Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
Cool KH. Post something from AGES ago that makes no never mind now
Currently, President Biden, last week had to be cut off from his mic after saying that he was tired and only doing what he was told.
But keep posting those Trump memes. It doesn’t take much. after all, to deter zombies.

Well, IF I believed all the Fright Wing gobbling, I'd still prefer a bumbling Old Fart to a fucking Conman Thief.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
Yeah I’m not sure how that’s bad.
I do wonder if the push for ‘sleepy Joe Biden’ is an attempt to normalize Trump’s mania.

You did not see his speech in Viet Nam?
I respect you ordinarily. But if you try to funny away this. Well the barrel has a bottom.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
So if Biden is as much of a con man thief as Trump, yet despite their best efforts republicans can’t find any evidence they’re willing to present to a court and have resorted to targeting his son, forcing Biden to come out in support of his family, it seems like they’re saying that the one thing Trump is good at, Biden is better.
ETA: Funny away what? Nope I haven’t seen his speech so you’re going to need to provide context. Did you see/read his speech from a government source and not a news site?

Dumb fuck. Who is talking about Trump? I’m talking about the President when he gave a speech in Viet Nam.

There seems to only be a few seconds at the end of the speech.
It offers no meaning.
But when you try to compare that to the shit that Trump has piled on the reputation of the office of the US President, it comes up very short.
Again, I'll take the Doddering Old Fart over the Shyster Grifter any day of the week.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
Honestly, I would take a provably completely incompetent person over someone actively trying to kill me, so the question seems deeply irrelevant.

I guess that the part I really don't get is I see people like you, Shel, who seem to be good hearted, morally sensible, and fairly thoughtful, who just bend over and take the crap that The Donald has been dishing out, all these years, and you're willing to excuse all of his shit for,...,WHAT? Is he paying you guys? Or actually demonstrating that he cares about what happens to you and your family. Do you believe him?
Please tell me what he has done to earn your trust that he actually gives a flying fuck for people like you and me, and the other people in this country.
Just give me one example of him actually showing true compassion and caring for any poor or infirm, Homeless, Hungry, sick, broke, broken or even just slightly disadvantaged human being, anywhere on the universe.

Wait, did you really think any reasonable person would realise you meant Biden not the orange con man ( by which I mean Donald J Trump, in case you are not a reasonable person)? Let alone the average er?
Do you sometimes forget which echo chamber you are in?

Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
There's an old saying: If you the bank $10K and you can't pay, you have a problem. If you owe the bank $10M and you can't pay, the bank has a problem. (You might need another factor of 100 or so since inflation has happened since then.)
There's a similar thing with grifts. If you get suckered by a brilliant and subtle scheme, and you figure it out, the grifter has a problem. If you get suckered by something dumb, and you figure it out, you have a problem. And the only way out of that problem is to never actually process anything which might lead you to figure it out.
There was a quote from Trump in an interview, back in the 80s, right after the Tienanmen Massacre, where he talked about how the Chinese government almost fucked it up and were soft, but they took a firm hand and did what they needed to do and this is how you do good governance.
Lots of people who would hate that stance voted for Trump, and now they just have to ignore the authoritarianism, because they can never say "yeah actually I'm fine with him regarding that as good governance, we need more mass murders of our civilian population."

Well, yes he was. There were a lot of instances of obstruction by the Republicans at the time. But even with the party politics, they got some things done. It wasn't pretty. It never is. US Politics has never been pretty, but shit got done.
There was a day when the gang of eight that just FUBAR'd The House of Representatives yesterday would have been sent home packing before they even got settled.
We have to go back to the days of McCarthy to actually see Congress in such a mess, and before that the Reconstruction.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
I believe that this speaks to a lot of what has been discussed here.
Most 2024 GOP presidential candidates urge Republicans to stop the chaos after McCarthy’s ouster
Donald has brought out the Jackals.
The Republican Party has become more like the Vandals than the heroes that they want to be seen as for America.
Update. The trouble with these kinds of events is that one often finds out just how little one really knows about some shit.
EG.
I actually believed that the Speaker job must be assigned to a member of the House - Someone whom the people had elected to the House of Representatives.
Silly me. I found that the rules of the H of R include this little Gem:
The House can actually assign the job of Speaker to pretty much anybody that they want after a speaker has been ousted.
There are some stated notions, like the Speaker cannot be someone under indictment.
Well, that has yet to actually be proved true.
If they really wanted to, it seems that the House could assign the job to somebody currently facing charges of such things as trying to influence an election, of even encouraging a insurrection, or interfering with a states election process.
You see where I'm going with this, I hope.
After learning of this, I wandered out into the woods, and spent the night talking with Mr Daniels. Jack Daniels.
Ol' Jack and I decided that the world of American Politics is just too friggin weird, and we quit.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
I still love Cornel West and I still think it's ludicrous to suggest that his run for President is a vanity project instead of a (likely misguided) effort to make a positive impact, but I have come to believe it would be better if he didn't run. In any case he has now decided not to seek the Green Party nomination and run as an independent instead, which significantly reduces the likelihood (I think) of his even getting on the ballot in a significant number of states.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
People inclined to say "we may as well vote for West or RFK Jr. or whoever the lolberts put forward cuz BOTH SIDES" got some affirmation with the news that we're getting another 20 miles of border wall. AFAIK, no one in the administration is yet claiming Mexico will pay for it.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election Shittastic Shittacular
Yeah that was pretty shocking to me. The optics seem objectively terrible, but maybe the idea is to throw a relatively meaningless bone to Trump's base.
