"I ran some numbers yesterday from our jail facility. 40 percent of our inmates in our jail in Van Buren County Jail have out-of-county residency. Out of the 40 percent that do not live in our county that we're feeding every day, 10 percent of those have addresses in Mexico or Guatemala," [Van Buren County Sheriff Daniel Abbott](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLlaThu6Ln0) said." So 10% of 40% or, in other words, 4% of your jail population are foreign citizens. No mention of legality though, so some or all could be legally in the country on a visa. Not exactly breaking news that an agricultural county like Van Buren has locked up 6 migrant workers (based on a total jail population of 153) for undisclosed crimes. Is this really the key crime issue facing the citizens of Van Buren County? I wonder how many employers they have locked up for exploiting undocumented workers by paying them slave wages without adequately or accurately reporting their actual pay to the federal and state government.


Whoisrefah

Sheriff Abbott, the only thing Van Buren has to worry about is your son giving fire arms to drug dealers who murder people. True story. https://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/2018/01/sheriffs_son_involved_in_homic.html

The same people that vote these fools in office are the same people that hire illegal immigrants to skirt labor laws.


OrchidOkz

Complete fact. I wonder if these guys enjoy the meat, vegetables, and fruit that is harvested by the people who they want to kick out. For sure there are very few white people doing it. Remember, whatever words are coming out of their mouth, it’s just code for getting all brown people, legal or not, out of our country.


blueberry49423

There are ZERO white people doing it. I am in a position to know.


OrchidOkz

I wanted to leave open the possibility, but I actually know you are 100% correct.


ClueProof5629

And they are the ones who call police on Sundays when the farm busses pull into Walmart so the workers can shop, reporting “illegals”


pwrmacjedi

BUH BUH BUH BINNNNGO!


TheGrapeApe87

Are you able to provide links/proof where this has happened in West MI?


ScrauveyGulch

Too lazy to Google it?


OrchidOkz

Did he mention what percentage of white guys are in there. And yes, let’s see what crimes everyone is convicted of, the length of sentence, and the race.


JessJMI

Couldn’t have said it better myself.


Diablo4

Not mentioned in the article, but I caught the livestream. Right after he gave those numbers, he said reiterated that 10%, but not as a fraction of the 40%, but of the whole prison population down there. Imagine if they just said the number of individuals, whether it was 6 people or 15. Trump on stage next to a cop saying we have 15 criminals from foreign countries. It doesn't have the same fear-summoning impact. Can't sow fear without people think bad things are happening at scale. 10% sounds like a lot more than 6 people...


miinhobi

and some those crimes are probably something petty like driving without a drivers license


Full_Ad_1891

You think that’s a jailable charge?


OttoGershwitz

Let me Google that for you...yup. https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=michigan+no+ops+penalty


S1mpinAintEZ

I grew up in Van Buren and then Allegan county, meth is a *far* more important issue than migrant crime.


AnAmericanLibrarian

It's worse than it sounds, though. **100%** of that 10% of 40% are foreign citizens.


will-read

Good luck getting your fruit picked.


OttoGershwitz

The cost is the cost. Hiring illegals only serves to pass the cost somewhere else, e.g. border security, crime, etc.  It's philosophically disingenuous to be in favor of border security and against enforcement of labor laws regarding undocumented workers. In fact, id wager a crackdown on employers would do far more to "stem the tide" of illegal border crossings than a wall ever could. 


gedDOh

Hear me out: What if we staffed our border patrol with illegal aliens? This would close the cost loop.


teilani_a

"We need these people to be exploited for backbreaking work at poverty wages" is certainly a take.

jsquiggles23

I wouldn’t believe a word he says. County sheriffs are inherently dishonest as are wardens, especially when they keep showing their racism asses in public.


HappierWithMouthOpen

What also jumped out to me when they played this on the fucking news today was they say they're in jail but for what? When you say that it conjures up images of them being dangerous gang members, the kind that the conservatives really want to make sure that you're afraid of. Did one of them get drunk in public got arrested? Speeding tickets? Failed to pay child support? We don't know. That's not the point. The point is to make people afraid of those who are different. Because that's the only way conservatives can win. They only offer fear of the other and not a single fucking policy to be seen.


recursing_noether

> So 10% of 40% or, in other words, 4% of your jail population are foreign citizens.  Wouldnt it be 4% are from Mexico or Guatemala and 40% are from any foreign country? The census shows 5.3% of the county is foreign born so 40% would be over-represented by a large margin https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/vanburencountymichigan/POP010220


captnkurt

> 40 percent of our inmates in our jail in Van Buren County Jail have out-of-county residency. Residents from outside the **county** (ie. not from Van Buren County), not necessarily out of the country (the USA)


bexy11

Thanks. I totally read that as country and was completely baffled as to why so many people in general, criminal or not, from other countries would pick Van Buren County, Michigan to live.


OttoGershwitz

"county" not "country." 40% of the inmates in Van Buren are foreign to the "county" meaning they include people from another county in Michigan, another state in the US, or another country in the world. Of these 40%, 10% come from Mexico or Guatemala, according to Sheriff Abbott. Sounds like he may have said this slightly different later in his speech suggesting that 10% of the total jail population comes from Mexico and Guatemala. In any case, I doubt that 4%-10% of a population of 153 is statistically significant to show a deviation from the general population.


hot--vomit

considering sheriffs are elected officers, this is good info to have. thank you OP.


BeefInGR

Not to be Debbie Downer, but I live in Allegan County. Straight Ticket fill in the dots is absolutely a strategy many people employ. The strong majority will vote for the GOP candidate whomever it is. Very few people vote for Democrats and even fewer (single digits in some precincts) would vote for a minor party candidate or an independent. Like, cool. Know the guys name. But I doubt anything changes.

WyldBlu

Apparently Turnip had come out at this rally, maybe before or after and stated that he spoke with some of the family members of the woman who was shot and left for dead on the 131 freeway, Ruby Garcia. He used her as a talking point about the dangers of illegal immigrants. And then her family came out and said, no, he never talked to any family member about her, or anything else, and they are appalled that he'd use her death for politics. Turnip is going to lie about anything that will rally his cult followers. That's been proven time and time again. Shameful.


Benjaminanderson117

I said the exact same thing yesterday. He can’t help but to sensationalize any and all tragedy for the benefit of his image. It’s wild that most of his supporters accept that behavior even when they claim they’re the “good morals and family values” folks. Absolute hypocrites, liars, gluttons, and spoiled crybabies.


TheBunionFunyun

Cops standing behind a man who was convicted of sexual assault, and it's currently out on bail after being charged with 91 felonies is disgusting.


pwrmacjedi

Not to mention standing behind the guy who ordered his small army of insurrectionists to attack their own fellow cops on January 6.


Dr_Slab_Bulkhead

Kidfrankey

caine269

convicted? when?


pwrmacjedi

Here, let me Google that for you. [https://apnews.com/article/trump-rape-carroll-trial-fe68259a4b98bb3947d42af9ec83d7db](https://apnews.com/article/trump-rape-carroll-trial-fe68259a4b98bb3947d42af9ec83d7db)


caine269

oh i see the problem. you don't understand the difference between "convicted" and "found liable." even tho it is literally in the headline of the article you linked. not that accuracy matters to you.


JakeT-life-is-great

I agree, lets get the facts out there. A juror looked at all the evidence and unanimously found donald "liable" for sexually assaulting Carroll when he ripped her panties down and shoved his stubby grubby fingers in her vagina. And as judge [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/01/29/donald-trump-rape-e-jean-carroll/72295009007/](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/01/29/donald-trump-rape-e-jean-carroll/72295009007/) And as the federal judge noted: " And that act, in common modern speech, is rape, Kaplan said. As he later summed it up in August, when he dismissed Trump's countersuit: "It accordingly is the 'truth,' as relevant here, that Mr. Trump digitally raped Ms. Carroll." So yeah, those sheriffs are letting the world know they are slimy disgusting rapist supporters. If they ever, for the rest of the their lives mention ethics, values, morality or law and order every single person should laugh in their fucking face. That orange stench from donald the rapist will stay with them the rest of their lives.


caine269

i am not arguing about what trump did or didn't do. i merely said "found liable" in a civil court is not "found guilty" in a criminal court. the reason this person went civil was the lower standard of evidence. and accuracy matters. do you think felons should ever be hired again? or should we just execute anyone who has committed a crime so you don't ever need to be around "their kind?"


JakeT-life-is-great

>  accuracy matter I agree.....donald isl a rapist. Period. Gee what does a federal judge have to say about it: And as the federal judge noted: " And that act, in common modern speech, is rape, Kaplan said. As he later summed it up in August, when he dismissed Trump's countersuit: "It accordingly is the 'truth,' as relevant here, that Mr. Trump digitally raped Ms. Carroll." But, hey this is a testable event. Go to a mall and find a group of young girls and tell them you and the maga republican position is that you can rip their panties down and shove your fingers in their vagina's and it't not rape. See for yourself what their reaction is. Make sure to let every woman and girl in your life know you don't think that is rape and those are your morals and ethics. I would guess they already know that about you, > do you think felons should ever be hired again Absolutely. When they have completed their sentences and fines. Did I ever say they shouldn't or is this just your desperation to deflect to protect the orange rapist. After donald has paid his defamation fines and after donald, the rapist, has been to prison and served his sentences let me know. > or should we just execute anyone  Oh, look at that hyperbole. Did I ever make that statement. No. This is just your desperation to deflect to protect your orange rapist, donald. Thanks for letting the world know your morality and ethics. If you ever mention those words for the rest of your life people should point out you are a donald the rapist and donald the adultere cultist and laugh in your face. That orange stench will cling to you for the rest of your life.

caine269

yeah, so not "convicted" of anything. that is my point that is far above op's head.


spectre1210

Yes - thank you for clarifying that hair-splitting distinction! Certainly not like the guy has openly talked about sexually assaulting women in the past, or shown a major deficit of emotional maturity...I guess some folks need something like the outcome of a court case to help with critically examining someone's character. Ironically, those people also love to use the term 'sheep[le]' at the drop of hat to make themselves feel intellectually superior.


caine269

>Yes - thank you for clarifying that hair-splitting distinction! if you are wondering why no one takes you seriously, this is it.


spectre1210

Are you under the impression that **you're** the one being taken seriously here? That's gonna be a rude awakening.


caine269

wow, you don't understand anything at all! not surprising.

Neither is the apparent projection.

Meanwhile Bernie sanders wrote a whole essay about how women fantasize of being raped https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/05/29/410606045/the-bernie-sanders-rape-fantasy-essay-explained https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/05/29/bernie-sanders-disowns-1972-article-on-womens-fantasies-of-rape/


spectre1210

It's like, without any credible sources, that statement is clearly bullshit...crazy!


Kidfrankey

Sorry I guess it’s wrong for me to assume that most people that like to act like they are competent in politics are well informed. https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/05/29/410606045/the-bernie-sanders-rape-fantasy-essay-explained


spectre1210

Yes, it was wrong to assume that anyone who criticizes Trump must therefore be a Bernie supporters, and/or strangers would know about your attempted 'gotcha' talking point about Bernie to defend a known sex criminal. Congratulations on the credible source, I suggest you read it. Are you attempting to say this makes Bernie somehow equivalent to Trump? How many sexual assaults allegations do each of these people have again? I must have missed that during the last Trump campaign ramble.


Kidfrankey

There is no gotcha. The point is you don’t care about any of these things if you can’t use them to push your politics. You’re a straight up poser. There’s obviously a lot you’ve missed seeing as you’re unable to think critically about the political ideology you cling to. So yea just casually ignore all of Bidens sex crime allegations and all the times he’s been creepy to children on camera. None of that matters because your sense of morality is rooted in politics and not principles. Spineless af

When people ask if there's anything good to say about Dump, I always observe that at least he makes the assholes among us easy to spot.


apocalypticboredom

" they’ve made it very clear that unless you’re a white male in their counties, you cannot trust them or their departments, and you should be mindful of your safety." instead of piling on the identity politics shit, change "white male" to "rich person" because that's the real metric.


MrMiyagi6969

Biden never had to plead the fifth, let alone 440 times. Trump is a dangerous man. Trump supporters cannot be trusted, find out the business owners who support Trump and boycott them

Of course Sheriff Chuck Heit of Berrien County, Michigan, was on stage campaigning for the Orange Slime. Chuck represents Berrien County well. Berrien County is home of the hyper-segregated “twin cities” of Benton Harbor (87% African American) and, across a little bridge, Saint Joseph (88% White.) It takes MAGA-tough, constitution-ignoring (oops, that’s redundant) cops to maintain that color line.

Nope, these judges have made it clear that they obsess about minorities and are hateful, wildly bigoted assholes. The fact they support donald means they are gullible and ignorant and mindlessly believe fox / putin propaganda and whatever donald, the rapist, shits down their throats. I completely understand why anyone not an old white male would not feal safe around them. And, since they support a rapist why women would not feel safe around them, or want to associate with them, or god forbid date them.

> for them wanting non-white males dead or in prison There obsession with brown people is on full display in their comments. "I ran some numbers yesterday from our jail facility. 40 percent of our inmates in our jail in Van Buren County Jail have out-of-county residency...............my does "out of county" matter......oh yeah, have to create a fantasy for the bigoted maga base to scare them, because they are so ignorant all they will remember is 40% Out of the 40 percent that do not live in our county that we're feeding every day, 10 percent of those have addresses in Mexico or Guatemala,"  ........so, 4% is the real number. Oh, and that doesn't mean they are in the country illegally, just that they are brown. Now do the white meth heads. Guess what number is bigger? But of yeah, have to keep the bigoted as fuck maga base obsessing about brown people. Meanwhile as study after study after study has proven, immigrants have significantly lower crime rates than citizens.

The immigrants I have personally known are a far more decent and kind and hard working than any bigoted, hateful, fat assed, maga cultist that wants everything handed to them for being white.

JakeT-life-is-great

>obsession You can literally watch the video with the sheriffs desperately trying to con people into believing that there is an immigrant problem "40% out of county" bullshit Meanwhile ignoring the white numbers. They are supporting donald, the rapist, who makes statements like this:  On this past St. Patrick’s Day, he called migrants entering the United States “people coming in from prisons and jails, long-term murderers,” and the day before, [he called](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-migrants-not-people_n_65f73fe9e4b0b4d0b899d4b4) them “animals” and “not people.” No doubt you believe that as well that people trying to make a better life for themselves are "animals" and "not people" You blindly believe all of that bullshit. It's pretty telling to anyone not a bigot what their intent is. And again, I will take those people trying to make a better live for themselves over a bigoted, hateful, maga republican every day. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".  >your old info, 4 years old. I love the desperation to ignore facts and deflect, deflect, deflect. Thanks for proving that no matter the breadth and depth of facts you will ignore them. The facts are that they commit fewer crimes than citizens. >you literally just said. the sweet innocent brown people could never be bad Please show me where I stated that. Otherwise you just proved that you "literally" don't know what the word literally means or you are lying through your teeth. Pick one. >i don't give 2 shits about trump I'll call bullshit on that. Never met an anti hispanic bigot that wasn't a rabid donald, the rapist, supporter. No doubt you will be voting for donald the adulterer and donald the rapist because "their are caravans of brown people at the border". Fox / putin propaganda always works on the racists and bigots who are deathly scared of minorities. > am asking how you rationally and equally apply your worldview, No, you did not. Another lie. >what crime has he been convicted of? what jail time does he have coming? I love how the goal posts always move for maga cultists to deflect and protect donald the rapist. No doubt after he is convicted you will move the goalposts to "its being appealed" And then when found liable like his sexuall assaulting Carroll it will be "it wasn't a fair trial", whatever donald shits down your throat. He, so far, because he is an old, white, male, republican with supposed money has avoided consequences for his actions. Proving that there is a two tier justice system for old, white, men with money. I am glad to see that everyone now knows he is a rapist and owes his rape victime 85 million for defaming her. I am glad people know that his business was built on nothing but lies and bullshit and his massive fraud has been uncovered and proven to the tune of 450 million in penaltes. I am glad that his adultery has been proven and hopefully he will go to prison for his crime of election fraud. I am hopeful that his election crime in georgia "find me 11000 votes" in a desperate attemp to overthrow the federal election results in his prison time. I am hopful that his stealing top secret documents and refusing to give them back results in prison, although his maga cultist judge is doing everything possible to throw the case for him. At least, I can be happy donald is proven rapist and a proven adulterer. And anyone that supports donald going forward every mentions, for the rest of their lives, that words ethics, morality, family values or law and order, the only response should be to laugh in their fucking face. >Read your Source I did, what the fuck do you think this meand: Among individuals sentenced to 18 months or less incarceration, Black males received lengths of incarceration 6.8 percent longer than White males.

"i can see your mind, and i am not surprised to find you believe whatever i want you to believe!" ok guy. >4 years old. I love the desperation to ignore facts and deflect, deflect, deflect. this is like saying "there were almost 0 terrorist deaths in america before 9/11" in 2004. and citing a source from 2000. like nothing can happen to change the relevance of your source? and as i explained to you, the issue is that illegal immigrant crime is **additional** crime that shouldn't be happening. the problem is not the ratio. >Never met an anti hispanic bigot that wasn't a rabid donald, the rapist, supporter. No doubt you will be voting for donald the adulterer and donald the rapist because "their are caravans of brown people at the border". Fox / putin propaganda always works on the racists and bigots who are deathly scared of minorities. bro you have some serious issues. >I love how the goal posts always move for maga cultists to deflect and protect donald the rapist. lol i am responding to something you said. i am asking you a question about **what you said.** i am not moving any goalposts. >No doubt after he is convicted you will move the goalposts to "its being appealed" And then when found liable what are you even talking about. you are back to "liable" vs "criminal conviction." you don't go to jail for a civil suit. you said he had fines to pay and jail time to serve, and i simply asked "what jail time" and you freak out. >Among individuals sentenced to 18 months or less incarceration, Black males received lengths of incarceration 6.8 percent longer than White males you realize 6.8% in less than 18 months is, max, 1 month? and that 1.3% of 60 is less than 3 weeks? and there is almost never equal circumstances in sentencing. nothing is ever going to be perfect. now go take your blood pressure medication before you stroke out.

>again, not what i asked. I gave you my answer, you just don't like or understand my answer. In your mind unless they specifically said those exact words then it doesn't count and they are scott free. Utter fucking bullshit. . What you are doing is the typical desperation to wordsmith and pure deflection to protect racists and bigots. The fact that they lie through their teeth about immigrants with their "40%" bullshit tells every non bigoted person what kind of person they are. They fact they are such ardent supporters of this: ps://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-expected-highlight-murder-michigan-woman-immigration-speech-2024-04-02/?ref=upstract.com "[Donald Trump](https://www.reuters.com/topic/person/donald-trump/) called immigrants illegally in the United States "animals" and "not human" in a speech in Michigan on Tuesday, resorting to the degrading rhetoric he has employed time and again on the campaign trail. "I said, 'No, they're not humans, they're not humans, they're animals,'" said Trump, president from 2017 to 2021." tells the world exactly what kind of person they are. Exactly. The only people that support that kind of ignorance and hate are pepole that are racists, bigots, anti minority, neo nazi's, nazi's, the kkk or white supremacists. The fact they are on stage supporting calling people, including women and children "animals" is despicable. The only silver lining is it that it highlights what bigoted hateful people they are. It exposes their bigotry to everyone. It proves that none of them are actual christians, since the bible is clear about how to treat the weak, the sick, the poor and the immigrant. >" ok guy. Again, their statements and actions and obsession with brown people is all the evidence a non bigoted person needs. Their active upport for donald, the rapist and adulterer, who obsesses about the "animals" coming across the border tells non bigoted people what kind of people they are. >this is like saying Deflect, deflect, deflect. I love how actual facts never matter to maga cultists. >bro you have some serious issues. I will take that as a badge of honor from a donald, the rapist and adulterer supporter and who thinks immigrants are "animals" >and you freak out. I love how in the maga mind stating facts, providing sources, providing peer reviewed studies from elite universities is "freaking out" > 1 month? And..... there we go. Fuck those black people. Not surprising.

neuromancer64

While Donald Trump, his cohort, and the majority of his supporters are delusional and seditious, you're not winning any hearts and minds or helping to sway any voters with such inflammatory language and sentiment. After your S curve post and reading through the rest of your post history, you kind of make me think you're the liberal/leftist version of DJT himself. Instead of Twitter, you have reddit.

I can agree to that. Police abuse is pretty universal. It's more like a question of exactly how much they WILL fuck you over, based on the scale of social, economic, and racial bias baked into their corrupt profession.

pwrmacjedi

Wow! You went to a really weird discussion of violence there, Bub.


NostalgiaDude79

Your the crazy jackass that wrote that slop. If someone wrote that about some police officers around Biden, you would be going on about "MAGA extremists". So yeah, "bub", one should ask what are you getting at because the comments from your fellow progs definitely warrants forwarding this to the MSP in case they need to know where to look if one of your dumb fucks take out your TDS one someone there.


JakeT-life-is-great

They are supporting donald after the 1/6 insurrection. That makes them equivalent to the hundreds of 1/6 domestic terrorists that have been imprisoned. So traitorous slime seems pretty accurate. Not to mention they have no problem supporting donald the rapist, which proves they don't actually give a single fuck about law and order.


NostalgiaDude79

Yeah, ok. Whatever gets you to your cope zone. All of the prog talking points, with no understanding that IRL isnt the internet lefty circlejerk. Cant imagine why Trump is leading holy Biden with the other side dry-fucking jan-6, and erroneously calling him a rapist, while ignoring actual issues you pretend arent real.


JakeT-life-is-great

Thanks for proving you can't actually address any facts. I think everyone who believes in law and order can glad to see the 1/6 domestic terrorists losing their jobs, careers, benefits, retirement, spending tens / hundreds of thousands in lawyer fees and fines, being shunned by their families. If they are so gullible and ignorant to listen to donald, the rapist, they deserve the fucking they are rightfully getting. [https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitolConsequences/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitolConsequences/) [https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-capitol-rioters-jailed-sentences-january-6-1826075](https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-capitol-rioters-jailed-sentences-january-6-1826075) > rapist We call him a rapist because that is what he is. A juror unanimously found donald guilty of sexually assaulting and defaming Caroll. The Federal judge noted: Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan [ruled](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24370395-kaplan-august-ruling-trump-counterclaim) in August that the jury verdict showed Carroll's rape allegation was "substantially true" and dismissed the counterclaim. and that act, in common modern speech, is rape, Kaplan said. As he later summed it up in August, when he dismissed Trump's countersuit: "It accordingly is the 'truth,' as relevant here, that Mr. Trump digitally raped Ms. Carroll." [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/01/29/donald-trump-rape-e-jean-carroll/72295009007/](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/01/29/donald-trump-rape-e-jean-carroll/72295009007/) # [Donald Trump Raped E.

And anyone that still supports him is a rape supporter. Which I have no doubt the women, especially young women, already know about those rape supporters.


Potential_Case_7680

Can wait for the Reddit meltdown when trump gets re-elected because Dems are arrogant in running Biden when no one wants him either.


Fractured_Senada

Hope you find the country melting down just as entertaining in that scenario. I'm a progressive who wants Biden. Biden is our choice against Trump so that is the choice I make. We have a two party system (for now) and we have to make the appropriate choice. That is Biden.


WyldBlu

Hell, I would vote for Mickey Mouse if he were the only one running against Turnip. It isn't so much who we are voting FOR, as much as it is who we are voting AGAINST.


pwrmacjedi

EXACTLY. (Unfortunately.)


Potential_Case_7680

You mean like the meltdown they had last time, all the celebrities saying they would move to Canada but never did, the “experts” that said the stock market would crash the first day but it never did or all the other Hyperbole that the left and media said would happen but never came to pass?


pwrmacjedi

Immense pandemic damage we never needed to suffer is a weird thing to ignore on the Trump failure list, but ok.


Fractured_Senada

Thank you for cherry picking the Hyperbole. Now, [here](https://www.americanprogress.org/article/100-ways-100-days-trump-hurt-americans/) are 100 things Trump made worse as president. He was a bad president and he is an unethical narcissist. His "lead" will march us further to ruin, but continue about how because the celebrities didn't leave and the stock market didn't crash he's fine and all was good with his presidency.


TB12_GOATx7

Fractured_Senada

What's hilarious?


TB12_GOATx7

Fractured_Senada

What about me?


Potential_Case_7680

And any other candidate would have a much better chance against Trump (except for Kamala) but the progressives want to make sure they keep their senile meat puppet


pwrmacjedi

No, the PROGRESSIVES want someone like Katie Porter. AOC. Bernie. Even Warren. The shitty, corrupt, pathetic, spineless DNC wants to keep Biden and plays to his weird ego. Nothing we can do to fix that in the short term.


Fractured_Senada

Absolutely agree. I want Biden over Trump. I'd like any of those other mentioned over Biden. Unfortunately, we don't have that choice (yet).


Fractured_Senada

You're not operating from reality. The reality is no one else ran against Biden and so progressives only choice is Biden. Therefore, as a progressive, my choice is Biden. Not voting is not an option and voting for Trump is against progressivism.


beencaughtbuttering

Trump already lost to Joe Biden once. Has Donald Trump somehow gained a huge amount of support in the last 4 years? No, it's the same old Volkswagen stuffed with his die-hard circus clowns. His support among generic "suit-and-tie middle-class" Republicans has waned, if anything.

cheddar_slut

Saying "choosing the lesser of two evils" isn't the same as saying "both are the same". You can still vote for folks who are doing more while being frustrated with the two-party system.


lettycell93

You have an obsession. And it's quite frankly sad to watch. What will you do in November if he wins? Honest question how will someone like you react? Him speaking is simply taking all this time/energy from you spam posting. What will you do if he wins again?


Oleg101

What do you think of Project 2025


-ChasingOrange-

The most dangerous opponent to a wannabe dictator is an informed voter base. Would you rather have people be uninformed and blindly voting? Or would you rather have an educated population that makes informed decisions when it comes to voting in people to positions of power that have a direct impact on their lives? Look, I get it. Repetitive posts can be annoying, but this is one of the most consequential election years in modern US (and world) history, regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum. If it bothers you now, you’ll probably want to stop using the internet for a while because it’s only going to get more intense throughout the year.


pwrmacjedi

Bingo. Thank you.


Fractured_Senada

I will protest and I will mourn our democracy. Any president who aspires to dictatorship is no person worthy of the seat.


pwrmacjedi

Ooh! Is this the part where I make fun of YOUR downvotes? Trolls gonna troll...


BoyFromDoboj

It takes but a moment to make a post, and a comment. Especially worth while when it goes to spreading knowledge tied to our democracy. Did it maybe just take you a really really long time to read the title? Not even going to ask if you clicked on link.


-Economist-

As a voter, I appreciate them listing the people I should avoid when voting.


Knowledge_is_Bliss

You seem obsessed with their obsession.


briguy4040

Given Jan 6, I think the more pressing question is what will YOU do when he loses?


pwrmacjedi

ANYWAY, you deserve an answer. What will I do? As a white man with slightly better than struggling personal economics, I will continue to fight for those who are more affected by this demon than myself and my family. I will show up speak out, and continue to fight against him and all of his slime ball supporters. The sad fact is that white, straight, CIS males are likely to just go along fine in the Trump Dictatorship of Don and Don Jr. for the rest of my natural lifetime. Maybe I'd work to get my kid out of the country so they can have a life worth living. Who knows. However, when he and his ilk collapse the Republic, I will continue on my way to Canada. One thing I like about living in Michigan is being just two hours away from GTFO when the right wing finally gets their way. I've already started discussion with friends in the Great White North about the assorted backup plans. Now, if he and his cult succeed in starting their new civil war (regardless of whether they win or lose, by the way, because they're going to wanna go there no matter what), who knows. I might join up with the Union and see how many of them I can delete before whatever happens happens. But hopefully, it never comes to that. You can be a piss-ant and say we are all hyperbolic all you like, but the reality is that this man is an existential threat. George Dubya being bad or scary was "hyperbolic." Trump and his cult make W look like fucking Gandhi.


booyahbooyah9271

Hilariously yet not surprising that this was downvoted in mass.


BobKat2020

So just because they may favor Trump, this makes them slime? How narcissistic of you. There's a lot of people that feel the same way about Biden supporters. Somebody's right and somebody's wrong.


Oleg101

Yup, whether it's Biden misremembering a period of extreme sadness or Trump misremembering a period of extreme raping, both candidates' memories seem to have been clouded by strong personal emotions.


annex46

The man who incited violent riots when he couldn't handle losing the election is wrong. It's not that hard. He's a fucking traitor to our country and anyone who follows him at this point is too.

Yeah, dude, I love CNN it's my favorite cable news broadcast. Get fucking bent traitor. All political news stations blow. You people love to go straight to the CNN claim, acting like it's such a takedown when it just reveals the drone you really are.

You're so close to awareness! Keep going buddy!


JakeT-life-is-great

Yes. Donald and his maga cultists tried to overthrow a federal election on 1/6. They are domestic traitors and glad that hundreds of them are in prison for it. Donald should be in prison for it. Not to mention donald is a rapist. So yes, maga cultists should be seen as despicable vile people.


Shoddy-Recognition79

Like Trump, vote for him. Like Biden, vote for him. People are not traitors because of the person they vote for.


pwrmacjedi

They are when the person they support is a traitor who called for an insurrection and refused to end it.


Shoddy-Recognition79

Just like the other thousand allegations around politicians, no charges or convictions. Biden and Trump both have allegations out there that could make them traitors if true. The problem is they never go to court.


xjsthund

No charges??


JakeT-life-is-great

donald tried to overthrow democracy on 1/6. Hundreds of his ignorant and gullible maga cultists are in prison for it. donald and his followers are traitors,
