It's a simple concept, and it is why the evangelical christians, the last people in the world you would expect to embrace the naked corruption and evil of Trump, are also on board. It's called Dominion. God is in charge, America is his country, and straight white men are in charge of it. They are not that different than 1930's Germans in their embrace of Nationalism, fear and loathing of the outside other, and willingness to let all manner of unspeakable evil happen as long as they are getting theirs.


Well, there's also the factor that many of them are single-issue voters -- anyone who they think will help get Roe v. Wade overturned is their candidate, and nothing else matters. (Well, it matters, but in this case, it can be overlooked.)


I'm sure you would agree that it's not really a single issue. It's part of a worldview in which women are inferior to men and shouldn't be able to control their bodies, which also extends to other issues that they also care about.

Historically, race and gender are intertwined. For instance, black men were seen as savages and white women as pure and powerless and always in danger of being sexually assaulted by black men and hence white men had to protect them, both here in the United States and under colonialism in Africa.

Considering Fox News and Republicans could've got alot of mileage from tying Bill Clinton to Epstein. And Epstein was still killed. Really makes me believe the lawsuit that implicated Trump and Epstein https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Johnson_TrumpEpstein_Lawsuit.pdf .

Ghislaine Maxwell forced to don paper attire at NY prison amid suicide concerns: report


LINK

Quote:
Federal officials took Maxwell's clothes and bedsheets and replaced them with paper attire as a precautionary measure, in hopes of avoiding a repeat bungle by Manhattan jail authorities that culminated in Epstein's suicide in August.

Maxwell also has a roommate in her cell and is being closely monitored, ensuring that someone is with her at all times while she is behind bars, the official added.

There is a powerful and disturbing scene in “Boardwalk Empire” that touched upon this and how it bizarrely manifests itself in some white couples “extracurricular” behavior.

ICE Offering 'Citizens Academy' Course with Training on Arresting Immigrants

ICE introduced a six-week course for private citizens, starting September 15
Participants will received 'scenario-based training' and learn about 'defensive tactics, firearms familiarization, and targeted arrests'
The St. Louis Inter-Faith Committee for Latin America told DailyMail.com that the program will drive white citizens to incite violence against immigrants
Chicago Congressman Jesús 'Chuy' García wonders if the course is part of ICE's plan to have neighbors spy on neighbors to see if they're undocumented

Cohen Sent Back to Prison After Resisting Media & Book Gag

LINK

Quote:
“As a federal inmate, Mr. Cohen remains subject to compliance with BOP policy, which includes being subject to electric monitoring and obtaining pre-approval for media interviews. As a result of his refusal to consent to the terms of the program, he was returned to a BOP facility for service of his sentence,” a BOP spokesperson in an email said Thursday.

Cohen’s confidant and former counsel Lanny Davis told reporters Thursday afternoon in a conference call that, as part of the transition from medical furlough to home confinement, Cohen had reported to the probation office today when he was remanded to prison without warning.

I post a remembrance. Remember George Corley Wallace Jr. He ran on a racist platform for president and lost. He not only lost his election bid he almost lost his life.

I have faith in Americans. I own my belief Americans as a whole are not racist they are tribal and hold with certain standards.

@existentialfish
Trump tells Hannity that he "very recently" "aced" a cognitive test: "I took it at Walter Reed, a medical center, in front of doctors, and they were very surprised"


Whoa, that is interesting. Think this is from when he made that mystery trip to Walter Reed? Stroke??

And I don't know but saying doctors were very surprised you aced a cognitive test doesn't seem all that great of an endorsement of your competence to be POTUS.

I heard he scored better on that test than anyone ever has. Higher than anyone! It was a beautiful test. All the doctors said how beautiful it was. They said, “this test is so beautiful we’re going to use it as training for other doctors.”

Sir, they said, sir this is the best result ever, with tears in their eyes they said that. Many Drs said it.

His fascination with people of authority (especially people a boy would think were people of authority) giving him superior status via the Sir thing is one of his most basic tells about his motivations.

Everything about him is the endless need for adulation and achievement without any accomplishment. I used to joke that they should have set up a Truman Show version of the White House for him and he would have been happy as a clam as “President for Life”, doing rallies, issuing orders, and being feted by dignitaries. Sadly, it’s actually true.

There are some great, insightful quotes that I've read from Mary Trump's book.

But if there's one sentence that describes him, she writes: He knows he has never been loved.

And they all said, please sir, sleep with our daughters and impregnate them. So your genes can pass this superhuman cognitive ability to our families' future generations.

Hypothesis: "They're just going to call Biden a socialist anyway."

Results: True, but the majority of Americans do not associate Biden with socialism anyway.
