  1. the last time i did cocaine was when that guy was talking.
  2. listen to ultra, it’s good.
  3. i've seen a lot (too many?) stories lately about "how can we avoid repeating 2016", including a cnn interview with hillary herself. assuming the election was fought fairly (eyeroll), the entire political landscape was different in 2015-16. obama was just in the wh for 8 years. all the dems were docile and relaxed, and trump was seen as a joke of a candidate, and we were overconfident. i admit i thought, even after he won, that he'd just sit there like a knucklehead, because he didn't understand government (not that far off, but whatever). now, we've had trump in our lives for 10 years. turnout has been up every cycle since. nobody is docile. nobody is relaxed. people are quietly confident, but nobody is yelling from the rooftops about it. they're staying angry and making sure everybody else is too. dems who sounded the alarms 2-3 weeks out in 2016 are eerily silent right now. we've got this.
  4. you should. i went down the rabbit hole a couple years ago (i think i even made a post about it) and watched/read/listened to a ton of stuff about the late 30's - basically what was going on in the u.s. after hitler invaded poland but before we got involved in the war. it's really fascinating. maddow did a podcast called "ultra" that was great, whether you like her or not. i watched "the plot against america" (which i skipped when it aired), oliver stone's untold history of the united states. it's a really interesting chunk of american history that nobody really pays attention to (or purposely forgets) because 1941-1945 overshadows it all. the older i get, the more i realize even at a good middle school/public high school/ut, i don't know shit about history outside of the major events and what becomes a tv show or movie. consider that most of maga + the orange man-god himself relies mostly on jr high education (he's still learning about abraham lincoln ffs) and bold type history. you shouldn't need more motivation than that. over the past 10 years or so, what i used to consume in sports, i now consume in history. then i found the surly cloak room and flushed it all down the toilet. so thanks. assholes.
  5. there’s also a clip where he says “kamala” several times and pronounces it correctly every time.
  6. yesterday was “skullduggery”.
  7. how exactly do we explain this to our grandkids?
  8. he gives bullshit excuses for being late just like us!
  9. of course he agreed to no limits. he just won’t answer the hard questions. or the easy questions. he doesn’t answer questions. is my point.
  10. would’ve gone with “let’s do nothing then blame someone else” but close enough.
  11. that's silly. he'd fall out a window or get poisoned.
  12. yeah, seems like cnn waited until the last possible moment to grow a fucking pair. don't be surprised if you see some firings/resigning from producers/talent there, fucking billionaires. though at this point, not sure anyone involved with the disco bros disaster has any money left, so maybe just millionaires.
  13. “we do not have government by the majority. we have government by the majority who participate.”
  14. the issue is that staying out of it (when you never have before) is putting their thumbs on the scale. a non-endorsement is a tacit endorsement of trump. especially if everyone is expecting them to endorse kamala. he's been completely normalized and the damage is done. it's kinda like when pete rose said he never bet against his own team. right. well when you bet on your own team 3 days in a row, then the 4th day you don't bet on the game at all, then what's the fucking difference?
  15. the chances to 6-7x your $ are on the dem ec ranges. on dems 35-64 and 65-104 for 12-14c a pop. not much movement except down a bit, so of course i bought more. turning 73 into 100 is great but with the fees you’re not clearing much.
  16. line forms at 3pm. rally starts at 7. assume 20k will be in line by 4-5pm.
  17. ben shapiro pees sitting down. facing the toilet.
  18. fuck this whole fucking puppet show.
