"New York Times" columnist Thomas Friedman said in an interview with CNN host Anderson Cooper on Thursday that if you are not frightened right now, you are not paying attention.
"It's terrifying because the Republican Party has become basically a political brothel, that rents itself out by the night to ever will energize its base," Friedman told Cooper. "Whether it was Sarah Palin or the Tea Party, and now Trump. This is a party that went into its convention with no platform. No platform. Basically said whatever Trump wants, we want."
(snip)
FRIEDMAN: Backed by a party without spine, amplified by a network without integrity, and by social networks that are marinated in conspiracy theories, behind whom are a lot of armed people. If you aren't frightened by this, you are not paying attention.COOPER: So what happens? So what do you do?
FRIEDMAN: There's only one thing to do. Vote, go out and vote. Vote for Joe Biden, raise money for Joe Biden, canvass for Joe Biden. Register someone -- help someone registered to vote for Joe Biden, and drive someone to the polls to vote for Joe Biden. This is all about power, Anderson. This isn't you're not going to persuade the Republican Party. I had a good laugh tonight when I saw that Lindsey Graham said, don't worry. If we have -- if Joe Biden wins the election, you have nothing to worry about, will abide by that. The same guy, you know, who said if the Supreme Court situation that that the Republicans ran through before repeated again, he wouldn't be for it. There's only one tool we have, but it is a tool that can work, and that is to overwhelmingly vote. ..... I will cast my vote for Joe Biden.

The choices are four more years of Trump and the irrational, hate filled attacks on him, or the rest of your life in misery under democrat rule where the whole country become San Francisco, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, NYC.
In short, Venezuela or NK.
The irony is that Biden himself is actually more patrioticindeed, nationalisticthan Trump...

These people. I have no words (likely because I’m on my 1st cup of covfefe).
T. Friedman is having the vapors because he *will have to* cover a Civil War. Someone I forget is convinced the progs can secede and take everything but the Deep South and the Plains with them (!!). Foreign Policy magazine thinks SloJoke is more of a nationalist than Trump and is advising a *pivot* to nationalism (now with more liberal values!!) in the final 5 weeks of the campaign, admitting nationalism is hardwired into the human psyche.
This is beyond delusion.
They believe people will just passively watch a CWII on their TVs, so the poor journo will be *forced* to cover the ick, because ratings). But the other prog apparently believes the losing progs own most of the states (so: then why not just have a nice normal election they will win walking away and forget all the threats and bluster?) and can just go their own way, leaving a few hapless retards with no natural resources to founder here and there as isolated islands in a happily united prog republic, which will abscond with territory and power and remain uncontested, while the ‘prestigious’ magazine that uses the name Foreign Policy advises the ‘true’ nationalist to reveal his nationalism, because Trump’s nationalism is fake and the voters will be pleased to follow the new revelation because ....something, something.
Beam me up.
The Ministry of Propaganda is running scared.
Good.
In other words he hates those who believe in liberty, he is a man with no honor.
I am not going to bother with the effort to research but I’m wondering about Mr Friedman’s past comments on Bush’43. I will wager that he probably castigated HIM with equal alarmism, just like the “boy crying WOLF!” Like the scorpion being carried across the stream, it is their nature!
JoeJoe is the Dick's PUPPET...CFR Dick "Age of Non-Polarity" Haase. Heels Up Horror Show is a George Ballsac Eyes Soros install.
WATCH OUT Americans. You know what habbens next. BOHICA.
Hey Tom...it’s the jilted lover scenario, “if I can’t have you (America), then nobody can!.”
Psalm 33:8
Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Luke 12:5
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him
Basically said whatever Trump wants, we want.
And Trump wants good things for the US and follows the Constitution.
Actually, itll be the 3rd Civil War.......the first being the revolt against a certain King.
I have noticed many people talking about going toe to toe with Antifa as if those people need to be defeated for the win.
Without getting into details........the enemy is entrenched in the media.
In other words, street fighting is certainly possible, but shutting down the enemys communication and propaganda machine is vital.
How should that be accomplished? Effectively for sure.
Kepp shuddering, Tommy.
We're terrified President Trump won't give us back the Precious!
He definitely misses the point.
President Trump wants what the republican base wants, and he delivers on promises.
Friedman’s brain is fried, man.
I’m going to quietly enjoy Bill Gates becoming a multi-millionaire.
I hate globalists even more than leading Democrats.
It’s China, stupid.
I cant understand why President Trump hasnt announced the retaliatory actions against the CCP for unleashing this plague on the world.

I saw seven Biden signs and three Trump signs this morning in an area that has traditionally been Republican.
“Free stuff” always wins out.
They shudder at four more years but they refuse to look in the mirror to see the true cause of the unrest.
What is our sides strategy? How do we mobilize soldiers? What weapons do we have? What will victory look like? How do we secure peace in a post-victory world?
He is correct. We are at war. He doesnt see he is on the enemy side.
