    US Social media is full of people wondering how much of a coincidence is it that Two hurricanes are hitting Southern red States in the last few weeks before the election.

    There's Trump supporters who genuinely think that Democrats can control the weather.

    How the fcuk are there so many people with this level of intellect in 2024?

    Trump could be President in little over 3 months voted by a large number of people with this mental capacity. It's astonishing.

    Apparently Trump plans to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden. Which just reminds me that’s was the site of the infamous 1939 Nazi rally. I wonder how much overlap there will be there in terms of dogwhistles.

    Or it's just to show how popular he is in a Blue State and it gives his media allies a good photo op, plus big venue = $$$ and lots of stalls to sell his tacky nonsense.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,936 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Pretty wild alright.

    For a group that deny Climate Change, they are pretty happy with believing complete nonsense like weather control. What a bunch of clowns.

    At least one of these people is an elected official. Shocking to think that Marjorie Taylor Greene believes this.

    Well New York as a whole is overwhelmingly Democratic, and the Garden, which is in Manhattan is one of the most liberal areas in both New York City and the entire country.

    Not sure what he would really get from that, but then again, this is Trump logic. He is very unpopular in Manhattan, the city's progressive leanings and opposition to many of his policies, immigration, climate change, and social issues, have resulted in strong negative sentiment toward him.

    He would have more support in rural ares of NY, but he won't go there.

    This is a properly blue state and has voted as such, last time it voted red was for Reagan in 1984.

    Blueprint survey shows large numbers of Haley primary voters up for grabs by Kamala Harris.

    Not familiar with this source and things could change if Haley goes to bat more for Trump in public... but an encouraging sign for Harris:

    "Only 49 percent of Republican Haley voters plan to vote for Trump in 2024, compared to 64 percent who voted for him in 2020."

    The train station underneath MSG is on a direct line to New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.

    Newark is 35/40 minutes away on that train.

    Next to no one there will from Manhattan.

    He has been very polarising in New York. Once he entered politics however, the general hatred and dislike for him took hold.

    Some interesting poll numbers just dropped from Quinnipiac (B+ rated). Pennsylvania being 6 points to the left of Michigan doesn't seem plausible.

    It would be funny if it wasn’t so scary considering the US is the single biggest threat to world peace and this is the citizenry which votes for its awful politicians. The weather thing is utterly bizarre and is not just related to the hurricane; we have those vapour streams in the sky from airplanes that are being blamed for rain, vibrations apparently making the sea do funny things and of course the COVID vaccine being a manufactured bioweapon.

    What is most tragic is that so many people are so far down the conspiracy rabbit hole that reality is almost an illusion for them. Ironically they are more likely to be in a matrix simulation in their social media conspiracies holes than in the real world where they probably believe they are “in the matrix”. Being cooped up at home from 2020 and getting addicted to social media via powerful algorithms has accelerated the descent into an Idiocracy and the only way out is to somehow get the smart phones out of people’s lives.

    Whereas trump's attempt at controlling the weather was drawing with a sharpie on a map showing the predicted course of a hurricane so he didn't look like a tic

    There are reports that Kamala’s funding haul in September was so large that the campaign is reluctant to report it before required.

    Of course they will have to report it by the deadline, which is October 20th, but for now reporting suggests they’re hoping not to send out the mixed message that they “have enough” or anything to handedly win the race, concerned it could lead to depressed fundraising this month. Reports suggest her fundraising haul surpassed total 1 billion dollars, making it the fastest and largest political fundraising sprint in history.

    Trump had reached 1 billion in July but he had already spent a huge portion of it by then and it took him nearly 2 years to raise. Kamala has reportedly raised over a billion dollars in less than 3 months, allowing her to outspend Trump in the most critical stage of the campaign. She’s even been able to divest funds to shore up some down ballot races - Trump hasn’t supported any other races and his daughter, co-chairing the RNC, has inversely pulled money toward his campaign instead of to other races.

    Trump labels Harris as being 'Fascist, Communist, Radical Left, Socialist'

    Some of the characteristics of fascism are as follows.

    Far right. So Harris is far right as well as Radical left.

    Extreme nationalism, as in being very pro American.

    Anti immigrants and ethnic minorities. Sounds like Harris all right. Definitely not like Trump.

    Cult of personality associated with the leader. Strong man who never admits to mistakes..Again sounds like Harris and not Trump.

    Likes a very strong military. Sure the US Army had hardly any weapons after Trump.

    Anti Communists and Marxists. That would be Kamala all right.

    Opposition to cultural liberalism. Spot on.

    Like holding mass rallies to encourage fanatical enthusiasm among followers. Sure Trump is always on about the size of the Harris rallies

    Womens primary role to be a supporter of her husband and children. Definitely Harris

    Anti LGBTQ.

    Anti unions. Luckily Trump is there to fight their cause.

    Identification of scapegoats/enemies as a inifying cause.

    Really, Are Trump supporters braindead to believe the utter garbage that comes out of his mouth?

    The how to steal an election video was banned off the internet once covid became mainstream. A good bio weapon shouldn't kill your enemy, it should wound enough to slow down the platoon. The vaccine had nothing to do with stealing the election that was just an opportunity to make seasonal vaccines cheaper to manufacture. Operation warp speed was a super kind of stupid on Trump's part and he knows it.

    Cloud seeding is big business and growing, tbh I don't think we should be screwing with the weather but at the same time I don't believe they'd manufacture a hurricane but I wouldn't rule it out completely either as the technology is there. (98% probability it's complete nonsense)

    As for super record funding for Harris, she's got some huge financial backers who if you were to believe Tucker and Elon are terrified of a second term for Trump.

    It's all crazy. I'd like to see if there's any truth to it all. Hence, Go Trump!

    Michigan and Wisconsin races are tightening again after looking like being in the bag for Harris. Worrying.

    Still a coin flip.

    No idea what'll be the bigger number come Nov 7th. The difference in electoral college votes between the candidates or my boards.ie ignore list.

    I just don't think I can process any more of the garbage coming from Trumpers, the "centrists" and the "Why can't we criticise Kamala?" mob.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,593 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    The technology is not there to create hurricanes, can you produce a source to backup this claim? 😂 In relation to funding, Vance was literally chosen because of Peter Thiel.

    You're dead right, with the first three words of your last paragraph.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,035 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    It wouldn't be a bad small bet to do a multiplier on Trump doing a clean sweep of all the in contest states regardless of who you think will win them.

    There was a bit of chat about polymarket earlier, Kamala is getting a bit but the money backing a yes for Trump is unreal, either Republicans are richer than democrat's or the market knows how this will play out.

    This is skimming the line of conspiracy nonsense. Cloud seeding does not cause powerful hurricanes like we are seeing in Florida.

    As for super record funding for Harris, she's got some huge financial backers who if you were to believe Tucker and Elon are terrified of a second term for Trump.

    Oh the irony, huge financial backers, and in the same sentence as Musk who is offering money to people to vote? Give me a break.

    It's all crazy. I'd like to see if there's any truth to it all. Hence, Go Trump!

    If you want to see if there is any truth to it, investigate it. Don't go off silly rumours or Tucker Carlsons word, do you need to be reminded what he was partly fired for?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,425 ✭✭✭TheIrishGrover


    And THAT is all you need to know about trump supporters.

    I don't think anyone could have put it better.

    There’s been a spate of particularly damning news about Donnie and his campaign in general, so the MAGA tactic for the duration might be to fill any vacuum with as much noise as they can muster. This appears to include dragging up arguments on ancient nuggets like the «Good People on Both sides» thing or plastering the board with dubious data based on Betting sites.

    Anything they can do to keep us from talking about how Trump’s too much of a spinless coward to sit with 60 Minutes, or that during a Covid test shortage he’d send some to his buddy Putin…who he’s been talking with since he left the White House.

    It is indeed a cointoss, and even on a good Harris showing there’s potential for MAGA shenanigans and cheating…but I get the impression that there are so many people out there who beyond the pro-Dem folk or the pro-GOP folk are just tired of this stupidity. There is one clear choice to end that stupidity (with any luck, for good) and that choice isn’t the failed Reality TV Clown who’s likely to bankrupt himself for the billionth time.

    I think that's pretty generous, it is an out and out conspiracy to claim we can manufacture hurricanes. 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,035 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    Are you saying it's not possible we can manufacture a hurricane? I'm not saying they would that's just nuts but desperate people do desperate things. Hence I suggested probably no probability. It's hurricane season.

    Musk is offering $30ph if I remember correctly. Hardly life changing money. The census workers are probably making more.

    I have investigated it, Remind me again what Tucker was partly fired for, I remember a rant about something but not sure if that was the one.

    Yes, I am categorically telling you humans can not manufacture a hurricane…are you serious? You have no clue what you are even trying to say here, just admit you have no clue what you are saying.

    Musk is offering $30ph if I remember correctly. Hardly life changing money. The census workers are probably making more.

    $47 I believe. Makes no end what amount it is, it is still quite ironic that he might have an issue with Harris and her donors…when he is doing it in plain sight.

    I have investigated it, Remind me again what Tucker was partly fired for, I remember a rant about something but not sure if that was the one.

    I can think of $787.5 million reasons why he was fired, along with the misogny and harrasment lawsuits.

    And you called 60 minutes election interference, but buying votes is okay?

    Wildly discrediting.
