Actually this made me remember the Mayday and Love Parade festivals.
Some people here might be inclined to hate on this sort of shit, but if you think going to some trance festival, getting high and having enormous amounts of 100% heterosexual sex is horrifying, I'm not voting for your party.
Back me up!

The State Department is basically in revolt that Joe is sucking cut Joo cocka instead of cut Ayerab cocka
This would be a great opportunity to purge several hundred retards from Foggy Bottom but Joe is too much in a fog himself to even notice

The left promoted this culture of "brown people good, white people bad". They made their bed. Now they gotta lay in it.

Even the Babylon Bee has given up on Ron, they fired pro-Trump people and a lot of Ron's early campaign were from the bee. It's not too far fetched to believe that Ron's twitter announcement with Elon was in some part because of Elon liking the Bee.
edit: just so people know, i get they are satire but early on they never dared to mock Ron. This has been a recent trend. The Fact he is a token line in the article shows how much Ron has fallen.
edit2:
He was fired for calling Christina Pushaw a bad word. She is best known for being a woman who went to Ukraine to act like a whore. Usually Ukrainians come over here to act like whores.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A corrody (/ˈkɒrədi/[1]) was a lifetime allowance of food and clothing, and often shelter and care, granted by an abbey, monastery, or other religious house. While rarely granted in the modern era, corrodies were common in the Middle Ages. They were routinely awarded to the servants and household staff of royalty, and as a form of charity for the aged, sick, feeble or those in poverty,[2] but could also be purchased with donations of money or land. The corrody is one of the earliest forms of insurance, as it provided security in sustenance and lodging in a time when social welfare was scarce.
Academic estimates of the annual value of the food allowance (alone), are around £3 per year. This assumes a daily allowance of one loaf of bread and a gallon of ale, but excludes the cost of accommodation and living expenses. When multiplied by the life expectancy of the era (bearing in mind that corrodies would be granted to the old and infirm) it can be assumed that a lifelong corrody for an average person would cost approximately £100.
The prices paid for corrodies varied. In the 15th century a John Underwood of Deeping Lincolnshire, paid £100 for a corrody to the abbot and convent of Peterborough Abbey. This guaranteed him "eight monks' loaves and eight gallons of the better beer" twice a week. He also received either a furred robe or one without fur when the abbot gave livery, and a cloth robe for his wife. At midsummer the abbot also sent him "two stone of cheese, two dozen Paris candles, allowances of oatmeal and salt, and four loads of 'ballowood', i.e. logs."[3] 1n 1432 the abbot of Humberston Abbey in Lincolnshire sold a corrody for ten marks (one mark was worth 160 pence (13 shillings and 4 pence), 2/3 of a pound sterling). This investment was worth 40 shillings a year, which would have used up the ten marks in around three years: but the arrangement had already stood for eight years by 1440, hardly an economical result for the abbey.[3] The abbot of Humberston Abbey had also sold corrodies for 100 marks worth 10 marks a year; one for 10 marks worth a little over 33 shillings a year; and another sold for 20 marks but worth 4 marks (around 53 shillings) a year.[2] By the fifteenth century these corrupt or debased forms of corrody were less likely to be an asset to the monasteries and more of a liability.
The archbishops of Canterbury are recorded as granting only a few charitable corrodies, no more than thirty during the century between 1313 and 1414.[4] The large majority provided only daily food, drink, clothing and a room. For example, archbishop Simon Islip awarded only twelve between 1350 and 1365. The grant was either in money, often between 10 and 12 pence (one shilling) a week, Many beneficiaries of the archbishops' charity lodged at the Hospital of SS Peter and Paul (the Newark Hospital) in Maidstone, or the hospital of St. John the Baptist in Northgate, Canterbury.[4]

There was no guarantee at all that you would get a corrody just because you were born. I was autistic enough to start finding research into corrodies to see what kind of records exist. What I'm finding is corrodies cost something like $50K-$60K in today's money, payable in a lump sum, and institutions were selling maybe 1-2 per year. I come across figures like "such and so abbey sold 13 corrodies between 1473 and 1485," that sort of thing. Charitable corrodies were much rarer (as noted in the Wikipedia article, thirty granted in an entire century by Canterbury).
So, no, your average person didn't get a 20-year free vacation guaranteed by the state in the Middle Ages.

I'd just like to point to the chyron there.
Apparently niggers in african mud huts are now able to target and shoot down aircraft barely the size of a man that cruise so high they can't be seen by the naked eye.
I knew our forces were suffering a "dreadnought effect" with the proliferation of consumer drone tech, but this is even worse than I expected.

Nobody really thinks about identity politics when they're filling up with six dollar gas and carrying a hundred dollars worth of groceries in three bags.
Plus George Floyd OD'ing on Trump's watch was the best thing that ever happened to BLM. The money's dried up and they need another dead negro to drive donations.
Sports fans may love their teams. But when their teams can't win, they tend to want to see the coaches and GMs fired.
Lindsey Graham sees the writing on the wall and he's desperate to convince the voters he's one of the good ones. If he cant pull that off, he can kiss his dirty money goodbye.
