If my boss failed to give me a paycheck, there would be two followups. The polite followup where I presume there was a mistake, and the not polite followup where I presume there was not. Guy doesn’t want 70 million not polite followups. He is not ready for that kind of bipartisan smoke.

Folks were saying Biden was senile but jesus fuck Schumer’s brain worms must have eaten every last drop of intelligence that man had.

Pot is happy kettle no longer competing with it.

Schumer did manage to get GOP leadership to agree to hold a vote to ensure that the D.C.'s budget did not suffer a $1 billion cut. The House’s bill was written to include the budget reduction, sparking concern.

Has there ever been a primary challenger beat the incumbent president for the nomination and then win the election?

There’d have to be a primary challenger who beat the incumbent first, and I don’t think that one has happened. I know Ted Kennedy got relatively close (Well, closer then the others I’ve mentioned, still blown out 1900 to 1200 delegates) to knocking out Carter on the Dem side, other then that, Reagan and Ford in 1976 was decided 1,121 to 1078 for Ford.

Primaries are kind of a moot point for the incumbent if they want to run again.

Trump in 2020 had 2,549 delegates. The next closest was Bill Weld with 1.
Biden in 2024 had 3,905 delegates. The next closest was uncommitted with 37.
Obama in 2012 had 3,514 delegates. The next closest there was also uncommitted, with 72.
Bush in 2004 had a clean delegate sweep of 2,509.

I feel like if Biden had stuck with something like, “I’m going to be one term and let some younger folks lead, we need some folks who are going to see the consequences of their actions running the show, not 70 and 80 year olds.” and had an actual primary, Harris wouldn’t have been the nominee and said nominee would have won. There’s a few other things that could have helped, but the short campaign was definitely a huge stumbling block.

Fetterman was on bluesky saying he was on board.

Imagine speedrunning your way into the great depression.

Trump is the faultless man. Nothing is ever his fault. Economy going bad? Biden did it. Trade war? Those other countries should have just accepted the tariffs without response. That puppy? Shouldn’t have gotten in front of his swinging foot.

The largest private employer in the United States is Wal-Mart. I can assure you that cheap prices are 100% part of the American dream.

We know that female candidates with male VP’s named Tim don’t win against Republicans. Hillary and Kamala proved that. But this is wholly different, so its possible, concievable…

He’s just disgruntled several thousand federal employees. Maybe he’s never heard the term Going Postal?

crazy to me that he’s thinking the guy who might be funding anti Trump podcasts is a threat and not the richest man in the world who has agents infiltrating and collecting data on every government agency. Like, is dudes tin foil hat on right?

If only there was something the Senate could do to like, remove him from office for acting like a dictator… some sort of, call me crazy, impeachment.

Man who threw molotov cocktails at gas station blamed for explosion.

Sounds about right.

My conjectures:

Musk: Trans kid who disowned him for being shitty so obvipusly it must be trans peoples fault and not his.

JKR: I firmly believe she’s selfhating in the closet trans. The equivalent to the homophobic pastor who eventually gets caught with the choir boy. We just haven’t seen the choirboy yet.

Zuck: Not transphobic, just a sociopath (at worst) who will go whatever way the wind blows.

Shot of tequila-> ehhh… he’s trying at least?

I fucked hot latina bitches-> brother, calm yourself.

He should be feeling angry he’s going to be remembered for helping Israel commit genocide, refusing to step aside and let the younger generation lead, and enabling fascism, but his hubris won’t allow for that.
