The Inevitable What About The Inevitable You-Know-Who Thread Thread

@Texifornia

My list is hardly comprehensive and really only covers a few of the more recent lowlights.

Any such list would whizz by like the fact-checking at the end of a Fox & Friends skit on SNL.

@chuck

Weren’t you and I laughing about the possibility of this recently?

I assumed that’s why he keeps talking about Hannibal Lecter when he’s ranting about immigration.

[Limey (Ray Ward)]

By “obscure” they mean “lie about”, but at least they’re finally commenting on the emperor’s sartorial shortcomings.

@Limey

A person with a modicum of influence on social media hints at a coming endorsement.

Cat’s out of the bag: Joe Rogan is endorsing RFK Jr.

I’m not joking.

This is going to devastate Trump as his base at this point comprises almost entirely the incel-wingnut alliance, which is almost entirely Rogan’s audience. Rogan and RFK Jr. are a match made in heaven, too.

Trump tried to claim today that his base was “75% of the country”, but I don’t think even he believed that whopper.

[Limey (Ray Ward)]

And then there’s this:

It couldn’t happen, could it?

ETA: it doesn’t even have to happen. If you’re a republican who’s playing (and paying for) defense in Texas, you’re losing.

[Lefty]

Seems to be true. What fun.

Saw a billboard for that douche-nozzle’s Netflix special in downtown Austin the other day.
I wanted to vomit.
Anytime I fly with someone and they say, “I was listening to joe rogan…” I want to call Crew Scheduling to be removed from the trip.

[Lefty]

I would think Austin is a target rich environment for RFK Jr.

[JohnS (John R. Schieffer)]

Man, I hope not.

[D.WARD (Scott)]

RFK will get more votes than people are giving him credit for right now. A lot of people don’t want to vote for the socialists and at the same time don’t care for Trump.

[chuck (Triple Super Secret Pope)]

Anyone who is considering voting for Trump is strongly encouraged to cast his vote for RFK, Jr. Why, RFK is an outstanding candidate with moderate views. Trump voters, don’t buckle under false binary choices, don’t let the coastal elites dictate what you do, give RFK a chance!

He’s the most libertarian candidate (excluding the actual libertarian candidate - I encourage potential Trump voters to cast a vote for each of the libertarians).

My favorite part of the bear cub carcass story was when he referred to his “inner redneck.”

[D.WARD (Scott)]

Anyone who is on the fence about supporting a corrupt socialist ticket should strongly consider RFK. RFK isn’t corrupt and didn’t sleep with anyone to improve his career. Kamala voters, don’t vote for turning our country into a communist country. Give RFK a chance if you don’t like Trump and don’t want to pay for illegal immigrants’ free stuff.

When I hear the attacks on Walz to me it essentially reads as a “what would Jesus do” checklist. They don’t seem like attacks, just grievances on other people receiving kindness that in the minds of some, is somehow undeserved. This includes everything from tampons to tax breaks.

The cognitive dissonance on treating the stranger with kindness yet bemoaning even the smallest thing that might benefit a marginalized population is something I will simply never understand.

I would love to hear someone give me one example of a teaching from modern religion that Trump embraces. The fact that he uses religion as a cudgel is paramount to my hatred of the man.

It’s so bizarre to me that in our society there is a sizable but minority contingent of the population that thinks giving school children free meals is an offensive moral hazard. Even more bizarre is the fact that such a contingent actually influences elections.

[Limey (Ray Ward)]

Kids are required to be at school and cannot leave for meals. Feeding them is the barest minimum requirement.

@Limey

Kids are required to be at school and cannot leave for meals. Feeding them is the barest minimum requirement.

It’s a complete no brainer. Kids need a place to live, food, healthcare, and education. There is no reason that our society cannot provide all of that for them. It’s the most basic part of the American Dream.

[D.WARD (Scott)]

Election 2024: Trump 49%, Harris 44%, RFK Jr. 3%

Trump still maintaining a sizable lead in the polls over the socialists.

[GWAT]

Both parties needed a better candidate. The Dems were smart enough to get one. I was a Republican once. No longer, now independent. Trump is no less mentally marginalized than what they were hanging on Biden. He doesn’t need a debate to show evidence of that. He just does a stand-up routine.

[D.WARD (Scott)]

@GWAT

No longer, now independent.

I am also a registered independent. Agree Trump isn’t the best candidate but he is better than the socialists.
