  1. fuck this whole fucking puppet show.
  2. hundo p. so my mother voted a couple days ago, and the normal spot she goes to was slammed, so she went to one by hcc. anyhow, it took 30-40 min, and she was in line behind 3 hcc students so they get to talking. they are all going to vote, because they get a grade bump if they do, so good for hcc i guess. as they're getting close to the front, one of the kids asks my mother who he should vote for. apparently he says something like, "i'm a minority, so i should probably vote for kamala, right?" without regard for "what is right" and not wanting to turn a short conversation into a longer conversation, my mom just says, "yes." long story short, by the time they reached the front, he realized he didn't have his id. or he knew he didn't have his id, but realized he needed it. so after 40 minutes, he had to run home and get it. undecideds are not not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
  3. close. the back row other woman. it's worth a watch, it won't make you ragey. front right and left say they are voting harris. back row blonde seemed to be leaning that way too. back row left seemed to be leaning kamala but wanted a cleaner campaign overall, but it was the way she spread blame pretty equally that put me off, as i posted. front row center liked kamala, didn't like trump, but is a single-issue voter - abortion. or "right to life" as he kept putting it. he doesn't know if he can vote for her because of that. i will never understand people like that. if you're against abortion, you don't have to have one. and if you're that guy and are able to have sex, just aim for the mid-level hookers, because kamala is going to fuck your economy up and sticking to a budget is important.
  4. no idea if anyone watched kamala's town hall or the aftermath on cnn, but i watched the latter, and there was a segment with john king where he talked with 5 of the undecided voters in the audience. it probably lives online somewhere, but one interaction just got re-run on tapper's show just now, and it was basically a woman saying "stop with the insults, the voters don't care about that." here is the disconnect that drives me fucking crazy. taken just as the soundbite ^ it's fine. it's probably good political advice, or at least was in the 70's or 80's, and fine in down-ballot or local races. but this is what is actually happening: kamala - look at what he's done in the past, look at what he says he's going to do, he's a danger to democracy and to american citizens. trump - she's a disgrace, she's really dumb. voter - can we stop with all the mudslinging?!
  5. i'm enjoying the weird turn this thread has taken. also you don't do lines off chick's asses, that's a rookie move. the hipbone is perfectly contoured for this type of mischief, and is located in a safe area close to fun areas. or so i'm told.
  6. also i won't stand idly by while chili's gets lumped in with applebee's. i'm honestly not sure if i've ever been to an applebee's.
  7. to be fair, i haven't had the sandwich in years. she won't go to fucking chili's.
  8. can we get serious for a minute? y'all can bag on chili's all you want, but there is not a chain within 7 miles of me in any direction, and the closest chili's is 9+ miles away. i know in texas, 9 miles takes 9 minutes, but here that's like an hour. some nights, i would kill half of you for a nice chicken ranch sandwich. they basically invented the buffalo chicken sandwich as far as i'm concerned, and have gotten no real props for that. sorry to get all real with you, but there are more serious issues in the world than the presidential election. as you were.
  9. yep, just another obvious example of the gop ditching him. wait…
  10. you guys:
  11. it's not my job to be the arbiter of what people mean, but pretty much everyone's response will mean "this won't make a difference to the voters." nobody will mean "what happened didn't matter". any bombshell-style news teased on twitter and dropped ~2 weeks before an insanely important election has to be viewed through that lens. so let me be the millionth person to say this won't make a difference to the voters. the republican nominee for president is a predator. it's a feature, not a bug.
  12. he didn't skip it. he's skipping to ave maria.
  13. people - we don't even know who she really is yet! also people - she needs to stop telling us about herself!
  14. keep early voting was my truth.
  15. let's play 1 truth and 5 lies.
  16. btw, the whole fascist/hitler/general comment situation - i understand a bunch of spokespeople are denying the shit out of something that trump definitely said, sounds like stuff he's said in the past, and i'm pretty sure this specific thing has been talked about before, whatever. has anyone actually asked him? "sir, did you ever say you'd like to have generals like hitler had?" zero chance he would straight deny it. 80/20 says he rationalizes it into saying they were loyal.
  17. everything you're hoping for is what is most likely to happen.
  18. they = gop politicians. it's not up to them. it's up to the maga voters. they will support him until he dies and then probably for a while after that.
  19. you're both totally right. they've been losing elections consistently since 2018 and look where we are. every republican on the ballot is kissing his ass and parroting his shit on tv. when they lose, you think they'll start a revolution to force him out of the party? here's a cheat sheet, they won't. they'll get primaried or change professions. you kiss the ring or find something else to do. it will be like this until he dies.
