@jon-nyc said in The 2028 GOP primary thread: I think in hindsight he made a mistake going after Trump. He could have done all the attention seeking stuff he did while throwing credit at Trump and licking the boot and he’d be vice president right now. I say hindsight. The idea that people wanted Trumpism without Trump seemed reasonable at the time to me also. I think he tried to ride the middle on it too much. COVID was the biggest crack between Trump and that base. They despise Fauci. Trump gave him a commendation on his last day. They hate the vaccine. It was the Trump vaccine. They hate the lockdown, that was Trump. They hate all of the times that different narratives were stated by the health departments as being fake news only to be proven true. They hate the way the government tossed around checks and money and the inflation that resulted (Trump as well as Biden). They hate the abuse and sheer fraud of the Payroll Protection “loans”, that was Trump. DeSantis was the one guy that could really have laid this at Trump’s feet. Especially after the way they went to war over Florida reopening. If I was on DeSantis campaign staff, every frigging commercial would have started with the official Presidential Commendation. When Trump gave his denial and said he didn’t know who did that, I would have had DeSantis ask him if he “was a liar or incompetent, which is it?”. I would have started every debate by politely greeting Trump and asking about his good friend, Dr. Fauci. I would have had him read off the many already known of PPE grants given to companies that were actually posting record profits even without the government money during the pandemic. The message would have been “When we needed you, you failed us. Again, and again, and again.” Lame Donald…

Love it. And man... Minnesota is way more boring than Virginia. Guess we can blame the glacier.

They're all actually great athletes. Watching the white commies who happen to be seven feet tall dribble a basketball with their feet will establish that. But they think different about the game too. Culture does matter here.

See my other thread. Farmers know! Aint no point in the almanac now. They’re all reading this instead… [image: 1762961977426-img_2176.jpeg]

said in It's the End of the World as We Know It: I realize that. I need to hoard what i have left cuz after the missiles start flying, like Chaka Khan said, Aint Nobody, makes my gummies, makes me happy, makes me feel this way…. Gotta think like that dammed ant.

Ooohhh, he gained an obituary in Rolling Stone, and a modicum of support from drug addled hippies who promptly forgot about him in their opium fugues. Great. At the same time, he lost his farm, his friends, and ultimately his life. Do you honestly believe that if you could go back to that moment and show him the consequences, that he would still go forward?

@Mik said in Dudes posting their Ws: Pretty impressive, but in the final analysis the guy needs to get a job. He’s likely a Federal Employee or Contractor working remotely. I’d almost be willing to bet on it…

Lack of sustained coherence is a feature, not a bug, for his supporters. It lets supporters like @Jolly reinterpret whatever he said anyway which way they want.

@jon-nyc said in Maybe he means per month: Yes but she’s spent almost no time in DC this term so he probably frequents the Whole Foods in Georgetown. I can just imagine him marvelling at the concept of coin deposit shopping carts.

@bachophile said in Change at the beeb: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cd9kqz1yyxkt BBC director general and CEO of news resign. Trump(CF) is actually a fortnight too late to sue the BBC. The programme was shown only in the UK and over a year ago. Resignations done, they ought to apologise for the embarrassingly sloppy slander and move on.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The impact of AI on jobs: @Mik said in The impact of AI on jobs: Learn to code using AI... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/google-brain-founder-andrew-ng-says-everyone-should-still-learn-to-code-but-not-the-old-way/ar-AA1QbYnq The people giving out this kind advice always seem to assume that everybody can do this stuff, as well as having the technology access and motivation. I think pretty much any reasonably intelligent person can.

How does “kiss my moist cunt” translate into Dutch?

@jon-nyc said in IOC to ban blokes from women’s sports: You forgot ladyfeelz. I like to feelzladies…

The thread. https://x.com/christopherrufo/status/1988001690801582237?s=46

This reminds me of when our last decrepit president would talk confidently about how he was leading in all the polls when literally everyone else knew better. [image: 1762805639946-img_8691.jpeg]

Kind of makes sense, is this related to the boomer inheritance trickle down wealth we'll likely see more and more of over the next decade or two?
