Yes she said she's voting for Kamala, who didn't see that coming? But she didn't tell the her nutty fanbase that they HAVE TO VOTE FOR KAMALA OR SHE THINKS THEY'RE NAZIS. After countless self absorbed celebrities pretty much made it clear they despise you if you don't agree with them Taylor's post just didn't offend me. I can't say the same about her music which is insipid.

That’s by design. It’s psychological manipulation. How she votes, her followers will vote.

Costco sells apocalypse food buckets good for up to 25 years now. Just stock up and you will be fine.

Saw a video reviewing it and it sounded like absolute slop to be consumed if no other options are available. If going with a "fuck out of my land" approach, growing crops and being able to take care of chickens would be my bare minimum threshold to attempt it.

im getting 5 acres in the middle of nowhere, a lot of guns and bullets, and im going to pretend the world doesn't exist soon outside of my immediate vicinity and retards yelling at each other on the internet. if i starve to death i'll let you know.

Use lot/parcel checking websites to know who owns the land around you. If you really think nukes are going to fly, use a nuke map to make sure you're outside the fallout. And don't forget to check for flood plains.

But really, you're going to need some version of your state/country surviving if you want the nice stuff like electricity and Internet. Still need a plan to keep that going, even if just locally.

See that Shell gas station next door? The gas sold there came from a hub in f'ing Wisconsin.

It has to be piped underground for a long distance in order to infuse it with magical Earth spirit energy, so fueling cars with it causes less global cooling/global warming/climate change/global boiling/global racism.

She was pro Trump when Hillary thought he would be a great heel to be conquered. After that Loomer has been all over the place when it comes to Trump. I'd sooner trust a gipsy with my car than Loomer being honest.

I'm calling complete bullshit here.

Start at page one and let me know when you find proof she's flip flopped on the Orange Man. She has never been "all over the place" like the other cuckservative grifters.

Unlike the Site Owner, I'm not going to shit up this comfy thread any further with misinformed tourists (I'm a lurker), and if you wish to slapfight with me over Loomer any further, meet me in her designated thread (where I will also ignore you).

For anyone thinking Copmala is assured victory in November just read between the lines in the latest CNN article (archive):

At a leadership retreat for top aides in Wilmington last week, Jen O’Malley Dillon – the campaign chair hired by Joe Biden and retained by Kamala Harris – ticked through the battleground states and warned them: the vice president still did not have any one sure path to 270 electoral votes.

Pennsylvania looks rough, though very possible, by their internal numbers before the debate. North Carolina, disappointing Democrats every election for the last 15 years, is feeling better to them this time around than Arizona, which Biden narrowly won four years ago. Nevada and Georgia both seem possible, though depending on the poll, can take a lot of squinting. Michigan and Wisconsin are looking like the best of the bunch for Harris, according to the campaign’s internal numbers.

As pumped as Harris aides are about her debate performance earlier this week, they don’t think it changed any of that.

That makes for a lot of potential paths to victory based on the current and projected internal data, O’Malley Dillon told them last week, but multiple top aides on the Harris campaign told CNN they fear that if the election were held next Tuesday instead of eight Tuesdays from now, Trump still would be in a good position to win.

After two and a half slower weeks since she closed out her convention in Chicago, a number of leading Democrats are stressing out that Harris could be in danger of losing the excitement and good vibes they need to overpower what they expect to be high and devoted turnout for Trump.

But that is not the feeling in Harris campaign headquarters, where many conversations focus on the 5-6% of voters still showing up undecided in battleground states, the set opinions those voters have of Trump and the continuing interest they tend to say they have in learning more about Harris. Top aides tend to talk these days about “eyeballs” and “moments,” and however many different plays they can come up with. They will keep having Harris at big rallies, but slip smaller events in between, building out the affinity groups and leaning into targeted appeals like playing up the endorsement from former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney. Harris’ appearance with the National Association of Black Journalists next week, for example, scheduled for Philadelphia on National Voter Registration Day, was a very orchestrated choice.

“There’s a quiet confidence and security in what we’re doing and the mission, but no one thinks we have this in the bag,” said a Harris campaign aide. “It’s going to be a grind until Election Day, and after.”

Harris advisers are spending their days cutting campaign ads from the debate and poring through data that they believe may show she got an important sliver of a bump. An internal summary of the campaign’s “dial groups” measuring immediate reactions, which was described to CNN, says that Harris’ best rated moment was when she spoke about abortion and Trump’s worst rated moment was when he cited a fake story about immigrants eating pets. But a dozen leading Democratic operatives and officials told CNN they worry what will happen if the campaign reverts, as it has done this week after the debate, to the standard rhythm of bus tours and stump speeches and teases of an unconventional interview or two.

Some Democratic officials have been wishfully scrolling through Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour schedule – which features three shows each in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis in the lead up to the election — and have begun reach out to try to get Swift to translate her endorsement into campaign concerts. The dream scenario in the minds of several of the people talking about this: either joint or parallel Swift appearances with Beyoncé.

Harris has “become a cultural political icon — politics is too small to hold it. You’ve got to do something that transcends it,” said one top Democratic official trying to make the shows happen. “An unconventional campaign means you have to do unconventional things.”

Harris HQ focusing on impact more than policy​

At campaign headquarters, aides are already working toward more appearances like Harris’ online conversation next week with Oprah Winfrey instead of any big speeches or more policy rollouts like her economic plans, unless the campaign sees ways to leverage those into grabbing more attention.

Yet Harris advisers are running into limits of the calendar: unless they succeed in goading Trump into accepting a second debate, the only big event left before Election Day is the Tim Walz-JD Vance vice presidential debate on October 1.

David Plouffe, former President Barack Obama’s campaign manager, is leading the push among Harris advisers for breakthrough moments and innovative appearances. Harris and many around her tend to be dismissive of the value of traditional media, and believe they get more of a boost from putting her in situations like hugging voters during a brief Sunday stop at a spice store in Pittsburgh than she ever would from any interview.

Plouffe’s role is in part affected by the simmering tension between different factions —carryover Biden aides, new staff who came with Harris, a clutch of Obama alumni who parachuted in together and the core group of advisers who tend to spend the most time with the candidate on the road and at the Naval Observatory — although the infighting looks nothing like the dysfunction of Harris’ 2019 bid.

O’Malley Dillon’s leadership retreat last week, for example, was part therapy for aides coming off their rollercoaster summer. But it was also part information sharing — amid the massive divergence in political conditions, ballot propositions and candidates that Harris aides believe could upend the trend of recent elections where states move in regional blocs.

This year, what Plouffe is running up against is Democratic trauma from the last two presidential elections that they’ll miss basics or take advantages for granted. Plouffe himself famously predicted in June 2016 that Hillary Clinton would win over 350 electoral votes, and that was before she was widely seen to have won all three of her debates. And four years ago, Biden’s polling lead this far out from November was clearer than any that Harris has.

Translating the summer enthusiasm into fall work without the enthusiasm draining won’t be easy, said Dan Kildee, a retiring Democratic congressman from the critical battleground of Michigan. He said he’s heartened that 35,000 new volunteers signed up in his state since Harris became the nominee, but he said that won’t matter unless they’re managed and deployed correctly.

“The heft of the campaign is greater, but the work is phone calls, it’s door knocks. It’s the kind of boring stuff done with enough volume and enough repetition that we increase it,” Kildee said. “Then there’s the special sauce: can we get some of that magic?”

Obama is expected to be central in that effort, with aides working to add to his usual slate of late fall battleground campaign rallies – in person or with online influencers, whom he’s been pushing to use their platforms to get followers to vote.

The first taste of that will come next Tuesday, for National Voter Registration Day: Obama already recorded videos and other content in Chicago and at home in Washington that his office estimates will be hitting 30 million users across social media, aimed at younger voters.

“Our boss always wants to push the envelope, and the teams are aligned there. We’ll definitely be having some fun,” an Obama aide told CNN. The former president will kick off his work at a fundraiser he’s hosting for Harris next week in Los Angeles.

Former first lady Michelle Obama, who delivered a rallying cry speech in Chicago, is not expected to campaign, instead sticking with her officially non-partisan voter registration efforts.

‘There’s not that many fish left in the sea’​

When it comes to volunteers and on-the-ground organizers, Democrats believe they will have an edge over Trump. They think that’s particularly true after his handpicked new chairs shut down many of the in-state offices the Republican National Committee had opened, outsourcing much of his outreach and turnout operations to outside groups.

But much like when many were working on Biden’s campaign — although to a lesser degree — Harris aides and other Democratic operatives say they know they’re still running up against voters who aren’t and won’t ever really tune in or pay attention to any of the traditional ways of getting in touch.

“The big thing we know about those voters is that they weren’t responding before and they’re voters that don’t respond to traditional media,” said Ben Wikler, the Democratic chairman in Wisconsin, where a range of in-person and texting voter-to-voter community outreach has been underway since the spring. “But also we need everyone who does pay attention to traditional media—so we have to do both.”

Mitch Landrieu, the former New Orleans mayor who moved from being a Biden campaign co-chair to a Harris campaign co-chair, told CNN on Thursday that he’s realistic about the difference between the first 50 days of Harris’ campaign, when she was energizing Democrats whom Biden had sent panicking, and the 53 days left, when she has to try to close the deal.

“She’s still trending in the right direction. And every day she’s won. And every day we’ve actually gone up a little bit,” Landrieu said. “At some point in time, you have to stop expecting it to keep going up because there’s not that many fish left in the sea.”

TL;DR? She;'s fucked outside of some major global event equivalent to COVID-19 allowing for prolonged voter fraud

Unlike figures such as Mike Cernovich (embarrassingly shilled DeSantis) and Nick Fuentes (embarrassingly shilled Andrew Yang in 2019), Laura Loomer has stuck with Trump all throughout, which is probably partly why she is more targeted than other pundits with obvious mental issues.

It was explained to me that it's because every state has different blend requirements for fuel sold in their states and the refinery was producing a more profitable (to Shell) blend than Louisiana requires. It was more profitable for the gas station to buy the cheaper blend and have it shipped 2k miles.

Another fun energy story. In the Katrina aftermath I sat in a meeting with the electricity company where they explained power couldn't be restored to the region for at least two months because the generation facility had been damaged so badly. I naively asked how this could be when I had just driven past the nuclear plant 20 miles west on my way to the meeting, there was no damage and they were operating. No they said, that nuclear plant supplies all of the power it generates to Mississippi through 100 miles of transmission cable, that wasn't where New Orleans' electricity came from. The plant supplying S. La was... wait for it... on the coast in Mississippi.

Red dot optics for small pistols are fucking retarded.

Irons should just be co-witnessed anyway. Maybe overkill on some mouse gun like a .380 auto or .32 acp. Even on something as small as glock g43x it is pretty nice. There is definitely a learning curve to effectively using a rds on a pistol but when you do, it's superior.

 

[likeacrackado]

Trump surrounds himself with one more stupid bitch and now people are taking about nukes and bugging out with jugs of dog food. Have you guys been paying attention to the last 8 years?

The 'cat thing is fake' is getting around. Had someone call me saying don't worry about, they heard from the MSM it's fake. I said it's real, but not going to show them all the insane shit on my X feed now either.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

couldn't even figure out TOR.

literally the wogglebug chick figured out how to tor to come here and tell us how we were wrong about Frogman and Wogglebug being big gay for each other

IT for health systems is a tough job, I feel for him.

Seeing his body of work, i suspect he's embellishing. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a phone cuck a la Shawn Noakes

 

[Cryptojew]

my no-lust-whatsoever practice has affected me so much that I started getting mild erections whenever I saw women like Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama on screen, so basically these days I just look away whenever ANY woman comes into my field of vision (irl or on a screen)

I didn't need to know this, and I don't think the rest of the thread needed to either.

I know a smug millennial who pretends he's above it all but somehow only wants to criticize blumpf. He said it was a fake happening because Trump said "millions of Haitians have come to the US and are eating cats and dogs" and that the whole thing is a lie because it's not millions and that makes Trump look stupid. I don't even know if Trump said it was "millions" of Haitians but either way, I hate technicality smug soys so fuckin much, man.

I don't give a fuck lmao, I'm probably going to live until the 22nd Century (born in 1994 here) and I am going to continue not giving a fuck about these kinds of posts until that time.

 

[Historical Strelkov]

yeah? even on the forum people recoil when you talk about racial issues. there's no point.

the federal government will die the second the money dries up. that'll happen sooner or later. just hope the country isn't already 90% black/latinx/arab by then.

remember that yugoslavia was literally the same exact fucking people with very slight ethnic, religious, and linguistic differences. the difference between serbs and croats is a dialect and orthodox vs catholic. Slovenes and Croats are even less different. they're both catholic. they speak a very similar language. it's literally just a dialect and slovenes live in the mountains instead of the coast. these very small differences led to the most brutal siege in modern history.

america has all the differences. huge dialectical differences . direct language barriers between spanish and english. ethnicities from literally every corner of the world. muslims and christians, but also shi'a and sunni, catholic and protestant, and then degrees of fundamentalism. you also have centrally organized sects like latter day saints that are more community focused. then you think about regions: mountains vs flatlands vs coasts vs deserts. do the people of western virginia really relate to those around DC at all? it's one big fucking powderkeg. you could cut this country one of a hundred different ways.

diverse countries are literally only held together by money. when the difference in QoL between living in the USA and the Pacific Northwest Reich or the Republica Popular de la California is nominal, people will choose self-determination.

You're blackpilled, because you can't awaken the racial consciousness of America, or unite disparate denominations into coherency?
What's stopping us from dealing with all this shit except the will, the ability to organize, and the means to do so?
Seems defeatist, without the next inevitable chapter conceived.
Whites already self-organized when they established the constitution.
What did they do? Did they enshrine one form of Christianity into the government? No.
But in 1790 they did enshrine being white.
The least you could do is be whitepilled about what comes after.

I was originally going to shit on you a little because muh peppers and muh weight loss journey, but I really do hope you succeed. Plenty of posters should have tips on whatever-or-other if you hit a roadblock with some portion of your quest for self-sufficiency. Where I am now, there's enough acreage and produce to feed one person with some surplus to barter for dairy and poultry. There's a well with a pump that can be powered or manual, but eventually it's going to need the kind of maintenance that is only possible in a working industrial/technological society.

Spoiler: SHTF sperging

None of the above will be workable in the event of real collapse. I've been actively maintaining my own bugout plan since early 2020 and it's sobering how many contingencies exist that I cannot reasonably hope to address. One can only hoard so much in terms of modern materials and spare parts. Even the best forward-planners will be coasting on the momentum of societal knowledge that will likely never return, at least not in a similar form. In any sudden collapse, it's a near-certainty that my real world network of contacts will lose communication or somehow get separated. I try not to dwell on that too much, or else I get mopey and my own planning suffers.
