Obama said the same once, exploring the “what if” of if he was elected more than twice.

From what I can tell, Obama said he probably could have beaten Trump if he had run for a third term AFTER the 2016 election was over. Unless you are referring to something different.

(1) neither stand by what some of their more extreme supporters have done, (2) hence some of the people in Trump’s list of allies, who do not fit the racial image promoted by said followers.

On the first point, do I really need to quote the things Trump has said about the January 6th protesters? And those who participated in the Charlottesville white nationalist march in 2017?

On the second point, regardless of many of his supporters being racists, Trump knows he has to still win over black and Hispanic voters in the political game. And why would he reject a lap dog like Ben Carson or Justice Thomas regardless of their skin color?

Your last sentence was too long and I don’t understand what you were trying to say, except: 1. Biden and possibly Harris are the only one on the “Trump wants the send to jail list” that make sense to you, and 2. Not every crime will be immune under the new SCOTUS ruling.

1. Me too, but I know why Trump added them: they are detractors from his “big lie” scheme and/or have criticized him publicly. 2. I understand that in theory, but with a corrupt judicial system, rules can be bent. There are plenty of articles out there outlining how, within currently legal means, the president (whoever they are) can be immune to doing harm to anyone. That, combined with the other reasons I’ve stated, and a myriad of others (Hitler talking points, for example), is the basis for my stance that Trump reaches super villain status.

Some of these things seem solely topographical-based.

That’s not “his” evil plan

Fair, but as the puppet in this theater of government takeover, he is culpable.

which doesn’t even include the president for life part, that was wishful thinking out loud

Clearly, him wishing to be a dictator does not concern you…

the part about jailing opponents is mainly related to those who exploited due process in the political sphere in the past eight years

Can you outline these for me, with some references? The list is:

• Joe Biden
• Kamala Harris
• Mitch McConnell
• Chuck Schumer
• Mike Pence
• Liz Cheney

are we really going to hold someone accountable just because of their toxic fandom?

Absolutely, when he stands by them.

I would say, most of the time, if the game-have is not a jerk, they will be fine with you saying, “Can you slow down?” or asking a question. But like the main comment on this thread said, maybe I just have great game-having friends and acquaintances.

Coincidentally, I saw a similar comment where the the new player was the antagonist, saying things like, “That’s too complicated!” to a simple rule. I tried to find it, but I had no luck.

What has Trump actually done that screams “I am an outright villain for this nation, fear me”?

Do you mean besides the evil plan (project 2025), his explicit statements of becoming “president for life”/overstepping the bounds of the 2-term presidency, talking about jailing his opponents (including some republicans), his associates calling for violence, his lawyers referencing immunity to political violence (military assasination of a political rival), and an actual insurrection by his followers?

At least I’m not the only one. I drink vodka when I drink because it tastes like nothing. Beer and wine are both terrible.

It bothers me that this article calls Epstein “the disgraced financier” instead of “the human trafficker”.

From the link:

And despite what you may have heard, pusillanimous does not serve as the basis for pussyfoot, pussycat, or a certain related vulgarism.

…the theory that Earths surface is the post-apocalyptic “stone-age” setting of The Flintstones…

I am going to have to do some research on this. So, did the rich go all Jurassic park with their infinity money to distract the masses, then when the flood waters rose, they forgot to keep the power to the containment on? Wasn’t there an episode where the Jetsons meet the Flinstones?

Right to work means they can’t be required to join a union. They / you are thinking of “at will employment”. You may get this confused because some states pass them together.

I’m using my app’s built in video player and I guess it didn’t recognize the time stamp. I wanted to give people an idea of the context because I think it’s worth a watch. I’ll give that timestamped portion a watch later.

The title of this video is “An Anarchistic Watches West Wing” or something similar. I only watched 20mins but it was good so far. It’s a criticism of the American Capitalist system, American Democracy (power of the president, presidential hero worship), etc. via the way it’s portrayed in the West Wing.

And I try not to be all “I’m not ADHD and I do this” on this com, but it’s true.

Common core math calls that “friendly numbers”.

Warren being better than Biden and Biden (or Warren) being the most left-wing president since FDR are not mutually exclusive.

Warren is left of Biden and, if you’re left-leaning, that is better AND the most left since FDR.

There’s not a mechanism for it.

Democrats can name anyone as candidate at the convention in August. Biden being the candidate isn’t official yet.

I have a couple white ones growing in my yard. I’m going to place the seeds intentionally this year because some grow where they get trampled or knocked over. I started with one and I think I have 5 or 6 now, but only two are blooming already.

Edit: I just realized this is the pics comm, is this oc? The picture is beautiful. I love how intricate the flowers are, and it was captured nicely here.

Paper wasps would rather bump you with their heads than sting. They are chill, and I’ve worked around them and left nests where I walk because they don’t bother me unless I get really close (and flail, that resulted in a sting).
