2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

[Surly Bevo 24200]

If Kamala is that clever, she deserves to be president. 

Yea this is the same as when Sleepy Joe was also the greatest “criminal” mastermind in the world.

Any chance Trump would throw Henchcliffe under the bus? Would love nothing more than to see another example of what happens when you kiss his ass just to be thrown away when you no longer are useful to him. Loyalty means nothing to him, less than nothing, and we need more examples of fafo.

Only a matter of time now

But within a few hours, another fire was discovered at a transit center drop box across the Columbia River in Vancouver. Vancouver is the biggest city in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, the site of what is expected to be one of the closest U.S. House races in the country, between first-term Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Republican challenger Joe Kent.

The Puerto Rico thing is double nice because it both offends huge swaths of voters and causes Trump to back down, which offends the rest of his voters.

If the excuse is that he’s a roast comedian, there should still be some context and presented in a humorous way. You don’t just go up and say “Nikki Glaser is a slut and her vagina smells like trash.” That’s all his joke was “Puerto Rico is a floating pile of trash, lol.” He deserves to be shit on for being unfunny if nothing else.

Sure, but they could at least attempt to focus on the economy or immigration. Both of those are legit concerns for many Americans and areas where the GOP could at least pretend to have an edge. Instead, they are hammering us with sex changes at school.

I could probably make a case that the young white male "Rogan" crowd has increased over the last few years, but 1) that's probably the least reliable demographic (when it comes to accomplishing anything, not just voting) in the country and 2) no way it more than offsets stories like the one you present.

Plus, insult material is for an audience that knows it’s a roast and chose to participate.  Or at least knows it’s a comedy show.  Dumb of them to book him, dumb of him to not tone down his set to the audience he knows he’s getting.

Ah Spokompton.....

Spoklahoma.

Spokane is actually a pleasant enough purply-blue city with some excellent golf courses that always seems on the cusp of boom or collapse, and never does either. I have a lot of family history there; g-g-grandparents moved there 125 years ago with their little girl, who grew up and married there and had my grandmother (all three houses they lived in are still there). They all eventually moved to Seattle, though. /csb

The drive from Montana to Spoke isn't bad; it's pretty much through the Rockies the whole way, albeit not the super-scenic parts. It's the drive west from Spokane to Ellensburg that seriously sucks for this part of the country.

Enough of you did that so he was able to come to Power.  It was not by accident.   The Danica Patrick never-paid-attention-and-never-voted-before plan is what made Trump attractive to a whole lot of people and pushed him over the line.

update/correction - many ballots destroyed in Vancouver. Only 2 in Portland.

 

Vancouver by the way was the staging point for the nazis who'd regularly commute to Portland to try to stir up trouble, until they got their asses whooped. They'd all meet in their fascist friend's Vancouver basement apartment before carpooling to Portland. Lots of white supremacist types like @incredulity live there.

[BevoAbyss 1873]

There are millions of dudes like "Jared" in America. MILLIONS. Spoiled middle-aged white pricks who carry the water for MAGA and Trump. They are pathetic. 

I know one. Or should I say, I once knew one.

A dude and friend I knew from UT.  Middle class family. Great parents. But he was fucking spoiled! Oh, he worked and studied hard, but man did he feel self-entitled to everything he desired (Trigger warning 1). Was also New Wave. Loved Devo, The Cars, The Pretenders. And a generally fun dude who was also a player with the ladies.

Also, a Libertarian (Trigger warning 2).

We eventually lost touch for more than two decades.

Out of nowhere, he tracks me down via social media. He's now twice divorced, two kids. I mention that I am headed to LA for business that summer. He invites me to his big ass beach pad outside San Diego. He's made a lot money, worth $14 million (for real). So, I take the bait and buzz down for a visit, top down on the convertible rent car. Great drive.

This is late summer 2016, the election is in full gear.

As I drive up, I see a Trump sign in his yard. He comes running out the door "I know you saw the sign, let's go get some tequila and tacos and we can discuss politics and economics." 

So we head to chic hipster place for tacos and tequila. Great food and drink. Fantastic. Many hot 25-50 year old Cali women.

As we eat, drink and enjoy the talent, he spews out the biggest line of BS for supporting Trump. Unbelievable leaps in logic, absent facts. Hillary was coming for his money, was going to install SOCIALISM, would crash the stock market -- and he WOULD LOSE HIS $$$$ and BEACH MANSION. Because of socialism!

He did not give a shit about the environment, climate catastrophe, the racism of Trump-MAGA. Only that which he thought might threaten his money and beach pad. Socialism! 

He literally believed that a vote for Trump was needed to save his fucking beach pad. He was dead serious. Believed that Hillary and Dems were coming for guys like HIM. They are coming for HIM and his way of life. It was literally insane. His eyes were bugging out at times. 

When I told eventually him (friendly manner) that his imagination was kinda going off the rails with regard to facts and logic, he got pissed. Then trashed one of my books, he claimed he read, and then crudely insulted one of my other more creative works. So I told him to fuck off. 

I picked up the damn check (didn't want to a lazy poor libtard) ... stood up ... turned and told him to never contact me again ... he said something under his breath and headed for the door ....and I walked over to the smoky brunette at the bar who gave me smile. 

TLDR Fuck these spoiled entitled dudes who support Trump-MAGA.
