I just had the most unbelievable chat with a guy today..

I've seen this guy multiple times over many years. This person's an illegal immigrant and has been here 30+ years gaming the system and been deported 4 times.. but he keeps coming back.. because he has 2 daughters both born here and he doesn't want to live without them. So definitely not a violent criminal type.. just one without legal status.

He thinks Trump will win because American people are idiots which he admits is funny because he came to America thinking Americans are smart and that's where he'd like to be, but after 30+ years here, he says they're more stupid than the people back home.

He also said he prefers Trump being president because Trump is predictable.. he'll scare people with the eating dogs and cats and once in power he'll just steal money from the country, and government and where ever like the Trump wall that doesn't stop migrants but the money is gone anyways. So he won't really do anything.. he's all talk.

On the other hand he's actually afraid of dems who are meanies and actually mean business with their policies.. Clinton deported him once.. Obama deported him 3 times.. @FelixDeCat so much for your MAGA being tough on migrants..






When you actually talk to someone you get quite an education vs the articles pushed by the mainstream media.

Trump being strong against migrants my ass!

In an election this close, turnout is what matters. Undecideds are rarely waffling between the candidates; they’re waffling about whether or not to bother to vote for the one they sort-of like. Trump isn’t peeling Harris voters off to win them into his camp (for the most part), he’s peeling them off the group of active participants, so they stay home, and vice versa. And so on. The Dems want to depress Trump turnout, but solely via messaging and discouraging his supporters. Whereas the GOP has raised institutional vote suppression to a fine dark art. In a race which purely measures turnout, that's the only edge the GOP can get.

It seems, Trump has no clue how to reverse his slide. He’s like a pilot who’s stalled the plane but keeps pulling back on the yoke.

The problem is, 50% of the passengers are yelling “Man, what a ride!”

Trump couldn't and wouldn't even try to unite the country. It would never even occur to him to try. All he wants to do is influence people (and in a lot of circumstances get their money). But never all people, he couldn't care less. He always figures a ton of people hate him, but he tries not to think about them. They are like in his peripheral vision but he doesn't glance to see who they are. He'll hammer away at people whose self confidence is weak with anything he thinks might be effective . There are millions of such people.

The MAGA outrage from Trump's Truth Social post about how Iran hacked into his campaign and is giving all the info to Kamala's team is insanity. She should be impeached - I don't even believe a VP can be impeached. She should be dropped from the race and thrown in jail. If Trump's so far ahead (according to them) why the fuck would they want her out of the race?

The story was disproven, some Iranian hackers did get into his server, but Kamala's team didn't request any of the info. That's not stopping MAGAs from shitting themselves in anger though. It takes zero actual proof for them to believe some shit like this. But, Trump can break a dozen laws with mounds of evidence and they act like there's nothing there. The post was his usual nonsense and in ALL CAPS this time. The ironic part his server was hacked, which doesn't say a whole lot about how secure it is. That doesn't shock me, I can only imagine he probably has one of his idiot sons doing the IT so his cheap ass can save some $$$.

Imagine you trusting your entire campaign server in the hands of Eric or Don JR? LOL

Even if true he was asked if he was offered information on a political opponent from a foreign country would he accept it? He said yes. So fuck him

Most of humanity has always operated like this.
Witch Trials existed for a reason.
We are STILL those same people. In every single way.

The only difference was that we temporarily created a science based society around the turn of the 20th century. Anyone who was raised that way seeks the truth. Sometimes they do not find it, or are led astray. But they were educated to search for and value it. However, as time and generations passed by, they largely failed to pass on the ideation of this process, this pillar of a modern society. New communication methods overwhelmed and replaced old standards and professions designed to safeguard us. Noise has overwhelmed and entirely consumed the signal. Now our people are bereft of everything that made us different from cavemen.

As a people, we have already jumped off the cliff. We but await the consequences.

Ever listen to Slayer.. they've a nice song about it.. skeletons of society..

Minutes seem like days
Since fire ruled the sky
The rich became the beggars
And the fools became the wise
Memories linger in my brain
Of burning from the acid rain
A pain I never have won

Nothing here remains
No future and no past
No one could foresee
The end that came so fast
Hear the prophet make his guess
That paradise lies to the west
So join his quest for the sun
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be

The world slowly decays
Destruction fills my eyes
Harboring the image
Of a spiraling demise
Burning winds release their fury
Simulating judge and jury
Drifting flurries of pain
Deafening silence reigns
As twilight fills the sky
Eventual supremacy
Daylight waits to die
Darkness always calls my name
A pawn in this recurring game
Humanity going insane
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be

Minutes seem like days
Corrosion fills the sky
Morbid dreams of anarchy
Brought judgment in disguise
Memories linger in my brain
Life with nothing more to gain
Perpetual madness remains
Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of society
Fragments of what used to be
Skeletons of society


Basically the educated and enlightened are the new guard and the old guard doesn't like it because they've lost the plot.

And ofcourse.. we already know what Vance/ right wingers think..
