Joe Ferguson forever

I’ll just leave this here. Great piece by a fellow Catholic appalled by Cardinal Dolan https://dnyuz.com/2024/10/19/trumps-charity-toward-none/ As Anne Applebaum points out in The Atlantic, Trump uses the language of Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini to rouse hate and violence. This, while sacrilegiously calling Jan. 6 a “day of love.” He compares the jailed rioting thugs to the Japanese interned in World War II. It’s not a big leap to saying migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” and calling his political opponents “vermin,” given his belief — inherited from his father with the “big heart” — in superior genes and blood lines. This past week, he called Democrats “evil,” “dangerous” and the “enemy from within,” limning them as a bigger threat than Russia and China, a threat that he said might require him to sic the military on his opponents. He denounced the national treasure Nancy Pelosi — who is a devout Catholic — and her husband — who was attacked with a hammer by a far-right conspiracy theorist — as “sick” and “evil.”

exhausted...and Bongino is a class act https://www.yahoo.com/news/exhausted-trump-t-interview-home-163150412.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall More RECEIPTS for you *****sticks. Here’s the email from the Trump team confirming the schedule. Notice, he was scheduled until 11a. He stayed until after 11 because HE WAS COMING FROM ANOTHER INTERVIEW at Fox and was a few mins behind. He then stayed an extra ten minutes to… Show more Then, shortly after this article was published, Bongino sent the Daily Beast what he described as “receipts” showing Trump did not end the interview early (along with the charming note, “Does your mother tell her friends she has no living children out of embarrassment for having spawned such an embarrassing piece of s--t?”) But in the screenshot of an email in which Trump’s team confirmed the interview, it clearly shows it was meant to be an hour long. Instead of staying for the full time he agreed to be live with Bongino and pushing back his next event, Trump ended the sit-down after a little more than 30 minutes.

FIFY, again. Doesn't appear any serious watch collectors are interested. Watches are status symbols. This watch would lower your status in most settings. btw, wearing a gold Hamilton self winding to a baptism later today. not super valuable except to me. was my fathers. some things aren't about dollars.

Experts quoted in this "Intelligencer" article agree with you “The watch is claimed to use a ‘TX07 Tourbillon’ with 105 hours of power reserve, but finding any record of such a movement online is tricky. Watch commentator Nico Leonard van der Horst said in an Instagram post: ‘This is hilarious … the manufacturer of this movement is Olivier Mory, who ironically is known for making very affordable Tourbillons half made in China, half made in Switzerland.’ Van der Horst added: ‘If you were to buy this movement and put it in your own watch, you would be able to buy it for under $3.5k.’” https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/are-trumps-swiss-made-watches-from-wyoming.html How many times do MAGAs need to be reminded that the guy is crooked as a barrel of fish hooks?

the $100k watch is reportedly made in China. The mechanism in a similar case should go for less than $5K. He's a prince...

Nope. It's illegal. It's dishonest. And we know that doesn't concern you at all....

Disagree emphatically. What if your biz competitor grossly overstated assets and abilities? Nope, McCain and Romney were solid free market, liberty loving, patriots. Palin was/is just stupid.

yes, he enlisted a Buffalo Mob to slander. FIFY So if one of your competitors in biz slandered you, it would be OK?

No. https://www.vice.com/en/article/trumps-war-on-jon-bon-jovi-could-smash-his-empire/ https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-shady-scheme-to-buy-nfl-buffalo-bills Trump tapped longtime political ally Michael Caputo to help fan rumors that the rocker and his Canadian financial backers were planning to move the team to Toronto, as part of a plan to turn local sentiment against the rock star. The plan worked—to a degree. Local Bills fans turned against the singer of “Livin’ on a Prayer” and declared local bars “Bon Jovi–Free Zones.” In the end, Trump didn’t get the Bills, and neither did Bon Jovi. The winning $1.4 billion bid was filed by Terry Pegula, owner of the Buffalo Sabres hockey team. Bon Jovi later insisted he never planned to take the Bills out of Buffalo. He called the battle “scarring.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-nfl-owner-buffalo-bills-1235105227/ For more than 30 years, he was desperate to own a team. After his bid to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014 was rejected, he vowed payback on an epic scale

Maybe because he's the greatest threat to the American way as I imagine it. Probably not the way you do. Perspective...Oh, and he tried to cheat his way into owning the Bills. Someone here posted the sordid story. So it's relevant.

It's hyperbole. But should trump become fuhrer he could take ownership of the Bills which he has wanted for many years.

He cried to Simon that I threatened him in a thread. Simon came in, agreed I didn't and chastised him for wasting his time. hasn't been back since.

one side wants trump to control the Bills, One side absolutely doesn't.

So how does that translate with his wishes for America’s future?

500k casualties on both sides. You ought to fact check trump as closely https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/116768/documents/HHRG-118-ZS00-20240130-SD002.pdf At least they ask the question. Why don’t you answer it?

Totally relevant. It will go very differently if trump wins. Here’s a thought. Trump was up for reelection in 2020. Had Putin successfully overtaken Ukraine without US involvement, it would have hurt his chances. The long game is more important. Ok. But why does Russia want trump to win?

They despise facts. Can you imagine how things are going to run when morons like this are in charge?

So Putin doesn’t want us out of Ukraine and NATO? What does he want? Why interfere with our elections?

Do you think Putin wants us out of Ukraine? Do you think what he wanted was to lose 500000 troops and 1/3 of his navy?

He wants America weakened and the idea of Democracy to be sullied. He also wants more personal wealth and power. When musk was told he was the richest man in the world, he replied that was Putin.

Yup. There’s the difference. If Kamala wins, the fascists will riot on command. If trump wins, D’s will watch and wait but will be ready to leave knowing the country we love is likely finished.
