I mean, if we're being real about wanting to find a hilarious religion-based "look at these fucking weirdos" image, I just saw on Twitter one making the rounds of a bunch of assorted grifters and hangers-on doing some "Pray for President Trump" pic with them all surrounding him and laying hands on. The sort of thing that will set religion back to when Christians were fed to lions and shit.

Far more humorous, especially since you can legit tell this was people taking their shit seriously.

I couldn’t even imagine the mental gymnastics needed to say that’s normal Halloween activity lol. 

I don’t know, your psyche has been all over the place the last few days, sure you can’t imagine some weird shit right now?

Or, it was poking fun at a presidential candidate and his VP, who is being portrayed as an infant.

But this is just too fun for me to stop now. I'm going to keep laughing at two grown men pretending to be upset at some kids dressed up as other people in late October!

I’m not upset in the least

I was wrong.  Your mental gymnastics are top tier lol.

That picture was from some event he attended recently where Tucker Carlson compared the US populace to a little girl who has smeared her excrement on the wall and needs to be spanked by “daddy” (Trump in his analogy) when he gets home.


Not sure if the praying over him was before or after the spanking of the feces-spreading little girl.

I’ll wait for your expert eval.  I know you have a lot of experience with damaged psyches, amongst everything else. This place is so lucky to have someone of your vast expertise.

Maybe Ptown can show up and claim that the kids were racist!


The Dems have been banging the "racist" and "sexist" drum towards Trump for so long that it really no longer has an effect. Didn't you know that their new(er) "go to" is "fascist?" They don't know what it means, but it's fun to say.

Issue resurfaced with John Kelly detailing his thoughts on Trump, where he defined fascism and then used specific examples from his time with Trump to justify the language.

Kelly also confirmed all of the terrible Trump remarks that were in the previous Atlantic articles. 

Now, my point is, it's dumb to focus on this as swing voters do not care about this as it is already baked in.

Kind of like "Marxist".

Hey geeblock, can you come help these two out by adding your own dramatics?

I’ve realized it’s no use, no matter what trump does or says it will be in some way made to be ok. “He’s aloof” , “he’s far from perfect “ is as bout as big a criticism as you are going to get on this page. I try to restrict my posts these days to when people say things that are just blatantly not true

No, dip shit, I thought it was a Halloween thing.

The VP comment was just an alternate view of it that I found funny.

Well, from everything I have read since World History class in high school is that fascism isn't easily defined and that political historians generally just point out some highlights that they can agree on. 

I've seen Mark Halperin, in two separate interviews with different people, say that you also have to take into consideration just how much resentment that built up in the Trump administration, such as being fired, or for somebody being chosen over somebody else. I think the Trump administration was full of mean girls.

For those who aren't familiar with Mark Halperin, he's an investigative journalist who used to work for MSNBC until he got MeToo'd. He's been pretty spot on with his reports - since he said back in the 15-16 campaign cycle that he saw a path where Trump could win. He got into some trouble just for saying that.

He's also the one who broke the story about how and when Biden was going to announce that he wouldn't run again.  I will take his account if things.

I just saw a laying of hands thing done last year. It was at my uncle's (married to my dad's sister) black church in Wheeling. It still happens. It was done for a woman battling cancer. I don't know if it helped her or not, or what the outcome was. I'll have to ask him!

So funny. 


And yeah we established you think it’s a Halloween thing.  Which isn’t the point.  The cultish base is. You keep saying dipshit like you’re not that lol .

I'd heard about that quote. Kind of fitting, since you know who apparently got another sex-type allegation against him yesterday or today. Although now, I'm just hoping no young children were near that gathering. Get a crowd like that and make a comment like that and you know some of those guys were getting excited!

After watching the CNN employee  panel talking about Kamala's performance in the town hall, I'm getting a sort of uncanny feeling that they are starting to turn on her. One of them said that for any questions that she doesn't want to answer she goes to "word salad city". 

This is not good.

But, the Republicans in Ohio blew this in their own maps and here we are. 

Curious as to what your problem areas are with the current Ohio maps?  Which districts trouble you?

As for the make of this commission 5R 5D 5I.  These "independents" what are the chances a libertarian is one of them?

You mean the Atlantic, which is owned by Steve Jobs wife, who is Kamala Harris' bestie connected at the hip?
