That short gap in time before anyone knows anything but everyone is listening: that's the entire realm of the grift.

    I know Knowledge Fight calls it the wet cement time period. Grifters like Jones and the whole GOP spew as many lies as possible to benefit their side until it dries, and then they don't often discuss the truth so the old set lies continue to dwell in people's heads.

    "They won't leave us in peace"

    ... to fuck us over and plunder all the wealth?

    This is the "if you won't treat me as an authority, I won't treat you as a person" all over again.

    "THIS TIME IT'S WAR!" Said the keyboard warriors and dregs of human civilization... as they sat safely behind their screens like real men.
    Some were so manly and tough that they hired bodyguards to protect themselves.

    Shouldn't Andrew Tate be busy raping young slave women instead of screeching civil war?

    Lol a Nazi sympathizer and a literal human trafficer have opinions and support far right conservatives. I don't know about the other two, never heard of them.

    What is this time line!

    I thought Elon was doing his own party now. Who is “us”?

  • Apparently he was in the U.K. saying they needed to dissolve parliament, so.. I guess anyone, anywhere who will give him power to rule over them.

    Seems pretty evident he has no loyalty to South Africa or the U.S.... so why anyone would give him the time of day to listen is beyond me.

    Let's go MAGA civil war. Would love to see Trump's coalition fall apart.

    Just a reminder that hypocritical Republicans are still planning for "war".

    They're literally in the cesspool of Reddit and community forums trying desperately to justify political violence. He went to college. Literally one semester in Utah mind you. He has a trans roommate, therefore he's left. With no evidence again mind you.

    Oh they're still planning and salivating for "retribution" against the left.

    And big ol' reminders that when the violence from the right comes, the "left" they go after won't be white people, it'll be directly aimed at minorities, Blacks probably the hardest because even when the violent right knew the suspect was white, the first guy arrested was an old white dude, they still called in death threats to HBCUs.

    Remember 2A isn't just for racist Republicans and a assasinated by Republicans Charlie Kirk there minority Americans. Stay safe.

    Shouldn't Andrew Taint be on the hunt for the little people who stole his precious?

    A lie can make it halfway 'round the world before the truth has got its boots on.

    A famous aphorism, which, ironically, is actually somewhat difficult to nail down attribution to a specific originator, due to essentially similar sentiment and phrasing being used by fairly notable people... for hundreds, or thousands of years.

    My ancestors didn't deal with Nazis by voting them to go away, or having civil convos with them. They fucking blew up their factories!

  • Yeah, well, MY ancestors dealt with nazis by giving them all favorable business deals or jobs with the government and industry and probably also blowing them, and that seems to have turned out just fine in ways that have no bearing on any current situation, so why don't we accept that that different cultures can have different equally valid ways of addressing problems?
