    He wouldn’t shut the fuck up about Obama’s Birth Certificate until Obama released it. Now we won’t shut the fuck up about the Epstein files until he releases them. What goes around comes around Donnie.

      Weren’t most of them in the statues Democrats ?

      Such a confusing time. Republicans demonizing living Democrats while idolizing the dead ones that living Republicans try use the same dead Democrats to try and prove that the living Republicans aren’t racists.

      So confusing.

        The parties basically flip flopped starting with FDR and the new deal era.

        As someone else commented this was also exacerbated later on with the “Southern strategy”

          Also before the Southern strategy the parties could vary massively on a regional level, for example in one county you may have had pro slavery Democrats while in the next one over you could’ve had ones who were anti-slavery and really into agricultural research.

        In American politics, the Southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidates Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party so consistently that the voting pattern was named the Solid South. The strategy also helped to push the Republican Party much more to the right. By winning all of the South, a presidential candidate could obtain the presidency with minimal support elsewhere.

        Try harder.

        The Democrats of the Civil War era do not hold the same values as the Democrats of today, same as the Republicans of each era. It is pointless for anyone to act like the name of a party a given politician belonged to 160 years ago means anything in 2025 terms.

          It’s a long and sad story of corporate greed.

          When I moved (retired) to Lakeview, I wanted to explore all the dirt roads nearby. I didn’t want to drive my car so I was looking for a used motorbike/ATV to ride around. The local Polaris dealer had this used ATV for half price ($3,000).

          I bought it in the winter and was unable to ride it till Spring. When I did get a chance to ride it, it didn’t work right. It wouldn’t go over 10 mph. I went back to the Polaris dealer and told them it was not working. They said “Your three month warranty is up.” I said OK but would you help me to figure out what is wrong with it? They were not willing to help.

          I am a fair mechanic so I re-jeted the carburetor for this altitude. That didn’t help. I pulled the muffler and cleaned it to be sure it was not clogged. That didn’t help. I finally did a compression test that showed me the piston/cylinder was worn out. The motor needed to be overhauled.

          I didn’t have the cash on hand to perform that task so there it sat. It sat for a while in my back yard until, one day, I thought it would be better in the front yard. When I got it into the front yard I wanted it to be more noticeable so I flipped it upside down. I then thought it looked to “dark” so I added legs sticking out. I NOW thought it looked prefect (to me).

          As it happened, the store owner from where I bought the ATV from was friends with the chief of police so a couple of days later the chief of police stopped by and told my I had to remove it. I asked why and he told me it was a “distraction” and if there was ANY car accidents nearby he would hold ME responsible for the crash. I asked him if this “distraction” was like a flashing neon sign that says OPEN, OPEN, OPEN? He said he didn’t like my attitude and I had a week to remove it.

          So…I got drunk. And I walked drunk to the local newspaper and took an ad out in the “for sale” section of the paper.

          ATV art for sale by leading ATV artist. Price reduced from $54,500.00 to $23,456.78. My loss is your gain.

          I paid for the ad in crumpled up one dollar bills I had in my pocket. I tried to cry but I was having too much fun.

          THEN I went to the police station and told them I was selling my “artwork” but now that it has a price on it, they need to go by a few times at night and make sure nobody is messing with my valuable work.

          I had ONE concerned citizen contact me to “help.” He was aware of the situation and he also had a run in with this police department himself. He offered to buy my artwork on one condition. It had to stay there. “ART shouldn’t move.”

          The deal he made with me is I get to show the police a check he wrote to me to “buy” my artwork but I would not ever actually cash the check he wrote…and the art stays there.

          And there it stays.

              Malicious compliance (also known as malicious obedience)

              lack of confidence in leadership, and resistance to changes perceived as pointless, duplicative, dangerous, or otherwise undesirable. It is common in organizations with top-down management structures lacking morale, leadership or mutual trust. In U.S. law, this practice has been theorized as a form of uncivil obedience, in contrast to civil disobedience.

              This incident led me to recalling the District Attorney, disbanded the local police (Sherriff took over), coerced the Judge to retire early, and I registered many people to vote in the process. Things were really UGLY around here.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
