So you don't believe what the 2 congressman said, nor that no Americans were harmed by them during the following 18 months.  ?

Believe it as they told it?  No.  Only because the exact same story came long before.  My guess is their story is them converging being there with Trump telling them this badassery story sometime after.


I still think his debate performance is evidence that he is not up to standing toe-to-toe with any formidable world leader.  His best testimony about his international diplomacy skills is that the leader in the other side of the table is “afraid of him”.  


That’s 7th grade playground level.

You gathered that from a debate? But Kamala’s foreign policy wowed you?

Speaking of the debate, Kamala was again asked today how she specifically plans to bring down prices, and she went on the same word salad diatribe that she did on Tuesday, almost verbatim. “Well I grew up a middle class kid”

If you were to tell me in 2007 that VP Dick Cheney and Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, who authored the torture memos for the W. Bush administration during the early days of the War on Terror, would be supporting the Democratic Presidential nominee, I would not have believed you. 

This one shocked me lol. 

Once boogie men and now saviors. That is what should shock you.

Yea, he’s a moron. I’ve said it many times. I don’t know much about her other than being a crazy conspiracy person, but wish Vance would have called her out for the curry comment.

I love it that Dick Cheney (and his daughter) is endorsing Kamala. It gives credence to my theory that the parties are actively switching paradigms, which I've been pointing out for a long time. 

The Dems who used to be anti censorship, anti war and pro working class are now - pro censorship, pro war and anti working class.

And I just saw a clip of somebody on Morning Joe complaining about other media outlets. To paraphrase, reporting on Trump objectively is helping him. And they were big mad about it lol!


Ptown, is it racist if I find that interesting and funny?

I agree that's deplorable, but if Obama and Kamala can hang out with racists, why can't Trump?

This is hilarious because they still haven't learned from 2016.  For a party that thrives on playing the victim card, you'd think they would know better than to turn Trump into a victim.

It also exposes the media.  Darth Cheney the warmonger is now a media darling.  What he thinks now matters.

Prior to this week I would have had no idea who Laura Loomer was.  Now thanks to the media I now know she is ripping the republican party apart and has been whispering in Trump's ear.

This is anecdotal, but every Trumper I know consumes considerably more news media than anyone else in my orbit.  I know what’s on Fox News, the NY Post, the Daily Mail, etc, everyday because it’s proffered as “in my opinion” everyday.  These same media gluttons are always the same people who go on and on about how “unfair” the media is.  


We like in a time where there is any option for news media you want.  The “big, bad media” is a weak, weak argument.

I consider myself a pretty big consumer of media.  Until this week I never heard of Laura Loomer.  Yet today its in your face.  Had to google her.  Yes I found all the info I needed to make a judgement.  Yes we live in a time where we can find the truth or believe a lie.  But some outlets have a pretty big flashing sign that attracts attention.

It trickled down to this site so I commented.  As for the media.  There is no greater outlet to drive the masses than the media.  You know it, I know it, and those seeking power and influence know it.  The media is a preferred tool of any totalitarian regime.  So to write off as weak that powers seek to influence a media narrative and are successful at large outlets would be ignorant.

Question had you heard or were up to speed with this Loomer before this week?

Last week Kamala said she didn’t want to take away your guns. Today she says “Ban Assault Weapons”. Clown

Yeah, that's a really good way to cause massive problems in this country.

Yeah, but I'd say that has to do more with me spending a certain amount of time on social media. She's part of the younger era of "influencers" who live on Twitter and whatever, saying whatever because in that world, no publicity is bad publicity because the endgame is always to simply get attention. I'd guess that if you don't spend much time there, you probably would have far less knowledge of her than if you do.

Same.  Not the first time, either.  It was liberal posters whining about Project 2025 where I first heard about that.  And we can go on and on and on - the left is always looking for that right-wing boogieman to demonize Republicans with.

I wasn’t up on Laura Loomer, eating pets, Walz’s DUI, Kamala sleeping her way up, etc.  They all come about the same way.

I wonder what the odds are at least some of this is leftwing media operators creating conspiracy theories so they can then talk about the alarming crap coming out of the right wing?  Tail wagging the dog stuff.  It definitely happened, a lot, during the whole Russia Russia Russia fiasco!

And, yes, I realize that's more than likely a conspiracy theory that has been out there for a while.

Loomer and the pet eating just this week.  Had not heard of Walz's DUI.  Kamala's personal activities have been in public discourse for well over a decade.

As for this pet eating if its a thing is it that far fetched.  I mean if you come from a shithole country where this is normal for survival some may continue to do so until taught otherwise.  Your always going to get the good the bad and the ugly.

Laura Loomer isn’t new to the scene either - everyone hearing about her is what’s new.  Just like every other shocking thing that pops up about a politician during election season.


I don’t even know what to say about the Haitians stealing and eating pets.  I am reading Robert Caro’s biography of LBJ.  During the time of WW1, there was a HUGE movement in Texas to pass a law allowing citizen’s arrest of German-Americans because it was believed they were stealing and burning Americans’ flags to honor the Kaiser.  Sounded eerily familiar.
