2024 Presidential Election Thread

I take most X posts with a grain of salt. It's gone to shit, but there's a lot of truth to the Aurora madness. It's been going for a while....way longer than the media has been leading on. 

Also my gf is Venezuelan. Her fam is pissed about all of it. "Gives them a bad name." I feel bad for the constant bashing considering 98% of her family/friends are here legally.  

I've tried to look into it somewhat superficially. There is nothing I can find that tells the story of what is really happening with that clip of a bunch of guys, some with guns, climbing up stairs and going into an apt.  

It's probably going to be one of those stories without conclusion.

Trump was fact checked 5 times and Kamala was never fact checked.

Aurora is the hood, well parts of it. 

Vzla fuckheads basically took over an apartment complex and the mayor/police have been fiddle fucking around. 

I'd suggest SWAT roll in, round up and deport the shit out of all of them.

I know no one ever seems to be happy with the moderators at these things.  But in all, I thought these two weren't bad.

I didn’t keep a score count, but this seems reasonable. However, did they fact check him or call bullshit on him for the eating pet’s tirade, or the aborting babies after birth diatribe.

They both lied, but Trump flat out told some whoppers. Most of the rest told on both sides were just cheese burgers.

Wait, what? Is that what Twitter is on about? lol

Hilariously, yes. A number of accounts suddenly started posting rumors that Kamala's earrings were actually this brand of earpiece earrings that were feeding her answers because of a vague similarity in appearance. The sort of thing that makes me think she must have "won" the debate in the view of the public if those dolts are that desperate to muddy the waters.

The great thing is that this is only the second funniest right-wing Twitter thing of the past 48 hours or so. Someone decided to ride this whole "THEY'RE EATING PETS!!!!!" stuff as far as it could go. I've seen AI pics/vids that are just awesome in that "well, that's not gonna stop the 'they're weird' line the Ds have going" way. My current favorite is a pic of Trump in a suit holding a big gun, riding a giant housecat, leading an army of smaller cats. There's also a vid of him holding a cat and running.

We are truly living in a time. What sort of time, I'm not sure...but it has me 50/50 between being afraid and laughing uncontrollably, so that's something!

Oh please, DA.

You can be fair and still admit to the truth of things. And the fact that the mods never fact checked her on things like Russiagate, both sides and IVF is just pointing out the obvious.

And I promise you, you will still be a fair person, and can still hate Trump, by just admitting to simple truths.

The people I know, who did it the right way (got citizenship legally), are pissed about the illegals and want them deported.

Well, DeWine is sending troopers and money to Springfield to help cope with the incompetency of the federal government.

There are still people calling into radio stations swearing their migrant neighbors are BBQing cats and have called the cops on them. 

After rethinking this, I call bullshit because these migrants are probably eating better than us with their freeloader government assistance checks they're getting. No need to go "old school" and fry up a feline.

Hey, if you can grab the pussy, eat the pussy!

Legally is a loose term regarding most Venezuelan migrants. The OGs who came most likely were a mix of entering with a visa, overstaying, then claiming political asylum or just giving yourself up at the border and claiming asylum right then and there. I guess the latter would be deemed illegal, but then once you get asylum you have legal status and SS# and work permit are a few months away. My GF's family all entered via option 1 ~4 years ago, but some (the ones who didn't give a fuck or couldn't get a visa) went with option 2.

TPS opened up a whole new can of worms allowing Venezuelans already here to claim family members and grant them entry, if they declare they can take care of them financially. Again, "legal." 

Not saying you, but the majority of people spouting off about immigration, migrant criminals, blah blah, don't understand the nuances of the situation(s). 

I know when I was in Ca. and hiring people, I had to get a lawyer to school me on who I could legally hire and all that. The hiring practices back then were akin to playing landmine because the fakes (ID's and Visa's) were SO close to the real deal. I can only imagine the level of sophistication there is currently. Glad I don't have to hopscotch my way through all of that anymore!

That damn Heretic got me looking up some of these memes

I turned it on for 7 minutes. It was fine, and then Trump said Kamala wanted to have transgender surgery to illegal immigrants in prison who are eating your pets. 

I uhhhh, couldn't do it any further. I hope you all understand.

It is not incompetency, it is purposeful and planned.  The leftists want the chaos.

If the media is falling all over themselves to say it is not happening, you can pretty much be sure that we will find out someday that it is indeed happening.  It sort of reminds of when they said border patrol agents were riding horseback and whipping illegal crossers.  They have zero shame in lying. 

The “eating people’s pets” thing may go down as one of the stupidest things ever said at a presidential debate.

Trump’s hardcore followers were who he catered to last night.  I don’t understand that strategy.  Harris spoke to people in the middle who may not know much about her, which made sense.

In all his ranting and raving, it became obvious how deeply she got under his skin.  That made me imagine this guy in a room with a sophisticated adversary…the strategy for taking him down couldn’t be more obvious.  He cannot keep his cool; his coherence diminishes quickly when he’s flustered; his thoughts become disjointed and he loses the plot.  You can see how Putin had him eating from his hand after their summit.

I think the debate was a huge L for Trump.
