Posts: 1127"Sewing Chaos, Fear and Anarchy", the new Repub/RNC 2024 Election Mantra?
Even more so in the 2024 election, do the GOP, QAnon\MAGA Repubs and the RNC, want to attack our democratic voting machinery. Meaning this time around in the 2024 election, they want to sew division, doubt and disdain, by filing even more frivolous litigation and law suits, going after, how votes are counted, tabulated, processed and how elections are going to be ran, according to state bylaws and election procedure manuals.
In three states (AZ, NV, MN), Repubs want to throw out and eliminate the election protection laws/rules that protect election officials. Apparently, they have the ludicrous belief, that they have a 1st Amendment Right to harass and intimidate election officials. (...kkkk!) I guess if that we're true, protesters would equally have the same right to harass and intimidate police officers.
Now, not being able to win the popular vote (and losing by 3 million in 2016, by 7 million in 2020 and [...let's speculate for argument sake and say, lose by a projected] 10 million in 2024), means Repubs will simply and literally sew chaos, fear and anarchy, with the goal of gumming up the courts, with frivolous lawsuits, in an attempt to manufacture a win from a free and fair 2024 election, where Trump AGAIN loses the popular vote, by several millions.

Its not a new strategy. But with recent internal changes at the RNC and added pressure from the former president, the legal maneuvering is expected to play an increasingly significant role for the party as Election Day in November approaches. The lawsuits are useful for campaign messaging, fundraising and raising doubts about the validity of the election. ...
This is something that's very important to President Trump, she said. He has said that this is something the RNC should do year-round.

And sometimes he screws-up his face and brings his pumping fists closer to his mouth, like he's actually sucking 2 dicks simultaneously. I'm sure for most of you, MAGA and INCELs types, this is an
"everyday wet dream", where your dicks, get pumped, by Trumps "crooked hands" (...kkkk!).
Yes...very weird indeed, but nevertheless an interesting way to greet and signal to one another, as part of the brotherhood.
But to be clear, I've always maintained, I'd just happy to see him get a "good drubbing" in the courts, so more Americans (and people from all around the world) can see what a sleaze ball grifter, charlatan, pussy-grabbing and wanna be dictator, Trump is.
Again, I don't think Trump will see any jail time, even if found guilty. And if I'm not mistaken, you, Elvis 2008, have proudly stated on many occasions, it will ONLY boost Trump's "street cred" amongst the Black voters, and give him a better chance of winning.
So QUIT whining, already!!!

Doesn't that make it sound like Platelet rich plasma is evil?
Now get off the headline: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7316a3.htm.
The procedure involves drawing a client's blood, separating the blood into its components of plasma and cells, and using single-use disposable or multiuse sterile equipment to inject the PRP into the face for cosmetic purposes, such as skin rejuvenation and reducing the appearance of acne scars.
Got that? The cure for a medical issue is your own blood and skin rejuvenation is the least that PRP can do. It can be used to repair any tissue in the body. But it is ridiculous that PRP can cause HIV, and yet that is what this headline reads. Here you have a completely in essence free treatment that often does work by the way, and it is being demonized by a federal agency.
South Korea is way, way more advanced than the USA on regenerative and electronic diagnostics and the reason for that is the ridiculous health care bureaucracy.
I don't see either party doing jack shit with that bureaucracy but what we saw with Covid was a lot more Democratic than Republican ass kissing with an awful agency like the CDC.
But this is an issue you and I could come together on but you are too binary and view the world entirely through a partisan lens.

BULLETIN: There is nothing Trump or any other Know Nothing, Do Nothing Repub can, will or ever has done to lower the cost of your rent, the cost of your mortgage, the cost of your food or the cost of gas except by way of their favorite and only result for every USA economy the American electorate was careless and foolish enough to allow; Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction by any means necessary or opportunistically available.
Meanwhile, Biden / Dem hard work and legislation can, has and will continue to reduce corporate price gouging costs for Americans whenever and wherever they can:
J&J, Bristol Myers Squibb lose challenges to Medicare drug-price negotiations.

A federal judge in New Jersey rejected Johnson & Johnsons and Bristol Myers Squibbs legal challenges to the Biden administrations Medicare drug-price negotiations, ruling that the program is constitutional.
The decision is another win for the White House in a bitter legal fight with several drugmakers over the constitutionality of the price talks.
The ruling also weakens the pharmaceutical industrys strategy of seeking split decisions in lower courts scattered across the U.S., which could escalate the issue to the Supreme Court.

Trump is ahead in the latest poll. Younger voters leave the Biden camp. James Carville has a meltdown:
"You little f**king 26-year-old, you don't feel like 'the election's important to me. They're not addressing the issues that I care about. '.
"My advice to tell these young people is to get off your motherf**king a** and go vote because you should vote like your entire future and the entire future of this United States depends on it because quite frankly, it does, and that's not an exaggeration. ".
End of link. Classic Democratic douche. I am smarter than you. The economy is better than you think. You were wrong to think you were better under Trump.
And there is more:
In the Biden vs. Trump matchup, the poll finds Biden faring worse than in previous CNN polls among the youngest voters, trailing Trump by a 51%-to-40% margin among voters younger than 35.
Dissatisfaction is starkly prevalent among those with lower incomes (67% dissatisfied in households with annual incomes lower than $50,000), people of color (64% say they are dissatisfied) and younger Americans (61% of those younger than 45 say they are dissatisfied).
On April 20, I commented People Who Rent Will Decide the 2024 Presidential Election.
Q: What is it that young voters really have on their minds?
A: Rent.
Many with rent as their top concern will switch to Trump. They are fed up with rising inflation. Rent is up at least 0. 4 percent per month for 30 months.
Young voters propelled Biden over the top in 2020. Things look very different today.
End of link.
Trump, blah, blah, blah, Qanon, blah, blah, blah, you dumb kids, blah, blah, blah, Fox News blah, blah, blah, Steven A Smith blah, blah, blah indictments blah, blah, blah.
That $100 billion sent abroad to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan could have paid for college for every American student or to health care or to builders so they could build more structures to help with rent. Or better yet, maybe you just quit with the money printing and let inflation and interest rates come down.
And all those anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian students marching does not help the cause does it Xpartan? Do you have anything to offer them outside of more dead bodies or calling them stupid or anti-Semitic?
Yeah, you got the sex case with Jean E. Carroll. You got the business case with the $454 million judgment and you are so going to have the Stormy Daniels illegal entry case. I am sure that guilty verdict is going to change everything. Right?
Do you have anything else? Because to me, it does not look like the young people are buying your BS.

Biden Revisits His Past in Interview With Howard Stern
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/26/u...ern-trump.html
In an interview with President Joe Biden, Howard says while he votes Republican most times, he will not vote for an idiot (in Trump), that wants to destroy DEMOCRACY.
With at peak viewership in late 2019 at around 35 million, that's a big boost for Biden, among white males. Howard Stern audience are upscale professionals. 74% of his audience are between 25-54 years of age with an average household income of $160k. 73% Male and 27% female. 34% college graduates, 85% white.
Howard Stern Thanks President Joe Biden for Making a Difference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxL1_K-bq2I
35 million listeners/viewers, with a clear unambiguous vote for BIDEN! Now that's some political sway.
Thanks Joe! Thanks Howard!

That fact that SAS himself, nor any of the articles mention, that black voters have historical voted with an avg. of 82-86%, is misleading, disingenuous and is not portraying the full story of how Black voters REALLY vote. The article(s) I presented, simply full-in-the-blanks and give readers the other half (the REAL half) of the Black voting behavioral patterns/history.
Don't forget SAS himself says he votes for Dems 95% of the time.
Yes, polls and polling have their uses and are nice to have, in order to gauge what "might" happen, but historical FACTS and FIGURES, will 100% always trump the inaccurate, inexact and often unreliable use of polls.

FUN FACT: Even though, Republican's very own investigations (spanning over a decade and examining over a billion votes) have turned up NOTHING, in the way of wide spread systemic voter fraud, they still yet push this bogus narrative of election fraud. Why you ask?
Well it really very simply. Republican's know, their base is stinking and hell is likely to freeze over, before they win at the ballot-box, or with populous vote, ever again. Therefore the only option is for Repubs to CHEAT, CHEAT and CHEAT some more. Oh, and while we're at it, be sure to also accuse our opponents of doing the same. You know, do a lot of projecting and thereby muddy the waters, as to who is really doing the cheating.
Why do Repubs, now choose CHEATING to win? Because CHEATING (and LYING) is the only game Repubs know they're good at and it's the ONLY WAY they now know, to beat the Dems.
