Compared to all the other dumb poo poo he says constantly, I actually don't think saying that there's going to be a metaphorical bloodbath in the auto industry unless he's elected is a big deal, even if it's not true.

e: I don't know what the actual quote is but if he just said bloodbath without context it's a little more understandable that people would jump on it

Ummmmmm.

Also, cool that Rivers goes on about "distorting the quote" and then literally made up those words. Trump did not say "It's going to be a bloodbath for the auto industry". He was talking about car manufacturers during parts of the speech, yes, but the quote was "It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it."

It's all right, I'll cover for you just this once.


quote:

A SLAP ON THE FANNY FOR FANI

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee announced his ruling in the case of Fani Willis (DA of Fulton County) and her boyfriend, Nathan Wade (prosecutor in the Trump case). Despite obvious perjury and significant misconduct, the judge issued an extremely lenient finding: Either Fani or her boyfriend must go. One or the other. Naturally Fani accepted the prosecutor’s resignation, because if she resigned it could result in the delay of the case against Trump.

The judge is up for re-election and so naturally he wanted to placate his mostly Democrat and Trump-hating voter base. Going after Trump is the prime directive among Democrats and it matters little to them if justice is compromised. He is also a former employee of Fani Willis and donated to her campaign, shocker right?

All of the cases against Trump amount to election interference. Democrats are more than willing to abuse the justice system in order to prevent his re-election. It’s pathetic and sad, but if we have corrupt individuals running the show, corruption is the expected outcome. This especially includes Joe Biden, an arch-criminal who has engaged in crimes including human trafficking by flying countless illegal aliens into the country. That’s against the law, but who cares about the law if one is a Swamp member?

We can only hope that Trump plays hardball during his second term (assuming the election isn’t once again stolen from him). He promised to lock up Hillary, but after he was president he was more forgiving. Forgiving and forgetting is an unsound policy when it comes to the corrupt Democrat Party.

LOCK THEM UP!

— Ben Garrison



quote:

DONNY QUEST

Former Vice President Mike Pence said he’s not endorsing Trump. He self-righteously stated,

“I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United States again,”

Trump never put himself above the Constitution. Pence bought into the ‘insurrectionist’ lie pushed by the globalist Democrats.

Pence is a typical politician—he’s a deal maker. A schmoozer. A go-along and get-along type. Like Mitch McConnell, he wants to be liked and in the end, he has become the kind of politician he should be fighting. Pence has endlessly and pompously claimed his love for Jesus, but he has behaved more like Judas.

The Democrats stole the election through election fraud. Plain and simple. Pence did not support Trump during the crisis—he sided with the Deep State Swamp establishment, and now he’s not even voting for Trump, making his backstab complete.

Trump was not a politician when he got elected for his first term. Perhaps it’s one of the reasons he was elected—he was definitely not part of the political establishment. Trump wanted to get the job done, but the politicians he chose to work with him were mostly all like Pence—conniving backstabbers who were part of the Swamp.

Let’s hope Trump has learned his lesson. His next VP had better be more loyal than the white-haired double-crosser.

— Ben Garrison



quote:

THE DEMOCRAT’S LIE BATH

he Democrat Party’s propaganda media once again reported news that was a bald faced lie. They claimed that that Trump said there would be a bloodbath if he’s not re-elected. In fact, he said the US auto industry would face a bloodbath if he’s not re-elected. Biden’s Green New Deal would spell the end of the gasoline powered engines of the US auto industry and destroy countless jobs—an economic ‘bloodbath.’

The usual media liars such as NBC News and CNN ran with the obvious lie, thereby spreading misinformation across the internet and the broadcast airwaves. It was a coordinated effort by the Democrat legacy media to smear and demean President Trump.

[screenshot cut]

Fortunately, on Elon Musk’s X, (formally Twitter) the liars were called out and fact checked in real time as they screamed ‘bloodbath’ from their media perches. “Trump wants a bloodbath! Trump is threatening the country with violence!”

The funny thing was, the media used the exact same word, ‘bloodbath,’ to describe the firings at the RNC. If the media didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all!

“Bloodbath at RNC: Trump team slashes staff at committee”

—Politico

“Absolute bloodbath at RNC as new leadership loyal to Trump purges staff”

—The Guardian

You get the picture. Another dirty smear by the Marxist Democrat-controlled media.

The Democrats are desperate—and they’re playing dirty. They stink and need a bath.

Sure but also why are you referencing Johnny Quest in Anno Domotherfucker 2024.

I had to explain that reference to people my age when The Venture Bros. did it 15 years ago.

Also the kid’s name was Hadji, which is pretty yikes in retrospect. I mean, all of it is pretty yikes but I don’t think about Johnny Quest that often these days, see above.

I live in New York City, where many homeless people rely on panhandling in order to get by. A few days ago I saw a Millennial woman turn down a request from a homeless man, saying, “I don’t carry cash.” I have long been concerned about the ramifications of our increasingly cashless society, like the ability of the government to lock down our bank accounts and ability to move freely. As usual, the poorest among us are paying the biggest price for what we’ve been told is progress.
