To give Bush his credit, he said that “won’t be fooled again” line because he realized he was about to say “shame on me,” and that would have been used against him for the rest of his presidency.

It actually showed real on the spot adaptability.

Thank you for transcribing that! My wife and I burst out laughing when he said that.

To be fair, when has a president ever had to deal with an unexpected change of events?

(/s to be safe)

I’m calling my shot: by the end of September, he drops the hard R in public.

We all know Trump won’t accept the results. He didn’t in 2020, and in 2016 he claimed it was still rigged against him even when he won.

It’s really weird when you think about it.

Nothing short of hard financial and/or legal ramifications will stifle this kind of election interference. If it’s not stopped now, it will take root and fester.

“It is hypocritical to claim to be concerned about the massive death toll of innocent civilians, and then turn around and welcome the person responsible for these war crimes to our Capitol,” Tlaib said.

Couldn’t have worded it better myself. Netanyahu slaughters 40,000 people, 2/3 of them women and children, and he gets to stand in front of some of the most powerful people in the world and celebrate?

If you’re looking for battery backup, I’ve been eyeing generac for a while. I can’t attest to their quality as I’ve yet to pull the trigger though.

They seem to work well with solar for offsetting usage at night.

This shit coming from the party that would freak out if you mentioned Baron in any way, positive, negative or even neutral, is fucking rich.

McConnell drowned

out by boos during RNC roll call

:(

Yeah, that still hurts.

To be fair, your surge binding helps a lot.

After Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, Haley expressed her horror at the attack and said she was “lifting up Donald Trump…in prayer.”

Well, that is the only way a single person could possibly lift him up.

Surely, just like their rhetoric to arm every teacher in schools, giving every person at the RNC a gun when they enter will make it the safest place in the world.

I might have put my generations wrong, her grandfather was born in Ireland, so I think you’re right in that she’s actually a second generation immigrant.

My wife is a 3rd generation Irish immigrant, meaning she can apply for dual citizenship and I can get Irish citizenship as a “needed specialist.”

It’s not the easiest escape plan, especially since it would mean abandoning her aging father, but at least we can get out of here if/when the Brown Shirts come for us.

This is exactly how he got elected in 2016. All he does is lie and attack and people believe him. If the moderators pushed him even slightly on his lies instead of allowing him to spew whatever bullshit he wanted for two minutes, the night would have gone much differently. Instead, Joe had to spend half of his time refuting clear lies instead of talking about his accomplishments.

Tarantulas are extremely fragile creatures. She probably killed that poor thing.

On the flip side, if it’s a new world tarantula, then they have highly irritating hairs that they’ll spray in the air. Those hairs would be more dangerous than a bite, as a spider has little to no interest in attacking an ape 50x its size.

Does anyone else feel like she’s ramping up her media attention for a 2028 presidential run?

It just seems odd since she went silent after 2016 and now it seems like she’s trying to get in the headlines again.

God I hope she doesn’t run.

Yes. Like many other suburban white folk, I had an all too naive view on racial issues. While I didn’t think all racist issues had been solved, I didn’t realize how bad things actually were.
