It's not that anything happened, he was always cringe and they are just roasting him for his cringyness.

Or LineageOS, apparently...

Hahaha probably

The guy was always something as a meme, people didn't take him seriously and after awhile he stopped taking himself seriously too (thankfully).

Probably one of the most popular rap songs of the "mumble rap" era. It also inspired that "Tucci Gang" sketch on SNL, if you've ever seen that one:

He's the dude who made Gucci Gang

LOL

Yeah the professor of Pump University isn't exactly Trump's strongest soldier

*anti-republican assassination attempts

Jill Stein on the Breakfast Club? Sounds like a must watch. I'm surprised she hasn't made more appearances like this.

A couple of them I didn't like, the big one being where David Muir debated Trump about the 2020 election cases and Trump actually ended up fact checking David on that, he had no rebuttal (although Trump doesn't seem to understand exactly what it means to "have standing").

But it's less about the fact checks and more about the fact that they chose to only fact check one person's lies. Kamala Harris lied through her teeth during the debate and nobody fact checked her. I personally would prefer to not have fact checks in these debates at all, as the debates are only supposed to be between two people. But if there are going to be fact checks, those should be applied to both candidates.

Nah but seriously though I was just plain wrong, Kamala had agreed to the ABC News debate at the same time that she decline the other two invitations. I edited my comment to reflect that

I'm just stupid

Yeah that's fair, and I do think the bill would have been a step in the right direction. I don't like absolutist advocacy, I see this in the pro life movement also. If I was in Congress I would have voted for this bill even though I'm a Republican.

Obviously Kamala would not want to have the debate run by a company heavily biased towards her opponent.

So now you see why Trump didn't want to do the ABC debate

If you meant border security, then why did he help kill a bill that would have fixed many of the things he’s complaining about?

What most Republicans took issue with the bill was that it actually somewhat ties the president's hands and limits how long the border can be shut down:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/new-immigration-asylum-reform-bill-released-senate-text-rcna136602

The bill includes a new emergency authority that would allow the Department of Homeland Security to, as Biden has put it, “shut down” the border if there are too many migrants trying to cross.

DHS could close the border if Border Patrol encountered 4,000 or more migrants on average over seven days. The border would have to be shut down if those encounters reached a seven-day average of 5,000 or if they exceeded 8,500 in a single day.

The border couldn’t be shut down under this authority for more than 270 days in the first year. And the bill would give the president the power to suspend a border closure “on an emergency basis for up to 45 days if it is in the national interest.”

During an emergency closure, Border Patrol would still need to process a minimum of 1,400 migrants who try to enter the U.S. legally through ports of entry. Only unaccompanied minors would be able to cross between ports of entry. And any migrant who tried to cross illegally two or more times during a border emergency would be barred from the U.S. for a year.

Back when she refused to do the Fox News debate

I definitely get that position and understand why trans people would vote against Trump, especially since a lot of people in Trump's cabinet and inner circle support or have worked on Project 2025. I have a trans friend myself who will be voting for Kamala.

I agree with you on Trump's rhetoric as well, I'm almost 100% an issues and policy voter though and try to ignore the rhetoric. If rhetoric factored into my decision I probably wouldn't be voting for him, I pretty much loathe how Trump has carried himself on Truth Social for most of the campaign. I don't think that that'll affect how he runs the country though, as he was saying similarly vindictive things when running in 2016 like talking about putting Hillary Clinton in jail or opening up the libel laws to go after MSM outlets that lied about him and none of that ever happened.

Where was this energy when Kamala was acting like she didn't want to do any debates at all? Smh

I'm not saying Trump isn't cowardly for this, because he is. But anyone clowning on Kamala for not wanting to debate but not Trump doesn't actually have a problem with debate dodging.

Edit: My b, I misrepresented her position at the time. She didn't want to do two of the three proposed debates at the time but accepted ABC News' invitation

I think we'd see an ease in tensions in certain parts of the world, especially in Israel and Palestine. Trump can't end the Israel-Hamas War, but he'd probably push to limit funding to Iran like he did before, limiting their ability to fund Hamas' and Hezbollah's activities. He'd also probably pressure countries to stop sending as many migrants into America.

If that's what I wanted I'd be advocating for expanding the NIH and giving it more money.

Mostly the economy, foreign affairs, and national security.

I agree. Trump did a townhall when Harris didn't show up to the first proposed the debate, she should do a townhall to replace the next one if Trump ultimately does not show. It'd be a great way to quell complaints that she is afraid of speaking to the media or press as well.

Smart. I'm voting for the guy but he's doing worse and worse in each debate.

Good. I'm a right winger but don't like DeSantis' approach to fighting the culture war, and it doesn't seem like he's done enough to fight the rising cost of living in Florida either.

Haha I gotchu. What service do you use? I didn't know there was a free instance hosting service.

I agree but what the heck is your username and instance domain dawg? Out here lookin' like a generated 25 character password lol

P.S. to the mods I ain't tryna be mean or troll or anything, just pointing out that the username and instance domain looks pretty weird.

My issue with this take is that this is a journalist providing political analysis. I'm not sure why political analysis shouldn't be considered news to some degree. There was a similar article posted here about a pollster saying support for Trump has dried up: https://lemmy.world/post/19677605, and there are a bunch of articles here about celebrity support for Harris. I think Dana Bash saying something about Kamala Harris is equally newsworthy.

Are you mad that Dana said this? Or that Fox News mentioned that she said this? It's hard to tell what your critique of the article is.

I think most people want the candidates they vote for to enact the same policies that they run for. Ain't nobody voting for somebody going like "I'm voting for this guy based on what he says about foreign affairs, I really hope he changes his mind when he's in office".

Not like changing your position or your mind or your policies aren't entirely unreasonable. Trump never got us out of Afghanistan, and Biden never got rid of cancer. However, you shouldn't make promises you can't keep. Making contradictory promises over the past five or ten years merits negative marks in that department.

7Up launching a new ad campaign and refreshing their brand isn't business news?

Well...most EA games you quite even before the support ends. But not this one lol

I'd have lobbied for us to do an offline dynasty if I wasn't going to be moving out in a year or two.

You're welcome!

The Thermos!

I'd say "based" but he'll just have everyone sign the same dang bill after the government's been shut down for a week.

This dude hasn't delivered on a single promise he made to get this position.

For me it's literally just EA Sports College Football 25. I'll be playing it for years (my brothers and dad have a family tradition of playing a college football dynasty mode together every year) so that makes a console worth it for me...probably not the PS5 Pro though.

Don't you dare buy this dip, don't even think about it

That's actually below market value for an external 4K UHD drive.

The PS5 is good enough if you can afford one

I'm pretty sure that would run you about the same as the external component, so there's no benefit to going with a third-party accessory

Better than a PS5 Pro? Bruh 😂
