Dixcus said...: Democrat influencers have doctored a photo of a girl who died of cancer and superimposed the face of Kamala Harris onto her.

All because she's wearing a McDonalds (Canada) uniform.

Trying to convince people that Kamala Harris didn't lie about working at McDonalds.

They'll trash the memory of a dead child cancer victim if it gets Kamala in.

- By any means necessary.
- Whatever it takes.
- The ends justify the means.

Dixcus said...: Absolute BEST news of the day: NY Times insiders are complaining that they're losing subscriptions.

Why?

Because their idiot readers think they refused to endorse Kamala Harris.

The insiders say that the Times brass is discussing whether they should try to stem these cancellations by reminding their idiot readers that they are not the Washington Post.; 10/27/24, 5:57 PM
Big Mike said...: When and where was that particular uniform worn? I’ve been eating now and again at the Golden Arches for more than 60 years and I do not recall it.; 10/27/24, 6:00 PM

Dixcus said...: Kamala Harris plans to kill 1,375 innocent buffalo at Yellowstone National Park. They're waiting until winter of course, when the park is less visited, to begin the carnage.

lonejustice said...: Somebody asked me today whether I was financially better off 4 years ago under Trump than I am today. My answer was that I am way better off financially today. I am recently retired, and I scrimped and saved all I could before retirement, and my stocks, mutual funds, IRAs and other investments have gone through the roof. I have had an incredible financial windfall. I never had this much financial gain under Trump.; 10/27/24, 6:59 PM
Jersey Fled said...: Now subtract 20% for inflation.; 10/27/24, 7:06 PM
Mason G said...: "and my stocks, mutual funds, IRAs and other investments have gone through the roof."

Democrats want to tax that gain, you know.; 10/27/24, 7:10 PM
Maynard said...: Da Bears!

Doh!!!!; 10/27/24, 7:11 PM
lonejustice said...: I'm still way ahead of the game. Yes, 20% inflation over 4 years is higher than I would want it to be, but I never saw these incredibly high increases in my net worth under Trump. It's not just all of my investments. The value of my land here has increased 300% over the past 4 years.; 10/27/24, 7:13 PM
lonejustice said...: And just look at the price of gold! I hope most of you have been buying some gold over the past 10 years.; 10/27/24, 7:23 PM
Drago said...: LOL; 10/27/24, 7:24 PM
Wince said...: Asset price inflation is good for you, it sounds.

Consumer price inflation absolutely devastates people with low incomes and little wealth.; 10/27/24, 7:25 PM
Clyde said...: Wankers of the World, Unite! Pro-Harris PAC Goes Hard After the Key Wanker-American Demographic

A Kamala Harris-affiliated group is running an ad featuring a young man masturbating while watching porn on his phone. The ad, part of a $2.5 million ad buy in seven battleground states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada — by Progress Action Fund and Defend the Vote, is titled 'Republicans Rubbing You the Wrong Way.'

The ad features a young man whiling away the empty hours lending himself a helping hand when, suddenly, his mellow is harshed by an elderly Republican Congressman stomping about his nasty bedroom in his parents' basement. This ad allegedly supports the theme pushed by the two sponsoring groups that the GOP is out to interfere in people's personal lives. If you consider what the Democrats were willing to do during COVID, it is clear proof that irony is dead and taxidermied.

If you are offended by (hopefully) simulated masturbation, you probably don't want to watch the video.

lonejustice said...: I bought much of my gold back in the late 1980s. It was $300 an ounce. The price of gold is currently around $2,744.10 per ounce.; 10/27/24, 7:48 PM
Jim at said...: I never had this much financial gain under Trump.

Well, as long as you're better off that's all that matters, right?

The rest of us can suck eggs under the economy created by Biden voters and NeverTrump assholes.

But you got yours. Bully for you.; 10/27/24, 7:54 PM

How should we compare this to the Great Canadian Maple Syrup heist? 2700 tons of delicious scrumptious maple syrup.

Retail theft of edible goods is easy. But industrial scale like either of these? How?; 10/27/24, 8:07 PM

'Yes, I was in a cult': J6 rioter backing Harris after admitting being 'all in with MAGA'

"Yes, I was in a cult. Yes, Trump is a cult leader,” she admitted. “I wasn’t listening to my own critical thinking. I got caught up in all the lies.

As for her 180-degree flip to Democrat Harris, she told the Journal, "What she’s wanting to do is actually help the MAGA, help them keep their democracy, and they don’t realize it.”“‘; 10/27/24, 8:12 PM

Drago said...: "GPS—a total of 98,678 mobile devices were at or in the immediate vicinity of Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

Just under 20,000 were in the venue itself and the balance were outside watching.

47% had never attended a Trump rally."--Tony Seruga; 10/27/24, 9:38 PM

wanderingmoderate said...: \

One of the most popular lawyers on YouTube has voiced the opinion that this is the most important election of our lifetime.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bTpbDL5dcg&t=10s I seem to recall, though, that in 2004, George Bush Jr was literally Hitler who would destroy democracy if he were reelected. I even vaguely recall that in the 1980s, if Ronald Reagan were elected, World War III was inevitable. Now, just because the boy has cried wolf repeatedly doesn’t mean that there are no wolves. But if authoritarian government comes to this country, the I suspect that it will have less to do with any particular president, and more to do with the increasing power of the executive branch, and both parties are guilty in that.; 10/27/24, 10:07 PM

James K said...: In 1989 the S&P 500 was at around 400. It's now at around 5800.
The S&P 500 increased around 65% during the Trump administration. It increased around 53% during Biden's. That's before subtracting inflation.; 10/27/24, 10:44 PM

I doubt lonejustice is smart enough to realize that the proper comparison is the percentage, not absolute, increase.; 10/27/24, 11:06 PM
Big Mike said...: Rapper Lizzo vowed the country would mirror Detroit if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected on Nov. 5 …

You know, I just don’t want Front Royal or Strasburg or Winchester or Woodstock or Staunton or any other municipality in the Shenandoah Valley to turn into downtown Detroit, thank you very much. If Althouse wants Madison to turn into downtown Detroit, that’s between her and Meade.; 10/27/24, 11:28 PM
