You will notice Grasshopper, the Zooter works wonders too!!
Two wickets in two balls.
Even fooled the umpire!!

Looks like Arizona elections may not get certified!!

Looks like Musk may have sprung a trap the botters!!

There is going to be a hell load of more rightwing hate rhetoric in the next couple of years and a hell load of more shootings on the regular in USA as Republicans with big mouths look for donors to run in 2024 elections.
Trump tapped into a rich vein in the darkside of USA and has cut the femoral artery main blood vessel supplying blood to the lower body.
There is no turning back even when/if Trump gets busted by Feds.
Annie get your gun. -
Republicans are prolife and support restrictions on abortion.
Common sense would indicate that it is far more likely for a Democrat to be instigators of hate crimes as they want unrestricted abortion and the right to kill a child when it is actually been born.
Democrats are wicked, hateful sons of butches.
Here is what the Democrats want.
The cult of Baal.

This is very interesting!!

Remember this from 2016.
.. from the mouth of the high priestess of the Cult of Baal.
Thank God for Trump.

This is interesting, a bit about Baal.

Rise and Fall of the Far Right
Keep your Trump Bannon Farage white privilege bullshit corruptions to democracy and power. The populism of racism fascism isn’t popular.
Trump Version 2.0 will have to be more extreme loathsome and repugnant to gain traction after rejections in 2020 and 2022. -
By definition, Fascism cannot exist on the right, only on the left.
Both Mussolini (its inventor) and Hitler were left wing socialists who went further left with Fascism.

Comical.
Now the J6 Committee which no one takes seriously has sprung a serious leak.
Like the compromised FBI, whistle blowers are coming forward to undermine its credibility even further.

I see my girl Marjorie Taylor Greene is back on Twitter after a 10 month ban.
People been thirsting for content from her.
She won reelection by a 2 to 1 margin.
She and Bobert will should keep the Republicans feet to the fire and be the bane of Democrats who have tried everything to put them down.
-
Of these two, it would appear as though MTG incites the most fear in Democrats.
Looks like she will give them hell and they are scared.
-
I see Rachael Madcow got legal problems!!
Seems she more or less admits she is a purveyor of fake news!!
-
CNN, the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party is in a spot of bother.
-
Looks like the Chief Twit is releasing Twitter Files implicating the Government in nefarious unconstitutional activities against Donald Trump.
Can’t call them Twitter Leaks like Wiki Leaks.
-
Trump in his element.
Calling 2020 elections false and fraudulent and looking to have them overturned.
Wonder what will happen with the J6 Committee?
-
The mainstream driveby media gone silent!!
Hoping it will all go away!!

@John
What became of the other member of the tag team?
I saw that you put up the bat light but Batman did not come.
Hoping that both of you are in fine health. -
Grasshopper
Saw GP on another thread recently using a different moniker, atleast that was what some other blogger claimed, I could be wrong.
This thread is old so I periodically visit it and make comments for two reasons.
First to preserve interesting links I come across for future reference and second to see who will follow me to such an old thread.
Most others are satisfied to berate me elsewhere.

Grasshopper
Looks like Arizona getting interesting!!
-
Trump like he real popular!!
Evabody endorsing him.
-
Lord haveth mercy.
The more trouble people make for Trump the more popular he becomes.
God sure smiles on this guy.

A big blow for the orange crew.

-
Even the Democrats are endorsing Trump!!
-
This may help understand Georgia.

We are watching a rebirth of the Republican Party from one dominated by RINOS to one driven by “we the people”.
The problems have been identified and are being solved.

..BREAKING NEWS..
O Midterm Done and Dusted 1 month ago
O Batman is dead
O New Bu thread: What happened to democratic debate? -
@David, really no bigger blow for the orange crew than it can handle!
If one looks at the Walker/Warnock race with the most benign view-finder it’s actually possible to consider Walker as a quite ‘impressive’ loser … but of course in this political battle – just as with his professional sports life – ALMOST getting a touch-down is meaningless!
But if one considers the scandalous details made public about Walker and he STILL ran Warnock to a 3 points difference then it should be obvious that had a less divisive candidate been on the ballot the results would have been very different!
Obvious because Repubs won ALL the other state-wide offices by no less than 5 points
So clearly the orange crew boss CREATED this debacle for the Repub party … so he can man-up and handle the blowback!🤣😎🤣!
As noted before … there is NO WAY this orange crew boss-man is the nominee for his party in 2024 … that would just make no practical sense!
-
I try not to comment on US politics but I would say that the normal rules do not apply.
The election of BO came as a surprise to many
The election of DT came as a surprise to many more
That our democracy is fragile and is hanging by a thread surprised many of us.
HW with his many flaws and being undercut by leading Republicans gave Warnock a surprising run for his money.Would not place any bet on the future of DT. Would not write him off as he may yet again surprise us.

Trump Organization is found guilty of tax fraud
and DoJ is seeking to hold Trump Team in contempt of Court over classified documents
But, US Judiciary is as bent as a LBGTQ spectrum
The question is not Trump but racist White AmeriKKKa
50% are racist white scum
and the remaining 50% are still 50% racist inside
who can be triggered and flipped
2016 Trump vote 62,984,828
2020 Trump vote 74,223,975
Nice ’N’ Sleazy / The Stranglers
We came across the west sea
We didn’t have much idea of the
Kind of climate waiting
We used our hands for guidance
Like the children of a preacher
Like a dry tree seeking water
Or a daughter

An angel came from outside
Had no halo had no father
With a coat of many colours
He spoke of brothers many
Wine and women song a plenty
He began to write a chapter
In history
Nice ‘n’ sleazy

The English is a revisionist western drama television series that takes the core themes of identity and revenge a glorious new take on the old west – a lawless land where no one can hear you

@Dub, very often the numbers are quite clear … YES, it’s “Nice ‘n’ sleazy” that in 2016 Mr.45 got 62,984,828 and
in 2020 74,223,975, as you noted.But very clearly over 65 million voted AGAINST him in 2016 and in 2020 over 82 million did the same!
So no doubt there are millions of racist, sexist, white-supremacists “who can be triggered and flipped” – as they were – to fight a civil war for the ‘soul’ of their country but we must also remember the millions who also took up arms (and will again) to resist their brethren!
It’s certainly not ideal nor desired but it’s real and thus far thankfully the resistance has been peaceful and successful!

@Dee Word
Opinion on the prisoner swap? Does this make it open season in US citizens working in foreign lands?

No @David, it does NOT!
I am actually amazed at the negatives used by the Republicans and others (like the former DEA agent who allegedly helped imprison the Russian arms-dealer).
Over the years there have been these types of very, very difficult swaps from time to time … it’s NEVER a happy moment for those in law enforcement as generally the political establishment break all judicious reasonings in order to gain ‘populous points’ … but the circumstances are generally worth the geopolitical wagering (to some degree)!
This is absolutely no different! Any terrorist’s group or state that wants to play ‘Doom’ games with the US still will REGARDLESS of what happened here … and as surely the US will ‘smack’ them as they see fit (as Russia or Iran do with their respective ‘doom’ geopolitical play-mates)!
The family of Mr Whelan can truly feel aggrieved as now his case goes on a back burner to simmer and he may well spend many a year behind bars …
but his story is an VERY interesting one (I am NOT familiar enough to deep dive) … yet as reports go the former Marine with his multiple citizen nationalities unfortunately very closely fits the profile as the intel operative as he is alleged to be. That is a diplomatic never-never land and to wade into that uninformed is a ‘nonsense’!
This Griner swap should in NO WAY endanger US or Canadian or Brit citizens around the world … it’s what it was, fueled by spectacular war and a very obvious public relations spectacle by Vlad Putin.
Let the intrigue and geopolitical shenanigans now continue anew!🤦♂️😒
Lata.

I was somewhat surprised that many Americans had a negative view of Griner’s release.
Explanations will be provided, the reactions will be justified, but one thing to keep in mind … race is often what drives discussion in the US and quite often ‘very good people’ buy and then sell the explanations.

Agree with you Dee Word. One is left speculate why a man with multiple tours to Iraq etc would court Russia so close re visits, contributing to Russian social media sites and so on.

Good!

Looks like at least one Democrat senator realizes she has a biiiiig problem in 2024!!
Sinema has left them and identified as an independent.
She says she will caucus with neither party!!!
Is this a sign that they are imploding?

Can you imagine if that idiot woman had arrived in Singapore with her marijuana?
Ten years imprisonment.
Russia is far more lenient.

I see Elon Musk is now going in for pronouns too.
His are Prosecute/Faucci!!

Fauci’s daughter works/worked at Twitter!!
… like the FBI lawyer who oversaw the Russian hoax!!

@John
“Can you imagine if that idiot woman had arrived in Singapore with her marijuana?”Once when explaining the facts of life to my son, he acted as if he would be celibate all of his life. I stopped listening to him and just deliver messages when he is travelling.
“Please bear in mind that you will be outside of the US.
We have crazy laws here, but some places are even crazier. If you are going to use drugs, be careful and sensible”.If he was going to the far East, I would give him a sterner message.

“Is this a sign that they are imploding?”
And I thought you were a mathematician/engineer
1 is an implosion
2 is a wave
3 is ?? -
This may help Grasshopper.

Our society in the West Indies collapsed/imploded long ago and continues to do so.
It did not need the perfect marxist storm to make it collapse.
Cricket used to be the main thing that told of a former West Indies, look at it now.
The difference between here and the US is that the US is huge in comparison and can survive the storm the Democrats seeks to visit upon it.
There are too many who do not subscribe to the crap and America has the experience of a successful revolution.
The Democrats are more likely to implode than is America.

Is Google white and racist full of non-humans, hyper-real avatars made with artificial intelligence who are fluent bullshitters.
John’s mind has been corrupted with false white narratives from the wicked whites who are not human.
