Palin made an extremely bizarre video targeting I think Murkowski over the Barrett vote.

Before Trump the stupidity of Palin was beyond comprehension. She couldn't name a Supreme Court case and didn't know what "the Fed" referred to.
Aside from just plain wanting Democrats to win in 2008, Palin was the main reason I wanted McCain to lose. Considering her level of stupid-and-proud-about-it, the thought of her being one old man's death away from the presidency was terrifying. And then 2016 happened :suicide:

I'm surprised Trump didn't try to swap out Pence with Ivanka or Eric to boost his numbers
Keeping Pence on probably helps with the hyper-Christian vote. They're all happy to vote Trump because he is good for their agenda, even if many of them think he's a horrible person (and many of them don't think that, lol).

Can I ask why Mondale was so utterly destroyed by Reagan? Did Reagan have that much charisma, all I remember off him was the Reaganomics (and being scared of black people excersising their 2A rights) that was just dumb af.


Because Reagan was a celebrity. Same reason Trump, Swartzenegger, Jesse Ventura, Frankin, and even Dennis Hof got elected. America worships celebrity and incumbents aside, will always vote for them. Kanye's only barrier is not being one of the two actual choices.

If Pauly Shore ran for president, he would win.

Who would have guessed that Palin was a sign of things to come. She actually arguably started the whole thing with conservative politicians making vague threats to kill people. She endorsed an ad that had a list of politicians as "targets" and that ad would lead an unhinged white male to commit a mass shooting / act of terrorism in Arizona that resulted in the death of a federal judge, and a congresswoman being badly injured.

So, what's the story about Grahmn and Ladybugs?




I have a sort-of memory of the Dangerfield movie "Ladybugs", and I remember it being not-terrible,but it's...it's uh it is DEFINITELY a product of the 1980s.
has some MAJOR issues if viewed in 2020.

a male escort who supposedly hosed Graham said he got on all fours and explained "don't worry, those are just my little lady bugs" in reference to the literal swarm of moles/skintags around his anus.

Palin was a watered down version of Trump. Funny though, haven't heard a peep from those rednecks. You'd think they'd try and hitch their wagon to the Trump gravy train.

I've thought about it a few times since 2016. I wondered if she still is in the media or politics, but was never curious enough to go through the effort of typing her name into a search engine.

After losing the election she ended up resigning from being the governor of Alaska (also she was under investigation for a whole bunch of corruption) and then went full on media gravy train.

Yeah, she did a lot of harm. I have a hard time forgiving John McCain for creating that particular monster. Of course, what she did was only possible because USA, but she also helped normalize a lot of repugnant stuff.

Not to defend Idaho, but I think that tweet is saying pretty much the opposite of this (for one state senate district)

You're right, I was thinking more about how solid red it is in every polling map. Albeit not much of one, but at least Montana has a dim possibility of electing a Dem senator. Nobody should ever entertain that notion about Idaho. Larry Craig's wide stance didn't change a drat thing, they just brought in a different white guy who hasn't yet been caught soliciting anonymous bathroom sex in the Minneapolis airport.

VP was traditionally a very powerless position, that led nowhere. Teddy Roosevelt was made VP as a way to kill his career. Fortunately McKinley got shot.

That was mainly because the Kennedys and Johnson hated each other than anything else and he was only given the slot to secure the southern delegates at the 1960 DNC (this was before the majority of states had primaries) Johnson turned Senate Majority Leader from a meaningless symbol into a position of actual power and one of the VP's biggest jobs when presidents give them a job is to act as a liaison to congress which Johnson could have crushed if they let him

I appreciated this.

The Book of Mormon is mostly cobbled together from direct OT quotes, and faux-fancy Olde English (800), along with the phrase, " and so it came to pass," which is used at least 23 billion times in the 500 page text. It is not a good book by any definition, and is hard to follow if you weren't born LDS.

Mormons are generally backwards and silly, and Joseph Smith very obviously made it up (except what he plagiarized), but I've known a lot of decent people who believe in that stuff. Better than being an southern baptist at least.

I've listened to all the Caro books about LBJ and I didn't know that, neat! Gerald Ford also didn't have a VP from August to December 74, which could have been an issue as that guy inexplicably had many attempts on his life.

It's like: establishing shot of a snow covered house in a blizzard, knock on the door, Palin opens the door and two Russian soldiers in uniform ask for her assistance and then I think it jumped right into sex.

It's porn, it doesn't need a ton of setup, but I remember laughing pretty hard at how quickly it moved.
