  1. Sure, buddy. Also, Robert Caro spends an awful lot of time hating on a man who did this:
  2. Do you think Biden would have survived that SS tackle or are you chortling at how feeble he is?
  3. I’m not sure, barring Trump coming out with some sort of Kum-ba-ya Reaganesque “we all need to come together to save America and I’m the first to moderate ” moment, this changed things all that much, other than making him look much more physically robust than Biden. What reliable likely voters are most likely to change their vote based on Saturday: older white men who consider themselves Reagan Republicans who are likely to rally back to the GOP flag. The question is whether they stay there when the crazy starts to creep back in. By Wednesday we are going to be shoulder deep in GQP conspiracy and angry talk. Maybe, Trump’s folks will tone the convention down, but what in recent memory has shown any indication they ever take their foot off the gas? Maybe the entire country will Rally to Trump like Johnson in 64, but that seems….unlikely given how deep our political divisions are.
  4. Nvrmind
  5. Also: it’s often a box you check in closed primary states when you get a drivers license. I did it last year when I moved back into the District.
  6. I was not going to post here, but it sorta confirms the rule/joke that you can get anywhere by carrying a ladder and looking official.
  7. I mean, I guess remaking Winter Soldier is a creative choice, but it doesn't give me any confidence that Marvel has shaken itself out of the rut it is in.
  8. Honestly, this is a better gif for the city rn. I'm going to get absolutely shit ass tonight.
  9. Prolly more Ana De Armas, Angela White, and Aubrey Plaza for me.
  10. The House decides. By state delegation. Assuming you don’t have a faithless elector.
  11. Dude, that is not the preferred nomenclature.
  12. Real Talk: It's not clear to me that Joe will be able to be publicly sworn in next January even if he wins. This is why he's gotta step aside: It's more than a little fucking morbid that there are people on this thread who are essentially advancing a "Joe is just gotta win, then he can drop dead" line. Let's be honest, that was the line in 2020, when we all just needed him to get sworn in, then democracy saved. The fact that he is running again after that was the game plan 4 years ago is appalling.
  13. lot of too soon Charlie Strong and Mack Brown failing Texas football references in this thread.
  14. This. How many times do I have to say there is no Peak Trump. It's never going to happen. He could shoot Biden during a debate, take a shit on stage, smear it all over himself, and fuck a goat and 45% of the voting public will vote for him.
  15. Ah. The USC of the East Coast.
  16. He's an adult now and campaigning for his dad, so I don't feel shy about sharing any more: There were pretty strong rumors that he has either learning disabilities or is neurodivergent in some fashion. The private school he went to is known for quietly catering to special needs without being open about it, as opposed to the Lab School of Washington, which is the go to for rich parents with kids who need premier atypical learning/education.
  17. It means he didn't get in an Ivy (specifically Penn), or a near Ivy. And Trump is mortified.
  18. YEah, he's gotta a little golf prick/fleece vest/Youngkin in him when he tones down the wingnut.
  19. Holy fuck, stop with it was the meltdown, not the debate that is the crisis. if elected, Biden has to govern for four more years. It’s clear he cannot. Which means we are functionally being asked to vote for Harris. But folks don’t like that. As an intellectual argument that’s both flawed, and kinda misogynist.
  20. Those of us that have lost a parent to mental decline can attest to the way it seems to accelerate from “Grampa is slowing down but otherwise good” to “we need to take away the keys and start calling retirement homes”
