quickymart: So much for Truth Social being a bastion of "free speech":

 

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/technology/2022/06/donald-trump-s-truth-social-appears-to-ban-users-delete-posts-it-doesn-t-like.html

 

Yes, all about free speech. Just so long as it's free speech...that Trump likes 🙄

 

Trump was referring to his own speech.

kingdragonfly: Representative Scott Perry obviously never heard of the Streisand effect.

 

This is the same guy who made these comments to a committee "For many Americans, what seems to be happening, or what they believe right now is happening is — what appears to them is — we’re replacing national-born Americans, native-born Americans, to permanently transform the landscape of this very nation"

 

This is the Great Replacement, a far-right racist idea that white people are being displaced by elites to put some minority in power - sometimes black people, sometimes Jews, sometimes Muslim, depending on the target of the racist du jour.

 

The PURE hypocrisy of, some, white Americans is mind boggling. A nation with ONLY a 402 years (approx 20 generations) of WHITE man history and they are now postulating this racist idea that they, themselves, are now being replaced by  another ethnicity, when they themselves replaced and displaced their own continents Natives, The Indians. Don't be surprised if you hear these same American racists still using the now disproved racist term Caucasian.

 

Did not the British commit; genocide, massacres and forced-march relocations of First Nation Natives, The Indians'. Did they not introduce Diseases that wiped out whole tribes, starting from the first ship, The Mayflower. Was it not they, white man, who brought in the African Negro's to work the stolen lands, as slaves and the Asians, for below liveable wages, to build the railways.

 

Migration and immigration make the sentient beings of this planet strong by diversifying the gene pool. The upper aristocracy of any wealthy nation has proven time and again that breeding on the basis of superiority only weakens the gene pool and makes you idiots.

 

aka D. J. Trump.




Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Here's an ugly story, unexpectedly misogynist. Likely to be untrue, giving Qanon "a taste of their own medicine".

Granted she's hard to give sympathy when she said this at a recent Christian retreat:

“On Twitter, a lot of the little Twitter trolls, they like to say, ‘Oh, Jesus didn’t need an AR-15, how many AR-15s do you think Jesus would have had?’ Well, he didn’t have enough to keep his government from killing him.”

The Daily Beast: Liberals rush to spread bogus Lauren Boebert escort and abortion rumors

Democrats have seized on a political action committee’s allegations that Representative Lauren Boebert (Republican-Colorado) worked as a prostitute and had multiple abortions—claims that rest on zero actual evidence.

On Tuesday, American Muckrakers PAC, co-founded by Democrat and former North Carolina state Senate candidate David Wheeler, published allegations claiming that Boebert had previously worked as an escort on a sugar-daddy website and underwent at least two abortions, one of which was related to her supposed sugar-baby work.

For Boebert’s critics, the idea that the anti-abortion rights conservative had in fact had multiple abortions herself offered irresistible proof of Boebert’s hypocrisy. The allegations quickly circulated in anti-Trump “Resistance” communities online. Occupy Democrats, a popular liberal Twitter account, conceded that it wasn’t clear whether the allegations were accurate.

The NY Times - Opinion - Hence, Mike Pence

 

18 June 2022  (intro)

 


WASHINGTON - The fate of a sycophant is never a happy one.

 

At first, you think that fawning over the boss is a good way to move forward. 

 

But when you are dealing with a narcissist - and narcissists are the ones who like to be surrounded by sycophants - you can never be unctuous enough.

 

Narcissists are Grand Canyons of need. The more they are flattered, the more their appetite for flattery grows.

 

That is the hard, almost fatal, lesson Pence learned on Jan. 6, when he finally stood up to Donald Trump after Trump asked for one teensy favor: Help destroy American democracy and all we stand for. ...

I wonder if "Black Lives Matter" built a gallows during a "I can't breathe" protest, what would the reaction be from Fox news?

New York Times: ‘So the Traitors Know the Stakes’: The Meaning of the Jan. 6 Gallows

Little is known about how a gallows came to be built near the Capitol, but the motif has become a favorite among right-wing extremists and white supremacists.

...A striking array of far-right iconography littered the Capitol during the riot by Mr. Trump’s supporters, such as a Confederate flag, Crusader crosses, an Auschwitz-themed hoodie and “white power” hand gestures. But the gallows erected in front of the Capitol, where rioters chanted “Hang Mike Pence” as they stormed the building looking for the vice president, is one of the most chilling images to emerge from a day of violence and extremism.

It is also one of the bigger unsolved mysteries in the investigation into what happened that day. Seventeen months after the riot, little is known about it. No one has publicly claimed responsibility for erecting the gallows or been charged with setting it up. It appeared to be too small to be used, though its presence — along with the orange noose that hung from it against the backdrop of the Capitol dome — clearly conveyed a threat of physical violence.

An AI image generation of Donald Trump as the baby from the Nevermind album cover. 

 

The Guardian - From Trump Nevermind babies to deep fakes: DALL-E and the ethics of Artificial Intelligence art

A neural network that can transform a text phrase into an artwork is transforming our understanding of creative thinking ...

 

DALL-E (and DALL-E mini), the creator of these artworks, is a neural network that can take a text phrase and transform it [into] an image. 

 

It was trained by looking at millions of images on the internet along with accompanying text and it learned to create pictures of things you’d never expect to be combined ...

JOHN EASTMAN CONSIDERING LAW SCHOOL

 

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—John Eastman has announced that he is “seriously considering” going to law school, in what he described as the pursuit of a lifelong dream.

 

The embattled Eastman said that the idea of applying to law school first occurred to him while being deposed by the January 6th committee.

 

“As I was taking the Fifth Amendment for the hundredth time, I suddenly realized there must be at least four other amendments, maybe even more.” he said. “That got me wondering what those amendments were.”

 

Eastman said that attending law school would “be a ton of work” but would probably make him a better lawyer. “Everything I know about law I learned at Trump University, but I, never did finish the course.” he revealed. “Luckily, Donny was there to help me out with an honorary degree."

A human would have made sure to include the dollar note from the original.

Specifically, in Europe it's either Africans or Muslims, in the US it's blacks and hispanics. Jews aren't doing the replacing, they're the ones planning it all.

 

 

It's so nonsensical that even the Nazis were reluctant to use it much. The US far right OTOH has embraced it wholeheartedly.

Republicans could have the upper hand in the midterm elections, although I think gaining 70 seats is a bit of a stretch.

A lot of people in this story have given to Ron, but not to Trump, or donated to the latter but won't be doing so again. Yes, 2024 is still a way away, but could this be a sign of winds of change?

 

Also, how well would Ron do up against Joe in a general election anyway? I think Republicans are probably leading at the moment, mostly due to inflation woes (which aren't 100% Joe's doing).
