Counterpoint: Do more of this, JD. Keep going down this route. It will not end well for you, and that's the outcome we want.

Mistaking something you stumbled across that's years old for something that was just posted is a tale as old as the internet... or at least as old as the internet having stuff that's years old. I remember a PSA comic about all the dumb mistakes people make on the internet, and that one was illustrated by someone finding an old news article about World War II and sharing it like it had just started.

Caught some of Trump's horrible press conference. Just about ever line coming out of his mouth was still a lie, but MAN did it sound like the wind had been knocked out of his sails. The tone of his voice almost sounded depressive, like the vile spark in his soul had been snuffed out.

Oof. Who's old and tired now, old man?

Really looking forward to him bringing this same lack of energy to the next two debates.

He's so old and tired right now. He can't see a way out of this and its killing him. Since he got shot, he's made mistake after gaff after hug up and he knows it. If this was a business, he'd be declaring bankruptcy and walking away. But he can't from this.

Ironbite-couldn't happen to a worst member of the cast of Home Alone 2.

What a ******* horrible answer. An easy softball that might’ve humanized him in some way and his immediate response is “bogus questions from the media” and then back to being angry and miserable.

He can't give a better answer because he's just like Trump. He has nothing but angry and miserable to run on. He has no humor that isn't cruelty, no warmth, no credible intelligence, he's nothing but bluster and bullshit.

From body cam footage apparently the assassination attempt got as far as it did just due to communications/security failure. Secret Service thought cops had the roof, cops thought Secret Service had it, comms sucked, etc. Nothing really new, just confirmation of what we all figured.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

The operative end goal for democrats is for the republicans to be massively divided or massively undecided. They need to split their own vote, or be so apathetic that they just ******* don't.

So far: it looks good. The cult is sundering.

FB friend:
Trump thinks he's so good at making up insulting nicknames for people, but all he ever does is just take someone's name and add one word to it. "Crooked Hillary", "Sleepy Joe", "Laughing Kamala" ... these are shitty nicknames.

In comparison, look at the nicknames Jimmy Kimmel has made up for Trump: Mar-a-Lardo, Darth Tax Evader, Commander in Thief, the Tangerine Twitter Machine, Nostra-Dumbass, Count Flatula, Dopey McGropey, The Shart of the Deal, Donnie D-Cups, Fattyshack, Trumpelstiltskin, Pumpkin McPornhumper ... these are examples of good derisive nicknames.
YouTube is full of videos of petty criminals where some Trump supporter will post a comment like "this is what happens when someone never heard the word 'no' growing up", as if Trump himself is not the PERFECT example of someone who never heard the word "no" growing up.

The Rogan defection is pretty huge. This turns RFK from a potential democrat liability squarely into a GOP vote suck. Fantastic news.

As far as the insults go, it's less about how clever they are because, let's be honest, Trump isn't clever. No, it's about their hero lashing out at people they want an excuse to hate anyway.

Is Rogan really such a big deal that his opinion could swing the election? I always got the impression that he was on the fringe even back when he was that guy with no strong opinions one way or the other about anything. A fringe moderate, if you will.

He's more or less a watered down Alex Jones with more muscle and a huge following of incels. His opinion does matter to those young disaffected men who follow him. Him splitting with Trump could knock a couple of percentage points off of Trumps side, maybe even enough to cost Trump the election.

Tim Heidecker did a hilarious parody of Rogan's podcast a while back. He even got Rogan's posture and cadence down.

Unfortunately, yes. Rogan really is that big of a deal in several circles. As stated, this could easily be what costs Trump the election. Had Rogan not been in his corner during the first go around Trump would not have nearly had the reach nor impact he did.

Rogan's podcast is straight up free advertising that reaches millions. He has a ton of influence in that 20s to 30s male audience who take his points and parrot them to anyone who would listen.
