"Ronald Reagan (21 percent)"

Republicans don't even love Reagan any more!
And then they say, the Democrats have gone Far Left.

"I Just Hate Killing."

Susan Collins has actually killed people, by enacting Republican policies.
Not said she wants to. Gone ahead and done it.
That doesn't disqualify her?

#208 That's just dumb.
Individual endorsements are not the same as the party's endorsement.

I Just Hate Killing.

See?
Feelings.

Otzi, the 5,000 year old Iceman, had 61 tattoos across his body.

"Hurt Feelings?"

I won't judge a man by his words when he can be judged by his actions.

So yes.
His words hurt your feelings.

"I'm on the fence about Abortion anyway."

That makes no sense.
You can't get pregnant.
You don't have a fence to sit on, about abortion.
Which is why you don't care about it. That part makes sense.

It went from only a few people had tattoos to only a few people didn't have tattoos. Though some people never will for cultural/religious reasons.

Someone my age who I'd never expect to get a tattoo now has them now. Another guy I know uses to wear long sleeve shirts to cover his full sleeve, now he doesn't.

People really revel in themselves. It's a generational shift.

I think a lot of it comes from athletes and rappers. You know, hero worship. Glorification through emulation.

I wouldn't vote for this guy now. No matter what.

Abortion rights don't matter more to you than your own hurt feelings?

Nobody saw this coming.

#% Broadcasting possible attacks before they occur allows the... stock market manipulation to happen.

I know a bunch of those guys. They're all nuts. It's one either or the other.
Start the polymarket timer now for when he sells out. Watch his stock trades, follow him like the eyepatch guy.

The roided out white guys who can't stand "Identity Politics" from beneath the brim of their Black Rifle Coffee Company snapbacks, completely unaware of the irony of the Punisher decals -- because they've never read the books -- adorning their Mall Crawlers.

Domestic Violence priors are no less a black mark on a man's character than traffic tickets, in these communities.

He did 3 Iraq and 1 Aghan tour, then went back as a State Dept contractor.

Alpha Male EdgeLord confirmed.

This election is so much more fun than Talarico vs Paxton.

Yeah that's been pretty disappointing. Nobody's going nuclear anything.

His other posts said F the cops, paraphrasing here, but an armed working class is required for justice, I'm a communist, etc. Armed Leftist with an unfortunate tattoo might be an appropriate label.

That sounds like the standard issue toxic masculinity edgelord stuff. Puffed up ------- who just came out of the military says what? Alpha Male --------.

I'd say the stuff we're hearing from women is probably the worst for him. That being said, it doesn't sound like he's got 25 documented sexual misconduct allegations waiting to be unearthed. So you get to choose if you want a the party that rapes women or girls. Women who drank too much and made themselves targets of opportunity, vs girls who were groomed by a well funded global crime ring.

I bet most voters can see a moral line separating those two things.

"Why don't black people tip? I work as a bartender and it always amazes me how solid this stereotype is."

That's not problematic. Anyone in the service industry is aware of this stereotype.

"Speaking rape, "take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f"-ked up they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to?"

That's good advice. That's what every father tells his daughter. Obviously I can see how someone would say it blames the victim. Meanwhile, every father has told his daughter she will be the victim if she does that. Which is also blaming the victim. And it's also considered good advice. This is right down the middle.

"Whole lot of F off and Dies."
"He was a sad, lonely, incel ----------."

Not great but probably not insurmountable. This is why we have the phrase "It gets better."

If insurmountable, the only politicians we will ever have in the future will be the ones with handlers curating their internet content from before they turn 18.

Now, I don't know if this guys is any good or just another piece of ----. I think we'll know by November and what's the rush, does anyone here even live in Maine?

But I suspect one reason certain people can't imagine he's any good is personal. Some people haven't grown from a crappy version of themselves as a young man to a better person in middle age. Again, I'm being optimistic that's what this guy is. For all I know, he could see the Libs as an easy mark, which they probably are.

Yes they did - they also tore down their own home, with their own hands.

The ---- that mean?

Deciding who this guy is, because of some tattoos, ignoring everything else, while also not being an expert on tattoos?

That's how Kilmar got sent to El Salvador prison for a crime he didn't commit.

I am surprised that's how you want to play this one, Dbt2.

"And you clowns are pissing your pants because Trump saw some specialists."

Trump seeing 22 specialists doesn't give rise to new fears.
It simply confirms what we've known all along:
The man is taking an IV medication for Dementia.

"Would you have suspicions about a 40-year-old nominally Democratic politician who willfully attended a Klan meeting with his pals in his youth?"

No, because history tells us Democrats were the Segregationist party at that time.
You didn't know that?

Tattoos in general are extremely widespread compared to when I was a kid. Moreso for the DR contingent getting Jell-O on their meal tray.

A common complaint from people who remember when tattoos "meant something" is that tattoos have been democratized to the point they don't convey a clear meaning like before.

Tattoos don't always mean what they used to. Go into your local trashy bar and you'll probably find woman with sea sparrows, even though she's never been to sea. She just like the design, saw it on other people, and the tattoo artist isn't here to be a gatekeeper.

This guy's tattoo probably doesn't mean much more than "Me and the boys got inked up with some fierce looking tattoos, as soldiers do when completing our male bonding rituals."
