Nice. This is what you’re doing to make people think and have a conversation. A little introspection would be helpful. Just a stupid and offensive little reel.

A sense of humor is a terrible thing to lose….

Sorry, I have a niece, my sister's younger daughter, who has Downs. She's not a "creepy" person, or a tool to be compared with a politician for a cheap laugh. There are different "senses of humor." I am hardly uniformly tasteful, but the sense of humor I had when I was 10 or 12 is, thankfully, not the one that I have now. Again, the "creepy" guy in Deliverance and my niece and countless others are, as you might put it, all God's children, no? Using them and folks like them as the fulcrum on which you pose a cheap, dirty little joke isn't funny. Better to just make fun of his stutter, right?

Try harder. You're the one who asserts you have standards, and standards guided by the Bible and Christ's life and "deliverance" of all of us through his actions. Maybe climb up with better standards and out of this immature little gutter.

I have so many questions now.
But if you took offense to a meme, I'll pass...

I took offense to a "joke" that used a Downs kid as the fulcrum for the "humor." I know, I must hate the Constitution or something.

Hmm, I haven't seen the movie in a while. I worked an an adult daycare for a few years and I didn't spot Down's Syndrome in that character when I watched it. Still don't really see it.
Given the context of the movie, for all these years, I thought he was just a unique looking kid, the result of inbreeding.
I guess it's still wrong to point out Biden's similarities?

It's tasteless and, more importantly, unnecessary, if you are in the cottage industry of pointing out Biden's shortcomings. But, you be you.

Odd how you have an issue with that one comparison, given the amount (and type) of bile that spews from your comrades on all the Trump threads.
Perhaps you're just resigned to all that noise. Or perhaps you enjoy it if its pointed at someone you detest.

His speeches are the very definition of rambling insanity.

If memory serves, I've been hitting the White House for running cover for Biden and lying about it. I can't blame Biden ultimately--we get old, sometimes our brain gets tired along with our body. It happened to my dad near the end. Caused us to have to take his keys away. It was no longer safe for him to drive. Joe's keys will be taken away soon enough. Not his fault. It's the fault of those who continue to prop him up and lie about his condition.

I've heard Trump step in it during his speeches plenty of times. He often has verbal diarrhea and can't help himself. This recent video clip released of him scoffing at Biden and Harris with coarse language from his golf cart only serves to make him look bad. It's probably all his advisors can do to get him to stop being such a braggadocio when the press is around--and, in a strange kind of way, the press these days can end up being anyone with a phone.

Au contraire. I'm around too many North Carolina Republicans, the land of the idiot Mark "just keep your skirt down" Robinson. Trumpists here love that clip. It's just one more time he's telling it like it is, owning the libs, and showing the strength we need from the best president ever. Millions of morons.

Let’s just come out and say it: The prospect of the vice president replacing Joe Biden on the 2024 ticket would be much easier if the vice president were a white guy.

This fact is foundationally, fundamentally unfair and deeply enraging. As much as conservatives are branding Harris a “DEI candidate,” the truth is that, in electoral politics, race and gender work overwhelmingly to the benefit of white men. The United States has had 235 years of unbroken male rule. In that same time, we have had one Black president—a man of outstanding, once-in-a-generation political talents. Kamala Harris is the first female vice president, and the first female vice president of color, in a country where both houses of Congress remain largely white and largely male. A Harris win would usher the first woman, and the first woman of color, into the presidency—a history-making possibility, and a deeply exciting one.

But then: 2016.

Those of us who were sure Hillary Clinton would smoke Donald Trump may be uniquely ill-situated to evaluate Harris’ potential candidacy. Here is a truly horrifying and humiliating admission: I was equal parts appalled and relieved when the Republican Party chose Donald Trump as their candidate, because while I thought selecting him certainly signaled a deep rot in the GOP base, I also thought he was the weakest, most beatable candidate the party had run in my lifetime. In other words, he was a uniquely helpful one to pit against a highly competent feminist woman. Coming at the tail end of the Obama years, I genuinely believed that Americans would watch Trump sputter incoherent nonsense, go on racist and misogynist rants, and demean his female rival, and they would watch Clinton put forward lucid, reasoned policy proposals and approach the office of the presidency with the dignity and respect it deserved, and that victory would be easy for her. Sure, lots of conservative voters didn’t like her, and I was under no illusions that America had somehow solved sexism by electing a Black man and then seeing Democrats run a white woman. But Trump was such an obvious con man who said such disgusting things and comported himself like such an all-out bozo that I simply could not imagine a critical mass of Americans, no matter their politics, listening to him and concluding: This is the guy who should have the nuclear codes.

And yes, Clinton did win the popular vote by a margin of nearly 3 million votes. But she still lost the election—and I lost a whole lot of faith in the American public, and trust in my own perceptions of it.

Perhaps the clearest takeaway from the 2016 election is that, faced with the prospect of a female president following a Black president, a huge number of mostly white American voters absolutely lost their minds. Yes, Clinton had drawbacks as a candidate. But a politics of rage coalesced around Clinton’s candidacy that simply cannot be explained by the fact that, say, she’s a liberal and leftists wanted a socialist (or she didn’t campaign in Michigan.) Joe Biden, after all, ran as a centrist and with a legislative record more moderate than Clinton’s a mere four years later and did not draw nearly the same level of unhinged ire. The misogyny that rained down on Clinton was mostly a right-wing storm, but there was a sexist tempest on the left, too.

The increases were already in the works. SG was just massaging the insecure little man’s ego. Obviously, NATO wants to be on good terms with the US.
