9 trillion in debt from 4 years in office--that doesn't include infrastructure, healthcare or anything really meaningful.  Where's the money?  

A wall that doesn't cover much and was built with the idea of pocketing the money, so it was built extra shoddy, is some of it, and Covid was huge, but he totally fucked that up.  

He was able to get 2-3 billion from the Saudis and another 10 million from Egypt into his pocket.  This is what we know.  So of course he's siphoning the GOP campaign contributions.  That's what he does.

Back in the 90s when I was a Republican, I fucking hated Bill Clinton because he was a liberal commie Democrat.

Now that I’m a Democrat, I don’t like Clinton because it turns out he was a reactionary Republican. 

Logically it makes sense that this is good news but does any know if historically it has been true?

CNN out there digging up 20-year-old news on Tim Walz's DWI arrest and yet nary a peep on the $10M bribe to Trump from Egypt.

CNN should be calling out Trump's batshittery, but instead they desperately want it to either be a close race, or more likely for Trump to win.  It'd rejuvenate their evening numbers.

Of course, Fox News would love for Trump to lose,  both for the eyeballs tuning in to watch Fox News hosts bitching about Kamala, but also the lawsuits costing them a pretty penny probably ate into some executive bonuses.  They can't be too blatant though, so Murdoch uses his newspapers in NY instead to be passive-aggressive.

Well Frank, there's a few possibilities here:

A). Trump ain't sane.  And/or

B). Trump doesn't have to actually campaign as he is depending on some kind of legal process to hand him the election via the House.

The real problem is that the skillset it takes to get elected has fuck all to do with the skillset it takes to a good job once elected. Sure a few people have both, but if you dont have the first, you never get to show the second. Increasingly the jobs in DC are just full time campaign positions requiring the occupants to fly around the country whoring themselves out for dollars. That idiocy seems to be gender neutral.

Curiously, as a R in the same time frame, I did not hate Clinton.  He turned out to be a pretty fine centrist R in a lot of respects, regrettably so in others, and he may have been the most policy-sophisticated POTUS of our collective lifetimes, certainly I think the most intelligent and a political savant.

The sexual predation does give me pause.  However, I was fairly convinced by Posner's criticism of the impeachment that it was mostly none of my business.

I never really understood the sexual predation angle.  

Adultery?  Sure.  Bad idea?  Absolutely.  

But it's not like he raped her.  She was a willing participant, and let's be honest...let the 49-year-old man who wouldn't be tempted by a BJ from a 21-year-old woman cast the first stone.

It’s pretty clear he was hated in high school for his classmates to keep sending shit like this to the press. 
 

And here I thought just hanging your names as many times as he did was a red flag…

JDV was that overweight kid growing up that had issues fitting in, due in no small part to being raised by gparents and a fucked up mother. The kinda kid you felt for when he got bullied, but would cause those feelings to evaporate bc he brought on so much of it by being a total shit talking asshole that didn’t know when to shut up.
 

even now with the couch thing I almost feel for the guy, everybody laughing at him. But then he goes out there and is a *weird shit that does weird shit during the day* (call back to an all time epic viral rant) and just enjoy watching him get wrecked.

That shit wasn't public in 1995.  He was accused of being a sexual predator back then.  

Dude was a known horndog, but I never believed the rape allegation by Juanita Broaddrick.

We also don't know whether Trump is a business partner or employee of Saudi Arabia, or merely accepting bribes. Pick one of the 3 because it has to be 1.

At the time I was centrist or considered myself such. "Fiscally conservative," rather libertarian and always pro-choice...Clinton's health care plan, which got shot down mainly due to opposition from the insurance companies and AARP, would have been glorious. Much better than ACA. Today I still consider myself fiscally conservative but take a much wider, longer-term view of the costs vs benefits of any plan or regulation.

I’m basically non-ideological on everything. The facts on the ground are what matter and you should always decide based on that.

This is one where I’d want to see whatever analysis they’ve done to say this is one of the situations where controls work out.  Austin doesn’t feel very monopolistic in grocery.  Small towns would more I’m sure, just like they’d seem that way for every type of business.  

Small towns have to worry about their grocery stores being pushed out by Dollar Trees/Dollar Generals/Family Dollar whatever.

Not helped that a lot of small town grocery stores don't do the best of jobs to begin with.  When we would visit Alpine in the summers, it was also required to check expiration dates on everything we were buying.

We've been saying this for weeks. 

It's the exact same shit he has been doing the entire Biden presidency, the same stuff that had hop up 5+ in WI/MI/PA. The difference now is a Democratic nominee equipped to fight back, an energized Democratic voter base, and a decent chunk of the previous "double haters" being true to their word and taking Democrats up on the alternative.

Trump is going to get his 46%, +2-3 on that in swing states, which generally lean slightly right of the nation. It's what he got in 2016 and 2020; he's running the same campaign and he'll get the same votes. The job for Democrats has always been to assemble the coalition to beat that.

The fundamental mistake is assuming Trump is sane.

I actually feel like this would be a really potent moment if Walz could get it into the VP debate.

"Son, I've been a teacher a long time. And I've seen a lot of kids who were bullies, and a lot of kids who were bullied. And son, you seem to me like  a poor kid who was unfairly treated when you were younger, and I'm worried that becuase of that, you're going to end up hurting millions of Americans with your policies. I don't know if it's seeking payback, or if you're just looking for acceptance you needed as a kid. But I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you, son."

Those two Gen Zers that are in charge of this are fucking gold.  Here's hoping they get a podcast or something after this.

They're having the time of their lives, too.

Fetterman definitely deserves credit for this new and improved line of attack by Dems.  That was a high profile Senate race against a well known celeb, and Fetterman’s social media team just destroyed Dr. Oz in a way that resonated with folks who have grown up with social media.  That was the first real abandonment of the Dems’ “when they go low, we go high” mantra.  Fetterman’s team said fuck that.  When they go low, we roast the fuck out of them.

Trump provides so much material that it would be a waste not to go this route.  Cruz also is ripe for a roasting, but alas.  Allred is Allsafe.
