I actually agree with you here, it’s too soon to joke about threats

Celebrating it? You are mistaken. Did you not see my “oh no”?

Good, I hope she spends the rest of her life constantly looking over her shoulder

One of the most bizarre parts of MAGA is how they view Trump vs. reality

bold of Kid Rock to go on twitter and ask Gavin Newsom to step on his nuts
Posted by Sammich

Thank God someone is doing this. Schumer and Jeffries are completely worthless.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

The fact this hasn't been being done for the past 10 years is just more proof...

Do you think she’s more mad that Newsom’s trolling is effective, or that
Posted by doubledown
|
Nit: it’s not effective
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Let me mansplain it to you
Posted by Sounder Yeah guys, Gavin Newsom’s content is ridiculous. But it’s making you uncomfortable because he’s holding up a mirror to what you tolerate on behalf of partisanship. It jolts people out of their passive acceptance of how insane Trump sounds.
|
It’s absolutely effective in making him a top 2028 candidate
Posted by assassin
|
The only reason he won't get the nomination is if he can't shake the California bias
Posted by Sounder

Now that the coast is free of Kamala*

I was referring to if it’s effective to the cult.*

Disingenuous or stupid. Take your pick.

Trump's boorish, uncouth, and unpresidential behavior is so accepted in their circles...

Trump tells a Sir story that definitely didn't happen
Posted by Sounder Trump: "When you go to a voting booth... they asked me for my license plate, right? I said, I don't know if I have. And they said, sure, you have to have it. Oh, it's a very impressive actually."
|
He obviously meant Driver's License, but it's still a lie. *
Posted by doubledown
|
Let's play along for a minute and pretend that Biden got license plate and driver's license mixed up
Posted by Sounder
|
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump doesn't have a driver's license
Posted by Sounder
|
Not knowing how to drive won't necessarily prevent you from getting a DL in NY. *

He couldn't find Israel and Ukraine on a map*

Now do the two wars he said he'd end on his first day in office*

You are probably referring to:

You and I were likely more helpful in stopping any of these wars.*

Hey - I thought you agreed to cut back on the name calling. Don’t go back on your word *

I didn't, you fucking cunt!*
Posted by KingTalkyTiki "I'm thinking about engaging a lawyer."

I think we should go back to icing him out entirely
Posted by Sounder

Here's the difference, you engage him at times like he's here in good faith.
Posted by KingTalkyTiki "I'm thinking about engaging a lawyer."

Good faith? I'm pretty sure that if we were to ever meet in real life,

Ask Detlef how it went last time we "met"....and I was his friend once upon a time.
