Popular Post RupertKBD Posted August 24 Popular Post Share Posted August 24 https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/legend-trump-rally-erupts-for-ousted-maga-sheriff-accused-of-racially-profiling/ar-AA1pl4vo?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=b6c87d2b9ad14e5fb5e8feb4d71cbd79&ei=26 Quote MAGA supporters erupted into cheers on Friday as former President Donald Trump called out longtime Arizona ally and former sheriff Joe Arpaio. "Is that [former] Sheriff Joe?!" Trump shouted at his rally in Glendale, Arizona, appearing to be stunned. Arpaio was ousted as sheriff of Maricopa County — the state's most populous county — and taxpayers were reportedly still paying bills this year stemming from a racial profiling verdict over his immigration crackdowns, according to The Associated Press. That tab was expected to reach $314 million by the middle of 2025. But that didn't dissuade Trump supporters. As he walked away from the podium, the crowd burst into cheers for the former sheriff. "That's [former] Sheriff Joe! Look at that," Trump continued as the lengthy applause continued. "A legend!" Arpaio waved to supporters in a livestream of the event. Trump praised Arpaio's efforts at the border as sheriff, a position he was ousted from seven years ago. "When Joe was at the border you didn't have people coming in," said Trump. "I think for the one year he had one person come in but they got him." The former president called it an "honor" that Arpaio came to his rally, and said he did a "job like nobody else." "It's true," said Trump. "Great going, Joe." Tell us again how the Republican party is not the party of racism.... 2 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 If we want to get into conspiracy theories, here's one for you. This articles postulates that a rich mega donor (or a group of mega donors) were behind RFK Jr dropping out and endorsing Trump: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/as-rfk-jr-backs-trump-here-s-the-secretive-billionaire-plutocrat-funding-them-both/ar-AA1pm3JR?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=adc1f05d966c4c0b944cdd9a52382e11&ei=50 Quote Joining Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump onstage at a campaign rally in Arizona Friday night, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to emphasize what the two share. "We talked about not the values that separate us, because we don't agree on everything, but on the values and issues that bind us together," Kennedy said shortly after suspending his independent presidential bid to throw his support behind Trump. But Kennedy did not mention that he and Trump have in common the same billionaire megadonor, a reclusive heir to a Gilded Age fortune who has pumped over $165 million into the 2024 campaign thus far. Timothy Mellon, the grandson of plutocrat Andrew Mellon, has poured tens of millions of dollars into the campaigns of both Trump and Kennedy, making the secretive billionaire the top individual donor to both. The campaign finance watchdog OpenSecrets noted Friday in an analysis of Mellon's donations that the billionaire "made a $50 million cash infusion to pro-Trump super PAC Make America Great Again, Inc." in July, according to new Federal Election Commission filings. "This brings his total contributions to the group to $125 million this election cycle, including a $50 million check he wrote to the super PAC the day after Trump was convicted of 34 felonies," OpenSecrets added. "Mellon's latest $50 million contribution accounts for over 90% of what MAGA, Inc. raised in July." As for Kennedy, his hybrid PAC American Values 2024 received $25 million from Mellon earlier this year. OpenSecrets observed that Kennedy is quoted on the cover of the billionaire's autobiography, "praising Mellon as a 'maverick entrepreneur.'" "He and Trump both shared the same major donor—billionaire nepo baby Timothy Mellon. RFK Jr.'s campaign was always a MAGA spoiler." Robert Reich, the former U.S. labor secretary, wrote Friday that "it's no surprise" Kennedy dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Trump. Mellon is a member of a powerful group known as "guardian angels," a label "for big donors who supply 40% or more of a committee's funds and are a political group's top contributor," OpenSecrets explained. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 1 hour ago, Smashian Kassian said: I thought the RFK speech was pretty good, specifically the part when he talked about chronic health problems of the country. That doesn't get enough attention in the national conversation (probably due to lobbyists I'd guess). I also got a kick out of him talking about how the corporate press was captured right at the beginning so it would be aired live on those networks. CTV even cut away from it right at that point, effectively making his point. Hilarious. Anyways, strategically its great timing for Trump, only one day after the DNC & they grab the headlines with this endorsement. Roadkill Jr talking about health kind of makes me chuckle. Honestly don't know how anyone can take him seriously. Look at the criticism he levelled at Trump just weeks ago, if he meant any of it he wouldn't be standing with trump. Just curious, what do you mean by corporate media? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RupertKBD Posted August 24 Popular Post Share Posted August 24 This should tell you all you need to know about RFK Jr..... https://apnews.com/article/rfk-kennedy-election-vaccines-2ccde2df146f57b5e8c26e8494f0a16a Quote When 12-year-old Braden Fahey collapsed during football practice and died, it was just the beginning of his parents’ nightmare. Deep in their grief a few months later, Gina and Padrig Fahey received news that shocked them to their core: A favorite photo of their beloved son was plastered on the cover of a book that falsely argues COVID-19 vaccines caused a spike of sudden deaths among healthy young people. The book, called “Cause Unknown,” was co-published by an anti-vaccine group led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President John F. Kennedy’s nephew, who is now running for president. Kennedy wrote the foreword and promoted the book, tweeting that it details data showing “ COVID shots are a crime against humanity.” The Faheys couldn’t understand how Braden’s face appeared on the book’s cover, or why his name appeared inside it. Braden never received the vaccine. His death in August 2022 was due to a malformed blood vessel in his brain. No one ever contacted them to ask about their son’s death, or for permission to use the photo. No one asked to confirm the date of his death — which the book misdated by a year. When the Faheys and residents of their town in California tried to contact the publisher and author to get Braden and his picture taken out of the book, no one responded. Imagine losing your child and then having that grief compounded because some POS wants to use your child's death to further his personal agenda.... He's no better than Alex Jones in my book and a perfect compliment to the POS he's now sucking up to. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have the sense to not openly promote Nazism like Musk is doing though. The sooner the kid gloves are removed and he's forced to answer for his crimes against humanity, the better.
