pro starcraft loser posted:The DNC sticking with Biden for the election this year is still insane to me. This election is going to be closer than it has any right to be with idiot Trump on the ballot. When the midterms went how they did, there was no way anyone was going to back a challenge to Biden. If it was 2010 all over again, or if they lost the Senate, I think it would’ve been open season. FuturePastNow posted:If the American people as a whole had any problem voting for geriatrics, there sure isn't any evidence of it because our government is almost entirely run by the elderly It’s also this. We’re living with the largest population of geriatrics in human history, both by raw numbers and by percentages, and our elected politicians reflect that (exacerbated by the fact that they vote in higher percentages, too). And one thing you can’t tell geriatrics is that they’re “too old” for anything. For all we know Biden gets an inexplicable bump out of this as old people circle the wagons.

Is it just me or does that Putin/Tucker interview come across as straight up treasonous? Not that Tucker is all that important anymore or that we're at war with Russia in the most direct sense, but we're allied with Ukraine and Putin undoubtedly regards the U.S. as his enemy. It's like Jane Fonda but in reverse. Conservative "journalists" jerking off adversarial dictators maybe isn't that new but the Tucker interview is really weird to me. Not to get all  , and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Fox News never actually fully explained why they fired their biggest money maker, did they?

BigSexy posted:I remember back in 2016 when Trump got elected my wife was all upset and I told her im sure even if Trump has no political background, with his lifetime of business experience, he’ll know to surround himself with people who are experts in their field and he won’t ultimately do that much. Surely 1 person won’t have that much power with our checks and balances. I think many (myself included) thought that as well. Until we learned that Trump’s image versus reality was revealed to us all. I had never read his book nor did I know about his many bancruptcies (sp sorry idk english) until his presidency made everything soooo clear, never mind the brainworms :/

StrangersInTheNight posted:Most people's understanding of how memory works is...well they don't. That's why so many people think dementia/Alzheimer's is just really bad forgetfullness. To be honest, I've been extremely fortunate in that my family always had their minds (more-or-less) until death and I never had to deal with dementia or Alzheimer's up close. However, my wife's grandmother was suffering from pretty bad Alzheimer's, and once you see what it truly can do to someone, it scares the ever-living hell out of you. She went from forgetting my wife's name in the beginning to becoming enraged at any slight in the middle, to basically becoming a permanent kid who would eat tissue paper thinking it was a pastry. There was no fuckin' way that she could be trusted to make even the most basic decisions. tek79 posted:Is it just me or does that Putin/Tucker interview come across as straight up treasonous?

Not to get all It's pretty obvious that Tucker has a relationship of sorts with the Kremlin which isn't a wartime adversary of the US officially, and if you take the first amendment to include the right to freely associate there's really not much that can be done/said. That said, we're all free to believe he is a complete bastard and deserves to drown after falling into a well-used portable toilet outside a Taco Bell. Though I never trusted him in the first place, any politician who cites Tucker in any way that's not critical is basically admitting that they're in Putin's pocket as well, because holy gently caress Tucker really went to Russia to jerk Putin off.

Tucker is a lovely journalist, but this definitely counts as reporting. And Fox fired him because he personally cost Fox almost $1 billion already and the rest of the damages for his 2020 election poo poo is still landing on them. Also Murdock hated him personally, but it was the eight hundred million dollars.

The Carlson interview is also just a massive internal propaganda win ahead of the Russian elections (which are fixed anyway), Putin may as well have had an interview with Mr Bean or Homer Simpson for how much he was able to humiliate a Westoid moron.

Tucker is a lovely journalist, but this definitely counts as reporting. Yeah I guess "treason" was probably not the right word on my part. I'd be interested in a Putin interview by a more neutral and/or serious journalist willing to put some pressure on him. Tucker's thing just looks like a big commercial he arranged for his hero, who happens to be a lovely dictator who hates the U.S.

Doocy's "C'mon man" hand there at the end is perfection. TulliusCicero posted:This is from personal experience, but if you have personal trauma, like around a loved one's death for instance, memory can get real fuzzy real quick. This. I'm 45 (or at least I will be tomorrow), so not ancient like Biden. In 2021, my father and my husband's mother both died. I do not remember 2022 at all. I have pictures and Facebook memories that show I was out there living my life, but I cannot tell you one single thing that happened. I'm not going to begrudge anyone losing time around the death of a child. I was explaining to my son why the "well meaning elderly man" thing was so bad for Biden and had to resort to Dr. Who's "Don't you think she looks tired" with Harriet Jones. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GidbEhL0teE) I suspect we'll be having a number of conversations on politics, propaganda, and the perception of power.
