  1. These are the same people who successfully spun mocking the disabled, separating babies from their parents, praising Putin, and a million other things that went down the memory hole. They'll spin this too, to 40% of the country. And they only care about that 40%.
  2. It's a cult. He could say ANYTHING and it wouldn't matter. His cult members only get news from cult leader approved sources. And if they somehow find out what he said, they'll find a way to excuse it. All these statements are doing is solidifying the cult, and alienating his cult from the rest of us.
  3. Gena Rowlands, 94. https://deadline.com/2024/08/gena-rowlands-dead-actress-the-notebook-obituary-1236040898/
  4. First time I've ever been tempted to buy campaign merch.
  5. This. Trump had the evangelicals with or without Pence. Pence, however, did give them cover to pretend their support of trump was godly.
  6. No way trump ever picks a female vp. His entire schtick is a bizzaro version oh hypermasculinity. Women are only sex objects to him. And the GQP wants to put those uppity sluts in their place. Which you need the power structure to consist entirely of white men. On the off chance he does somehow replace Vance it will absolutely be with a white purportedly straight “Christian” man.
  7. Is the only place the story that Biden won't endorse Harris an unsourced tweet from a Newsmax reporter?
  8. Good thing Biden is immune from prosecution.
  9. I'm old enough to remember this.
  10. I thought he was a billionaire. Why should the taxpayers give him a handout? Can't he afford to hire his own security detail?
  11. Why not both?
  12. By the time I voted in the primary, Biden was unopposed. To the extent there were even others running against him, and it sounds like there were, that was only in the earlier states. What I'm getting from this thread is that I'm supposed to be fine with what a few voters in a few states decided six months ago.
  13. You have one party that's completely unseriousness, running a bigoted felon who thinks windmills cause cancer. While they're whipping up their base over bathrooms and drag queen story hour. Meanwhile, the only party that is ostensibly serious about governing, is running someone who is rapidly losing the capability to govern. You win by drawing a contrast to the clown car. Frankly, at this point Biden isn't providing much to contrast with. The party itself certainly isn't if they think installling an 82-year-old who appears to be in the beginning stages of dementia is a way to govern.
  14. This. Dems win when they stop acting scared, of racists, trump, whatever. Right now the dems' argument is that they're not running a convicted felon who tried to overthrow the government. Which, okay is good enough for me, and is shocking that it's not good enough for large swaths of the country. But it would be nice if there was something a little more inspiring to actually vote for. And polls in this context are next to meaningless. No one can predict who's going to turn out to vote in swing states at this point. But if half the country is going all in on a felon and a traitor with dementia, the least the other half can do is something better than non-felon, non-traitor with dementia.
  15. I don't get the only Biden can win take. The country's been fucked since trump won the first time. Likely from well before then. But you win by being charismatic and bold. Hell, trump won by being a charismatic, raging asshole. And the dems win when someone with charisma, Obama or a younger Biden, run, not when they're playing it safe and uninteresting. And the take is that an 82-year-old who if he can make it though a short press conference is a huge relief is the safe choice boggles my mind. Never mind that the safe choice rarely wins anyway. We should be able to do better than demented evil clown vs. demented nice guy. And if we can't, we deserve what we get. Dems may well lose regardless, because huge swaths of this country are fucking morons. But at least go down fighting, and not being so scared of losing they're running someone who appears to be in the early stages of dementia.
  16. I was on a zoom with a coworker who lives close to the epicenter. He said "Hold on" like something was wrong in his house, and I was thinking what the fuck is going on there, and a second later my whole house (about 50 miles away) started shaking.
  17. Suggestions for a single day in Charleston? Never been before and going for work. I'll have a day on my own first, before getting tied up in meetings.
  18. Bad. I live a few miles from there, and am surprised LGA was even open. Just driving was shit with torrential rain, flooded roads, and strong wind.
