I see the fat ugly piece of crap HoH/Atlanticmike, in violation of using a sock puppet, posted something, but I can’t see it because I have it on ignore...
As usual. Why Shades doesn't enforce his rule is beyond me.

Wait, is there really anyone still left who hasn't upgraded their life by putting Loran on ignore?

Anyone who has read threads on this board knows that I have said multiple times that the progressives here hate people just because they color of their skin.
Wait. You seem confused. Isn’t Maduro ‘brown’, too, as you put it?

And here you want a white/orange guy to run the country, instead of a ‘brown’ guy? That sounds like you have some kind of weird plantation mentality thing going on.

It is important to understand that these progressive Marxists aim to inundate America with undocumented immigrants, ultimately seeking to dismantle the system established by a group of white men in the late 1700s. They believe that if America is destroyed, whiteness will also be destroyed.
Wait. You’re worried about white people and white culture being disappeared by brown folks, and now you’re advocating that the United States should roll in and boot out the brown leaders of South American countries?

What’s with your weird racist hangups? : D

This sounds a bit like the dialogue between the young priest and the recently summoned experienced old exorcist in that film called If I recall correctly 'The Exorcist":

Young priest: "Father, I think it may be useful for me to give you an idea of some of the personalities she has exhibited since all this began ..."

Old Exorcist (interrupting him, wearily): "There is only one personality."

So, how many different sock puppets are currently being operated, and are they all the same person? Time for the holy water ...

I personally could probably get behind the idea of the precedent of countries kidnapping criminal leaders of other countries. Especially an adjudicated rapist, with multiple felonies, who has a long history of documented fraud and wage theft, abuses amphetamines to the point of needing to wear a diaper, and has bragged about walking in on children getting dressed. That type of person should probably be in a foreign prison.

I mean, if that kind of person were ever elected to be a leader. Doubtful any country could have that many morally bankrupt rubes for such a person to be in power through a democratic process.

You’re right. No single nation could possibly produce that many morally bankrupt rubes, it would violate the laws of probability.

Because the absentee father enjoys the trolling. He closed out multiple reports of mine with nary a comment. He knows the sock puppets, and loves it.

I do not understand why folks think Hound and Atlantic Mike are the same. I hear the sound of the same propaganda system from both of them. None of it sounds even vaguely original so can come from many individuals.

Perhaps folks have information about post sources that I do not have. The difference in persona is large enough that serious creative fiction would be necessary for them to be the same person. That's not impossible but both being controlled by the same propaganda system is a simpler explanation.

I thought Chap had the right idea with the exorcist.

He could be having AI write his nonsense for him.

But yeah, I'm not sure where that connection came from either. I always give new people a chance, but the moment they say anything remotely in support of Trump or the GOP, I write them off as dishonest and not worth reading. The standard in the GOP is to lie idiotically and transparently, so if you're in that camp, you've signed up to prevaricate with the rest of them, and are by default untrustworthy (at least, to say nothing of their inability to do basic thinking). The GOP hates this country while pretending to love it.

Lying is their life. I don't care if they're sock puppets (yet another way to lie) or not, but it doesn't matter. I judge them on the content of their posts, and the vast majority of it is pure crap (well, the vast majority I read until I put them on ignore. I'm assuming the percentage of crap doesn't change after I stop reading them).
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
