Writers' strike already having implications with these lazy rehashes
If it helps, the inevitable Trump vs Biden in the general election is also 2020.
It's not inevitable when Biden suddenly crumbles into a dust cloud before the election and Hillary gets another try.
Actually you're right, this is our first 2016 without a Bernie run
Climbed far enough to glimpse Donny's stardom, but when the orange man weighed his soul and the judgement came back "Meatball DeSanctimonious", he felt the hand of Jeb Bush grab his leg as he was pulled screaming back into the inferno.
I don't want to sound like a bipartisan liberal or something, but the only two possible Republican candidates being explicit fascists is wild. The Jeb days are long gone
Looking back, it's hard to fathom that at one point the Republican frontrunner in 2016 was a fluent Spanish speaker with a Mexican wife
Trump's gonna get a January 6th bump.
Trump attorneys have been told to expect an indictment against former President Donald Trump.
The democratic establishment is able to rake in the most money and garner the most cultural clout when things are in a state of manufactured crisis. If Trump needs a boost to be enough of a threat to push that crisis dial up they'll do it. Sorta like tickling the dragons tail.
makes me wonder if the play is to offer him a plea deal where he is disqualified from office
It's a rock and a hard place. If you let Trump do whatever he wants with no consequences, he'll do more bad things because there are no consequences. If you try to prosecute him for bad things, he'll milk his base's persecution complex to empower him to do more bad things.
Democrats have no way out of this jam because they can't run an actually good candidate (even Bernie was intolerable to the party) and 50ish years of fetishizing bipartisanship means they've ceded the ability to really go hard.
in fairness to Trumps belief that he will never face consequences it does seem to be realistic
The easy solution is to just declare Trump a terrorist and hit him with a drone strike when he's in another country.
again, they know it helps him. they want him to be the nominee. he's their best chance, he's gonna suck shit in the general. everyone understands this except for terminal-2016-brained chuds and leftists.
terminal-2016-brained
ironic to be throwing this around while advocating for a replay of the pied piper strategy
Yeah, it really depends on how energized the whole election is. Biden is weird because he tends to do better with lower turnout. But I really think that the Supreme Court kinda fucked the dog for Trump here. We'll see where the whole thing is by next year, but right now they've really shot themselves in the foot giving up on the abortion football and trying to go in on trans people. It's really starting to lose people in the Midwest swing states.
Has there ever been a president that got 2 non consecutive terms? Because if Trump gets the nomination he's going to win again. This is both the funniest and the worst timeline
He's part of the back-to-back cartoon character president trio (Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland)
I don't think the republicans have any nominee that can win. I think they fucked themselves with abortion, and fucked themselves even harder with a trans legislation obsession everywhere driven by the fascists online.
Turning around the strategic mistakes that have been made seems like an insurmountable hill to climb. They need a radical change in narrative and direction.
In a rational world I would agree with you, but we've seen especially lately that the US is absolutely not a rational world.
I still wouldn't be complacent about it. But I feel sort of better about things at the moment than I did 6 months ago.
If Ramaswamy wins, that will be 9 countries in 5 continents with Indian heads of government.
🇮🇳 🇬🇾 🇸🇷 🇲🇺 🇬🇧 🇸🇨 🇵🇹 🇮🇪
States with Indian Presidents in a Parliamentary system:
🇸🇬 🇹🇹
an indian led commonwealth + USA would be quite a funny thing to see
cricket will become mandatory in north america
not the worst idea Americans clearly can't be trusted to pick national sports as baseball is just if someone made rounders less fun and American football causes concussions
basketball is a good one though
ironic that all the protective equipment makes it a far more dangerous sport than rugby
Six countries in 5 continents with Indian heads of government.
Wikipedia lists 10. They are in blue at the bottom of the page.
My worthless opinion is that the only way in which Trump loses the election, bar some type shit is that the Feds put him away, as they are so desperately trying to do.
Like a Trump presidency will be yet a further step closer to hell, but at least the liberals will suffer.
Being colour blind, I'm assuming the line that briefly broke 30 is the fascist of Florida.
Under communism, textures and patterns will always be used with colours in graphsYou're correct! As you look at the left side, top-to-bottom you have Trump, DeSantis, Pence and Nikki Haley. The only other mildly notable thing is Ramaswamy pulling slightly away from the irrelevant pack and actually eclipsing Pence over the last few weeks.
Suarez just needs to bite some people, it worked for the football player.
