Not sure he’s conservative, he’s often just annoyingly contrarian - he really prides himself on being “that guy”, and he’s definitely a carrier of the Murc’s Law virus. He’s not exactly Patient Zero for it, or even the worst offender - David Brooks shares a lot of the blame, at least in more recent times. But he’s up there with carrying the torch for it.

I’ve seen him do so much both sides nonsense. He is still clinging to Israel, FFS while acting like those that protest Gaza are actually antisemites. He keeps harping on the trans thing.

He’s exhausting to watch and at this point, I’m mostly hate-watching him. And his guests at least on the panel make up an array of annoying choices.

But one thing he isn’t, and it is not someone that really is going to the mat for Kamala or Biden. If anything, he’s almost exactly the kind of guy that would love to gloat “told you so” about how Democrats can be disappointing, as if that’s some big revelation, LOL.

Cons: Bitch about supposed cases of lawfare, incessantly.

Also cons: conduct massive amounts of lawfare.

It’s still wild as hell when I have a conversation with some reactionary centrist and just casually drop that in there that he’s the worst president in history and I get this WellWhatAboutBidenOrKamala?! shit.

It’s just mind-bogglingly stupid.

Sure, Biden is not perfect. Liberals have an entire litany of items they could go over. And he’s also, {clutches pearls, gasps, gets the vapors, staggers to the fainting couch} old, ZOMG. And apparently now that’s inherently bad as we employ the Fallacy of the Young, I guess?

But I would have been just fine with his staff Weekend’ing At Bernie’s that guy over the option of this PEDOnald crime wave of a “presidency”. Easily. Without question.

These people that start up with the “yeah, but I had to live under Obama, and I had to live under Biden, and you can suffer this, too” shit are just so very fucking stupid. I have no idea what cross they think they had to bear under either of those Presidents? They never seem able to articulate anything remotely cogent.

She still would have been way better than this stuff. And that’s the point.

As for intellectually superior, it usually seems to be the ones that love to gloat that they are Above It All ™ because they did the most ridiculous foot-stamping huffy thing that a supposed functioning adult could possibly do when it comes to civic engagement, and that’s stay home or vote third party. And they looooove to tell everyone about it, too.

I seem to recall him saying something along the lines of that if he was going to turn to fascism, it would be because the Democrats made him do it because they called him names like racist, etc.

Like he was using the argument of the wife-beater nearly verbatim - these assholes that accuse liberals and Democrats of “making them racist” because they were called names really is quite something. That’s not how racism works.

I’m sure he’ll blame it on the Democrats, though.

Run for Republican office and be terrible also.

Well, that’s very fucking stupid.

Yeah, but at least he completely invalidated the prior agreement we had with them, and it had the n[CLANG] President’s name on it. That was obviously a threat to white supremacy to have evidence of a n[CLANG] Presidential legacy.

I wish at least one of them would ask about any of his prior “two weeks” types of answers and how they turned out.

He’s doing a “great job” at trying to get back to the same place the black President already had us at?

I wonder just how much of this is his deep and simmering hatred of how much better Obama is than him.

I’m just glad that so much ink was spilled on “Hillary’s emails” and substantive issues about her and Kamala’s “likeability” and the way they laughed and how that hurt the fee-fees of some people.

Not to mention the untold amounts of time spent pointing a camera at an empty podium long before donvict would even show up to speak. That’s some real journalism, let me tell you.

The fact that not much time or money is spent on hammering on the rampant and blatant corruption all around PEDOnald and conservatives in general does not surprise me. They probably spent more time on talking about what should be done about Hasan Piker, FFS.

I think I saw some analysts talking about what Democrats should be doing is talking to all the companies involved, even tangentially, with anyone tied to PEDOnald. Signal to THEM that they won’t be able to be pardoned or anything post-donnie and that they had better make sure they keep all their documents ready. Make them nervous right now.

But same goes for people placing “very well timed” trades. The Democrats should start investigations right now.

This is a lot of things, but probably also market manipulation to make people with ties to Republicans bundles of cash.

I hate this asshole so very much. He wants to kill kids.

And remember: the GOP supports this. They want to kill kids too. Don’t ever let them forget that, especially when one of their dunce base is blathering on about being “pro-life”.

This idiot bit player realtor is way over his fucking head.

How about we get a bill that bans conservatives from the US?

I still feel a bit queasy when I think back on how often we’d hear the term “CEO President” back in the W days.

One of the worst memes ever is the notion that running this place like a business is somehow right and natural.

And even that wasn’t gross and awful enough for anti-American people like Vance and Thiel and Yarvin and Musk and the authors of The Sovereign Individual. They want to go full dystopian.

How that translates to “good at business” is beyond me.

TV. And the very stupid people that think reality shows are real.

When I talk to people I suspect are Trumpers (they never come right out to me)

The term for these people that I just love is “reactionary centrists”. Some of them will even claim to be “independents”, LOL, but the very minute you do even the bare minimum of asking a few questions, you usually find someone that has an entire array of Faux News style talking points just aching to come out…

It describes them perfectly and simultaneously lampoons the bullshit narrative of a “center” in this country that the Democrats have, of course, drifted too far away from, because as everyone just knows, the Democrats are soooo extremist. So yeah, PEDOnald might be a pedo and a rapist and total con artist and have no idea how to do anything and is only out to enrich himself as he destroys the country, but the Democrats have the TRANS AGENDA and are aching to have doctors take away your son’s winky while he’s off at school!

This is banana republic type of bullshit.

But they don’t call them the Banana Republicans for nothing…
