    The bait was not the initial stupid post, it was the comment reply, and an attempt to play psyops to show gays for Trump is a thing like blacks for slavery or Jewish Nazis type of nonsense. The initial message is not memorable or relevant, but the psyops manages to spread like a viral ad and has more potential impact. We all need to raise the bar of awareness about this kind of layered approach IMO. We are giving the fools a platform. They are smart thieves and conartists. Never forget that. They act like fools because it is a viable strategy in a world filled with imbeciles. They must be foolish clowns to stay relevant, but someone must be watching and allowing them on the stage.

        Good lord…that actually happened??? God damn! Just when you think the world is as stupid today as it’s ever been, history pulls out Jews for Hitler…

        I mean, really??? That’s like “Bears for bear traps”. I’m honestly not sure HOW to make a joke without also coming off as wildly insensitive. So I’ll leave it at that.

            There were Indigenous tribes, already driven off their land, that owned black slaves too. Similarly fucked up.

              Most tribes had slaves before white people showed up, even chattel slavery. It might seem weird to white Americans who label both groups as disenfranchised minorities but no one at the time blinked at the idea. A racial heirarchy was established and while there were occasionally arguments the one thing most of the powerful people agreed on in America is that Africans were at the bottom of it and that meant everyone else had the “right” to enslave them.

              What a lot of history leaves out is that part of the reason the indigenous people didn’t unify against white colonizers before it was too late is that in the early days native tribes were raiding each other for slaves and selling them to the whites, which would in turn spark wars between the tribes, ultimately weakening all parties and creating more war captives that would also be sold to the colonizers.

              This further weakened the tribes, of course. Instead of war captives eventually being assimilated into the victors they were sold to colonizers, effectively reducing the native population’s manpower.

              Until the 1750s there were even periods were more Native Americans from the continent were being sold in the Caribbean than African slaves. It wasn’t until the Indian Wars that this really changed as the tribes both became less willing to sell captives and European slavers decided natives could escape too easily compared to Africans.

    Guess WHO spread the maggots? It seems like our good little trumper here is yet again pointing in the wrong direction…

    Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.

    “Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”

      Even more importantly:

      The incident was the most recent example of ongoing efforts to disrupt the convention, including multiple bomb threats at hotels where delegates and other attendees are staying. Fox32-TV reported that the threats were made against at least three hotels.

      When he opened with “Maggots”, I legitimately thought he was saying Trump supporters were found at the DNC and thought it was weird. It took me a minute to figure out he was talking about actual maggots.

      People who vote for the face eating leopards, now getting surprised when the leopards eat their faces.

      They like conservatism, with the exception of their sexuality not being accepted. They do not seem to realize that they have to take the whole package, and that they are useful idiots that will be disposed of once they establish permanent power.

    You would think after reading comments like these all the time he would realize that he wasn’t welcome to the party. 🤔
