US Politics, August 2024 -- "Unburdened By a Has-Been"

unassimilated german is at least novel, points for originality

rogan gets 15m listeners who are unusually persuadable (they listen to rogan?!), and many of them are going to switch away from RFK to one of the other candidates over the next couple of months, and walz would get on with him for the same reason Bernie did. not a bad idea.

xxpost he's named after a snack treat

it is true you can convince rogan and therefor his listeners of absolutely anything with little to no effort

I talked them into buying a pair of Hokas I've got on, good stuff.

i've got the perfect forum for harris.

removing Columbus statues is a 'hate crime'? that's rich

At Home with Vivek, I never miss that.

i always love when my fellow Italians still get so butthurt over Columbus statues, like....the Innocent 11 lynching happened in the 19th century, Italians are white and privileged now now, and Columbus was a genocidal rapist whose statues were enacted to encourage Italian assimilation

-now

Walz has a huge head, the phrenologies are going to need XXL calipers

anyone watching trump shit his pants on live tv?

there is a kernel of truth about german/scandi MN socialism

why

huge audience, a lot of whom don’t consume much traditional media, famously impressionable host that i think walz could charm pretty easily

trump looks exhausted

what is he blabbing about

"We were given Joe Biden...now we're given someone else"--it's so unfair.

yes millions are dead and nobody can afford bacon.

xxxxpost

OMG Trump is so fucked, he's making RFK covered with bugs look presidential in this presser

like re: Columbus you're celebrating an man who got lost and insisted he didn't, then showed up and demanded everybody give him shit, by that logic why aren't there statues of the Jersey Shore cast

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxposts god this thread moves fast

I generally cannot watch him, but I admit I'm curious and would totally read a live blog of the highlights

"She was very nasty to Biden, and shockingly he appointed her VP." You should never pick a VP who's said nasty things about you.

just clips of this as a Harris ad with the words "Say goodnight, Donald" at the end should do the trick.

Grievancepalooza, big surprise. Obama, Pelosi, everyone.

Biden literally was quoted as saying Obama wasn't ready for the big job before he was tapped as Veep

Walz going on Rogan actually isn't a terrible idea, despite Rogan's reputation around these parts as a rightwing crackpot I think the reality is he's just your average dumb bro and if you were trying to get your message out to a mass audience that wouldn't normally listen to you

Hot Ones would be way better though

those are some ugly chairs in the Maher show

Trump clearly entering his "Marlon Brando in Island of Dr Moreau" phase

he sounds like a drunk kid at a bar that got dumped and is just... spinning out and sinking beer after beer

Oh SF has been destroyed, CA as well

So many lawyers

Kamala destroyed San Francisco

Kamala needs to subject herself to hot questions and even hotter wings or fascism wins

I think Harris has to be careful with the "trump is old" stuff, but I would love walz or someone to say "c'mon, let's get you to bed"

Kamzilla

Kamala destroyed San Francisco

is she the one who brought in all the tech companies haha

I may be in the minority but I reject the idea of giving Rogan any oxygen whatsoever, points taken tho

what the fuck is he even talking about anymore

Trump: She picked a radical left man that is, he has positions that are not even possible to believe that they exist. He is going for things that nobody has even heard of. Heavy into the transgender world. Heavy into lots of different worlds. pic.twitter.com/d8i3bPCwtd

trump claims 3 debates have been scheduled and will go ahead.

no confirmation from networks or Harris.

I too enjoy heavy worlds.

Trashing Josh Shapiro now

Fox debate is going to be Trump and a male ventriloquist doing a comedy female voice at this point

'Heavy Into Different Worlds' - best Hawkwind album by far

Button pushed--railing about crowd sizes now.

that's his jam!

He just doesn't have it anymore.

he is fucking rambling about the weight of trucks

lol the video on that tweet, the transcript should be "she picked a radical left, uhhhhhhhhh, man"

is Hot Ones big on a non-YT platform? bc their view counts aren't v impressive afaict but people are maniacs for pols going on it

I may be in the minority but I reject the idea of giving Rogan any oxygen whatsoever, points taken tho

do you think it’s bad when pete buttigieg goes on fox news?

I think it's a wash, pretty much
