Thankfully I never had to use or eat a ham slice mre, they have lots of places on the larger Navy ships for you to sneak away with your boat boo (who is a military 7 but a civilian 4). Medical also had a bowl of condoms underway even though you're not supposed to be loving your coworkers.

To be gross but forthright for our non-idiot non-enlisted lurkers the bowl of condoms is for masturbation so you don't make a loving mess in berthing since you often have to share beds with other sailors

Oh you know people were loving in the fan rooms and storage spaces and outlying unoccupied workshops though. I caught people more than a few times in outlying spaces when I was ship's security force underway because we'd often be walking down random passageways. They'd think they were being quiet but uh yeah, no.

I never bothered to actually bust in on someone doing that, but I'd absolutely knock on the door hard and keep walking if I heard the sounds of loving from the other side, spook em a bit to keep it down.

Shower shoes are mandatory because some people have absolutely disgusting feet and you don't want to catch whatever the gently caress they have. On my boat we kicked one of the LS's out of berthing and made him sleep in a hammock in their spaces because their feet reeked so loving bad. I think we eventually forced him to go to medical to sort that poo poo out.

The more I think about it, the dumber Vance is as a pick. He's basically a stupid, less sympathetic version of Trump who says outrageous poo poo. In 2016, nobody cared about the VP choice because Clinton and Trump were still young enough it was less likely they'd die in office from natural causes. This time, however, there's a pretty good chance Vance could wind up as president - the same thing that helped tank McCain's campaign.

Democrats can spend the next 4 months attacking Vance, who will gladly continue to stick his foot further in his mouth, while underscoring the fact that he's second in line for the presidency behind a dude that's 78. This lets them indirectly attack Trump without being accused of being mean to the guy who was almost just assassinated. And I guarantee the non-stop news coverage of Vance will piss off Trump.

The best part is that Donnie picked Vance at the urging of Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, and David Sacks.

So a lot like that coterie of freaks, Vance is one of them. He's sure made some fun statements about childfree women in the workplace, has called for ending no-fault divorce, and zero-exception abortion bans. Real GOP freak poo poo in publishable voice clips.

Donnie's always had a problem in the suburbs, having this weirdo in the mix sure doesn't help that. He'll probably try to make moderate mouth noises for a while.

Yeah another issue with Vance is that he's directly contradicting Trump's attempt to distance himself from Project 2025 so that's a pretty substantial issue on top of stealing attention Palin-style.

I'm not sure I see him getting dumped, though. He's obviously willing to do a complete 180 on his public statements with the right motivation.

Vance has already started trying to talk out both sides of his face Re:P2025. His most recent comments have been like, "I agree with some, not all, we will have to see" type garbage.

Meanwhile, he helped craft the loving thing.

I'm thinking Vance was chosen 100% to be a scapegoat for [whatever comes up] and if that ticket does get elected he doesn't last a year.

Not that I am eager to seek them out, but I'll also be interested to see if he even makes it on yard signs and poo poo or if the branding is solely TORMP 2024.

If Biden drops out, does that give the Dems a boost as long as they plug in a reasonable candidate?

The MAGAts will crow that big strong daddy Trump ran him out of the race, but them going for short-term victories over long-term gain isn't new. (Plus, I didn't think of the inflighting because Vance will upstage Donnie.

That's basically/finally the question that Biden is asking his people now. There have been a lot of articles that his inner circle has shrunk and polling data isn't getting through to him, but I'm aware of Schumer/Jeffries/others all outright telling him in private that he's basically hosed.

Now hosed is relative, because public polling isn't that bad. He's probably a 30% underdog, around where Donnie was in 2016. The trouble is that every time he talks, he could be improving, and he just isn't. He's fumbling basic politician poo poo - take the question you get and spin it into what you want to talk about. So that's either freaking out downballot candidates, or the downballot candidates are getting internal polls even worse than the public stuff.

I'm pro-harris because she talks a good game on abortion, is relatively normie, African-American, as close to an incumbent as there would be left, and the k-hive is cult-level nuts. Any negative of hers (like immigration, "why did she defend sleepy Joe") can be spun away with basic politician poo poo. Also IMMEDIATELY addresses voters' #1 concern (these choices suck, too old), though they COULD just shift to she sucks too.

Edit: Kamala keeps the "democracy" argument relatively intact too, as current VP. And her prosecutor background helps with that handwavey poo poo in the shift.

The counterpoint is exactly everything you mentioned. Americans love center-lefty cops and running a center-lefty cop against a ticket of freaks might be the way to go. Counter-counterpoint: Florida Democrats running a real coppy cop against Rubio/Desantis which hilariously didn't work.

Also likely why AOC and Bernie are hanging onto Biden for dear life.

This is the West Wing / Donor idea that's not really feasible based on legal poo poo. The key blocker is the $200m that Biden still has. If Joe drops and Kamala gets it, the money flows right to her. If someone else gets it, that money gets tangled up in a legal clusterfuck.

The ever-mysterious "they" could still do it, but the legal poo poo is a gigantic mess. Plus, do you think the Democratic party would happily skip over an African-American female VP for the smoky room candidate?

That's pretty much my thinking of the whole situation. If it isn't Biden at the top of the ticket, it needs to be Harris. If donors push both out, Dems are gonna lose for sure come November. You don't get to tell everyone you're fighting to save democracy, right after you push out two of the people who were, crappy primary field aside, chosen by Dem voters this past year. And it's telling that AOC and Bernie are standing firmly with Biden while centrist ghouls are screeching to any reporter that will listen on background.

Big money donors thinking we're gonna get a West Wing ending if there's a brokered convention or a "mini" primary are gonna be in for a rude awakening. Lucky for them, they're insulated from most of the harm a second Trump admin would bring on. Everyone else? Not so much. And it's thinking about that part that makes me angry. Not that I am just dying to vote Biden or Harris yet again, but that a group of wealthy donors are pushing their thumbs on the scale as hard as they can, and it's gonna gently caress over everyone but them.

Tiny Timbs posted:

It wouldn't be refunded. It would be held in legal limbo due to campaign finance laws. It would likely go to the Dem candidate at some point, but 3.5 months is not enough time to clear that up, let alone get all the GOP lawsuits that would inevitably come forward to challenge it out of the loving way.

It's either Biden or Harris, any other option is conceding the election whether these idiots know it or not. I'm not happy that we're at this point but it's basically the Apollo 13 problem. poo poo is hosed? Cool, well you still need to go slingshot around the moon to have any chance of getting home.
