I would have been cool if she did it a week ago (I still maintain he wouldn't be willing to have her on), but I don't want to live in a world where both Presidential candidates appear on Joe Rogan as their last chance to reach a national audience on a "major outlet."

You might not want to, but you already do.

Media wanted a horserace. They will have their horserace come hell or high water. Honest folks who don't see politics as team sports have to endure this crap.

The polls in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania have been pretty rock solid for awhile now. Anything beyond that is just gravy.

My hope: Kamala 270 + Senate toss up with Dems winning Senate races they're leading OH, WI, MI, NV, AZ + Nebraska independent.

Nuke the filibuster, institute voting reform. Structural change.

Take money out of politics, pack the court, prosecute Elon (make him serve a max sentence, then deport him)

You just can’t see why they would ever consider the administration that has funded the Gaza assault as evil. 

No, I see them clear as day.  I absolutely see that.  So they see the Biden admin as evil.  And suspect they ALSO see the Trump admin as evil, they thus feel as if they have no good choice (and if your primary motivation is "I want to vote for a candidate who will do a 180 on 50 years of American policy, alienating a huge swath of voters in the process," then yeah....you don't have any good choices), so put in that "no-win" situation, they are NOT voting for the candidate who they think will follow the optimal (or at least the "least bad") path.  Instead, they are purposefully voting for pain.

I get that they don't like what the Biden admin -- and every admin for the past 50 years -- has done.  And I get that they may even rationally grasp that a Trump admin will not be good, either.  But to choose Trump over Kamala.....they are choosing the objectively worse option.  And the reason you do that is petulant rage.

Yup.

Option one: I really dislike this administration although they say that what is happening to the people of Gaza is horrible

Option two: I really dislike this guy and he has said that the government who is doing these things to the people of Gaza should be allowed to do more of it... untethered, unleashed.  He's also actively telling him to ignore option one people who want a cease fire.  Oh, he wants to ban my people.

Hmmmm... yeah, option two sounds good.

one of the most annoying things when Blacks talk about racism to non-Blacks is the non-Black person insisting something isn’t racist when the Black person is sitting there telling you “YES, SHEILA, IT IS RACIST” and they keep responding with “no it’s not”

 

I would go further. It's more than annoying.

It's frequently, including in this case, evidence that you can't accept another person's perspective even when that person's perspective is objectively more informed than yours.

Lara Trump is a hack and doing her job, but she's gaslighting people who know it when they see it so it's stupid to try.

Whoa whoa whoa....slow your roll.  What you MEAN is "we should get Brisketexan that phone list, posthaste."

Stop feeling sorry for MAGAs.  All of them.  Yes, even they old ones with diminished faculties -- they have enough faculties to know that they love and have a boner for a hateful candidate and movement.  They aren't getting rooked.  They are choosing to be shitty.  The "getting rooked" is just a happy byproduct.  Fleecing people who vote MAGA is a national service.  End up on the street, eating cat food?  The wages of sin, folks.

I'm done with sympathy and empathy.  Mercy and kindness?  Those only get us more losses, racking up L after L.  MAGAs should be fleeced blind until there is nothing left.  All of them.  And every last penny.  It's your patriotic duty.

Not exactly news, but it’s terrifying that this is where we are:

Journalist Bob Woodward said in an interview with podcaster Tim Miller on October 17 that Dan CoatsDonald Trump's former director of national intelligence, suspects Russian President Vladimir Putin is blackmailing the Republican nominee

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-intel-chief-dan-coats-suspected-putins-blackmail-bob-woodward-1971807

On Miller's The Bulwark Podcast, Woodward discussed how he spoke with Coats while writing his latest book, War, about Trump's relationship with Putin during his presidency and after.

Discussing the pair's relationship, which Coats reportedly called an "enigma," Woodward said, "Coats who, for two and a half years was Trump's director of national intelligence, all the intelligence agencies, including the CIA, sees this. They don't have all of the information, but he sees it."

He continued, "This is so strange, it is so subservient on Trump's part. He actually asks when I discussed this with Coats several months ago, he said 'is this blackmail?' In other words, is Trump being blackmailed?"

 

 

Why the fuck is Dan Coats not cutting ads?

So gonna be in the city on the 27th, possibly at the chalemet look alike party (not a fan but my friends in atx have some silly running joke about him) but definitely running errands and tequila shopping.

That said, need ideas for protest signs. Trump is a traitor? USA USA traitors gtfo? Never made protest signs but even if I don’t get a chance to make them after the vandy game, will go by msg to give him the double bird.

Missed this post as the thread moves quickly. Quality post by @Pancho This can happen in conversations with only white people as well. I’ve heard a friend claim that something isn’t offensive or racist because it was ok 25 years ago. One, it wasn’t ok then but sadly past society somewhat accepted it. Two, the person making a comment doesn’t get to decide if those hearing it are offended. But they hold firm that it’s not racist.

yes it’s possible that the offender was ignorant or had non-offensive intent but it doesn’t change how the listener felt about it.

Sick of this fucking-around namby-pamby bullshit.

Not sure that boat would deftly handle the Newtonian forces applied to it during a broadside.

Trump will famously do anything for money. He owes half a billion dollars to the state of New York. If that has been a part of this election, I haven't seen it.

From what I understand, a good number of Jews are upset with the BLM crowd.  The Jews feel that they were 100% supportive of BLM but now BLM is for Hamas.   

I remember when BLM was killing tens of thousands of civilians and children. That does seem rather ungrateful.
