So once again, the felon has used music unauthorised by the artist and / or their record company.

I hope they sue the arse off the entitled prick for copyright infringement.

That's Don Henley's department.

Trump and Vance. The greatest comedy duo since Abbott and Costello.

According to Vance, all menopausal women are good for is looking after their grandchildren. MORON!

Rumour has it this the next background song for GOP's campaign.

LIBERALFASCISMBOOK.jpg.b9c2e325d9c7df5edac67cdc37760285.jpgSynopsis:

Fierce, funny, and controversial, Jonah Goldberg's #1 New York Times bestseller traces fascism back to its surprising roots--in liberalism.

“Fascists,” “Brownshirts,” “jackbooted stormtroopers”—such are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents. Calling someone a fascist is the fastest way to shut them up, defining their views as beyond the political pale. But who are the real fascists in our midst?

Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics. Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler's National Socialism and Mussolini's Fascism.

Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term “National socialism”). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities—where campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist.

Do these striking parallels mean that today’s liberals are genocidal maniacs, intent on conquering the world and imposing a new racial order? Not at all. Yet it is hard to deny that modern progressivism and classical fascism shared the same intellectual roots. We often forget, for example, that Mussolini and Hitler had many admirers in the United States. W.E.B. Du Bois was inspired by Hitler's Germany, and Irving Berlin praised Mussolini in song. Many fascist tenets were espoused by American progressives like John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR incorporated fascist policies in the New Deal.

Fascism was an international movement that appeared in different forms in different countries, depending on the vagaries of national culture and temperament. In Germany, fascism appeared as genocidal racist nationalism. In America, it took a “friendlier,” more liberal form. The modern heirs of this “friendly fascist” tradition include the New York Times, the Democratic Party, the Ivy League professoriate, and the liberals of Hollywood. The quintessential Liberal Fascist isn't an SS storm trooper; it is a female grade school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore.

These assertions may sound strange to modern ears, but that is because we have forgotten what fascism is. In this angry, funny, smart, contentious book, Jonah Goldberg turns our preconceptions inside out and shows us the true meaning of Liberal Fascism.

Nice try, but you fail again.  It makes sense that you fall in line and post a lefty meme calling the right weird. It's the new go to word for all the lefty talking heads so it makes sense that you'd post this bullshit.

If the right is weird then the left is downright perverted. Pushing drag queens and trans on little kids, wanting tampons in the boys bathroom cause you know, there might be a boy having his period. Gaslighting young people into thinking they really can become the other sex if they just mutilate their bodies with drugs and surgeries that cannot be undone. Allowing criminals be roam the streets to recommit crimes time and time again. Yeah, that's what you are voting for and you think the right is weird.

If I'm weird for wanting my right to own a gun to be uninfringed as it literally says in the constitution, wanting crime curtailed and criminals to be prosecuted, wanting low prices for energy, low gas prices,  lower prices for groceries then by all means call me weird. I'll wear that badge all day long.

call me extremely weird

So according to "The Felon", the Presidential Award is better and more important than the Medal of Honor for Valor!?

I'm sure the many past and present service men and women who actually saw combat firsthand (some who presumably are members of this forum), would be impressed with that comment from the coward who dodged the draft and never served his country along with Vance who defended his comment and had a plum non combative job in the military.

On top of that he reckons he's better looking than Harris? If he looks in a mirror he'll hurt his own feelings. 

For the apologists, search YouTube for actual footage of the aforesaid comments.

Wouldn't surprise me if he donates to the con. Partisan, how ironic.

I personally am no big fan of the orange man; he says things which I feel don't need to be said sometimes. But that said, America is not being well served by either side of the political aisle, we deserve better, and we deserve leaders capable of leading, being statesmen, and NOT solely in the pockets of any corporation, union, or even government regulators.

So, when you mention "partisan" my UK friend, have you any idea just how far from "democratic" the once democratic party is today?   A party machine willing to censor free speech, "cancel" all opposition---even fellow democrats, and who are in lock step with corporations, neo-cons (yeah other republicans) in perpetuating forever wars around the globe.  

If it were that the democrats stood for democracy I would want to be one. And if it were that Republicans stood for liberty and limited government, I would want to be that too.  But NEITHER are what they once were. JFK would be kicked out of the Democrat party today for being too conservative and against foreign wars. Ronald Reagan would not be welcome in todays Republican party, because he was willing to compromise with Democrats and willing seek solutions.

What I am telling you JTM, is that there is way more to what is going here than you are reading about across the pond, usually from very "partisan" news outlets.

I believe MOST Americans would prefer better choices than Trump or Harris, or Biden, or Hillary, but this system currently doesn't make allowances for much dissent from either side of the spectrum, and why you will begin to see more leaders cross over party lines, or declare independence from the two political "machines"-- neither of which actually seeks to serve the best interest of the public.

Yeah, Trump makes me uncomfortable, but he is an outsider even in his own party. RFK jr also an outsider, same with Tulsi Gabbard.  I wish we had a viable 3rd, or even 4th party here, but that is something that BOTH the democrats and Republicans fear most.  The ability of the people to have more choices, more control, and assigned to only a set partisan formula.

Two places you could not pay me to enter.

 

The one we have here does a good business, is clean and organized. The magazines get a bit jumbled, but at least you can get down the aisle and it's never been robbed.

Ah, I knew someone would name them, thanks!

So Tom is married to Scarlett,  and Martha and Griffin are their kids?
