FIL literally told me two weeks ago that Biden can't do anything without a teleprompter.  I would send this to him, but he definitely doesn't twitter.

Somebody on Fox News definitely said Biden can’t do anything without a teleprompter.

That's the shitty part. We all watch Fox News, just some of us indirectly.

Fox puts out the right wing talking points and the cult repeats it. Even people who don't literally watch Fox News hear those talking points being hammered in unison within hours to days.

If you were to just play the audio and tell him it's an 'Astonishing Tale of the Sea' involving sharks with freakin' electric boat batteries attached to their heads (and alter the speed of playback), I bet he'd give a listen.

Yep. I actually do think he gets most of it second hand from his wife and their right wing nut job friends.

75 million voted for Trump.  Most of those would have voted for (R) no matter what - Romney and McCain got 60 million against Obama.

It’s the 15-30 million that went batshit that are the problem. With that said, his rallies are still small, they are having to pad them out, and the fact that he is a convicted felon and abortion is his running mate is going to hurt him.  I’m more worried about the idiots on the left who act unhappy with Biden.  Trump will not get more votes than he had in 2020, it’s Biden getting less that’s the problem.

Again I am reminded how blessed I have been. My FIL, may he Rest In Peace, (fuck spellcheck) kept his cognitive dissonance to the need for Ma Bell to connect the rurals. Agreed with him, of course, but couldn’t help him break through to the other side.

Trump Media hired Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP in early May, replacing its prior auditor, BF Borgers CPA. Three days before Trump Media announced that switch, the SEC charged BF Borgers with “massive fraud” that affected more than 1,500 filings.

And losses went up 10M after the reaudit.  Just a cool 20%.

Here's yet another thing to love about his insane rant against electric boats.  Nevermind the idiocy of "what if the boat sank because of the weight of the batteries"....FFS, weight and displacement are the baseline calculation in designing a boat....and....a gasoline engine and 100 gallons of fuel aren't exactly light.  No, let's go to who he is really attacking here.  "ELECTRIC BOATS SUCK!"  Where can you find a metric crapton of electric boats (and they're not something new, they've been around for decades)?

That's right, places like Newport Harbor, where a shitload of people with such boats are Trump voters.

He constantly shits on his own supporters....and they happily smear his excrement all over themselves and ask for more.  Poor, rich, they are all the dumbest most pathetic creatures.

 

Also boats that run on batteries:

Anytime a MAGA relative puts something out that seems a little too polished, I need only to do a quick search and find where they got it from.  The programming of the cult is real.

Wouldn't the shark, assuming it was closing in range from 10 yards, also get electrocuted by the battery sinking underwater?  Or does it have like X-SharkMan superpowers like "Elektrokenisis" where it can absorb and manipulate electricity. and not only remain uninjured but able to burst the electricity back at some other target?  And wouldn't that presuppose then, there are other shark mutants with powers?  Like, is another shark that can manipulate the metal of the boat/battery to make it sink in the first place?  Is there another shark, using its fins---can hurl cards through the water and slash through scuba divers suits?  

I think we could have a comic book out about this within a week.  Keep Eric engrossed in it until the end of the decade, and probably have movie rights within 18 months.  X-Men meets Jaws.  I'd watch that movie, especially the part where the President realizes his conundrum of doom like the other actual X-men movies.

So wanting a definitive answer on what exactly would happen to the battery (already full well knowing I wouldn't get electrocuted) I hit the google machine.  Got as far a "would you get el" when it automatically popped up with "would you get electrocuted if an electric boat sank". LOL  The man is a fucking idiot, but he does draw a lot of eyeballs.

BTW, I did click a few links and ended up on reddit (as you do when you ask a question on the internet).  The question there was "If you were on a sinking ship powered by electricity and you knew there was a shark 10 yards away from the ship, would you stay on the ship and risk electrocution or would you jump off the ship and risk swimming with the shark?".

I honestly can't tell if some of those people are really just way funnier than I am or if they really took that question seriously.  My favorite answer turned out to be "Am I the slowest swimmer on board? Am I currently bleeding?". The old "don't have to outrun the bear" conundrum. Just with sharks. Now we just need to add lasers.

Same with my dad.  He'll spew some stupid Fox nonsense and I just look at him and tell him to stop watching Fox News, that it is rotting his brain.  He stops giving me the talking points after that.

My FIL has no problem telling everyone he watches Fox News, and if you visit their house, you will be watching it also. However, when they are at my house, I just ask that he not use my profile when logged into the TV to watch Fox News. It messes up the stupid algorithm of recommended channels and moves that shit to the very front. Apparently he watches so much of it, that he can completely mess up my recommended channels in one day and it takes weeks for it to fall off. Very fucking annoying. Of course he plays the victim, I'm telling him what he can and can't watch, and then he eventually turns it into a joke. Shit really pisses me off.  However, I can't show him that, or he wins. Yes, he very much is an all-around asshole.  Not just about Fox fucking News.

This is none of my business, but why would you allow that channel to be on in your house? I've been in spots where I've had to sit down on a couch in front of a tv playing Fox, but I couldn't imagine that happening in my home.

What's more annoying to me than my in-laws watching FoxNews or my cousins doing the same when they have us over in Hays County.  Is they put it on, and set the volume at an insane level.  And don't really pay attention.  It's just like soothing white noise to them.  If you want to sit intently and watch just by yourself at a reasonable volume, that's one thing.  But to just blare it while we all socialize and cook and kids play so you can just be comforted by the voice of Jesse Watters.........that's fucking insane.  

Invariably, when people come over.......I do what I always do.....put on some background music.  My own playlist, quiet classical, even the kids' favorite artists.  And wife tells me it's too loud for her family.  And it's 10/50.  Her parents put on FoxNews at 45/50 and it's "Well, they like to keep up to date with current events."  Well, CURRENTLY...I'm fucking annoyed at this event.

There is no proper comparison here, but I couldn't imagine having a bunch of people over and blaring Rachel Maddow at full blast. 

This.  If you have guests over, it should be sports or music.  Not ever TV news.  Unless like, 9/11 suddenly happened and you had to change the channel.

That's my go to, avant garde pornography.  Always a conversation starter and a solid ice breaker.  In particular I like the move when the Latter Day Saints want to swing by, or window sales people.

I did that with Lifetime many years ago.  MIL would visit our house for a week or so and all she would watch was Lifetime movies.  Before she came one time I put a lock on that channel and played dumb.  Wife knew what I did and was pissed but I didn't care (she did not know the password to remove it and I sure wasn't going to give it to her).

Gay porn.  If they want to watch 10 minutes of Fox News, we are watching 10 minutes of gay porn.

Thankfully I don’t have Fox News, but yeah, when I’m at relatives’s houses and they have it on, it’s painful because of how stupid it is.

Not gay porn. Make them watch Hunter’s sex tape

Apparently the dotard had three firearms registered in his name and has turned over two of them. The third is supposed to be in Florida but has gone missing.  If only we had a precedent on felony gun charges in the recent news.

He probably left it in the bathroom behind that box full of military secrets.
