ND64 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 His response was so professional that for a moment I thought its too good to be true. It like doing Jeremy Clarkson meme, "oh no... anyway". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members BTM_Pix Posted June 2 Super Members Share Posted June 2 It’s OK for them to call out Trump’s behaviour when it intersects with their interests though. https://www.nab.org/documents/newsroom/pressRelease.asp?id=4253 I suspect that they may be trying to hedge their bets in preparation in the event of his not completely unlikely WTF re-election in November. The NAB are fundamentally a lobbying group after all that, following their ability to host their cash cow show again after Covid, are now able to resume spending $12-16m a year greasing both sides of the aisle. https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/national-assn-of-broadcasters/summary?id=D000000202 Andrew Reid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debates seem horribly skewed to hurt Biden. Americans mostly have the memory of gerbils, and many (key being voters in swing states) are looking at increased cost of living and telling themselves it was better under the orange con man. newfoundmass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where da fuck is my flying car?

To be fair, it's not like the professional politicians were providing that much competition in the relatability department!

I don't think this sloppy, metastatic tumor mafia don could have gone as long & created as much political space & havoc as he has, without an already-existing popular collapse in trust of America's institutions by regular people. The Democrats are offering a sundowning, uninspiring man who can't be counted on to remember why he's in the room he's in as the alternative to what they themselves characterize as a threat to democracy. They will blame everyone but themselves if Trump wins again, starting with young people appalled at what is happening to Gazans and social media misinformation (China & Russia). NAB's preparing to launder anything and anyone the two parties put up as legitimate - they are in no way an outsider to what you will see generally should a very plausible scenario like Trump winning (electoral college being the minimum barrier, not popular vote) in November.

I saw a presentation from someone who was following his campaign from the start and they said he just said random things in his early speeches and kept repeating the things that got the biggest response from the crowd, so his entire campaign was just telling people what they wanted to hear. Sad thing is, it worked. I'm a huge fan of democracy.... the thing that lets it down is the voting public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 It boggles my mind that from a population of 333 million, those 2 are the ‘best’ options. I know, I know, there is more to it than that and ultimately it all comes down to how much you got and who’s backing you etc, combined with just how many skeletons you have in that back closet, but faaaaaark, to the rest of the World (and a massive chunk of the US), as above, boggles the mind! zerocool22 and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
