Maybe?

Calm down. Nobody cares. At the moment you’re a forum joke and the only way out of that is to stop being ridiculous. Take your hits and start making sense. It’ll pass.

I think Beshear is the safest bet. He’s term limited and they won’t elect another Democrat, so losing his position is not a gamble, just an inevitability. However, to win his current position (twice) he had to have significant cross-party appeal. This is not true in North Carolina, as it is so evenly split that everything comes down to people without party loyalty. Beshear managed to get Republicans, in one of the reddest states in the union, to vote for him. Though I don’t expect he would get Republicans to abandon Trump, he may mollify moderates who think (falsely) that Harris is some sort of radical leftist. Additionally he may appeal to truly moderate voters and undecideds with no party loyalty, and at the very least he speaks to the same voters that Trump hopes to speak to by picking Vance.

This is nonsense. It presumes that there’s not a substantial overlap between those that would not vote for a woman and would not vote for a POC. I would say that those who are concerned about either are likely concerned about both.

And you just know that mango fellow is on a watchlist. He’s got serious Mark David Chapman vibes.

Probably exactly why. This site is very entertaining and certainly distracts me from doing my job from time to time.

It just occurred to me that it is almost certain that this site is monitored by the secret service.

One that got reused on poor Jack Kemp. Appropriately.

I’m aware. I’m also aware that you are the biggest dingbat on this site.

I just adore that you call him Joseph considering you nearly had a heart attack when someone called President Ford Jerry.

The worst kind of politician. Ran for mayor of Houston but didn’t get through the primary so she kept running for congress. Diagnosed and refused to resign because she’s going to beat it. That worked out.

Hmm.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_with_Interruptions

That is very interesting information. I sincerely hope not many of them have. As that will lead to an annoying and perennial conversation here as to whether or not they’re all dead and who was the last one.

I believe this brings the total down to 13. It’s truly incredible how many of them are still around.

Not a bad strategy.

My first time through I read it as you saying Trump was nodding to his critics. But this makes a lot more sense.

Honestly, ditto on everything @MortalCaso has said. I was also wrong about Biden’s decline (mind you, I’ll still vote for him) and gave you some hell for it. Apologies. I think given Vance you two have a misunderstanding. Correct me if I’m wrong but @Ulitzer95 you were not saying by picking him Trump is copping to being wrong, but that Vance’s previous lack of support is and change of heart is sexy to Trump. No zealot like a convert, etc.

Engle Duvall Westheimer Simmons Doherty A solid b-list run for the last few days. Alas, no one worthy of real excitement. Despite this run, a lousy year.

Sold.

Every time I see you or @Thatcher have posted I hold my breath. Luckily, I have no feelings about this particular individual.

It is beyond unreliable. Ineffective is a better word. I sincerely believe it is used in more innocent contexts in Britain, however, here, it is really only used as an insult meant to conjure the image of someone washing semen out of themselves in an effort not to get pregnant. Both stupid and a little viscerally disgusting. Perhaps akin to calling someone an enema - though that just doesn’t sound as mean.

I can’t say I think that’s offensive. We don’t really use that word here. Also, who isn’t a wanker really? In the proper sense. Here, a douchebag is certainly an offensive term. Not top tier offensive, but certainly worse than wanker. That being said, it is one of my favorite words and I use it often and with relish.

Come here and call some big gentleman that to his face. You will realize it is definitely offensive; if you survive.

It is more of an abbreviated term for a less commonly used insult: douchebag. Being referred to as a receptacle for semen rinsed out of anywhere is certainly insulting. Also, in this country, that word as a verb refers specifically to the action of this not particularly useful form of contraception.

I have read this several times and I honestly cannot suss out what you are trying to say. What I will say, that I think may address what you so poorly articulated in your statement, is that this is a crime, an assault, not merely against Trump but against the United States, its citizens, political stability, and the rule of law. This is the United States, we have elections here, if you don’t like the candidates you don’t get to remove them simply because you feel they are bad. If you can’t understand this, I pity you.
