Since it's full of stuff with bad language, I'll just say if you want to see an absolute gold mine of this stuff check out the Reddit r/ParlerWatch. It started as a way for people to bust those bragging about invading the Capitol, but since those people have largely been dealt with it is now mostly just screencaps from Parler and other social media sites that make you question humanity.

Gotta take it in small doses, though. Trying to read through a whole page of what folks have shared is not healthy.

In that case, every Presidential election ever has been rigged, Illuminati confirmed!

There's definitely that, but Michael also kind of shoots the knees out from under the dubious "election integrity" measures.

I think a case can definitely be made for intelligent people saying stupid things to manipulate stupid people, but not here.
 
It's probably wrong to guffaw but this is like shooting fish in a barrel. Of particular note are the "TRUMP45" licence plate and how "(Round) 3" and "(202)4" are clearly pasted over "(Round) 2" and "(202)0". I hope the driver of Trump Force 1 hasn't gotten any tattoos recently.

"Keep America Great"? KAG? Sounds similar to "kak", if you ask me.

Not as catchy as MAGA, that.

But, like Trump, it's a toilet word and that's what counts. Unfortunately it's a multi-lingual toilet word which makes it liberal and communist. So that's even better.

:lol:

Off topic, but reading this suddenly helped me remember a story I heard really long time ago about how Koreans in the past helped themselves fall asleep. In the west, you're told to count sheep, but in Korea, the adults often told kids to count "rats". The difference is, those rats are falling into the... traditional toilet hole. You know, those ones where you need to squat to do your number twos. So, one rat in the hole, two rats in the hole, so on and so forth.

I could be remembering things wrong, but it's been a while so...

I think Michael Tracey is right ... up to a point. Trump WAS "ill-treated" ... but he was ill-treated because he was such a complete tool. He insulted anybody & everybody, said stupid things, was excruciatingly, almost incomprehensibly narcissistic & vain. It's not unusual for someone like that to be treated as a social pariah. What is unusual is for somebody like that to be elected President.

Also ... it doesn't seem true that "most GOP voters" don't "believe specific claims of literal voter fraud". Apparently, the majority do.

It always weird that people can't separate communism and socialism. I mean there's some overlap, but they aren't the same thing. I don't think I'd consider Bernie a communist either, a socialist yes, but I don't think he ever talked about the government taking over the means of production...that was a Trump talking point.

Even calling a Bernie a socialist is a stretch. He’s embraced the term himself so it’s easy to make the case that he is one. But the key is that he’s stated on many occasions that he is in favor of a market economy. A market economy with more redistributive policies and a more developed welfare developed state isn't socialism, rather social democracy.

To be clear, that Fox News is propaganda isn't a bad take. That they're not protected against government action for speech by the First Amendment is.

It looks like you're arguing against yourself here; he was ill-treated but he deserved it.

Precisely!

I mean that is the essence of the problem with Trump: it's not so much the policies carried out under Trump - which could be argued for or against - it's the pervasive atmosphere of gratuitous insults, lies, & disinformation that he put out on a daily basis. There's a point at which that just poisons the political & social fabric of the country. When Trump won the Presidency, against all expectations, he could have "pivoted" - it's what most political pundits expected. But he didn't, he became even more of a tool.

What a horrendous hot take:

Smartless podcast "broke" this story... I haven't found a single instance of this story on the web that's reported it with a straight face. I'm not even sure whether Paltrow is completely serious herself. I'm veering towards yes though.

Communism. Socialism. Marxism. Wokeism. All just turned into boogeyman words to scare the right's base.

"We want to make sure children do not go hungry". Aww. "They want to incorporate socialism into our schools by making food free in school lunches so children do not go hungry". That's a terrible idea.

Okay, this is waaaaaaay off base...

...

They couldn't give the furry crack of a rat's ass about children going hungry.
 
MTG seems to becoming more openly racist by the day. We all know if Ilhan and Rashida were not Muslim Americans she would not have used the term "Jihad Squad". And the failed "America First Caucus" that she co-authored stated "preserving Anglo-Saxon traditions" as a goal. I feel like it's only a matter of time before she goes full race-realist.

Though it is intriguing to me that she seemed to have defended Israel. I know it's the mainstream Republican position (as well as Democrat, for the most part) to be supportive of Israel, but this is someone that has dog-whistled at anti-semitic conspiracies on multiple occasions.
