Something something blind squirrels like nuts.

Most people do not comprehend the amount of energy released by a hurricane as compared to a nuclear bomb.

You right-wingers and your omnipresent victimhood complex are way more snowflake-y than those on the left.

Anyway, since this is the Trump thread, I'm still waiting on your pick for the GOP nom. You continue to dismiss the mere possibility that Trump can win again. I asked you once "ok, who you got?" Don't remember an answer. Ron DeSantis, who you had, quite remarkably, never heard of, remains the only other person with any juice.

Which of the anodyne, milquetoast, basic GOP careerists with massively inferior name recognition do you like for the job? Are all the hooting, frenzied far-right swine (of which you are one, despite your objections) gonna get real worked up for Marco Rubio? Mitt Romney? Evan McMuffin?

****in' MTG would have a good chance to beat those centrist scrubs these days. Welcome to your party.

To be fair, you'd nuke the system before it becomes a hurricane.

Still, that would be a recipe for bigger hurricanes.

I do continue to dismiss the possibility of Trump winning again. Never say never, but it's, "Nuke the hurricane?" levels of absurd to suggest that Trump can make it through another primary if the GOP has anything to say about it.

Unfortunately, I can't provide you with any alternative suggestions. As you've pointed out by my not knowing who Ron DeSantis was, I've been pretty checked out for a long time.

Politics stopped being fun some time in the first year of Trump's presidency when people just completely lost their minds.

If Evan McMuffin is a real person, I will immediately purchase some of his merch. McGriddles are superior imo, but never bet against McMuffins in an otherwise fair fight.



Edit: I've been bamboozled by jbro again!

"I'm checked out!", he says, as he regularly posts about politics in the politics forum.

So, since you admit you're not following these things closely, how about, instead of going around making bold claims for which you have no evidence or reason, why don't you try shutting the **** up? Make fewer posts and read more, and then you'll learn something and can one day come back with some actual meaningful or helpful input...

"Edit: I've been bamboozled by jbro again!" I already told you exactly who I am. You started posting before you ever finished learning how to read. Wrong order, bro.

Deep breaths, friend. The stranger on the internet cannot hurt you. They're just words on a screen.

My reason for not believing Trump can win again is simple: the people who actually run the country for a living don't want to deal with the fallout. Who wins in a duel: the media or the GOP? I think the GOP wins because they control the actual process.

If jbro does come back to 2p2, let this post be my formal apology for disparaging his name.

He's coming back....... https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/10/tech/...ban/index.html

Case in point. Nobody wants a repeat of Trump's Twitter habit while sitting on the presidential throne. Well, nobody with any meaningful influence over the GOP presidential nomination process.

Many of you have a hate-boner for the guy and would probably love a repeat, but most people do not.

Make internet forums fun again. Down with Drumpf.

Not necessarily:

Not that I'd be even slightly surprised to see him go back on that pretty quick, but I hold out a little hope.

lol

I want it louder, more power!

We are discussing this in the other thread and the heart of my view that 'KNOWING' should not be a stipulation for a charge such that ignorance of such knowledge becomes an excuse that prevents a Prosecutor proceeding as is clearly said below....





"...As a primer from the Brennan Center for Justice explains, federal law “imposes penalties for KNOWINGLY removing classified material without authority and with the intent to keep it in an unauthorized location.”

“This charge is available only for KNOWING and intentional mishandling, such as occurred in the cases of former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger and former CIA Director John Deutch,” it says...."



Not KNOWING (aka ignorance) should not be a bar in cases like this as it clearly is.

LOL.

After Cawthorn lost yesterday, and now Oz likely going to a recount, I hold on to a sliver of hope that just a little sanity might prevail now and then.

"Iraq too" lol

It's funny, but not really when you think about it

"Dr. Oz should declare victory. It makes it much harder for them to cheat with the ballots they 'just happen to find.'"

Ignore for a moment the inaccurate accusation of election cheating, this is just wrong. A candidate declaring themselves the victor does nothing to the process of counting more ballots (legitimate or illegitimate). It's such a confusing thought process.

CNN and MSNBC behind closed doors are hoping for Trump to be back on twitter and run again.

I struggle with which outcome is best for the Dem's?

- the endorsed Trump candidate losing, might see less turnout by Trump derps at the MT or GE and thus be good for the Dems
- But it was not OZ and was the crazier chicks who the Trump Derps really liked, so it her not winning that might see Derp voters stay home
- on the other hand though, Moderates and Centre right voters who might have voted Dem to avoid the crazy lady or Oz, might now vote for the more moderate GOP candidate


So what is more valuable in these races? Keeping the crazies motivated and turning out with the craziest candidate? Or lose some crazies because a more moderate candidate wins but then being able to draw more centre votes?


In the last election Trump and co lost due to reliance on the crazy vote and driving away the centre but I am not so sure that is not the path to victory this time. They seem even more motivated on their side (to undue the wrong of the last 'stolen' election) and over all Dem support seems down despite the rise of crazy on the right. And it is hard for the Dem base to always just find the same level of countering emotion for turn out when it is only based on fighting against something (Lesser of two evils, and something they 'don't' want) as opposed to motivating your base to vote FOR something they 'do want' such as a real deliverable agenda.

I didn't realize Trump's new [totallynot]Twitter was a straight up copy/paste job. At least, that's what it looks like from the screenshot above.

Spend enough time ranting about China, and you're bound to pick up a few tricks along the way.
