‘’ Black maga vs white maga. Guess who the cop tackled first?‘’

 

’’ Someday, a young grandchild will find a red MAGA hat packed away in an attic among the many possessions that once belonged to a grandparent... and they will look upon it with the same shame, loathing, utter humiliation and abhorrent disgust, as any of us would have... had we found a Nazi flag, or a white hood tucked away within the most personal possessions of our grandparents...‘’

The Nazi flag and white hoods are both Socialist icons, straight out of left-wing politics. Socialism, which is the single most destructive political ideology this world has seen, which the Democrat candidate and her running mate have long espoused as their core ideology, and an ideology you appear to support.

 

And if you believe that the idea of Making America Great Again, hearkening back to a time when the U.S. led the world in industry, technical innovation, quality of life and education, is a bad thing, then you are part of the problem with this country, not part of the solution.

Right…but what era or decade does that actually refer to? Pick a time, so I can understand what you are longing to return to..

the Republican candidate for president has been saying : 

 

Last month in Wisconsin: “They will walk into your kitchen,” Mr. Trump said of undocumented immigrants. “They’ll cut your throat.” Later, he called the same people “animals.”

 

This week in Scranton, Pa., he claimed (impossibly) that he would pay off the national debt despite his promises of massive tax breaks and new expenditures. 
 

After sniping at “stupid” Mitt Romney,…

 

Ms. Harris, he claimed, is a “radical left Marxist” — a tame attack in comparison with another contention: that she was born “mentally impaired.”

 

In Reading, Pa., he called “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg “demented” as well as “filthy dirty, disgusting.”

 

Then there is Mr. Trump’s latest crusade, to re-rename North Carolina’s Fort Liberty by dubbing it Fort Bragg once more, so that the base will again honor a Confederate general. This reignites a fight he waged as president, when he vetoed a bipartisan military spending bill over the issue — and saw that veto, also in bipartisan fashion, overridden.

 

On Thursday at the Detroit Economic Club, he returned to the matter of immigrants: “We allowed them to come in and raid and rape our country. ‘Oh, he used the word rape.’ That’s right, I used the word rape. They raped our country.”

 

To conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt, he conjured a fantastical statistic on global warming: “The ocean will rise one-eighth of an inch in the next 500 years.” 
 

In the same conversation, he embraced discredited theories of eugenics. Returning to the theme of illegal immigration, he again called immigrants murderers — asserting that “it’s in their genes.” He continued, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”

 

On Fox News, he insisted: “They’re being treated very badly in the Republican areas. They’re not getting water, they’re not getting anything.” Elsewhere, he declared that “Kamala spent all her FEMA money, billions of dollars, on housing for” — you guessed it — “illegal migrants.”
These allegations of a politically motivated emergency response are false, but they have discouraged people in need of aid from going to the agency for help.

 

(And, as it turns out, Politico reports, it was Mr. Trump who as president hesitated to give disaster relief to blue parts of the country.)

Why would you want to fixate on a point in history? The goals are what we should strive for, not return to.

 

If we are not learning from the past, then we are doomed to repeat it.

I'm wondering if my confederate flag falls into that category.

Was your “harkening back to a time…” just waxing poetic then ?😂

Pres. Trump is to be taken seriously, not literally.

Doing the converse is the biggest and most consistent mistake made by leftists, Democrats, et al.

Um, pardon, but have any of you neurologists listened to the Republican nominee for president lately? 

 

Try this on: “Your kid goes to school and he comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child. And many of these childs, 15 years later say, what the hell happened? Who did this to me? They say, who did this to me? It’s incredible.” 
 

That was Donald John Trump speaking at a Moms for Liberty event, and apparently explaining his belief that schools are performing gender reassignment surgeries on “childs,” who are also apparently spending multiple days at their schools without returning home. You know, totally possible stuff that could definitely happen.

Should there be a minimum IQ level, say double digits

A disturbing new report from Pregnancy Justice reveals that more than 200 pregnant women have been prosecuted since the overturning of Roe, marking the highest number of cases recorded in a single year since 1973. Several states have already granted legal rights to fetuses and embryos, as anti-abortion advocates play the long game, aiming for national recognition of fetal personhood—and the eventual outlawing of abortion altogether. “The idea is to say, [that] the Supreme Court isn’t ready to say that a fetus has constitutional rights– but what we’re going to do is build the case prosecution by prostitution, law by law," explains Mary Ziegler, a law professor and historian at UC Davis Law School.”

She's joined the fight between Bidementia, Kommie, and Timpon for the one functioning brain cell among them.

More prosaic than poetic 😉

All things change…including language . 😂

 

English speakers started using prosaic to refer to anything considered matter-of-fact or ordinary, and they gradually transformed it into a synonym for "colorless," "drab," "lifeless," and "lackluster."
