One of my favorite actors ever.. It's a shame his daughter Jolie went so wacky, but Voight's always been a stand up guy IMO. Him and Robert Duvall.

ETA and sorry if this is late, but damn even SNL's dunking hard.

What a guy that Abe was...

It is kind of funny that if you create the right question copilot will answer it...

The more you learn about Lincoln the less you disagree with Booth.

Democracy won guys.

I consider runaway train to be one of his best movies. If anyone hasn’t seen it yet please do it’s a damn good movie.

I actually haven't, but I need to for sure, thanks. I think of Deliverance with him mostly. And Mission Impossible.

This absolute weirdo is doing more for humanity than every other mummer fuckwad that claims to save the world.

Even if he just proves that you really can't do much without massive amounts of wealth, I can't bring myself to hate him.

It also brings to light how little the fags in the WEF and Kamala's Cabinet give a shit.

Literally they can just throw money at actual problems.
But no.

Republicans are pouring tens of millions of dollars into getting GOP voters to cast ballots before Election Day.
They’re frustrated because Donald Trump keeps getting in the way.
In just the last few weeks, the former president has dismissed early voting as “stupid,” falsely claimed that 20 percent of mail ballots in Pennsylvania are “fraudulent,” suggested mail carriers could “lose hundreds of thousands of ballots, maybe purposefully,” and baselessly accused Democrats of exploiting a program that sends ballots to overseas and military voters to evade citizenship checks.


Trump’s vilification of mail and early voting methods, a key component of his web of stolen-election conspiracy theories, stoked a deep partisan divide that Republicans have spent the better part of the last four years trying to undo. They have also tried on and off since 2020 to persuade Trump himself to embrace early voting.
But with just weeks to go, they have plainly failed to win him over. While Trump has sometimes come around — urging his supporters at rallies, in tele-rallies and through social media posts to take advantage of expanded voting options — Republicans warn his rhetoric is threatening to undermine it all.
“It’s counterproductive,” said David Urban, a former Trump campaign senior adviser who led his successful Pennsylvania effort in 2016. While the former president has occasionally warmed to the issue, Urban said, when “we’re kind of pushing a message, and then the president comes and says, ‘I’m not so big on that,’ it’s much more difficult to convince people.”
Trump’s resurrection of his baseless claims of early and mail voting fraud — one way in which he is laying the groundwork to potentially challenge the results of a second election if he loses — comes as Republicans and GOP-aligned groups wage multimillion-dollar campaigns to get voters in key states to embrace those methods. It’s a massive effort aimed at getting reliable Republican voters to cast ballots early so that the party can redirect resources in the final stretch of the campaign toward winning over lower-propensity voters who could decide a close election.
“The whole idea behind absentee voting is you’re banking that vote, you’ve got that person, you know they’re going to vote for you, you get them off the list,” said Mark Graul, a GOP strategist based in Wisconsin. “This is how you get the extra 5,000, 10,000 votes that may decide the election.”


And Trump’s scaremongering “screws it up,“ Graul said. “It’s silly.”
Republicans’ early voting efforts have been driven by frustration at the string of electoral losses the party has suffered since 2016 and a recognition that voters are broadly comfortable with mailing or otherwise casting their ballots early.
“For three years, I didn’t like it. But during those three years, we lost elections,” said Tom Eddy, the chair of the GOP in Erie County, Pennsylvania, a bellwether that voted for Barack Obama, Trump and then Joe Biden.
“You have to accept it in order to have a chance to win. And that’s what we’re doing. We’ve been pushing these things like crazy,” Eddy said in an interview.
Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee launched a “Swamp the Vote” program to encourage voters to use early voting methods and have invested millions of dollars into get-out-the-vote initiatives that include an emphasis on early voting, according to the RNC. GOP officials have been criss-crossing the country urging Republicans to vote early, pitching it as both convenient and safe. Trump’s campaign displays messages at his rallies encouraging people to cast their ballots before November — talking points that are also loaded into his teleprompter. And the former president has been delivering the message through tele-rallies in key states.
Pro-Trump super PACs and other Republican-aligned groups have bolstered those efforts. In Pennsylvania, for instance, the Republican State Leadership Committee and Sentinel Action Fund have joined forces with Keystone Renewal PAC, the super PAC supporting Senate candidate Dave McCormick, on a massive $12 million effort to boost the number of GOP voters using mail balloting in the key state. As of August, the group was nearly a third of the way to its goal of adding 200,000 to the annual vote-by-mail application list.
But state data shows little improvement in mail voting rates among Republican voters. After a pandemic-fueled peak in 2020, mail voting has roughly settled in the biggest battleground state. And this year, as in the past three, registered Republicans are severely lagging Democrats — accounting for just over a quarter of mail ballots requested and less than a fifth of those that have been returned as of Friday, according to state data.Republicans point to Virginia as a state where their early voting push has helped get voters to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day. But even there, it’s proven a challenge to cut into Democrats’ advantage. The voter data firm L2, which is tracking early voting, found that voters who are Democrats — based on modeled partisanship, as Virginia does not have party registration — still made up a majority of ballots cast so far through early and mail voting. The party’s advantage only grew when including ballots requested but not yet returned.
And Trump has undermined Republicans’ — and even his own — messaging nearly every step of the way.
In January, after winning the Iowa caucuses, Trump claimed mail ballots beget “crooked elections.” He called them “treacherous” during an event in Detroit in June. During an interview on Real America’s Voice in September, he claimed, without evidence, that the postal service would lose mail ballots either “purposefully” or through “incompetence,” and floated filing a lawsuit against the agency. And at a rally in western Pennsylvania late last month, Trump encouraged people to vote early, only to reverse course and call it “stupid stuff” moments later.
“It does send a mixed message,” said Andy Reilly, the Republican national committeeman from Pennsylvania. “But I’m confident in everything I’ve heard from the Trump team, and his campaign has said on numerous occasions that independents and Republicans and Democrats should feel safe in using the mail-in ballot.”
Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the former president “has encouraged ALL Americans to vote absentee, early, or in-person on Election Day” and that “our aggressive political operation is leaving no stone unturned in reaching all supporters who prefer to vote early and ensuring that they submit their ballot by state deadlines.”


Some Republicans working with the party downplayed the impact of Trump’s inconsistent messaging, dismissing his talk of nefarious ballot schemes as nothing more than tacit acknowledgments that while the former president has accepted early voting as valid, it is still not his preference. And they have taken pains to reassure Republicans that mail voting is secure.
“Donald Trump has not been a big fan of early voting in the past, and I’m not sure he’s much of a fan of it now,” said Brian Schimming, the chair of the Wisconsin GOP.
But “for whatever asides he might make here and there, the message is pretty clear,” Schimming added. “At no point ever, when I have talked to the president, as he said: ‘Brian, I really want you to stop talking about early vote.’”

@Sekirodiealot That is such cope. I'm going to early vote. Frankly this year it'll be the only way because Nov 5 is going to be day all day long lines, fuck that. And Republicans aren't really against 'early' much, it's the mail in shit and no ID. Early with ID is fine.

That's what i get at. Why are dems so scared of people using ID's to vote? It's common world wide to use ID's to vote so why is it only an issue here in the states exclusively?

Their public explanation is that niggers and poor people are too stupid/poor to get ID's. The obvious real reason is fraud.

America needs to figure out a way to gayop and brainwash proof the normies, as do other countries. I think we're reaching a consensus here in the USA, but it has been slow. People are becoming less gullible. Trump is the answer to that consensus, in my opinion.

It's going to take government action cutting down on the negative programs and private sector embracing positive programs.

We need to figure out legal ways to make our kids smarter and more resilient. I think RFK's plans to overhaul harmful additives (food dyes, petroleum additives, unstable preservatives, excessive unfermented soy, etc.) in food could help significantly. We need less plastic, especially those involved in heat, which is an endocrine disruptor too. Soy should not be in baby formula in my opinion.

I know Orange Man loves his Diet Coke and Null loves his Coke Zero, so I'll parlay that Aspartame should not be in food or drink unless clearly labeled DIET or ARTIFICIALLY SWEETENED. I still think that Aspartame isn't good for you, but the risks of it are still worth it to people who are trying to avoid sugar for various reasons.

The education system needs overhauled and the real history of 2016 to 2024 needs taught. Our textbooks need to reflect the truth of what these years have been to America and the world.

Hell, I've encountered a gay White communist who worked and studied in China, who then worked on school textbooks in Texas. Bastards like that need fired and prevented from writing bullshit in them.

I'm not saying we need eugenics, but we need to provide tax incentive for moderately skilled, contributing people to have more children. We need to put the extremely mentally ill back in hospitals. We need bad people put in prison or deported before they can kill good people who have children. We need dumb 3rd world retards expelled from this country before they can create root problems.

Trump is the clear answer to these problems via his appointments, external ties, proposed legislation, and executive orders.

 

[The Ugly One]

Some of the big nigger cities like Milwaukee rely heavily on busing to boost turnout. A James O'Keefe video exposed it. They just put a bunch of niggers on a bus and drive them from polling station to polling station to sign in and vote. Scott Walker passing an ID law shut that down. Niggers are pretty stupid and lazy, so to get them to cheat in an election, you have to make it pretty easy. The Democrats know that if we make cheating even somewhat difficult, WI, PA, and MI could flip red permanently.

If I wanted to subvert a country, I'd start with the educational system. Critical thinking needs to be back, a person that can think for themselves is someone resilient to propaganda. As you said, someone who is familiar with the history of the US is resilient to the garbage that they are fed through screens.

I'd run an actual survey to see how many people actually know what the Constitution says, it'd be depressingly low in my opinion.

Stupid and ignorant people can be memed into believing and accepting anything. Hell, that's how we memed men into believing they can be women. You also have Critical Race Theory which is just abhorrent, I could go into an autistic multi-page rant about it. Kids nowadays lack basic reading comprehension but they know that being white is wrong, it's some of the saddest things I've seen.

Plot thickens in NC. FEMA and the red Cross are allegedly shutting down any distribution centers they come across to "inventory" them.

Couldn't understand why FEMA/RC always did this, before Helene too. I wasn't thinking big enough past corrupt bureaucracy, now I'm thinking they've always redirected donated supplies to illegal 'migrants' and never for Americans in need. They don't even help majority black areas like that one town that had undrinkable water or the Hawaiians, it was obviously never a racial thing but an incredibly evil ideological one

All of that is a red herring and makes you sound crazy to the average person.

The main reason why kids are getting stupider is because parents trusted teachers to educate their children but despite said kids spending more waking hours in school than with their parents, the teachers fail to properly educate them.

If you want your kids to be smart, you have to educate them yourself: either pull them out and homeschool or send them to a second school that actually teaches them (which is what first-gen Asian parents do though Kumon is a retarded waste of time if the regular school is competent).

It's not often an SNL actor does a really good president mock. Phil Hartman on Clinton (and even Trump back then) and Dana Carvey on the HW Bush were so great. With obama they were scared to even mock him at all, but the guy they used sucked anyway. I feel a little bad for the this actress because either way she won't be able to do much with this. They won't use her to mock that much if she wins, but the most likely outcome now is we never hear about Harris again after a few months and that won't help her career either.

It's one of those things where you think "What ELSE could it be but evil and hate?". The only way their response (or lack thereof) makes sense is if you attribute malice to it.

(X) How else do you explain this other than they hate you and wish you were dead because that means less votes for Trump, more migrants and easier access to natural resources? All the responses are great, good read if you want a mini whitepill in the midst of the catastrophe.

That public explanation is absolutely bullshit because niggers and poor people drink beer and smoke just like anyone else. Guess what you need in order to buy any of that shit from any store?
