Who should be Harris' VP

[N35t0r]

Yeah. It's respectable that he quit alcohol, not that he had a DUI.

It's also funny that Republicans, whose presidential candidate is an actual convicted felon, think this is an avenue to pursue.

[Lorizael]

Yeah, but those are fake felonies using laws that only apply to people who've done the bad thing specified by the law.

[WigIaf]

I don't like how democrats pick people that fit into a meme of idealism of character type

"big dad energy"

yuck

one of the "charges" against trump was the notion that he inflated his personal net worth against the sacred American rule of law, that does no wrong

the man has a brand going back decades that means Billionaire and was America's Sweetheart on NBC (the liberal media)

prosecutors did a very poor job of not campaigning against him instead of just prosecuting him

[Lorizael]

The inflating his net worth bit was for a civil judgment against him, not his felony convictions. But the argument there was his inflated worth got him lower interest rates than he deserved, which defrauded the banks (and down the line, those banks' customers) he was doing business with. Trump's obviously been been a shady businessman for decades. I don't have the expertise to say whether his practices were shady enough for liability in any particular instance, but a court thought so.

it was a weak and heavily partisan prosecution that accomplished didley ****

I think pushing the arms embargo is great politics because she won't ever do it because she doesn't believe in letting Jews die

and then the process gets gunked up by the vitriol of protestors shouting antisemitic slogans

perf.

He just has a state pension because he was a teacher. Most of those invest in stocks/bonds.

Only ~20% of USians own stocks directly. Another ~40% have retirement investments (since there's no universal pension system in the US).

democrats are a looney party obsessed with weird identity politics

i'm not voting specifically because of stupid **** like this

[-Jrabbit]

So you got up on your soapbox to tell us you're not participating in the election?
Also, I would argue that the GOP "anti-woke culture wars" approach is every bit as craptastic as DEM "identity politics". Both are mostly convenient ways to sidestep any discussion of actual policy issues by substituting mindless demonization of the other side.

Good for you, go stick it to the man!

You could vote for Mr. dead bear cub brainworm guy, it'd be in-character.

MSM sez Trump invoked the mighty "nazicommie" approach towards Harris:

But the former president quickly broke away from the prepared speech about economic issues to launch personal attacks on Harris including accusations that her agenda is both communist and fascist, and that she has “the laugh of a crazy person”.

snipsnapped from: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...sylvania-rally

I guess he could live with the former, but on top of that he doesn't like the way she laughs

Seems to be his red line when it comes to the presidency ...
