This is an unknown person we are talking about here, if saying "he" instead of "they" offends you like it would misgendering a person whom you know the identity of, then maybe you just want to be offended. Don't get me wrong here, it's hosed up to intentionally misgender someone. But gently caress dude, at what point is it acceptable to not have to worry about hurting people feelings when your dealing with an unknown person.

Hate speech is a directed action. It's intentional, and it's meant to demean someone. Don't pretend this is the same thing.

Your post is dumb as dogshit because you just laid out exactly why "they" would be the more correct word to use in this case on every possible level.

It seems like you're just looking for something to complain about, interesting.

Can they realistically turn on him? Consider how much water they have carried for him at this point, and how many of them already changed their opinions from him as disaster to him as a blameless savior. (Eg, Senator Graham.)

They don't seem to want to but it is extremely stupid of them not to. Like the same way he was a huge joke up until he wasn't, if Graham/etc. are all just like "I had a crisis of conscious and...." or whatevers and turn on him even most of his base will no longer be on his side in a couple of months because what they want most is to win and be associated with a winner. They can put anyone they want at the top and as long as they put out a message of "this guy's basically a classy Trump" and his base will get the message that the GOP is still going to be the white supremacist party but with a more cordial face again.

The only thing that has proven consistent in trying to decipher trump's decisions is finding how it benefits him personally. That's all that matters to him; either he's being blackmailed, or was offered a business deal, or more dirt on biden, or was somehow convinced that this would be a net good and play to the anti-imperialist part of his base.

He will probably skip the debates next year saying he is too good/suppressing right wing speech/too busy being president to waste his time/fart whatever anyway.

I've been wondering about this myself, like I can't imagine even the most ardent of sycophants in his campaign would actually WANT him in a debate against the democratic nominee in his ever-worsening state. But like, are they really going to tell him "no you can't debate that person?" Like how do they present that in a way that doesn't make him barrel headfirst into wanting to debate them for ego reasons?

Plus as someone else said, his performance was terrible last time and you still had plenty of unironic takes of him looking strong, tough, he held is own, won, etc.

He'll do it because in his mind he's a winner.

Didn't it come out in 2016 that Trump campaign did not pay that patriotic little girls band who opened his rallies.

It did but it turned out to be cause the girls' father/manager was a massive dumbass and instead of having any kind of contract or even some verbal talk of payment their agreed upon compensation was a conversation that one of Trump's campaign people was going to maybe introduce them to someone who knew someone who would get them some kind of bigger appearance or career path in dancing or something.

When I think about police and integrity I definitely think of the Dallas police department because they have so much integrity that after JFK was assassinated the guy who supposedly did it was assassinated live on camera by someone who was able to just walk into the main entrance of the DPD HQ and do it followed by that person never being convicted due to a technicality in how he confessed to doing it shortly after.

Seriously, talk to any idiot racist, and you'll be able to imagine someone who would like him because you'll have met them.

I've had the displeasure of talking to plenty of racist idiots, racist co-workers, family members, former friends, whatever. And if there's something that's true across all of them, it's that they all, by "average" person standards hate each other and wouldn't even like Trump if they had to speak to him one on one about anything for more than a minute, but are all "friends" at the same time. Every single one of these folks sees themselves as a potential uber-person, just a little better and more important than everyone else around them including their closes friends/family/coworker/etc. that they supposedly like. Their relationships are based entirely around judgment and feeling superior to others. Like if you ever want a stereotypical instance of two people being buddy buddy with each other and then going off about what assholes they are all you need to do is see too idiot racists as their friendly conversation is ending.

I'm morbidly curious how Trump's cognitive decline plays out. It's only going to get worse and it seems to be accelerating.

What happens first?

A. "Don't slur bigly in public" filter goes out first, starts yelling :heritage: poo poo live on camera.
B. Language center completely melts down, starts saying literally indecipherable vowel soup.
C. Can walk and talk, but has sub-toddler awareness of what's going on around him or what common objects are.

I think it'll be darkly hilarious if he doesn't get us all killed first.

It’s going to speed up dramatically with the pressure of impeachment I imagine. I unfortunately watched my grandfather, dad, and uncle go through dementia and in my father’s case where he’d been a miserable prick for the past 40 years and alienated everyone who’d ever cared about him long before the dementia, the acute stress of having no support accelerated his decline about 5x fold.


I think it's going to be Option C first for sure. Losing track of stuff and just started wandering around and has to be corralled, all the times he gets up without actually signing or saying the thing he held he had the press there to watch him do, world leaders have to hold his hands while walking down stairs, etc. has already been happening.

Is fare evasion a huge thing in NYC? When I was out there it wasn’t like you could just hop the bars and jump on the train or whatever. It was the total opposite of how it is out here in San Francisco where everyone just jumps on the train without paying unless you have to get on at one of the stations under Market St.

It's not but the MTA drops insanely made up bullshit numbers about about how much money they lose over it to justify letting cops treat poor minorities like poo poo. Recently they also added all this signage by the emergency doors of a few stations about how IF YOU HOLD THIS DOOR OPEN THEN YOU RIDE WITH SATAN basically because oh no the dozen homeless people that sleep in the Herald Square station might meander onto or back from the platform before meandering back back the other way the world is crumbling.

Just fuckin' l-o-l at the idea that the NYT is as far left as Jacobin.

This chart is asinine.

quote:

Prior to his career in technology, AllSides co-founder and president John Gable was a professional Republican operative who worked for President George H. W. Bush, Senator Mitch McConnell, and the Republican National Committee. While he now lives in San Francisco, John is originally from Kentucky coal mining country, which has become a heartland of Trump supporters. He remains a proud, active Republican today.

Joan Blades, co-founder of our non-profit schools program and our partner Living Room Conversations, co-founded the progressive groups Moms Rising and MoveOn.org, which has raised millions of dollars for left-wing candidates. She is from Berkeley — one of the most progressive areas in the country. She still lives there and remains a proud, active Democrat today.

Scott McDonald, co-founder of AllSides and technology lead, is more centrist and less active politically. As an early online community entrepreneur, he remains dedicated to transparency, and that feeds his passion for revealing media bias across the political spectrum. However, he did intern for Republican Slade Gorton in the 1990s.

AllSides is proud to be a mix of people from all over the political bias spectrum. Take a look at the TED Talk that John and Joan did together on bursting filter bubbles to see just how we work together across our differences for the common good.
