The whole idea that all these blue collar people think Trump and his friends have their best interests at heart has gotta be one of the craziest ideological mind fucks in human history.

The amount of pro Trump bumper stickers I see to, and from, the way to work is staggering. People love the guy for some baffling reason. Biden is discussed in hushes and whispers in the county I work in.

I work in a heavily Republican district. How heavily, you ask? Well, the scramble during election season isn't Republican vs Democrat, its Republican vs Republican during the candidate primary because no Democrat runs for many of the available positions here.

A lot of the campaign signs say "CONSERVATIVE Republican" or "PROVEN Conservative" or something like that. Its a race to the right.
*Edit: I forgot to mention... one of the signs is written in Comic Sans

One of the candidates running in the Republican primary for one of the positions here ran on the platform that he would eliminate his own position to "Save the taxpayers money" by reducing government waste. He promised he was gonna put himself out of a job. And guess what? He fucking WON. Because there doesn't seem to be any registered OPPOSITION to this guy, hes gonna win by default and then will have to either 1) prove himself to be a liar by NOT eliminating the position or 2) do the insane thing and eliminate the position.


This county made the news a few months ago when they passed a redistricting action to cleave the only Democrat-leaning district in half and dilute the blue-leaning voting population from a single district to two, where their votes are worth less. Folks are voting against their own interests because weak people follow what they believe to be strong leaders. Trump is just that kind of weak leader.

Well that's the irony with these "libertarian" minded "conservatives".

They rally about government bloat, and how any iteration of government is an affront to the free market and human sovereignty. Meanwhile once they get voted in, they're more than happy to become career senators or house members, just like Rand Paul, Mitch, Cruz, etc.

So government is bad for me, and yet it is totally fine for you to aspire working within, perpetuate, and collect a cheque?

Fascinating.

So an elderly lady travels to Taiwan for a visit, and China goes furious LOL~

It'll be interesting to see how this one unfolds. I expect the elderly lady to call China's bluff, and the old men in China will throw yet another temper tantrum LOL~

China being typical China and trying to flex, when push comes to shove they won't do anything. Just their typical threats they always make.

China move army in. and flexes military strength around Taiwan.

Nancy Peloski finishes her visit and leaves according to schedule.

China declare they won the battle and remove its military presence.

The only thing China is shooting down is their own A Share

Hahahaha where do they did these people?!?!?! How did they get to this point in their life / age with this kind of critical thinking? Safety labels really are thwarting Darwin.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's husband is filing for divorce. What's up with all these pro traditional marriage Christian conservatives getting divorced? Obama and Biden who are the devil are still married for some reason.

It might be the best thing to happen to Florida too if they get kicked out

The only country that's ever been forcibly ejected from another country is Singapore. And they're basically a utopia (with caning and hanging) right now.

Cutting off Florida from the dregs of America could work in it's favour in 50 years or so once the current crop of deplorables die out.

Sink or Swim baby. Sink or Swim.

Holy shit!

Marijuana being removed as a scheduled drug, and federal possession charges will all be dropped. They're going to try to get the states to do the same thing.

^I'm starting to really like this old man.

He's just moving ahead on items we've always wanted to see get done. Seeing that he's at the climax of his career, not worrying about future elections and finally enacting these initiatives that both sides have avoided like toxic waste.

Much to a Canadian's dismay, the USD is surging right now, this man has been quite the effective president policy-wise and has pushed his agenda forward efficiently.

Those Sleepy Joe comments are looking pretty stupid now -- he's easily been a far more effective president than Trump could've ever dream to been.
