Ooh...I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Let me know where to send the payment.

I'll take whatever you got to send me lol. I work with enough cultists to know the talking points, you may as well try and convince a goldfish to vote for Harris, at least you'll get to see a goldfish swim around for a while and not pick it's nose and fart.

how I know someone I am talking to is in a Trump cult.

I asked them to answer two questions.

How many jobs did Trump produce in four years and how many did Biden/Harris produce?

How much deficit spending occurred under Trump?

I never get answer from magat. They pull the squirrel over there card or call me libtard loser. It is always the same. Reality has no meaning to them. Only the euphoria of being part of a perceived special in-group. In other words, a cult.

A crucial point for Republicans now is to pretend that someone other than Trump was president in 2020.

I've got an in-law that's a Trump supporter, otherwise very nice person with an adult daughter. Her reasoning ranges from 'everyone in politics lies' to 'i don't think the outlandish things people say about him could be true'.

Repeat after me:

You do not have sex with Trumpanzees.
You do not marry with Trumpanzees.
You do not make in laws with Trumpanzees.

This is not a complicated question or answer. It's simply because they are and/or have become absolutely shitty evil people. They aren't special, they are like hundreds of millions of shitty people populations over the course of history that are all responsible for the most evil shit to happen in history. Really basic stuff.

Yup, all in self haters who see others as they see themselves. Remember not to see them as having chosen to be that way, the only way they would deserve your contempt instead of profound pity. We all suffer the same disease even if not to the same extent.

Oh man, after the last 4 years of Biden destroying the country....
Like?
Dumb question.
Easy answer then.
what did he do wrong? Take a look at our economy and how much of our tax dollars have been sent to fund a war we shouldn’t be involved in. That simple enough for you?...

Had this convo quite a few times. Bad things always happen. How you respond is what value you add. Your value is not determined by what challenges are presented to you. Granted that doesn't cover War Support, but that doesn't destroy the country either.

The shallowness of such passionately held opinions is the worst part. Simple questions often cause them to actually ponder the subject for the very first time. Seemingly, anyway.

Notice how gas prices and the stock market has disappeared from all right wing talking points. I wonder why.

Magats have no answer so they scream inflation and illegals. It is all they have. Even though inflation is now under 3% and migrants crossing are dropping now after world settles post Covid. Trump loves the uneducated for a reason.

The mistake was not realizing that is 49% of the country.

In some families politics is never discussed. There's stuff you talk about, stuff you don't talk about.
Ironically DJT has gladly quipped many times how much he'd like to bang his daughter Ivanka, if only she wasn't his daughter. Many people speculate he's molested her decades ago, but quite frankly that's even worse than many of his known depravities.

It's also like they think the US is the only country that had inflation. It was worldwide due to the pandemic and spending that HAD to occur so that everyone could get their economies back up to speed. The US came out of this the best country in the world. But, global problems like satire are apparently beyond the comprehension of your everyday Republican.

Well considering only about 20% of Americans even own passports.. that stuff is beyond their horizon.

Also their media always tries to find fault at dems rather than showing positive mindset. Just go elsewhere and it's night and day.

The closest to America in terms of media finding fault is India where they're constantly calling Americans stupid for cozying up to Pakistan.. how America is not our friend and Russia is our best friend.

Media brainwashing hard at work. School teachers and text books can't compete with that 24/7 faux brainwashing stream.

Why go there when we have all that’s needed to see he’s a criminal psychopath. Those in denial have too badly damaged egos to look at themselves. They have never known real love. Hopefully Democrats will act in ways that will more and more help them recover including denying them the ability to act out by voting them out of office

Plan ahead if you need to get one. Slowest government process on earth. And why just the USPS.
Mine came back shockingly quickly when I got it a couple years ago, like two weeks or so. Could be because I was one of the early adopters for getting one with an X gender designation, dunno.

There was a period of time when the US Dept of State was way backed up, and it could take months to get a passport. But with some planning ahead, and making sure you renew well ahead of time, it wasn't that bad having to wait. We got passports for the kids in March of this year, and it honestly wasn't that bad now. We got the passports about 4 weeks later, and we got back our kid's birth certificates back about 2 weeks after our passports came in. The only thing I'd say about that is, weekend slots fill up fast. So if you're doing it for kids, you may want to schedule ahead during summer, or you may need to pull them out of school for a few hours during a weekday.

For those with emergencies, you can attempt to make an appointment at an official passport facility run by the State Dept, and you can get a passport in as little as 72 hours. Appointments fill up quick. You'd need to be lucky enough to be able to schedule an appointment though. And have a completed application with all necessary documents for the passport, as well as proof of emergency.

For those that see Trumps past presidency through rose colored glasses; What about kids in cages? What about bodies being stored in freezer trucks? How come the R's couldn't get an Infrastructure Bill passed? What about the national debt explosion?
Cruelty is a positive attribute to Republican voters. They loved the kids in concentration camps and families ripped apart. They defended and gloried in it on this very forum.

It's a form of the Roman Circuses. Pit one against another in a public spectacle.

WTF is going on in this thread? Cause it sure sounds like some of you are planning on trafficking your children or something based on it suddenly turning into a discussion about getting passports for kids?
