2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
YGIFS replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
so 'Jewblin' then? What's funny to me is that there are people on this very site that believe shit like Copeland Ministries puts out there, and then turns around and laughs at Mormons and Scientologists for their 'weird' belief system. -
What fucking human being who lives with just one other person needs 1,000 Ft.2 walk-in freezer? That's larger than a standard industrial/restaurant 12x12. Unless he picked one up at an Applebee's auction, how the hell does he even know that size? This guy is beyond fucking strange. I'm also noticing you never see video clips or photos with Cheryl anymore, just other weirdoes.

So wait, the media are the lizard people? But they are controlled by the Goblin Masters? So who are the Goblin Masters? Are they the Democratic Elites? Or just non-MAGA voters? Or are they actually like other-worldly goblins come to ruin America from points beyond? I mean, I'm not saying these people should be marginalized. But would it kill them to make a fucking flow chart so I know where everybody stands? -
Pretty much this. One thing you gotta give Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley types is they know they're not likable. They're self aware enough to know even a huge portion of their base doesn't like them, at all. Let alone how the rest of us feel about them. Maybe they kinda get off on it. But you can tell, they're just tossing out soundbite red meat to their minions and they look at the rest of us like, "Yeah, they're stupid dogs...but they're my stupid dogs and they keep in power over you." they don't even try to be cool or comedic or edgy. They know their audience and they know what their resting face looks like. J.D. for some reason still sees himself as the cool tech-bro from Sand Hill Road, the same Hollywood elbow-rubber from when his book got optioned to the studio, the local badass who made good from Southern Ohio. But now, he's just this awkward weirdo, who can't seem to connect with the media, the camera, and certainly not mainstream America. He is a stranger in a strange land and he thinks he can charm his way out of it. But he's getting worse, not confident.

I'm still hung up on what the hell "Midwestern Chic" is? Is that like when you wear a full turtleneck under your buttown-down shirt, instead of just a dickey? Is Lululemon making snowmobiling leggings now? I must now! Yeah, I grew up, and still spend a lot of time in the Midwest. We are not known for our fashion sense. Even my gay friends back there make an attempt and it's like "Meh, I dunno. It's supposed to get above 60 this April so thought I'd get a pink polo. No good?" To Sidis point, I have no idea how some posters remember so much about other posters and their previous posts. I mean, I'm guilty of jumping on somebody's post just above mine on a page, but I don't carry that with me from thread to thread. I know what the people do for a living on here that I know in real life. Pretty sure safesex is a nurse, ArmyBrat is retired and living his best life, and UTPhil seems to work in the mortgage lending business. I exchange posts with Bifftannen on a daily basis and I have no fucking clue what he does in real life. And I think Scheissmeister works in water/wastewater, or maybe that was a long time ago, dunno. I am being dead serious, I have friends I've known for the better part of a decade and I still don't know what their names are. I just say, "Hey man, good to see you." And I don't know what probably 50% of my friends do for a living. I know 25% of their wives names. And I know 10% of their kids names. I'm not trying to be aloof, I genuinely care how their family is doing and if there's ever anything I can do to help. I was just born without that part of my brain. And this place IS NOT HELPING!

'Cow Toe', Stephon? -Yeah, it's like that thing where your the cushions on your leather sofa are poof'd together so tight that it creates this obvious slit that makes you just wanna slide it in.

And he is familiar with Vance refrigeration in the Midwest. You’ve got the two tops accounted for. I guess you could do one relative unknown or rep player; and one splash celeb, between the two veeps. They’ll settle on them soon because writers have been called back between Labor Day and first Saturday. They’ll do weeks of full time writing and pitches before week of regular schedule on 23rd. I’m guessing they’ll all watch convention intently and make the calls after based on who they think they can capture best. This 50th political opening 6 weeks really gave them a lot to work with. For awhile it seemed Like JAJ v Mikey, round 9. Funny and accurate, but nothing groundbreaking. Now they really have a great recipe to work with.

I like the idea, though Steve may come across as a little too dry for a Walz impression. But he’s obviously got range still in his old age. Logistical, he’s got several tour dates in October and early November. And when he gets mini breaks from tour dates, he usually stays in his LA home, not NYC. Stll, if Lorne asked him, he’d make it work. Franken comes to mind. Jim gaffigan could pull it off but he’s never done terribly well on ensemble/sketch comedy. two other thoughts on Vance. Shane Gillis; who was almost a cast meMber and did host well. And dark horse candidate Zach Galifinakis. Aside from the physical resemblance, Zach has the comedic gift of going big while coming across as small. Vance tries to go big but comes across as smaller. Zach would be able to can that to his advantage. There are only six Saturdays between premiere and Election Day. Five will be new, live broadcasts with one set aside for rerun/halloween special/political sketches of the past. They’ll still bring the losing ticket back every now and again throughout season 50. But the main four will have to commit to at least 4 of those 5 shows, if not all 5. Get the blow ready.

I’m noT jumping into this bullshit except to say that I’ve noticed in the last 48 hours between message boards; cable news tv and their websites a huge spike In the (incorrect, mind you) usage of the term "Stockholm Syndrome.". i get nazi and socialist and DEI and all the other dog whistles, but i dont get how they arrived at stockholm syndrome ? -
Can't make any promises, by wife works with kids all along the spectrum every day. She can't ever say it to the parents, but She has noticed in 25 years of practice (Private & Public & Clinical), that parents accept it, make the necessary changes, get into new environs/routing, and have even the faintest hint of less anxiety and frustration.........most of the kids pick up on that and it offers some modicum of solemnity. So your journey was never in vain, challenging as it was and will continue to be. Blessings and best wishes to you and your crew. Onward through the fog...

B and N are close together on a keyboard, you'll get over it. But first...I will need to see pics of this Mormon Soaking Star. She seems nice. -
At this point in the simulation, nothing should be a surprise. I consider myself fairly objective when it comes to City Council/Mayoral shit having been on the inside of the sausage-making and knowing many of them. And I'm totally honest when I say she has been far from the worst council member, far from the most corrupt, far from the most disconnected, far from the most extreme, and has been out there in the community and worked her horn off, I mean tail off, on the constituent relations side of things. There are 3 or 4 council members I wouldn't let piss on my dog if it was on fire. Mackenzie is not one of those. Granted it was a low bar to start, but she's been a pleasant surprise. I can't vote for her, and won't donate to her, but I wish her the best of luck on her bid.

It wasn't called Minnesota State back then though, think of SWT and Texas State or Western College ---> UTEP. That's a great montage of Walz helping his daughter setup an old-school vinyl setup. I bet one year's tuition Trump has no idea where Barron Trump lives while attending BYU, not will he ever visit the place. -

Yeah, it is an HBCU that has traditionally received well-deserved federal assistance. But it's 100% private. I'll give him a pass on this one for trying to make a point. Even Vance, weirdo that he is, carved his way through a non-deal upbringing, served, and went to public university, and reached for what was above his class level. He's been an asshole ever since, but he started out somewhat middle-American. Walz and Harris are beaming lights of the American Dream. Donald Trump is rapidly approaching a net worth which would be easily surpassed had he not just invested his inheritance in index funds, but we're at the point now of a well-structured bond/fixed-income portfolio. He was not only given every single advantage in life to fuck up, he's managing to drag down hundreds of inner circle-folks and tens of thousands of employees down with him. His 3 Presidential runs will be studied as the most complicated credit workout solution in the history of business. We will honestly be unpacking this for decades. -
Uh, Mr. Baio...does 'Charles in Charge' know you kept your wardrobe from the show?

The body language when he slides in "Ya see what I did there?" You get that wrong, the whole bit falls apart. You get just the right amount of mustard on it, it goes in the Presidential Archives. Unlike his hot dish, that was just the right amount of mustard governor. Well done.

This day in baseball history connects two players in a very interesting way. One of whom you know well, the other you probably never heard of. Ted Williams returns from home from another stint in Korea and resumes the season on this day with the Sox. He'll only play 37 games but does masterfully. Over the course of his magnificent career, Ted will hit three home runs in a game, twice in the same season. Ted will be the only player to achieve this feat for 110 years. But on this same date in 1982, little known 3b outside of Baltimore or SoCal...Angels' Doug DeCinces will go yard three times in Seattle. He accomplished the same 3-bomb performance just three days earlier versus the Twins. In that he stood alone with the great Ted Williams.

that's a lot of plot twists in one post for a guy who supposedly doesn't drink -
A number of interesting speakers at TribFest in about a month's time. Including the alluring Jen Psaki. While it overlaps with the Michigan game, if you find yourself downtown on the afternoon after watching the game, I'd highly recommend milling about the Statewide Theater after her 2:15p talk. Jasmine Crockett, I'm sure, will be glad to stop and take pics. So if you happen to get one with her, stand clear of the sweater puppies, blur your face, and post here.

There are 40 "sub-denominations" of Lutheranism. Including "The Big 3" here in the U.S. LCMS, WELS, and ELCA. Having my father's side of my family deeply involved in the Lutheran Church over the past century (my great aunt was the first woman to graduate Harvard Divinity School and went on to become one of the first ordained ministers in the church after the the AALC/Synod shakeup/breakoff. My paternal grandfather was a Church Elder in the LCMS for decades in both Illinois, North Carolina, and Florida. There are a number of churches with plaques dedicated to him and his service. All that to say, to this day, there is a lot of political infighting among Lutherans in the U.S. and Europe, and has been for centuries. Such is the price you pay for being the first Protestant movement. First guy through the wall always gets bloodied. But I'd like to give a friendly pro-tip to Lyman Stone and MAGA nation...85% of the U.S. is not Lutheran nor do they give fuck one about the differences within our protestant faith. I'd add at least 1/3rd of Lutherans aren't active in the church and another 1/3rd don't really care about the divisiveness within the 'Big 3' sects. So that means about 5% of all U.S. adults will actually take serious Walz's outlook on the Augsburg Confession. A country that elected a guy who clearly didn't even know the difference the two biblical testaments and thinks the Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire is when an American Dictator gets all the ketchup on his pasta he wants. Is suddenly gonna get wise on the 28 articles and hold it against a guy from Minnesota who is just happy to be with his family in a congregation of acceptance and faith and love on Sundays? You got a better shot at grabbing America's attention with the couch fucking thing. -
Yeah, I guess part-time between 1970-1976 would have covered it. Makes sense. Sarah Palin only has 180-200 credit hours left to go in higher education before she can be scrubbed from the "Major Party VP nominee with no law school experience." Good for her, I say!

I thought after Yale undergrad, he went straight into the U.S. Navy. There wasn't time enough between the two for him to complete a law degree. Unless he picked one up piecemeal along the way between Reserve Duty and running for Congress in 1972. I guess that's possible, but it would have been mentioned more. If you're talking about the UMass law degree, that was Honorary, not real. I think he did go back and forth to some law school during congressional breaks, I guess he did it long enough to earn a degree. I dunno. I don't know his background as well as others.
