  1. Walz went to Chadron? Talk about humble beginnings.
  2. I'm pretty sure that Musk will still be insanely wealthy with a devoted following of techbros and angry virgins regardless of what happens to Trump.
  3. Sure, I get the intention. But Musk is also the guy who regularly gets pissy in earning calls, insults investors and causes the value of his company to drop. He is not stable. And Trump isn't great at not offending people. I think Musk is looking to build a political machine beyond Trump, beyond 2024. He wants to use Trump, but if shit starts going sideways, he'll call Trump an idiot.
  4. This has trainwreck written all over it. It's a coin flip on whether Musk turns on Trump mid-interview. It Trump's world, people are either for him or against him. Friendly outlets like FoxNews and Newsmax are going to do their best to carry him through an interview. But Musk is just a nutter with a ego that rivals Trump.
  5. I'm originally from Nebraska, but lived in Minneapolis for a year. In Nebraska, you have the snow/melt cycles. In Minny, it's like you say. So, for Nebraska winters, you stay inside and work around the cold/snow for decent weather to get outside. In Minneapolis, they just plan on playing in the snow - cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing - even weekly parades downtown in bitch ass cold weather. It seems to work for them. My boss told me to head out a couple hours early a couple of times because of the weather. (And it took 3 hours to get home.) But, if it was that bad, there was no way I was going to go in on a heavy snow day.
  6. I have no idea if Walz will help with uneducated whites. I do know that anyone who is comparing presidential cycles vs. non-presidential cycles is pretty suspect. And why aren't they including 2018, which was Walz's first election as governor?
  7. I think the lack of a primary or incumbent adds to it. The field was wide open.
  8. Also worth mentioning that there were plenty of bullets and bloodshed. Just not from Gandhi.
  9. A girl’s got to have standards.
  10. That clip works on so many levels. Everybody behind him seems like they’d rather be anywhere else. It highlights that a well-known Republican woman in the state will not endorse him. And, of course, the grievance/whining politics. I know I’ve underestimated his appeal before (and overestimated the public) but damn this is a train wreck campaign.
  11. If he was Christian and had taken a hardline on anti-Israel protests? Yeah, I think I’d have a bigger issue with him. For me, worst case scenario with Shapiro: he gets the nod, anti-Israel protests at the convention get much worse than they’d be without him, media can’t stop talking about Chicago ‘68, and Dems get painted with the chaos, lose any of the “normal vs weird” mojo they built. Best case scenario for me is he takes a stronger line against Israel, and it’s one of those Nixon/China things were his past stances helps with a controversial policy. That’s not just because he’s Jewish, but it doesn’t hurt. Edit: fuck, quoted wrong post on tapa.
  12. Trump offers up a debate, but on fox instead of abc.
  13. Right now, I think if it's not him, then the campaign made a misstep by keeping him around this long. If the Israel issue was going to be a disqualifier, then they should cut him early on. Not picking him will be more conspicuous to pro-Israel and Jewish voters. Although, I do think it was interesting that the UAW leader said Walz and Beshear I would have thought Shapiro would be a favorite of the unions.
  14. That's a good deal. I'd take that deal. But Kamala gets to carve a swastika into his forehead.
  15. I think the interview was the longest, continuous clip of Trump I have seen in at least four years, maybe six or seven years. It's tough to do. It's like this weird visceral disgust combined with boredom. He is just, so fucking boring. It would be worse if he wasn't such a weird dumbshit, more boring I mean. The limited vocabulary, the pointless tangents and flashbacks, the repetition, the fucking droning. Without his idiocy, he's basically Uncle Colm. So, been a while since I've watched his schtick. Was he leaning into Jan 6th that much at the convention? I mean, that wasn't just him not being responsible. That was him saying it wasn't a big deal and that that security shot the chick "for just protesting." That was him blaming cops for letting the protestors in. I mean, I though the public was consistently against the J6 as just protest. That seems like a huge liability if he is going to push that.
  16. Agreed. The Republicans want to defend Trump's statements for not being racist. As Democrats, we see that argument, know it's horrible logic, are confident we can win the argument, and then engage. The problem is America already knows Trump is racist. They don't really have the attention span or interest in that argument. Some of them bemoan "political correctness" over whether it is racist. But "weird" isn't a logical argument. It's just observation. It's quick and clean, and pretty self-evident. And then surrogates can move on to pardoning J6 cop-beaters. They can move on to pardons/immunity for the Deputy who murdered Sonya Massey.
  17. And her surrogates are going to say, "what a weirdo." And they will be right.
  18. Self-delete: OU Sucks bet me to the punchline.
  19. They thought they could reduce the black vote for Kamala by telling black people she wasn't black. They though this, because they are a bunch of white people living in their white people echo chamber. They just proved why having diversity on the team would be helpful.
  20. GenX also was the first to have political talk radio from early adulthood on. I remember listening to Rush Limbaugh when I was in college because my roommate thought it was awesome. It was different than any other mass media out there. There was no natural resistance, other than education and basic common sense. My roommate was all in. (Same roommate ended up calling the cops on me later, but that's a different story.)
  21. Walz summarized the sentiment saying something like "If this was a TV show, it would be cancelled. People are just tired of it."
  22. I just realized he made the motion like someone was throwing a bucket of water. Gaslighting fuck was implying that the victim was throwing water at the cop.
  23. "You're talking the one with the water?" Dude really does his homework.
  24. But he did actually confirm that he would pardon the people who injured cops on J6.
