  1. Considering it is widely believed that Obama’s roast began Trump’s political career, it would be incredibly fitting if a roast comic ended it.
  2. So it took a while but it’s unmistakably clear now: way, WAY more Trump signage in Katy now than in 2020.
  3. Comedians who whine about cancel culture always will say something like “don’t come to the place where we tell jokes if you cannot handle jokes” (which I absolutely agree with!) The implication, of course, is that they recognize that the things they say are not acceptable in all situations. A political rally, for example, would be at the top of that list. He won’t be, but this dude needs to be ruined.
  4. JD Vance is the epitome of everything Republican voters said they hated about politicians in 2016 when they supported Trump.
  5. The ceiling for a team led by Reed is much, much lower than Weigman when teams prepare for him.
  6. Says the man still on the fence about Trump’s position on Ukraine.
  7. Live look at Russia vs all your friends and family because you treated this vote like a reality show.
  8. I think you’re confusing confidence and optimism. I’d call this forum optimistic for Kamala’s chances, not confident. Eight years ago was very different. The national media was basically already crowning Hillary, while downballot Democrats were trying to sound the alarm and the MAGA enthusiasm was obviously through the roof. No idea what this year will bring, but the narrative is currently favoring Trump yet no Democrats are publicly sounding the alarm, Kamala is drawing 30k on a Friday night, and Republicans are claiming that electoral college electors should be awarded prior to counting votes. Again, I’m not CONFIDENT in her chances, but there are a lot of things that would make a Kamala win look obvious in hindsight.
  9. There would be numerous posters on this very board claiming that this is a fine, logical, legal idea and our Trump Derangement Syndrome/hatred for America prevents us from seeing that.
  10. I know we are so far beyond stuff like this, but it reminded me that Trump thought a reasonable exaggeration for the crowd outside his McDonalds stunt was TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND, aka the same size as the Kamala rally last night. I can’t believe we are this close to putting a man that stupid back in office.
  11. To be clear, I hate Trump BECAUSE I love this country.
  12. Once you sober up, we’re patiently waiting for some responses in the [special] thread.
  13. Look man, I wasn’t trying to be snarky. The biggest frustration many of us have with Trump has nothing to do with the man himself, it has to do with what he has done to the people we love most in this world. Over the last eight years, I’ve seen many of my closest family and friends start supporting causes that would have seemed unfathomable to them before 2016, all in the name of politics. That “red line” seems non-existent to many folks, so I was just curious if this would be one for you or just another excuse to move the goalposts.
  14. If you are wrong, and to be clear I very much hope you are not, what will that do to your relationship with Donald Trump and the Republican Party?
  15. I appreciate the honest response, although it strikes me as wishful thinking at best… dangerous negligence at worst. Honestly, can you cite any instances where Trump has shown the ability to stand up to Putin? My observations of him over the last 8 years resemble someone who idolizes the leader of Russia, not someone willing to tell him to stop.
  16. (he doesn’t realize that it’s about his team)
  17. Definitely feel like something shifted with Tapper in the last few days. Hopefully more follow suit.
  18. A full arena plus tens of thousands turned away isn't the worst visual for Houston, TX, however.
  19. It's honestly remarkable (yet not shocking) that this won't be a huge story. Even early in the Trump administration, this still would have been earth-shattering news. Trump's degradation of norms and what is viewed as "newsworthy" will be something that harms this country far beyond his lifetime.
  20. FWIW, doesn't seem like you say this kind of shit if you think you're about to win.
  21. Fair - Rome is/was the worst.
  22. The last few pages of this thread should be required reading for anyone whining about the "CR Cabal" or whatever. Multiple detailed, well thought-out posts explaining folks' problems with the current status of the Republican party. Multiple former Republicans explaining exactly why they have switched sides of the aisle. Multiple posts that are absolutely begging for a genuine, back and forth conversation. And what's the response: fuckin' nothing. I know y'all are all in here lurking - let's talk.
  23. Same exact list for me, although I'd probably add Genevieve as well.
