  1. This does not describe his base. This describes something else entirely, maybe the persuadable middle or something. I have been told repeatedly that everyone voted for Trump because of his racism and otherism. And I certainly don't disagree with that as pertains to the base. I concede that Vance has the potential to appeal to a more rational class of voters. But I don't think there are enough rational Trump supporters to get him elected.
  2. She sounds drunk, or mentally handicapped. Must be rough for her living in Clearwater, where 1 of 5 is Hispanic. And that whole Florida name must be a constant reminder.
  3. I mean maybe. We have often discussed that Trump is sui generis and I think that's very true. That 30-40% base he has maintained is almost solely attributable to his peculiar traits that no one else can duplicate.
  4. Excellent post. I meant to extend that out to a criticism of Cuban, but neglected to. I think you're absolutely correct.
  5. So, from what I can see of the VF article, there are some very subtle defenses of Trump and certain elements of Trumpco. That seems to normalize the administration. But I have no idea who is the audience for that? It's way too subtle for the base and they ain't reading, period, much less VF.
  6. Also just a side note. Kathy Hochul is very attractive at her age.
  7. It's amusing that one of the "exhibits" of that display was paid for by a government agency, created by the most socialist president we ever had and no doubt created on the government dole by a drunken layabout artist. At least he was white. Well, sorta. Alexander Dux was born in Austria-Hungary in 1898 and immigrated here with his family in 1910.
  8. She's a fucking cunt. She needs to take her Luka-less Mavericks and get the fuck out.
  9. Well, technically, it wasn't the assassinated prince, it was his petty, jealous, inbred haemophiliac relatives.
  10. Does it trouble you at all that drug smugglers, common criminals like Juan Orlando Hernandez or El Chapo, are being murdered on the high seas without the due process accorded to at least Hernandez? Or that the actual victims are just ordinary people trying to get by, maybe a bit compromised?
  11. The only thing that's even remotely close to that is I believe Chevron or Conoco (C company) had actual leases on Lake Maracaibo. Chavez nationalized that, but Chevron still operates there although I'm sure it's on lower margins. Nice to know that Chevron is us and we are Chevron (or Conoco).
  12. No one on here watches Rachel Maddow and if they do it's for lulz.
  13. Well, yeah, assuming the unpopularity of Trumpco holds, he'll be tainted among the rationals. He also has I think about zero appeal to the base. They. Have. To. Have. The. Base. How so?
  14. Why is this troubling? I get that Vance is a) a lot smarter than Trump and b) apparently in the thrall of YarvinThielco, which makes him very dangerous indeed. I also think he's unelectable.
  15. "Tough love" or loving from a distance is the approved way to deal with active addict family members. Anything else risks enablement of the addict, not to mention safety and property of the family. Still, it's incredibly hard to watch a close family member self-destruct. Many times, that leads in fairly short order to a rock bottom for the addict and the necessary realization that they need help and acceptance of it and recovery. Other times, it's going to lead to long term homelessness, jail, prison, and mental institutions. I had seen an article in connection with the film About Charlie where the Reiners had used this approach for many years, but Nick remained incorrigible and they gave up and began enabling him again. Fucking brutal. I've spent a lot of time talking to and listening to the stories of addicts and the worst things I have ever heard inevitably concern their addict children.
