Dee Reynolds: Yeah, and then we'll go to the doctor and we'll get all of our paperwork and we'll get full benefits. Dennis Reynolds: Yeah, and then we'll just collect for just a little while, until we get settled. And then, uh, I'll take the MCATs. Dee Reynolds: And I'll move to New York. Perfect. [notices crack dealer outside car] Dee Reynolds: Ahh! Dennis Reynolds: Ohh! My God! Whew. Dee Reynolds: Jesus! Dennis Reynolds: Wow, you scared us. Oh, not 'cause you're black. No, no, no, we're not racist. Dee Reynolds: No, no, God no. Dennis Reynolds: No, it's just that the neighborhood is scary... Dee Reynolds: If you were another ethnicity you'd pop, you'd really pop up. Dennis Reynolds: But it's a nice neighborhood, I mean, it's okay... It's the nature of this... Crack Dealer: Roll your window down. Crack Dealer: Whatchu need? Dennis Reynolds: Uh, one please. Crack Dealer: One what? Dennis Reynolds: Uh, one... rock of crack... A crack rock. Is that enough? Is one crack rock enough? Dee Reynolds: Um, how much would you recommend for a first time user? Crack Dealer: Tell you what, I'll make you a deal. Two for the price of one. Dee Reynolds: Really? Oh, that's very nice of you. Dennis Reynolds: Oh, that sounds good. How much? Crack Dealer: mmm...200 dollars? Dennis Reynolds: Sounds reasonable, great. Okay. Later: Dennis at the welfare office: Hello. Hi, um, I'm a recovering crackhead. This is my r****ded sister that I take care of. I'd like some welfare please.
Ken Paxton vowed to crack down on ‘illegal voting.’ He may have violated Texas election law – Houston Public Media The Texas attorney general appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” ... "You must register to vote using the address where you reside," the attorney general's guidance stated. Despite his own warnings, Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years, including in May's runoff that made him the Republican nominee for U.S. senator, according to records obtained by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune.
Is this really what they’re gonna go with? They’re not even bothering to talk policy. Talarico looks like a clean shaven average white dude JD Vance looks like a lesbian Daryl Morey and wears eyeliner their president is a f*tass who wears a diaper nobody believes Ted Cruz is masculine Ken Paxton doesn’t look “manly”
I find it all so lame. They dig for this kind of crap to roll with when their policies s*ck. How someone's face looks has nothing to do with their ability to do the job. These guys think being macho is more important, yet half of them don't fit what I would consider macho. Trump isn't what I would call manly. Posting Al generated memes of himself looking macho doesn't make him manly. It's not reality. I bet he has never done anything most men do, whether it's outdoor work, changing the oil on a car, fixing something broken around the house, changing a tire, or anything requiring getting his hands dirty. Dude has probably never even gone camping, pitched a tent, baited a hook, gone hiking, washed and waxed a car, used a table saw, or built anything himself. Not only that, he's been wearing foundation for years. Nothing manly about that.
the vast majority of them aren’t manly, don’t look tough, and a good amount of them are gay and in the closet Kristi Noem’s husband was out here dressing like a woman with big t*tties Ted Cruz talking about anybody’s manhood is insane to the point of mental illness people like this are questioning Talarico’s masculinity be for real hell, at least Talarico can claim that his stomach doesn’t enter the room before he does…Ted Cruz looks like he has a basketball tucked under his shirt Trump insulted Ted Cruz’s wife, and Ted was groveling on his knees for him a week later…that’s not a man
new lows from the party of inclusion and moral authority. Apparently its now acceptable to shame people for ‘looking’ homosexual. Liberals used and abused the blacks. Now they used the alphabet people, they will proceed to abuse them. Truly despicable people
This is a perfect example of most men in the GOP. They brown nose and grovel on their knees to a point that it's nauseating to watch. They don't have the courage or integrity to stand up to him when he flat out crosses the line with his nasty insults, lies his ass off, breaks the law, and does things that put people's lives in danger. Suck ups and cowards aren't manly, and neither are bullies, pedos, and rapists. Real men have integrity, and treat others with dignity and respect.
His main claim: China actively interfered in 2020 to tank his reelection, and the "deep state" covered it up. Outside of that being unsupported, and actually shot down by the intelligence community's own conclusions in the documents he released himself... @Salvy and others, looks like he's prepping you and others to reject the 2026 midterms outright, or accept his own interference in them. Trump Just Did More Damage to American Elections Than China President Trump addressed the American people tonight and told them that their elections are at the mercy of foreign actors—especially China. He called the current situation a “crisis” and vowed to prevent any future elections from being “stolen.” He directed the public to a website where people can peruse documents that he says prove not only that bad actors have influenced U.S. elections, but that all of this was kept from him by “deep state” malefactors during his first term. Foreign powers do, in fact, try to influence American elections, but that was about all that the president—who seems shocked that other nations have preferences about who wins elected office in the United States—got right. The rest was a mishmash: Much of the previously classified material that Trump just splattered on the internet does not support his accusations, and in some cases, these declassified documents actually undermine and refute his charges. Trump’s speech tonight rested on a few solid facts submerged in wild, and even somewhat paranoid, extrapolations. It’s true that bad actors have accessed basic data about the names and addresses of voters in several states. It’s also true that China has some pretty strong views about Trump and probably didn’t want him to be reelected in 2020. (The Chinese wanted him out because, Trump said, “I was wise to them,” which does not explain how he was nonetheless hoodwinked.) From there, however, we slip the surly bonds of Earth and head into the dark and cold of the space of conspiracy theories. Trump strongly implied that in 2018, China was on the attack and trying to influence the outcome of the 2020 election, and that American intelligence operatives plotted to keep that from him while he was in the Oval Office. He said that attempts to rectify all of this have fallen “catastrophically short” but that he will take “swift” action in the coming days. The documents he offered tonight, though, tell a different story—so different that they raise the question of whether Trump, or anyone else in the White House, actually read them. For example, one of the memos from the National Intelligence Council (the analytical group within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence) said in 2020 that the group in charge of cyber-issues and threats to U.S. elections “assesses that Beijing has taken at least some low-level, exploratory steps to undermine the President’s reelection chances by denigrating him and shaping voter perceptions.” That sounds pretty bad. Except that (as often happens in the intelligence community) this group was representing a minority view, as it says in the very next sentence: “Their assessment differs from the IC’s judgment that Beijing has considered but not deployed influence efforts to affect the Presidential election.” So, which is it? The IC (shorthand for intelligence community) seems to have reached a pretty firm judgment in these documents: “The IC,” one of the memos says (with some passages redacted), has seen no evidence that Beijing is engaged in an effort to influence the outcome of the presidential election, nor has it observed activity that it assesses is likely the result of such an effort by Beijing. While we have seen Beijing develop other options that could be used to influence the election, we have not seen these capabilities deployed. Note that what these documents discuss are influence operations—propaganda, proxies who speak for foreign interests, fake stories, and so on—rather than interference, which would involve actual manipulation of data or sabotaging of electoral infrastructure. These classified revelations, despite Trump’s assertions, show that the intelligence community didn’t even agree that China was fully engaged even in these more limited influence operations. One document says, with more firmness, that the Chinese were attempting to undermine Trump’s chances and to pressure business partners into withdrawing support for the president’s reelection. This is perfectly plausible behavior from a U.S. adversary. Of course, Trump skipped over the part about other nations, including one where “senior officials” and their leader were seeking to “covertly influence US politicians’ and political candidates’ thinking” about the election. That nation? Turkey. On one point, however, the declassified reports are clear. One country, more than any other, actively engaged in operations against the 2020 elections: Russia. And the Russians had a clear preference: We assess that Russia is using a range of measures to denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia establishment. For example, it is directing or encouraging proxies to spread claims about Vice President Biden. Some Kremlin-linked actors are also seeking to boost President Trump's candidacy on social media. This isn’t news, but Trump carefully cherry-picked his way around it. In charts provided by the White House itself that compare Russia, China, and Iran, only Russia is judged to be actively involved in such efforts. Trump not only ignored these multiple (and much more categorical judgments); he interpreted the normal in-house fighting that goes on every day in the intelligence community as evidence of some sort of plot against him. He made much of a comment in a group email—these conspirators were pretty relaxed about sending their nefarious ideas around to everyone—about “massaging” the President’s Daily Brief to take out references to the 2020 election. But the conversation was clearly about which product would include such issues, and how strongly the minority view would be stated. Like so much else in the speech and the documents, Trump threw everything he could find at the wall and in the hope that some of it would stick. So what, then, was the point of Trump’s speech? First, he is almost certainly trying to soothe his wounded ego over the 2020 election. He is obsessed with his loss to Biden and wants to blame it on foreign manipulation. But Trump might also have a darker motive, attacking the integrity of American elections because he wants to delegitimize the coming midterms—and perhaps even create the predicate for interfering in them. The Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians, the North Koreans, and many other enemies of the United States clearly hope to undermine the faith of every American citizen in their own elections. But no regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president did tonight.
He ain't prepping me for anything, ive stated previously my disagreement for his decisions this term. I'd love a wake up call for him but then I remember how bad the Democrats politicians are at everything.... Only a party this out of touch and incompetent would lose to Trump twice in the most liberal era this country has ever seen.
I believe you bought into his claims that the 2020 election was stolen. This is an extension of that same narrative. So yes, I think he's priming people who already supported that idea, and likely trying to extend it to others as well. If that's not the case for you, I apologize for assuming. Either way, it's worth staying aware of the damage this kind of messaging could do heading into the midterms. No one want to see a repeat of Jan6 or worse.
Nobody buys this whole “the Democrats forced me to be MAGA” bit anymore dude. You are responsible for the outcomes of what you voted for and what your activism aims to achieve. Every single post you’ve had here in the past few years aims to serve one person and one person only, and that is Donald J. Trump. Be a man and take some responsibility for your activism instead of trying to constantly gaslight and attempt to manipulate. The Democrats haven’t made you do sh$t you weren’t already wanting to support regardless if they were Abraham Lincoln and FDR reincarnated.
I actually have to listen to this a lot. Blame the Democrats for those who turned MAGA. MAGA, you hate Black people, you hate immigrants, you hate your life, you're in a cult. You won't blame Trump and the billionaires sticking it to you. Quite the opposite.
The 2020 election was extremely poorly handled. I witnessed it live as many others and it was weird. This wasn't a bias, it wasn't that my candidate was losing so I was unhappy... It was bs after bs that night with very little sense. The discussion is old, exhausted even. Was the election stolen? I don't know, what I do know is that things happened that night that never had before. Not even Bush v Gore. I'm done with 2020...
I think the word gaslighting is overused I must admit, but there’s just no other word that describes the attempts at manipulating and influencing that they constantly do. It’s overused yes but it’s exactly what you are doing. It’s fcking exhausting to constantly be gaslit. Just freaking be honest for 2 seconds please.
Hold up, I never said that. Never implied it either. MAGA mostly represents my conservative views on immigration, religion, wealth, family, and war. Democrats do not.... I don't think Trump is doing a very good job at anything that I personally stand by. Does not mean Democrats did anything to make me MAGA... What I said is, I can't even hope for Democrats to even do anything because they are r****ded... Show me a competent and fair Democrat politician. One with integrity and not grifting on the base of tds.... One that understands that perhaps being a centrist benefits everyone not just the party funding his million dollar home....
Poorly run elections at the local level happen all the time. Long lines. Corrections. Out of paper. Etc. But except for a very few rare cases at the local level, none of it has ever caused a wrong result. Judicial cases, internal reviews, and studies have all confirmed this. It's Trump who keeps pushing the big lie that it was stolen. It was not stolen. If you still believe it might have been, then my assumption was right. He's prepping your mind to repeat the same again for the midterms, .. to even accept his actual interference in it. Anyhow, as the article concluded, no adversary has done as much damage to American elections as Trump has. The Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians, the North Koreans, and many other enemies of the United States clearly hope to undermine the faith of every American citizen in their own elections. But no regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president did tonight.
