US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

I'm taking the word of people I personally know who were there that morning, not someone shilling their book.

"I only accept the evidence that I like." Okay, buddy.

 

[GettrGriftr]

I checked Philly.com this morning, they have not put the bugle call out yet. If they don't, then there's enough propals in the Inquirer opinions staff to squash it.

They should know by late today or tomorrow that Democrats have a gap to close.

Does this mean something to people without a super-secret decoder ring?

That was George HW Bush in 1992 with Perot buck breaking him.
[...]
Dole was btfo by Clinton in 1996 in a traditional Coke or Pepsi matchup.

Perot ran again as the Reform Party candidate in 1996, but he didn't quite have the same effect as he did in '92 (only 8 million votes as compared to the 19.7 million in '92). But Perot did manage to deny Bill Clinton a majority of the national popular vote in both elections.

Some weird Pro-Harris super PAC "Future Forward USA" that was in the news recently after Bill Gates made a $50,000,000 contribution has spent around $8 million to air this one ad:

I saw a snappier version of this ad on Youtube, with a proper voice actor and bright colors, but same exact text. Can't find it in a search now. This is some properly Orwellian shit.

Allison Cooper calls MSNBC fake news

Oh he definitely saw some of those paid /r/politics comments, or at least the Twitter haterade.

Hell hath no sass like a gay man in a catfight. I guess he didn't like being called a Russian asset and accused of "sanewashing" Trump for just asking Kamala to stay on subject.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Fuck yourself with a rusty pipe, asshole. Your only proof is "someone in a book said so".

And your only proof is "I'm some random dude on an Internet gossip board." At least I had enough professional courtesy to cite and archive an external source.

Another fun fact: Jesse Ventura was elected governor running under the Reform Party, they're the only third party to win an office that big. It seemed like it might have led to something, but nope. Third parties always find a way to fuck things up, unfortunately.

Theo Von asking JD if Trump flirted with his wife. Bro.
Theo is the fucking best. lmao

Not going to re-post the interview, but it's at the very end.

 

[BullfrogBill]

FDR used it, warning America that if the Republicans won the Senate, fascism will have been defeated in Europe only to have descended on America. He implicitly compared Coolidge to Hitler.

Calvin Coolidge gets more and more based everyday.

Bullshit, you have no idea how tall those towers were. The jumpers came from the the upper levels from which there was no escape from the smoke and fires, they literally disintegrated when they hit the ground. There are images where you see it, not to mention witness that watched it happen.

You are aware that the twin towers had more than just one floor, and it was entirely possible that people jumped from lower floors and survived.

Moreover, there isn’t a specific height that actually demarcates when you die and when you don’t. Famously, World War II pilot Alan Magee jumped from his plane without a parachute, fell 20,000 feet, and survived. The question isn’t “how high did I fall from?” But rather “how much force did the sudden stop exert on my body?” This can be influenced by numerous factors, from the material you land on, to the distance you fell, to air resistance, to other forces that may be interacting with you during the fall (e.g. gases and smoke moving upward from the heat of a burning skyscraper would exert some force against your fall, even if perhaps negligible). It’s theorized, for example, that Magee survived because he hit a glass ceiling first, and that helped slow his fall and dissipate the force of the initial impact, allowing him to survive hitting the ground.

In short: life isn’t Minecraft or some other video game, there is no height that guarantees death. Saying “building tall, thus they must die from fall” is not how physics actually works.

So when is Rogan going to post the Trump interview? Does he have a set time for this or anything? I thought it was today but i dont see it.

Boomers disowning friends and family because the TV told them to:






Because MAGA is a divisive religious cult.

Ooh, this one didn't go how the intern thought it would. I wonder if they'll delete it.

I'm the external source; I've been on this site longer than a few months but been living in NYC far longer, and yes, I personally watched the WTC get hit twice, nigger.

Post a source that isn't a rando shilling a book who verified, jumpers from the WTC on 9-11 were still alive.

Have you heard of “terminal velocity”?

 

[Your Girlfriend's Dad]

A lot of people also don't know that a high number of 9/11 jumpers were still alive after hitting the ground. So, while I cannot say in strong enough words that suicide is never the answer and I would rather someone on this board reach out to anyone (including me) before considering that option... I also suggest against jumping to your death.

Suicide is pointless. Might as well play it out.

Ask these "people" what they did to those who didn't mask or weren't lining up to take the Vaxx day on.

 

[oh no its pipkun]

Ignoring the swing state polls, could the popular vote being tied mean nothing for Trump? Couldn't it just be that a lot of the deeply red states turn out and vote more for him because of the assassination attempt? A lot of blue voters in California and New York stay home but come out in the swing states because of all the awareness? I see a lot of arguments using those popular vote polls but it doesn't mean it's going to be a uniform increase of votes across the board.

that cnn guy was saying trump was gaining support in CA.

 

[quaawaa]

Yep, Covid revealed who would have supported the Nazis in the 1930s and it isn’t the Right.

 

[FlappyBat]

Merrick Garland responds that the investigation is solely the purview of the FBI and Federal Government and that Florida has no role in this investigation and thus no right to any of the Federal information nor the right to question the perpetrator.

A Floridian citizen was shot in Florida and the Floridian government has no role in the investigation. Fuck off you gigantic faggot.
