The same far right white supremacist and known propagandist that seems to often spread Russian based disinformation to his network of nazi and 4chan troll followers?

Very interesting that he is being used as a source in this discussion regarding "both sides".

I dunno if it's just me but using a known neo nazi liar as a source of information to prove a point doesn't seem like a good idea if you're trying to present one side is just as bad as the others.

Carry on. Just making an observation.

It wasn’t the reporter who found his party affiliation by his phone number/public record, it was Linda Kerns the Republican National Committee's election integrity council for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania… so how does that discredit anything? The staffer was also republican. These are just quotes from them, what does that have to do with the reporter or his reputation? These are direct quotes from these people. Find the guys public info if you have the time and post it yourself if you want to prove this wrong.

And not for nothing but don’t you think him using “KKK*nt” is a dead giveaway? Lol


I understand your intent but Posobiec is an unreliable source for several reasons. This is the same guy that held up a "Rape Melania" sign at a Clinton rally in 2016 to cause chaos. He's always lying. Like literally.

Also, I don't think that there aren't bad actors on both sides. There are. In any group there's always going to be pieces of sh*t.

But right now in this current climate, there is only one political party pushing racism, bigotry, misogyny, hatred, violence and fascism, and their supporters are eating it up.

It isn't the Democrats. And if you have to trove through a neo nazi's website to find enough evidence to dispute that, there probably isn't much proof at all that the Dems and base are equal in this matter.

Interesting that Republicans go to such lengths less than a week from election day to stop people from voting.


You mean like Democrats going to Court to try and prevent 3rd party candidate RFK Jr. from being allowed on the ballots - and then when RFK Jr. cancels his campaign to join with Trump - going to Court to try and prevent RFK Jr. from removing his name from the ballots. That's priceless.


Do you understand that each state has rules about being on the ballot? And in some states if you ignore those rules you can be removed off the ballot. I find that all grievances from the Trump cult or Trump defenders come from the fact that you literally don’t know how anything works.


Thanks for the lesson. Big states rights supporter myself, including letting the states decide themselves on the abortion issue. Pro or Anti I could care less. Anyway, in the summer, my state sued to keep RFK off the ballot. Now they are not letting him off the ballot. That was my point. The reasons are obvious why states do what they do, even for a genius like you - you prefer to take the no nothing cult game which is pretty much how these political cesspool threads work. I rarely comment but the hypocrisy is too funny in this instance.

What state are you in? Send me the details of both cases from a reputable source. I can guarantee you that you’re missing out on a lot of context of what happened. For example pro tip, the party that sues to get someone off the ballot isn’t the same party that decides if they stay on the ballot. Send me the details if you believe you’re right

Iran will launch powerful strike on Israel before the US elections - CNN citing sources

A senior Iranian source told CNN today that Iran will launch a "definitive and painful" response to Israel's attack last week against military targets in the country, and that it will likely come before the November 5th US presidential election.

Great. This sh*t will never end.

So is this going to be full blown Israel vs Iran? I thought the Israelis basically broke Hezbollah.

If Dems take the House, the most damage Johnson can do is shutting down the government in late December. Once new years comes, Hakeem Jefferies will have the gavel.

These dipsh*ts think they're gonna do the same thing they tried last year.

Bibi absolutely is begging for this response.

I'd love to lock Bibi and his cabinet in a room with Iran's leaders and let them kill each other. Leave the rest of the world out of it

Clyde, you’re gunna stroke the fuq out here, I’m telling you. Your 24/7 freak out is massively unhealthy. You’re the angriest poster on the whole damn board man. How the hell you live like this? You and DollarBills gotta take a vaca I swear lol


I'm actually good man, let's clear the air. All I said to you was that your both siderism opinion is disingenuous and only helps run cover for the far right extremism coming from MAGA. Just because you have friends/family that are MAGA doesn't make your opinion any less disingenuous.

Frankly, all you're doing is chastising people for not accepting the horrible behavior coming from these folks. I'm free to disagree with you on that. I find their racist behavior and violent rhetoric unacceptable, dangerous, and appalling, and i refuse to rationalize it or normalize any of it. That's not a personal attack against you as a person, but your opinions on the matter.

Sorry if you think me saying that is me coming at you sideways, but if you're gonna equate the side that is saying dehumanizing racist sh*t like Black ppl eats cats and dogs, Puerto Ricans are garbage hyper breeders, Palestinians are trained to shoot Americans at 2 years old, questioning people's racial purity, wants to strip women's rights, round people up to throw them in camps/mass deportations, or is propping up a convicted felon and rapist for President to the side that isn't doing any of this, the only people that benefit from that kind of opinion are the people who are pushing literal nazism in the USA.


I come back a day later and this spree dude has been posting all day long extremist right wing BS and people were concerned about me calling them out for their hypocrisy with their fake both sides nonsense?

Guy is agitating for Trump. This is called supporting fascism. So maybe I should just call them a Nazi and be done with it. Boo hoo, I insulted a liar and a hypocrite. Unreal

Read on Twitter


The desperation of Trump supporters and the GOP in general has been evident in their insistence that Trump has gained support in the black community. In reality, it appears the only demographic he may have picked up support in is the illiterate TikTok Bros voting their first time. Otherwise, Trump has had major erosion in support since 2020 in so many key demographics, but particularly women voters and over 65 voters which is the majority of the voting pool now.

Meanwhile, Harris has mostly made inroad on demographics vs. the support Biden had in 2020.

It is not likely Trump can get more votes than 2020, but it is quite probable Harris will get more votes than Biden did.

Therefore, I expect the margin of the popular vote to be bigger in Harris' favor, but because of the electoral college we're still going to be holding our breath until the votes are counted.


I hear what you’re saying. Typically what you see is either the top of the ticket drags down or pushes up down ballot candidates. What’s going on in some of the polling is the opposite trends. These Senate races aren’t close but there’s no effect at the top of the ticket? Remember Biden won both Nevada and Arizona. You’d think that if mini Trumps and Trump would be affected similarly. I think there’s something off about the polling even in swing states.


Think of it this way.

You've voted Republican your whole life, but you're completely sick of Trump even if you voted him for before. There will be a fair number of Republicans who vote for Harris and the rest of the down ticket they'll vote red.

Crap weasels like Cruz can have the same effect on voters in Texas. They could vote red overall yet vote for Allred instead.

There may also be a sliver who don't vote for either Harris or Trump or even a third candidate but do show up to vote on other races. My guess is those voters would be primarily Republican who vote the down ticket red while withholding a vote for POTUS which would help Harris. There be far less doing that on the blue side. Pretty much any democrat voting is going to vote blue top to bottom.

In sum, the attrition on these variances will generally favor Democrats IMO mostly due to disgust with Trump.

You’re alive! Had me worried Clyde. Wouldn’t expect anything less than spinning the truth and blatant lying from you to push your propaganda. I mean, you just said you came back a day later but you were literally here posting your hate late this morning lol. The 10 posts I made isn’t scratching the surface of your daily count in these political threads… I haven’t even been here the past 5 hours. You could call me a nazi if you want, it’s a free country, but I’m not sure how my black-Cuban pops would feel that makes any sense but ok :lol:
