Canada had a Rhino party, their logo looked damn near exactly like that, and iirc they came in 2nd or 3rd in big election a couple decades ago.. 90s or maybe 80s.
The Rhino party were awesome. A joke party with outrageous campaign promises.

From the wikipedia page:

1979 campaign​

  • Government:
  • Energy:
    • Building one nuclear power plant per household, including monthly distributions of lead underwear to Canadians. Indoor lighting would then be provided by radioactive citizens.[22]
    • Burning all the standing barns in Canada to provide energy, under the slogan Burn a barn for Britain.[22]
  • Gender issues:
    • Alimony payments would go directly to the federal government, and responsibility for withholding those payments would fall upon the federal government.[22]
    • Men would be allowed to work as prostitutes, wet nurses, secretaries and receptionists.[22]

1984 campaign​

  • Economy
    • The Rhinoceros Party pledged to eliminate small businesses, and replace them with very small businesses, having less than one employee.[23]
    • Candidate Graham Ashley, standing in Ottawa-Vanier, pledged to take Canada off the Gold Standard, and implement a Snow Standard, which would improve the economy until the summer.[24]
  • Public works
    • Candidate Stardust the Magician promised to put a roof on the Olympic Stadium, using only a $25-million handkerchief.[25]

Other campaigns​

Other platform promises of the Rhinoceros Party included:

  • Repealing the law of gravity[26][27]
  • Providing higher education by building taller schools[18][28]
  • Instituting English, French and illiteracy as Canada's three official languages[18]
  • Tearing down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans could see the Pacific sunset[27]
  • Eliminating unemployment by abolishing Statistics Canada, thereby eliminating the bureaucrats that measure unemployment.[29]
  • Making Montreal the Venice of North America by damming the St. Lawrence River[30]
  • Abolishing the environment because it's too hard to keep clean and it takes up so much space[18]
  • Annexing the United States, which would take its place as the third territory in Canada's backyard (after the Yukon and the Northwest Territories—Nunavut did not yet exist), in order to eliminate foreign control of Canada's natural resources[31]
  • Ending crime by abolishing all laws[32]
  • To provide more parking in the Maritimes by paving the Bay of Fundy, and to create the world's largest parking by paving the province of Manitoba[18][27]
  • Turning Montreal's Saint Catherine Street into the world's longest bowling alley[18]
  • Amending Canada's Freedom of Information Act: "Nothing is free anymore; Canadians should have to pay for their information".[33]
  • Making the Canadian climate more temperate by tapping into the natural resource of hot air in Ottawa.[33]
  • Storing nuclear waste in the Senate: "After all, we've been storing political waste there for years".[33]
  • Adopting the British system of driving on the left; this was to be gradually phased in over five years with large trucks and tractors first, then buses, eventually including small cars, and bicycles and wheelchairs last.[20]
  • Selling the Senate of Canada at an antique auction in California[27][31]
  • Putting the national debt on Visa[34]
  • Declaring war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the cartoons[28][35]
  • Offering to call off the proposed Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montreal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa did, in fact, do this)[28][35]
  • Painting Canada's coastal sea limits in watercolour so that Canadian fish would know where they were at all times[30]
  • Banning guns and butter, since both kill[30]
  • Banning lousy Canadian winters[18]
  • Building a bridge spanning the country, from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland.[36]
  • Making the Trans-Canada Highway one way only.[36]
  • Changing Canada's currency to bubble gum, so it could be inflated or deflated at will.[37]
  • Donating a free rhinoceros to every aspiring artist in Canada[31]
  • Counting the Thousand Islands to see if the Americans have stolen any[16]
  • Knocking down the Rocky Mountains and building giant bicycle paths sloping downhill in both directions, so Canadians could coast from coast to coast.[38]
The Rhino Party also declared that, should they somehow actually win an election, they would immediately dissolve and force a second election: "We Rhinos think that elections are so much fun, we want to hold them all the time".[39] They also declared victory after one election, claiming all candidates were Rhinoceroses, whether they knew or acknowledged it: thick-skinned, short-sighted, mean-tempered, etc.
After watching the whole scene hit retirement age I am convinced the only good, morally consistent punks were the contrarians with obvious oppositional defiance disorder.
Agreed. Thinking about Canadian punk, Joey Shithead still skirts it a bit, but he's largely in the cult now. The Forgotten Rebels are now pariahs in the punk scene, but I don't think they give a fuck, other than having no audiences since punk has become a slavishly conformist monoculture.
God-damn. I loathe these people.
In Jello's defense, he's only doing this because the alternative is him being straight up MURDERED. Fucker has been living under a Salmin Rushdie type fatwa calling for him to be outright MURDERED ON SIGHT ever since the Seattle WTO protest of the late 90s, when he denounced Antifa as a bunch of thugs and has to have permanent security at all of events ever since.
So he tried to stand on some political principles, getting relatively famous and rich in the process, but doesn't have the backbone to take any responsibility to follo9w the arrow he fired. He's a colossal hypocrite IMO.
Have you been following the springfield ohio stuff? Moved in 20k Haitians and shocker, they are killing and eating cats, dogs, and fucking over all the native folks there. That's going to be what's done going forward. Sure the clown faggot governors are gonna send a busload to blue areas and cheer like they really owned those libs, epic style. Meanwhile tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hell, millions are going to be shipped into red states.

The accelerate folks have some mental image of some combustion point, some huge come to jesus moment that will never come. It's a slow steady burn that has been going on for a good while already. That's the reason I went at you the way I did. You don't seem to understand that this isn't something we can pull back from, this is something that has already fucked us to the point I don't know how easily we can recover. If Trump loses this election, we likely won't get another person like him until it's truly way too late.
Haitians and Somalians are the only demographic on earth worse than gyppos.
That guy looks suspiciously like a zombie Elon Musk.
Being a leftist in the current year means accepting all kinds of absurd dogmas that can change from day to day. The faithful are told to pivot their views on a dime depending on what's convenient. Casting Trump as the source of all evil helps them by creating a fixed moral point that they can use to anchor their belief system.

This has been done on a wider scale in Western societies with Hitler after WWII, enshrining him as the villain whose deeds we must never repeat. This goes against the historic pattern in most cultures, where the mythos is focused on a legendary hero(es) who people strive to emulate. Heroes are short-lived in the modern West because they create fixed moral points that may impede the goal of perpetual revolution. For example people saying that MLK was a wimp preaching colorblind ideology that was implicitly white supremacist. The villains of modern culture have a much stronger, more enduring presence than the heroes and thus they're the ones it truly reveres.
Very succinctly put. Makes me think, the Internet, talked about like it would bring in some enlightenment due to vast streams of information and education, has essentially made critical thinking stoop to the level of a cartoon written by a three year old.
Kamala, when asked of her accomplishments:

"Today, I would like to look to tomorrow. Which will make today, tomorrow's yesterday. And when we think about yesterday, our history, we must think about our past. And when we think about our past, we cannot have our past without our today. Because once today becomes tomorrow, it will be our past. When I think about today, I also think about all of the yesterdays that have come before today. I also think about all of the tomorrows that will only happen, if we make it through today. So in closing, today is the best today of all of the todays."
So close. For proper Kamala word salad, the last word should be "yesterdays".
 
Okay? And how do you suppose he, by himself, accomplishes that?

You do get that most of our government's actual power is centered in congress, right? Or did his first term not make that clear?

Trump can become a dictator on day 1. A benevolent dictator who will fix everything.

none of the dems i talked to knew that we literally can't deport anyone back to their COO because the motherland refuses to accept them.

Just dump them in their countries anyway and tell them if they try to come back to the USA again they'll be shot.

thats the law right now. theyre called anchor babies for a reason.

No it isn't. Anybody who emigrated to the USA and became a citizen can legally vote. Including any illegals who are given amnesty and citizenship. Changing the law to only natural-born citizens being eligible to vote will remove millions of voters, the majority of whom are probably Democrat voters I bet. Does anybody have statistics on which way immigrants vote? Or which way natural-born citizens vote?

They are so scared of Kamala flubbing the debate. Everywhere you look it's "Trump did this", "Trump is a rapist", "Trump shouldn't be running" and they're doing this because they know Kamala has no chance of victory if she gets dogged on national tv like Biden did.

I was wondering why the official Meta Quest Twitter was tweeting that so I went and looked. The official one is actually @MetaQuestVR lol!
 
No, they are malicious. Everything about the border and immigration is done out because they hate you.
Well, I hate them too!!
When Trump wins he needs to change the voting laws so that only natural-born citizens are allowed to vote.
I'd like to go several steps further. i.e. property owner, value to society, etc.

For better or worse, we're at the stage where that's the only way to cut through the bureaucracy. Obv, it's not an option by design, but it's not like the government faithfully represent it's design in the first place.

Why yes. It's really odd that the candidate who didn't receive a single democratic would be in this position. The same candidate who got oblierated in her last presidential debate at the very start of the primaries. The same candidate who has avoided questions in front of a camera like the plague. Why would there be any expectations for someone like her when there mean old Donald DRUMPF.

Sort of funny how all those "trump is terrified of kamala, he won't even debate her, he's SCARED" just sort of faded fast as fuck, eh?

Trump is a proven debate powerhouse, it's not that he's a great debater in the classic sense, he's just quick on his feet and and ready to just pounce. Kamala, well she just isn't.
 
Wasn't Reagan the asshole that sowed the seed of amnesty into the brains of illegal aliens resulting in the second wave of 15-20 million illegal aliens in this country now?
What we need.

"Trump's claim is true but misleading because some people criticised Operation Wetback. If some people criticise a policy then that policy doesn't count, even if it works. Unless it's a Democrat policy, even f it doesn't work."

No it isn't. Anybody who emigrated to the USA and became a citizen can legally vote. Including any illegals who are given amnesty and citizenship. Changing the law to only natural-born citizens being eligible to vote will remove millions of voters, the majority of whom are probably Democrat voters I bet. Does anybody have statistics on which way immigrants vote? Or which way natural-born citizens vote?

Following up my earlier post, I couldn't find out which way immigrants voted in general, but Hispanic immigrants (as in those born outside the USA, not descendants of immigrants) are 53% Democrat and 39% Republican. Asian immigrants (I assume they just mean Orientals?) are 50% Democrat and 28% Republican. As of 2020 10% of all voters are immigrants, which is 23.2 million voters. So if Trump changed the law so that only natural-born citizens were eligible to vote it would remove over 23 million voters from the next election after the law is changed. This graph is from 2018 and shows a breakdown of immigrant voters by race. (Except Hispanic, which it says includes Hispanics of any race.) Although it only adds up to 97% because it says some races and mixed-race people were omitted.

For the debate, I bet regardless of what happens; they will try to state that Kamala won even if Trump delivers a Tulsi Gabbard-tier kill shot. That was the plan for Biden but he imploded so hard on live TV that it was impossible to recover from it. I ultimately think the debate would work in Trump's favor as long as he can make it about policy.
 
This shit with Springfield Ohio is insane. I'm sorry I can't think of better words I'm kind of drunk but if you can look at the nightmare going on there and not vote for Trump I don't even know what to say. You're either for the invasion of our country and feral 60 IQ blacks murdering small animals to cook or you're not. This will be my third time voting for Trump.
 
I'm just honestly baffled how we're supposed to ignore that the president disappeared and the VP is pretending she's going to do shit when she becomes presdident instead of ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.

Like fuck dude, this is literally a rare opportunity to put her money where her mouth is in the middle of her campaign, but no.

inb4 Trump cosplays as Gabbard to fuck with her.

I don't know. I've always been curious what dog tastes like
 
Only tangentially related but has anyone seen the new Reagan movie? I wasn't going to until I saw that it had a 20% journo score and 98% audience score and now Im curious as to what's pissed them off.
I don't expect it to be 100% accurate but it's interesting timing given Trump has so many parallels to Reagan at this point.

I haven't seen it yet but when I was playing in church this morning, the singer told me he saw it and that it's heavily faith based. Heck, even Kevin Sorbo is in it. We all know how the media reacts to any positive representation of Christianity in a film, and any faith based movies get shit on instantly. When he told me that the Tomato scores made a lot more sense.


Gary Condit's son is having his own sex scandal. While he's not being accused of killing an intern, he hurt his back eating out a senator.
No real comment on that convoluted story but telling a guy named Chad to eat your pussy to prove his loyalty is a pretty strong power move.

Also, I spent my teen years fucking around with chicks in my car endlessly. I went down on chicks in the back seat, across the gearshift from the driver's seat. Hell, even curled up under the glove box sitting on the floor while the chick was in the passenger seat and maybe at worst my foot fell asleep. How the hell do you herniate three discs and collapse a hip while eating pussy? Sounds like his back and hip were already shit and he's just looking to justify it. Seriously, if you don't have it in you to say, "Hey, can we switch positions? This isn't doing my back any good..." then you deserve what you get.


Would make sense, this far out, in order to scare dem voters into action.
There's a fine line though between trying to push people to action and completely demoralizing them to where they feel like it's pointless to even bother.
 
October Surprise: Bernie joins Trump and RFK Jr to go against Big Corporate

Sadly, Bernie's just a tool designed to keep the pseudo-marxists on the plantation so they don't miss the free gibs. Same trick as Bill Maher et all, different audience.

Someone said before that redditors have the smuggest yet most midwit level responses.
Same as Leftists on Twitter, actually. You can use ChatGPT, which speaks like a Midwit using the same value system as the left, to "speak lefty" and it drives them bugfuck nuts.

 
the tread is barely moving at a crawl.
It's like the quiet before the shitstorm that will happen during the debate. It's kinda eerie.
God forbid someone laughs at on-topic memes during big down times.
The politics thread is for serious discussions by serious intellectuals only! :mad:
