For now.

Sometime in the future some childless weirdo, represented by the cocksucker responsible for Texas’ SB8, files a suit in Amarillo. Matthew Kacsmaryk of course rules he has standing and then issues a nationwide injunction on schools enforcing vaccine mandates.

It goes to the 5th Citcuit where James Ho farts out a Fox News opinion upholding the ruling.

Then in a 6-3 ruling the Supreme Court rules that vaccine mandates are unconstitutional because Thomas More didn’t have polio.


Polio ! Polio ! Polio !

I think bozo's list of best presidents in the last 50 years might be the worst I have ever seen from an otherwise rational and reasonable person.

It’s not like he posted a pic of a deconstructed burger though.

Good. I hope they become disillusioned with elections altogether.

Best case scenario for November: the stench of a loser becomes too strong and most GOP voters pretend like they never supported MAGA in the first place, and the true believers go back to their shanties, realizing that the deep state is too powerful and elections are meaningless.

Maybe we should put the whole basket of deplorable in a river … but unlike Moses, make sure there’s a waterfall close by.

I was curious what the fuck he could be trying to say. I found a longer version of the quote in a Guardian article:

“You know what’s interesting? Joe Biden won against Barack Hussein Obama. Has anyone ever heard of him? Every swing state, Biden beat Obama but in every other state, he got killed,” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/17/trump-verbal-gaffes-ohio-rally-bloodbath

Seeing that context, I think he was saying that Biden outperformed Obama in every swing state but underperformed in others, suggesting voter fraud. No idea if that's true but appears to be what Trump intended.

The out-of-context clips is the manipulated reality we live in but it's also not necessarily new. Politics have always been about distorting people's statements to the max. It can just be done more powerfully and with more resonance with today's social media.

Make sure it's a leaky basket with a few bricks in it.

I've watched the bloodbath clip a couple times and, like any Trump rhetoric, it's hard to know what he's trying to say. If you parse the words, though, he starts to say it'll be a bloodbath for the auto industry and then interjects that it'll be a bloodbath for the whole country. It's not as ominous as some as the headlines suggest but it's not unreasonable to take as a broader threat. And I think it's consistent with a lot of fears.

I agree at a certain level but they do use very specific words over and over again as a strategy to build action.  Look at the pre Jan 6 rally and you will pick up that every speaker used the word "FIGHT" repeatedly,  on purpose.

His only chance is to win the election, and we can't let that happen

he can't call governors or SOSs and try to pressure them under the guise that as the Pres he is just making sure the election is free from fraud.

and if he tries to pressure anyone as a candidate, well the DOJ will be more than happy to investigate. 

He had every advantage last time (other than being the worst president in the history of the US).

How Trump’s Allies Are Winning the War Over Disinformation
Their claims of censorship have successfully stymied the effort to filter election lies online.

In the wake of the riot on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021, a groundswell built in Washington to rein in the onslaught of lies that had fueled the assault on the peaceful transfer of power.

Social media companies suspended Donald J. Trump, then the president, and many of his allies from the platforms they had used to spread misinformation about his defeat and whip up the attempt to overturn it. The Biden administration, Democrats in Congress and even some Republicans sought to do more to hold the companies accountable. Academic researchers wrestled with how to strengthen efforts to monitor false posts.

Mr. Trump and his allies embarked instead on a counteroffensive, a coordinated effort to block what they viewed as a dangerous effort to censor conservatives.

They have unquestionably prevailed.

0.0% chance the barricades and troops aren’t going to be deployed in full force on whatever day congress meets to count the votes just in case

Can those be used to keep Cruz, Vance, Hawley, et al out as well?

All that does is keep the Bloodbath headline in the news longer than it otherwise would have been.

Biden is currently giving a St. Patrick's Day speech. He definitely seems to be in his zone talking about Irish Catholic stuff.

I think he starts to say whole and then does say whole, I think it’s pretty much what he was trying to say, if he doesn’t get elected it’s gonna be a bloodbath for the whole country.  Guy is as dumb and hateful as he shows day in and day out. The fact that people vote for him is still the craziest part of all of this.

It makes sense. A disturbingly large number of Americans are dumb and hateful.

The only reason 1/6 happened was cause Trump was in charge of the military and national guard and purposely had them stand down.  If he loses this time, the military will be prepared to deter any Gravy Seals.  They won’t do shit when faced with a real counter force.

 

Though I kinda hope they try.

God help me, but I do love Joe Biden. I'm not going to the polls in November to vote against Trump; I'm absolutely going to vote FOR Joe Biden.

Yeah, man. He’ll never get the credit he deserves for saving democracy at least once.

I mean honestly, outside of that, he's been my favorite president since... well, ever, really. I don't think we've had a president where I agreed with what he did more, and disagreed with what he did less. And he did a lot.

Same.  I've looked at all the clips that claim this and don't notice anything but normal old-man movement. 

I'll say this. Joe looks like an older fella slowing down a bit. Dotard looks like a stroke victim or someone with neuropathy or something causing ataxia.

No shit. Compare this video where Trump needs a railing for like 4 steps vs the video of Biden strolling down the capitol steps.

This a perfect example of how the far-right has gamed the system and discourse and why we are so fucked. 

Trump can say stupid/horrible shit everyday that can't be disputed, but fucking one time that context can be "disputed" and it's an all out siege from these fucking assholes.
