  1. I get George RR Martin’s stories are only the bad guys win over and over again but it actually gets kind of boring. It’s the one thing that I hated about GOT. Never read the books so I hope Aegon is at least dead. So the one eyed Aemond is this series King Joffrey. Someone you can’t stand but never dies while all the characters that you like slowly get offed? I know, I know if you don’t like it don’t watch the show. I like the show but wouldn’t mind seeing a win for the good guys here and there.
  2. It would be more believable if she just said my son thinks Texas is too fucking hot and he wants to live somewhere that has lots of rain and legal weed. Any offensive recruit that doesn't want to come to Texas at this point is kind of baffling unless it's all about the strength of the position depth chart we may have, but depth chart never stops kids from going to Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State.
  3. Rubio said Trump did not say that at the debate that Trump said his vengeance would be winning. She responded, "You are correct he didn't say it at the debate he said it on another day" and then she just moved on. What a wrote above is her pushing back but it's very meekly. It's always, " I don't think that is correct" versus "you are fucking lying to the American people you cunt". I prefer the second example, but I only get the first one.
  4. Sorry to vent but this shit drives me nuts. Not sure why but I just listened to CNN this morning and the two senators I heard interviewed were Dem Chris Murphy and Rep Little Marco Rubio. This country is fucked based on the media and also people like Rubio. Dana Bash (yes, she sucks) did the interviews and the entire interview with Murphy was only about should Biden not run. Even when he answered it the next question was the same. Nothing about the country, Trump, Supreme Court decisions, zip, nada. Just, "should Biden step aside", "is Biden too old to run the country", "will you support Kamal for President". It is quite obvious CNN wants a change at the top and is totally pushing for that. I am awaiting one of the anchors to say," We have breaking news that Trump just murdered 3 people but let's talk about Biden's debate again". Then she interviews Rubio and lets him go on and on about how Biden is going after his enemies and persecuting them (Trump) with the DOJ. If you listen to his view of the US, it is falling apart, and we can't let the Dems have 4 more years of destroying our country. Lie after lie. Illegals are killing Americans every day. Trump would never go after his enemies like Biden. Radical Left, Radical Left, Radical Left. Crazy California policies that Kamala and Newsom would bring to our country. There is a shadow government running the country with Biden just a figurehead. Democrats want Americans to pay for abortions up to when the child is born. When asked about the immunity case the Supreme Court did, he said that helps protect President's like Trump from being persecuted like they have done to Trump. I know many of you think the people of this country that vote for Trump are racist or Fascist, but I still believe many just hear shit like this all day long and are too stupid to not believe it, the Facebook memes they get, the Russian bots that are hitting them with propaganda left and right.
  5. After thinking about this a little more I think I am fine with Kamala being our next president. Just need to get over the whole being from Uganda thing. Happy Fourth of July!
  6. I am not sure Newsom can win being from California. The right will blanket the airwaves until election day with Newsom will turn your state into the hell hole that is CA with homeless people everywhere, crime everywhere, drag queens teaching your kids, etc... ( I love California so I don't personally believe any of that shit). They will flat out put lies out there, but I guarantee you it will scare the shit out of enough independents that they will vote for Trump. That is the biggest problem with Biden dropping out. Fox News and the right will just lie about whomever becomes the nominee and unfortunately, they will win the propaganda battle.
  7. This will lead to a lot of MAGA channeling their inner Tanner from The Bad News Bears. Not sure if appropriate to post the video.
  8. I think you just called me old! Well sir, I get all my news from Surlyhorns.
  9. The article below was from a few years ago but CNN has definitely changed since then. What Js1 said above is absolutely correct, sadly. Over the last week since the first presidential debate it seems like someone high up said, “we need to get Biden to step down because then we can run with a bunch of stories about that and who his replacement will be and drive ratings”. They don’t seem to do stories about Trump being a raving lunatic and kind of just omit those from the broadcast similar to what Fox News does. https://www.vox.com/2022/8/26/23322761/cnn-john-malone-david-zaslav-chris-licht-brian-stelter-fox-peter-kafka-column
  10. He should promise any man that votes for him that. He would win in a landslide.
  11. You forgot to mention Oprah. I believe she is next in line after Biden.
  12. I would argue that Biden's number is under 40% not because of the job he is doing or the state of the country but because the right-wing media is so strong with their propaganda that they have scared half the country into believing their country is shit and their lives are terrible. Bush Sr and Carter actually dealt with economic issues like a recession that caused many of their low polling numbers. Trumps is low because he was a fucking terrible President, and it should actually be lower. I bet most of the people voting and giving Biden a low approval rating are actually doing really well in the world like have a good job, nice house, friends and family, going on vacations and own all the toys they want yet when asked about the country they tell the pollsters its terrible (because Fox News told them it is).
  13. If she keeps all the blue states blue and guarantees MI, WI and PA I am good with it.
  14. This short clip from a Mel Brooks movie should give you your answer on the homeless and others.
  15. This is a great analogy. We don't want the old Fire Marshall that is fumbling with the fire hose, but the other choice is to make the Fire Marshall the guy that lit the fucking building on fire and chanted let's burn this motherfucker to the ground and when we are done let's light all the rest of the buildings on fire also. I choose the old guy and hope that he hires some firemen that no what the fuck they are doing, but that's just me. Yes, I get this about switching Biden out but that isn't going to happen in my opinion for reasons already stated.
  16. After the debate I thought it best to remove Biden and Kamala from the ticket and get some younger centrist Dems on the ticket. I am now honestly in a different mindset. They need to keep Biden on the ticket and give him Adderall or any other stimulants anytime he is in the public. HIs campaign staff are also dumb to float the "had a cold" stuff. He should come out tomorrow and say it wasn't a cold, but he has some nasty stomach virus the day before with a fever and explosive diarrhea and he was up for 24 hours causing him to feel like shit at the debate and was pretty out of it. Something pretty much everyone has been through at one time or another and understands and would say, "oh, now I get why he looked terrible". Hell, if they went with the cold idea, he should have said he had a cold and took way too much cough medicine and Benadryl and it caused him to look drugged, but he is great now. Basically, lie like the other side does.
  17. If Trump is my other choice then yes.
  18. That is correct but seniors won't see it that way. They have been on those plans and getting those benefits and when their benefits get worse, they will blame somebody. The somebody will be Biden and the right will make sure they know who to blame. I would say the difference is one is talking about taking their benefits and the other is a real-world experience they will be having. Big difference.
  19. 35%? At least 50% of this country would believe that shit. Now tell me more about these windmill jets. I am quite intrigued by this.
  20. I will give you a big headwind that will hurt Biden right before the election, Medicare and to be specific Medicare Advantage. Millions of seniors are on those plans all over the country and pretty much all of those companies that offer these plans (United Healthcare, Aetna, Humana, etc....) are going to make benefits much worse and pull out of areas because the federal government cut their payments. I guarantee you will have the right wing (rightly or wrongly) come October telling seniors "Look at what the Democrats are doing to your Medicare? They are cutting your benefits and if we get elected, we will give you all those back plus a lot more stuff so vote for us." Seniors that are democrats want democracy, but they also want their dental plans, free meals, rides to the doctor and all those other benefits more. Just wait and watch.
  21. One key thing to remember is that none of the media outlets can let Trump runaway with the election. Same for Biden. Needs to be close so they can sell ad revenue for their networks and the sheep in this country keep watching.
