Quote from: YoDoug on August 01, 2024, 07:42 AMYour "I'm smarter than you" attitude and pseudo-intellectual statements may work on the millennial machine operators at your shop but we ain't falling for it. FYI

Facts are "pseudo-intellectual?"

Those are things he should have brought up.  Nobody could have argued.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

I won't vote for her because 1)She's never worked an honest day's job, 2) She's never run a company, 3) She's been in Politics her entire "working" (and I use that term EVER so loosely) adult life, 4) She would have never been electable in politics had she not "dated" :rolleyes: the married Assembly Speaker Willie Brown who for her sexual efforts was rewarded with an appointment to a cherished state committee position. 5) In the last election she barely recieved 2% of the vote and bowed out to go suck more dick (conjecture - happened before, no reason it can't happen again) to get the VP appointment.

"You ain't black..."
Yeah, Joe actually said that.

Just try to imagine the sheer volume of shit hitting the fan if Trump ever said something like that... :shitfan:

Quote from: neurosis on August 01, 2024, 07:18 AMWhen they started that interview they did ask him a difficult question to answer. Rather than take the smart approach he went straight in to what he does and completely made a spectacle of himself. I think that he could have given an answer that made himself look good. Or at least, not horrible.

I'm hoping that he knew these questions would be asked?

I think that Trump spends a lot of time not putting a lot of thought in to what comes out of his mouth. I can't tell you whether he is or isn't racist, but he doesn't do himself any favors in setting himself up to be labeled as one. 


honestly, I've been watching the "smart approach" for the last 4 years, it's nauseating. I think he actually handled that question just right.

One other observation: I thought DEI was/is a "coveted Good" in progressive circles. Why do they despise calling Kamala a DEI hire? Do they want us to believe that she was chosen on Merit? And why would they want us to believe that because meritocracy has been labeled as terrible by progressives for many years now.

Quote from: Bucky Cornstarch on August 01, 2024, 07:50 AMLook, G, I've been following this BS since the day after the election, and am aware of every talking point you were ever issued, and will probably be one step ahead of your next marching order. It's no skin off my back if you want to take this crap to your grave, or if you give a shit what me or other rational, fact observant people think. Enjoy your fantasy. Just understand that you are now, and always will be, wrong.

Well,
we can agree on a couple of things
you think I'm an idiot
I think you're an arrogant, thinks he knows it all asshole.
We'll leave it at that and move on.

Exactly! They run these campaigns on DEI this and DEI that. If DEI is so great, why, every time, you call someone a DEI hire, or DEI whatever, they have a fit and claim it's not? I thought it was a good thing?

It's good when THEY say it. When a conservative says it;

Please don't point out liberal hypocrisy.

It hurts their little fee-fees when you mention the FACT that Biden said he planned to choose a woman of color for his VP BEFORE he was even nominated.  :cry:

Why do Repugs delight in calling people DEI hires? It's clearly an insult, insinuating they are not qualified for the job.

Hiring people who are qualified is an undesirable trait? That's just plain silly. Really Beej. :rolleyes:

The scary part of all this is a lot of people who buy into the conspiracy theory stuff are actually intelligent. :headscratch:

That's not the same as being unqualified.

Oh, I get it now.

Being vice president just isn't a black job. :coffee:

Gotcha!  :ball:
