  1. this is how you surly. don't read. just bang the keyboard.
  2. it's amazing though that he's in such a financial pinch that this would be the final factor for vp. this dude brings zero votes. pence had a purpose. tim scott would have a purpose. jd vance would have a purpose. jim jordan could have a purpose. noem pre-cricket had a purpose. every one of those would arguably make trump's appeal a little bigger. this dude gets you only back to zero.
  3. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/mar/03/secret-donald-trump-voters-speak-out
  4. my favorite justification for voting trump (ca. 2016 you heard this more) is "he's rich. he can't be bought." because rich people famously stop wanting more money.
  5. online leftists: religious people on dumb and mockable. also: i never want to win another election in my lifetime. According to an average of all 2023 Gallup polling, about three in four Americans said they identify with a specific religious faith. By far the largest proportion, 68%, identify with a Christian religion, including 33% who are Protestant, 22% Catholic and 13% who identify with another Christian religion or simply as a "Christian."
  6. trump just says stuff a lot. most of it is just riffing because he like to hear himself talk. very little of it matters. that's where i think that people can stake out their claims on things like "bleach hoax." one side can claim that they were the Words Of The President, and all that implies. one side can say he was just up there talking, no one is moving forward with any of this. one of the many problems of having a very unserious person in charge. “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds – it sounds interesting to me.”
  7. Surely there is some game between WSU, TT, MSU where the non Leach team won. Have that team forfeit it. It’d be a fitting way for a tribute from one of the programs that should be honoring him.
  8. The comedic touch of “we’ll be keeping a close eye on it“ on the marriage one is hilarious.
  9. which means! it's partly alive.
  10. we shouldn't completely abandon the idea of civic duty.
  11. just googled it, not expecting to come up with anything useful. turns out WaPo answers it in discussing something else. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/06/28/bidens-false-claim-that-2nd-amendment-bans-cannon-ownership/ key point: the constitution authorizes grants of letters of marque and reprisal. those are given to ordinary citizens. implicit in there is that there is someone out already outfitted to carry out high seas piracy.
  12. Did people own the ICBMs of the day: could an ordinary citizen have his own 80 cannon ship?
  13. you're to my favorite parts. 3 is good. 4 is my favorite.
  14. it would, also, put us in a historic world of having a president that will never be elected president: fillmore, tyler, arthur, the shitty johnson, ford, then harris once biden croaks. i got a little comma happy there. forgive me.
  15. i have three longtime republican brothers, each a bit of a different flavor: one aggy, two red raiders. one uber catholic, one damn near prosperity gospel, one borderline conspiracy theorist. they range from solid middle class to 1 percenter. each of them thinks biden's reelection is a foregone conclusion. i think it stems from the educated republican sensing a pullback for their kind's support of trump. couldn't tell you whether these specific ones did/will vote trump, although the odds on favorite would be 2/3 did last time and 3/3 did first time.
  16. WaPo: Special elections correlate with house elections, but not presidential. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/12/special-elections-give-sense-house-results-not-presidential/ Behold!: Yeah they do. 4 out of 8 correlate very closely. 2 weakly. 2 inverse. That is enough to say it has some meaning to me.
  17. black nonsubmissive female is the ultimate boogeyman for the right wing.
  18. side question: how do teleprompters break? seems to happen all the time to all politicians. this is the single most basic piece of technology out there.
  19. Next time you’re out among the unwashed try to picture the average dude you see pulling for Biden. I was just in Port Aransas, Angel Fire and Red River and it’s tough.
  20. Given that any one of our nuke subs could end the world, what exactly does it take to be a strong navy?
