So, he went there

https://x.com/highbrow_nobrow/status/1775562293243183121?s=46&t=TEkGdOYblbsNDtM5BiaFTQ

‘Trump: Would you rather have the Black president or the white president? I think they want the white guy.’

Just wow. And this is supposed to be uniting and inclusive? They accuse us of dividing?

Huh. You learn something new every day.

‘“I went to get birth control…The price was very, very high... And I said, 'It’s cheaper to have a kid.' I left it there, and now I have my third son.” @CalltoActivism

- Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO)’

Huh. Who knew that something that costs money at a drug store was more than something that takes tens and hundreds of thousands dollars to do and to support that child.

I never knew that. Thanks, Bimbo. I mean, Bobo.

Dark Brandon does it again

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1770821615321829393?s=46&t=TEkGdOYblbsNDtM5BiaFTQ

From Kyle Griffin:

‘President Biden, speaking at a Texas fundraiser: "Just the other day, this defeated looking man came up to me and said: 'Mr. President I need your help. I'm in crushing debt. I'm completely wiped out.' I had to say, 'Donald, I can't help you'."’

Once Dark Brandon is activated, it’s all over.

'Honorary' KKK member could be Gov. nominee

https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/missouri-gop-candidate-for-governor-is-only-honorary-kkk-member-42007057

———Snip

‘ A man with a history of "honorary" membership in the Klu Klux Klan not only managed to make it on the unofficial ballot to be the Republican nominee for Missouri governor, but may even appear atop the official ballot when GOP voters vote in the primary this August.

Those revelations came to light last night when former Missouri Representative Shamed Dogan (R-Ballwin) tweeted out a screenshot showing the unofficial candidate filing list for governor posted to the Secretary of State's website. On it, Darrell Leon McClanahan III's name sits atop more well-known GOP contenders like Mike Kehoe and Jay Ashcroft.’

———Snip

But that’s not all.

———Snip

‘ A 2022 article on the Anti-Defamation League's website shows McClanahan next to a man in white robes as both men give what appear to be Nazi salutes in front of a burning cross some time around 2019.

The ADL article claims that the organization's Center on Extremism has been tracking McClanahan for years, as he has affiliated with various white supremacist and Christian identity groups.’

———Snip

What. Is. Going. On. In. This. Country.

Who remembers when something like this would be a non-starter? That nobody like this would be a serious candidate for dog catcher, let alone something like governor?

And people say the Democratic Party is the party of the KKK? The Democratic Party of the 19th Century isn’t the party of today, and it’s Republicans doing stuff like this.

I thought Republicans went bonkers during President Obama’s first term. Those people seem saner in hindsight now.

I found the next ad for Democrats

https://x.com/accountablegop/status/1760761957437599856?s=46&t=TEkGdOYblbsNDtM5BiaFTQ

‘Jack Posobiec at CPAC: “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.”’

Keep them coming, you traitors. Good, decent, true Americans will vote to stop you.

How is this also not the planning of another insurrection and betraying the Constitution?

Booed at Sneaker Con

I love it. They booed him off the stage in Philly. They want no part of that criminal con artist.

This isn’t one of your rallies, doofus. I really hope that ate you up.

Meanwhile, I’ll be going to Indy tomorrow to enjoy NBA Crossover as part of All Star Weekend. I’m sure I’ll have a better time, and nothing I could say or do could get me booed like that.

You got to love a splash of cold water in the face, what real Americans actually think of him.

I don't want to hear it

I don’t want to hear the talking points from the gun lovers.

I don’t want to hear about the Second Amendment and the Constitution - not if one amendment is so sacred to you, but the others are not.

I don’t want hear about you needing guns to combat a tyrannical government - not if you’ll vote for someone who says they’d be a dictator and if you say on camera that American needs one.

I don’t want to hear about freedom - not if you’re for making it harder to vote, not if you want to tell two consenting adults what they can and can’t do or who they can and can’t marry, not if you’re interested in forcing your religion on everybody else.

I don’t want to hear about other things used as weapons - considering almost anything can be one, but many things used as weapons weren’t designed to be weapons. Furthermore, if other things can be used as weapons, other things can be used as self defense.

I don’t want to hear about guns being purchased illegally - since guns purchased legally can and are used like this.

I don’t want to hear about criminals not following laws and law-abiding citizens - then what’s the point of laws, by your logic? Everybody is a law-abiding citizen until they’re not.

I don’t want to hear about how guns don’t kill people - if they save lives, they also kill. And people will, with guns, and you can kill more people and do so faster with firearms.

I don’t want to hear about how more guns are the answer - because if they are, why does this happen in this country, no matter what state and what state’s gun laws? Why do other countries issue travel advisories to their citizens about them coming here because of our gun laws?

I don’t want to hear about mental health - not if you refuse funding for it.

It’s good to know I could be a victim of gun violence and countless people will act like my life and this would-be tragedy doesn’t matter.

If I had the power to unilaterally repeal the Second Amendment, I’d have done so years ago and banish all guns from existence.

Sorry, I’m not sorry.

They just keep losing left and right

This was supposed to be a one point race, ended up being 10 in a big blue flip on the same night they impeached a cabinet member over policy and not a high crime or misdemeanor.

They don’t have the votes to convict, and I anticipate this could even be a bipartisan acquittal, wasting money over a political theater stunt and refusing to do anything about the border so their messiah can campaign on it.

Every sane person in the country is fed up with their nonsense.

Doofus admits it was an insurrection

https://x.com/acyn/status/1755647384128790591?s=46&t=TEkGdOYblbsNDtM5BiaFTQ

‘Trump: I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.’

Alright, that’s a wrap. He said it was an insurrection, kick him off the ballot.

You know, I love dumb criminal stories. I just don’t think dumb criminals should hold political office or have a cult following.
