The Anglo and German Unitarians in that particular area are far worse than the Irish Catholics could ever dream of being.

I like that Trump is going after the Shitposter demographic, I’ve always felt underrepresented in that way.

ACKSHUALLY ELON THAT WAS DEBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONKED
Unitarians are about as heretical as you can get for a Christian sect, they deny that Christ is God, if you don't believe in the Holy Trinity you're already lost as any sort of Christian.

I'm in a comfortable red state right now (hope it stays that way) but I looked into early voting because why not, and apparently we don't have it.
I don't consider myself a Musk fangirl but every time I see someone complaining about how twitter is "dead" or whatever it pretty much tells me all I need to know about them. Literally the only thing different about twitter is not being able to ban and censor people you disagree with as easily.

A couple months ago on the main channel he posted a video about 4 lies he believed. I don't feel that he was being quite so charitable to Elon as he was to himself, but that's how most people are with people they disagree with.
I don't think Hank (like most i fucking love science leftist influencers) has much interest in understanding the other side beyond a dunk or two on tiktok.

I have no idea why Nontrinitarians are even considered Christian.
Boston-based Unitarians are responsible for so much globohomo bullshit. It's fucking unreal.

Remember, cheating to win is considered a rubicon moment because once you cheat to win, you inherently disconnect winning from properly competing. That has knock on effects -- which the left doesn't believe in, but reality does, and reality wins that argument -- wherein you aren't doing things that will win you an election, because you don't NEED to win an election, you can just cheat. Which inherently means you have to cheat to win the next time, because you aren't doing things that will win you an election.
This spirals out of control rapidly and results in exactly what we're seeing here. Eventually, they get caught cheating, or the cheating fails. And if the other side is smart, they damage the networks or change the system that allows for the cheating, and the other side is forced to either start trying to win elections again, giving people what they want, yadda yadda -- or they're forced to try and be better cheats, work in inherent flaws in the system that allow for cheating, etc etc.
If I were a more politically active person, and lived in a swing state, and had Stage 4 Cancer or something, I'd absolutely be trying every little poke-the-bear kick-the-tires style way of cheating I can find. Because me doing it on a small scale (I voted for Mickey Mouse 15 times and it counted all of them, I found an entry on aliexpress for my state's ballots and had 1500 printed up voting in a Mao / Xi ticket, etc etc) would be VERY obvious and would inoculate the system from any "glitches" other bad actors may wish to use later on.
Someone pointed out they do this when they want to use footage in ads, cause by making him extra golden they can cut the color and he still looks iconically Trump.

All of the fags proclaiming that Twitter is dead still post there all the time. I remember when Elon bought Twitter there were 100 different sites that everyone was going to migrate to. None of it worked because they were all echo chambers for retarded people.

1 county each in Oregon, Washington report issues with US Postal Service not delivering ballots

Voters in two counties in Washington state and Oregon have not received mail-in ballots with less than a week to go before the election, election officials said Wednesday. The news comes two days after incendiary devices were set off in ballot drop boxes in both those states.
The U.S. Postal Service failed to deliver an unknown number of ballots in Coos County, Oregon, and it didn’t deliver up to 300 ballots in Whitman County, Washington, elections officials told The Associated Press. Both states conduct elections by mail.
In Coos County, a rural, coastal area in Oregon’s southwest corner, the number of missing ballots wasn’t clear because officials only know of a missing ballot if the voter tells them, Laura Kerns, a spokesperson for the Oregon Secretary of State’s office, said in an email Wednesday. Coos County has about 50,000 active voters.
In Washington, up to 300 ballots have not been delivered in the community of Garfield, Whitman County Auditor Sandy Jamison said. The town about is about 55 miles (88 kilometers) southeast of Spokane, in the eastern part of the state. There have also been some reports of missing ballots outside the town, Jamison said.
Coos County Clerk Julie Brecke said in a statement that her office has been inundated with calls after the ballots didn’t arrive “as a result of an error at USPS.”
Officials with the postal service did not immediately return messages to The Associated Press on Wednesday. U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has repeatedly sought to reassure Americans that the Postal Service is prepared to meet the challenge of mail-in ballots.
Some election officials remain wary based on their experience during the primary season, when some ballots arrived late or without the postmarks required by some state laws.
DeJoy acknowledged that a massive network reorganization caused temporary problems, but he assured election officials that changes are being paused until after the election. “We engage in heroic efforts intended to beat the clock,” DeJoy told reporters last month.
Postal Service officials said that nearly 98% of ballots were returned to election officials within three days and that 99.9% of ballots were delivered within seven days in the last presidential election — at the height of the pandemic in 2020.
In Whitman County, Jamison has verified that a third-party vendor delivered about 24,000 ballots to the post office Oct. 16 and the postal service marked them all — including the now missing ones — as received, Jamison said.
“I don’t know where they went after that,” she said.
Postal officials told her Wednesday they were still investigating. “They still have no official word to me that they have found the ballots,” Jamison said.
″We’re reissuing ballots as a quick turnaround as we can get, as time is of the essence now, obviously, for them to get their ballots back into us,” she said. Ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 5.
Residents have the option of having their replacement ballot mailed to them or they can pick it up in her office.
In Oregon, officials also are encouraging people to contact the Coos County clerk’s office as soon as possible to get a replacement ballot issued.
Kerns said the problem appears isolated to Coos County.
Any ballot postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service on or before Nov. 5 will be counted, even if it is received in the clerk’s office up to seven days later, Kerns said.
In a statement, the Oregon state Senate Republican Caucus urged the secretary of state, county election officials and the postal service “to immediately resolve this unacceptable delay and ensure every voter receives their ballot without further interference.”
Attacks on ballot boxes in both states were also reported earlier this week.
On Monday, incendiary devices were set off at two ballot drop boxes — one in Portland, Oregon, and another in nearby Vancouver, Washington — destroying hundreds of ballots.

It's not a bad instinct, for the crowd that fancies themselves politically savvy. But it's not going to work, because Trump isn't anything like Dukakis.
Also it was centralized media with a strong control over public perception that roasted Dukakis for that photo op, they don't have that power today. The Twitter addicts can't get anything to go organically viral, the best they can manage is the minor dopamine hit of seeing their hashtag show up in the sidebar. No one has the institutional power, cultural sway, or media savvy to make that kind of an accusation stick. Especially not to the guy who just got a boost in the polls for wearing a McDonald's apron for half an hour.

Keep an eye on this website. It's the kind of public verification anons were using to detect dead voters in Michigan in 2020. Once the election officials heard about it, they took the website offline.

Easy, the gen X wants what it didn't have, its why you have guys born in the early 1980s who pushed to ban Apu and call people Nerds online, meanwhile the kids who grew up until the anti-bully era are all about offensive humor,
calling women "ugly trannies" is a southern thing?
you do know Vermin explicitly said people should do that to cars with his sticker on them as a way to show they agree with the statement right?
@Hey Johnny Bravo what did this person mean by this?
thats why i'm holding my breath, if Big Mike with literally all the media backing couldn't do shit whats RFK going to do?

Trump told Netanyahu he wants Gaza war over by time he enters office — sources

Former US president Donald Trump has told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he wants Israel to wrap up the war in Gaza by the time he returns to office if he wins the election, two sources familiar with the matter revealed to The Times of Israel this week.
The message was first conveyed when the Republican presidential nominee hosted the Israeli premier at his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort in July, according to a former Trump administration official and an Israeli official.
While Trump has publicly confirmed having told Netanyahu that he wants Israel to win the war quickly, the sources speaking to The Times of Israel are the first to reveal that a timeline was attached to that request.
The former US official stressed that Trump wasn’t specific in his appeal to Netanyahu and could well back “residual” IDF activity in Gaza, so long as Jerusalem has officially ended the war.
Netanyahu has long stressed that Israel will maintain overriding security control of Gaza for the foreseeable future after the war, and other Israeli officials have spoken about the IDF maintaining a buffer zone inside the Strip while regularly re-entering areas throughout the enclave when it detects Hamas trying to regroup.
But the prime minister indicated on Monday that Israel is not yet at the conflict wrap-up stage, telling Likud MKs in a quickly leaked recording from a faction meeting that he cannot agree to Hamas’s demand to end the war in exchange for the 101 hostages it still holds.
Trump in recent weeks has indicated that he’d give Israel freer reign to make decisions, slamming US President Joe Biden for trying to restrict the potential targets of Jerusalem’s retaliation to Iran’s October 1 ballistic missile attack.
The former US official clarified that the pre-inauguration day victory that Trump wants Israel to secure in Gaza also includes the return of the hostages.
Trump, himself, warned at the Republican National Convention in July that those holding American hostages abroad will “pay a very big price” if they aren’t released before he assumes office.
The Trump campaign and Netanyahu’s office did not respond to requests for comment.
Trump and Netanyahu have spoken several times since their July Mar-a-Lago meeting, and Trump said last week that the prime minister had just called him two days in a row.
Earlier this month, two senior Israeli officials told The Times of Israel that they were concerned about Trump’s repeated calls for Israel to end the Gaza war quickly, fearing an inability to do so will lead to a clash if the former US president wins next week’s election and returns to office in January.
“There are internal political constraints to ending the war quickly,” one of the Israeli officials from the security establishment said at the time.
While declining to elaborate, he appeared to refer to the makeup of Netanyahu’s coalition, which includes far-right elements who have opposed hostage deal proposals conditioned on a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
There is also near-unanimity within the Netanyahu government against allowing the Palestinian Authority to play a role in the governance of Gaza. A second Israeli official said this has contributed to the war dragging on, as Jerusalem struggles to find a viable alternative to fill the power vacuum in Gaza, thereby allowing Hamas to regain its footing in areas where the IDF has left.
A lawmaker from the opposition — also speaking on condition of anonymity — acknowledged that dragging out the war through the January 20 inauguration would also sour relations with Vice President Kamala Harris, if she were to win in November.
However, “Netanyahu has managed clashes with Democratic presidents without paying a heavy price. In fact, he campaigns on his ability to stand up to them,” the lawmaker said.
“A fight with Trump is something he hasn’t really had to deal with, and I think it’s something he’d want to avoid, but [Finance Minister Bezalel] Smotrich and [National Security Minister Itamar] Ben Gvir may not let him,” the MK added, referring to the far-right cabinet ministers whose support the premier needs to remain in power.
