Don’t worry, Putin is his guarantor for the loan.

“Winning the battle is worth losing the war”

(Trump, The Art of the Deal, pp. 179-181)

If I told my boss I have concepts of a plan during an important call with clients, I’d be fired. The fact he said this thinking it would absolve him of having to actually outline actual policy shows how empty the campaign is on anything of substance.

I have great hopes for this meme and hope it is as influential as “binders of women” in showing the absurd thinking behind the most important job in the world.

This is kinda the plot of a Black Mirror episode, Striking Vipers.

the only poll that matters is the actual election

I really want to be pleasantly surprised therefore I don’t think Florida can pull it off and will vote for the weird fascists. Prove me wrong FL.

Right, there were 52 other Republican senators who could have had some spine and voted for their country over their party, but didn’t. If anyone should be singled out for being at fault, it’s Mitch McConnell, who voted against Trump’s second impeachment conviction, even though he stated “There’s no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day”. As the senate majority leader, he could have whipped the other Republicans to stand up to Trump, but didn’t, effectively finalizing handing the party over to Trump.

Mitt Romney was literally the only Republican senator who voted to remove Trump for both impeachment trials. Not sure what you’re referring to but all the other Republicans voting party over country are to blame.

Had they impeached Trump after Jan. 6th the. Trump would be ineligible to run for president now and we wouldn’t be in this mess

Regardless of the altercation with the employee, is there no enforcement in that Section 60 rule which prohibits political campaigning? Why even have that if it’s not enforced? Seems like this is just enabling a rabid base to be the attack dogs for an unhinged person running for president.

There’s a whole Wikipedia article about the legality of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutionality_of_the_National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

With this Supreme Court, my rule.of thumb is they will always pick the worst side of a debate, even if that goes against precedent and the constitution.

This is just a bandaid and the conservative justices on the supreme court will strike it down for some stupid reason.

Probably not, the only hope prior to the election is the hush money case which is unblocked and will have sentencing in 2 weeks, on September 18th.

The TSA press office said in a statement that this vulnerability could not be used to access a KCM checkpoint because the TSA initiates a vetting process before issuing a KCM barcode to a new member. However, a KCM barcode is not required to use KCM checkpoints, as the TSO can enter an airline employee ID manually. After we informed the TSA of this, they deleted the section of their website that mentions manually entering an employee ID, and did not respond to our correction. We have confirmed that the interface used by TSOs still allows manual input of employee IDs.

TSA: lalala i can’t hear you, everything is fine, no issue here

These are probably comments on this Veritasium video which actually pretty informative.

That being said, I also live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.

Have there ever been weirder candidates? Fucking a couch is the least weird thing compared to chainsawing a whale’s head or abandoning a dead bear cub in Central Park, and the former is the only one of those probably not true (although Vance hasn’t denied it).

Sounds like someone accidentally created an account with your name. As someone who has firstname.lastname@gmail.com this happens a lot. About 10 years ago, amazon.ca allowed you to create an account and start using it without verifying control of the email address. I woke up one day and saw all orders someone made, their address, last 4 digits of their credit card number, etc. Customer service doesn’t care. Ended up having to reset their password to get them to stop.

Trump has been convicted, 34 times, actually. Will he go to prison is the question. If he does, I doubt he’d have a cellmate. He’ll probably be in a Four Seasons version of prison.

Barron Trump has been 100% unmentioned especially by his father, who doesn’t want to be seen next to him because Barron is taller.

How can she slap sue?

For an individual in 2024 to pay 28% of income in federal taxes, you’d have to make $500,000 according to this calculator.

Biden resigning now just to make Trump’s hats invalid would be the best Dark Brandon move ever.
