No, I think it's, maybe, a little bit different. So, I've known him a long time indirectly, not directly very much, and he was always of white heritage, and he was only promoting white heritage, I didn't know he was orange, until a number of years ago when he happened to turn orange, and now he wants to be known as orange. So, I don't know, is he white or is he orange - but, you know what, I respect either one

The dems desperately needed someone that can actually travel, campaign, and get registrations up.

This is a MAJOR shift from Biden’s occasional events with a room of folding chairs, and a big difference from Trump’s weird, infrequent, angry ramble-thons. These rallies actually seem like a cool hang.

100%! I remain confident that Biden can perform the duties of President throughout the rest of this term. I also remain confident he could have performed the duties of President for a second term. Sadly it was campaigning for President WHILE being President I thought he struggled with.

I don't blame him, that's a tough job, that's an insanely difficult two jobs.

I've been really happy with what I've seen from Harris over the past few weeks. I'm excited to see her out there every day, every week, spreading her platform, her message and our future.

Unfortunately the duties of the president also include coherently addressing the people.

To the pain means that the first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists, next your nose. The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right. Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why: so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish; every babe that weeps at your approach; every woman who cries out, “Dear God! What is that thing?!” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what “to the pain” means; it means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever.

I didn't know the word cryptid and looked to the root word "crypt", then at the picture of Trump for context clues. I deduced it must mean something like someone half-dead, foot-in-the grave, etc.

But I mused that the root could be cryptic, too 🤔

So I looked it up:

Any creature that may or may not exist. Sightings of various cryptids have been reported, but their reality has not been proved.

Thanks for a new word! Also, Sasquatch exists!!

Crypt is etymologically where dead bodies are hidden when it comes to how we got it from Greek. Necroid or thanatoid would be nice English descriptions of him too though.

He didn't look like he was aging during that time. That is because he wasn't doing any of that job, just golfing and watching TV.

I don't think he wants to win anymore, like the last time it's just a con to make money. He never cared or showed any interest in the job, even when he had it. Don the Con

29
lemm.ee

No I think he wants to win, he just thinks he shouldn't have to work for it because everyone should just see how great he (thinks he) is. And if he can scam a few bucks off the top and get the donors to pay his legal bills for him all the better.

But he very well might go to jail if he's not the president, and he may well get all the charges dropped if he wins. Gotta think he wants to win.

25
lemmy.world

he just thinks he shouldn’t have to work for it

Pretty bog-standard conservative plutocrat mentality. When you've spent your whole life reaching out a hand and finding everything you want in it - money, authority, pussy - why would you ever think you'd need to exert yourself.

But he very well might go to jail if he’s not the president

The SCOTUS has functionally ruled that out and the Dems are going to be more than willing to drop all the charges and forget Trump ever happened, assuming the GOP gets washed in the general.

Dems are loathe to appear threatening to the wealthy class, and letting Trump off will signal its time to get back to business as usual.

2
lemm.ee

I don't think any Democrat is pardoning Trump, if they don't then it's up to the jury and the judges whether he goes to jail. The cases have been filed.

Maybe SCOTUS can rule him immune for the Georgia election interference case but it can't be pardoned.

The Hush Money case he's already guilty and just awaiting sentencing in September.

The stolen classified documents case he wasn't president for that so he won't get SCOTUS, only thing that could be done is a pardon or a failure to continue the prosecution but the appeal of Aileen Cannon's ruling is happening in this administration.

They could absolve state charges? Georgia is a state law that was broken.

2

The federal interest is that they said the US president is constitutionally immune from prosecution for performing his Constitutional duties. If a state prosecutes a president for performing his Constitutional duties, they have violated the US Constitution and SCOTUS is who has the final decision on that.

Think of how SCOTUS decision Roe V Wade said there was a Constitutional right of bodily autonomy, and when states passed abortion bans when Roe was the law of the land the laws just didn't take effect, and the states could not arrest doctors for performing abortions. States can't violate the US Constitution.

(In this instance arguing the election interference was Constitutionally protected would be a huge stretch I'm not saying he WILL get off on those charges but if SCOTUS wanted to they could make it so)

They don't have to. The DOJ can simply drop the charges.

The Hush Money case he’s already guilty and just awaiting sentencing in September.

He's going to get a smallish fine and that'll be that.

The stolen classified documents case he wasn’t president for that so he won’t get SCOTUS

The prosecutors will drop the case as soon as the election is over. These are only tools to tarnish his popularity. There's no serious desire to see a former President locked up.

He is a legitimately good golfer and would absolutely beat the pants off Biden in a golf competition.

That sounds like a compliment until you realize the way you get that good at golf is by prioritizing it over your other work, including being President.

He is a legitimately good golfer

Incorrect. Take it from a very good source on this subject:

To say “Donald Trump cheats” is like saying “Michael Phelps swims.” He cheats at the highest level. He cheats when people are watching, and he cheats when they aren’t. He cheats whether you like it or not. He cheats because that’s how he plays golf, that’s how he learned it, that’s how he needs it, and whether you’re his pharmacist or Tiger Woods, if you’re playing golf with him, he’s going to cheat.

lemm.ee

I hate Trump as much as the next one but he's not a bad golfer. He's just a cheater too. From your own article: "Why does Trump cheat so much when he’s already a decent player?" The two can be the same. Especially for his age. But all that to say that with as much time and money as he has put into the sport, he SHOULD be good at it. It shouldn't be a surprise that he's a decent golfer but he should be a better golfer given how much time and effort and money he's put into it.

-3
lemmy.world

There is a vast gulf between "decent player" and "legitimately good golfer." He is not the latter. He would never have made it as a professional even if he never cheated.

7

Tbf, pros are above "legit good," they're the best, in any sport not just golf. One can be "good" at something without being "as good as the literal professionals."

That said, the difference between "legit good" and "decent" is as subjective as "how many counts as a 'bunch.'"

Legitimately good by what authority?

Anecdotally he cant stop cheating and then boasting with his imaginary score to the point its just awkward not to ignore it.

Haven't been loving the "courting the right" part of her launched campaign, but this works for me. Hitting back on Trump's age should go well after they had their field day with Biden's.

Pennsylvania to Michigan seems okay on the map I guess. But she was in Philly today (unless I misheard?) Then Michigan and Wisconsin... then North Carolina? Like east coast then north east then slightly wester then back to east coast before going all the way west?

Don't get me wrong private flights so who cares and I don't see any straight line thro those places but dam.

I agree that schedule looks pretty random. Somebody in the campaign management is just throwing darts at a map.

MrMcGasionreply
lemmy.world

There is more to schedule when doing large rallies than just the flights, Even just getting venues lined up on what is probably a short notice compared to most events those venues host. It's probably easier to spend a little extra money and time on flights than try to coordinate all your venues and flights to minimize travel distance.

You're thinking Rivian - Rivia is where Geralt claims to be from, but isn't.
