You can see the big gay dude's face start melting as he grasps for straws.
Lots of young people are influenced by media, virtual signaling, and group think, they fear a lot being outcast by friends, is way safer to support Hillary or Berney than face the social backlash of being a Trump supporter, remember many are finishing high schools or in college, they do not want to be "literally Hitler" supporter.
I was talking to younger girl I know a few months ago who originally a Bernie supporters but jumped over to Trump after it became clear Bernie wasn't going to pull it out. Some highlights:
- "If you're a teenager that supports Trump, you're practically frowned upon. So I just don't support him openly"
- "I can never bring up my support of Trump in front of my friends cause they'll get asshurt"
- "I ask my friends why they hate Trump and the only thing they can say is "He's an asshole"
Also a few lines from the conversation not related to Trump directly but serves as a good illustration of why some younger people are gravitating towards him
- "One of my friends is mixed and the other is black and they're like "I'm proud to be Haitian/Dominican/black and I'm just here thinking 'I'm proud to be a white American' but I can't say it out loud"
- "I did bring up last week to my friends about how if I said to you guys "I'm proud to be white" how selfish and narcissistic it would seem"
- "I'm kind of sick of the Black Lives Matter thing"
Quote:“Trump’s lawyer then changed tactics, lobbing insults and threatening a lawsuit if a story was published. ‘I will make sure that you and I meet one day while we’re in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don’t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,’ Cohen said. ‘So I’m warning you, tread very fucking lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting. You understand me?’ ‘You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up…for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet…you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it,’ he added.” [Daily Beast, 7/27/15]
fucking nuked.
way too much effort in that document to not be legit.

Had to quote for people who didn't see this savage letter.
On the NRA, when it comes to Watchlists, the NRA is adamant about due process being respected. We cannot have a punative list where someone is put on it without any sort of court proceedings and a fair trial.
Trump's tweet about this was ambiguous because you can only print 160 characters. Plus, he loves controversy. But given the NRA's published position being to support due process, I think it's 99% certain it will be the position Trump takes.

All the Trump supporters are well dressed, are reasonably in shape, overall respectful, and use reason in their arguments. The anti-Trump just argue emotionally. They don't really address any issues or alternatives to the Trump stances that they don't like.
Also, catch the "photographer" at the very end. Dude is sitting down, probably 350 lbs plus, holding down the "Porkland" name all by himself. Face covered in a bandana and sitting across the way taking pictures with a zoom lens so he doesn't risk getting torn to shreds, hoping to take a picture of the Trump supporters being violent, realizing he's starting to get hungry and he's all out of Twinkies.
Quote:But he hinted that there’s a role he’s anxious to embrace: that of a former GOP leader who will help to rebuild his party following a historically divisive election.
“I do believe, after November, I’m going to be involved in articulating what the Republican Party stands for.”
So, two things there:
(1) The conspiracy that certain Republicans (i.e. Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan) want to torpedo the party in the 2016 elections so they re-takeover for 2020 is really clear and the fact Mitt Romney said that crystallizes it more than ever.
(2) The Republican Party won't "stand" for anything after November. If Trump loses the party will be on its knees either getting their throat slit and/or fucked in the ass. This is the inflection point... there won't be a party if Trump doesn't win. They don't see it and/or care.
You're assuming that Romney or Ryan don't want to help Trump because they want to run in 2020, but their motivation is more basic than that. They, like other establishment tools, actually prefer Hillary.
Gay cakes and trans bathrooms: the most important human rights issues of our times, surely.

A word of advice to newbies. An interested girl will make the effort to reciprocate. You can't fix running bad game if you've already been failing with her.
Quote:A Black Lives Matter activist hijacked the Orlando vigil held on Monday, using the microphone opportunity to lambast the white attendees who were mourning the terrorist attack that took place last Sunday in Florida.
“I was really nervous to get up here because there’s a lot of white people in the crowd” said the activist, while audience members nervously laughed. “That wasn’t a joke” she added.
“I wish this many people came out to our racial demonstrations and our Black Lives Matter movements. I don’t want to stand up here and be angry, because this isn’t for me, this isn’t for you, it’s for the people that we lost, and the people that we lose tomorrow, and the people that lost yesterday. But I thought I’d take a moment to list out some facts that many of you probably don’t know because you’re white”.
Disgraceful and disgusting that this happened at a vigil meant for the victims of a terrorist attack. The only solace is that a few people in the crowd had enough of it.
Though, it's disheartening to see so how many people applauded at the brave dissenting voices in the crowd yet chose to not speak up or leave and just let the disgusting action play out on stage. This shows you that many only go along with these kind of things out of fear, but do not actually agree.
This is why Trump says he wants to Make America Great Again for all Americans, he knows people are tired of the kind of divisive rhetoric seen in the clip- even people on the other end of the political spectrum.

Rolled over to post this, saw it on a bay area motorcycle forum and thought "this needs to go on RVF...". Because who doesn't love watching an attractive Japanese girl and her unicorns and rainbows.

The weakness of the victim-industrial complex is their willingness to cut each others throats as each subgroup jockeys for position at the top of the victim supreme pyramid.
For those who remained quiet, I don't hold it against them. This is still the midwest where the default reaction is to remain calm and composed. You can bet one thing though, if you looked at some of their faces, you can tell they weren't pleased, and most will never return to one of these gatherings.

Sometimes I really wonder if Unions truly represent their members, or only their respective leaders.
I remember that, not too long ago, one Union (can't recall which one) in California pledged their support to Killary. But...most of it's members were pro Bernie.

The Libertarian Republic dot com Wrote:Donald Trump Just Flipped On Gun Control
Keith Farrell June 15, 2016 2016 Presidential Race, Right to Bear Arms
Donald Trump has flipped on gun control and is now parroting a liberal policy point that jeopardizes all of our rights. Trump has indicated that he will meet with the NRA about supporting restrictions that would ban anyone on a terrorism watch list from buying firearms.
Here’s the problem — people on watch lists haven’t been charged with a crime, let alone convicted. Perhaps people are not aware, but if we get rid of the Fifth Amendment you may well kiss the Second Amendment goodbye, too.
In a previous piece I argued that stripping rights away from Americans because the government merely suspects you of something is a good way to empower the government to strip all our rights away.
Without due process there is nothing protecting citizens from the arbitrary exercise of power, from state persecution, and from unjust deprivation of their life and liberty. Society either exists under the Rule of Law or the rule of men; the latter being when power is yielded at the whims of those who hold it, with no restraint on their actions. The Rule of Law is what separates a just society from one of authoritarian rule. Justice cannot exist under the rule of men.

These lists are arbitrary and flawed. The late Senator Ted Kennedy even found himself on such a list once. Furthermore, this proposal Trump is pushing is exactly what anti-gun President Obama wants to do, as I pointed out:
How would Obama accomplish this? The arbitrary, secret, terror watch list. This so-called security measure has been in effect since 2003. The problem is the criteria for being placed on the list is very subjective and flawed. Even posting something on social media that others deem “reasonably suspicious” could land you on the list. In it’s 12 year existence, MANY errors have been made. Last year it was determined over 1.5 million names have been added to the list.
Conservatives that support this have lost their minds. This is giving the federal government power to strip your rights without charge or trial. What happens when some nut shoots up an abortion clinic? What happens when right-wing views are seen as dangerous? Don’t forget the federal government has investigated such affiliations before.
We must not give the government the ability to nullify the Second Amendment by suspending the Fifth. In this country, you cannot have your rights taken from you because your name is on a secret list. Trump’s failure to understand this once again underscores his dangerous disregard for the Rule of Law.
One thing this election has shown me is that libertarians are ideological purists who won't take any sort of compromise. Look at the Pauls: probably 80% aligned with Trump but still wouldn't endorse him. Everything can be solved by the free market and not having a government, and any sort of government action is an attempt at "stripping your rights".
If terrorists have the opportunity to infringe on citizens right to security, they don't need assault rifles. Banning immigrants from radicalized countries will stop the bleeding but there are already plenty of them in the US.
Anyone should be able to contest their listing on the no-fly list obviously. But if we get the point where you can get on the no-fly list by having conservative views like this article says, the country will be long gone and it will be time for revolt anyways.
Trump is in a ridiculously good mood today. This is fun as hell!

I can't see how Donald Trump exits that NRA meeting without making some form of public comment on making sure the no-fly list does NOT include people who don't rightfully belong there (if he doesn't want to change his view on this entirely.)

Trump is showing his soft side. He's going to need to use this in the general elections. I want to see him get on TV with Oprah or another female host and emote, talk about how he felt when his brother died, the bankruptcies, divorces, etc, going on about his emotions.
I know that it would be a temporary pivot from his current campaign of strength, but I don't know if Trump can win an election with just his white male + right wing guys like us base. He's going to need to win over some women to seal the deal with him. He can win the general without minorities, but white women need to see the softer, more gentle side of him to win. They've only seen rough, coarse, brash Donald Trump.
I saw a little segment with him and all his kids and his grandkids. He should do that more. It's chick bait.
