I see we're still following the -------- horse race.

And yet a significant portion of residents will probably vote for them anyway.

MAGA genuinely loves the abuse, which is why they're so keen on everyone else being as miserable as they are.

It doesn't take long for most of these MAGA moron sheriffs to out themselves as unfit for the office.

Phage therapy isn't new.

I remember interviewing with professors doing that kind of research when I was interviewing for grad school in the early 2000s.

Ah, JPW finally gets a day off from the truck stop and immediately goes into conspiracy trolling.

Be best, son.

Says the guy chirping the inane truck stop stupidity.

I've said it from the beginning-I don't believe it, but if you're going to go down conspiracy theory lane, at least try to make the proposed conspiracy theory fit.

Trump's team is rife with shameless scumbags. It's a far higher likelihood that they're pulling these shenanigans than there being a large conspiracy at the upper echelons of our government across multiple agencies to kill Trump.

There was just some mentally-vacant rando waiting in distant bushes, who didn't know enough to keep his AK hidden until he needed it.

Despite supposedly serving in the Ukraine foreign legion ...

"We saw the barrel" was the same explanation given in the movie Shooter for how they supposedly noticed him ...

You are so blinded by your hatred that you think a shooting where a man was killed, 2 others seriously wounded and Trump grazed only, due to the extremely fortunate timing of his head turn was a staged shooting. You have zero evidence to support it but because you are mentally unwell you require yourself to believe it anyway.

You're such a sycophantic turd you actually believe this nonsense.

That people were injured or killed doesn't in anyway mean it wasn't staged.

There's zero evidence he was actually hit. There's zero marks on his ear in recent photos.

Every question, confidence and inconsistency is more easily attributed to Trump's people staging it than the government trying to kill him.

All of this is -------- to begin with, but if we're gonna talk about it at least think it through.

A man was killed in the first assassination attempt (not sure if today was an assassination attempt) and Zed calls it staged.

Seek help, Zed.

Your childish navet is kind of amusing.

So now the GOP itself and their favorite mouthpiece, Faux News, have openly admitted to lying to their base on purpose.

And still the base soldiers on like good little idiots.

This is quintessential MAGA.

Respond violently when it's not necessary, all in response to something that's complete bulls&^%.

As president, I will get rid of the unnecessary degree requirements for federal jobs to increase jobs for folks without a four-year degree," Harris on Friday in her speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Completely oblivious to the fact that she's coming across exactly as the worst stereotypes of Dems say Dems are...

Now remember, children----Donald Trump is the same man who said that he would run into an active shooter situation to save imperiled school children.

I'd forgotten about that tidbit of ridiculousness.

So dramatic.

Not really. She's probably the worst candidate for POTUS that I'll have to vote for in my life until this point.

Because I don't think she's a good candidate and she didn't earn it.

Unless you live in a swing state your vote won't count for much.

This is true. But I'll vote for her nonetheless because it's important for it to be known that even if Trump wins the EC he's not a popular POTUS and shouldn't govern as if he has a mandate to enact his minority policy preferences.

She is pretty incompetent.

And stop stating the obvious that she's not as bad as Trump. That isn't a reason to just gloss over her obvious flaws and deficiencies.

Gore and Kerry in the Bush elections. It was a tossup between Obama and McCain until he picked Palin and I took that as too clear a sign of poor judgement.

Enthusiastically voted for Obama for a second term.

Hillary was eminently qualified but I thought she had too much baggage and had been in the crosshairs for too long.

I wasn't super plussed about about Biden because I knew the very situation that played out would be very possible. I thought Kamala was a terrible pick then for the very reason we're seeing now and for the fact that she was a lackluster VP.

The irony is she isn't running on that, but, hey, you do you.

#63 | Posted by Gal_Tuesday

That doesn't even address the point...

Y'all went instadumb in order act like the polished turd is actually good.

Now, I hope she wins. I will vote for her. It will be the most dirty feeling vote I've ever cast, but I will vote for her.

But mark my words-it will be a terrible administration. She'll be lucky to be middle of the pack as far as POTUS ratings go and I think it's sad that she'll be in the history books as the first woman POTUS because, frankly, she didn't earn it and wouldn't have without extremely unusual circumstances.

And that will most definitely play out in the quality of her administration.

JPW seems to think critical thinking means thinking that is critical of someone/thing.

Yawn.

No, critical thinking is looking at a candidate and ignoring the hype.

She went from city DA to CA AG. Somehow she slid into being a CA Senator but didn't even do a single term and made no notable policy initiatives or wins.

Then she was selected as VP and now she's sliding into a POTUS nomination without any semblance of a process to elect her.

Both of those last "achievements" were without a single vote being cast FOR HER and both are subject to the 'anyone but Donald Trump' effect.

The Dems put a highly polished turd in front of you, told you you couldn't say no and y'all are just like "wooooowwwww...that's the best turd ever...amaaazzzzing!"

BTW the most qualified? Pfffftt piss off with that garbage.

It's also quite possible, had Biden announced early he wouldn't be running, she would've gained against the others due to her VP stint.

I'm not a fan of possibles and maybes.

On what record? Sitting in the office and holding the title aren't the same as actually having achievements and policy wins.

Look at the current profile page vs January 1, 2024 version. All that changed was she slid into the nomination and they've tried to make the administrations record her record, even though it wasn't like that mere months ago and all that was noteworthy to the professional spinners and writers was her ethnicity and vagina.

You continually implied that she isn't qualified to be where she is

That's your canned argument, dumbass.

You've been shadowboxing it this entire time because, as I've already said, you're on the forced enthusiasm bandwagon.

She was and is an awful candidate, which is why her candidacy went nowhere in 2020 and she was the first to drop out.

She was wholly unremarkable if not poor as VP. In her one and only incomplete term as a Senator she had six sponsored pieces of legislation make it was at least one chamber, four of which were resolutions and the other two were the same bill.

She's awful. Period. If you want to say unqualified, I won't argue. She's done nothing but mediocre her way upwards.

Everything else your little screeds say is situational and is exactly why I've said she wouldn't be anywhere near a nomination were it not for the wholly non conventional way she received (she didn't win it...) and were it not for the fact she's running against the most reprehensible GOP nominee in our lifetimes.

You don't have to like her because she's a dem, you know.

And you're ignorantly oblivious of ...

Lol yall are acting like MAGA morons right now, assuming disagreement is based on ignorance of extremely common knowledge.

And by back door I meant she didn't even go through the nomination process, a process she probably wouldn't have successfully navigated if she was running against other candidates.

But I think you knew that and ignored that critical point because acknowledging it takes the shine off the very thing you're pushing fake enthusiasm for.

A critical thought might be that the alternative to her is criminal traitor, so supporting her rather than ragging on her along with the Trumpers is the rational choice.

No ----.

Doesn't mean I have to go along with the painfully forced gushing about how awesome she is.

She's awful. She only has a shot because Trump is much worse.

We're settling for garbage to avoid settling for ----.

Kamala has been elected to offices 7 times without a loss. Only those ignorant of her political history would ever have believed the negative narratives the GOP forced into the zeitgeist ignoring the political acumen she undeniably has to have risen as she did.

Lol yet she's only close because she's back dooring a nomination.

God damn yall step in line without a critical thought.

She has the endorsement of both fmr VP Cheney and Rep Ocasio-Cortez.
In the context of the political spectrum, how much broader of a support range would a candidate want?

It's still because of a strong anti-Trump current.

Listen to what people say not what you want to think they're saying so you can feel like you're making a good choice.

I wish I was in a position to turn down a 25% raise...
