The AP just called Michigan for blue. Trump has to flip Nevada to win, now. I am bracing myself for a torrent of tweets and whining from the sloppy wet presidential boy. At least until Michigan mysteriously finds 30,000 additional votes with Tmpru’s name on them during a recount.

I know this isn’t something I just remembered, but this thread is way less awful than any of the general politics threads or election threads.

How the gently caress does Joe Biden get Michigan after palling around with Rick Snyder and the Obama drinking water bit.

This reality makes no sense.

Rick Snyder won two terms as Michigan governor. They like republicans, that’s why they like Joe.

taking the guy to a gun range was somehow supposed to be therapy for ptsd, because like always kyle was feigning expertise on something he knew nothing about. it sucks that the guy with ptsd got convicted for murder, though.

John McCain set an aircraft carrier on fire

Honestly that wasn't even the part of that day that makes him look bad:

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/john-mccain-make-believe-maverick-202004/ posted:

McCain took no part in dousing the flames himself. After going belowdecks and briefly helping sailors who were frantically trying to unload bombs from an elevator to the flight deck, McCain retreated to the safety of the “ready room,” where off-duty pilots spent their noncombat hours talking trash and playing poker. There, McCain watched the conflagration unfold on the room’s closed-circuit television — bearing distant witness to the valiant self-sacrifice of others who died trying to save the ship, pushing jets into the sea to keep their bombs from exploding on deck.

As the ship burned, McCain took a moment to mourn his misfortune; his combat career appeared to be going up in smoke. “This distressed me considerably,” he recalls in Faith of My Fathers. “I feared my ambitions were among the casualties in the calamity that had claimed the Forrestal.”

The fire blazed late into the night. The following morning, while oxygen-masked rescue workers toiled to recover bodies from the lower decks, McCain was making fast friends with R.W. “Johnny” Apple of The New York Times, who had arrived by helicopter to cover the deadliest Naval calamity since the Second World War. The son of admiralty surviving a near-death experience certainly made for good copy, and McCain colorfully recounted how he had saved his skin. But when Apple and other reporters left the ship, the story took an even stranger turn: McCain left with them. As the heroic crew of the Forrestal mourned its fallen brothers and the broken ship limped toward the Philippines for repairs, McCain zipped off to Saigon for what he recalls as “some welcome R&R.”

shame he was a piece of poo poo because that's basically the hero we all need. grab a government plane and gently caress off with it for an indeterminate amount of time? sweet.

we live in a post-facts society and the missile misfire came "from nearby" or whatever so at a minimum i choose to believe that he thought he was responsible and definitely exerted influence to exonerate himself at any rate

he at least should've felt guilty about it, poo poo
