Not a chance. If Harris is the nominee, they are going to need an old white dude to calm the never-Trumpers.

you might be right ... besides, I'm having second thoughts ...

Corporate America media is ignorning all the rhinoceros shit coming out of Trump's camp.

My sister died last night. (We were notified this morning, anyway.)

She had lived in Texas almost 40 years, and over those years, she had slid over to the right wing side. She was mainly taken in by the "pro-life" con.

We had a couple of dustups over it over the past several years. We never got to the point of "I'll never speak to you again" or anything like that, but it put a real chill on every conversation, and our contact really dwindled down to only a couple times a year.

And it was mainly due to Fatfuck. Now I figured out long long ago that politics aren't good for interfamilal conversations, so I would scrupulously tiptoe around all that stuff. But sooner or later, she'd throw in some kind of MAGA zinger -- for example, she thought Tim
Pool and Stephen Crowder were pithy geniuses.
She'd throw in snark about Obama.

Upon which I'd just drop the subject.

I was particularly amazed or astonished that she and many of her friends had jumped on board the right wing bandwagon of vilifying and scapegoating public education, particularly so since she was a public schoolteacher for 30+ years. I just couldn't see shaking the pom poms for a bunch who make it absolutely clear they believe who you are and what you do are such worthless shit. If it was up to them, my sisters career would have been eradicated decades ago.

She also fell in with a bunch down there who were very concerned about dirty smelly Mexicans pouring over the border. Perhaps the fact they lived 15 minutes from the Rio Grande might have something to do with it.

Anyway when she left Michigan 40 years ago she was a nice kind person. Pretty much a modern liberal Catholic. The Prayer of St. Francis and all that. In the end, she became something else. And that's on Fatfuck.

And that's just MY story. We didn't get violent or vengeful or nasty, no slamming doors, none of that. Nobody told anybody to fuck off forever. But our family ties had been corroded. I can only think of all the millions of other people who have had it worse, whose families have been really destroyed -- Fox News parents written off by their children and vice versa.

That can never really be fixed.

And for what? That fucking pervert??

God, it will be such a beautiful day for the world when he drops dead. By Any Means Necessary.

I’m sorry for your loss. My condolences.

I’ve watched my family get into Facebook arguments that look like the fucking Royale Rumble over this asshead. And for what? A guy who doesn’t love you back?

Is this bad news for Biden?

If an offense averaged 220 yards per game in 2020, and averaged 390 yards per game in 2023, would that be better than averaging 410 yards in 2019?

Of course there's an incredible three-year growth. It came after COVID.

This part of the Twitter thread even underlines it.

x.com

On the jobs front, it’s rural areas leading the pack. From 2016-2019, rural left-behind areas created a net 10k jobs. In 2023 alone, they added 104k. In total, these rural areas have almost fully recovered to pre-COVID employment levels.

A snail as president could have claimed these job numbers. Trump could have sat on his toilet for three years and this would've happened - and he'd have taken credit for it, and the media would have fact-checked him for it.

Why are people surprised old jobs from five years ago came back?

This is what we have to look forward to if Trump wins again -- such blind, stupid, mind-altered wackos, still believing in the "rigged" election. They really are nuts.

A second Trump term will result in a melding of theocracy, plutocracy and kakistocracy.

The insufferable arrogance of SCOTUS. Applies to their abuse of history too.

Is it bad for Biden? I would submit that maybe the fact that the president of the United States hasn't been in any condition to effectively communicate this or visit these places over the last 12 months might be bad for Biden. It's not the job of news media to promote his accomplishments effectively. It's his job. He's no longer capable of doing it and needs to move aside for someone who can (or at this point can at the very least do it better than he can).

Is there THAT much difference between why the two parties political leadership is "supporting" their nominees? The weird thing is, while I do think Trump does HAVE the support of his base, the prime motivator for Biden's support is uncertainty that another option will be successful, mixed in with uncertainty of their future political career if he holds on and wins.
Though it does seem like Biden is in political quicksand, the harder he fights, the weaker he looks.
