I hate Jimmy Fallon but that was awesome.

BigWheelPowerBrakeSlider , in Trump attorney’s fumbles reflecting poorly on Widener Law School in Harrisburg: report

Widener is ranked in US News and World Report. (For what those rankings are worth.) Her bio shows experience in:
"Alina has experience in many areas of litigation including, but not limited to, corporate litigation and formation, commercial real estate (transactional and litigation), family law, the financial services industry and construction-related matters."

I thought that was just Kentucky

homesweethomeMrL , in Thousands sign Christian petition urging bishops not to back Donald Trump

“Not support” and “denounce” are so far apart that they’ve lost before they’ve begun.

homesweethomeMrL , in Nikki Haley Goes All in Attacking Trump's Mental Fitness After Pelosi Flub

Trump during a Friday campaign speech said that “Nikki Haley” was “in charge of security” at the Capitol on Jan. 6, repeating Haley’s name four times where he almost certainly meant to say Pelosi’s. Not only did Trump confuse Haley and Pelosi, he also repeated a claim that he offered to send 10,000 troops, which has been fully debunked by the Jan. 6 committee.

He’s demented. Has been for years. He’s a demented rapist, a convicted fraud, a traitor, and he can’t stop lying. Of course he’s leading the republiQans.

Who else?

I am not clicking on this clickbait bullshit. You should be ashamed for posting it.

How about we allow US Constitutional amendments to be submitted by the public and voted on by purely popular vote. Let's see what the people actually want.

THIS!!!!!

The math works. If CEO’s tell their shareholders that they can keep more money if they spread it around on production, they will happily comply.

So damn hilarious. Fort this, fort that... What a moron.

aren’t you supposed to relinquish you governor position to run for president?

DigitalTraveler42 ,

They literally changed the law for him like last year, the state legislature is full of extremist right wingers and they have the super majority.

teamevil ,

You were supposed to but all he's got to do is ask the Republican majority to do his bidding. Also they used to have to report his state owned plane usage but they got rid of that rule for "security"... which makes sense because the info was always released AFTER he used it...as a way to keep politicians accountable.

Lemminary , in Trump issues ominous threats of ‘investigations’ against Haley if she stays in race

He's openly blackmailing people? Damn.

bibliotectress ,

Again. I cannot believe he's winning primaries. What the hell is even happening.

DarkMessiah ,

It feels like our only hope at this point is for his heart to finally give out from all that blubber and fast food.

the_q ,

Are you serious? People are awful. He's the perfect person to represent them.

TropicalDingdong , in Trump issues ominous threats of ‘investigations’ against Haley if she stays in race

I dont think he makes it through the primaries, but because they're actually having them, they'll have a candidate. He's gone from 'kinda' incoherent, to like, 'wow' incoherent in 6 weeks.

Not sure Biden makes it through either, but Democrats arent' really having a primary. Not sure what happens if he, you know, 🪣 🛴

thesporkeffect ,

There is no chance he loses the primary anywhere he is on the ballot. The only way I can imagine he isn't the Republican candidate is if enough R party officials choose country over party.

So, it's been nice chatting with everyone on here.

This would have made more sense: 🪣🦵

TropicalDingdong ,

Bucket razor scooter

I woke up to see this and I'm dying.

I meant 'kick the bucket', but the first emoji that comes up for kick is a 'kick scooter'

taiyang ,

Modern medicine the way it is, I don't think either will bucket scooter off to death. And Trump probably can run from jail. That said, I do wonder what the contingency plan would be if either of both died before the general election. Has that ever historically happened?

I mean having a primary where you have meaningful debates and multiple candidates would be the contingency plan.

taiyang ,

Even if the general were like, a week after they both died in a freakish accident? I guess they can always post pone the general though. I'm not sure who would have to make the call or if there are rules in place for DNC or GOP

TropicalDingdong ,

I mean, these fuckers are old.

Like way fucking old.

There is a significant non-zero probability that any given week of theirs, is there last week.

I mean how many years do we think either of these two has left?

2? 3? and it doesn't have to be 🛴🪣 , just total mental or physical degradation.

So what they've got maybe 100, 200 weeks ahead of them max? Assuming a uniform probability distribution, that's a charitable 0.25% per week (and I do not believe its a uniform distribution), 40 weeks till the election, call it a %0.25 for either of them individually to kick the bucket: I get 18.14% probability that either one of the two 🛴🪣 in the next 40 weeks. Like its not crazy, they are old af.

I'm sure a student of geriatrics could get us some more informed priors, but I bet thats in the ball park.

reddig33 , in Haley Did New Hampshire Right. New Hampshire Didn't Care.

Did they not care? She got a huge chunk of the primary vote. I don’t think you’ll ever convince Trump supporters to vote for anyone else. It’s a cult. She managed to make a decent dent.

TropicalDingdong , in Haley Did New Hampshire Right. New Hampshire Didn't Care.

Its worth her time to just stick around.

Trump could not wake up any day now. If she keeps going, she might get the nom by default.
