I'm displaying my first political yard sign ever.  I just hope the house the doesn't get egged or TPed - with the type of trumpety yokel we have in this trash town.  I have to put it close to house so the flood lights come on if someone tries to steal it in the dark.

Right-wing former Rep. Michele Bachmann appeared on televangelist Kenneth Copeland’s “The Victory Channel” last week, where she warned that Black Lives Matter and anti-fascist protesters are trying to destabilize the United States to help elect Joe Biden to the presidency so that they can collapse the U.S. economy and impose a one-world communist government on the nation.

“Antifa is, if you go to their website, their materials, they are directly traceable to the Communist Party because their goal is the overthrow of the United States government and to bring communism into America,” Bachmann said. “Just like Black Lives Matter, this is not a new movement either. On their website, these are transgender Marxists, transgender Black Marxists who are seeking the overthrow the United States and the dissolution of the traditional family.”

“What people need to understand is that 103 years ago, there were no communist countries in this world,” she said. “But this same idea where you have a pretext, you create something—like right now the pretext in America is race wars, that we’re seeing race wars on America’s streets—what this is is a cover to bring about communism and a communist takeover. It happened in communist China. It happened in Venezuela, many countries. What people need to understand, the viewers, is that we currently right now are in a situation where communists are trying to come in and take over America.”

“You say, ‘Aren’t you a little overheated? Isn’t this melodramatic?'” Bachmann continued. “This is exactly what a communist revolution looks like. They think they’re going to do it by electing Joe Biden and then once Joe Biden is elected, they think that these Davos, Switzerland, meetings that go on, they think that what they’re going to do is have the United States’ economy collapse, move to a digital currency globally, and then we move into a global-type government. I mean, it’s bizarre, but this is their goal.”

“For people who know their Bible, this is exactly what the prophets told us,” she added. “So, we stand on the word of God, the Bible, and we say, ‘Satan, flee, we’re going to stand on the truth of God.’ And so that’s why now more than ever, between now and the election, what we need to do is pray and cry out to Almighty God and ask for his protection over America and to speak in this election.”

 

They have a website... and materials? My google must be borken.
 

Part of me misses Michele Bachmann and her bat$h*t craziness. But then again, we have QAnon and Marjorie Taylor Greene . I'm guessing America has an inexhaustible supply of loons.

Just poking my head in here for a minute. 

It's been refreshing to be gone for awhile, which has given me a perspective that this is a uniquely weird version of an echo chamber that generally involves no more than a dozen or less of us.  Add in the occasional troll wandering by looking for a place to cause mischief just to stir the brew.  This is an especially exposed venue for that sort of thing given we all hide behind our secret identities.  And people hear what they want to hear, and some think they shit gold bricks. I've been an offender, of course.

November is coming fast....see you on the other side.

 
 
I don't think so.  Y'all know who I am.  And many know how to reach me in person if you should ever need to.  I have met more than a couple of us over the years.

Just sayin'

Take care, hope you fail, like I did stupidly working for Romney in 2012.  Not that I regret doing it.  On the other hand given Romney's globalist true colors as they have come to be known, his loss gave way to Trump.  So it was worth it.  Hopefully you end up with a similar experience with a Biden loss and we all get someone better next time.  Yeah, I know that's a low bar, but ...

Pretty foolish meme. Not the prior presidential wars, but the obfuscation of trumps war record. 
lets forget that under Trump drone strikes have continued and accelerated in certain areas like Somalia, Iraq, Syria... 
He's thrown out the rules of engagement, resulting in even more civilian deaths, while also ruling to not try to count these innocent deaths.
War crimes arent a big deal...
and Iran and his now love buddy Kim.

No surprise. His modus operandi is to not engage. He didn’t do anything about the pandemic, despite knowing its severity. He didn’t do anything about the rise of racism that made him the figurehead. He didn’t replace the ACA with a better system as he promised. Etc.

He’s just watching TV, playing golf, and profiteering.
And many, many Americans think that’s OK.
 

Did you put a bug on him, or how do you now? It takes some stamina to fight the military-industrial complex, I guess, and he seems to have some of it, all the while corporate media keep telling different things to us and the world. Their world is that of deception, and it has been like that.
 

Here's something that's simple and factual.

Trump's golf count

It would also be informational to follow his tweeting during morning news shows. He's clearly watching them, and not in meetings or doing something otherwise presidential.

And profiteering is an easy one. Start with what his family/company earns from trips to Mar-A-Lago, or the patents his daughter obtained, and move to a more detailed examination of his financial connections and how they benefit him. This is all factual (what bit of it can be uncovered despite his insistence on NDAs and secrecy).

There's nothing about his behavior that suggests that he's at the forefront of fighting for anything except for his personal interests. He's been a very unimpressive president, by any measure.

Since becoming president, Donald Trump has overseen historic increases in defense budgets, fawned over military equipment, installed a number of defense industry insiders in top Pentagon positions and made a major push to sell weapons overseas.
Tremendous stamina...

 
Hahaha... ROFL 

More recently, and still on-going:

Netanyahu secretly okayed F-35 jet sales to UAE, report claims
Israel to Ask U.S. for Arms to Offset UAE F-35 Sale, Report Says

A historic arms agreement, celebrated with peace, or vice versa.

Thanks for this.  That is the direct result of an actual working anti war foreign policy.

Sadly as already seen below, this means nothing, absolutely nothing to those that it should.  What would 8 years of that look like ?

Maybe, just maybe, if the world as a whole calmed down, we might be able to get around to fixing the other things that are wrong.

That and all the fear mongering about letting Trump having his fingers on the button. 

First person in my lifetime that I'm not worried about having their fingers on the button.

Of course, the 2016 race was Hillary and NFWHillary. Only reason that Trump won the electoral college (not popular) vote.

The "next in line" momentum of being VP ain't what it used to be.  Ask Joe about 2016.  Mike Pence is DOA for 2024 (not that Kamala is anything remotely similar to Pence).   VP's get painted with the Presidential brush for better or worse, and her political career could go either way, even against her wishes.

I know that's been a repeated accusation, but - really - how would someone ever think that this is a good place to send in a paid troll, as in how could it be considered an effective tool to sway undecided voters (especially since RP is worldwide)?
 

I completely agree with you. As BillG pointed out in one of his infrequent conversations here, the number of people posting in the Forum make up less than 1% of all RP members. Many of the people posting here aren't Americans as you point out, driving the Forum's impact on American politics down even further. 

As for KK...I've wondered from time to time whether some of the crazier posters here are merely chatbots. That's what KK might only be, apart from the occasional post by a real (sad and confused) human being.
