Dubar posted:Keep in mind a lot of republicans are even dumber than you think they are and/or are true believers, so this may be the first time they are exposed to the fact that there is not in fact any evidence I remember when Hillary was getting grilled for hours on end about her servers and one of the few R's I knew (ex co-worker) of that actually tried to pay attention would apparently just holler at the TV about this or that conspiracy theory. In the end he thought the whole thing was a sham and the people responsible for grilling her clearly, CLEARLY, threw the case. Pointing out that the people grilling her were Republicans immediately made him mad and said they were RINO's. Later he would go on to pretend all that never happened and Hillary was still guilty because of [insert conspiracy theory here] which was vaguely brought up and never outlined or gone into in detail. To my knowledge even that kinda went away after a while. He'd moved onto a whole raft of other conspiracy theories and Q bullshit. I dunno how he is now but I wouldn't be surprised if he is a J6'er. Or wishes he was at least. Anyways point is that the true believers aren't going to be effected by this or change their tune 1 bit.

small butter posted:What is Trump talking about when he says that Biden wasn't going to visit the striking auto workers and only did so after Trump said he would? Do we have details about Biden's plans? Trump is a notorious serial liar who's facing countless lawsuits for various flavors of fraud, baseless defamation, and lying to the federal government. There's no particular reason to assume he didn't just make it up out of whole cloth.

Do we have details about Biden's plans? Trump did announce his speech publicly first (you seem to know the answers to the other questions - he was invited by the owner and not the workers. He's not speaking to union workers, etc.) Biden announced he was sending the Labor Secretary first, but didn't publicly announce he was going until about two days later.

How does this visit even tie into the UAW strike?

Drake Enterprises was not a union shop - it wasn't on strike. It also has like 150 workers but there were 500 people at the rally, and the bonus attendees - assuming even that the Drake workers showed up - appeared to be entirely local GOP enthusiasts. note the timing on this, this is Trump both avoiding and trying to pre-empt the GOP debate.

Provide the trappings of an event or rally and the media'll cover it just like a real one.

https://twitter.com/MariannaReports/status/1707550783305117850 I can't say anything in the past year has been a ringing endorsement of Emmer's whipping but I get it. Any time you can let a DUI enthusiast take the wheel for the party, you kind of have to. Also, Jayapal is the first Dem with any sway I've heard hint towards what McCarthy will have to give up to have Dems help avert a shutdown or survive a vote on his gavel quote:“If there was any kind of a deal to be made, it would need to be written into the rules of the House,” she said Thursday afternoon. “We would need to codify power-sharing because that’s the only way we can trust him.” quote:“We had this conversation today in CPC, and we had it a week ago with our CPC executive board,” Jayapal said, referring to the 102-member Congressional Progressive Caucus, which she chairs. “Nobody should rely on us to save McCarthy.” Jeffries and other Dems (Lieu) have publicly stated that as a body, the Dems have not contemplated what they'd demand from McCarthy and were unlikely to do so until the request is made

Kale posted:Yeah its quaint as poo poo watching Star Trek now and its largely optimistic outlook on humanities future at least where the Federation is concerned. We cant even decide if transgender people should be allowed to go the bathroom anymore, you think we are going to found this vast intergalactic Federation based on mutual respect, the greater good, tolerance and peace? Try hurling insults at one another over subspace 24/7 and being 5 times as paranoid as when they started requiring blood samples cause literal genocidal changelings were actually out there that could look like anyone. I see this argued a bit about Star Trek. People tend to forget that by the time Cochrane's test flight of the first warp core happened, Earth had already suffered under several major conflicts (the Eugenics Wars and a limited-scale nuclear Third World War being the main ones, for example) and humanity was probably on the process of killing itself before first contact with the Vulcans. And even then, it took around a good one hundred years or so to work everything out to the point where humanity could even suggest such a Federation forming. The hopeful message surrounding Star Trek becomes more clear when you remember that, speaking of a humanity that emerged wiser and stronger out of unnecessary and costly conflicts and wars that served to almost annihiliate themselves and their planet; especially then, considering the Vulcans also suffered the same path, and managed to avert themselves from disaster through a philosophy of peace and logic (a diaspora of their species resulting in the Romulans nonwithstanding).

Koos Group posted:Could you link to each of the incidents you're referring to? Sure. 1. killing the progressive parts of BBB at the command of the ghouls (if you don't recall since this was 2021, this was the CPC buckling and allowing BBB to be split into two bills, then passing the moderate one in exchange for a pinky-promise that the other would go through) 2. strikebreaking 3. crocodile tears while voting to mulch Palestinians 4. sad photo ops at the still-operational border camps 5. epic clapbacks on the twitters and at the fancy parties they get invited to now that they've been consumed by the establishment ('Tax the Rich' dress, etc. Searching twitter is a massive pain in the butt these days)

Youngkin’s tenure in VA so far has been mired in LGBT hate politics, book burning culture war nonsense, and robbing the state of revenue sources to please a portion of his base. I really wonder what his team thinks he would have to offer in a national campaign that would be competitive with Trump.

Probably just seeking name recognition, either for next time or for the wingnut media circuit. Almost all the losers running in the primary seem to understand they don’t have a chance unless trump dies. They’re doing it for the exposure.

Byzantine posted:Sure. For comparison, here's a list of accomplishments in green party history. I think the list is complete. 1. Splitting enough votes for Bush to win Florida in 2000 (this one is debatable but I included it to be as complete as possible) 2. Grifting 7 million dollars for useless recounts from Democrats who were upset that Trump won in 2020 edit: and violating campaign finance laws with it James Garfield fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Sep 29, 2023 |

Do we have details about Biden's plans? If Biden made an appearance at the world's largest ball of twine, I guarantee that Trump would visit a much smaller ball of twine and claim it was bigger than the one Biden visited, that Biden was actually copying him and he totally planned to visit this ball of twine a long time ago, well before Biden even knew about the twine, and in fact, Biden actually hates twine and is secretly plotting with China to ship all the twine overseas.

Remember Curt Schilling? He's still an rear end in a top hat Curt Schilling is having a Hall of Fame week at being human scum Revealing Tim Wakefield's cancer diagnosis against his wishes and sharing Nazi propaganda is a despicable, yet unsurprising combo for the former Boston star quote:The longtime Red Sox pitcher’s exacta of idiocy played out this week with his intentions descending further into foolishness at every turn. It was first brought to light that Schilling shared the cancer diagnosis of former teammate Tim Wakefield without the family’s permission. Schilling even admitted that he didn’t know if Wakefield wanted the news shared. Schilling’s revelations didn’t stop there, also saying that Wakefield’s wife, Stacy, has pancreatic cancer. Reminder that this long time free market conservative took millions of dollars to start a video game company that never produced a game

They just bought a different studio who already had a game in development, added the setting of 38 Studios' Amalur universe or whatever, and then released it. It did well, but that has basically nothing to do with Curt Schilling, as evidenced by his huge MMO plan going up in smoke as well as the entire economy of Rhode Island.

I always thought the way to get age limits passed would be to have a retirement age of 75, but it doesn't apply to any incumbents. Eventually they'll die or lose reelection, and you'd have all under 75s from that time onward.

The Kingdoms of Amalur MMO was actually basically finished, but when the company went under the state of Rhode Island became the owner as they tried to recoup their lost loan money. Someone could unironically run for Governor of Rhode Island on a campaign of releasing the Kingdoms of Amalur MMO and be able to follow through on that promise shortly after being elected. Rhode Islanders, tear yourself away from your horrible clam pizzas and pizzas with no cheese cut into strips and make this happen.
