You know. I supported Trump before he ever ran for president. I could look passed the grab them by the pussy thing; the racism thing; the white supremacy thing; the rape thing; the epstein thing; the incoherent speech thing; the nepotism; the criminal activity; him sucking off putin; the dictator thing; etc. etc.
But to hear him confuse Biden for Obama, I’m out.
could look passed
sigh
Sorry =[
Props for letting it ride and not editing
You could always edit…
Than the follow up comment seems weird.

Sigh
Oh no!

Oh Yeeeah!

You can leave the old version with it
crossed out. You just do two ~ on both ends of what you want crossed.
I’ll just look passed it.

Am assuming this is completely tongue-in-cheek.
This case is super obviously sarcastic, but I’m going to use this to push the idea people should use irony or sarcasm punctuation, but none are available in unicode yet for some reason. That needs to change. I know we can use /s, but I hate that representation.
A sarcasm detector, what a useful invention
Germans suggested using the Fe symbol for iron, get it?
Brought to notice by Harry Shearer on his Le Show in the 1990s where he reported it as a sincere submission.
There’s always SpongeBob text
If you need sarcasm punctuation, then you’re not doing it right.
Not everyone has the same ability to infer from asituation that a sentence is sacastic (especially with written speech). Sarcasm punctuation makes the joke more accessible, which I believe is a good thing.
Poe’s law friend. Flat earther’s started sarcastic and idiots believed them.
This is not true. Sometimes sarcasm is indistinguishable from a genuinely held belief of someone you’re implying is wrong.
In spoken language we shift our tone, usually up and down randomly, while being sarcastic, which can be shown by shifting BEtweEEN CapITal anD LowErcASe. This isnt a great solution though, especially typing on mobile. Just like spoken language you can tell if someone is asking a question by the way the sentence is said, we need a marker for written language to tell the reader it’s a question, which is the question mark. If written language didn’t have this issue we wouldn’t need a question mark either. It does have that issue and we do need a question mark and a sarcasm mark.
If you repeat an absurdity in jest often enough, someone will actually believe it as truth. Marking it as sarcasm is a minor moral duty.
It has to be. Right?
Right?
Don’s tongue between Uncle Vova’s cheeks.
Add it to the list.
Lolbruh
Trump can mistake Hillary Clinton for his wife and it’s not gonna change a god damn thing. He’s a fuckin dope, and if people don’t get it by now they’re never gonna get it
They get it alright. They like him for what he is.
They do and he empowered them to get loud and fight for their “beliefs”. We’re all like “Great, another folksy dope remark, from the folksy dope”, but they see their own view on things confirmed by the great, successful & rich version of themselves.
At least that’s what I’ve come to believe, after all these years of jaw dropping things said and done. The reaction to most things Trump does and says, should be a “No” in unison from every human being that can add 1 and 1.
You’d be surprised how many can’t
Trump thinks about black men a lot.
He’s obsessed with Obama. This event literally changed history. Trump may not have run without such humiliation.
That was not trumps first attempt:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2000_presidential_campaign
I think he would have tried either way. He talked about running in 2000 or 2004 as a Democrat, and even suggested Oprah as his VP
He’s demented. Literally.
Of course he’s not, He’s a stable genius: “I took it, and I aced it,” “I think it was 35… 30 questions. And let me tell you, you know, they always show you the first one: a giraffe, a tiger or a whale. ‘Which one is the whale?'” “The first questions are very easy, the last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question,” “It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ So they’d say, ‘Could you repeat that.’ So I said, ‘Yeah. So it’s person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’" https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-brags-aced-cognitive-test-new-hampshire-1234948621/amp/
Did you say the same thing when Biden couldn’t remember Obama name?
Why wouldn’t we?
They don’t even need to. Retirement age exists because we acknowledge that passed some point people are to old to function properly on the job. So what the fuck are they doing in politics?
When offered 2 bad choices i’ll stick with the lesser evil though, which is the one not literally quoting Hitler and campaign promising a dictatorship.
Retirement age exists because we acknowledge that passed some point people are to old to function properly on the job.
That is…not correct. Retirement age exists because at one time it was expected that people would generally achieve a certain level of wealth and live out the rest of their days doing what they wanted with that wealth and time. Plenty of people >65 are fully capable of certain types of work.
Retirement age exists because at one time it was expected that people would generally achieve a certain level of wealth and live out the rest of their days doing what they wanted with that wealth and time.
A retirement age exists because it was fought for by the labor movement, and it was set during the creation of Social Security in the US during the New Deal. It was also set at the average age of death IIRC, and because a large part of the homeless problem during the Great Depression was seniors who had not saved enough money to support themselves without a job’s income and were largely unable to obtain new work.
How is genocide the lesser evil?
Because genocide plus fascism is worse than genocide alone. Is this even a real question or are you just trolling?
Genocide is genocide, with or without fascism
No one’s saying it’s not, but one plus the other is worse all around that just the one (still Bad Thing) alone.
Yeah but what about Obama’s TAN SUIT?!?!
1x Genocide < (1 x Genocide + fascism)
you are right, but god damn do I hate it
Fair. It’s a shit sandwich.
The alternative is the same genocide, plus even more of it in more places, most likely. Including right here on American soil.
If a dog pisses on the floor and you give them a treat they are gonna think it’s ok to piss on the floor.
Biden could come out and say I could kill 30k Palestinians and my supporters will say the other guy is more dangerous…
If your dog pisses on the floor you don’t throw him out and invite a wolf in instead.
Dont reward a pissing dog. You dont have to vote for either.
These aren’t dogs, they’re people with political power. You’d have to be a moron to think a slap on the wrist is worth the actual collapse of democracy.
If the only available choices are varied degrees of evil democracy has already collapsed
Rebuilding the US into a dictatorship seems like something, that should be avoided. But then I am not a US citizen.
We have a dictatorship of capital which rules over the duopoly
Yeah so why not just hop in bed with actual dictatorship?
Just look at Russia; it’s going so well for them! No genocides at all and it solved all of their problems with capitalism!
And they have shopping carts!!! Let’s be Russia!
/s
Don’t worry I’m sure he knows what it’s like to live in Russia.
Do you honestly believe that trump wouldn’t also support that genocide? Netanyahu is a longtime friend and supporter of trump’s.
Sadly we are stuck with a “lesser of two evils” situation - and Biden, while supporting evil, is still less evil (by far) than trump.
What Trump might do is irrelevant, instead of focusing on what ifs, people should be focusing on right now.
What an enormously stupid thing to say! What a candidate might do while in office is literally how you decide your vote…
So let’s ignore Biden committing genocide because the other guy might do it too
Lesser evil is still evil, it really is a testament to how bad things have gotten.
Neither option cares or would actually change much about the atrocities.
Yes.
When you vote for someone you are also voting for the advisors and their other support staff. I much prefer Bidens support staff.
Trump is far too narcissistic to listen to anyone on his support staff tho. I’m sure they’re constantly trying to reign him in. But somehow he remains inexplicably popular.
Even his CoS that pushed Obama for cuts to SS?
Oh no, that’s worse than anything Trump has done, you’ve convinced me, switching sides now.
Sorry your guy isn’t doing anything to help sales, tough gig.
I dont know who ‘your guy’ is. I dont support either right wing pedo
Do you have the ability to vote in the coming election? Are you eligible?
That’s irrelevant, neither right wing pedo has earned my vote
Opinion discarded
“Obama’s”
This little slip doesn’t prove Donnie is demented, but he is demented.
Didn’t he call his wife “Mercedes” a week or so ago?
Yea but to be fair he has a sticker on his Mercedes that says, “My other car is Melania.”
Yeah, they are both old fucks. Anything else?
Because everyone knows Obama is secretly controlling the Deep State from his hidden bunker compound in his original birthplace of Kenya. /s
That’s seriously what maggots think. All of them. I watch a lot of their media and so many of the elected politicians still even say “who’s actually doing that, not Biden, is it Obama?”. Like they could come up with detailed conspiracy theories that would take someone just a few searches to realize its bullshit. But they don’t even need to do that anymore. The population is so retarded that all they need to do is reference that last guy they hated. Biden is a senile and incompetent, right? MUST BE OBAMA. Who they still think is either African or Middle Eastern and never showed iz gurd dam berf ferticate.
I never understood the Kenya thing. Even if he was born there, his mother being an American citizen at the time of his birth makes him a natural born American citizen and eligible for the presidency. Hell, McCain was born outside the US and was running against him in the same election.
But McCain was white.
Is this the election for US presidency or for who runs the next bingo evening at the local nursing home? Can’t make this shit up
[…]
At 77 and 81 respectively, Trump and Biden are the oldest people to run for the presidency in US history. “Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to throw around the nuclear word. You heard that. Nuclear. He’s starting to talk nuclear weapons today,” said Trump, on Saturday night in Richmond.
The crowd reportedly went silent as the Trump referenced Obama, who left office more than seven years ago. It’s the third time Trump has made the blunder in the past six months.
[…]
Trump’s mistake came the day after Biden, twice confused Ukraine and Gaza as he announced that the US would airdrop humanitarian supplies to Palestinians in Gaza who are dying of starvation due to the Israeli bombardment and blockades.
“In the coming days, we’re going to join with our friends in Jordan and others who are providing airdrops of additional food and supplies into Ukraine,” Biden said on Friday. The US will “seek to open up other avenues into Ukraine, including possibly a marine corridor”, he added.
A White House official later clarified that Biden meant Gaza – not Ukraine.
[…]
Confusing two ongoing humanitarian crisis, when both are constantly in the news and both are impacting the popular perception of the administration is absolutely understandable. Confusing the current president for the guy who hasn’t been in office for years, who has barely been in the current news or media lately… It’s an obvious bad faith argument.
Look, Trump shouldn’t be running for President, he should rot in jail. But that doesn’t change that Biden can’t get out 2 straight sentences without fucking something up. I absolutely don’t get why they wouldn’t let anyone younger run instead. You should be sharp if you’re one of the most powerful people on this planet, your daily decisions can affect billions.

What I wonder is if there will ever be a Gen X president.
So far it’s been:
Name Generation Nixon “Greatest” Ford “Greatest” Carter “Greatest” Reagan “Greatest” HW Bush “Greatest” Clinton Boomer Dubya Boomer Obama Boomer Trump Boomer Biden Silent If it hadn’t been for Biden, the Silent Generation (1925 - 1945) would have been skipped too. The clustering of birth years is interesting too. Both Nixon and Ford were born in 1913. Both Carter and HW Bush were born in 1924. Clinton, Bush Jr. and Trump were all born in 1946.
It’s horrifying to hear people talking about WWIII when we’re still dealing with the effects of the last one.
It’s horrifying to think about WWIII period.
Unfortunately not for everyone…
I mean, look at WWI and WWII. They weren’t far apart. I would love to not think about war at all.
He is not senile. It was a joke. It’s just that Alzheimer made him forget he already used it.
Ahh, more 4D chess I see.
Factoid; all chess games are technically 4D.
You can argue 3D pieces + time but in the abstract the board only uses two dimensions
Wouldn’t checkering itself, even in the abstract, need to reference two discernible colours or shades, and so, wavelengths of light, and so, some extension along a z axis, and position in time? Is it possible even for an abstract checkered pattern to be defined in any less than 3 dimensions + time?
And for some reason there’s a video of Biden on the article instead
That’s just how it works. Trump loses 40% of the Republican vote in Michigan, And it shows his strength. Biden loses 20% of the vote in Michigan, and it shows his weakness.

You really like trump, eh?
USA continuously confuses Trump and Biden for good candidates though, which seems like a worse mistake.
Please stop with the false equivalence
Why is he wrong? He’s not comparing the two to each other, he’s staying that neither are good candidates, which is objectively true
Biden is a great candidate if you support his policies.
Trump has absolutely no policies.
Big difference.
You utter poltroon
Obamna SODA!!! moment
Thanks, Obama.
I swear this guy has either an orange or Homer’s monkey on his head.
Fits his message though. “All those leftists are destroying the country and are all the same anyway!”
He says stupid shit to piss people off… he’s not losing his mental faculties at all…
