I thought MAGA was pushing for Tucker Carlson for VP.

I see her as a possible VP candidate. She is far better than the wingnut Kari Lake

[Jon Miller]

I was just reading that there were questions about his relationships, which isn't something I had really heard about before.

I think Haley is probably going to be the best alternative to Trump, but still lose to Trump.

Tim Scott has given up.

Leaked emails state that Berz is in deep denial. It must be true.

leaked emails show the DNC and BLM were organizing more riots after the election if Trump won

Please provide those "leaked" emails and their source.

There have been leaked emails showing that the DNC was trying to keep their distance and instructions on how to deal with BLM.

Douglas Mackey will be sentenced for posting a meme on Twitter. He saw the meme on another site and posted it on Twitter in 2016. Biden was inaugurated in 2021 and 7 days later Mackey was arrested... The meme encouraged Hillary supporters to text or vote on the wrong day or something to that effect. The memers argue its satire, mocking the intelligence of her voters I guess. Unless I missed something Carlson repeatedly mischaracterized the state's gripe - he's not being punished for making fun of Hillary, they got him for election misinformation and a jury decided it was meant to deceive voters. The feds argued in court they didn't have to show evidence the meme was taken seriously and actually tricked anyone. So if Trump voters were told to vote on the wrong day that would be a felony worth 10 years.

Apparently the ACLU has taken the state's side and the Huffington Post exposed the guy leading to his arrest and conviction. Interesting case probably headed for appeal, but given recent government censorship and a 'conservative' SCOTUS he might win. The jury convicted him based on 'intent' and now the courts will determine if that matters. I think people should be allowed to post misinformation, the state does it all the time. Like, the vaccine prevents infection and transmission. The state is criminalizing misinformation far beyond lying under oath or to the state.

RFKJr is repeatedly on the record as being against vaccination, including (multiple times) encouraging people to walk up to pregnant strangers and warn them not to vaccinate their baby. This has been in the public record for years.

Kennedy’s claims are false, debunked by his own words. He has promoted false claims about vaccines for years – and said in 2021 that he had personally urged strangers to refrain from vaccinating their babies. He encouraged others to do the same.

Kennedy’s anti-vaccine record has been extensively documented. He has long pushed the debunked claim that there is a link between childhood vaccinations and autism. Among other things, he has also misstated the contents of vaccines, falsely claimed there is convincing evidence that the 1918 influenza pandemic and HIV both originated with vaccine research, and repeatedly touted misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines.

Kennedy's fresh claims of being "not an anti-vaxxer" are campaign lies, nothing more.

Tennessee shooter manifesto leaked... the transwoman who shot up a school of privileged Christian crackers. Steven Crowder published a few pages on X and Rumble because the cops and other social media censored the manifesto in spite of Foia requests. Media not interested, victims were unworthy.

What separates them? I didn't mention a BLM leader's endorsement, I said our VP Kamala Harris was raising $$$ to bail BLM rioters out of jail.

[Berzerker]

BLM was making mint off 'donations' from corporations (Jesse Jackson called the tactic 'shaking the tree') and it was Democrats accusing the cops of being racist murderers. One minute Joe Biden is praising the capital police for Jan 6 and the next he's accusing them of racism because they would have beaten the hell out of black protesters.

PBS calls RFK anti-vaxxer during interview but wont produce the video or quote

state propaganda funded by our taxes

[Berzerker]

Sen Joe Manchin of WV wont run for re-election

Gee... one of the BLM leaders endorse Trump... BLAME THE REPUBLICANS FOR ALL THE BLM PROTESTS.
One more time Berz... BLM is NOT the Democratic Party... They are BLM.
But yet again, keep trying to support your narrative, even if it's all BS.
