Finally found something I agree with turnip on. We're a shithole country.

Also the lies about FEMA not helping. My friends in NC are fucking pissed about turnip hampering clean up efforts after Helene.

It's allowed because the rule of law doesn't apply to trump. The MAGA judge doesn't give a fuck about applying the law here.

Yeah, but did he call you the "enemy from within"? A "very bad person"? A "very sick person"? A "radical lunatic"?

He's doing this Nazi crap on the sixth anniversary of the Tree of Life shooting.

I'm old enough to remember when Walz mentioned white people tacos.

The point is the outrage. They know they can't win this without cheating. And they need their cult behind them when they cheat. Get everyone not in the cult outraged, and no longer speaking to their trumpy friends and family. Silo their people off even more from real news.

What's concerning about this isn't the endorsement itself. No idiot who is somehow undecided at this point is going to be reading the WaPo, never mind swayed by what its editorial staff thinks. The problem with the lack of endorsement, and why I canceled my subscription today, is that it's a huge danger sign of what's happened to free press and the First Amendment in this country. Either because of fears of retribution from the government or because the boss is in bed with trump for even more billions, the suits stepped on the editorial board and journalists. So much of the news industry has gone to shit in this country, and WaPo was one of the few remaining semi-responsible media outlets left that actually did some investigative journalism. And now they've just shown that because of either fear or money or both, they're going to bow down to MAGA.

Your love for America is based solely on how many flags you hug or bald eagle pictures you post on Facebook.

Remember when he was going to hire the best people.

He literally tried to overthrow the U.S. government. And then sold state secrets to Russia. And he's the Republican candidate for president in a close race. Nothing will make any difference.

Anecdotal, and I've posted about my Republican friend in NC who seemed weak in her dotard support, but I'd figure she'd probably still quietly vote for him, even if at this point she was clearly too embarrassed to admit it to the rest of us. But after the lies about FEMA, she is PISSED at trump and is openly and vocally supporting Harris.

A million times this. It's not the obvious, blatant bigots who nearly everyone agrees can get fucked. It's the people who turn a blind away or explain away the bigotry and let it flourish.

Hah. That is nothing. When dotard was president, I worked down the street from the small commuter airport he would fly into to golf at Bedminster. Every Friday at 4:30 pm in summer he would fly in, and all the roads would shut down. Without fail. I know it's far from the worst thing he's done, but the selfishness of shutting down all those roads at Friday rush hour to get a game of golf in was infuriating.

I don't mind boring policy discussions. God, I miss the days of boring policy discussions. But I'm not drunk enough to watch boring policy discussion vs. soulless smooth liar pretending to engage in a boring policy discussion while nonstop gaslighting.
