Well to be honest I just ignored him. But now I use the advanced SC algorithms to do it for me. In the deep central warren chamber of the GOP tribe. Ron, Slim, trump, Herschel and others all hear the echos of the same racist messages. "So up is down and down is up We’ve all sunk through the rabbit hole Women’s wombs they supervise Concealed guns though they do allow Candidates choose their voters now Democracy be damned and it must bow Screw the Constitution Screw our public health Screw pandemic vaccines Screw redistributing the wealth Sideways no longer exists My way or the highway shall ever persist The “family values” Party of the past Values only power for its die is cast Screw face masks Screw the science Screw the Earth Screw the climate crisis upon us The Party of “small government” Imposes control for its own betterment To win elections is all they care Altering the scales often when they dare Screw women, girls, LGBTQ Screw black and brown bodies Screw the poor and working classes Screw immigrants & refugees For on top GOP wants to remain In bed and in the public domain A Christian theocracy they wish to attain White supremacy is their continued aim Screw the infidels Screw Muslims and Jews Screw atheists and agnostics Screw Sikhs and Hindus No diversity or inclusion Advocacy is mere collusion No critical race discussions No lessons on those delusions Screw gender variants Screw critical thought Screw civil disobedience Screw those communist plots The Grand Old Party are we We’ve been here seemingly an eternity It will maintain and grow by cheating Thievery is permanent and no longer fleeting Screw reason Screw civility Screw discourse Screw nicety We’re here in control for now and ever after Whatever you do will never matter We have the will of the people on our side Well, at least enough to control the tide The GOP in 1000 years still will be But where else did I hear a similar prophecy?"

Great story in the NYT today from a Venezuelan immigrant. He arrived in the US penniless and is now earning $2,600 a month and saving to buy a car. He sends $600 a month home to support his son."I have nothing,” Mr. Alejos, 29, said on his third day in the city, “but I have the will to work and succeed...“There is so much opportunity here,” he said on Thursday, at the end of a day’s work. “You just have to take advantage of it.”. He used to own a machine-repair shop. Abbott paid for his bus trip to Washington. Others not so lucky " found work clearing trees for real estate developers in the San Antonio area, amassing enough money to buy one-way flights to New York." He "has acquired a new cellphone and ear buds, shirts and trousers, and shoes. “I try to keep my priorities straight,” he said. “I’m not splurging. I am trying to build an emergency fund.. In three weeks, he hopes to buy a 2012 Honda Civic." “I always show initiative, performing extra tasks here and there that my supervisor notices,” he said. “This could lead to something bigger; I’m gaining experience.” “What I need now is to achieve financial stability, he said. “Next will come professional growth.” Not the story that the GOP likes to hear. For republicans, immigrants all just want to arrive put their feet up and freeload.

But he is a republican endorsed by trump. So even republican voters who don't follow politics know he will be a good robot for the cause.

Well at least he is consistent. With god if you don't believe you go to hell forever. Because all non-believers and sinners go to hell.

More b.s. I'm not responding to the lies you post any more because your lies and ignorance is tied to a deliberate effort not to learn. From the post of mine that you quoted yet could not be bothered to read. Your type is the worst. Ready to spread racism, propaganda and an agenda of the most dangerous type. "The Ukrainian news outlet Ukrinform reported that Zelensky’s financial disclosure for 2020 submitted to the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption in Ukraine showed he received a salary of 336,000 hryvnias (Ukrainian currency), royalties in the amount of 4.6 million hryvnias and 13.4 million hryvnias from the 2020 sale of real estate." In U.S. dollars, those figures total about $623,000, StopFake, a Ukrainian fact-checking website, reported in April. The exchange rate now is lower. So those figures are know to every Ukranian. Yet you choose to spread lies for purpose.

Factcheck :Social Media Posts Make Unsupported Claims About Zelensky’s Income, Net Worth "posts on social media claim, without evidence, that he has a monthly income of $11 million." From the ADL:"Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, extremists and antisemites across the ideological spectrum have used the war as fodder for promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories. Emanating from classic antisemites and white supremacists, as well as QAnon influencers and Proud Boys acolytes, classic tropes of Jewish power, financial control and “abuse” of the Holocaust narrative abound online. In just a few short weeks, tens of thousands of social media users have been exposed to these dangerous lies. Some allege that the war itself is orchestrated by Jews for both financial control and global prowess." Be it proud boys, brownshirts or QAnon fascists. Conspiracies, lies and racism has a purpose and is spread by acolytes That purpose is evil and should be stopped.

Well the royals do have 18,000 plus hectares of land , castles and gardens to look after. Thats 45,000 plus acres for the rest of us. They do get nosebleeds looking down upon the peasantry from their ramparts.

NFL 'deliberately delayed probe into nude pictures sent by married Brett Favre to New York Jets hostess to minimize publicity for the star' Football players are like movie stars. They come in all stripes with some being stars and some turds.

Where the rubber meets the road in that thinking. Is how more and more Americans don't trust government. How less and less trust politicians. High levels of education and income are associated with higher levels of trust in other people and also with higher trust in the government So you throw organizations like FOX and Rupert Murdoch into the equation that exploit the uneducated. trump and his GOP gang who play upon the uneducated persons distrust of government. Voila America today.

trump and his gang of misfits has turned a new leaf. They are now starting to actually pay lawyers, IN ADVANCE! matters must be getting serious now. "The Save America PAC has advanced former President Donald Trump’s attorney Chris Kise $3 million in an upfront payment to cover his legal fees, a person familiar with the arrangement told CNN." This doesn't include "Nearly $1 million was given to civil and criminal defense lawyers by the political action committee of former President Donald Trump in just July." It appears as if trump bills are now running at nearly a million a month. So trump has about 20 years of funds available as of now if no additional funds are solicited.

The new evangelical christian. "While visiting a private Christian college in southern Michigan that wields influence in national politics, Gov. Ron DeSantis rephrased a biblical passage to deliver a message to conservatives. “Put on the full armor of God. Stand firm against the left’s schemes. You will face flaming arrows, but if you have the shield of faith, you will overcome them, and in Florida we walk the line here,” DeSantis told the audience at Hillsdale College in February. “And I can tell you this, I have only begun to fight.”...He and other Republicans on the campaign trail are blending elements of Christianity with being American and portraying their battle against their political opponents as one between good and evil." Wrapping themselves in the cloak of god. Even if it costs immigrants pain and suffering.

Ya Wendy

Electricity, "It's a scam." Electricity, "It's a scam." Its hard to decide if its funny, mildly amusing, sad, or just MAGA.

While the conversation is ongoing its hard to concentrate on what exactly he was saying. Because after the explanation for one conspiracy. I'd begin to think "wow is this guy ever wacked out", "how can anyone believe something so impossible", then "I got things to do today, I've got to get the hell outa here".

Agree. I used to think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I haven't been to a library in 15 years. Now its equally a conduit for stupidity.

I must have repeated "I haven't heard that" 40 times. I learnt a long time ago that trying to enlighten the ignorant is mostly futile. Schools excepted. You need inquiring minds to learn. I tried to change subjects a couple times but back to conspiracies was all he wanted to talk about.

Yesterday i had my first face to face conversation with a real "Slim" type conspiracy believer. He is a farmer who owns about 20 quarters of grain land(3200 acres). For the 5-10 minutes I was somewhat flabbergasted as to the number and degree of how deep down the rabbit hole he was. - LE in Uvalde met a month before the shooting to plan their response and allow it. - Obama and Biden planned 9/11 - Bin laden is still alive, and on and on and on, non stop.He knew more about US politics than he knew about Canadian politics. But Canadian ones were in there as well.

Erdoğan of Turkey did the same with Syrian refugees. So the GOP is following an appropriate mentor for their base.

Got enough lube? Just oil companies giving you the shaft.

Yes, its as if we have our own Tucker Carlson in SC. Posting a mix of lies and misleading ideas

President Putin explains hospital BASE jumping to MBS at the G-20 "Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has warned US President Joe Biden that if Washington will align with nations that only demonstrate the US ideals, then it "will only have NATO states to cooperate with",...Bin Salman said that the idea of coercion or "using force" to impose ideals of one country's principles on another state is "futile, as proven by the United States' failures in Iraq and Afghanistan... Putin and Saudi Arabia's Bin Salman signed a strategic military cooperation agreement last year to bolster the defense partnership between the two countries. " While at the same time he praised President Putin. In other news in the last week Russia has become the largest supplier to Ukraine of lightly used armor. President Zelensky challenged the west to increase weapons shipments to equal Russia's. Praising Russia for its speedy deliveries to the places needed on the battlefront. In addition he said that unlike western armor. The Russian tanks and self propelled guns came fully armed and ready for instant deployment.

Inside ‘The Firm’: How The Royal Family’s $28 Billion Money Machine Really Works A good article on how the royal family generates cash at every turn and how the ex queen developed a 1/2 billion dollars of assets.

I thought all the museums were already looted by Putin's buddies. Certainly all the Faberge was sold about a decade ago. Are you sure the tanks aren't the wooden mockups because that oligarch buddy needed steel for the Kerch bridge contract?

Can I hear the munch, munch of popcorn from a little Reedsville, PA DZ. As Brent enjoys the havoc of his slim protege?

Isn't that some sort of false equivalency. I will give Harry and Meghan credit for real jobs. For getting out. For principals. As for the rest of the royals. Are they not akin the 1000 lb fat lady at the circus. Where the curious pay to see something vaguely obscene?
