW A VIDEO WHERE HE SAID WHAT I SAID THAT HE SAID (well, paraphrased).......I distinctly remember that he said that he was there to "cause trouble" and he was "Antifa" and he said more than just "Let's go". BTW, how do you know he was the only (isolated) person? Did you talk to all of them individually? How many never got caught? There were more suspicious activities from that day, like the guys up on the scaffolding, but I don't have time to go into it here. BTW, I know that Antifa are many groups, not just one like BLM. I think Congress is going to do more digging, which is good.
FBI rose to prominence during the 12 year FDR admin and became the most feared agency among politicians, protesters and gays (oh, and leftists). Digest that for a while.
Become? They've been exactly that for a while now. Like hall monitors in junior high they wait to pounce on any whose utterances can be savaged as racist, homophobic, etc. If there are no such utterances on offer, simply make them up. Meanwhile the American people are laughing at them, prompted by the notes (memes) passed between desks depicting them as exactly what they are.
Watch the movie "Forrest Gump" and see how the far Left is portrayed in that movie by none other than lib Tom Hanks. See how overly serious the liberal characters are in their Vietnam protest marches and how the Marxist leaders put down and humiliate even their volunteers like Robin Wright's Jenny. Nothing ever changes. The Left has ALWAYS taken itself too seriously and is violent and very dangerous, as a result
The American Left is finally out of the closet as a death cult. The International Left has always been so (French Revolution, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, etc, etc) Google Thuletide and look up Leftism and Mental Illness, which reviews several psychiatric studies of the left dating back 100 years. Always the same stuff: low self esteem, anger, delusions, projections, love of violence, etc etc Maybe we should put Haldol in the water
The clip of the conversation between Megyn Kelly and Emily Jashinsky drives home a very important point - the democrat media is so powerful and so deceitful in the way they edit reality, that the damage that they are doing in immeasurable. What comes out of CNN, MSNBC, etc. is not news, or even commentary, it’s very intentional partisan propaganda. Something must be done to put them in their place - they have no place in the White House press room, being treated like journalists. Corporate “news” needs to die. MSNBC is an infomercial for democrats.
I just discovered Emily Jashinsky... what a treasure (though I don't give a rats ass about any Housewives show). But she is so knowledgable and articulate about conservative positions. And an absolute brainiac Christian. While Charlie Kirk was at the top, and though no one will ever fill his shoes, I pray that there are dozens of Emilys in the offing and coming to the fore.
Re my comment above, I think the media people on the non-left, with rare exceptions, need to stop relying on clips and soundbites of people like Maddow in their substacks and podcasts - instead of saying look at this, look at that, make your arguments with real words, logic, and morality.
How are they so powerful? Do they decide elections? Can they overturn elections? Nope they have as much power as current conservative in fact on the internet even less because Facebook, Twitter all lean right now.
OUTSTANDING!!!!! LEFTISTS will NEVER get it...why????????? Because they part on the "PEACE" movement: Pretentious.......Emotional.........Arrogant..........Condescending...........Elitists.............They think that they are BETTER than you "commoners" and therefore your opinion about any and EVERY thing is beneath them!!! You notice that the "people" interviewed at these "No Kings" displays over the country, when someone wants to engage them in a discussion, they will say "F off" and walk away. They DO NOT want to engage, because they are DEATHLY afraid of being exposed.
When you’ve outsourced your critical thinking to be part of an in group, you can’t afford to speak. On the one hand, if you misspeak the dogma or even hint at less than fanatical devotion to the permission structure, you’ll be cast out of the morally superior in every way group and relegated to the subhuman brutes on the other side of the aisle. And on the other hand, their views of everything are completely unexamined, instant reward without any thought to second and third order effects, based entirely on irrational emotions and are often insane and that’s obvious to anyone even casually observing. Best for the committed wokester to keep his trap shut.
I worked in Hollywood for 26 years and fell for the groupthink. I had to move out of state to become a free thinker. And that cost me many friendships. But it was worth it, and now I have friends who are well read, who think for themselves, and have the courage of their convictions - like @realsashastone
When I moved from South Carolina to central Puget Sound 22 years ago I did so as a young liberal. When I leave here it will be as a Christian conservative. I see firsthand the end results of combining toxic empathy with self righteousness. Seattle looks like ground zero for Revelation.
And how they say they care about the Epstein girls while pretending that Irina Zarutska and Logan Federico didn’t exist. How can they claim to care about former 14 year old white girls when they have no concern about 22-23 year old white girls?
You are correct on part of it is to suffocate the narrative so Democrats do not have a voice. Bad news is still good news if your foe cant get a word in edge wise. Media has to report everything bad about Trump giving no way to get anything from democrats thus is makes them weaker its a vicious cycle and for Trump its his ultimate revenge against the party he wants to make them gone and a one party system.
Trump doesn't want a one-party system, he wants the decades long, DEMOCRAT one-party system that we've had, to be gone and sane, constitutional republic loving, non-USA hating Democrat party like JFK, Jefferson and others, to be in their place. But I don't know if they can learn from JFK and other Democrats from the past....
I want a no party system. I want state legislatures to appoint. UNBOUNDED Electors or have the governors pull names out of a hat. Get rid of parties, primaries, campaigns and meaningless elections. It works for the Vatican there is no reason we can and don't do the same
Well, Vatican election is for top leader from their own ranks; the leader in turn appoints next level Cardinals and Bishops to open positions. I would think in states etc. you’d end up with similar purely political alignments where a Dem/Rep leader appoints folks, leaves office, they elect another Dem/Rep leader
And yet ... how many Catholics run around saying, "not my Pope"?
The Cardinals elect a Pope and a billion Catholics worldwide celebrate.
We elect a president and half the country is angry.
The Catholic Church doesn't have endless four year cycles.
If we had appointed Electors, the Electors would show up vote and go home and let Congress sort the rest. We wouldn't have families torn apart and friends abandoning each other over who they voted for.
I use the Catholic Church because it is an extant organization. The Holy Roman Emperor was elected by Electors, which would have been mainly every prince and duke of every little enclave. I would imagine that was the model that the Framers had in mind when they came up with the idea of the electoral college.
Picking names out of hat wouldn't give a worse result than what we have already lived through
The only reason is he agreed with Trump thats it if he runs for office the same old tired cliches of Socialism, Baby murders, Stalinist, Satanists come out.
The left went insane because they refused to understand that the American people never wanted the left's smug self-righteousness and their policies. They refuse to take responsibility for their own failures. Above all, Americans despise how the left especially from Obama on, divided "We the people." Trump, warts and all, was the collective right's answer to that insult.
They still don’t understand their imperious “how dare you”s have finally produced the reaction they fear most - ridicule. And the more they scream “how dare you”, the more ridicule they will get.
Maybe soon they will figure out that taking their cue from a mentally disturbed teenager was a really bad idea.
Welcome back NW, did you have a great costume and sign for your No Kings protest?
Memes are jokes. They are not IRL, unlike trans surgeries, open borders, censorship, assassination attempts and success, support for Muslim terrorists, etc, etc.
I know it’s hard for you to understand, but you guys need to figure it out. It’s called reality.
Did you enjoy the "new generation" of Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont exchanging racist and anti-semitic Telegram chats? They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. I guess they are trump' successors.
Why do you insist on talking about talk, and completely ignore actions in the real world? Do I need to list the real world actions again?
I guess you prefer to stay in your copy, paste world of outrage. Ridiculous accusations, silly costumes and signs. Guitars and pathetic sing-a-longs. Oh my God, Trump is ridiculing you! Oh the horror!
The real joke is that somehow you actually think you deserve respect.
Oh, the Dems have a voice. The media shouts every word they say. 24/7/365. And what isn't true, they will make up (see the four years of the Biden administration). Even crap that is SO easy to check! They used footage of a Trump rally from August of 2024 for their "No Kings Rally" footage for Boston. It's pathetic. And when you call them out on it, they cry 'Victim' because you are picking on them.... SYCMU
The reason many of us point to Fetterman is he acts like a real PERSON. I'm from Pennsylvania, live 13 miles away from his home, and know he is the same guy he was when he was mayor of Braddock, PA (population under 2,000).
I have never heard Trump talk about re-education camps for liberals like we heard from Hillary Clinton for conservatives, to wipe their minds clean of any conservative thoughts. And Trump has not tried to prosecute and imprison peaceful protesters as the Left did January 6 conservative protesters. Only a very few J6 protesters were accused of and prosecuted for violence; trespassing and "disturbing the peace" were the biggest indicted offense, which is a nothing-burger the libs do every day on Federal property.
Over the air very basics of Broadcasting OTR is Over the radio. The funny aspect you think liberal humor is disgusting while MAGA Trumps is just as toxic and not funny its just which political spectrum you are on.
One thing that is curious is if Trump will be 82.5 at the end of his 2nd and final term, why has he commissioned the WH ballroom to be built? According to our trusty AI, with the 90 sq ft $200 million construction beginning September 2025 incl major renovation/ modernization of a historic wing, a reasonable timeline might be about 2.5 to 3.5 years (depending on complexity, permit delays, surprises in historic structure, etc) to completion, placing a realistic “ready for guests” window at mid-2028 to late-2028.
So he's trying to turn the WH into Mar-a-lago when he won't be around to use it? Sounds fishy.
In trying to insult poor Whites, they succeed only in insulting poor Blacks.
And why is it that Texas is among the most "poorly educated" states? Mexicans. 50 years or so ago, Austin used to rival Berkeley for highest level of education per capita. What happened? Mexicans.
Whenever they post a list of the states with the highest crime rates, I respond with a list of the states with the highest black populations. 7 of 10 match
The crime stats basically map on to Fatherless Sons Syndrome. It is not a surprise that Demos had nothing to say about rising illegitimacy. But why did Repos also have nothing to say about that? First-rate Face Plant.
Somewhat snarky comment about our dearly beloved site-owner ...
If her child had been a boy, he would probably have been dysfunctional, due to lack of a male model (so to speak). Such are the Random Events that control our lives ... (Random Events are common in war-games. I have about 300 of those in my closet. So I am a closet war-gamer ...)
Sacha's daughter has made a good life and has no felonies on her record. It's not just fatherless boys who are committing crimes, it's the girls as well these days.
Likely no one on the Trump team makes videos. They get posted on Truth Social or elsewhere and he or someone else reposts until he sees it and makes it go viral.
Look in the mirror GOP keep telling Democrats how wrong they are as well on every issue. Its very sickening to hear both sides tell only how wrong the other side is and they dont give a flying fuck about their side when in power.
Today I was chatting with a friend who told me that her best friend since childhood watches the View religiously and is hoping that someone shoots Trump. I'm sure there's no connection between that parade of ignoramuses and a viewer's murderous impulses.
The gloves have been off for a while - 14 years ago Democrats created an ad showing moderate Congressman Paul Ryan pushing Granny off a cliff over his Medicare Proposal .
I do not understand how the FCC regulated broadcast media get away with telling the public lies (propaganda). Telling the truth seems like a minimum standard to me, or they can all give up their licenses and become unregulated podcasts
Yes, I just heard that. Ok, where's Congress on changing that law right now? I'm going to email my Congressman. I suggest you do the same and spread the word.
Luigi clones. Its shocking this was once the flower child movement and turned into a geriatric dead weed movement. I am glad they have septum rings and blue hair so I can avoid them.
I love the meme JD posted with Trump putting on a crown and robe and taking out his sword while Nancy and company are bowing to him. (Of course, repurposing their dumb bowing in 2020).
That one was done by the Dilley Meme Team. Both Trump the pilot and Trump the king. The White House had Dilley come in and give a seminar on messaging. Top shelf.
We must give credit to the artists who put these brilliantly funny memes together. I feel sorry for the Trump-deranged who are so blinded by fanaticism that they can't see how lop-sided and self-righteous they are.
Why can't those sour pusses take a joke? Because then they'd have to face the sinkhole of corruption that the Democrat party has become. Sad.
I love Trump. I think he is the greatest president ever. He makes presidenting look easy. Thanks Sasha for showing the jet flyover meme! I hadn’t seen it and it is hilarious 😆
I can't wrap my head around the amount of old people at these rallies. I'm old and apparently have wrongly assumed others of my generation had well defined moral character. Biden draped the Whitehouse with pride flags. Promoted to high office a litany of strange, in my opinion, mentally ill people. Of which, none were good at their jobs. I live in a somewhat rural area of NE Ohio. In November we're choosing 2 new trustees. One candidate moved here from NY. Before moving, changed his name from Bradley Stephen Heutmaker to Amy S. Heutmaker. Works as a counselor specializing in LGBTQIA. Now he wants a political position, and I see his signs in people's yards and wonder, who are these people? There is literally nowhere to hide from the ones practicing dark arts. This feels so manufactured.
A long ago acquaintance changed names and all that goes with it... I asked why, and got the whole gender/identity wonk. I was like, huh. weird. Of course I got blasted, and told I *had* to accept them!!!!! Um, no, not really - if YOU couldn't accept you, why should I?
I'm 65. I have a lot of friends on FB and the ones I see / post a lot are definitely conservative or middle ground. There are 4 or 5 that are *rabid* democrats, and I mean that in every definition. They foam at the mouth, and bite-bite-bite. Thrash around and make a lot of noise. None of which makes any sense unless you're rabid too.
Yo Lily -- I live just south of you in Bainbridge(!), having escaped Chicago 4 years ago to reside where there was some semblance of sanity. I tell all my friends to check out Sasha, and I'm old too! God bless, and thanks for the heads-up about your candidate. Arg.
THE funniest meme/video EVER showed Newsom at his press conference talking, but located in a Trump hat shop. In time, Trump walked over to him, put a Trump hat on him, patted Newsom and kept walking.
Not long after that meme video, Newsom was sitting and talking to a group of people. He was SO upset that he had received 2 dozen Trump hats. The audience laughed. Newsom said, "This is SERIOUS!"
Not just A hat, but two dozen hats. He then went on to make (could just be photos) to make hats, and other merchandise, like Trump's, but with his name, etc. I THINK Newsom was wanting his audience to get mad about the hats, but they laughed hard. So did I.
I watched him on some podcast. He detests Trump. He claimed it's because of his calling him Newscum. He claimed his son asked him what it meant.
According to Newsom, he told Charlie Kirk (on a podcast) that his son was a big fan of Kirk. This podcast was before Kirk was killed.
I hadn't tracked Emily Jashinsky before but she is right that it is a dangerous time. Conservatives like to think that the fever has broken but they are wrong. Even if 80-20 becomes 95-5 that makes them more dangerous not less. As the circle gets smaller, it goes underground and becomes conspiritorial and violent.
Did you enjoy the "new generation" of Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont exchanging racist and anti-semitic Telegram chats? They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.” Peter Giunta, on the upcoming vote on whether he should become chair of the Young Republican National Federation (GOP’s 15,000-member political organization for Republicans between 18 and 40 years old) said, "everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”
Repubs excuse it saying "Boys will be boys." I guess these are Trump successors.
"No Kings" seemed like the product of an advertising agency with the insight and depth of skill demonstrated in the infamous Gillette and Bud Light campaigns. Good luck with that! But, by all means feel free to double down on it now that there is no USAID funding for it.
I only have an IQ of 142 so I am not smart enough to dumb myself down enough to understand how a liberal thinks.
The Army has been planning a celebration for its 250th birthday for a couple of years.
Trump says, tongue-in-cheek, that happens to be on my birthday. I want a parade for the Army.
The liberals freak out and say, "ONLY KINGS HAVE PARADES ON THEIR BIRTHDAY" Really? Where'd they come up with that? Who thinks like that? I don't live in a country with a king so I wouldn't associate those two.
So instead of honoring the very Army that allows them to protest in the first place, they give it the middle finger and host their "No kings" street festival. They could have watched the parade which was very nice, but they can't get over their hate.
I have an IQ of 425 and a 13 inch dick which is why I had the entire parade uploaded directly into my Elon Musk neuralink so I can absorb it subliminally at all times.
I love Trump and my support for him has never wavered--not from the minute he came down the escalator until now. He is my president!!!! BUT...and I know I am going to get all kinds of guff for this...my thought is that although I believe everyone should play by the same rules, giving Trump the all-clear to do so, I think he goes too far. I get that he has been attacked and attacked and attacked and that his instinct is to defend and retaliate. In fact, this same protective instinct is the building block /the very foundation for how he defends America to other countries, and I admire and depend on that! I also understand that his intent in playing into all the lies about him is to show how ludicrous they are. Understanding AND AGREEING with all this , I still wish he would tone it down.
Nothing Trump does compares with the sociopaths who hate him. Let Trump be Trump, because humor is the best medicine against Democrat violence, hate and insanity.
Agree, but so many people (including conservatives) are totally uneducated on what the sociopaths did (and still do)! In fact, I'd have a bigger issue with the "poo out the plane meme" if the Dems hadn't paid for a bogus dossier, pushed it in the intelligent agencies as truth, lying on FISA warrants so they could spy on and prosecute Trump's supporters and administration workers, pushed the whole thing (that Trump colluded with Russia) nonstop and leaking it to the press so that it would be constant front page news and then doing investigation after investigation when they knew it was nothing but their own made up story, that they made up, as a part of their "resistance" to try and get Trump to resign or be impeached. AND THEN THEY SHOT HIM.
Yeah, why don't the lefties get more upset over comparing everyone on the right to a Nazi? And we're getting shot....I think it's the media. That's also why the Dems have such bad candidates. They're not culled through primaries or tough questioning, they just promote and support the most corrupt ones who'll do what they say.
They seriously think we ARE nazis - the dem elite tells them so, so it must be. I read something a while back, here in a substack, that the more they can label and dehumanize the right, the more the libs and dems feel justified in eliminating the 'evil' that the dem leaders and elites claim the right has become...
Yes, and their dark leaders know this (though some, like AOC, probably believe it. She talks about MAGA and she's really just describing her and her party with all the labels and boxes they put everyone in).
Who can forget Trump’s use of Hitler rhetoric from a Veteran’s Day speech, 2023 saying, “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like VERMIN within the confines of our country.”?
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made on Fox News on Oct. 16, "This interview proved that the Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
Did you enjoy Kammie and Barry's Hitler salute? And let's not forget the sweet suggestion from Paula Collins (and backed by Hillary Clinton) about putting conservatives and republicans in (ahem) "re-education camps" after removing their children and putting them in (ahem) "schools" to give them a "better" Civics 'understanding' - all applauded by the likes of Katie Couric, Eugene Robinson, and Michael Beller, among the democrats. And who can forget Jen Psaki's cute little Soviet emblem embellished pink fur hat... nothing like a Hammer and Sickle to scream "Democracy", eh? The only people who have forgotten Jay Jones' desire to put 2 bullets in the head of his opponent in front of his kids, and then kill his children is apparently DEMOCRATS - as JJ is currently running and in the lead for his representative seat. Did YOU enjoy that? Did YOU 'enjoy' the assassination of Charlie Kirk?
As for the 'new generation' of the Young Republicans Club, they have been soundly denounced by a very large percentage of republicans *AND* conservatives. They won't be moving up in the hierarchy anytime soon - unlike Graham Platner, who is expected to win his seat in the Maine election - his swastika tattoo on his chest notwithstanding... haven't heard a peep about *that* but an image of a swastika on a US flag in an office is a National Security threat and emergency....
As for Karoline... is she wrong? I haven't seen a single democrat denounce Hamas. I haven't seen or heard or read about DEMOCRATS denouncing the kidnapping of an 8 month old baby, who was later strangled by the hands of his captors. I haven't seen or heard or read about DEMOCRATS denouncing the kidnap, rape and torture of Israeli woman (quite the opposite actually). I haven't seen a single democrat stand up for the Jewish students spat on, harassed, barred from attending classes, and who had to barricade themselves into bathrooms to avoid injury in the campus riots this spring. Did YOU enjoy that?? The democrats scream due process over violent criminals being deported, when they are here because they fled prosecution in their own countries. If you find deporting them so objectional (and every democrat apparently does - it's part of the Party philosophy), take one of the Venezuelan rapists into your home. Or perhaps you would prefer one of the child sexual predators. Maybe YOU could take one of each!! WOOT!!
"Hitler rhetoric". You wouldn't know 'rhetoric' if it smacked you in the nose. EVERY candidate for EVERY office tells their constituents that they will clean up the streets. The difference is, Trump meant it and is ACTUALLY doing it. And of course the democrats cry and whine and have temper tantrums - because that is what they do.
Hitler compared Jews to "vermin" to make them seem subhuman and gain support for killing them.
I will denounce Hamas for you. I don't think they care about civilians at all; their only motive is to make Israel appear evil on the world stage which they have succeeded in doing. I was surprised at the campus response to Israel after the atrocities on Oct 7 but Israel has a history of bulldozing of Palestinian homes, olive groves, and other acts of oppression for years which are bound to have built up anger and created terrorists in the Palestinian people. I understand Israel blew up whole neighborhoods if they believed a terrorist lived in a home there. This created anti-Israel sentiment in the US and a movement to disinvest in Israel.
I looked up HRC who said " “Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.” I certainly don't agree with her statement but that is a well-publicized way of getting people out of "cults" and some people actually believe Trump was "sent by God to save America." HRC is history.
The NYT investigated the 238 people who were imprisoned in El Salvador running the 238 names through three U.S. public records databases, checked backgrounds in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Chile, scoured court documents and news articles, spoke to dozens of family members and experts on Tren de Aragua. Of the 238, 32 have faced serious criminal accusations or convictions in the US or abroad, including an assault in Chicago, smuggling arms out of the United States and others accused of theft, strangulation, domestic battery or harboring undocumented immigrants. One has a homicide conviction in Venezuela, another was accused in Chile of kidnapping, drugging and raping a woman. Another two dozen of the men had been accused or found guilty of lower-level offenses in the US or elsewhere, including trespassing, speeding in a school zone and driving an improperly registered vehicle. The men have been sentenced to 1 year in the prison which Pres. Bukele called “renewable.”
I think many illegals fled poverty and violence in their home countries. Trump says with NO evidence that other countries emptied their prisons, mental institutions, etc. He has also offered NO evidence that the boats he is destroying are carrying drugs.
Believing Trump was sent by God to save America isn't cult behavior, it's a clumsy way of talking about God's actions in the lives of men. Watch the movie "Young Washington" that's coming out in theaters and you'll see why someone could say that about him. Would they be in a cult too and need deprogramming if they did believe that?
Biden said the Obama was "The first, clean, put together, well dressed, presentable black candidate we've had" (paraphrased) and Obama staffers where joking about the White House movie night and "what Obama would watch - probably "Driving Miss Daisy" and "The Color Purple" and they named other "black" movies, joking. Other emails were leaked that were really bad....I'm forgetting the right now (it was 10 or so years ago).
Who can forget Trump’s use of Hitler rhetoric from a Veteran’s Day speech, 2023 saying, “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like VERMIN within the confines of our country.”?
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made on Fox News on Oct. 16, "This interview proved that the Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."
I don't disagree with rooting out Marxists, Communists and Fascists, etc., would love to hear or see a link to the speech. And those young, no name Republicans, God almighty, it's blaming an entire political party for some texts that the Democrat media dug up somewhere and highlighted. It's all so fake. Meanwhile, they're cheering the murder of anyone they disagree with. The Democrats have all but destroyed middle class black America with welfare, etc.
He lied profusely and also added some Nazi rhetoric:
And today, especially in honor of our great veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, that lie and steal and cheat on elections and will do anything possible, they'll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American dream.
Thank you for that link. I actually read it (instead of listening) and it's different because we've all heard Trump speak 10000 times. The paragrapgh you reference near the end at 1:43 talks about the "radical left" not the entire left, not the regular joes. That wing of the democrat party that now controls it- wants a revolution in my opinion, but to what? What could be better then equal rights and equal opportunity for all? That's the best as humans can possibly do, right?
They're also promoting lawlessness. If you don't like the law, work to change it, but you can't pick and choose which laws you want to follow such as deporting illegals as every President has done for 70+ years.
I like1:24-33 where he says "I want sunlight" YES. He talks mostly about veterans issues. I appreciate you sending this, and I would give hime some Grace. He didn't mean you (unless you want a color revolution...:-) and he has a crude way of speaking sometimes but we need to hear what people actually think, not pre-polled catch prases. Thanks again NW Citizen. Nice way to start the day, with a good, wide-ranging, no holds barred speech.
Oh come on, trump thinks anyone on the left is "radical" and would like to prosecute anyone who says anything against him. And what about the comment White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made on Fox News on Oct. 16, "This interview proved that the Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals." I don't think they believe there are "regular joes" in the democratic party.
It wouldn't matter to those that hate him if he just acted "presidential." But it would matter to me. Since the election, our oldest offspring (33) has cut us out of his life. Well, he's talking to me some, but not his dad. It's really painful. Hard to defend this.
Making sure I understand: your son cut you and your husband out of his life because you supported and still support Trump? He won't even agree to disagree? This goes beyond sad and if there are grandchildren involved, it's tragic. I am thinking, based on my own political disagreements with my own family, if you had an otherwise strong and loving relationship with your son, there is nothing that Trump could say or do , no matter how obnoxious, that could tear it apart. Not at its core. You learn not to poke the bear. You don't kill the bear. This is on your son, not Trump.
Yes, it is beyond sad. And I thought we had a very positive and solid relationship. That's why it came out of left field. It is on him, for sure. As his mom, it is heart-crushing.
I was put in a similar situation while Trump was on his first run at the second term. I was so disappointed and stated so in a long discussion about boundaries, rights and individual freedoms and the values that I hoped I had raised them to have. The irony at the time was I had not yet become a Trump voter, was torn between choices and a friend had given me some Trump swag that led to the assumption that I was full on a "Trumper". It was a defining moment for me.
I am still a part of their lives, they did not ostracize me as threatened but our relationship is not the same. It is abhorrent the brainwashing and gaslighting that the left has created that breaks up families and friendships. I will pray for healing in your relationship.
I felt the same way about the No Kings protests as his meme. And I think my feeling is shared by millions & millions of Americans. Not sure how we get out of this loop. Probably not the way we prefer though.
I agree he is often over the top. But that is what he is. I like when there is a single set of rules thst all are supposed to follow and the punishment and prosecution for failing to do so is equally applied and enforced. I have yet to hear a progressive utter any of the above.
probably not. but the movies I watched as a younger person (9 to 5, Working Girl, Home Alone, etc.) typically had an Italian cab driver with a wonderful sense of VERY dry humor.
I'm a west coast gal and have relatives who are New Yorkers....talk about shock the first time I went to visit them! New Yorkers (not all of them, but plenty) love to "bust your chops".
After Ozzy died, a commenter on a Facebook post said that his father met Alice Cooper on a plane and they spent the whole time talking about golf. Alice said about his persona that it was just an act. Like vaudeville.
Trump, like Karyn said, is a New Yorker. And at that time New York was Don Imus and Howard Stern. Howard Stern had a particular audience with certain expectations, like the patrons of Cheers shouting "Sammy!! Sammy!!" Whenever Sam hooked up with a girl.
Liberals cannot factor out from Trump the stage persona that he built up over the years from himself.
Like the Access Hollywood tape. They cannot distinguish between two guys hamming it up for a mic check and a documentary. Good grief, why would anyone think to record that and then sit on it for eight years?
If only it were possible to get through to these people that everything they're upset about was taken out of context. Only a couple of weeks ago, was I wrestling with a woman still yelling that Trump said all Mexicans are rapists.
They're like those dolls with keys in their backs. Wind them up and they stagger about issuing upset with their silly signs because -- they think it makes them look cool.
That's perhaps the most risible aspect of the No Kings protests. The intellectually fossilized Boomers wailing like it's 1999 about a whole host of things they haven't bothered to truly understand.
Was just going to say that. So very sad to see all those boomers, apparently so unsatisfied with the past 50 years of their lives, need to return to their early 20’s behavior. Put on some clothes, gain some dignity and grow up already.
Watching all the elderly being wheeled out of the care centers in costumes with signs... I do have to wonder what *exactly* they were told they were doing.
And a LOT of us 'boomers' are looking google eyed at these idiots wondering what exactly were they smoking, 'back in the day'...
Yes, lots of drugs going around in those days (fresh from Vietnam, brought back from the soldiers who were there - that was the communist's plan). Those of us who were smart and/or had a decent home life and/or at least had a loving parent or 2, knew to "dabble" and then STOP.
.......and Sasha, they can't laugh at themselves. I believe in psychology they say that a mentally healthy person can laugh at themselves. Trump laughs at himself. At the Charlie Kirk funeral/memorial, Trump Jr. did a longish impression of Trump and Trump was seen in his seat laughing at it.
I overstated "laughing like crazy" - I was trying to get the point across that didn't just smirk or grin or chuckle, he laughed at the impression and thus, at himself. It was more of a memorial than a funeral - that's why the family didn't speak (except for Charlie's wife). They had a private funeral later.
Democrats cannot even censor a fellow Democrats who openly call for the killing of a Republican and his children — or the senior Dem in the House saying “people are going to die” — yet they are in an emotional crisis about Trump memes.
"The No Kings protest was yet more bad timing by the Democrats, who can’t read the room because they’re trapped inside a Doomsday Cult. Trump was once again on an upswing after making history in the Middle East.
It was tone deaf to be out there screeching, caterwauling, and, okay, dancing in magical unicorn and frog costumes, calling for Trump’s execution."
Well, there can't be a more precise and perfect democrat (dims) description than that. L O L! Right on, Sasha, as usual.
When parties still accuse each other of violations, trust is weak. Without fully functioning humanitarian corridors and reconstruction, relief is limited. The larger issues (governance of Gaza, disarmament, long-term agreement) are still unresolved. External diplomatic momentum is high (U.S. involvement, regional dynamics), but that also means the pressure is on and either party could back-slide.
I have tried to tell my 2 liberal friends that the point is not the video. He just does or says something because he knows it will cover the news pages and saturate all coverage, especially if it is against the norms. Everyone knows they will spend days talking about the craziest thing he says or does. Or he will take multiple issues that 80% of the public wants, some he probably doesn’t even support and say to put them up for a vote just to get Democrats on the record arguing against it. They are so blinded by their hate, they can't see they fall for it every single time. To be fair, I would probably have a bigger issue with this stuff IF they didn't spend every minute of every day punching down on the working and middle-class. They insult their intelligence, their traditional family values, their love of traditional holidays, their religion or their falling short of what Bible verses they've picked and chosen as most important, their desire to be in charge of their own children, their questioning of experts who have been wrong, what media sources they consume, and on and on and on. It's disgusting to me that they denigrate working people and their lifestyles as if they are cavemen. My favorite? Their absolute obsession with identity politics. They love to talk about how unhealthy, uneducated, and poor red states are in the south while pretending they care about minorities. The southern states have the largest per capita minority populations. They don't even notice it.
Yes, and I'd have a bigger issue with this stuff if the Dems hadn't paid for a bogus dossier, pushed it in the intelligent agencies as truth, lying on FISA warrants so they could spy on and prosecute Trump's supporters and administration workers, pushed the whole thing (that Trump colluded with Russia) nonstop and leaking it to the press so that it would be constant front page news and then doing investigation after investigation when they knew it was nothing but their own made up story, that they made up, as a part of their "resistance", to try and get Trump to resign. AND THEN THEY SHOT HIM.
On September 10, my 81 year old mother asked me, who's Charlie Kirk? They say he just got shot. Ten days later, she is wanting to use the DVR to record his memorial service.
After Elvis died, one guy quipped, "Great career move". His Estate increased tenfold in value. Likewise Charlie's reach, which was mainly college aged kids, expanded to include everyone. And there has been a surge of young people attending church and Bible sales are up 40% supposedly.
The Left should take a lesson from the Charlie Kirk assassination.
If they get their wish and someone assassinates Trump, it would make January 6, 2021 look like a day at Epcot.
They put the Harris signs up. We know where they live. They need to understand that they would not want to live in a post- Trump assassination world and many of them probably wouldn't live very long
My 80 year old mom also asked me a week earlier who he was and I sent her a video- now she watched his entire service and is a huge fan
Kinda like… triple black belts don’t need to go around instigating fights to prove themselves.
I have to agree. If they got their wish it would likely cause a lot of death and possibly another Civil War. Republicans would probably win this one just like the first.
Oh. There won't be anything civil about it
Correct
✅
If Trump gets shot by someone, that does not reflect on everyone with Harris signs in their yards. Just like if someone shoots Harris, it doesn't reflect on all with Trump signs in their yards. It's horrible to say "many of them probably wouldn't live long". Come on, we're not like that and WE are not going to hurt people just for being part of the nearly 50% of the population who voted Democrat.
If someone shoots Trump, all bets are off.
Liberals are liberals because they think, like a medieval peasant who believed in Spontaneous Generation, that everything happens in a vacuum. Furthermore, their behavior during Covid proves that they actually believe in Spontaneous Generation.
They think that if someone shoots Trump that it will be all rainbows and unicorns throughout the land. They lack the mental capacity to even speculate on the aftermath of what happens when they get their wish.
I see a lot of people on line saying things like "just do it already" and I see no one telling them to calm the rhetoric down. That means that the power brokers on the Left are using it to fundraise and they are hoping it happens.
If they don't start NOW stepping forward and telling these numbnuts to stop with the assassination fantasies, I promise you there will be no mercy.
I completely get where you're coming from. Liberals during 'Covid' made me lose all faith in society.
But we need to remember (as hard as it is) that the people celebrating Charlie Kirk getting shot are the minority of Democrats. The people who wish for Trump to be shot are the minority as well. The online echo chambers and the media just amplify the worst of the worst. We can't fall into the trap of thinking that people on the left deserve to be killed. Man it makes me sick just typing that...we are all humans and yes many humans have stupid ideas and say and do stupid things but to say 'there will be no mercy' for having a Kamala sign in the yard at some point...I think you know that's very, very wrong. I don't think you mean it.
"...fall into the trap of thinking that the people on the left - who kill Trump in cold blood - deserve to be killed". You left out the context of the comment. But I agree with you, a civil war leads to no good thing. Although, I'd consider it if these leftists (the minority of Democrats or not) start arresting us and putting us in jail for memes (as is happening in the UK), hauling us to reeducation camps (as suggested by H. Clinton and Katie Couric and others), or other unconstitutional/illegal things.
Sorry - ultimately not helpful.
I believe Kevin makes several excellent points; the first one being what a historically lousy idea it is to martyr one’s enemies. Just ask Henry II about that. I’m seeing it all around the country. Another is the illustration of the rottenness and pettiness of the progressives over the murder of a purely decent Christian and family man because he dared publicly debate the left wing madness. The left is losing ground and with each foot lost they grow more vicious and dangerous.
The final point he makes just illustrates their naïveté. They see violence on the one hand as a cinematic drama and when the curtain drops everyone goes home, and on the other hand, words and even silence is violence.
They appear to be suffering from an adult version of oppositional defiant disorder, possibly left over from the Sixties. From the footage the No Kings crowd appear to be the same people, and their disruptive conduct is credited with ending the Vietnam War. They’ve been riding a sugar high ever since.
My parents were protesters against the Viet Nam War... that was so different... they were called "Peaceniks"... but it's stunning that so many of that generation are now out protesting an imaginary king.
It also may be more likely that some of these older leftists were too young to participate in the 60s disruptions and are interested in joining in something they missed out on. Regardless, they have NO real cause whatsoever, and are a big joke.
J6 is the worst in my mind. Those regular, patriotic taxpaying citizens were ruined by the elites playing games. We really are subhuman in these people’s minds.
If the Democrats were sincere about anything they’d be cheering the Gaza ceasefire and marching into Nigeria to halt the genocide. They want the trappings of moral superiority while being spiritually bankrupt.
I'm so disturbed by the genocide of Christians in Nigeria. Perhaps we should be arming them.
Wait a sec - I thought it was Antifa infiltrating the peaceful J6th crowd to make 'em look bad.
And the FBI.
At least one person admitted he was Antifa. He took video of himself saying "We're going to burn it down" and "Let's break in there now", etc. Biden's DOJ did arrest him, probably because he did admit that he was Antifa. HE SAID HE WANTED TO GO TO THE CAPITOL TO MAKE MAGA LOOK BAD. He's in jail now (unless Trump pardoned him too).
This faoin claim refers to John Earle Sullivan, a self-described activist who was indeed present at the Capitol on J6. Sullivan was not a Trump supporter and had previously attended left-wing and Black Lives Matter–affiliated protests.
Major Antifa groups have denied any association with him, and there’s no verified evidence that he was an active member of Antifa.
Antifa, by the way, is not a single, unified organization — it’s a loosely connected movement made up of people and groups who oppose fascism, white nationalism, and far-right extremism that's trotted out time and again as if it is an single unified organization. Faoin again!
Sullivan filmed himself inside the Capitol during the riot and said things like “Let’s go! This [ghastly curse word!] is ours!” He was later arrested by the FBI and charged with several offenses related to unlawful entry and disorderly conduct. He sold his footage to media outlets for tens of thousands of dollars. He reportedly told others he wanted to “document” the chaos and later claimed he was there as a journalist — not as part of any political group.
There’s no evidence he coordinated with Antifa or that his actions were part of an Antifa plot to “make MAGA look bad.” That’s a rumor that spread widely on right-wing media but has never been substantiated by court filings or investigative reporting or fact or reality or anything resembling even a thimble of sanity. The overwhelming majority of those arrested and convicted for January 6 were Trump supporters or people motivated by pro-Trump or Stop the Steal rhetoric, not left-wing infiltrators.
Sullivan’s case is an isolated incident, not proof that Antifa orchestrated or participated in the broader attack but of course has been embraced by those who ebtrace conspiracy theory with open arms and hearts.
It must be another guy that you are talking about or it is this guy, but I got my "conspiracy theory" because I SAW A VIDEO WHERE HE SAID WHAT I SAID THAT HE SAID (well, paraphrased).......I distinctly remember that he said that he was there to "cause trouble" and he was "Antifa" and he said more than just "Let's go". BTW, how do you know he was the only (isolated) person? Did you talk to all of them individually? How many never got caught? There were more suspicious activities from that day, like the guys up on the scaffolding, but I don't have time to go into it here. BTW, I know that Antifa are many groups, not just one like BLM. I think Congress is going to do more digging, which is good.
FBI rose to prominence during the 12 year FDR admin and became the most feared agency among politicians, protesters and gays (oh, and leftists). Digest that for a while.
Exactly, they have to cheat to win.
Do you remember the office supply store with the Big Red EASY button?
Trump has a big, red EASY button, except it says "Trigger LIBS" . He smacks that booger several times Every Day, and every single time... It Works!!!
At this point I will put batteries on an auto-ship order to the White House to keep that button working.
Any publicity is good publicity!
The left has become humorless stuck up snobby bitches.
Become? They've been exactly that for a while now. Like hall monitors in junior high they wait to pounce on any whose utterances can be savaged as racist, homophobic, etc. If there are no such utterances on offer, simply make them up. Meanwhile the American people are laughing at them, prompted by the notes (memes) passed between desks depicting them as exactly what they are.
Watch the movie "Forrest Gump" and see how the far Left is portrayed in that movie by none other than lib Tom Hanks. See how overly serious the liberal characters are in their Vietnam protest marches and how the Marxist leaders put down and humiliate even their volunteers like Robin Wright's Jenny. Nothing ever changes. The Left has ALWAYS taken itself too seriously and is violent and very dangerous, as a result
The American Left is finally out of the closet as a death cult. The International Left has always been so (French Revolution, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, etc, etc) Google Thuletide and look up Leftism and Mental Illness, which reviews several psychiatric studies of the left dating back 100 years. Always the same stuff: low self esteem, anger, delusions, projections, love of violence, etc etc Maybe we should put Haldol in the water
It actually goes back to the Civil War.
You'd think they'd get a good chortle being shat on. I mean, a good poop joke is golden.
The clip of the conversation between Megyn Kelly and Emily Jashinsky drives home a very important point - the democrat media is so powerful and so deceitful in the way they edit reality, that the damage that they are doing in immeasurable. What comes out of CNN, MSNBC, etc. is not news, or even commentary, it’s very intentional partisan propaganda. Something must be done to put them in their place - they have no place in the White House press room, being treated like journalists. Corporate “news” needs to die. MSNBC is an infomercial for democrats.
I just discovered Emily Jashinsky... what a treasure (though I don't give a rats ass about any Housewives show). But she is so knowledgable and articulate about conservative positions. And an absolute brainiac Christian. While Charlie Kirk was at the top, and though no one will ever fill his shoes, I pray that there are dozens of Emilys in the offing and coming to the fore.
100%!!! Also, I listen to Megan Kelly's podcast, and many times Emily is on it, and Emily is now under the "MK" umbrella!!!!
Re my comment above, I think the media people on the non-left, with rare exceptions, need to stop relying on clips and soundbites of people like Maddow in their substacks and podcasts - instead of saying look at this, look at that, make your arguments with real words, logic, and morality.
Agreeing wholeheartedly, except for the part about "polished". Try as they might to look slick, they are never anything less than ham-handed.
And that's even an insult to ham!!!!
Corp media will die a natural death nobody watches anymore. It’s heading that way.
How are they so powerful? Do they decide elections? Can they overturn elections? Nope they have as much power as current conservative in fact on the internet even less because Facebook, Twitter all lean right now.
OUTSTANDING!!!!! LEFTISTS will NEVER get it...why????????? Because they part on the "PEACE" movement: Pretentious.......Emotional.........Arrogant..........Condescending...........Elitists.............They think that they are BETTER than you "commoners" and therefore your opinion about any and EVERY thing is beneath them!!! You notice that the "people" interviewed at these "No Kings" displays over the country, when someone wants to engage them in a discussion, they will say "F off" and walk away. They DO NOT want to engage, because they are DEATHLY afraid of being exposed.
When you’ve outsourced your critical thinking to be part of an in group, you can’t afford to speak. On the one hand, if you misspeak the dogma or even hint at less than fanatical devotion to the permission structure, you’ll be cast out of the morally superior in every way group and relegated to the subhuman brutes on the other side of the aisle. And on the other hand, their views of everything are completely unexamined, instant reward without any thought to second and third order effects, based entirely on irrational emotions and are often insane and that’s obvious to anyone even casually observing. Best for the committed wokester to keep his trap shut.
I worked in Hollywood for 26 years and fell for the groupthink. I had to move out of state to become a free thinker. And that cost me many friendships. But it was worth it, and now I have friends who are well read, who think for themselves, and have the courage of their convictions - like @realsashastone
When I moved from South Carolina to central Puget Sound 22 years ago I did so as a young liberal. When I leave here it will be as a Christian conservative. I see firsthand the end results of combining toxic empathy with self righteousness. Seattle looks like ground zero for Revelation.
It's also a factor of only listening to legacy media, which turns out to be Democrat propaganda.
Saving that PEACE ✌️ descriptor! 🥰
Democrats are truly the party of illegals and criminals. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be all in on keeping illegals here and criminals out of jail.
You mean foills like trump and santos?
And how they say they care about the Epstein girls while pretending that Irina Zarutska and Logan Federico didn’t exist. How can they claim to care about former 14 year old white girls when they have no concern about 22-23 year old white girls?
You are correct on part of it is to suffocate the narrative so Democrats do not have a voice. Bad news is still good news if your foe cant get a word in edge wise. Media has to report everything bad about Trump giving no way to get anything from democrats thus is makes them weaker its a vicious cycle and for Trump its his ultimate revenge against the party he wants to make them gone and a one party system.
Trump doesn't want a one-party system, he wants the decades long, DEMOCRAT one-party system that we've had, to be gone and sane, constitutional republic loving, non-USA hating Democrat party like JFK, Jefferson and others, to be in their place. But I don't know if they can learn from JFK and other Democrats from the past....
I want a no party system. I want state legislatures to appoint. UNBOUNDED Electors or have the governors pull names out of a hat. Get rid of parties, primaries, campaigns and meaningless elections. It works for the Vatican there is no reason we can and don't do the same
Well, Vatican election is for top leader from their own ranks; the leader in turn appoints next level Cardinals and Bishops to open positions. I would think in states etc. you’d end up with similar purely political alignments where a Dem/Rep leader appoints folks, leaves office, they elect another Dem/Rep leader
And yet ... how many Catholics run around saying, "not my Pope"?
The Cardinals elect a Pope and a billion Catholics worldwide celebrate.
We elect a president and half the country is angry.
The Catholic Church doesn't have endless four year cycles.
If we had appointed Electors, the Electors would show up vote and go home and let Congress sort the rest. We wouldn't have families torn apart and friends abandoning each other over who they voted for.
I use the Catholic Church because it is an extant organization. The Holy Roman Emperor was elected by Electors, which would have been mainly every prince and duke of every little enclave. I would imagine that was the model that the Framers had in mind when they came up with the idea of the electoral college.
Picking names out of hat wouldn't give a worse result than what we have already lived through
Democrats could have a voice. All they have to do is not be crazy. It’s a pretty low bar. But they can’t seem to find their way back to sanity.
I don't understand why the fairly normal ones like Fetterman don't stand up and fight the crazy lefties. What are they so afraid of? Blackmail?
I’ve said for a long time they are all terrified of each other. They know what the crazy leftists are capable of.
The ONLY reason why you like Fetterman is because he agreed with Trump nothing else.
Who said I liked Fetterman? He's just rational and well-intentioned, unlike most of his colleagues.
The only reason is he agreed with Trump thats it if he runs for office the same old tired cliches of Socialism, Baby murders, Stalinist, Satanists come out.
The left went insane because they refused to understand that the American people never wanted the left's smug self-righteousness and their policies. They refuse to take responsibility for their own failures. Above all, Americans despise how the left especially from Obama on, divided "We the people." Trump, warts and all, was the collective right's answer to that insult.
They still don’t understand their imperious “how dare you”s have finally produced the reaction they fear most - ridicule. And the more they scream “how dare you”, the more ridicule they will get.
Maybe soon they will figure out that taking their cue from a mentally disturbed teenager was a really bad idea.
Making a video showing yourself dropping poop on people from a plane is not crazy?
Welcome back NW, did you have a great costume and sign for your No Kings protest?
Memes are jokes. They are not IRL, unlike trans surgeries, open borders, censorship, assassination attempts and success, support for Muslim terrorists, etc, etc.
I know it’s hard for you to understand, but you guys need to figure it out. It’s called reality.
Do you find this funny?

Everyone Laughs at Poop-Smeared Mike Johnson in AI Vengeance Video
As I said before, I’ll leave the obsessing over what is or isn’t funny to you.
Do you find this funny?
Did you enjoy the "new generation" of Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont exchanging racist and anti-semitic Telegram chats? They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. I guess they are trump' successors.
Why do you insist on talking about talk, and completely ignore actions in the real world? Do I need to list the real world actions again?
I guess you prefer to stay in your copy, paste world of outrage. Ridiculous accusations, silly costumes and signs. Guitars and pathetic sing-a-longs. Oh my God, Trump is ridiculing you! Oh the horror!
The real joke is that somehow you actually think you deserve respect.
Oh, the Dems have a voice. The media shouts every word they say. 24/7/365. And what isn't true, they will make up (see the four years of the Biden administration). Even crap that is SO easy to check! They used footage of a Trump rally from August of 2024 for their "No Kings Rally" footage for Boston. It's pathetic. And when you call them out on it, they cry 'Victim' because you are picking on them.... SYCMU
The only Dem NOT screeching is John Fetterman.
The only reason why you like Fetterman is his agreements with Trump
The reason many of us point to Fetterman is he acts like a real PERSON. I'm from Pennsylvania, live 13 miles away from his home, and know he is the same guy he was when he was mayor of Braddock, PA (population under 2,000).
I suspect you were not saying that during his election
I have never heard Trump talk about re-education camps for liberals like we heard from Hillary Clinton for conservatives, to wipe their minds clean of any conservative thoughts. And Trump has not tried to prosecute and imprison peaceful protesters as the Left did January 6 conservative protesters. Only a very few J6 protesters were accused of and prosecuted for violence; trespassing and "disturbing the peace" were the biggest indicted offense, which is a nothing-burger the libs do every day on Federal property.
Indeed the dems have no voice. Absolutely no voice, it’s so true. They only have NBCCBSABCNYTWaPoNPRWSJMessNBCCNNMcClatchyUSAToday.
Why Trump has everything else. Poor democrats leftists, silenced to the max.
OTA is not dominant or a big voice for a long time now. USA-Today is a mid newspaper in a bygone era
No idea what OTA means.
But hilarious. Just what sources do you think those geriatric white and blue haired decrepit boomer protestors get their gnus from ? Hmmmm?
Over the air very basics of Broadcasting OTR is Over the radio. The funny aspect you think liberal humor is disgusting while MAGA Trumps is just as toxic and not funny its just which political spectrum you are on.
And you still don’t get that NBCCBSABCNYTWaPoNPRWSJMessNBCCNNMcClatchyUSAToday is where the leftists get their propaganda fix.
I’m done.
One thing that is curious is if Trump will be 82.5 at the end of his 2nd and final term, why has he commissioned the WH ballroom to be built? According to our trusty AI, with the 90 sq ft $200 million construction beginning September 2025 incl major renovation/ modernization of a historic wing, a reasonable timeline might be about 2.5 to 3.5 years (depending on complexity, permit delays, surprises in historic structure, etc) to completion, placing a realistic “ready for guests” window at mid-2028 to late-2028.
So he's trying to turn the WH into Mar-a-lago when he won't be around to use it? Sounds fishy.
And your point is? Oh, I forgot, you don't have one.
In trying to insult poor Whites, they succeed only in insulting poor Blacks.
And why is it that Texas is among the most "poorly educated" states? Mexicans. 50 years or so ago, Austin used to rival Berkeley for highest level of education per capita. What happened? Mexicans.
Whenever they post a list of the states with the highest crime rates, I respond with a list of the states with the highest black populations. 7 of 10 match
The crime stats basically map on to Fatherless Sons Syndrome. It is not a surprise that Demos had nothing to say about rising illegitimacy. But why did Repos also have nothing to say about that? First-rate Face Plant.
Somewhat snarky comment about our dearly beloved site-owner ...
If her child had been a boy, he would probably have been dysfunctional, due to lack of a male model (so to speak). Such are the Random Events that control our lives ... (Random Events are common in war-games. I have about 300 of those in my closet. So I am a closet war-gamer ...)
Sacha's daughter has made a good life and has no felonies on her record. It's not just fatherless boys who are committing crimes, it's the girls as well these days.
Likely no one on the Trump team makes videos. They get posted on Truth Social or elsewhere and he or someone else reposts until he sees it and makes it go viral.
Look in the mirror GOP keep telling Democrats how wrong they are as well on every issue. Its very sickening to hear both sides tell only how wrong the other side is and they dont give a flying fuck about their side when in power.
Yeah, trotting out the old "but it was a joke!" excuse. Evah so clevah.
Today I was chatting with a friend who told me that her best friend since childhood watches the View religiously and is hoping that someone shoots Trump. I'm sure there's no connection between that parade of ignoramuses and a viewer's murderous impulses.
The gloves have been off for a while - 14 years ago Democrats created an ad showing moderate Congressman Paul Ryan pushing Granny off a cliff over his Medicare Proposal .
https://youtu.be/OGnE83A1Z4U?si=Z5audD0Fv9cTrqlM
Of course, under Joe Biden, Granny was sent to an assisted living facility to die alone from Covid.
Yes, I often wonder if we can class-action sue the media for their murderous brainwashing.
I do not understand how the FCC regulated broadcast media get away with telling the public lies (propaganda). Telling the truth seems like a minimum standard to me, or they can all give up their licenses and become unregulated podcasts
obama signed a law that made it legal for the IC to commit propaganda on the people of USA and thats what they've done.
What's the law called? My congress people are total lefty loons.
Smith Mundt outlawed propaganda. When B-HOle updated they did away with the protections.
Yes, I just heard that. Ok, where's Congress on changing that law right now? I'm going to email my Congressman. I suggest you do the same and spread the word.
Luigi clones. Its shocking this was once the flower child movement and turned into a geriatric dead weed movement. I am glad they have septum rings and blue hair so I can avoid them.
I love the meme JD posted with Trump putting on a crown and robe and taking out his sword while Nancy and company are bowing to him. (Of course, repurposing their dumb bowing in 2020).
That one was done by the Dilley Meme Team. Both Trump the pilot and Trump the king. The White House had Dilley come in and give a seminar on messaging. Top shelf.
We must give credit to the artists who put these brilliantly funny memes together. I feel sorry for the Trump-deranged who are so blinded by fanaticism that they can't see how lop-sided and self-righteous they are.
Why can't those sour pusses take a joke? Because then they'd have to face the sinkhole of corruption that the Democrat party has become. Sad.
That was the best one.
❤️ it SO much!
I love Trump. I think he is the greatest president ever. He makes presidenting look easy. Thanks Sasha for showing the jet flyover meme! I hadn’t seen it and it is hilarious 😆
"He makes presidenting look easy"
Priceless. He was made for this job.
Lets hope she does not get sued for it
You should recreate this in your shamanic healings! Replace stagnant energy with certified fresh Trump fecal innards!
I can't wrap my head around the amount of old people at these rallies. I'm old and apparently have wrongly assumed others of my generation had well defined moral character. Biden draped the Whitehouse with pride flags. Promoted to high office a litany of strange, in my opinion, mentally ill people. Of which, none were good at their jobs. I live in a somewhat rural area of NE Ohio. In November we're choosing 2 new trustees. One candidate moved here from NY. Before moving, changed his name from Bradley Stephen Heutmaker to Amy S. Heutmaker. Works as a counselor specializing in LGBTQIA. Now he wants a political position, and I see his signs in people's yards and wonder, who are these people? There is literally nowhere to hide from the ones practicing dark arts. This feels so manufactured.
A long ago acquaintance changed names and all that goes with it... I asked why, and got the whole gender/identity wonk. I was like, huh. weird. Of course I got blasted, and told I *had* to accept them!!!!! Um, no, not really - if YOU couldn't accept you, why should I?
Never accept perverts. Instead do everything possible to make them miserable and suicidal...
Great retort Karyn!
Thank you!
I'd like to know what % of the old are doing this. I'm not much for sociality but I don't know anybody this stupid... And I am old...
In fact all the oldsters I know are totally tuned out of politics, and this is a blue state.
I'm 65. I have a lot of friends on FB and the ones I see / post a lot are definitely conservative or middle ground. There are 4 or 5 that are *rabid* democrats, and I mean that in every definition. They foam at the mouth, and bite-bite-bite. Thrash around and make a lot of noise. None of which makes any sense unless you're rabid too.
Maybe there is a $$ incentive
Yo Lily -- I live just south of you in Bainbridge(!), having escaped Chicago 4 years ago to reside where there was some semblance of sanity. I tell all my friends to check out Sasha, and I'm old too! God bless, and thanks for the heads-up about your candidate. Arg.
May God bless you also 🙏
THE funniest meme/video EVER showed Newsom at his press conference talking, but located in a Trump hat shop. In time, Trump walked over to him, put a Trump hat on him, patted Newsom and kept walking.
Not long after that meme video, Newsom was sitting and talking to a group of people. He was SO upset that he had received 2 dozen Trump hats. The audience laughed. Newsom said, "This is SERIOUS!"
So, Newsome really got upset over getting Trump hats in the mail? I just want know that is really true.
Not just A hat, but two dozen hats. He then went on to make (could just be photos) to make hats, and other merchandise, like Trump's, but with his name, etc. I THINK Newsom was wanting his audience to get mad about the hats, but they laughed hard. So did I.
I watched him on some podcast. He detests Trump. He claimed it's because of his calling him Newscum. He claimed his son asked him what it meant.
According to Newsom, he told Charlie Kirk (on a podcast) that his son was a big fan of Kirk. This podcast was before Kirk was killed.
😂🤣😂
The whole hats thing really WAS funny. It never showed the audience, but they certainly did laugh. I thought it was hysterical.
Trump knows how to read the room and he's just hilarious. He knows the left is going to freak out. That's half the fun!
I hadn't tracked Emily Jashinsky before but she is right that it is a dangerous time. Conservatives like to think that the fever has broken but they are wrong. Even if 80-20 becomes 95-5 that makes them more dangerous not less. As the circle gets smaller, it goes underground and becomes conspiritorial and violent.
We're already seeing the violent side.
It is going to get worse.
Yes, it is. Fortunately, I am prepared. But I do need to get some bear spray, and a taser. or maybe a cattle prod!
I was dubious of preppers but I think this is a legit worry- and locally because of who that crowd consisted of
If the dems ever come into power again, we will need to worry. Look at Mamdani and New York now.
I would suggest additional hardware and training but at any rate keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.
absolutely
Emily is fantastic!!!
You need to watch her “Afterparty” show on YouTube
Emily's After Party podcast is one of the best!
The left's sense of humor has left
Their thinking really is messed
They've become what they say they detest
The thing is they're all TDS'd.
It's different for those on the right
(After what was a very dark night)
Our President knows how to fight
And the future looks ever so bright!
Now put it to music!
BRAVO!!!
Excellent!
Awesome Andrew!
Did you enjoy the "new generation" of Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont exchanging racist and anti-semitic Telegram chats? They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.” Peter Giunta, on the upcoming vote on whether he should become chair of the Young Republican National Federation (GOP’s 15,000-member political organization for Republicans between 18 and 40 years old) said, "everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”
Repubs excuse it saying "Boys will be boys." I guess these are Trump successors.
Free speech for Kimmel but not for trump ( and of course any trump voter)? That my friends is the threat to democracy danger zone. Give Kenny a hanky.
"No Kings" seemed like the product of an advertising agency with the insight and depth of skill demonstrated in the infamous Gillette and Bud Light campaigns. Good luck with that! But, by all means feel free to double down on it now that there is no USAID funding for it.
They have Soros instead. Hopefully Kash and the DOJ can do something about that.
I only have an IQ of 142 so I am not smart enough to dumb myself down enough to understand how a liberal thinks.
The Army has been planning a celebration for its 250th birthday for a couple of years.
Trump says, tongue-in-cheek, that happens to be on my birthday. I want a parade for the Army.
The liberals freak out and say, "ONLY KINGS HAVE PARADES ON THEIR BIRTHDAY" Really? Where'd they come up with that? Who thinks like that? I don't live in a country with a king so I wouldn't associate those two.
So instead of honoring the very Army that allows them to protest in the first place, they give it the middle finger and host their "No kings" street festival. They could have watched the parade which was very nice, but they can't get over their hate.
But No Kings 2.0? Whose birthday was Saturday?
I have an IQ of 425 and a 13 inch dick which is why I had the entire parade uploaded directly into my Elon Musk neuralink so I can absorb it subliminally at all times.
THIS COMMENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY COINBASE.
Nope, all grass-roots with home-made signs.
I love Trump and my support for him has never wavered--not from the minute he came down the escalator until now. He is my president!!!! BUT...and I know I am going to get all kinds of guff for this...my thought is that although I believe everyone should play by the same rules, giving Trump the all-clear to do so, I think he goes too far. I get that he has been attacked and attacked and attacked and that his instinct is to defend and retaliate. In fact, this same protective instinct is the building block /the very foundation for how he defends America to other countries, and I admire and depend on that! I also understand that his intent in playing into all the lies about him is to show how ludicrous they are. Understanding AND AGREEING with all this , I still wish he would tone it down.
Nothing Trump does compares with the sociopaths who hate him. Let Trump be Trump, because humor is the best medicine against Democrat violence, hate and insanity.
Agree, but so many people (including conservatives) are totally uneducated on what the sociopaths did (and still do)! In fact, I'd have a bigger issue with the "poo out the plane meme" if the Dems hadn't paid for a bogus dossier, pushed it in the intelligent agencies as truth, lying on FISA warrants so they could spy on and prosecute Trump's supporters and administration workers, pushed the whole thing (that Trump colluded with Russia) nonstop and leaking it to the press so that it would be constant front page news and then doing investigation after investigation when they knew it was nothing but their own made up story, that they made up, as a part of their "resistance" to try and get Trump to resign or be impeached. AND THEN THEY SHOT HIM.
I know. I know. I know.
I know. I know. I know. I agree with every dissenting word. EVERY SINGLE ONE. I just can't stand the GARBAGE that IS politics.
I know. I know. I know.
Yeah, why don't the lefties get more upset over comparing everyone on the right to a Nazi? And we're getting shot....I think it's the media. That's also why the Dems have such bad candidates. They're not culled through primaries or tough questioning, they just promote and support the most corrupt ones who'll do what they say.
They seriously think we ARE nazis - the dem elite tells them so, so it must be. I read something a while back, here in a substack, that the more they can label and dehumanize the right, the more the libs and dems feel justified in eliminating the 'evil' that the dem leaders and elites claim the right has become...
Yes, and their dark leaders know this (though some, like AOC, probably believe it. She talks about MAGA and she's really just describing her and her party with all the labels and boxes they put everyone in).
Who can forget Trump’s use of Hitler rhetoric from a Veteran’s Day speech, 2023 saying, “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like VERMIN within the confines of our country.”?
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made on Fox News on Oct. 16, "This interview proved that the Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."
Did you enjoy the "new generation" of Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont exchanging racist and anti-semitic Telegram chats? They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
Did you enjoy Kammie and Barry's Hitler salute? And let's not forget the sweet suggestion from Paula Collins (and backed by Hillary Clinton) about putting conservatives and republicans in (ahem) "re-education camps" after removing their children and putting them in (ahem) "schools" to give them a "better" Civics 'understanding' - all applauded by the likes of Katie Couric, Eugene Robinson, and Michael Beller, among the democrats. And who can forget Jen Psaki's cute little Soviet emblem embellished pink fur hat... nothing like a Hammer and Sickle to scream "Democracy", eh? The only people who have forgotten Jay Jones' desire to put 2 bullets in the head of his opponent in front of his kids, and then kill his children is apparently DEMOCRATS - as JJ is currently running and in the lead for his representative seat. Did YOU enjoy that? Did YOU 'enjoy' the assassination of Charlie Kirk?
As for the 'new generation' of the Young Republicans Club, they have been soundly denounced by a very large percentage of republicans *AND* conservatives. They won't be moving up in the hierarchy anytime soon - unlike Graham Platner, who is expected to win his seat in the Maine election - his swastika tattoo on his chest notwithstanding... haven't heard a peep about *that* but an image of a swastika on a US flag in an office is a National Security threat and emergency....
As for Karoline... is she wrong? I haven't seen a single democrat denounce Hamas. I haven't seen or heard or read about DEMOCRATS denouncing the kidnapping of an 8 month old baby, who was later strangled by the hands of his captors. I haven't seen or heard or read about DEMOCRATS denouncing the kidnap, rape and torture of Israeli woman (quite the opposite actually). I haven't seen a single democrat stand up for the Jewish students spat on, harassed, barred from attending classes, and who had to barricade themselves into bathrooms to avoid injury in the campus riots this spring. Did YOU enjoy that?? The democrats scream due process over violent criminals being deported, when they are here because they fled prosecution in their own countries. If you find deporting them so objectional (and every democrat apparently does - it's part of the Party philosophy), take one of the Venezuelan rapists into your home. Or perhaps you would prefer one of the child sexual predators. Maybe YOU could take one of each!! WOOT!!
"Hitler rhetoric". You wouldn't know 'rhetoric' if it smacked you in the nose. EVERY candidate for EVERY office tells their constituents that they will clean up the streets. The difference is, Trump meant it and is ACTUALLY doing it. And of course the democrats cry and whine and have temper tantrums - because that is what they do.
Hitler compared Jews to "vermin" to make them seem subhuman and gain support for killing them.
I will denounce Hamas for you. I don't think they care about civilians at all; their only motive is to make Israel appear evil on the world stage which they have succeeded in doing. I was surprised at the campus response to Israel after the atrocities on Oct 7 but Israel has a history of bulldozing of Palestinian homes, olive groves, and other acts of oppression for years which are bound to have built up anger and created terrorists in the Palestinian people. I understand Israel blew up whole neighborhoods if they believed a terrorist lived in a home there. This created anti-Israel sentiment in the US and a movement to disinvest in Israel.
I looked up HRC who said " “Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.” I certainly don't agree with her statement but that is a well-publicized way of getting people out of "cults" and some people actually believe Trump was "sent by God to save America." HRC is history.
The NYT investigated the 238 people who were imprisoned in El Salvador running the 238 names through three U.S. public records databases, checked backgrounds in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Chile, scoured court documents and news articles, spoke to dozens of family members and experts on Tren de Aragua. Of the 238, 32 have faced serious criminal accusations or convictions in the US or abroad, including an assault in Chicago, smuggling arms out of the United States and others accused of theft, strangulation, domestic battery or harboring undocumented immigrants. One has a homicide conviction in Venezuela, another was accused in Chile of kidnapping, drugging and raping a woman. Another two dozen of the men had been accused or found guilty of lower-level offenses in the US or elsewhere, including trespassing, speeding in a school zone and driving an improperly registered vehicle. The men have been sentenced to 1 year in the prison which Pres. Bukele called “renewable.”
I think many illegals fled poverty and violence in their home countries. Trump says with NO evidence that other countries emptied their prisons, mental institutions, etc. He has also offered NO evidence that the boats he is destroying are carrying drugs.
I'm sure Kilmar Abrego Garcia would agree with everything you said.
Believing Trump was sent by God to save America isn't cult behavior, it's a clumsy way of talking about God's actions in the lives of men. Watch the movie "Young Washington" that's coming out in theaters and you'll see why someone could say that about him. Would they be in a cult too and need deprogramming if they did believe that?
Biden said the Obama was "The first, clean, put together, well dressed, presentable black candidate we've had" (paraphrased) and Obama staffers where joking about the White House movie night and "what Obama would watch - probably "Driving Miss Daisy" and "The Color Purple" and they named other "black" movies, joking. Other emails were leaked that were really bad....I'm forgetting the right now (it was 10 or so years ago).
I think spouting all the old racist tropes used to denigrate blacks is worse than slips of the tongue.
Who can forget Trump’s use of Hitler rhetoric from a Veteran’s Day speech, 2023 saying, “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like VERMIN within the confines of our country.”?
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made on Fox News on Oct. 16, "This interview proved that the Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."
I don't disagree with rooting out Marxists, Communists and Fascists, etc., would love to hear or see a link to the speech. And those young, no name Republicans, God almighty, it's blaming an entire political party for some texts that the Democrat media dug up somewhere and highlighted. It's all so fake. Meanwhile, they're cheering the murder of anyone they disagree with. The Democrats have all but destroyed middle class black America with welfare, etc.
Trump’s Veterans Day Attack 2023
https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/transcript/donald-trump-speech-political-rally-claremont-new-hampshire-november-11-2023/
He lied profusely and also added some Nazi rhetoric:
And today, especially in honor of our great veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, that lie and steal and cheat on elections and will do anything possible, they'll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American dream.
Thank you for that link. I actually read it (instead of listening) and it's different because we've all heard Trump speak 10000 times. The paragrapgh you reference near the end at 1:43 talks about the "radical left" not the entire left, not the regular joes. That wing of the democrat party that now controls it- wants a revolution in my opinion, but to what? What could be better then equal rights and equal opportunity for all? That's the best as humans can possibly do, right?
They're also promoting lawlessness. If you don't like the law, work to change it, but you can't pick and choose which laws you want to follow such as deporting illegals as every President has done for 70+ years.
I like1:24-33 where he says "I want sunlight" YES. He talks mostly about veterans issues. I appreciate you sending this, and I would give hime some Grace. He didn't mean you (unless you want a color revolution...:-) and he has a crude way of speaking sometimes but we need to hear what people actually think, not pre-polled catch prases. Thanks again NW Citizen. Nice way to start the day, with a good, wide-ranging, no holds barred speech.
Oh come on, trump thinks anyone on the left is "radical" and would like to prosecute anyone who says anything against him. And what about the comment White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made on Fox News on Oct. 16, "This interview proved that the Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals." I don't think they believe there are "regular joes" in the democratic party.
He didn't add Nazi rhetoric. I'd say that at least a million people since Hitler have called people "vermin".
Hitler is the best known and his pronouncements had the most drastic consequences.
It wouldn't matter to those that hate him if he just acted "presidential." But it would matter to me. Since the election, our oldest offspring (33) has cut us out of his life. Well, he's talking to me some, but not his dad. It's really painful. Hard to defend this.
Making sure I understand: your son cut you and your husband out of his life because you supported and still support Trump? He won't even agree to disagree? This goes beyond sad and if there are grandchildren involved, it's tragic. I am thinking, based on my own political disagreements with my own family, if you had an otherwise strong and loving relationship with your son, there is nothing that Trump could say or do , no matter how obnoxious, that could tear it apart. Not at its core. You learn not to poke the bear. You don't kill the bear. This is on your son, not Trump.
Yes, it is beyond sad. And I thought we had a very positive and solid relationship. That's why it came out of left field. It is on him, for sure. As his mom, it is heart-crushing.
I was put in a similar situation while Trump was on his first run at the second term. I was so disappointed and stated so in a long discussion about boundaries, rights and individual freedoms and the values that I hoped I had raised them to have. The irony at the time was I had not yet become a Trump voter, was torn between choices and a friend had given me some Trump swag that led to the assumption that I was full on a "Trumper". It was a defining moment for me.
I am still a part of their lives, they did not ostracize me as threatened but our relationship is not the same. It is abhorrent the brainwashing and gaslighting that the left has created that breaks up families and friendships. I will pray for healing in your relationship.
Thank you. He needs the prayers.
So sorry to hear this. Did you send them to college? Were they indoctrinated and brainwashed there
How circular! Get educated to expand your mind! Get educated to be brainwashed!
So sorry to hear this. Did you send him to college? Was he indoctrinated and brainwashed there
Also, do your kids go to church with you? did your son go to church with you?
I felt the same way about the No Kings protests as his meme. And I think my feeling is shared by millions & millions of Americans. Not sure how we get out of this loop. Probably not the way we prefer though.
Yeah, me either, let's brainstorm some ideas. Here's mine:
An honest media would help. Also WINNING helps.
So did I.
I agree he is often over the top. But that is what he is. I like when there is a single set of rules thst all are supposed to follow and the punishment and prosecution for failing to do so is equally applied and enforced. I have yet to hear a progressive utter any of the above.
He's a New Yorker... Like an Italian cabbie, but funnier (and richer).
I doubt there are many Italian cabbies these days. And this subject can open up many cans of worms
probably not. but the movies I watched as a younger person (9 to 5, Working Girl, Home Alone, etc.) typically had an Italian cab driver with a wonderful sense of VERY dry humor.
Things have definitely changed
I'm a west coast gal and have relatives who are New Yorkers....talk about shock the first time I went to visit them! New Yorkers (not all of them, but plenty) love to "bust your chops".
I know. I know. I know.
After Ozzy died, a commenter on a Facebook post said that his father met Alice Cooper on a plane and they spent the whole time talking about golf. Alice said about his persona that it was just an act. Like vaudeville.
Trump, like Karyn said, is a New Yorker. And at that time New York was Don Imus and Howard Stern. Howard Stern had a particular audience with certain expectations, like the patrons of Cheers shouting "Sammy!! Sammy!!" Whenever Sam hooked up with a girl.
Liberals cannot factor out from Trump the stage persona that he built up over the years from himself.
Like the Access Hollywood tape. They cannot distinguish between two guys hamming it up for a mic check and a documentary. Good grief, why would anyone think to record that and then sit on it for eight years?
Yep. And per usual two sets of rules when it comes to outlandish stuff
If only it were possible to get through to these people that everything they're upset about was taken out of context. Only a couple of weeks ago, was I wrestling with a woman still yelling that Trump said all Mexicans are rapists.
They're like those dolls with keys in their backs. Wind them up and they stagger about issuing upset with their silly signs because -- they think it makes them look cool.
That's perhaps the most risible aspect of the No Kings protests. The intellectually fossilized Boomers wailing like it's 1999 about a whole host of things they haven't bothered to truly understand.
TDS progressed into full blown dementia.
I think they're wailing like it's 1969.
Was just going to say that. So very sad to see all those boomers, apparently so unsatisfied with the past 50 years of their lives, need to return to their early 20’s behavior. Put on some clothes, gain some dignity and grow up already.
Watching all the elderly being wheeled out of the care centers in costumes with signs... I do have to wonder what *exactly* they were told they were doing.
And a LOT of us 'boomers' are looking google eyed at these idiots wondering what exactly were they smoking, 'back in the day'...
Yes, lots of drugs going around in those days (fresh from Vietnam, brought back from the soldiers who were there - that was the communist's plan). Those of us who were smart and/or had a decent home life and/or at least had a loving parent or 2, knew to "dabble" and then STOP.
.......and Sasha, they can't laugh at themselves. I believe in psychology they say that a mentally healthy person can laugh at themselves. Trump laughs at himself. At the Charlie Kirk funeral/memorial, Trump Jr. did a longish impression of Trump and Trump was seen in his seat laughing at it.
Laughing like crazy at a funeral! Cat C! How sacrelicious!
I overstated "laughing like crazy" - I was trying to get the point across that didn't just smirk or grin or chuckle, he laughed at the impression and thus, at himself. It was more of a memorial than a funeral - that's why the family didn't speak (except for Charlie's wife). They had a private funeral later.
Keep in mind….
Democrats cannot even censor a fellow Democrats who openly call for the killing of a Republican and his children — or the senior Dem in the House saying “people are going to die” — yet they are in an emotional crisis about Trump memes.
"The No Kings protest was yet more bad timing by the Democrats, who can’t read the room because they’re trapped inside a Doomsday Cult. Trump was once again on an upswing after making history in the Middle East.
It was tone deaf to be out there screeching, caterwauling, and, okay, dancing in magical unicorn and frog costumes, calling for Trump’s execution."
Well, there can't be a more precise and perfect democrat (dims) description than that. L O L! Right on, Sasha, as usual.
Isn't the jury still out on that one?
When parties still accuse each other of violations, trust is weak. Without fully functioning humanitarian corridors and reconstruction, relief is limited. The larger issues (governance of Gaza, disarmament, long-term agreement) are still unresolved. External diplomatic momentum is high (U.S. involvement, regional dynamics), but that also means the pressure is on and either party could back-slide.
