NotThePars Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I wonder if this “both sides bad” take is so that any election result will prove you right, or if you are just scared to admit you like Trump? Either way, it’s cowardly. Think it’s as simple as “both sides are incredibly bad” because they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it’s cowardly. My main concern in US politics is the President starting a war. From that perspective I'm just glad the VP isn't Susan Rice or Samantha Power or some other lunatic Neocon. Trump has actually tried to withdraw troops from multiple countries and while he has committed war crimes I'm confident on that front he has been preferable to HRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) My take on the Thighland controversy is that I've never been able to repeat anything an SE Asian person has said in their language to their satisfaction beyond one syllable names. So f**k knows. Edited August 12, 2020 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I wouldn't get too carried away with the idea of Biden jacking it in after one term. These folk don't spend their lives working towards the top job and surrender power willingly. If he's still alive, he'll be running...at the age of 81...four years on from widespread questions about dementia. ...if he wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d win if it was held tomorrow and fairly but there’s still plenty of shenanigans to come. I’m just still enjoying the framing of Harris, who dropped out of the primaries after repeatedly eating shit and facing a distant fourth place in her home state, as a political heavyweight. Her only notable moment was calling her own boss-to-be a racist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) ETA: A genuine quote from the orange lunatic. Quote So showerheads — you take a shower, the water doesn’t come out. You want to wash your hands, the water doesn’t come out. So what do you do? You just stand there longer or you take a shower longer? Because my hair — I don’t know about you, but it has to be perfect. Perfect. (Laughter and applause.) Dishwashers — you didn’t have any water, so you — the people that do the dishes — you press it, and it goes again, and you do it again and again. So you might as well give them the water because you’ll end up using less water. So we made it so dishwashers now have a lot more water. And in many places — in most places of the country, water is not a problem. They don’t know what to do with it. It’s called “rain.” They don’t have a problem.

Paco Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Coronavirus is the best thing that could possibly happen for Biden since the mental old fucker can’t actually be out and about. He just needs to say as little as possible and he’ll stroll it. Shouldn’t quite be Reagan v Mondale but it’ll be reasonably big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Obviously Trump is playing into white voters' prejudices but he's also trying to steer the national conversation back towards Kamala calling Biden a segregationist on stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he do that? Trump got done for refusing to rent his apartments to black people. The last thing he wants is to boost Biden in the racist constituency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to dampen enthusiasm for the Biden ticket amongst African Americans as well as driving his own turn out by racialising the entire election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love thinking back to when his supporters talked about how macho and alpha he was and then fast forwarding to him moaning about how showers don’t give his hair the sheen he normally expects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
