This might be the dumbest thing a candidate in this race has said and that bar is pretty high considering Trump might think political asylum and insane asylums are the same thing.

Not a democrat, not really a republican either. Mostly just crazy.

• Supports Trump 2016
• Supports anyone but Trump 2020 - Briefly likes Bernie but then mainly has a parasocial relationship with Tulsi Gabbard (offers to write speeches, sends speeches to their email). Eventually gets on board with Biden Harris.
• Somehow likes Kim Jong Un, has another parasocial relationship inviting to Hawaii and asking to be an ambassador.
• Latches onto George Floyd protests supporting police reform.
• Latches onto Hong Kong supporting independence. Again reaching out to be a kind of diplomat in a parasocial relationship with Carrie Lam and including his phone number and email. He does that a lot.
• Latches onto supporting Ukraine. Has a parasocial relationship with Zelenskyy. Goes there and volunteers to help recruit eventually but people thought he was nuts over there. Kept offering to provide thousands of Afghan soldiers?
• Asks Elon Musk about selling him a rocket to attack Putin…
• Latches onto Taiwan supporting independence. Again offering thousands of Afghan soldiers.
• Writes a book telling Iran they should assassinate Trump.
• Believes China has a pneumonia bioweapon it’s using to silence democracy
• This election his dream ticket was Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley (and yet Ramaswamy is not pro Ukraine while Haley is so I’m not sure why he’d want Haley as the VP)

There shouldn’t be any paid resort trips for judges in the first place, even with disclosure.

Week long colloquiums at a resort in Montana paid for by some conservative group? Why do judges need a colloquium in the first place? They don’t need to go to a conference to tell them how to judge things based on political lines. There’s already a system of judges that’s supposed to interpret grey areas of the law as a group that’s the whole point of appellate courts and the multi-judge panels on them.

By international law they can use weapons supplied by other nations even for long range strikes into Russia yes, to my knowledge it’s just a gentleman’s agreement that they follow the terms of the nation supplying them. Not really a point of contention though as it would be idiotic to violate those terms at risk of not being supplied anymore.

The only point of contention is whether supplying nations should decide to allow strikes into Russia with their equipment because Russia continues to threaten that it would see that as an act of war from the supplying nation. So legally nothing wrong with it but you have to weigh that decision with possibility of starting World War III or a nuclear apocalypse.

And yet MAGA idiots still believe it’s true regardless of this retraction. There’s some random US citizen from Canton, Ohio named Allexis Ferrell who is in jail for eating a cat that they are using to justify these false claims even though she has absolutely no relation to Haitian immigrants in Springfield

On twitter yesterday I saw some MAGA people discussing that she was “right” but it’s bad optics for the more moderate republicans so she should be distanced until after the election. They accept her.

I wish some sports journalists I follow would move off twitter so I could drop it completely.

We will end the war in Ukraine by giving Russia everything they want…

Kamala Harris said in the debate, “I believe the reason Donald Trump says this war would be over in 24 hours is because he would just give it up.” Turns out she’s 100% correct.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the station, one of the teens reported hearing Metz say “Oh s—, my gun just went off” after the shooting.

The kids did trespass by hopping a fence, I’m guessing his defense is going to be he was just trying to hold them there for police but accidentally discharged his weapon into a kids face. The fuckwit is really lucky the kid lived.

I can’t understand the idiotic appeal of inserting yourself into these situations when the police are already on the way and there’s no danger to yourself to just waiting and letting them handle it.

Oh another thing on the list of things I think should just be free instead and covered by taxes.

They got caught taking bribes and then afterward made an official ruling that “gratuities” are okay and totally not bribes. These corrupt assholes have no shame and will never voluntarily recuse themselves.

Someone else, whose identity was not known when the case was presented to a grand jury, poured an accelerant on the cat and set it on fire, the indictment against Williams says. The animal running away on fire was also recorded on video.

Two psychos

I checked twitter. Generally they think Trump won. They also think the moderators were a Harris’ team and it was 3 vs 1. They think he owned her with the “I’m talking now” line. There’s also a conspiracy theory that Harris was wearing earrings with speakers in them.

But no debate was going to change the mind of people already in the maga cult anyway.

For ‘undecided’ voters I’ve seen this didn’t move the needle much but Harris was slightly ahead.

The biggest win is probably for already dem leaning voters being more excited to get out and vote rather than not voting - especially with Taylor Swift encouraging them to register and vote now.

We don’t have to guess, they tried. 50 is enough if you can get 50…on these issues the dems couldn’t get 50 even when they had the house. Guess which two senators opposed filibuster reform? Guess which two senators also very publicly stated they wouldn’t vote for packing the supreme court?

You’re really trying to strawman me and aren’t making good faith arguments here so I’m not going to waste too much time on a response… but take 51 and then subtract 2 from it (for Manchin and Sinema who won’t vote with dems on these issues) - is that 50? Besides that dems also don’t control the house.

This is literally AOC trying to impeach them, which isn’t going to be successful in a republican controlled house anyway. It’s more just for principle and show.

Court packing isn’t really an option right now for the same reason…if dems get firm control of the house and senate then it would be possible. For those who don’t know Manchin and Sinema are two “democratic” senators who won’t abolish filibuster or expand the supreme court so the current 51 - 49 democrat control of the senate isn’t real control either.

They literally ruled that “gratuities” (what most people would call bribes) are not a crime. Of course they’re taking all the “gratuities” they can get the corrupt mfers.

The problem with the age and capacity points is that Trump can still speak at an idiotic and simple level to his base and fire them up. What’s coming out of his mouth is conspiratory ramblings without substance but he’s not stuttering and doesn’t look feeble while doing it so his base eats it up. Any time he actually tries to talk substance on an issue it’s clear he’s an idiot but that was true in 2016 and 2020 too.

Yeah probably this. It feels okay to be more lax once your kid knows how to handle a gun because of the perceived lower chance that the kid accidentally discharges the gun they find.

But kids trained in gun safety also purposely shoot themselves and others, and also still make dumb decisions and accidentally shoot themselves and others. And a lot parents probably don’t want to think about those scenarios in my experience.

“They just hate me for political reasons, it’s a witch hunt! They’re corrupt!”…“Wait until I’m president again. There will be political witch hunts. I am corrupt.”

Seriously the proper move is to tone it down a bit and stop holding for applause so you don’t look like an idiot. She just kept doubling down and trying to go full rally on it. Probably difficult to tone it down with all the coke.
