Quote:BET: CBS News correspondent Nikole Killion travels down to the battleground state of Georgia to talk to Black voters and community activists about the upcoming presidential election. With the economy, foreign relations, and reproductive rights on a lot of voters’ minds, community leaders are trying to encourage the Black community to get out to the polls in November and make their voices heard. Barber Johnny Daniel explained why he is voting for Trump in 2024 after voting for Biden in 2020. "Why did you vote for President Biden in the last election?" Killion asked. "Because of who he ran with," Daniel said. "And he was in the White House for the 8 previous years. I felt like he had the experience. But, definitively, right now I couldn't tell you that if they opened the polls tomorrow that I'm voting for Joe Biden." "So what changed?" Killion asked. "Life," Daniel said. "The inflation and the things that we're going through right now. I want the right person so that I'm not paying $8 for eggs, $15 for gas." "This is the worst it's ever been in my life," Daniel said. "I would have never even considered voting for Donald Trump but living in America these last 4, it's a consideration." Killion also spoke to Azad Ahmadi, a member of the Georgia Black Republicans, and his girlfriend Alexandria, a registered Democrat. In an incredible exchange, Ahmadi told an incredulous Killion that the Democratic party is no longer "suitable" for the goals that he has: KILLION: In 2008 and 2012 you voted for? AZAD AHMADI: Barack Obama. ALEXANDRIA: Barack Obama. KILLION: 2016? AHMADI: I voted for Donald Trump. ALEXANDRIA: Hillary Clinton. KILLION: 2020? AHMADI: Donald Trump. ALEXANDRIA: Biden. KILLION: And who will you vote for in 2024? AHMADI: Donald Trump. ALEXANDRIA: Donald Trump. KILLION: You may vote for the former president? ALEXANDRIA: I may. KILLION: And why do you say that? ALEXANDRIA: My views on certain things have changed. I am very much so right on the fence. KILLION: What are you struggling with? ALEXANDRIA: Being in a pattern of doing the same thing that I've been doing because it's like second nature. You're going to go into the poll, you're going to hit Democrat. Something has to happen. I mean it's just so expensive to survive. And we're planning on having kids. I don't want to live in a stressful environment trying to rub two pennies together to make it either. KILLION: When did you make that decision to check a different box? AHMADI: Donald Trump's first term. I'm saying first term because I'm pretty sure he'll be in there for a second term soon. In either case, post-Obama I decided that the party just wasn't suitable to the goals that I have. KILLION: How did you come to that conclusion? Because at the end of the day, former President Obama was the first African-American president in history. AHMADI: This is true. KILLION: As a black man, I would assume that meant something. AHMADI: Absolutely. I attended the inauguration in his first term. I grew up outside of Washington, D.C. in the '80s and '90s, came through the system as an institutional Democrat, went through a lot of the experiences that young black men go through. Good and bad. Ending up leaving that environment. Grew up. Starting looking at the world through a new lens. BET cut off the rest of his answer.

Unfortunately for angry poor white trash, it is the illegals or non-citizens who can carry guns, thanks to Trumptards' interpretation of the Constitution, and kill as many Trumptards on the street as they please, and not go to the authorities after killing Trumptards. It's called Freedom, 6ix, to be the biggest success or failure you can be. You have chosen to be a failure, 6ix, but non-citizens choose success since they had to put in tremendous effort to be in America while you and Trump have not made any effort at all. Not surprising that Trump, despite inheriting a $billion and citizenship, has always been in trouble. Don't feel bad because most Trumptards don't make sufficient effort to make success a certainty, despite being born citizens, just as you did not. All the Trumptards I know think it is their Constitutional Right to be successful, but that is not a Right in the Constitution. Carrying a gun is a Right. https://www.google.com/search?q=does+the+bill+of+rights+only+apply+to+citizens 6ix, I realize why you mock me for working at 71 years old. You are angry that you are unsuccessful because you haven't worked since your 30's. You can't believe work for pay is an essential ingredient for success. You believe being successful despite also being lazy and shiftless is a Constitutional Right.

Quote:Originally posted by second: House Republican giggles over Hitler praise — and admits he never listens to Trump By Kathleen Culliton, Matt Laslo | March 12, 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/trump-hitler-2667497580/ WASHINGTON — A Republican House representative burst into laughter Tuesday when a Raw Story reporter asked him to comment on former President Donald Trump's remarks praising autocrats that included Adolf Hitler. "You guys still paying attention to what Trump says?" Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) said with a giggle. "Oh my God ... journalists never learn." Harris, a Freedom Caucus member whose ties to Trump include attendance at a meeting in 2020 to discuss keeping the former president in the White House, admitted that he does not listen to the words that come out of the leading Republican presidential candidate's mouth. "You guys don't listen to Trump?" Raw Story asked. "No, of course not!" Harris said. "You look at what he does, not what he says." Harris' assertion comes as the release of a new book — "The Return of Great Powers" by CNN's Jim Sciutto — details warnings from former Trump advisers over their onetime boss' admiration for autocrats. https://www.amazon.com/Return-Great-Powers-Russia-China-ebook/dp/B0CDFTP82H/ https://libgen.is//search.php?req=Jim+Sciutto “He likes dealing with other big guys, and big guys like Erdogan in Turkey get to put people in jail and you don’t have to ask anybody’s permission,” John Bolton, who served as national security adviser under Trump, told Sciutto. "He kind of likes that.” Retired Marines General John Kelly told Sciutto he convinced Trump to stop praising the Nazi leader who masterminded the Holocaust by arguing Italian's fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was "a great guy in comparison.” "Hitler did some good things," Trump said, according to Kelly. "[Hitler] rebuilt the economy." This prompted Kelly to note what Hitler did with that thriving economy: "He turned it against his own people and against the world. "I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing.'" News of this exchange came as a surprise to Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), who told Raw Story he "didn't know anything about" Trump's professed admiration for strong men leaders and added, "That's crazy." Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) came to Trump's defense, telling Raw Story he believed Trump's praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin was simply respect for an intelligent adversary. "Somebody could be dastardly ... but they could still be smart," Meuser said. But he added, "I'm not going to get into Hitler." Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) echoed Meuser's adversary argument and accused Kelly of stirring up a fuss because he did not have a war to fight. "All these old generals, retire, go home, enough is enough," Nehls said. "Oh come on. Praising Hitler? They take that all out of context."

Quote:Originally posted by second: Congressional hearing on the Biden classified documents probe turns into a proxy campaign battle Republicans, meanwhile, insisted Trump was being unfairly singled out and vilified, questioning how the two cases were really all that different. Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., called it a “glaring double standard.” “Donald Trump’s being prosecuted for exactly the same act that you documented Joe Biden committed,” he told Hur. But there were major differences between the two probes. Biden’s team returned the documents after they were discovered, and the president cooperated with the investigation by voluntarily sitting for an interview and consenting to searches of his homes. Trump, by contrast, is accused of enlisting the help of aides and lawyers to conceal the documents from the government and seeking to have potentially incriminating evidence destroyed. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/special-counsel-hur-set-testify-house-committee-handling-108035018 The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

I've always said that I'm sure I'll go back to work for a few years here and there to bolster the nest egg, whenever I feel like doing so and completely on my terms. Not only that, but through decades of training myself to live an extremely minimalist lifestyle I'll be able to live on so little income that I'd qualify for just about every other non-taxable safety net program out there which will probably double my retirement income. The only way I'm not set up in retirement is if the US Government goes bust, and at that point we're all up the creek without a paddle and I'll worry about that bridge when I cross it. Don't worry about me in the meantime, buddy. I have skills and I have tools. I'll never be homeless or begging on the street.
