PookBear posted:I'm going to vote democrat but yall are missing the entire point: no one is dragging any friends to the poll because of biden enthusiasm. I'm not telling a coworker "you should vote biden, his brain works slightly better than trump's!" We're not missing the point. None of us wanted to vote for Biden. But we've already accepted the reality of the situation, which is that he won all the primaries, and have already moved on past that. We've already acknowledged we're basically stuck with him and/or Kamala Harris at this point.

That well is never dry. As long as there are terrible candidates, I will always vote for the least terrible, because, well, they're better than the alternative. It loving sucks, and I hate it. But that's the unfortunate reality we live in.

Or something to do with Donnie not ever facing anything over his ties to Epstein. We'll just have to wait and see if they ever find anything more on him.

Apathetic Medic posted:This is also why shower shoes are considered mandatory, no one needs to step on jellyfish when washing the sin off after a long shift. 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.

facialimpediment posted:The latest dumb thing is Johnson et al demanding that Biden resign so... Kamala can then be president. The Donniecheck thing isn't something with a clean retort, but "you know, you can just vote for Kamala if you want her to be president" is a response I'm dying to hear from some rando fired up democratic congressman. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to convince their base that the last 6 or so months would count as one of her terms.

If Trump loses, I'd be very surprised if hos health issues didn't catch up to him before the next election. Dude eats like poo poo and does no real exercise. And the documents case against him is actually about as solid as they come. Do I think he'd see jail time? No, but only because I would expect him to have a stress induced heart attack before then.

McNally posted:The one that got dismissed and will probably still be presided by the same judge even when the court of appeals smacks it down? Smith has a pretty solid case to get it moved to a different judge at this point. How many other times has the appeals court had to smack her down on this case alone? You're right, if it goes before the same judge, it's anything goes. But under a different judge? I doubt it.

Don Dongington posted:Also expecting a lot of "it's all Trump's fault we tried to stop him" from Murdoch mouthpieces and the GoP the day after the election if it's not a close race. It would be pretty awesome if they turned on Trump and started bringing receipts as "newly discovered" evidence of his grifting to turn half the base on him as well. We all know if things do turn on Trump, they'll claim he was a mastermind that was able to pull the wool over the entire country's eyes.

I'm not sure Kelly is the best pick as I don't think he's as willing to go on the attack as Walz or Beshear are. I'd say pick one of those two.

There was also all the confusion generated by the Philly Mayor's endorsement of Shapiro as VP. So how many of those edits are fueled by misinformation based on that? bird food bathtub posted:I don't remember exact dates but they are coming up on deadlines like paper work filing and "we already printed ballots for the entire state". If Donnie Goodbrains is gonna toss Vance overboard it's gotta happen soon. No, let them get past some of those deadlines before dropping him.

facialimpediment posted:I'm surprised the VP pick hasn't leaked yet. We haven't even seen the "I ain't it" messages yet. Maybe they're doing the same thing as Trump, and waiting until the last minute to make the final pick. Though in this case, there's actually a good reason due to the very compressed vetting timeline. Trump was just an idiot in not making a well thought out decision.

Not a requirement anymore. Had a chief on my boat get de-chiefed for a DUI. Though now that I think about it, maybe that had more to do with our CO being a very southern, very religious, very piece of poo poo. And the chief was a gay black man with a husband.

At this point, changing the candidate would be a cluster gently caress for them due to the deadlines for filing ballot access paperwork in each state. They're all coming due already. The last one is KY, on Sept 6th. I would assume JD is the default fallback. But I wouldn't be surprised if the party just loving falls apart as they all end up at each other's throats vying for power. Comedy option is they somehow all rally behind Eric Trump.

Stultus Maximus posted:They can't even if they wanted to. RNC rules can't un-nominate someone. Also they don't want to because Trump is their best shot regardless. Yeah, this is assuming something happened like an accident or medical thing took him out. We all know he wouldn't step down of his own accord, and I think both DNC and RNC rules don't allow for un-nominating someone.

I was honestly hoping we'd get a lot of Hello Fellow Kids style memes out of this. But where they're trying to pretend they identify with the hard working American. I guess my hopes were just too high. I hope Donnie actually loses any union votes he did have though.

boop the snoot posted:I think Trump could call Vance a piece of poo poo to his face and Vance would still kiss his rear end just like every other republican sycophant Trump has insulted over the last 8 years. I don't disagree. More of making Trump even more mad at Vance. Because as weird as Vance is, he's smart enough to not get too wrapped up in who has the bigger crowds. Even if his are laughably small. Then you can point out how weird it is that Trump will openly insult him and he just continues to kiss rear end.

Yeah. I don't think it's a great idea either. And let's face it. If he does drop a hard r, that is only going to slide us backwards as his supporters start doing it all the time to try and show it's not so bad because everyone does it, and also they'll feel they now "have permission" again.
