BillDaCatt , in As Trump fumes, Republicans wince at ‘public nervous breakdown’

Trump has always rambled incoherently. That isn’t new. His base loves him because he represents selfishness and racism. That is who they are. They don’t seem to care that he is a coward and a nutjob. Rich people love him because he will do just about anything for anyone who will publicly shine his shoes.

He’s a nitwit and he always has been.

A rural cop actually doing something about racists? In my America?

Viking_Hippie ,

Reminded me of a classic meme:

Pro tip: never search the text of that meme with safe search off and without adding “meme” at the end like I accidentally did at first 😬😄

FlyingSquid , in As Trump fumes, Republicans wince at ‘public nervous breakdown’
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

This is a guy who pummeled a semi-conscious president in a debate and literally out of a race.

Yeah… no he didn’t. They just knew they couldn’t get enough Democrats energized to vote. And that was totally due to Biden and nothing to do with what Trump did.

Chee_Koala ,

That might be what really happened, but what does Trump think happened?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Obviously Trump thinks it’s all about Trump. But Matthew Bartlett isn’t Donald Trump.

dream_weasel ,

Have you ever seen both of them together at the same time? 🤔

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No, but his name isn’t John Barron, so it can’t be Trump.

(How fucking weird is it that he named his son after the fake name he used to give to the press to promote himself?)

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Ugh. I’d forgotten all about his alter egos. My brain just cannot remember all the stupid shit he’s done.

TexasDrunk ,

I want him to show up to his next rally with a different kind of bronzer and a brown wig claiming to be the new nominee, John Barron, Man of the People. Preferably with a completely insane back story about how he grew up poor in the south and joined a union at 13 at a steel mill.

Doom ,

I truly believe for anyone watching the debate that golf conversation was the end of both of their political careers.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I admit I didn’t watch it and I only scanned the coverage because I really didn’t think it was going to change people’s minds enough for Biden to drop out, although I clearly was wrong.

So what was the golf conversation?

5wim ,

Oh yeah well im bigly better at gulf than you

What? What? Fat chance, jack

etc.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds very stupid. I don’t regret not watching.

Doom ,

Honestly watch it. The whole debate is rough and then we hit this and I could feel the souls of Americans just huff. The whole debate Trump is saying nothing nonsense with no point. Biden is half awake and limping through it. Then this insane conversation takes place

youtu.be/5VyAfQBV2_c?feature=shared

At any moment any one of them could’ve bodied the other in this conversation and probably won the presidency if you had anyone more reasonable, intelligent, lucid there that would’ve been such a moment. Instead I’m sweating from cringe. With the state of everything, why the fuck are you arguing about golf?

Buddahriffic ,

Wow, I hadn’t watched any of it either but damn. Trump just being Trump by bragging about shit that only sounds impressive or meaningful to dumb people and then Biden, looking good until he opened his mouth, showed that maybe he should even resign right now because he’s not all there and barely has any energy.

At some point, if we live long enough, there’s a sudden and drastic decline where we go from just an older version of ourselves to elderly. Looks like Biden hit that point sometime during his current term.

I wonder if he’s the first president to do so. Reagan had Alzheimer’s, which can be worse mentally, but I don’t know if he had the physical decline also.

That said, elderly Biden would still have been a better option than Trump. Not great (I don’t think the Democrats will ever offer an option that threatens the status quo), but better than Trump.

they were arguing over Joe’s performances

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That’s almost as stupid as Trump and the others on stage arguing about penis size during one of the primary debates in 2016.

acchariya ,

The golf debate was the wtf are we even doing moment for me. It turned out to be a very powerful moment that allowed a new democratic candidate to rise above two old men blathering about their golf game.

Bytemeister ,

Kamala is gonna tee up and out-drive them both anyway.

Dkarma ,

This so much this …trump is a felon and a threat to America but sure Joe say you’ll golf with him …ffs

@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, uh… I don’t think they have $950 million.

miseducator ,

If it’s"largely symbolic," why not just really fucking go at 'em. Eleventy bajillion thousand dollars sounds fair to me.

Omegamanthethird ,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

It still represents how much they think they are owed. $5M per offense. So in the future it can be used for precedence.

Eleventy bajillion isn’t even in the realm of realistic.

Question to lawyers: if you impeach a federal judge - who runs the trial? And if found guilty - who sentences them?

greybeard ,

Congress. Impeachment isn’t a judgicial function.

FlyingSquid , in Adin Ross ‘gifts’ Trump a Rolex and Cybertruck wrapped in rally shooting photo during unhinged livestream
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

He better hope for his own financial sake now that he’s under a microscope that he pays the gift taxes on those.

I bet he won’t.

Also-

“Wow. That’s an Elon,” Trump said, referencing Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “That is beautiful. I think it’s incredible.”

He thinks the Cybertruck is called ‘The Elon,’ doesn’t he?

Numenor ,

The Elon’s design was inspired by Elon Musk’s bizarrely chunky yet jaggedly angular ribcage.

NocturnalMorning , in Virginia man charged with threatening to kill Vice President Kamala Harris

What is wrong with people? As soon as the candidate isn’t a white old man, people start threatening to kill them immediately.

Cephalotrocity ,

In a way it’s better than when they’re old white men where they actually do kill them (Lincoln, Kennedy’, …)

cmbabul ,

A lot could be said about Kennedy but old is not really one of them

andrewta , (edited )

Technically he is old and shriveled now.

Ghostalmedia ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

As the article said, he was also threatening Biden.

NocturnalMorning ,

Ahh, so it’s even worse than racism. He wants to kill people he sees as “other”

FlyingSquid , in Elon Musk’s X Is Leaving San Francisco
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Without paywall: archive.ph/xymp1

TL;DR: They’re moving the SF office to Austin.

But do read this part:

The latest update from Yaccarino suggests it’s the San Francisco office, specifically, that is the thorn in X’s side. And it’s an about-face for Musk, who tweeted a year ago that, despite incentives to move out of San Francisco, X would not move its HQ out of the city. “You only know who your real friends are when the chips are down,” he waxed poetically on X. “San Francisco, beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend.”
