Ron Filipkowski All he had to do to keep his seat in Congress was stay quiet and go with the program like dozens of other House Republicans who despise Trump. But he opposed Trump knowing it was the right thing to do while costing him personally. His message resonates with key voters we need. Quote Acyn Kinzinger: Listen, to my fellow Republicans, if you still pledge allegiance to those principles, I suspect you belong here too. Because democracy knows no party.
If Trump came to town I'd stay up half the night painting a 'DIE TRUMP DIE!' placard, and wave it while yelling "BOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!" with a bitter scowl of scorn on my face, because FUCK that orange bastard.
I wonder if Trump will get creative, and rather than lynching Vance by hanging, will opt for throwing him out of a window, or having him 'fall' down some stairs, or stage a fake suicide, like in LA Confidential.
@PhoenixGee@housepanther@shoq Hopefully if they lose often, and badly enough, they'll begin to understand that America just isn't into sucking Putin's dick, building Nazi death-camps for immigrants, and forcing women to butcher themselves with coat hangers, so they aren't obliged to deliver their rapist's baby.
Kamala is the vehicle, and heat-seeking missile that the electorate will aim at Trump, fire, and blow him up, with a disastrous loss. Trump is going to have to stage a coup, he's not going to win (fairly).
Trump losing the election doesn't faze him, since he knows if all else fails he can fall back on another bloody-coup, and we'll sit back and take it, like we did last time.
Rand had surgery for lung cancer in 1974 after decades of heavy smoking.[116] In 1976, she retired from her newsletter and, despite her lifelong objections to any government run program, was enrolled in and subsequently claimed Social Security and Medicare government assistance with the aid of a social worker.
And yet it is commonly held that a people is more apt to wreak its insolence upon good men when it is prosperous, being then lifted up by grandeur and power; but the reverse is often the case. For calamities make men's dispositions bitter, irritable, and prone to wrath, so that no one can say anything to please or soften them, but they are annoyed by every speech or word that has vigour. He who censures them for their transgressions is thought to abuse them for their misfortunes, and he who is outspoken with them, to despise them. 2 And just as honey irritates wounded and ulcerated parts of the body,a so often words of truth and soberness sting and exasperate those who are in an evil plight, unless uttered with kindness and complaisance; and therefore, doubtless, the poet calls that which is pleasant "menoeikes," on the ground that it yields to that part of the soul which experiences pleasure, and does not fight with it or resist it.1 3 An eye which is inflamed dwells most gratefully on colours which are dark and lustreless, but shuns those which are radiant and bright; and so a city that has fallen on unfavourable fortunes is made by its weakness too sensitive and delicate to endure frank speaking, and that at a time when it needs it most of all, since the situation allows no chance of retrieving the mistakes that have been made. Therefore the conduct of affairs in such a city is altogether dangerous; for p149 she brings to ruin with herself the man who speaks but to win her favour, and she brings to ruin before herself the man who will not court her favour.
@Dave_Goldsmith@Urban_Hermit@glennsills@cynblogger@Nazani@stevebenen If ever it happens at one of his rallies, when the crowd sits in stony-faced silence, or better yet, starts booing, Trump will be on a jet to the Kremlin, or shoot himself in a bunker by the next morning.
@Dave_Goldsmith@andytiedye@Urban_Hermit@glennsills@cynblogger@Nazani@stevebenen Deplorables believe the louder they cheer, the harder they clap, the greater the chance of drowning out that still, small voice in their empty hearts, which whispers 'Trump is a fucking moron, everyone knows it, even you know it, and you've sold your soul to an evil lying clown, who doesn't care about you .. and the only thing keeping you from renouncing the orange bastard, and redeeming yourself, is your stubborn pride, which will burn with you in the lake of fire'.
@Urban_Hermit@Dave_Goldsmith@andytiedye@glennsills@cynblogger@Nazani@stevebenen They say Trump's campaign is falling off a cliff, he seems angry, and rattled, we are a couple of months away from the election (and it's aftermath), which is sure to be fascinating, and the question which needles my mind more and more is 'what does the final act of this orange tragicomedy look like?' Are we going to see Trump blowing his brains out in a bunker, like his hero, and spiritual soul-brother, Hitler?
If Trump is illegally installed as a tyrant, don't despair, you have strikes, marches, non-compliance, protests, boycotts, and shouting "FUCK NO!" very loudly, until the shit is fixed.
The world could plunge into chaos under Kamala, but it's better in that case to have a leader who can enact solutions, rather than a useless turd, who only adds to the pain, and misery, like Trump.
