It sad that so many people are being turned into Nazis.***
What is really funny is the Nazi party was the National Socialist party. Shortened to Nazi. Socialist. Not conservative.
Can't find total registered voters yet. County population says 51,788 but that's all ages, not just registered voters.
German DEMOCRATIC Republic when the Communist took over. Similarities to what we are seeing in the US?
Yeah they had a socialist component, till Hitler killed them. Gregor Strasser was the leader, he was forced out and later arrested during the Night of the Long Knives. He was executed a few months later.
Funny you say that as I've heard a lot of "mandate" language over the past week and been thinking
50/50'ish isn't my definition of a mandate. Give me closer to 90.
And virulently anti-communist/socialist. Same as the fascists in Italy and Spain.
When a country puts Democratic in it's name, it's a sure sign that democracy is dead there.
Paraphrasing somebody smarter than me.
Interesting. Like someone above, I wonder what the turnout was. I noticed a whole lot of apathy in Democrats I talked to. Plenty of dislike of Trump, but not much enthusiasm for Harris.
Edited to add that Sec. State had Oktibbeha at 26894 active voters as of September, so that's about 66%

Yeah tongue in cheek. It definitely was a mandate to fix cost of living and immigration. Stop focusing on the margins and get back to being able to eat on your paycheck. Not sure sure it was a mandate to assemble the cabinet from Idiocracy though...
Idiocracy? Not enough cross dressing alphabet people for you?
This thread reads like a Fox News comment section
You know, it IS possible to oppose the several idiots Trump is appointing without wanting other idiots to take their place.
Gaetz won't make it. The WSJ says there are at least 4 and possibly as many as 30 GOP Senators who will vote no on him.
This is why Trump didn't get involved with the Senate leadership elections....he preferred Scott, but told Thune he'd stay out of it if he gives him recess appointments. It gives his picks(Gaetz) an automatic 2 years in the Cabinet without confirmation, at which time a certain governor in Florida is wrapping up his term. Enjoy.
Your TDS is strong. This is a competent staff, especially, when compared to the incompetent mentally ill staff of the current administration.
Well the point of these handful such as Gaetz and Gabbard is that they both were needlessly attacked by the very agencies they are being put in charge of in an attempt to ruin them for political reasons. I agree more typically qualified choices could have been made but I think a large portion of the country think most of the alphabet agencies need gutting and reforming. Who better to do that than a domestic terrorist ex vet/senator who was put on the no fly list ?? Or a guy who was investigated for sex trafficking by the DOJ for several months with all kinds of public leaks yet never charged with a crime ??
Overall, the cabinet is good so far.
Gaetz, I hate. He's a moron. My hope is, since he resigned already, he won't get confirmed and will be gone forever.
I get having doubt about RFK. I would rather Rand Paul or someone else. But we knew this was probably coming bc of the endorsement, so...here we are. Not too worried, bc our institutions are strong enough to keep him from doing too much damage. If that weren't the case, all the cross dressing kleptomaniacs we've had in DC for the last 4 years would've already ruined the place.
Outside of those two, I'm not seeing anything that warrants any real complaints. Lots of hand wringing from idiots too stupid to comment intelligently on anything serious (the View, Rachel Maddow, and the like), but nothing tangible.
That's possible, but it's hard to take people seriously complaining about the current picks when they were quiet about the prior ones. The picks generally aren't who I would pick. But they do generally have reason to hate the branch they are taking over, either because they've been the victim of its weaponization or because they take the incompetence personally. That's not really enough to qualify somebody for a cabinet position, but again, if you haven't been complaining loudly about the current occupants, you aren't really worried about cabinet positions being filled by people that are qualified.
Anti-communist because they were competing in the same lane, not because they were opposed to each other.
Nazi's were not socialist in the same way no communist regimes have ever been communists. It really is the darndest of luck that that 100% of communists regimes and most socialists ones turn into murderous dictatorships.
LOL! Two wrongs don't make a right. Not all of his appointments have been bad. Some have been very good. Most have been ok. But come on, GAETZ? RFK? HEGSETH? We won't have to worry about Gaetz, he will not be confirmed. I doubt he makes it to the confirmation hearing. The other two will get there. I think RFK will be confirmed, with Democratic help. Who knows about Hegseth. He is an unqualified unknown.
There's never been a major socialist country. The USSR certainly wasn't. It was called socialist by the two largest propaganda machines of the time. The USA and the USSR. One called it socialist to defame socialism and equate it with the repressive regime that was the USSR to make sure workers here thought of socialism as repressive. The other to gain the moral appeal of socialism to cover the fact that workers and communities had absolutely no voice in the matter. The best thing to ever happen to socialism was the collapse of the USSR, socialisms major obstacle.Anti-communist because they were competing in the same lane, not because they were opposed to each other.

2020 votes in Oktibbeha - 19,757
2024 votes in Oktibbeha - 17,752
So almost exactly 2,000 fewer votes this election.
Exactly. Real socialism and real communism have never been tried. I mean, durn, 90 million people dead because of these fake attempts and people are willing to give up on trying it the right way? Bunch of wuses and no comrades of mine.
Was 'communist' really one of the terms the left used to describe a potential Trump 2nd term?
Boy, I don't think I read or heard that. He was called a lot of things, but I really don't remember him being called a communist.
