I didn't watch the debate and I will hold my thoughts until I hear from Dick Cheney.

that's a good thing, Harris dominated trump.  Like, stomped

Many people are saying that no candidate has ever been humiliated this badly in a debate. Should Republicans demand that he step down to make way for a candidate who is not completely demented?

Not gEing here. Can you imagine watching this debate from another country and realizing that there is a nonzero change someone as unhinged and unmoored from reality as "Brown People Will Eat Your Pets" Trump could be president of the US again? It is really hard to wrap your brain around.

Can you imagine living in another country and constantly observing that one political party repeatedly and contentiously gaslights the populace.  Repeatedly telling them that what they're experiencing is not real, because #blueanon picks and chooses the moment that it pays attention to the "local authorities" aka The Police.  One minute absolutely despising their very existence, and the next hanging on their every word or non words in their "official reports" when it helps them politically.    :thumbsup:

Imagine observing a political party that tells the populace for 3.5 years that a clearly mentally disabled person is "sharper than ever".    :thumbsup:

Imagine watching a government continuously talking about "threats to democracy" and "disinformation" and then realizing that the head of that government got to his position on the back of one of the biggest disinformation campaigns in modern world history.  :thumbsup:

Add this to the top 3-5 craziest crap he's ever said. It only rises to that level because he absolutely believes it.

Channel 5 should do some “boots on the ground” reporting from Aurora, Co and Springfield, OH
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

This is the life and times of #blueanon/#blueanongE



I work with people regularly who live in Europe and I assure you, they laugh and mock Trump supporters and compare him to Hitler. Since I work with a rotating group of them (not just the same individuals all the time) they often poke and pry without directly asking my political views very quickly. And it is often revealed that they would have had a hard time working with anyone who could vote for someone like that.

So, you can make some crap up saying they don't like Trump because he "puts other countries in their places" because he's such a "strong man". Or say that they "only consume super liberal European media that never tells the truth". But they all travel the world, and America, plenty. But as someone who works regularly on imports from Europe, I can tell you that all of the tariffs are put onto the American consumer, NOT the European exporter. So they chuckle about that as well.

But their main takeaway is that they can't believe this is happening somewhere in the world. And by "this" I mean "people voting for a rough ridin' lunatic".

I didn't mention Don Trump in my post one time.

If you read that post and all you knew was that post, you wouldn't know Don Trump even existed.


Your post is particularly notable to me since VW (for example) just announced that they may, for the first time in their history, shut down a production plant.  The European manufacturing slow down which is almost wholly driven by the Ukrainian war and their over reliance on Russian energy.  Of which Don Trump told them to stop buying.

That said, your post has quite literally nothing to do with I said . . . absolutely nothing.

Is this where I post the videos of (for example) Giorgia Meloni acting like she'd rather be getting a colonoscopy without anesthesia than be in the same room with Macron?  Or the videos of the protestors in the streets of France, or German farmers firing cow crap into the sides of their government buildings?

Edit: I'll also remind Steve that European SNL type shows absolutely clown Joe Biden and Kamala Harris . . . the former, with zeal and verve.

Men and women. The same demographic that boycotted the NFL cause of bud light and kneeling and gradually came back cause of Mahomes. Did not even know who Taylor Swift was.

This seems almost impossible. Like, I couldn't name one of her songs and if one was playing, I wouldn't have any idea it was her, but I live on earth and at least know her name and how huge she is. I know that demo you describe above is a bubble, but holy crap, she's the most famous person on earth and has been for years?

Please, we all know my name is Jake at this point.

"Can you imagine living in another country and constantly observing that one political party repeatedly and contentiously gaslights the populace."

This is all I was responding to. Perhaps that's on me. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and plenty of others, just say what their viewers want to hear. That's how they keep them tuning in. So I think all of those channels gaslight their audience to some extent. From pretending Biden wasn't mentally handicapped, to pretending Trump isn't a narcissistic lunatic.

So I just wanted to offer the non-American views I was aware of when you mentioned other countries.
