  1. narrator: no one is going to do anything about it.
  2. the Lincoln Project stuff is great. serious question (for anyone, really) - what percentage of current Republicans are of this mindset -even generally - that Trump needs to go? 1/20th of 1%? less? way less?
  3. he’ll claim the pictures are fake and it’s a media hoax and 100% of Republicans will buy it
  4. and this is just a tiny taste of what we will see in November.
  5. these are the folks that make @Johnny Sack proud to be a Republican
  6. nope. nothing of consequence will happen, and everyone will be on to the next act of illegality, treason, or blatant racism by the Trump admin in a week’s time, repeat.
  7. I think it’s significantly more than 2 or 3 points. Then add in voter suppression, foreign interference, and outright election rigging - which will all be done out in the open and with the full and unapologetic support of the entire current GOP - and which I predict will be off the charts in comparison to 2016 - and I think a Trump win is well beyond realistic, if not likely. Not “no way he can’t win,” but the polls don’t mean much to me when I factor these things in. Polls are only meaningful if there is a legitimate election process. I have very close to zero confidence in that happening with Republicans involved.
  8. "True. And Donald Trump is doing a great job" - @Johnny Sack
  9. so, a mainstream Republican in 2020 then
  10. i can't remember who posted it about panera, but every time i drive by the one near my office i think of it and chuckle because its so spot on (doing my best to paraphrase it): "why are you paying $27 for a can of campbell's soup mixed with water heated in a microwave and half an airport kiosk sandwich for $27? because fuck you, that's why"
  11. the kale and cranberry salad in the deli case and salad bars at Whole Foods is awesome.
  12. ate at uchiko sat night. sat in the front room and they never allowed more than 4 of the tables in the room to be occupied at one time. I thought to myself, man, I could really get used to this - nice and quiet, nobody seated anywhere close to us. of course, I don't know that restaurants would survive long running at that capacity.
  13. tried these last night. damn these are good. supper chocolatey
  14. this is where I'm at. i would love to join in on all the optimism, but all the evidence steers me away from doing that. I have zero faith that Republicans will allow there to be an open and legitimate election process. i would feel that same way even if Biden were polling at +24.
  15. the mistake argument only works for me if the person to whom it is being applied has since wholly, vocally, and consistently rejected Trump and every single one of his Republican enablers and sycophants and is now actively working to remove them. otherwise, fuck ‘em, and I’ll do my part, however small it may be, to not support them in any way.
  16. yes, I think that’s right. I was thinking the same thing as JJ - “now who was that poster who revealed himself as a complete and utter moron and starting calling anyone who wasn’t buying the QAnon bullshit he was selling a ‘soy boy?’”
  17. I guarantee you, they actually are.
  18. Somebody say Colombo... Barnaby Jones? I said that already
  19. which is exactly why he cannot, and will not, allow there to be a legitimate election in November. current Republicans also know they are straight fucked if Trump loses. there is very, very little chance that a legitimate election process takes place in November. I wonder why none of them seem all that worried?
  20. GOP voters elected the most dishonest leader this country has ever had, by far, at any level. and they absolutely love Trump for his fundamental and compulsive dishonesty because they think that their guy constantly getting away with lying about everything is really owning the libs. so yeah, color me skeptical of any GOP voter who says they no longer support Trump, and any polls that reflect or suggest diminished support fro Trump among R's. granted, there are former R's who have are appalled by and have completely rejected the GOP in its entirety because of Trump, and those folks seem like a whole different category.
  21. i laughed at the aggy comment. that said, but: a. while i am a mayo with fries guy, ketchup is absolutely acceptable with fries b. who the hell spells it "catsup"
  22. But only 21% think America is heading in the right direction. Trump better start cracking the whip on those remaining 25% of MAGA who aren't totaling sipping the Kool Aid. @Johnny Sack and the remaining 25% think we need more racism and utter incompetence from the President of the United States, and way more lib owning to really get this country on track.
