“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”
Former President Donald Trump, who four years ago called on Joe Biden to take a drug test prior to the pair’s first debate that September, decided to make the same demand on Friday—one that Biden is sure to wave away once more....
The top GOP consultant needs to be reminded that what Roodles did was one of the very worst crimes. Just because he's a rich white Republican doesn't mean it isn't.
These tools probably actually believe this country was founded on "the" ten commandments, even if the secular founding and the freedom FROM religion flies right in the fact. The first of "the" ten commandments and the First Amendment come into conflict right away. Their silly fanfic has their god Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh declaring there is to be no other god but him. Meanwhile, my First Amendment means I don't have to give a flying fuck what they say their god says.

From the newspaper that's been championing the #BidenSoOld stuff!
...yes, I realize it's an op-ed piece, but still. How much ink/screen space has NYT spent on #BidenSoOld to prop up the horse-race bullshit? I'm thinking all the very rich owners of these outlets are thinking all their wealth will shield them from the very worst outcomes of another Ronald McDonald presidency. Apparently, they have learned little from the past.
The typical horseshoe stuff is definitely in play with RFK. The usual crank stuff like vaccine denialism, not to mention people with a chip on their shoulder thinking they have to "send a message" and have "let the world burn" type of attitudes...people that are so Enlightened (TM) that they'd rather everyone learn some kind of lesson rather than accept that the two adult choices we actually have are: Donnie or Biden.
Those are the choices.
The election system we have doesn't care about anyone's theories or lessons or messages they want to send. A lot of RFK/Stein type of voters haven't grown up enough to realize this.
LOL, we'll see how much of a winning strategy this is. Naturally, the repub party doesn't GAF about what the majority thinks; they'll happily ram through new rules over the wishes of most of America. But as things are right now (meaning, we still have elections) they have to try to sell this to Americans.
Ever since I can remember, I've heard crotchety old men whine about no-fault divorce. Many of these were from the so-called "Greatest Generation". I thought most of this would be something I'd never hear much about as that generation slowly faded away. But it seems like a lot of terrible con agendas, it never really dies, it just lies in wait for people to try to start mainstreaming it again. See: their fight against teaching the very fundamentals of biology (evolution), their fight against the very secularism this country was founded on, etc...
How long until these people start whining about women being able to have their own bank accounts, credit cards? What about driving?
Remember this is the media that was offended by the word "pussy" being used, as opposed to the sexual assault that was being discussed. The word pussy is so locker room talk...if Ronald McDonald had only used another term when bragging about sexual assault that would be okay?
