Presidential Election 2024

[ulukinatme]

Because we’ve never had a black woman as President and that would be inspiring to millions of people? It’s 2024, are you serious?

I want to see you guys saying all this about Marcus Freeman.

Yes, it would/will be super cool when a woman of color wins the job of President, but it has zero to do with the effectiveness of getting the job done. That's the point. It's not a qualification for the job, it should be nothing more than a happy coincidence when it occurs. You should not get picked for the highest job in the land based on skin color, gender, or other inconsequential factors. Inspiring it may be, but it has nothing to do with the job.

Why would we say anything about Freeman? Same thing pretty much applies. He got his position because of his charisma and bond with the players. He was the frontrunner from day 1. He may not have had the experience, but he showed leadership ability. He didn't get the job because of the color of his skin.

Tim Walz spent the last couple months calling JD Vance weird and proceeded to spend half the night agreeing with him

I don't think Tim is cut out for this.

Both debates should have been tearing apart how unqualified the Dem ticket is, but Trump can’t debate. Vance is very good at it.

 

[Irish#1]

Walz needs to be the WH Press Secretary. He talked for two minutes and never answered the question.

 

[Irish#1]

People have absolutely called him a DEI hire. Hell a mod did in the last game thread.

You're correct, there were a couple, but the vast have not said it and neither did Swarbrick like Biden did about Harris.

 

[Irish#1]

Funny you are trying to steer this convo another direction to save face. Of all things said you are defending you being an idiot not your backing of terrorists. Priorities. Lol.

The Toronto Vortex in operation.

I'm a little stoned and about to pass out, let me send a list of places for you tomorrow. What style of pizza do you like? What kind of beer preferences do you have? You're going to be out here for the best time of the year in my opinion, hope you have a good trip!

POY quality. A tip of the hat to you!

Appeals court judges shine light on Tish James’ monstrously stretched case against Trump

Trump’s case demonstrates the monstrousness of §63(12) when stretched as James stretched it.

nypost.com

I'm bouncing this because we had a number of posters staunchly supporting James and the criminal charges. They were certain unqualified idiot Trump was somehow Mensa level in building this elaborate plan to defraud. Apparently, the appellate court disagrees with James.

When it's in response to "why did you lie about being in China" I think it's a fair line to draw!

I know my sarcasm didn't come thru at all. But I'm still trying to process his answer to that question and figure out if he actually told us why he lied about being there.

Well you see given the hard hitting of question of where to get food and beer when I myself I have the munchies, I got a little overwhelmed 😂. But too seriously answer your question. Denver's food is hit or miss. Good pizza is hard to find. For New York style and pizza by the slice, I like Cosmo's. For Chicago, we have a Giordano's out here downtown which is what you would expect, as well as another place called Jimano's. Any brewery is going to be pretty good. For bars, I like the Irish Rover. Typical Irish pub, good food, reasonable prices and have a few different sitting bar areas all with TVs. I have some dispensary recommendations too if that's up your alley 😂

Not that anyone asked but I'll give my opinion 😂
Definitely not a fan of how that played out or any of the other cases not regarding the 2020 election played out. Regardless of his culpability and if any of the non federal cases were being coordinated at the federal level. It looks fucking terrible for us as whole country and it also allows the court system to be seen as political moving forward. It's why I've said I wish Trump's cases weren't playing out in the courts but that I wish McConnell and the Senate would've voted for the second impeachment. Allowing this to happen created much division and will only lead to even more down the road

Last time I was in town I went to Bojoes? That was decent. Probably depends on where my work will be and where I eventually stay.

Dispensaries… I work for the Feds, that’s a no fly zone for me.

Yes definitely don't can be going to them in your line of work.
Beau Jo's (why do allow French spellings to influence any part of our country outside of New Orleans) is pretty good local chain. Blue Moon brewery is pretty nice and so is Breckenridge brewery, but you need a reservation online for there I believe. That place is huge compared to others

Trump stayed out of Biden's way to let him implode on stage. Last night was a masterful evisceration.

1) Why go for "killing live babies" when the easy route of "aborting viable 8/9 month pregnancies" on a whim is right there- Walz straight up lied about that bill but it would have been an easier path to move the discussion to viable babies in the last month. Too cute - go for a bone with more meat on it.

2) Walz nodding in approval half the time Vance was speaking was such a terrible look for their side.

3) Walz knows school shooters - obviously not what he meant but damn those memes are going to be brutal. Taking everything Trump says out of context for a decade makes it hard to "aw schucks" this at the same time he can't admit he got the timeline wrong on Tiananmen square. How is he not prepared for that btw? Are they really expecting to be that protected by media?

4) Do the dems think they are fooling anyone with this immigration crap? They are legal migrants! Then cut Vance off when he concisely explains their legal status is a sham.

5) Those moderators were terrible, just when you think they can't get worse. Really need to have Joe Rogan and Bill Maher moderate a debate. Such self important douches. Again with "fact checks" on Vance and none on the whoopers by Walz. Border crossings down since Trump?!!? MN abortion bill? Nobody gives a shit when Walz was in China 30 years ago but they think they did their job asking him that Q they probably can't believe he wasn't ready for. I'm sure afterward they were like "JFC this is why we give those idiots the Qs ahead of time, can you believe that idiot wasn't ready for that?"

6) Really an extension of 5 - how vapid is that lady for demanding Vance clarify how 25 million immigrants (legal or not) is inflationary to housing prices? Vance was so set on being nice that he couldn't properly answer that one. The most basic principle of economics is supply and demand. Is she claiming you need an expert to determine 25 million people add demand to housing which moves prices higher? Economic literacy is really a problem in this country - no wonder Kamala has a chance.

You might be confused. No one has ever said he has mensa level intelligence. His stupidity is what caused him to get into this spot. Defending his conviction by saying the cost may come down is not the win you think it is.

I didn't say anyone said he was Mensa level. I said how could he go from unqualified idiot to Mensa level to mastermind to create this great caper. The appellate stated she overreached her authority and this was a civil matter, not criminal.

But §63(12) was never meant to turn the AG into what James aspires to be: the uber-regulator of all business conducted in the Empire State.

In particular, it was not intended to let the state government intrude into business transactions between financial professionals that involve no criminal activity. Trump’s case demonstrates the monstrousness of §63(12) when stretched as James stretched it.

He did so, she alleged, by inflating the value of his assets to obtain more favorable interest rates and coverage premiums. Yet none of these counterparties was defrauded; instead, they made money.

With no fraud victims, James was left to concoct fraud damages.

at last week’s oral argument, a five-judge panel of the appellate division was demonstrably troubled by James’ case.

Mostly, the judges worried aloud that the AG had overstepped her jurisdiction and had no business refereeing private transactions between sophisticated financial actors.

Oral argument is not always a reliable indicator of how a court will rule. In this instance, though, the penalty imposed is so out of proportion with Trump’s alleged wrong that it smacks of a US constitutional violation of the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments.

All kinds of complaints about Trump lying, but crickets when Walz does it.

Who is the "they"

It's not a great caper. Trump is and will continue to remain a tremendously incompetent business person.

I'm starting to think that the same outlets that were writing puff pieces about Doug Emhoff redefining masculinity for the modern age are going to be really silent about him beating the shit out of his ex and him knocking up his children's nanny

Every single person's makeup last night looked like they were expecting a small town theatrical production with the audience 50 feet away. God only knows what those women really look like - might have needed a jackhammer to chip off their masks. JD's eyeliner was something else too.

 

[Sea Turtle]

My brother used to wear a little foundation to the night clubs. I would give him a bunch of grief about it but he and his buddy, who did it as well, would just kill it with the girls. I guess, like with women, it makes you more attractive.

Their response will be "Well we are not going to cover it because it is not coming from a reliable source" But you know full well that if it was a Republican Woman's spouse with the same accusations they would 1) cover it wall to wall and 2) actually do their job as journalists and dig down and put all boots on the ground to find the truth of the story.
