I did not realize that ice cream should only be sold to groups.

Who's more sad; the guy getting Ice cream by himself, or the one going into a bar?

Dude, all this weird gatekeeping about grown men.

The other day I saw one saying it's weird to see adult men using umbrellas.

Why would it be weird for a grown man to go get ice cream?

Have you never been to an Oberweis, Dairy Queen or Cold Stone? Adults get ice cream all the time. I know, because I'm an adult, so I know what they look like. Maybe Clay is one of those sheltered idiots who doesn't know what people look like?

It's a local dairy company.

Thanks for the show Seth did a great job interviewing our President who was funny, candid and determined to finish what was started in his presidency. We only need to vote blue now for a second term onwards. Thanks Wonkette for the tag!

Wait a minute…

Biden is …. OLD?

Instead the NYT is absolutely certain that the "undecided" vote in Michigan (which was about the same percentage as 2020 and could just as much be people who wish Bernie Sanders (who is 82) were running) is a problem for Biden. That Trump beat Haley by only ten more points than he did in her own state might be more of a problem for Trump. Those voters may stay home in November (and I'd like them to).

Trump's now doing a weird shoulder lift when he's stuck on words or try to articulate. He's also using toes lifts at lecterns to stop that forward leaning stance that indicates advanced prefrontal dementia.

And, even through Schapp's wife's is Mercedes, the usual form is 'Mercy'.

He's got the weirdest body language/facial expressions I've witnessed in my 58 years. I have a VERY strong fight or flight response, so it's beyond me why people don't just hurl at the sight of him *steps off soapbox*

Well, that explains everything. Trump knows what a Mercedes is. Mercy, on the other hand...

I'm having a hard time . It's like our own government isn't being honest with us. While I know the GOP is lying like lunatics at us, I'd hoped Joe would be at least a little bit more forthcoming. Of coarse I will vote for him but I feel like I'm being played. 30,000 dead Palestinians is nothing to brush over and pretend don't matter. I'm having a hard time defending our government to my grown child. It's fucked up and heart breaking . I really don't know what to think.

Part of this is the administration has been negotiating like mad for MONTHS, and the first rule of diplomacy is to not talk about what your talking about out loud for fear of spooking one side or another. The other problem is that Netanyahu is an asshole, and Hamas WANTS chaos and mass deaths of innocents, so they're not in any hurry for any of it to stop. Meanwhile, Biden has been shifting our stance little by little, which is frustrating to those of us who can't see what's happening behind the scenes, which I am positive is a lot, even if it hasn't been that fruitful.

Because all of this is COMPLICATED in the most frustrating of ways.

Our govt doesn’t dictate what Israeli, or any other nation, govt/leadership can do.

I know . Applying pressure and the withdrawing of support are the only leverage we have. I don't know the answers, I just hate what is happening.

President Biden did several things on that program donny trump is fundamentally incapable of doing. He laughed at himself. He talked about something other than himself. He showed human emotion, competence, and warmth. He was likable, relatable, and not insane. I pray to God I am in half as good shape as he is in when I'm his age (20 years).

Update: I got a screech on social media the other day about this. It was all STAGEDED! The lubrel media! Words!

What's a Travis Clay or whatever the name was? Never heard of it.

Remember that common clay of the new west everyone's talking about? They're talking about Travis.

Ta, Evan. I don't watch TV, but that was great.

Also in the spirit of fairness: the fact that Biden’s wife actually talks to him probably does make it a little easier to remember her name I guess.

Expand full comment

I assume that Melania, like a great many in the western world, only talks to Donald through attorneys.

I also assume hers are better.

What is their problem with someone going and getting ice cream alone? I want ice cream, I get ice cream, I don't wait until I have an ice cream posse hanging about.

Expand full comment

RWNJs like to gatekeep masculinity. People genuinely like OHJB and hate their idol PAB, so they have to act like anything Biden does is weird and unmanly.

Also, they hate people enjoying themselves.

I was walking to the post office. I passed an ice cream shop. It was one of those weirdly warm winter days. I stopped in and got ice cream.

Expand full comment

I was leaving the Post Office and two (male, of course) Mormon evangelsists with their plastic nametags on asked me if I wanted to go to church with them. I asked them ''are you fucking kidding?", and one asked me why I said that, and told him ""because religion is the most destructive thing in the world. Go back to Utah". He said, ''I'm from California'' and I said ''then go back to fucking California, you asshols'. Iwas onle of the most enjoyable conversdations I've had in ages!

They are completely joyless and weird.

The WaPo asks "Should Biden Debate Trump". Absolutely NOT! The only thing that would happen in debates would be that Biden would spent all his time countering Trump's lies, and Trump would spend his time chewing the scenery. When asked, Biden should respond "I don't debate traitors and rapists." He should keep doing these appearances and town halls; IOW, normal folksy stuff.

Expand full comment

Absolutely NO. Dump will just interrupt and nonsense-vomit over OHJB. There is nothing to be gained from engaging in a useless shitshow

Expand full comment

What could we possibly learn from a Biden/Trump debate in 2024 that we don't already know?

Expand full comment

Yeah. Though it was fun and pretty badass that Biden told President Klan Robe to shut up, to his face.

Expand full comment

I like to think that was the moment OHJB won over anyone who'd been on the fence. At my house we all said FINALLY! at once.

Expand full comment

In defense of minimal politeness he did actually ask "Will you shut up man?!" so he didn't tell him, because he's not PAB's mom, dad, wife, boss or attorney.

Ask tRump who Golda Meir was.

She wasn't a 10, so he has no idea.

lolol I still like the suggestion someone floated of asking Trump about his opinion on an Adamantium trade deal with Wakanda.

Expand full comment

WARNING: Sappy AF.

This made me love President Joe so much. He's clearly slowed, but the parts that matter are still sharp and he just seems so warm hearted. I genuinely believe he cares what happens to people and thinks in grand terms of where America should go historically, not what his personal opinions are.

It's difficult to separate out the extra effort it takes at 81 to deal with the lifelong stammer and any other things that are slowing. From the results, I'd say the interior workings are just fine (and are better than Donald Trump's ever were or will be).

Remember, he wasn't even going to run until Charlottesville happened. The guy is literally sacrificing his golden years for the country, FFS

Expand full comment

He's not perfect but I believe he's sincere in wanting what's best for the country. He inspires optimism the way Barack does.

Expand full comment

Except with 40+ years in politics Biden can deliver better than Barack did.
