I definitely thought it was weird that a lot of people were specifically blaming the comedian for the PR jokes. Like, yes, the jokes came out of his mouth, but they were laser targeted at his audience.

Glad to see Trump once again clearing up the confusion about who’s the main villain.

“I don’t know anything about the comedian,” Trump told reporters. “I don’t know who he is. I’ve never seen him. I heard he made a statement, but it was a statement that he made. He’s a comedian, what can I tell you. I know nothing about him.”

I think he may actually be doing his best to tell the truth here and is simply that far gone.

Also summary of campaign.

Fun fact: After you have been elected as President of the United States you are no longer allowed to drive any motor vehicle besides on private property for the rest of your life. This became heavily enforced after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.

I guess my point is this was bullshit from the start.

Have I not seen picture of the Obamas cruising around after his terms? This one’s a new one for me and is a fun fact.

There was actually one time when Obama decided “fuck it” and start driving around the white house, like not even anything crazy and just driving around on the driveway, and the secret service rushed to close the gates so he couldn’t get out. He said “That was my big joy ride. Three times around the South Lawn driveway. It was wild.” If you’ve ever seen the Obamas driving around, I bet you he was not the one driving.

That was during in his “Comedians in cars drinking coffee” episode with Seinfeld and it was cleared in advance with the Secret Service. They also had to eat in the WH cantina.

My local news presented it entirely as a “Biden said garbage”, and then played short clip of Harris disowning Biden.

I live in a blue state.

That is funny.

Sadly the media has never been liberal. Or not much of it. (As it is not really a thing.)

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
