“but so incompetent he forgot to do it in his first term.”
They get around that by claiming Trump was stopped from establishing a fascist police state by patriots in the government who worked to block and undermine everything he did. In effect, they’re saying the unelected deep state officials in the CIA and FBI saved democracy in America but this time will be different since he’s already said he’ll get rid of people like this.
Democrats who actually watched the interview are furious because they know it was a big plus for Trump which means it was a big negative for Kamala. Hopefully this will enable Trump to win with a cheat proof majority but then the question is if he will be able to govern a society so severely divided that we no longer even have a common reality.
I hope he and Elon fire about 80% of unelected bureaucrats in the government's alphabet agencies. This time he has to put the right people in the right spots in government. It's going to be glorious I believe.
But the democrats say, and no doubt believe, that Trump plans to do that so that he can get rid of the patriots who oppose him to save democracy in America. They do not consider these people a “deep state.” They consider these people patriots committed to stopping Trump from establishing a fascist police state in America. Do they actually believe that? They sure do.
But what if your boss is “another Hitler”? Would you just follow his orders or resign and end up financially ruined and have to live in a tent in an alley and hope the rats didn’t bite you while you were sleeping?
You are delusional if you think freedoms are synonymous with fascism.
That’s more the province of those who censor, those who deliberately lie, those who will restrict the freedom and rights of people who disagree, those who cause suffering from inflation, those who selectively cry judicial decisions are good when we agree and fascism when we disagree.
Trump will find himself in a perfect Catch 22 situation. If he gets rid of the rot, Democrats will say they warned everyone that Trump would go after his enemies. If he doesn't get rid of the rot, he'll be rewarding and encouraging the same behavior that thwarted him in his first term.
Trump might as well go out with a bang and hopefully do so in such a way that has little to no negative affect on hopeful Vance 2028 & 2032 runs, of course assuming we're all still here and/or the apocalypse has't taken place! Lol.
Nobody cares what the Deep State thinks anymore - they are criminals, and Trump's new AG will be busy sending them to prison for their "patriotism" to the Demunist god Marx.
Everything these progressive -leftist -dems say is the opposite of what’s true, and it’s what they’re planning. This kind of thinking eventually drives a person mad. They- the left- are crazy & desperate. Which makes them even more dangerous.
They believe a lot of stupid things! Not sure which is worse, all the gaslighting, lying, and corruption, or that some actually begin to believe their own lies!
Name 3 accomplishments of the Department of Ed. There are none. The Tenn. Valley Authority was set up 100 years ago to electrify the rural backwoods of the state. Yes, that agency still exists for some reason. I doni't think it's a matter of the "right" or "wrong" people in these agencies. 80% of the agencies, of positions within them, simply need not be.
I'm good with eliminating several agencies. ATF, DOE, Homeland Security, EPA, SEC, Federal Reserve, and probably more, but that's just off the top of my head. Not sure how NPR, PBS, the Ad Council, fit in there, but they need to no longer receive federal money either.
Fascism, like every form of totalitarianism, is decidedly left wing. This is obvious to any sane person simply by reviewing the underlying principles of each party.
Republicans == real / Classical Liberals. Small government, low taxes, individual rights rein supreme, the objective rule of law. It is impossible to build any form of totalitarian government based on these principles.
Democrats == totalitarianism (Marxist flavored in this generation). Big government; crushing taxes; crippling regulations; cataclysmic debt. These principles ALWAYS lead to totalitarianism.
Leftist ideology is, and must always be, a cult based on a steaming mountain of lies. The price of entry to the cult is to repudiate reason and personal responsibility.
I don’t agree at all. You greatly underestimate how many there are and how much they hate us. Misha Petrov shows a clip from her longer review of the new Babylon Bee movie “January 6: The Most Deadliest Day.” of Kamala comparing January 6 to 911 and Pearl Harbor. Does Kamala actually believe that? On an emotional level she does and will act on that feeling if she is able to. No doubt about that.
“January 6: The Most Deadliest Day.” Review. (1 min)
Those folks need to wake up. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Trump was robbed in 2020, we all know it, but we did not shut down the country. Maybe they will burn down some minority communities, but I guarantee there will be no mass rioting and looting in Martha's Vinyard.
Fat chance. There’s about as much chance of them becoming sane as there is of Hezbollah converting to Judaism and becoming Israeli citizens. Easy to imagine them becoming far more deranged. Impossible to imagine them becoming less so.
Kamala simply says what's on the Teleprompter. Polling and consultants do the calculus of which words will resonate and which will offend, applying that to the cross tabs to reach the required 0.1% plurality advantage.
Trump just says what he's thinking. Those same Kamala campaign consultants find that unimaginable, I'm guessing. By now Kamala is probably inviting them in one by one for a dressing down, since it's never her fault.
Campaigns find truth regardless how much money and effort goes into concealment.
All Mishas I know (including myself) are "he". The name is in the open; one may even call a pet bear Misha, and many do. BTW, I know a woman whose name is Seva, go figure. Cheers.
Seva says "we no longer even have a common reality"
That is because they have no reality.
There is biology working here. The tool makes the tool maker. Today the tool is an electronic device that dispenses electronic drugs via your eyes and ears - eyes especially.
Conservatives are guarded and skeptical, and as such are "shielded" from the drug. Liberals have minds so open their brains have fallen out. The media which is the message has them. They are gone. Zombies. No longer human.
Treat them accordingly. Leave them alone if you can but if you can't, El Deguello.
Couple heavy hitters in Seva and James here, but I will point out one further thing, or rather make a small correction: They have a reality. It's called The Death Cult. Every policy, every ideology, every passion that Democrats\Progressives care about hinges on or around being pro-death in some way. I can go down the list ad nauseam and prove it, going all the way back to at least the 1960's. Anybody who wants to do a cursory analysis will figure it out. Just pick a policy and take it to its logical conclusion. It took me getting into the New Testament and Christianity* in general to wholly see it, but I had an idea before. There is a reason that 'Progressives' HATE and must eliminate Christians and scripture. (*The Life Cult...if you'll forgive me being tongue in cheek.)

Thank god it's meeting its death. Under 20 year olds across this nation are waking up and will not waste 20-30 years believing in the easter bunny like I did.
You don't understand. This is just part of his Insidious Plot (and they're The Worst Kind), to lure us into a false sense of security. Then at just the right moment he'll reveal he is in fact a shape shifting lizard alien!
The first person or media outlet who uses the word Hitler or Nazi immediately loses the discussion. I tune them out.
If your position is with merit and honest, you do not need to use such terms.
But these days the left uses those terms on a regular basis. Which should tell you the lack of merit, the lack of integrity and the lack of substance in their positions.
Thank you, Ms Stone for another excellent podcast.
I just watched a good video on you tube with Michael Franzese. He was a former mob boss but the video is about Nancy Pelosi. It talks about the power hungry democrats.
You'll never be able to change the way these people think. Even my old college friend "fact checks" everything I tell her. Of course she uses corporate media outlets. She lived in Minneapolis for 20+ years. It occured to me that she probably didn't have one friend that disagreed with her political views. Talk about cults. I sent her some information about Michael Shellenberger's Public posts. It's appalling how close minded these " liberals" are now.
I had a F*cebook friend tell me to stop posting independent media links in my replies to his posts... he wasn't going to allow himself to be misled by a 'random dude' on the internet, like Glenn Greenwald or Michael Schellenberger.
It was hard to avoid telling my friend that *he* was the random dude on the internet, not my sources.
No, I don't think so. I'm a conservative who took to reading Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald at least three years ago. I've listened to Coleman Hughes and Glenn Lourey and John McWhorter. I'm still (probs not for long) a subscriber to The Free Press----and became one when it was called Common Sense.
I like the heterodox perspective, but only from those speaking in frank and honest terms. I think that's true of most conservatives. When you waste my time and energy with insane statements like "I wish that assassin hadn't missed Trump" I'll call that TDS every day, all day. And yeah, it just happened last week.
So you linked an article written by Jonathan Chait who, according to Wikipedia, is a "self-described liberal hawk". He takes Taibbi's quotes out of context (from who knows where or what exactly) and then posits why he thinks Taibbi has wrong-think. And that is supposed to prove exactly what to me? You did exactly what I said I don't waste time on.
Just like Elon buying X and pissing off the left, Taibbi was asked (along with Shellenberger, Weiss, etc) to go through the Twitter files and the lefties got pissed that their reliable besties left the estate, much less testified before Congress!
I'm not going to listen to the pod that he did on the DNC convention to find your argument. As I said, I like to read and listen to heterodox points of view that stand in fact, not opinion. If Taibbi or any other person on the face of the earth evolves from a previous POV into a new one, I'm happy to listen. I may not agree, but I'll listen. It's your ilk that has zero tolerance for differing points of view.
Another small town in Ohio that had about 3,000 people in 2022 has been given another 3,000 people from Africa. Strange how the media took issue when DeSantis sent 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard but completely ignores poor people having their lives turned upside down when they have the Biden Administration sending unreasonable numbers of people into their community.
A young man I know was going to Africa. I said ‘be careful. Africa can be very dangerous’. He said I was racist. I said ‘Nope. I have been there.’ He was pro open borders. He said ‘let anyone come here who wants to.’ So, he went. Spent six months there. I asked ‘so now that you’ve been, what do you think?’ He said ‘Open borders for all who can assimilate.’ I asked what percent of Africans can do that. He held his hand up making a circle with his thumb and forefinger. ‘Zero’ he said. ZERO. He said ‘they won’t be able to, their children will largely not make it. Maybe by third generation half will.’ Adding 3000 illegal Africans to an American town of 3,000 is a disaster for that town. If I lived there I would pack up and go. Fifty years of problems coming up.
It is disgusting that the leftists devalue the victims of the Holocaust with their constant Hitler ranting. But totally consistent and expected with the way the left has always trampled over anyone in their way in their quest for power.
The silver lining is that at this late hour in the campaign, they’ve exposed themselves as having nothing left but their insane fear. All the Hitler talk does not bring them one new voter, all it does is drive people further away. Almost everyone is immune to all their lying and gaslighting, but they just can’t help themselves. They own most of the media, but they’re not using it now to win the election, they’re only using it to show each other that they’re in lockstep with one another. They’re just like chimpanzees hooting and hollering and grinning at each other to show the other chimpanzees that they all agree. I really hope they keep it up right until Election Day.
yep. spam. I asked for a review but it takes days. I post articles like this that I think are poignant. Just hope some of the nitwit sheep on the left might read one and start to think. No one better than Sasha to make the point! But to call it spam is a new low for censorship.
To Stephen King...after over 45+ years, I have cancelled my subscription. If you are even producing anything of worth, it's not on my reading list. Get your bucks elsewhere.
Not really - and since progressives have destroyed the concept of teaching history, no one will get the reference anyway.
Calling Trump a fascist is simply a stepping stone - if someone is a fascist then doing literally anything to stop them is acceptable - a self-fulfilling if everyone-else defeating prophecy.
I am a wreck. I can't sleep soundly. It's hard to eat. I'm anxious.
I haven't been this worried about an election since my husband ran for a commission seat many years ago. He ended up being the number one vote getter, which made him mayor pro tem, in addition to being a city commissioner.
I just want this damn election to be over with. I want to know if the final years of my life, will be sink or swim.
I was watching the speech where Michelle Obama was highlighting all the benefits of voting for Kamala. And I realized one big thing I have felt about Kamala all along but have never talked about. I never sensed any kind of womanhood within her. She's just there, uttering her word salads and the icky cackling. I, as a woman, never felt like she was feminine, she didn't display any essence of womanhood. No softness. No genuine compassion. No depth of feelings and certainly intelligent.
I have so often wondered why in the world women would vote for her? Why would women settle for Kamala? Haven't the women who dreamed of having a woman in the white house expected better representation of who women are today?
Thank you Sasha. Also thanks for including the Glen Greenwald clip. He's one of my heroes when it comes to free speech.
Modern Western women just aren't feminine. Through feminism, SSRIs, and hormonal birth control, they've destroyed in themselves what made women great. They have no instincts to nurture, nest, or inspire, and have become pseudo-men but without any real masculinity (the instincts to protect, build, and explore). They've become everything feminists wrongly accuse men of being (or of having been "back in the bad old days"): sexually degenerate, greedy, bossy as Hell, and selfish to the point of even being willing to kill their own babies. I'm female, and am sickened by the almost total solipsism I see in my own sex these days. The world needs Mary.
Wow - I honestly thought I was alone in feeling this way about modern women (not all women but many). No maternal instincts, hedonistic sexuality on display for their children to see, mercenary and contemptuous attitudes about men, and incapable or unwilling to move beyond the self centered pursuits of sorority girls even as they approach their late 50’s. I’m lonely but I no longer relate to these women. As time moves on, I find myself accepting this new solitude - keenly aware that sometimes there is a price to pay for not giving in to this destruction.
I’ve been super stressed too, but I struggle for equanimity. I want to be OK if Harris wins (🤮) even though I do want Trump to win. It would be so epic! But don’t wanna fall apart if he doesn’t. I know the MAGA movement will continue no matter what. TRUMP 2024!
The anticipation as we get closer to the election is high. However, even if Trump wins ( and he should) the chaos from the dems will ratchet up- at least for awhile. More turbulence coming our way; do what you can to fight the anti - facist fascists, & help the fighters fight. It helps to be among kindred spirits.
To be very brief everything Sasha is telling you is the truth. Every thing you hear out of Clintons, Obamas, Harris's collective mouths is straight out of the 1960's Handbook for Radicals. Bottom up, Top down squeezing the middle. Meaning stirring up the bottom of society again st the middle class which in turn asks the government for help, which II s all too happy to oblige with draconian ,freedom ending laws.
Have we forgotten the Covid lock downs? The incessant riots that destroyed middle class businesses? The firing of middle class workers nurses, cops,firemen,postal workers etcetera for not taking g the jab while the top ate out at 5 star restaurants with out masks and we had to stay home? Wake the fuck up. The progressive party is not playing around. It will destroy this country as you know it. Do you want to.live in Venezuela, Cuba, or Denmark where 80% of your wages go to the government? Wake up! Harris \ Waltz are just cutouts,empty shells .
The lock downs, riots, mandates, etc. we’re just laboratory experiments: how far can we go, how much can we say, how much will they (the lab rats) take before they chew though the wires of their cages or gnaw off their own paws to escape?
Denmark is all white,no immigrants and a population of 9 million,and no no guns. If you want to immigrate there it is a tedious endeavor. You can't just walk across the border. What you get in return for the 80% taxation is cradle to grave medical , education, pension and funeral. Try that with 325 million Americans plus unknown illegals . Not enough worker bees.
Each day another once likable celebrity destroys their legacy parroting this vileness. Most disappointing was Tyler Perry. He knows better , yet still decided to sell his soul.
Identity politics and tribalism is the erasure of pragmatism and independent thinking. Blind partisanship and allegiance to a group for reasons “ identity” is ruinous. I’m Jewish and once believed the Dems were the better bet because they had more Jewish names in Congress, Senate and public positions. How fucking ignorant and regrettable. Roseanne Barr said it best during an appearance on Piers Morgan. She blasted Zelensky and his cabinet of Azov Nazis. Morgan took umbrage. “ Mr Zelenskyy is Jewish. He can’t be a Nazi! Roseanne shot back,” I’m Jewish and lost most of my family to the Ukranian Nazis. Just because he’s Jewish doesn’t mean he’s a good Jew. Skinfolk don’t make you kinfolk. Black Americans are finally waking up to being had. I don’t know what’s taken so long. I really believed Biden’s history of blatant racism would deter them. “ I don’t want my children growing up in a racial jungle”.” They gonna put y’all back in chains”. Incarcerating people for decades with a nickel bag of weed.- Not white people. Janet Yellen, “ Abortion is good for Black people”. Matter of fact, Biden’s called Jewish attorneys “ Shylocks”, Mexicans the” Filthiest scum of the Earth”, mocked Hindu Indians for their ownership of convenience stores and franchises,” You can’t go to a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. You think I’m joking, man?”. But he’s always had an affinity for Islamist jihadists and Communist dictators.
The Republicans might not be the savviest, but the Dems and UniParty globalists are the CommunoIslamoFascist Red/Green Alliance of Sociopathy, Pyschopathy, Tranhumanism, Necrophilia,Hatred and Death To All Things Living.
I was listening to Matias Desmet, who has written about totalitarianism. He made the comment that very educated and intelligent people often try to mold themselves to the social ideal as much as possible, so in the process they become very hyper and perfectionist, kind of OCD. They conform to and uphold the social ideal to get social approval. Democrats are trying to be “good people” by becoming absolute lunatic haters, but they can’t see it because the media and the Democrats keep applauding them and continually advocating that they must hate Trump and his supporters.
Trump is so evil he wants to implement a fascist government but so incompetent he forgot to do it in his first term.
Leftism is so completely devoid of reason and logic.
“but so incompetent he forgot to do it in his first term.”
They get around that by claiming Trump was stopped from establishing a fascist police state by patriots in the government who worked to block and undermine everything he did. In effect, they’re saying the unelected deep state officials in the CIA and FBI saved democracy in America but this time will be different since he’s already said he’ll get rid of people like this.

Hopefully this will enable Trump to win with a cheat proof majority but then the question is if he will be able to govern a society so severely divided that we no longer even have a common reality.
I hope he and Elon fire about 80% of unelected bureaucrats in the government's alphabet agencies. This time he has to put the right people in the right spots in government. It's going to be glorious I believe.
But the democrats say, and no doubt believe, that Trump plans to do that so that he can get rid of the patriots who oppose him to save democracy in America. They do not consider these people a “deep state.” They consider these people patriots committed to stopping Trump from establishing a fascist police state in America. Do they actually believe that? They sure do.
Michael Savage wrote a book about it: "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder". He was correct way before his time.
Patriots do their jobs. Going against your boss is not being a patriot. If you can't do it, resign.
But what if your boss is “another Hitler”? Would you just follow his orders or resign and end up financially ruined and have to live in a tent in an alley and hope the rats didn’t bite you while you were sleeping?
Seva, you're slipping closer and closer to bizarro world.
You are delusional if you think freedoms are synonymous with fascism.
That’s more the province of those who censor, those who deliberately lie, those who will restrict the freedom and rights of people who disagree, those who cause suffering from inflation, those who selectively cry judicial decisions are good when we agree and fascism when we disagree.
What if the employee is an asylum escapee?
You quit your job, file whistleblower complaints, file lawsuits.
Simply acting contrary to the Commander in Chief is sabotage at best; treason on any other day.
That's the whole point in electing Trump to prevent the real fascists from taking over!
Trump will find himself in a perfect Catch 22 situation. If he gets rid of the rot, Democrats will say they warned everyone that Trump would go after his enemies. If he doesn't get rid of the rot, he'll be rewarding and encouraging the same behavior that thwarted him in his first term.
Trump might as well go out with a bang and hopefully do so in such a way that has little to no negative affect on hopeful Vance 2028 & 2032 runs, of course assuming we're all still here and/or the apocalypse has't taken place! Lol.

I seriously hope he appoints the Texas AG Ken Paxton as attorney general. He has several reason to jail people in the deep state that went after him.
They believe a lot of stupid things! Not sure which is worse, all the gaslighting, lying, and corruption, or that some actually begin to believe their own lies!
I disagree. Leave them unfilled.
Name 3 accomplishments of the Department of Ed. There are none. The Tenn. Valley Authority was set up 100 years ago to electrify the rural backwoods of the state.

They interpret “the right people” to be far-right fascists who worship the fascist dictator Trump.
False.
Fascism, like every form of totalitarianism, is decidedly left wing. This is obvious to any sane person simply by reviewing the underlying principles of each party.
Republicans == real / Classical Liberals. Small government, low taxes, individual rights rein supreme, the objective rule of law. It is impossible to build any form of totalitarian government based on these principles.
Democrats == totalitarianism (Marxist flavored in this generation). Big government; crushing taxes; crippling regulations; cataclysmic debt. These principles ALWAYS lead to totalitarianism.
Leftist ideology is, and must always be, a cult based on a steaming mountain of lies. The price of entry to the cult is to repudiate reason and personal responsibility.
Seva, get help bro.
Most of it is talk. Maybe they will move to Canada.

Trudeau and his ilk have run out of gas there, too.
Saw some friends discussing this on FB. I wanted to respond--you think your life will be better under Justin Turdeau? But I kept my cool.
The cowards lack the courage of their convictions and will continue to plague America with their presence
That's their excuse; only cult members and fools fall for it.

I love the image: "So open minded, their brains have fallen out."
We’re all supposed to memory hole that Donald Trump somehow forgot to emulate the world’s first social justice warrior in his first term..
He didn't forget to clean house in the 1st term, he simply underestimated how vile and corrupt to USG has become. 🤷♀️
The other thing that you call the Left are simply the weakest and worst examples of human beings - on earth. 💯
He didn’t realize there were almost no good people in DC. He couldn’t put the good ones in charge because there aren’t enough. Medicine is the same now. There aren’t enough good doctors to say ‘these decisions should be between you and your doctor’ because most doctors spout propaganda.

The left doesn’t fear anything except the loss of power. It embraces fascism like a long lost lover.
WE are the ones that are supposed to be scared of their fear mongering.
I just watched a good video on you tube with Michael Franzese. He was a former mob boss but the video is about Nancy Pelosi. It talks about the power hungry democrats.
True. But the only ones giving in to the fear are those spreading it ...

You'll never be able to change the way these people think. Even my old college friend "fact checks" everything I tell her. Of course she uses corporate media outlets. She lived in Minneapolis for 20+ years. It occured to me that she probably didn't have one friend that disagreed with her political views. Talk about cults. I sent her some information about Michael Shellenberger's Public posts. It's appalling how close minded these " liberals" are now.
I had a F*cebook friend tell me to stop posting independent media links in my replies to his posts... he wasn't going to allow himself to be misled by a 'random dude' on the internet, like Glenn Greenwald or Michael Schellenberger.
It was hard to avoid telling my friend that *he* was the random dude on the internet, not my sources.
Pot Kettle for Conservatives who see any dissenting information as TDS now.
No, I don't think so. I'm a conservative who took to reading Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald at least three years ago. I've listened to Coleman Hughes and Glenn Lourey and John McWhorter. I'm still (probs not for long) a subscriber to The Free Press----and became one when it was called Common Sense.
I like the heterodox perspective, but only from those speaking in frank and honest terms. I think that's true of most conservatives. When you waste my time and energy with insane statements like "I wish that assassin hadn't missed Trump" I'll call that TDS every day, all day. And yeah, it just happened last week.
Matt Talibi openly said I dont care what Conservatives do anymore its my outright hate for Democrats.
Where/When? Quote it or it's not true. He doesn't write like that.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/matt-taibbi-why-republican-trump-left-wing.html
and on his hate part look at the DNC convention with Racket he went FULL bitter.
So you linked an article written by Jonathan Chait who, according to Wikipedia, is a "self-described liberal hawk". He takes Taibbi's quotes out of context (from who knows where or what exactly) and then posits why he thinks Taibbi has wrong-think. And that is supposed to prove exactly what to me? You did exactly what I said I don't waste time on.
Just like Elon buying X and pissing off the left, Taibbi was asked (along with Shellenberger, Weiss, etc) to go through the Twitter files and the lefties got pissed that their reliable besties left the estate, much less testified before Congress!
I'm not going to listen to the pod that he did on the DNC convention to find your argument. As I said, I like to read and listen to heterodox points of view that stand in fact, not opinion. If Taibbi or any other person on the face of the earth evolves from a previous POV into a new one, I'm happy to listen. I may not agree, but I'll listen. It's your ilk that has zero tolerance for differing points of view.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-1ItVkY16k&t=1s Saw this in today's Daily Mail.
Another small town in Ohio that had about 3,000 people in 2022 has been given another 3,000 people from Africa. Strange how the media took issue when DeSantis sent 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard but completely ignores poor people having their lives turned upside down when they have the Biden Administration sending unreasonable numbers of people into their community.
A young man I know was going to Africa. I said ‘be careful. Africa can be very dangerous’. He said I was racist. I said ‘Nope. I have been there.’ He was pro open borders. He said ‘let anyone come here who wants to.’ So, he went. Spent six months there. I asked ‘so now that you’ve been, what do you think?’ He said ‘Open borders for all who can assimilate.’ I asked what percent of Africans can do that. He held his hand up making a circle with his thumb and forefinger. ‘Zero’ he said. ZERO. He said ‘they won’t be able to, their children will largely not make it. Maybe by third generation half will.’ Adding 3000 illegal Africans to an American town of 3,000 is a disaster for that town. If I lived there I would pack up and go. Fifty years of problems coming up.
It is disgusting that the leftists devalue the victims of the Holocaust with their constant Hitler ranting. But totally consistent and expected with the way the left has always trampled over anyone in their way in their quest for power.
The silver lining is that at this late hour in the campaign, they’ve exposed themselves as having nothing left but their insane fear. All the Hitler talk does not bring them one new voter, all it does is drive people further away. Almost everyone is immune to all their lying and gaslighting, but they just can’t help themselves. They own most of the media, but they’re not using it now to win the election, they’re only using it to show each other that they’re in lockstep with one another. They’re just like chimpanzees hooting and hollering and grinning at each other to show the other chimpanzees that they all agree. I really hope they keep it up right until Election Day.
It is the ultimate insult to all murdered by Hitler. There was only 1.
Tried to post this on Facebook. It was taken down. Twice. Who are the real fascists? The answer is clear
They called it spam, right? I've had the last two Sasha Stone articles removed for being spam, and counted as hits against me. They're such bastards.
yep. spam. I asked for a review but it takes days. I post articles like this that I think are poignant. Just hope some of the nitwit sheep on the left might read one and start to think. No one better than Sasha to make the point! But to call it spam is a new low for censorship.
So glad I got off FB.
Since the left is losing ground, they'll use name calling as their last resort. Marxism 101. Great podcast, Sasha.
To Stephen King...after over 45+ years, I have cancelled my subscription. If you are even producing anything of worth, it's not on my reading list. Get your bucks elsewhere.
I read each new Stephen King book as they came out (yes, I’m that old). But after Pet Sematary I was so disgusted I swore I would never read another.
Trump's rally is like the Bund meeting in 1939?
Not really - and since progressives have destroyed the concept of teaching history, no one will get the reference anyway.
Calling Trump a fascist is simply a stepping stone - if someone is a fascist then doing literally anything to stop them is acceptable - a self-fulfilling if everyone-else defeating prophecy.
The press are screaming he has used the term "the enemy within." It seems an enema within would work better: https://thecheckmate.substack.com/p/the-enema-within
I am a wreck. I can't sleep soundly. It's hard to eat. I'm anxious.
I haven't been this worried about an election since my husband ran for a commission seat many years ago. He ended up being the number one vote getter, which made him mayor pro tem, in addition to being a city commissioner.
I just want this damn election to be over with. I want to know if the final years of my life, will be sink or swim.
I was watching the speech where Michelle Obama was highlighting all the benefits of voting for Kamala. And I realized one big thing I have felt about Kamala all along but have never talked about. I never sensed any kind of womanhood within her. She's just there, uttering her word salads and the icky cackling. I, as a woman, never felt like she was feminine, she didn't display any essence of womanhood. No softness. No genuine compassion. No depth of feelings and certainly intelligent.
I have so often wondered why in the world women would vote for her? Why would women settle for Kamala? Haven't the women who dreamed of having a woman in the white house expected better representation of who women are today?
Thank you Sasha. Also thanks for including the Glen Greenwald clip. He's one of my heroes when it comes to free speech.
#TrumpVance2024 #WomenForTrump
Modern Western women just aren't feminine. Through feminism, SSRIs, and hormonal birth control, they've destroyed in themselves what made women great. They have no instincts to nurture, nest, or inspire, and have become pseudo-men but without any real masculinity (the instincts to protect, build, and explore). They've become everything feminists wrongly accuse men of being (or of having been "back in the bad old days"): sexually degenerate, greedy, bossy as Hell, and selfish to the point of even being willing to kill their own babies. I'm female, and am sickened by the almost total solipsism I see in my own sex these days. The world needs Mary.
Wow - I honestly thought I was alone in feeling this way about modern women (not all women but many). No maternal instincts, hedonistic sexuality on display for their children to see, mercenary and contemptuous attitudes about men, and incapable or unwilling to move beyond the self centered pursuits of sorority girls even as they approach their late 50’s. I’m lonely but I no longer relate to these women. As time moves on, I find myself accepting this new solitude - keenly aware that sometimes there is a price to pay for not giving in to this destruction.
Because that's actually Big Mike Obama...wears the pants in that family...Barry is obviously light in the loafers.
I’ve been super stressed too, but I struggle for equanimity. I want to be OK if Harris wins (🤮) even though I do want Trump to win. It would be so epic! But don’t wanna fall apart if he doesn’t. I know the MAGA movement will continue no matter what. TRUMP 2024!
The anticipation as we get closer to the election is high. However, even if Trump wins ( and he should) the chaos from the dems will ratchet up- at least for awhile. More turbulence coming our way; do what you can to fight the anti - facist fascists, & help the fighters fight. It helps to be among kindred spirits.
People voted for McCain and Bush Jr its about Ideology first never changes.
To be very brief everything Sasha is telling you is the truth. Every thing you hear out of Clintons, Obamas, Harris's collective mouths is straight out of the 1960's Handbook for Radicals. Bottom up, Top down squeezing the middle. Meaning stirring up the bottom of society again st the middle class which in turn asks the government for help, which II s all too happy to oblige with draconian ,freedom ending laws.
Have we forgotten the Covid lock downs? The incessant riots that destroyed middle class businesses? The firing of middle class workers nurses, cops,firemen,postal workers etcetera for not taking g the jab while the top ate out at 5 star restaurants with out masks and we had to stay home? Wake the fuck up. The progressive party is not playing around. It will destroy this country as you know it. Do you want to.live in Venezuela, Cuba, or Denmark where 80% of your wages go to the government? Wake up! Harris \ Waltz are just cutouts,empty shells .
The lock downs, riots, mandates, etc. we’re just laboratory experiments: how far can we go, how much can we say, how much will they (the lab rats) take before they chew though the wires of their cages or gnaw off their own paws to escape?
So far, so good.
If only we could have Denmark life expectancy and standard of living.....
Denmark is all white,no immigrants and a population of 9 million,and no no guns. If you want to immigrate there it is a tedious endeavor. You can't just walk across the border. What you get in return for the 80% taxation is cradle to grave medical , education, pension and funeral. Try that with 325 million Americans plus unknown illegals . Not enough worker bees.
I need the Washington Post to tell me how to vote here in Australia
Amr
Sorry, Amr, the children at WAPO, including Victoria Neocon Nuland’s husband Neocon Kagan, are in mourning that they couldn’t endorse Karmello.
Maybe they will become so "in mourning" as to become suicidal.
Quite an uncharitable thought, I know. But our current circumstances do not inspire me to feel charitable ...
WaPo is nothing more than Pravda on the Potomac. It ceased being a newspaper decades ago.
Each day another once likable celebrity destroys their legacy parroting this vileness. Most disappointing was Tyler Perry. He knows better , yet still decided to sell his soul.
Identity politics and tribalism is the erasure of pragmatism and independent thinking. Blind partisanship and allegiance to a group for reasons “ identity” is ruinous. I’m Jewish and once believed the Dems were the better bet because they had more Jewish names in Congress, Senate and public positions. How fucking ignorant and regrettable. Roseanne Barr said it best during an appearance on Piers Morgan. She blasted Zelensky and his cabinet of Azov Nazis. Morgan took umbrage. “ Mr Zelenskyy is Jewish. He can’t be a Nazi! Roseanne shot back,” I’m Jewish and lost most of my family to the Ukranian Nazis. Just because he’s Jewish doesn’t mean he’s a good Jew. Skinfolk don’t make you kinfolk. Black Americans are finally waking up to being had. I don’t know what’s taken so long. I really believed Biden’s history of blatant racism would deter them. “ I don’t want my children growing up in a racial jungle”.” They gonna put y’all back in chains”. Incarcerating people for decades with a nickel bag of weed.- Not white people. Janet Yellen, “ Abortion is good for Black people”. Matter of fact, Biden’s called Jewish attorneys “ Shylocks”, Mexicans the” Filthiest scum of the Earth”, mocked Hindu Indians for their ownership of convenience stores and franchises,” You can’t go to a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. You think I’m joking, man?”. But he’s always had an affinity for Islamist jihadists and Communist dictators.
The Republicans might not be the savviest, but the Dems and UniParty globalists are the CommunoIslamoFascist Red/Green Alliance of Sociopathy, Pyschopathy, Tranhumanism, Necrophilia,Hatred and Death To All Things Living.
I was listening to Matias Desmet, who has written about totalitarianism. He made the comment that very educated and intelligent people often try to mold themselves to the social ideal as much as possible, so in the process they become very hyper and perfectionist, kind of OCD. They conform to and uphold the social ideal to get social approval. Democrats are trying to be “good people” by becoming absolute lunatic haters, but they can’t see it because the media and the Democrats keep applauding them and continually advocating that they must hate Trump and his supporters.
