As a fan of political disruption, take your $50M (or whatever) and run 5 House candidates and campaign around that.  That will break some of the political ossification.  I don't doubt any of the speakers are genuine and authentic... I think this campaign is a dumb waste of money.

Proportional representation.  

Eliminate gerrymandering.  

Eliminate the "there's only two parties", and all of it's evils.  

Make campaigning about actual platforms.

Yeah but he was right about the mobs of radical democrats overrunning the country and that we’d all be speaking Chinese.

I graduated high school in '76, the Bicentennial year.  

One of our morning announcements concluded with a "Bicentennial Minute":  

"Remember.  If it weren't for the American Revolution, we might all be speaking English today."

I don't deny that perhaps the COVID vax had negative side effects for some people.

It probably does.  Pretty much every medication has them.  

You know what else it does?  It reduces your odds of dying from Covid by like 93%.  (Well, it did.  I understand that the numbers for more modern variants are "similar", but I haven't seen exact, double blind, numbers.)  

Those helmets trying to look like Michigan's ugly ones, only without the excuse of tradition?  

What?  No music?  

You're slipping.  

Did his wife tell him how to rule on those Trump cases, too?  

And the next ones?

Former NFL running back and Gainesville High School standout Clinton Portis appears to have exhausted all legal options to stave off the auction of his northeast Gainesville home following a 2022 foreclosure ruling.

 

Alachua County property records list Portis and his mother, Rhonnel Hearn, as the owners of the more than 8,000-square-foot purple mansion at 3510 NE 156th Ave., off County Road 225 near Gainesville Raceway.

 

Pointing out that all the other stinky dirty investigations Devin Nunes has run, have been intentional smokescreens.

How any millionaire or billionaire doesn't have bespoke tailoring is beyond me. 

He probably has them.  But . . . 

1)  He's stiffed every tailor in NYC.  

2)  And he knows more than all of them.  

I mean, we're talking about somebody who can't hire a lawyer in DC.  

I guess the government does have the authority to pass mask mandates.

Right-wing bots: Yeah, but Trump set Biden up for huge numbers by leaving the country in a smoking crater.

Although people of any persuasion actually  ban themselves on ES and I doubt any of them would actually be functionally useful.🥺

Oh, so now you're moving the goalposts to "a group of angry functional killers".  

I thought we were drawing parallels to Trump.

The fact that I'm now trying to visualize "Dark Brandon tentacle porn" couldn't possibly say anything about me.  Could it?

I look forward to Trump trying to speak intelligently on any issue.

He has no intention of even trying.

Too little, too late. The former Republican party has become the Trumpublican party. Maybe they would have had a chance if they hadn't all RESIGNED from office.

They could have pulled a "he was never a Republican, anyway", when he admitted to personally asking the head of a foreign country to make a contribution to his campaign, in front of 40 witnesses. 

Or even earlier, when he fired the head of the FBI for not promising to cover up the fact that Trump's campaign were conspiring with KGB 2.0. 

Fire Trump, and in 3 years President Pence is running as an incumbent. 

Just wondering what effect this all is going to have on the national economy. 

Boeing has been one of America's main export products for what, 75 years?  

I remember reading that, I think it's the commerce department, tracks US imports and exports by breaking them down into categories. And some of the categories are a lot more detailed that others. But that the category that had more exports than any other was "4 engine jet aircraft"  

And I can easily see that whole thing just going away.

Oh, there'll be conditions.  

Guarantee you that neither the moderator, nor the other candidate, will be permitted to point out that the candidate just lied his ass off, for example.  Or ask follow-up questions.

Trump hasn't had to answer to any of his garbage -- Jan 6, Stealing national secrets in any debate.  Anyone saying "we don't need debates" is a moron.... we need a clear contrast for people still undecided.

Yeah.  We gotta fight for the "people who are undecided, but will watch the debate and decide then" demographic.

Admiring the phrase "for Israel's defense".  

Remembering a meme.  The scene is Obi Wan Kenobi giving his father's lightsaber to Luke Skywalker.

"kept fetuses in her home" is not a phrase that should ever have to see print. 

The problem isn't that it's in print.  

It's that it's in reality.

“While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique,” he said. “The bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder.”

Same here. And I make a lot myself. 

 

I'm not lying when I say when I was dating Buzzette that it was like buying into an amazing startup. I invested during the immediate post-college era. Made other infusions like her getting an MBA. Now I can retire and live off the dividends. 

Yeah.  But can she make a good sandwich?

2)  And, it's the next election.
