Rob Schneider issss.... a comedian who has been very famous for decades, has been in many hit movies including a few that he was the lead in plus a few TV shows including of course SNL in which he was a main cast member for years and has been a Republican since 2013 and has spoken out on many conservative issues since at least then. How exactly is he a grifter? Being a grifter would be still being a Democrat and speaking out in support of every cultural marxist cause going so that he could keep getting cast in as many Hollywood movies as possible. Especially as the lead.
This is too long for a fake movie trailer

Rated PEEGEE THIRTEEN
 
They said the wall would cost too much while they said billions (and billions) of dollars to Ukraine.



That’s the reason Putin (and others like him) endorsed her. They want the US as weak as possible so they can steamroll it and others.

Putin didn't really endorse Kamala, he was clearly joking. I wish people would actually watch the damn video rather than blindly believing what other people say and repeating it. It would be like if the Russian MSM said "Donald Trump says he’ll flee to Venezuela if he loses the election". Oh, wait, the MSM did say that. But not the Russian MSM.

Donald Trump says he’ll flee to Venezuela if he loses the election​

Ex-president repeated unsubstantiated claim that Venezuela was sending all of its criminals to the US​

Donald Trump hinted that he might flee to Venezuela if he loses the election this November.

The former president made the comment as part of a fear-mongering prediction during his X interview with Elon Musk on Monday.

“If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we’ll meet the next time in Venezuela,” Trump said.

He elaborated, explaining that Venezuela — a dictatorship where nearly two dozen people have been killed in crackdowns on political protests — would be far safer than the US if Vice President Kamala Harris wins in 2024.

“We’ll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela,” Trump said, “Because that’s what’s happening—their crime rate’s coming down and our crime rate’s going through the roof.”

More than 1,200 people, including journalists, opposition supporters, and children, have been arrested in Venezuela as sweeping political arrests have rocked the nation, the UN reports.

Trump took the opportunity to demonize immigration, suggesting that criminals from Venezuela were illegally entering the US.

"Their crime rate is coming down and our crime rate is going through the roof. And it's so simple. And you haven't seen anything yet because these people have come into our country and they're just getting acclimated and they don't know about being politically correct, law enforcement or lack of law enforcement and our police. I have to just end with this. We have great police," he said.

He told Musk that Venezuela had gotten rid of "about 70 per cent of their really bad people," with the suggestion that their "really bad people" had all fled to the US.

"Their jails are about 50 percent, put into the United States. Same with other countries, over 30 percent. Some are at 50 percent. They're all different," he said. "But the bottom line is they're all going to be 100 percent. Why wouldn't you put 100 percent of it?"

Shocking that they chose to cast Jon Voight, who was the best character IMO. Isn't Voight very openly Republican? His daughter disowned him for not being woke IIRC.

Coppola intentionally cast some actors who have been "cancelled" as he was protesting "woke" Hollywood.

Francis Ford Coppola says Megalopolis isn't 'woke,' features actors 'who were canceled'​

"What I didn’t want to happen is that we’re deemed some woke Hollywood production," the filmmaker said.

Francis Ford Coppola continues to build anticipation for his new film Megalopolis in... unique ways.

The 85-year-old cinema legend recently touched on some of the controversies surrounding the film, including the casting of actors with conservative views, like Jon Voight. "What I didn’t want to happen is that we’re deemed some woke Hollywood production that’s simply lecturing viewers," Coppola told Rolling Stone. "The cast features people who were canceled at one point or another."

The only other "canceled" member of the Megalopolis cast appears to be Shia LaBeouf, who was accused by former girlfriend and singer FKA Twigs of "relentless abuse" in a 2020 lawsuit.

The Apocalypse, Now and The Godfather director continued that "there were people who are archconservatives and others who are extremely politically progressive" on the Megalopolis set. "But we were all working on one film together. That was interesting, I thought."

It's been widely discussed and documented that people like Jon Faveraeu and the rest of the Obama blowjob boys from Pod Save America spent their eight years in power cosplaying as the cast of West Wing and living out their West Wing fan fiction storirs they wrote in college.

Just for those who might have got thew wrong idea, that's not THE Jon Favreau of PCU and Friends fame.

But I bet had Trump flipped off a troon he’d be ‘so based’.

Walz flipping off a troon would be based.

There's something to be said for living up to your name. What a flake.




For elections why don't they split the states up into constituencies or whatever and have 1 electoral vote per constituency? So, since California has 54 electoral votes it would be split into 54 constituencies for example. That way half of California's cities' votes wouldn't be overridden by Los Angeles, San Fransisco and wherever the most illegal immigrants and adult children of illegal immigrants are.

because muh democracy.
 
Was talking to an elder yesterday and she mentioned that she believes Obama is behind the majority of Biden's decisions instead of Kamala, including now, despite the fact that Biden hasn't been heard from in quite a while now. I don't lurk much on this thread so how likely are those claims to be true?

It's a reoccurring theory that Biden is Obama's third term.
Biden policies are largely bigger, dumber, more disastrous versions of Obama policies:

Obama Biden
Solyndra scandal < Cutting the Keystone XL pipeline
Using the IRS to punish conservative organizations < Infinite detainment of Jan. 6 protestors
Russian Reset and Maidan Coup < Russo-Ukraine War and formation of BRICS
Arab Spring and the fall of Morsi and Gaddafi < The Fall of Afghanistan
Pivot to Asia < Russia and China openly working with each other
Obamacare (buying insurance is required) < Vax mandates and lockdowns

So yeah, there's circumstantial evidence for it. Not enough to get out of conspiracy theory territory.
This shit in NC is increasingly looking like some Mandate of Heaven/Fisher King bullshit. A storm hits a swing state and the current government is so incompetent or aloof they’re allowing free good publicity to the opposition, the sort of PR move that couldn’t even be DREAMED up? I always thought the Mandate of Heaven bullshit was stupid or a meme, but holy hell they might’ve been onto something…
It's always been a meme. It comes from people, not God. Natural disasters happen,
So a little while ago I looked up the rescue the republic website for that event, checked out the livestream they had on their website for it, and looked around the video while it was still active.

Didn't seem like it drew that many people, but it was also pretty tame given I've heard/seen nothing about it. Looks like the 'the left left me we the real right-wing now' retards like Weinstein might have gotten an uncomfortable reality check on their actual popularity the same way Carl Benjamin did back in the day.
They've gotten boring, TBH. Russian money aside, they--and RFK and Gabbard too-- are following trends over setting them back in 2015. It really doesn't help that Trump, and maybe Vance, are the only avenue of change in the US, so they have to side with him even in a passive sense (pointing out the Left's flaws). Local politics have been largely stymied if there's a legit Dem majority.
 
Kamala finally noticed she should probably put something out after Biden made it worse so you get "Professional woman getting the job done" pic and a vague statement on the issue


I'll give that maybe FEMA needs time to set up stage in the most affected spots. But I think it says something about the lack of direction these govt depts have from the top have that nothing was scrambled sooner. It's not like Helena's path wasn't known - wouldn't you start to manuver people a bit closer to make sure there's resources out there?

I remember during the 2019 hurricane season when Dorian hit Florida. We were Honeymooning in Orlando and we had a whole bunch of workmen staying in the hotel pretty much waiting for their marching orders to repair damage when possible. So there must be some pre-planning and staging govt can do prior to these events
 
The fact that the feds have done absolutely nothing to actually help with relief efforts is disgusting, and the fact that it took a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE who is NOT IN OFFICE to do their job is despicable. I respect Trump for this, so fucking much.
It's East Palestine all over again and I'm sure the Governor will try to tell Trump to fuck off.
Come on you know why the Dems are not helping (yellow is without power):

I'm legit worried this is just soft voter suppression in critical states.
They know MC is lost for them so they don't care.
100% agree. Even if you have problems with DeSantis, he is fucking phenomenal when it comes to preparing for natural disasters and responding to them. I've even seen my leftist friends praise him for that.
Being autistic about hurricane prep is mandatory for Florida.
Also particularly telling is how the media is exclusively focused on North Carolina and ignoring Georgia and Florida.
Looking at Florida makes NC look way worse.
I don't know what I would like to see more, RFK heading the CIA or RFK's food autism taking the reins of the FDA.
While the thought of him heading the CIA is funny as hell, I want him in charge of the FDA a lot more. The average American is deeply unhealthy because of the shit the FDA says is fine for us to eat and it's seriously affecting national security at this point.
 
I remember gas being below 2 dollars a gallon for the first time since I was old enough to drive.
I remember in high school one of my teachers said something along the lines of "I'm sorry to say, you guys will probably never pay less than three dollars a gallon for gas" and if Hillary had won he probably would have been correct
 
Bird augury has been fucking me up bad this year. I don't want to go full schizo. Birds being prophets is not a part of my religion. But a person I know well irl screwed around and deliberately offended a less common type of bird, a bird with with symbolism around kings and leadership. He had a petty gripe with it- it wasn't hurting anyone- and I said, he better leave that bird alone. I have a bad feeling. He scared it off his property. Then he got suddenly, almost fatally ill, which caused him to lose his role as the head of a very important organization. I knew it would be bad if he messed with that bird. That bird was holding up his mandate to rule.

I've seen hawks, eagles, owls, ravens, and kingfishers in unexpected places right before something cataclysmic happens. Don't ask me what birds I've seen lately unless you want spoilers on reality, that's all I'm saying man.
I truly envy you.

My reality only gets this interesting and dramatic when I do drugs. But I don't do those anymore. But this post makes me want to.

I don't need birbs to tell me everything is going to shit, everywhere.

Bless your sense of wonder. Bless your heart.
 
Do you honestly expect people to prepare for a hurricane post haste? You're lucky if somebody has a emergency relief kit.
I guess I'm spoiled by how Florida handles it because they tend to do a lot of advance prep for these things.

I'm more expecting FEMA to be proactive than anything else, place people who can help just close enough that they'll avoid the main path but can easily get to places by helicopter or however else they need to do things. But I dunno if they are stuck waiting for Biden to give an OK or something. The unfortunate result of keeping the puppet on the strings in the hope he'll keep truckin' till November
