It isn't "But Trump". Here's what the DT crowd doesn't understand... it isn't about Trump... it's about you. When a person casts their lot with Trump, they lose credibility. People don't bring up Trump because he was the problem, they bring him up because that's the evidence that your opinion is not to be taken seriously.
I've never understood why Icono came to a message board, spent years developing an abhorrent online persona, proceeded to admit to something as personal as meth-driven prostitution to people he's alienated, and then come back with the same abhorrent persona. This is not the behavior of a healthy individual.
Yes, the fraternal twin of "If you'd just ignore our partisan bullshit and not call us on it, we wouldn't be forced to deflect by calling you partisan, so now we have to double down on the partisan bullshit. Why do you make everything political?"
Understood and I would agree... if we didn't have 30% of the population knowingly chosing the worst option possible every step of the way. I wish these people had been rolling the dice... better results would have turned up more often.
This is my concern. I'm willing to listen to people that know more than me (there are many), but doesn't increased spread lead to increased mutation/variant? That being said, I hope everyone's optimistic predictions happen.
I know he sees this "crowd" and feels negative emotions. I don't know if it comes with any sense of self-awareness, but I know it makes him miserable. I'm not proud of thinking this way, but I'm not ashamed of it either.
So you think Trump had any clue who any of those people were before some think tank lackey told Hope Hicks to mention their name to Trump? You really think any of those people were Trump's choice? Thre point's already been made that you could have had any of those justices with literally any GOP president. You didn't go along because you had to, you went along because you wanted to.
They definitely would have, but I'm also sure that had George lost 2 popular votes, he wouldn't have set himself up to lose a 3rd. But what does it say about where we're at that some Americans are gladly anticipating that possibility?
If only the right could move on from Trump... more specifically Trumpism and the grievance politics that go with it. But here we are still dealing with this bullshit. He may have only intended to use the bullshit to gain power, but it's his movement now. If you want the "but Trump stuff" to end, then do your part to kill it once and for all. But you won't do that... you'll vote for him a 3rd time if you get the chance. Fuck! People didn't vote 3 times for George Washington, but they'll do it for Donald Trump.
Just this very day, the thought occurred to me that Greg Abbott had finally convinced me that he was a shittier governor and a shittier person than Rick Perry. Then, like clockwork, Rick Perry is in the news again. I used to vote for these shitheels. Fucking fuck.
Not funny because I have a sense of humor. My vote has nothing to with my ability to laugh at Joe Biden. A lot of people bought into the bullshit early on. Biden took as an opportunity to make a pretty milquetoast statement against homophobia... so... funny?
Corky was a decent person that didn't want to hurt anyone. Also, I assume his sister would have been involved in his campaign. That would have been just five with me...
See my post above. If they can't blame it on the liberal media, they'll blame it on the school. Schools used to be the pride of the community. People might go to different churches, their preferred places to shop might differ, but schools could always be the common thread that united everyone in the town. Now right-wing brain rot has turned schools into just another bogeyman to be undermined. Nevermind that the adults in the school face the same dangers in school shootings... they're the ones creating the this mess.... and they're doing it on purpose.
