Just as long as no Surly posters do what Trump's former campaign manager did tonight, and barricade himself in his house and threaten to kill himself (narrator: He didn't, the police managed to apprehend him and put him in a hospital).

I've got a few relatives and former friends/co-workers that I'm a little concerned about.  I can only imagine what the internet will be like, and I'm sure Surly will be flooded with astroturfers/gaslighters/all manners of trolls.

I'm going to avoid Facebook, twitter, etc. for a few days/weeks/months.  It'll be really fucking ugly everywhere.

We had a poster threaten to kill his wife a while back. We have a head start

Not as worried if Biden wins. This goes beyond making fun of people’s politics that one doesn’t agree with.  I have major concerns with pandemic depression, which I think is a very real thing, and social injustices, and the combination thereof in a situation where Trump wins. 

This is why I’m apolitical. If I tout my GOP nature when that assclown is in office, I feel I’m a target of some degree. I’m not really worried about me, but worried for the first time in my life about wildass mobs and it affecting people I know, and I’m not talking about protest idiots on either side. 

You're about as apolitical as the Daily Texan BLM thread is.

I empathize with political sarcasm, it's one of my only positive attributes.  

There's a 1% chance of any of that happening with Joe Biden in the Oval Office.  I concede that, and am overwhelmingly supporting him nonetheless.  

There's not a 0% chance of any of that happening with Donald Trump in a second term.  In fact, the exact opposite of everything you facetiously proposed will happen under his watch.  

I'll take 1% of something decent possibly happening in the next 4 years than a 100% guarantee of an even worse shit-show in the next 4 years.

To the point of this particular forum though...we really are gonna need to sort out what we do with the myriad forums on here.  I think the CR can go back to a space of policy analysis and critiquing the White House instead of it just being a litany of horrors like it is now.  And then DT can probably pivot, in a responsible fashion, to just a pure news forum where we sorta track how 2021 is sorting out 2020 instead of just being adamant Trumpers bitching and moaning.  I'd love to see something for us former GOP'ers who actually have remained true to our liberty/small-government/great America vision, but that's probably not enough traffic to warrant a whole forum.  And then we still need a hangout for Trumpers in 2021 who can't get over themselves or their fallen Messiah, they really do need a safe space to commiserate.

Yeah it has been horrible.  I agree.

I have to go turn on The Daily Show and Samantha Bee to get more news to inform myself of all the evil that Trump has done and how awesome Joe is just as soon as I get off twitter.

Hey, I get it. Y’all hate Trump. Guess what, I think he is disgusting as well and will vote for a to be determined write in candidate. But don’t act like Biden is the answer to any question other than “who else is running for President and not named Trump”. You are either utterly and completely full of shit, disingenuous, or stupid beyond all reason if you think Biden is fit to be President...or maybe all three.

I've watched hundreds of hours of video of my speech-therapist wife treating elderly people for speech issues from dementia to articulation issues to bad falls.  She would remove the names and then just help me evaluate in terms of empathy and clarity with their family members present.  and I was almost amazed at her patience, but always gut-wrenched with watching these people struggle with simple pronunciations and vocabulary recall.  How they would cling to the same few words because it felt safe and familiar.  And it was really hard to watch their children in the background watching their lifelong heroes (typically dad or granddad) struggle with even the simplest of communication foundations.  We both would cry sometimes, but it made her a better therapist.  

But the saddest thing I ever saw was a Rose Garden press conference about 5 months when Trump was hosting several C-level folks from Big Pharma making their all-out assault on the vaccine.  I applauded the idea but there was a segment when he was actually on-script halfway through the press conference.  And he was trying to say the names of the some of the people and the companies and it was like watching the worst speech-pathologist training video produced by Eli Roth.  The verbal disaster ended up inspiring dozens of speech therapy papers all over the nation.  I know Joe's tough to listen to, but at least he has a few sincere bones in his body.  

that day, Trump sounded like a dolphin swallowing its own tongue while trying to learn Portuguese via a James Earl Jones impersonation.

Two old fucks are running and one of them will be president.  I want the one who can ride a bike, could probably walk down a ramp without assistance, and who I won't worry about withdrawing from NATO and nuking Germany because Angela Merkel hurt his feelings to be president.

It is mind bottling that some of you are arguing that voting for Biden will produce no better result than Trump. That’s just about the dumbest thing on the Internet.

All you have to do is go down the list of just about every single issue the idiot Trump has dealt with to identify a much more effective approach to solving the problem, and there is no reason a competent human being can’t do better, and the evidence is clear that Trump is completely incompetent and Biden has a forty year plus record of at least being a competent politician.

You may not like a particular position on an issue but this election is about competence vs incompetence. Amazing some of you can’t see that.

You guys are right Joe is the man.  He gets so much done so fast he shuts his day down at 10am everyday.  He is a machine!!  You just wait until he wins and gets in the Oval office.  It is going be like unicorns sleeping under rainbows and the whole country will be happy again.  He is on top of his game and sharp as the sharpest blade.

All while stupid Trump is out burning up fossil fuels destroying our planet by flying around to rallies. Having press conferences and answering questions form the media, and it takes him all day to do it.  Lazy fuck.  And all those idiots who don't have electric cars cause they don't care about the environment or are poor rednecks show up wasting more of our planets resources that will run out any day now.  Fucking selfish assholes.

MobyRic---I want to smoke what you're smoking.  

Here's why I am voting for Biden, your hyperbole aside.  Have you ever been on a real hot streak in terms of women?  Just had a great run of banging 8's and 9's and you decided one day, "You know what?  I love banging hot women.  I'm gonna keep doing what I need to do in life so that I can keep hanging around 8's and 9's and keep myself in a position to nail them!"  Well that's how millions and millions of us felt about sticking with the GOP and/or Libertarian Party.

And then one day, you're in a dry spell and things aren't going great at work.  And you got shit going on with family and friends and hobbies and job interviews.  And things just aren't looking that great.  It's not dire, but it's pretty bad.  And then the usual Ass-a-Thon that is Halloween, even that doesn't get you out of your rough streak.  All aspects of your life aren't going great and you could really use a good lay.  And a few days after Halloween, two options emerge.  An older potential lay.  She's a 5, and that's on a really, really good day if you're half in the bag and lying to yourself.  The other option is a 3 or 4 at best who is really lying to you, she's actually a fat 2 that is just drenched in bad makeup and deceit.  And she's actively trying to kill your older relatives.  Sure she's probably more fun in the sack and makes you feel better about what a disgusting piece of human shit you are, but she also stole your TV to pawn while you were sleeping and took a shit in your freezer.  And it's a top-load freezer...I mean who does that?  That's where I'm at on these two dipshits.

Bottom line, Joe is old, Joe isn't as sharp as he used to be and Joe wasn't my first choice. So what, Joe isn't a piece of shit narcissistic asshole that thinks he's the smarter than everyone else. Joe will listen to advisers, he will listen to experts he won't fuck over the American people in order to enrich himself like Trump has and will continue to do. He won't have piece of shit sociopaths like Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner deciding national policy.

 

Joe may embarrass himself from time to time but at least he won't be embarrassing America.

Preach on, Joe is no embarrassment.  I don't believe any of those lies about hair sniffing, leg hair rubbing embarrassing gaffs and dementia.  He hasn't said anything bad about the black community or Obama like they finally found one who is articulate clean and stuff, I bet that was Trump.  I bet he never supported KKK members in the Senate, or supported legislation keep his white kids out of the Jungle schools in the inner cities.  Or that unfairly targeted the black community at all like a crime bill.  I bet he passed bills that reduced sentences for non violent crimes, and put lots of money into black colleges and communities so they could grow.  Trump would never do anything like that.  All lies.  All of this stuff about his kid using his name and job title to get positions on boards in foreign countries and millions in loans and payments form the Chinese and Russia are all just lies lies lies.  Trump is the real Russian agent, I don't care what some dumb 3 year investigative report says.  I am sure he has threatened to hold funds to countries unless they fire people that are investigating his family.  But not trustworthy Joe, he is an honest man through and through.  The guy gave like $900 to charity last year.  That is so awesome Trump would never donate some amount that huge to anyone.  

 

Got to get back to twitter!!!

If we were blessed and I mean truly blessed...and we had not broke our covenant with God...then the least he could have given us in 2020 is Buttafuoco v. Gilloly.

It wouldn't be the race we needed, but at the least the one we deserved.  

As it stands, half this site is in a pissy-fit because we don't respect the guy running as a serial sexual assaulting, lying sack of incompetent shit who is incapable of making money in Manhattan real estate with the entire capital stack filled out by his daddy.  And the bad news is his opponent doesn't even know if the description I just gave refers to him...and I'm still voting for that second guy. Two guys who could fuck up a cup of coffee, I'm just going with the guy who at least knows what "coffee" is.

This site should be leaps and bounds above that news garbage (FB, etc.) given our education levels and access to quality information and influence. And we should have plenty of low-brow content, that's why I love this place.  But when it comes to politics and current events (Covid-19, racial justice, etc.)...we fail miserably for myriad reasons we cover on other threads.  

That's why I trust NextTok for all my election news.  They conveniently alert me to which gang of color is coming to steal my ballot from my front-door mailbox.  It's all merged with my Nest Camera which then alerts my conspiracy-laced roving gang of choice (usually ProudBois or Boogaloo Boys) to come throw hands with the Latin illegals in question.  Their premium package also does my federal income taxes for me while saving my coal-based paper products job in Youngstown, Ohio.

Can we rename this thread to "civics hot takes"?

Fine by me, but I've often mistyped "Civic Hotcakes" and it's a totally different set of pics on google.  Just FYI.  There is just a not-right amount of city hall/breakfast themed step-porno out there than I'd care to realize.  The Judge on Jury Waffle stuff just gets sticky at the end, and not in a fun way.

I don't think people who spend most of their time in the bag posting incomprehensible shit like this should be allowed to vote.

My new nickname for Joe is Smoking Joe cause he was on fire last night.  So on point that he made Trump look like an idiot.  Was Trump even there?!  Wolf Blitzer was right, we can all feel better today knowing that Joe can sit through a single debate without drooling.  He is truly ready to lead this country.  Smoking Joe!!!!  Socialism and mask mandates are going to be AWESOME!!  Can't wait to hear what the Daily Show has to say.  Best news show on TV.

And Joe totally was not being fed answers via a wire.  That was just a thread on his coat it happens to all of us.  The videos of that on youtube are all doctored.  But I am disappointed he said we would not get the Green new Deal, even though his running mate sponsored it and he said he supported it.  It was was going to make the world a better place.  And he did not answer the pack the courts question, cause we need to pack the SCOTUS with more liberal justices so we get our way.
