black and safe in a red state?

where exactly did she think they were doing voter registration purges the most?

 

[the bossman]

no GOP or right-wing party officials believe this. you don't engage in voter suppression for over 30 years, fake elector schemes, gerrymandering districts and throwing millions of people off voter rolls annually if you believe you are the majority.

republicans admit all the time if more people vote they lose elections.



black folks need to vote more.

Basically it's all about the turnout

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Someone needs to bring this up every single time anyone on Trump's team accuses the Democrats of inciting violence.

Well it took historically Blue State like Michigan and Wisconsin to go red in 2016 in order for Trump to win. So you have to look at both sides of that coin, because in 2020 those 2 States flipped back Blue and Trump lost. Another thing to keep in mind is that Biden got 306 electoral votes in 2020, so even if Georgia's 16 electoral votes flipped back to Trump then Harris would still win the Presidency with 290 electoral votes if the other States hold. Don't get it twisted either. Georgia will still likely go to Harris, because the Republicans in Georgia, including the Governor, can't stand Trump. They are not going to vote for Harris, but don't assume that they are going to vote for Trump.

Man I been working doing some driving recently, EVERY house in Oakland and Macomb county has a Harris sign. Democrats have won Wayne county like 50 years straight so that ain't a problem.

Oakland county is weird ASF because it was the richest country in America in the early 2000's while Wayne was the poorest. But Oakland currently is a heavy ass Democrat county. It's cities in Oakland that has nothing but mansions, multiple ones. Nothing but beautiful ass houses in Oakland and a couple of majority black cities like Oak Park that's nice in parts and hood in a few parts.

I see nothing but Harris signs in the rich areas. Every big ass house with a political advertisement is a Harris sign. Oakland county be holding shyt down low key.

fukking Macomb (where I live now) is flip floppy as hell. They went Trump in 16 then went heavily Biden in 20.

 

[Lord Beasley]

MF numbers dropping? Hire an ooter to ignite the base. shyt JD already said they'll make up shyt to gets folks looking in the right direction

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Has Kamala even mentioned this?

Man who allegedly tried to assassinate Donald Trump at Florida golf club named. Who is he?​

Ryan Routh via Facebook

The man accused of hiding in the bushes with an AK-47 and trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump at his South Florida golf club is a former roofer whose criminal history includes barricading himself with a weapon at the company’s facility in North Carolina more than two decades ago.

Law enforcement sources told the Miami Herald on Sunday evening that the man in custody is 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh. Around 1 p.m., deputies and agents found an AK-47 with a scope as well as two backpacks and a GoPro in bushes just outside Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach.

The shooting comes months after Trump was grazed by a bullet in an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Routh, sources say, is facing federal charges after he was detained along Interstate 95.

What we know about the alleged attempted assassin:

Ryan Routh isn’t from Florida​

It doesn’t appear that Routh has ties to Florida.

According to public records, Routh is originally from North Carolina. He attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University where, according to his LinkedIn, he studied mechanical engineering.

Since 2018, Routh has lived in Hawaii. On the island, he opened Camp Box Honolulu, in which he used his construction experience to “build simple economical structures to help address the highest homelessness rate in the United States due to unparalleled gentrification,” according to his LinkedIn profile.

He’s an unaffiliated voter​

Routh remains listed an active unaffiliated voter in North Carolina, according The News & Observer, a McClatchy publication in North Carolina.

As unaffiliated voters can choose which primary they want to vote in the state, Routh voted in the Democratic primary when he cast a ballot this spring.

Was he a Trump supporter?​

Routh, according to the New York Post and archives of his X account, said he voted for Trump in 2016.

“I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving; are you retarded; I will be glad when you gone,” Routh posted.

Previous run-ins with the law​

In 2010, Routh was sentenced to prison time on three counts of felony possession of stolen goods and probation for one misdemeanor count of the same crime, according to the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction website.

A Dec. 16, 2002 story in The News & Record, a newspaper in Greensboro, North Carolina, reported that Routh was arrested after drivingfrom a 10 p.m. traffic stop and barricading himself with a fully automatic machine gun inside United Roofing, where public records say Routh worked. He would be arrested three hours later.

Misdemeanor charges of carrying a concealed weapon, driving with a revoked driver’s license and resisting an officer were combined during his sentencing with other charges levied against him from 2001 and 2002: five other counts of driving with a revoked license; two other counts of carrying a concealed weapon; misdemeanor hit and run; and other “miscellaneous motor vehicle violations.”

Did he volunteer to fight in Ukraine war?​

In 2023, Routh told the New York Timeshe spent several months in Ukraine amid the war with Russia. He also said he had tried recruiting Afghan soldiers who opposed the Taliban to fight in Ukraine.

Update: Nicky Jam deletes post supporting Trump, disables comments on last post, after Maná removes their collab in wake of endorsement. Even I’m surprised how hard they’re going at him in comments section of his second to last post

Screenshot of what his post looked like before deletion. He made light in Spanish of Trump mistaking him for a woman musician and calling him hot. Criticism has poured on from fans and Latinos who thought he was above a Trump endorsement.

Trump supporters are oblivious to the fact that the rest of humanity despises that abhorrent POS. They live in an echo chamber that reinforces their delusions that trump is a good Christian man who loves our country. Because of this, they think everyone loves him.

I detest Trump but shouldn't people be allowed to endorse who they want?

@NaughtyAgatha45
About that. I’ve been puzzled about why Donald thought Nicky Jam is a woman.

Well, he does know someone else with an identical sounding name: Nikki Haley.

Did Donald combine Nicky Jam with Nikki Haley and decide that this person walking onto the stage must be a woman? A HOT woman?

Haitian migrants began arriving in Springfield in 2018 when Trump was President.

@mortenbc58
And nobody "dropped" them. They simply moved there with the opportunity of jobs and housing

Exactly, and by many accounts, they revitalized a declining city.

According to the census, there are only about 5000 Haitians in all of Ohio.

@CrazyFenaker
And crime, property and violent crime, in Springfield was actually worse in the early 2010s than after the Haitians arrived. Blaming them for a high crime rate in a dying rustbelt city is insanely misleading.

Yeah, when they started that bullshyt I noticed several articles say they settled here about 5 years ago and then I noticed no MAGA apparently did the math on that lol.

@ColoradoCD4
There are also only 5K of them in all of Ohio, a house of cards:

[Quoted tweet]
Far-right movements have been using Springfield, Ohio as a propaganda tool since early 2023.

There aren’t 20,000 Haitian immigrants there
in fact, there are barely 5,000 in the entire state.

The level of cognitive dissonance required for this narrative is staggering.
