"If there was a shark or getting electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time."
-
me too

How about this one?
I think it says two things.
- WOW that is some barely comprehensible ensalada palabra!
- It suggest Trump doesn't believe there is every any reason to be good if there aren't consequences.

I was joking that if you play that drinking game (drinking every time CNN tries to screw Trump), you may not survive the night. Likely have alcohol poisoning by the midway point.

BTW just in case Fox News didn't cover the speech that OAM was referring to in the poll, here's some evidence of Trump's clear thinking:

One might ask... Why doesn't the shark get electrocuted?

Exactly.
I'm not watching it.
Got blood work on Friday and don't want to get yelled at next week.
I cornered the market on Milk Thistle lately.
Still take that DIH stuff that FF posted on a few years ago. It works.

One might also ask why this is even a question.
You do not get electrocuted in a boat with a 12 volt battery(s). It's not possible.

I think he was referring to electric boats like these, with significant batteries operating at much higher voltage: https://robbreport.com/motors/marine/gallery/10-electric-powered-boats-1234668640/say_carbon29/
I almost posted that rant in the EV news items thread when you guys were talking about electric boats a few days back.
-
I think even with those it's not possible.
Nobody would approve a design that kills people if a boat takes on water.
It was a stupid question posed by a stupid person.

Of course. Oh, and to mock anyone who is pretending that there's only 1 candidate with a foggy brain in this election.
They both make George W look like a legendary orator.
Trump's steps to success:
1 - have an overly aggressive handshake
2 - mock your enemies and never allow them to complete a sentence
3 - interrupt yourself by going on tangents and tangents off those tangents - leave the audience dazed and confused
4 - deny deny deny
All jokes aside, those 4 steps have gotten him to where he is. And that's all it is.
5 - (optional) hit on your own daughter every chance you get, while ignoring your other daughter altogether

Biden's Steps for Success:

If this was shown to be true, he'd win in a landslide.

I doubt it
I dont think Obama is as much loved today as he was when he was Pres
The Black community is wising up to the fact that Obama did very little that benefitted them
anyway He will soon be out of his third term
-
He was quite centrist, and that would sew up this coming election.
-
I personally see no evidence Obama is running Joe, I think Joe's staff is, and one might argue they are often from the Obama school. Anyway, it's Joe who is running, not Obama, and even if Obama called in every morning and said "Do this, do that", it wouldn't help Joe in the campaign. It might help slightly IF they made it public, but I suspect that would hurt Joe also with some.
If Obama himself could run now, I think he'd win handily. And whether one considers Obama to be a "centrist" depends of course on the political leanings of the person making the call.
I have read those on the Left claiming MSNBC leans right, and folks on the Right claiming Fox News sold out and leans left.

A person on the Left would claim Obama is a centrist, and they likely would view themselves as centrists.
If they moved to France, they might learn they were pretty far right wing comparatively.
Of course, Le Pen in France is often labeled "far right" when her economics policies are pretty much socialist.

Yes. Of course.
I'm getting tired of explaining reality. Just think what you want, I don't give a fuck.
-
I get amused (?) when some folks on FB or elsewhere start saying "Politician X is a centrist, or just barely left/right" which the individual is generally considered to be pretty solidly L/R. I have no problem with such an OPINION, but clearly it basically reflects the views of the opinionator. A person pretty far right would opine for example that Mitt Romney, aside from the dreaded RINO label, is a Leftist. Anothehr person might claim he's a moderate, a bit right of "center", whatever center is.
I have mentioned before how different French politics are from ours, it can be eye opening, at least for me, when I can follow the language or they translate for me. They love to talk about it, usually after dinner and with some good wine, which works for me. I recall being with "cousins" in 2008 and they asked me if I thought Obama had a chance, I responded that he was clearly ahead in the polls and seemed to me very likely to win. They nearly all said I was wrong, the US would never elect a black guy. Their image of the US is ... affected by Hollywood quite a bit.
I was talking with another French guy visiting and staying down the hall from us, we had him to dinner a couple times this month. He's pretty despondent over their choices, well more than pretty. Nobody likes Macron apparently, he's "elitist" and can't seem to appeal to "the folks", but the alternatives, to our friend, are well outside the Pale. That election upcoming will be interesting, although the French President has quite a bit more power than ours.
Anyway, I think the Democrats need to find another candidate, probably Newsom, somehow.
-
Newsom would get obliterated in November.
-
Two things that seem to be an aid to Presidential candidates are being tall and having a full head of hair. He has both, not necessarily better than Trump of course. A third thing is sounding eloquent to some degree and forceful. And yes, maybe a few voters actually examine policy proposals, but they are fairly rare.
-
Newsom would get obliterated in November.
I disagree. He's not a thousand years old and has a limber mind. He'd remind all of us that you don't have to be 100 to run for president.
Any 50 year old chosen at random would look great between here and November.

Unless that person is comparing his policies in office with what the expectations were of him during a campaign beforehand.
I think you could go down a checklist of your making and compare what people thought Obama was going to do/be and what he actually did in office.
Some people are able to consider the masses and not just themselves. It's neat.

Obama did rather little in office.

What does Newsom have to run on?
Only a few states want to be like California. It's a hot mess.
-
Obama did rather little in office.
He got the unaffordable healthcare act done. That's something (and bad).
-
that was kinda big
or as Trump would say, "Uge!"
-
Tripled the cost of our healthcare in year one.
We used to cover employees and their families 100 percent until then.
Now we cover only the employee, they pay $50 per paycheck (bi-weekly), and they can elect to cover their families.
That was a tough staff meeting.
One of my comments was "elections have consequences".
Not that Government workers give a shit...
-
Whether good or bad, the PPACA was something Obama got done, or signed. He also managed to raise the top marginal income tax rate a couple points.
Did he close Gitmo? Stop the oceans from rising? Balance the budget? Address climate change meaningfully? Cut defense spending? End any conflicts? Negotiate any big peace agreements? Ergo, I personally don't think he got much done.
(And the PPACA ended up costing me some money because my catastrophic health insurance plan was not longer an option.)
-
Newsom would get obliterated in November.
Even if I think peoples’ freak out about California are somewhat overstated, I tend to agree with this. Although I have talked to some people who think he would win easily, which also feels like dumb political brain.
-
I think Newsom would be competitive. He'd have 40% locked up of course, along with that any "Blue States". And for Purple States, I think he'd be competitive. He'd tone down some of his previous more liberal commentary and present himself as a "moderately liberal" candidate who merely wants the "rich to pay their fair share", blah blah blah, and "common sense gun control", with as few specifics as possible.
Most liberal positions sound quite good without specifics.
-
Trump would eat him alive on policy alone. Then there's the record of actions. No chance.
A Lockdown Larry is not getting elected POTUS.
-
I think he'd be the best Democratic option. The key would be to mouth vague nice sounding policies and stay away from any details.
The other key would be to avoid "engaging" with Trump, just answer the questions (vaguely) at any debate as asked and let Trump be Trump. A calm intelligent looking demeanor would do well, in my view. Don't try and out Trump Trump.
-
When someone calls an extremist a centrist, that person is simply admitting that they twice as extreme.

I don't think issues matter anymore. He's a handsome, confident face.
Trump isn't for anything, just against things. He cares about 1 person on the planet. His "policies" = how can he make 1 extra dollar.
The masses voted for "who they'd like to have a beer with" in 2000. A smooth talker in 08. And a game show host in 16.
Thanks, Karl Rove. Going hard negative vs your opponent and spewing more lies than can be fact-checked is the algorithm for winning now.
There are enough ideologues and ignorance out there that actual policy has become irrelevant.
I hope I'm wrong. But I find myself caring less and less. Instead of 20% at each extreme and the middle 60% deciding things, we have 20% in the middle and 40% locked in on either end. It's broken.

He left office with less money than he had when he entered office. Contrast that with the crooked Chicago community organizer before him and get back to me.
-
Trump was being Trump. It surprised no one, I'd hope. His "performance" was irrelevant.
This debate was proposed by Biden's people so he could show us he's still in command and has all his senses etc. That really was the only question to be answered, and it seemed to be answered pretty clearly, to me. I was almost shocked. Surely the WH advisors could have predicted this outcome. They see him daily. Were the fooling themselves? Do they want another candidate? It's weird.
Maybe it was a sublevel way to get a different candidate quickly. I'm not sure it will work.
-
He left office with less money than he had when he entered office.
I wonder if someone has ever done an in-depth breakdown of why that was.
Did his businesses mostly lose money? Was it all just asset depreciation, plus loss of value during the pandemic? Then again, his value doubled in the last year on that meme stock he has going.
I don’t think he’s done another book. That’s gotta be a relative rarity.
-
i THINK the idea Trump left office poorer than when he started doesn't have much hard evidence either way. There isn't a lot of evidence for Trump's wealth today, nor back when. It's pretty much conjecture, nearly as I can tell.
His wealth is mostly in property ownership, which is difficult to calculate as the properties can be valued widely by different agencies and we don't generally know which are leveraged. Maybe he owns say Trump Tower, great, and maybe it's said to be worth a billion, OK, but if he has a $900 million loan on it ...
Some folks think he is highly leveraged because that was his basic business plan all along. I don't know.

I can tell you that the occupancies in the hotel rooms at Trump Tower in Chicago went WAY down and got a lot cheaper when he became President.
My wife and I took advantage of that a few times. What a gorgeous place it is.
-
Ok, I gave an experience about what happened to his place in Chicago. That cannot be denied.
I imagine his places in NYC suffered, and others in large liberal cities.
I imagine liberals avoided playing any of his golf courses.
The Community Organizer Crook from Chicago fared much better based off his time in office.
