Yeah, fucko. The world is much more complex than your pointed little head. There are complex situations that do not *have* a fucking "yes or no" answer to.
I find it extremely odd that no one has bothered to ask Trump what he thinks about Gaza.
I googled “Trump Gaza” and a bunch of articles about Biden losing the youth vote because of Gaza come up. Not a whole lot of ink on Trump promising to ban refugees from Gaza.
Anyone know what's happened with the sexual harassment/wage theft suit against Rudy? Remember, it was the one where the least revolting thing he was accused of was selling off pardons for $2 million a pop and splitting it with Trump.
Chris Jansing on MSNBC talking about Abbott's unconstitutional law. She poses question to MSNBC contributor: Obviously, Abbott wants to force a confrontation with the federal government, but does Joe Biden think he can win this one? I DON'T KNOW MS JANSING! WHAT DOES THE CONSTITUTION SAY ABOUT BORDER? IT'S A FUCKING MYSTERY.
There's a lot of weird human psychology around how constitutions and laws work, but I feel a key part in weakening them as a concept is public figures treating the violation of them as a "how does this play in Dumbfucksville" thing rather than a "you can't do that" thing.
Those of us who have watched DickSantis down here in Florida knew he could never survive on a national stage. He can only survive in his tightly controlled bubble.
Just out of curiosity wtf is he claiming Florida to be the No 1 state in the country at? My new best friend is heckling him too effectively for me to make it out.
FL is, indeed, the #1 state in self-owns, with their elder-forward population electing to Gov. & Sen. the guy who committed the largest Medicare fraud in history…more than once.
Leftist antisemitism on college campuses angers me and it must be stopped. But I’m not too concerned about Trump’s poisoning the blood of America comment. Here’s why I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Hell, Salon, years ago, offered to let me browse ad-free if I let them install a plug-in that (allegedly) only worked while I was there, to mine crypto.
I once caught a ukranian ad hijacker network when I was in advertising. The people selling the ads on a site don't always approve of the content the ad actually delivers.
Totes OT: Switch to C-SPAN3 American History broadcast from 6/5/23 on the Church Commission investigation of the CIA. It is absolutely lit. Living participants from back in the day spilling tea on their truly bipartisan work that even involved Frank Sinatra, reluctant (or inconveniently dispatched) witnesses, multiple Castro assassination attempts, etc. Those were the days & it’s all true!
Back when Idaho elected actual Democrats to the Senate. Frank Church & Cecil Andrus were actual fucking Senators, not the idiot RW assholes they Spuds have sent to the Senate since then.
Though I hate to say it, Risch & Crapo are actually two of the least odious GOP Senators; can't figure out how Idaho hasn't replaced at least one them with Ammon Bundy or some other delusional crackpot.
So the NYT apparently saying that the yoots are abandoning Biden because Gaza? Um, because the PAB is going to be a better friend of the Palestinians? Help me out with the reasoning here.
I strongly doubt if it's a matter of thinking Trump would be better. I think it's more "I cannot, will not sully my perfect purity score by voting for someone who has done something I disapprove of. If that decision gets Trump elected, that's Biden's fault for making it impossible for me to vote for him."
Speaking of which, that Harvard poll that basically said that most 18-24's think Jews are "oppressors" was some bullshit meant to stir up controversy. The poll question didn't allow for a "I don't know" or any kind of nuance or distinction between Jews, Israelis, or the Israeli government.
Yep. If I were asked, "Do you approve of Biden's position on the Gaza war, yes or no?" I would have to say, "no." If they ask, "Are you still planning to vote for him in 2024?" I would say, "You better fucking believe it."
Saw the headline. Did not read. I don't trust NYT's polls in the slightest. If the yoots think that the King of the Jews, Donald J Trump, would be better for Gaza then they should go for it. I'm moving to Canada.
OK, yoots. Would like a 2500 word essay on WWII, the establishment of the state of Israel, the
disenfranchisement of the Palestinians and all the conflicts that have ensued since 1948. Once you are able to define these issues, explain why a POTUS who came out of the gate banning Muslims from entering this country is a better choice than a foreign policy pro who favors a two-state solution. I was young & foolish once. That’s no way to go through life.
What, you want the yoots to read a book? Maybe 2 books? Maybe 10? When they already have all the buzzwords they need to articulate a buzzwordy position in 280 characters or less?
Tide pods. Kids are dumb, but olds aren't much better. Had someone telling me I missed AOC's point when I said she is flatly lying that her new wealth tax only affects "like 10 people" according to her. No, it affects 16,000 households. Just be honest, lady. Dude could not handle that
Of course, if it affects 16,000 households, that's fine. If you took away even 99% of the wealth for the 16,000 wealthiest households in the US, I have a feeling they would all still be more than OK.
Yeah and I kept stressing I'm fine eith the top 1% paying more. Even just the top .1%. The problem is the US is the third most populous country, so 1% of 333,000,000 is still 3,000,000
There is no reasoning. They found a few angry, young people to express a not very well thought position and are acting as if those people both speak for most youth and won't reconsider their position in the context of everything else when the time to vote is actually upon them.
I doubt any of them with a functioning brain do. It's more a statement of non-support of Biden's position rather than support of Trump. To take that and assume that they'd then go vote for Trump is I think overstating the message.
I've heard kids say "I'm not voting for Biden because he's letting Palestinians get killed."
I think it's more a matter of they'll just stay home, because Biden isn't doing what they want him to do on EVERY issue that's important to them. They don't get that it's basically a binary choice - evil or not evil. Staying home puts you on the evil side.
Gosh, Mark, you sound so much like clueless me from back in the day that I’m almost embarrassed about my old self. For starters, racism, hate, etc. are vile expressions of human nature, mercifully protected by our Constitution, as are our righteous positions. Folks can say what they wish, be it ever so loathsome. However, they are not protected in any way from the political , financial or societal consequences that may result.
And yes, those elected to public office often lose sight of the primary objective and fall prey to the temptations of elected office, voting at times for the ‘dark side’. When I see it, I’m on their ass like white on rice, as I stay engaged & nag their sorry asses. I do not, however, endanger the future of our nation by trying to pay back the insufficiently liberal pols by installing a psychopath in the WH. Grow up, or reap the whirlwind.
I love idiotic kids cherrypicking quotes from decades ago. By all means dumbfucks, let's repeat 2016, only this time Trump wants to win and is pissed. Fuck Palestine when democracy and my rights are on the line
OK, you want better. We all want better. But where are you going to get it? Realistically, in the time frame we're dealing with and the system we currently have? I'm not seeing a likely path to anything except having to choose between Biden or Trump. When those are the options, it should be obvious what you should do
And even if the First Amendment didn't exist, and we wanted to ban "racist speech", good fucking luck defining "racist" and "race".
Or forcing groups into racial categories. Legally sorting people into "brown" and "not brown" piles -- I bet that would just do WONDERS for eliminating racism.
The other side is flirting with fascism and wants to elect a man who is already openly threatening never to leave office. And no party that challenged the incumbent from their own party has won re-election to office in the last century.
Don't talk to me about "we deserve better" when the choice is the short-fingered vulgarian or Joe Biden and the stakes are LITERALLY American Democracy as we know it. Because if you think YOU won't be in that fucker's crosshairs, then I would question who let you out without adult supervision.
Not everyone who was an associate of Epstein's was involved with his sex crimes. Some of them are just run of the mill, Manhattan/Palm Beach, oligarch trash.
Oh, I don't think MOST of them were involved with the sex crimes, but if they were AWARE of them and continued to socialize with him, let them be held to account.
If I were a Press Secretary, I would politely and honestly answer every question to the best of my abilities, but I would also use every opportunity to blast journalists for doing such a shit-job at holding Trump and Republicans accountable. For example:
Peter Doocy: Why does the White House refuse to acknowledge Biden's age as a factor ahead of the election?
Press Sec AB: First of all, the president has a record that speaks for itself, with economic growth, record low unemployment, lower deficits and inflation under control. President Biden would not be running for reelection if his age impacted his ability to continue serving the American people. Every American, including journalists, should take into account the age and record of every person running for president, not just Joe Biden's.
Well done! If I was PS I'd show up witn my own questions about things relavant to America and ask those dimbulbs some fuckin' questions. Why not ask smarter questions, fuckwad!
I wish Democrats knew how to fucking message like that!
I saw CNN interviewing young people the other day, and some trans kid said "well, I'm not really excited about Biden, but I feel that the other side wants to kill me, so I guess I don't have a choice." Damn right, kid, the choice is "evil or not evil." PERIOD.
I hear those words in a tone that suggests that the kid is kicking sand in disappointment afterward.
Shouldn't you be, I dunno, anxious to vote for the guy who wants you to have a full life, able to do everything you want to do over the guy who'd happily see you dead?
You would think that would be the easy choice, but apparently it's not for young people. Honestly, I'm not sure why anyone in this country would think it's a good idea for someone who has already admitted he's going to be a dictator, but just for one day. Sure, that's how dictators work - it's just a one day thing.
Exactly! Our messaging is so fucking lame, while Republicans tell their morons "it's a battle of good versus evil, don't let the evil, Satan worshipping, Marxist, baby killers win." So their idiots show up for EVERY election, while our idiots sit home and pout that XXXX didn't happen.
So, Pete, refresh my memory - why did Fox "Fake" News just have to pay out almost a billion dollars to Dominion Voting Systems? Oh, right, because they kept pushing Trump's dumb lies about a stolen election.
The problem with Biden is he's thin and seemingly frail, while Trump is fat and demented. Biden also has that speech impediment, which dipshits assume is a sign of old age, while Trump just runs off at the mouth in a totally disjointed manner, but nobody actually notices that what he's saying is total drivel.
"Yes or No question."
Yeah, fucko. The world is much more complex than your pointed little head. There are complex situations that do not *have* a fucking "yes or no" answer to.
You're not cross-examining me, asshole.
LOL!!!!! The admiral wasn't having it.
"I don't answer loaded questions" is always a good response.
I find it extremely odd that no one has bothered to ask Trump what he thinks about Gaza.

There is no reasoning. They found a few angry, young people to express a not very well thought position and are acting as if those people both speak for most youth and won't reconsider their position in the context of everything else when the time to vote is actually upon them.
They just had a kid on CNN who said "I'm not sure why young people think Trump is going to be the better choice to protect Palestinians."
I genuinely can't figure out why ANYONE would think Trump would be better on ANY issue.
I doubt any of them with a functioning brain do. It's more a statement of non-support of Biden's position rather than support of Trump. To take that and assume that they'd then go vote for Trump is I think overstating the message.
I've heard kids say "I'm not voting for Biden because he's letting Palestinians get killed."
I think it's more a matter of they'll just stay home, because Biden isn't doing what they want him to do on EVERY issue that's important to them. They don't get that it's basically a binary choice - evil or not evil. Staying home puts you on the evil side.

And even if the First Amendment didn't exist, and we wanted to ban "racist speech", good fucking luck defining "racist" and "race".
Or forcing groups into racial categories. Legally sorting people into "brown" and "not brown" piles -- I bet that would just do WONDERS for eliminating racism.

I sure hope not - then they got victimized TWICE.
Yup.
If they got "Dershowitzed" (massages they didn't even want because they don't even LIKE massages anyway, SO THERE) let them get dragged.
They don't deserve to get tarred with that brush just because they're rich assholes that like to hang out with rich assholes.
