I like how even if their hosed up reality was true, where roaming blacks are murdering pure innocent white people all over the country, the idea of a random white guy being bad is just inconceivable.

Journalist Twitter says that the suspect put up a giant-rear end Trump sign two weeks ago.

From O Keefe Video is up! posted by freeper Anti-Hillary
Yes, another nothingburger from Project Veritas. O'Keefe has been building this one up as a horrible racist statement from a major Democrat official. In reality,
quote:Sorry, this is some nobody and after O’Keefe bragging “Bombshell” for weeks, this is exactly the kind of thing that actually helps Hillary because it is such an oversell, like the headlines: “Hillary explodes at protestors” or “Hillary stumbles on stairs” when nothing of the sort happens.

For those skeptics on this thread who think this is nothing, you are kidding yourselves. Just because it isn’t Hillary using the N-word it doesn’t mean this has no effect at the margin.
Given the demographics of North Carolina this video will pretty much ensure both a Trump win AND a Barr win. Put aside your own thoughts and listen to the Black Pastors at the end. You can count on this being passed along Sunday in a LOT of Black Churches and discussed.
NC’s early voting shows a lack of AA voting so far. This makes it more likely that either the Black vote stays home or some decide to give the middle finger back to the Dems. Either way it is a big positive for us.
Just because you expect Mt. Everest you don’t compare it to a 300-foot landfill if you fail to be impressed. Put yourselves in an NC Black voter and then re-think your position.

From The Conservative Case for Voting for Clinton (David Frum votes for the Witch) posted by freeper bkopto
Other than buying Republican party line talking points about Hillary's "crimes" (I thought Frum was smarter than that), the article itself is a good read.
quote:I have no illusions about Hillary Clinton. I expect policies that will seem to me at best counter-productive, at worst actively harmful. America needs more private-market competition in healthcare, not less; lighter regulation of enterprise, not heavier; reduced immigration, not expanded; lower taxes, not higher. On almost every domestic issue, I stand on one side; she stands on the other. I do not imagine that she will meet me, or those who think like me, anywhere within a country mile of half-way.
But she is a patriot. She will uphold the sovereignty and independence of the United States. She will defend allies. She will execute the laws with reasonable impartiality. She may bend some rules for her own and her supporters’ advantage. She will not outright defy legality altogether. Above all, she can govern herself; the first indispensable qualification for governing others.
[...]
I appreciate that Donald Trump is too slovenly and incompetent to qualify as a true dictator. This country is not so broken as to allow a President Trump to arrest opponents or silence the media. Trump is a man without political ideas. Trump's main interest has been and will continue to be self-enrichment by any means, no matter how crooked. His next interest after that is never to be criticized by anybody for any reason, no matter how justified—maybe most especially when justified. Yet Trump does not need to achieve a dictatorship to subvert democracy. This is the age of “illiberal democracy,” as Fareed Zakaria calls it, and across the world we’ve seen formally elected leaders corrode democratic systems from within. Surely the American system of government is more robust than the Turkish or Hungarian or Polish or Malaysian or Italian systems. But that is not automatically true. It is true because of the active vigilance of freedom-loving citizens who put country first, party second. Not in many decades has that vigilance been required as it is required now.
Your hand may hesitate to put a mark beside the name, Hillary Clinton. You’re not doing it for her. The vote you cast is for the republic and the Constitution.
But of course, as this is from David Frum, you know how freep is going to react.

Frum actually claims to support reducing immigration levels, and has written good articles in the past ably arguing for a reduction. He claims in this article to “more or less” agree with Trump on immigration.
But clearly he’s either lying in that claim or the issue really doesn’t mean anything to him. Hillary has vowed to massively increase refugee admissions, and she supports Gang of Eight style legislative reform which would massively increase already excessive levels of immigration.
Frum is either an idiot or a phony.

From Universities work to purge male students of their ‘toxic’ masculinity posted by freeper rktman
The article is lovely right wing pseudo-clickbait wrapped up in a US flag woven from pure anti-feminist outrage. Toxic masculinity is a real thing, and it has a number of thematic similarities to the purity test echo chamber mindset of freep. It's the kind that tells you that you aren't a real man if you talk about your emotions, or if you admit you're in pain, or if you aren't tall with a perfect body, or if you aren't a domineering rear end in a top hat to others, or if you don't walk around with a sense of false bravado, etc, etc. Unfortunately the nuances of what's toxic about some things society considers masculine get completely lost under the label, so it's really easy for people that don't understand it to hate it immediately because it can easily be painted as "all masculinity is toxic."

It's toxic, all right, doctrinaire, totalitarian, and about as fascist as you can get without wearing a snazzy brown uniform. This is hate propaganda, designed to humiliate and marginalize. Its proponents are no more interested in living with normal men as the Nazis were with coexisting with their own victim classes.

From Yes, Highlights [for Children] Is Going Gay posted by freeper Mrs. Don-o
Emphasis added
a letter in the lovely, lovely article posted:Dear [Name],
Thank you for your message, and I’m sorry that we were slow to respond.
Although I see that you have already canceled your subscription, I thought it still important to answer your questions about what Highlights means when we say we plan to be more fully reflective of all families, including families with same-sex parents.
As you know, Highlights publications focus on kids. We are general interest magazines, and we publish fiction and nonfiction of all types, as well as games, puzzles, jokes, and crafts. Our target audience is kids under the age of 12, most under the age of 8 or 9.
The themes we cover in our magazines are broad and universal—relatable to children trying to navigate childhood. Because children are our focus, we rarely show a full family in our illustrations, instead focusing on showing the child the reader relates to. When a parent is shown or integrated in a story, it is frequently just one parent because a good 800-word children’s story cannot support too many different characters.
When we do show families in the magazines, we make it a point to include diversity. We strive to be diverse in every way. The goal, however, is not to specifically call attention to diversity but instead to help kids understand that while differences exist, we are all actually more alike than different. For instance, from time to time we show families headed up by a grandparent or single parents. We show adoptive families, blended families, multi-generational families, and multi-racial families. In the future, we will depict same-sex families in our magazines in a manner consistent to the way all diverse families are depicted. This is in support of our mission to help children become their best selves and understand that all families, including theirs, are important.
We’re sorry to lose you as a subscriber, but I hope this email helps to clarify our position.
Sincerely,
Christine Cully

The sad thing is that their shrinking list of subscribers will continue to shrink, thus hastening the magazine's demise. When a company caters to the squeaky wheels of the world, they lose their core customers and do not gain enough from the complainers to offset the loss. They would have done well to continue as they have been, showing a "normal" parent and letting the reader decide if said parent was gay.

Going gay is the quickest way to put themselves out of business, guaranteed. If they updated their look a bit but maintained a strong traditional message, sales would increase.
There IS a way to promote an anti-bullying message to children (i. e. it’s just not nice to pick on others who are different, how would you feel?) without caving in to the Gaystapo-—the worst bullies of all-—and normalizing pedophilia.

And now, some election night parallel universe fanfiction.
quote:To: Scythian_Reborn
After the results for the states in the Easter Time Zone report and Trump carries ME and NH, I will make a cup of warm chocolate.
The rest of the Idiot States of RI, MA, CT, and VT will be called for Clinton. (I was born in one of those states and was stationed in another of them. I migrated to TX because I was tired of dealing with idiots who thought living within 25 miles of Harvard somehow made the geniuses.)
When NY, NC, OH are declared too close to call and PA has Trump up, I will continue sipping.
When MD is too close to call and GA goes for Trump, I will have another sip.
As the states in the Central Time Zone begin to report, I will smile and sip when Trump wins FL in a landslide.
The South (KY, WV, TN, AR, AL, MS, and LA) goes Trump, I will finish my first cup of warm chocolate and make another.
MI, WI, IA, and MI will be called too close to call. IL will be called for Clinton. We will be reminted that NY is still too close to call.
The Great Plains states (ND, SD, NE, KS, OK, and TX) will all go heavily Trump.
As I sip chocolate, I will click over to the Clinton sNews Network to watch Rachel Madcow pick a fight with Tingle Leg when she hears NY, NC, MD all went for Trump. She hits old Tingle Leg in the face with her fist. Old Tingle Leg announced, “Madcow, I have never hit a woman before!” He decks her, turns to the camera, and announced, “And I have still not hit a woman! She is better endowed than Ant-Knee Weiner. Rachel is really Michael. She is as big a fraud as Hillary.”
I click back to One America News Network which has breaking news: HILLARY CLINTON, HUMA ABEDIN ARRESTS FOR FRAUD, MONEY LAUNDERING, AND ESPIONAGE!
I calmly finish my chocolate and unlock the liquor cabinet.
I hear a series of single gunshots. I open my gun safe and take out some protection. Then I realize it is my neighbors who have the “I’m with Her” bumper stickers trying to blow their brains out. I talk to the police who have responded. One says, “She shot herself four times in the head and is still conscious.” I nod and tell the police to drop by after their shift ends for a drink.

This actually does make me wonder: what happens in a presidential election if one of the candidates dies or is arrested before voting begins, or before the votes are counted? Does the election automatically go to the next highest candidate? Does the party get to emergency nominate a new candidate, and if this occurs after early voting begins do those votes get to be re-done?
I'm just curious about what would really happen if the Freep fantasy of Hillary being arrested tomorrow for treason was to come true. Or if Trump was to work himself up into a fatal heart attack out of rage.

If HRC died/withdrew before Nov 8th, the DNC would call an emergency meeting to select a new nominee. Once one gets picked, it's tricky, as individual states have their own laws regarding how to get the new nominee on the ballot. Some would reprint ballots, some would just treat all HRC votes as votes for the new nominee, and some would be assholes about it.
If HRC died/withdrew after Nov 8th, but before the Electoral College votes in December: Less tricky than the above, but also less certain. At that point, it's up to the electoral college to decide what to do, and each state has different laws regarding what their electors can/should/must do.
If it happens after the Electoral College votes in December: The only easy case. Kaine becomes the new President-elect; a special session of the DNC is called to select the new VP.

I like how even if their hosed up reality was true, where roaming blacks are murdering pure innocent white people all over the country, the idea of a random white guy being bad is just inconceivable.
It's great how they all give this dude the benefit of the doubt saying he didn't do nothing before all this.
The guy saying that he suddenly wondered why everyone assumed this guy did it, without any real proof, had killed me with irony.
 me.
What gets me is that they seemed so excited to have another reason to spew their usual hatred of all darker than milk, but then immediately seemed to short circuit when him being their kind of white trash came out. "How could a white guy ever do anything violent?" "Why is the media talking about crazy white guys so much" they ask when they demand every white man be armed and call for genocide on a regular basis. They have no idea how to handle it when this guy came up so they spew a variety of excuses to avoid ever having to *gulp* learn form something.
From Universities work to purge male students of their ‘toxic’ masculinity posted by freeper rktman
The article is lovely right wing pseudo-clickbait wrapped up in a US flag woven from pure anti-feminist outrage. Toxic masculinity is a real thing, and it has a number of thematic similarities to the purity test echo chamber mindset of freep. It's the kind that tells you that you aren't a real man if you talk about your emotions, or if you admit you're in pain, or if you aren't tall with a perfect body, or if you aren't a domineering rear end in a top hat to others, or if you don't walk around with a sense of false bravado, etc, etc. Unfortunately the nuances of what's toxic about some things society considers masculine get completely lost under the label, so it's really easy for people that don't understand it to hate it immediately because it can easily be painted as "all masculinity is toxic."
Old white men who go on perpetual tirades about how everything scares them deciding they can lecture anyone on masculinity is always hilarious.

Hell, found myself tearing up earlier watching a Sainsbury commercial
I'm not sure where these assumptions come from. Most of the states that he insists will be too close to call are soft to moderate blue this year, and under no circumstance will Maryland or New York go for Trump.
Hillary then sweeps the states never declared here and rushes past 270. 1000 (more) years of Liberal Darkness.

Same. They see an example of someone actually sticking to those conservative principles they rant about and reject it out of hand because it doesn't kiss up to their hateful demagogue or hurt everyone else enough.

Has there been any mention of the Des Moines woman who got arrested for voter fraud? Voted for Trump twice and claimed the elections are rigged.

I loved it because it's also a good example of voter fraud that's not solved by voter id.

The reaction will be simple
"Oh, so authorities IGNORE the rampant voter fraud of the democrats, but the second a republican casts two ballots the knives are out."

Also it was totally a false flag and she was a secret Democrat trying to make Republicans look bad.
Also you know if the 19th Amendment was repealed she wouldn't have been able to do that just saying.

From 'Coffee should not come with political brainwashing!' Anger at Starbucks over green 'unity' cups... posted by freeper rickmichaels
It's from the Daily Mail because of course it is.
the excerpt posted:An attempt by Starbucks to unify the country ahead of Election Day with a green coffee cup has backfired after angry customers threatened to boycott the chain.
The company said the cups - which were unveiled on Tuesday and feature a drawing of more than 100 people drawn with one line - were intended to remind Americans of their 'shared values' at a 'divisive time in our country'.
But the move appears to have angered rather than united customers. Some thought it had replaced the company's traditional red Christmas drinking vessels, while others accused the brand of pushing a political agenda.
So this is the cup in question.
So, boring and artsy and not at all holiday-like, so clearly the conservatives will hate it. As if that's going to stop me from ordering my venti nonfat no whip white chocolate mocha 'beetus.
Every post is this one so far, but this is the most freepy.

Haven’t set foot into a Starbucks in years. They crossed the line into politics...and I am a man of my world. If Christians would stop putting coffee over God they would have to close shop here in Texas.

There are many places one can get good coffee without a political statement. Easy to find those places too.
Hate to say, but probably most of the artisanal coffee places are just as liberal, if not weirder. At least here in New York. Nature of the beast, maybe.
I buy my coffee from some Orthodox Jews who started their own roasting company. Lately I've been avoiding a lot of places that attract hipsters like cats to catnip.

Dammit, we do not have “shared values”. The US is a deeply divided nation. The question is, which values are moral, right, and in keeping with the Judeo-Christian foundational principles of the nation.

quote:To: rickmichaels
What are our shared values, I wonder? I don’t feel like we have any.
I feel we are a nation deeply divided.
The last time I felt somewhat unified as a nation was after 9/11. It seemed like we recognized a common enemy, came together, looked out for each other, supported our military/law enforcement/first responders, desired to work together to protect ourselves. . .
I was either wrong, or it was short-lived.

I fear they're right. I'm not sure what shared values I actually have with the average freeper. I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with that.

Much to my shock and disbelief, it's a real enough word that Google can define it. Noun, informal, derogatory: an education administrator.
Wiktionary gives credit as an early use of it to ... Laura Ingraham.

I always wonder who they think they're including with the 'judaeo' bit
I mean, I went to synagogue for like 15 years and I can't think of a single Jewish founding father. I'm pretty sure that would have come up during Hebrew School, we talked about famous Jews in history.
(Spoilers: Maimonides was the best one)
It's a half hearted attempt to include Jews as "one of the good ones" since open anti semitism is a lot harder to get away with now.
They could just say Abrahamic values but that'd include Islam sooooo

I'm sure a few of them do, but they almost certainly hate it due to the fact it causes Islam to be included with Christianity. That, and even the slightest implication that Islam and Christianity have the same God is sure to upset them. "Abraham didn't worship no moon god!"

Self-righteous hatred and excusing any behavior of all who claim to be believers are the core of modern evangelicalism.
