"I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them, and they think it's Hell."

Harry S. would be proud of President Biden tonight. Bravo Mr. President.

"The world is laughing at us"

"Our county is known as a joke" "The country is dying" "The American dream is dead" [and only I can fix it?]

I can't see how making people feel really bad about America is a winning strategy, but what would I know? I've been wrong too many times.

Trump's 3rd Term: 2028 - 2032

Suppose that if Trump gets back into power, he is not going to give it up. (Yeah I know, ridiculous right?) How could he do that?

My question - is there anything that could prevent him from running as VP in 2028, and having a poodle at the top of the ticket. How could that work, if at all?

2024 Big Lie: 70% of Americans don't want a Biden v Trump rematch.

The Breakdown: 70% (38% Dems, + 32% GOP) don't want a rematch in 2024.

The lie - it's fucking obvious. A Hallelujah of Dems don't want Trump in the race. Under any circumstances. Fuck an election with Trump on the ballot. Don't want.

How to win 2024 (Wolf of Wall Street)

You’ll be ferocious! You’ll be relentless! You’ll be telephone fucking terrorists! Now, let’s knock these Motherfucker Republicans out of the park!

The Money Heart of Darkness (Wolf of Wall Street Movie)

See those little black boxes? They are called telephones. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret about these telephones. They’re not gonna dial themselves! Okay? Without you, they’re just worthless hunk of plastic. Like a loaded M16 without a trained Marine to pull the trigger. And in the case of the telephone, it’s up to each and every one of you, my highly trained Strattonites, my killers. My killers who will not take no for an answer! My fucking warriors who’ll not hang up the phone, until their client either buys or fucking dies!

Let me tell you something. There is no nobility in poverty. I’ve been a rich man, and I’ve been poor man. And I choose rich every fucking time. Cause, At least as a rich man, when I have to face my problems, I show up in the back of a limo wearing a $2000 suit …and $40,000 gold fuckin’ watch!

Now, if anyone here thinks I’m superficial or materialistic. Go get a job at fucking McDonald’s, because that’s where you fucking belong!

But, before you depart this room full of winners, I want you to take a good look at the person next to you, go on. Because sometime in the not-so-distant future, you’re pullin’ up to a red light in your beat-up old fucking Pinto, and that person’s gonna pull up right alongside you in a brand new Porsche, with their beautiful wife by his side, whose got big voluptuous tits. And who will you be next to? Some disgusting wilder beast with three days of razor-stubble in a sleeveless moo-moo, crammed in next to you with a carload full of groceries from the fucking Price Club! That’s who you’re gonna be sitting next to.

So, you listen to me and you listen well. Are you behind, on your credit card bills? Good. Pick up the phone and start dialing. Is your landlord ready to evict you? Good. Pick up the phone and start dialing. Does your girlfriend think you’re a fucking loser? Good. Pick up the phone and start dialing! I want you to deal with your problems, by becoming rich!

All you have to do today … is pick up that phone, and speak the words that I have taught you. And I’ll make you richer than the most powerful CEO of the United States of fucking America. I want you to go out there, and I want you to RAM Steve Madden stock down your clients’ throats. Till they fucking choke on it till they choke on it and buy 100,000 shares! That’s what I want you to do.

You’ll be ferocious! You’ll be relentless! You’ll be telephone fucking terrorists! Now, let’s knock this Motherfucker out of the park!

I want you to deal with your problems by winning the White House!

Nate Cohn writes NYT hit piece.

Voters know these candidates very well. Mr. Biden is the president, Mr. Trump is a former president, and both candidates have been in public life for decades. And based on all that voters have seen, they are saying they do not like Mr. Biden and don’t think he’s a very effective president. This is not a small matter.

"I congratulate him and wish him well" - Haley on Trump.

“The time has now come to suspend my campaign," Haley said in a Charleston, S.C., speech. “I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that. I have no regrets.

Nikki Haley conceded that “in all likelihood, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee when our party convention meets in July.” She, however, did not endorse him.

“I congratulate him and wish him well,” she said during remarks in Charleston, S.C.. “I wish anyone well who would be America’s president.”

Abortion is 'crime against the body and against the state.'



As well as promoting motherhood, the Nazis also restricted abortion and contraception. During the 1920s Germany led the world in the development of contraceptive devices, including condoms, diaphragms and intra-uterine devices (IUDs). But the Nazis outlawed contraception – not only to increase the birthrate but also because many pioneers of contraceptive medicine were Jewish. Even publicising or discussing birth control was eventually banned in Nazi Germany. The regime also cracked down on abortion, imposing tough requirements for pregnancy terminations on medical grounds and harsh penalties for illegal abortions. Propaganda described abortion as a “crime against the body and against the state”.

Conversely, doctors would approve abortions – and indeed, even encourage them – if the patient happened to be non-Aryan. In November 1938 a Nazi-run state court ruled that abortion should be legal and freely available for all Jewish women.

'A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin'

'A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin' cannot be repeated enough. The GOP understands repetition. After saying this endless times, when you are sick to death of repeating yourself, some voters are just beginning to get the message.
