Wonder how trump feels getting laughed at? Ran one of the local yokels off our community discussion

group.

He posted some BS about “illegals” were eating cats/dogs. Said he didn’t care what ABC said, he knew it. When, I asked him for a citation, he said it was all over the news. I responded that it should be easy to provide one link, then. Within 30 minutes, he deleted his posts.

I live in a rube red area. People are usually OK as long as one can keep politics out of it. But I run into some cool Dems too. We like rebutting the white wing BS.

We've known this deficit was coming for over 15 years. Yet, nothing has been done. The Cap might be increased a

bit, but there is no chance of removing the whole cap because it would be a 12.4 percentage point increase in taxes (6.2% from employee and 6.2% from employer = 12.4%).

We can't even get a small increase in taxes now, and if we did it's already spoken for in terms of education, healthcare, childcare, jobs, infra structure, deficit/debt reduction, and much more.

Obama tried to do something, but he was crucified for it even though the plan would have increased payments those on the low end of the SS benefits scale. Since then, not much has happened.

We better hope Democrats are in office when somebody finally decides it's time to act.

This is how Bushmaster advertised their rifles to ammosexuals. Any wonder incels, gun lovers, etc., are attracted to

these useless weapons?

Just hope we protect those here who are contributing to society, and the vast majority are.

I get all kinds of backlash and removals for posting things like this on local discussion boards: “The people I know who came here for a better life, are far better neighbors than the rubes bashing them and calling for mass deportations.”

I’m in a rube red area, with a lot of good people who probably misplaced some of their documentation. But, they are good people.

Dahlonega is a town in Georgia not far from Winder. Unbelievably, the county Sheriff is putting on a Gun Show in October.

I'm hoping he'll get reamed, but I suspect the attendees will increase this year. It's that rube red.

I've been reading responses from a Georgia thread on Reddit. Some of the posters were parents with

kids at that school. A couple posts said the 14 year-old is a quiet kid who was often bullied. Can’t confirm, but it sure fits profile and is just sad all around.

That area went 71% for trump in 2020. So, I bet gun stores are doing a brisk business today with ammosexuals adding a few more weapons to their collection.

We must be on different wave links. Do you have a better suggestion for getting the message out.

I bet tonight was worth a $100 Million in advertising.

Just saw first CNN clip from today's interview. VP Harris, Walz, and Bash are sitting at a small square table. Think

that works well, rather than sitting in chairs. The optics were good.

Harris answers Bash's question and does well. That particular question went well, athough it is a very short clip. It wasn't a gotcha question.

Here's link to CNN article. Unfortunately there isn't a video, but it does offer a few comments she makes.

Edited to add link.
