I’m just this guy, you know?

Direct message

Oh hey look, Trump is trying to pull a stunt on Biden Harris like Reagan pulled on Carter with the Iranian hostages back in '80.

I’ve been on the hiring end of those conversations before, and frankly I prefer it when a candidate withdraws. It saves me the time and effort of an interview and let’s me focus on other candidates.

Don’t forget, it’s an inter-view-- you’re vetting them as a potential employer just as much as they’re vetting you as a potential hire. It’s completely reasonable to tell them that after further consideration, you don’t think the you’re a good fit for the job and that you’d like to withdraw your application, thanking them for their time and consideration. It’s more professional to be respectful of everyone’s time and withdraw since you already know you don’t want the job.

If they booked you plane tickets or something to fly you in for a face to face…? Eh, they might have a beef with that. You’d have wanted to withdraw before it got that far.

Looks like Python, but in an editor with a weird TUI scrollbar

Vance is truly a gift. If that villain didn’t already exist, the Democrats would have to create him.

(I’m still not convinced Vance isn’t some Manchurian Candidate sleeper agent time traveler sent back to sabotage any future Trump presidency)

Its called a benchmark, used by surveyors as a known point from which to take readings. We had a benchmark on the edge of of our property in the town where In grew up. It was a square, white marble column, like a truncated obelisk with the point cut off to make a 4" square flat top, buried at the roadside and standing a couple inches proud of the grass. It had a cross with a dot in the middle, and a geodetic ID number engraved on the top.

Nailed it with the lawnmower once or twice. That’d really put the Fear in you.

Vance’s Tuesday stop [in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania] is just the start of a three-day, four-state tour, Politico previously reported. Next up: visits to Detroit, Michigan, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin, on Wednesday, plus an additional stop in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Thursday. Those trips will bracket Harris and her running mate’s rallies in each of those cities.

So not just weird, but creepy-stalker-ex kinds of weird.

I see what I see.

“I don’t hide from that. I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president and he changed my mind. I think he changed the minds of a lot of Americans,” Vance told Fox’s Sean Hannity in a friendly interview

Translation: I was against him before I was for him, now that I’ll be the number 2!

That reminds me of an old joke.

A traitor, a rapist and a convicted felon walk into the bar, and the bartender says, “Good Evening, Mr. Trump!”

DONALD TRUMP RAMBLES WHEN HE SPEAKS!

Also, he’s pretty hard on the eyes. Kinda tired looking.
