I think his response to getting shot is what sealed the deal. If he ran away like a pussy that event would not only lack the same impact and it would also hurt his image as it would make him seem cowardly. Trump got the mandate of heaven when he stood back up and told everyone to fight! He was standing with the people who were hurt or killed with them that day which is a good marker of a leader. Also helps that the photo of it was patriotic as fuck!
Trump rising to his feet and chanting "Fight!" saved lived.
A panicked crowd can easily stampede over each other.
 
The only political talk I overheard at Thanksgiving dinner was my parents' boomer neighbors bringing up how Musk and Ramaswamy are going to do away with the EPA, thousands of federal employees will be without a job, and both are crazy ("Which is why Trump likes them."). They get their news from the likes of MSDNC and Colbert, so it was not surprising to hear that.

I'm so thankful I live in a family where we laugh at those people. I'm glad I live in a family that will read my phone when I throw them a list of the horrible things the EPA has been doing and how they've been given carte blanche by Biden to become a rogue agency de facto government. I'm very thankful my family understands that the EPA and FDA are evil mafiosa style fuckwads and the sooner they all find themselves in prison, the better for everyone.

I'm also thankful that my family is smart enough to understand that getting rid of the EPA doesn't mean we won't have environmental regulations, they'll just be out of the hands of a federal government that's gone absolutely mad with power. Mostly because the idea of Trump getting rid of the EPA and then not keeping the good regulations they had is absolute insanity and not what he's going to and anyone who thinks that has an IQ peaking at room temperature.

I guess I'm saying, I'm glad my family isn't retarded. At least most of them.

On a somewhat related note, it’s very classy that he often recognizes the firefighter, Corey, who was killed that day. I think that fact that someone did actually die and it wasn’t him made the event hit home more strongly more Trump. He seems changed since then.
 
At this point Hillary running on the primary is nothing more than a vanity catwalk for her.
She will just concede at the end to whoever will be the actual dem nominee, i think they'll stage it like an Obama moment. Like a pseudo-queen granting the title of knight to the chosen one of the democrat party.
I disagree. The dems don't have any strong presidential candidates, the party is fractured into a couple of factions with hillary still having pull if not the reigns of one of them, and her ego wouldn't allow herself to be obama'd again.

Not that I personally think she will run again, mind you, this is either rumors or her ginerly dipping her toe in. We'll probably see newsome humiliate himself by running or pritzker buy the nom. Then they'll have to take on Vance who will run circles around them.
 
Mate we used to have this thing called "obscenity laws" technically we still do, but that's not the point. if you sold pictures of naked people you could face legal consequences for it and the best way around this was to argue that you weren't selling porn, but art it's why playboy had articles. At the end of the day though most people are still buying for the pictures of the naked people and not the incisive social commentary.
I remember a Hustler mag from many decades ago that even had an essay on health insurance.

Sexy AND informative!
 
I always enjoy people who can barely speak English ignoring the reality of Covid.
Trump did what he should have done and left it to the states to decide how to handle things internally while giving them federal support.
It was Anthony The Bathhouse Scientist Fauci who made up social distancing rules, hid evidence of the source of the outbreak, and advocated for lockdowns.
Trump was listening to experts and petty leftist tyrants kept their controls even after it became apparent it was all nonsense.
Leftist governors and Butch Levine killed tens of thousands of elderly people by forcing nursing homes to take covid patients.
Dem governors kept things shut down long after it was necessary which crippled the economy an economy that was doing incredibly well prior to Covid.
Trump tried to shut down travel from China(albeit too late) and was called a racist by Dems who told people to go hug people in Chinatown.

I still think way too much credence is given to Rogan as some form of kingmaker, but there is at least a sense of old fashioned respect he has been receiving, and therefore giving, to the Trump Hat Pirates in recent months.

I await the episode after MAL to be Rogan talking to Eddie Bravo going "oh my God, dude, the amount of quality in the food there, gaaaaaah heheheheheh, and you will not believe how much respect and care the workers there give you, and bro, they looooooove Trump, I mean, looooooooove Trump."
 
2 is even more nuanced. She defended, as was her -job-, the legislation her legislature made.

One is almost common sense, since it would make it almost impossible to go after police who actually are abusing their power for murder due to overlapping defenses and police in Florida already have defenses for use of force without this. And the second... is literally her doing her job.


Call me skeptical on her being anti-gun.
And neither of those is as concerning as Lindsay Graham's eager endorsement of her...

Hate Joe Rogan, hate Ben Shapiro, hate Theo Von, hate Jordan Peterson, hate all of these fake intellectual podcasters that people listen to. Most of the Joe Rogan podcast is some dude trying to sell some "alternative reality" with cherry picked facts, not interested at all.

His reach is bullshit and attributing him to being part of why he won is retarded, it was cool but listen to Trump in that podcast just sticking to message and repeating himself over and over.

There might be other things, like him having a lighter schedule and Trump footing the bill on some travel expenses
