President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

[franticscribe]

Holy ship, the Pipp stuff was real. But wait, there's more.

How much of a p*ssy do you have to be to be scared to play football on a military school team because your opponents come from rough neighborhoods?

Also, I really hope someone digs up a New York Military Academy schedule from 1962 or 1963 so we can see just how many teams from rough neighborhoods they were lining up against, cause my guess is that it wasn't very many.

My own relationship with football has soured over the years and I would not begrudge anyone who says they aren't playing (or letting their kids play) due to the head blows. But to say you didn't play because you were scared of the players on other teams being tougher than you or outworking you, I have no respect for that.

Also, WTF is up with his makeup and that hard line on the edge of his face!?! This is what happens when you demonize LGBTQ folks and your wife spends zero time with you - there's nobody there to do your makeup correctly.

From the same ashhole who constantly calls for violence against Americans he doesn't like.

I'll bet the audience at that event has collectively donated tens of millions of dollars to Republican candidates over their lives. Trump can probably afford to lose some of their support, but long term his party cannot.

The future of our country is a forking comedy routine to this twat.

Unserious.

Unfit.

Global embarrashment.

Did he forget to insult Chicago while he was there? Or for that matter ask why there's never an Economic Club of DuBois or Battle Mountain?

 

[goalmouth]

Unless and until he moves to Yaphank, there will never be a street anywhere named for Stephen Miller.

 

[UNCGrad]

Unfit and everything else. Also, applauded by the room.

I am trying so very hard not to violate copyright law by posting this entire Alexandra Petri column, but OMG. She ranks all the songs from Trump's wedding-DJ-of-the-damned set.

Imagine, by comparison, the audience's response if Taylor Swift stopped an Eras Tour concert early and decided to play her favorite political speeches instead while she remained onstage, occasionally mouthing along with the words ("The only thing we have to fear is fear itself") and the audience tried to decide whether this was a sign that their idol had finally cracked.

Trump spends much of this song taking business cards and shaking hands with people, leaving South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (who has been onstage this whole time) trapped in the corner of purgatory reserved for Second Person Who Has Been Dragged Onstage To Duet A Karaoke Number She Is Not Pashionate About.

He bops a bit. He does the Dance Arms again, and Noem takes this as encouragement to fully do the "Y.M.C.A." letters, prompting Trump to look at her as though she has just devised these moves herself; he does not copy them.

Fitting, really, after an extremely "Cats" evening — a series of songs not connected by anything resembling human logic, seemingly intended for people in the 1980s with access to controlled substances you lack, with the expectation that you just sit there and hum along.
