does Twitter try to autocorrect misspelled words? Wonder how long it took him (or whoever typed it) to get it to stay as Slopadopalous lol

 

Not to get ahead of ourselves here, but I’m amusing and confusing myself with the logistics and visual of her swearing in ceremony where the new president/VP shake hands with the old president/VP. Does she stand in the middle? Does she shake her own hand?

 

Republicans already going hard into “she wasn’t voted, this is rigging” strategy.

 

that's pretty crazy

 

That they weren't ready for this is both unbelievable and encouraging to me. They've had at minimum 3 weeks to prepare and the best line of attack they have out of the gate is she wants to ban plastic straws?!

 

Since I’m sure there’s a reason I just don’t know about, can someone tell me why Ro Khanna is not part of the replacement conversation and someone to be excited about?

 

There are a ton of reasons Ro Khanna is not talked about for VP. Number one, he's from California. Number 2, they're going to want a traditional white male on the ticket. It's not right, but it is what it is. You play to win the game. 3, no one knows who he is.

You're just better off with a midwest white male to spell a california minority. Let's just hope it's someone more excited that Tim Keane or whatever his name was.

I was blunt about it, but again, you play to win the game. 0 chance he's on the ticket.

 

I was more thinking within the context of our forum conversations as someone who would be preferred - it’s not a name that comes up often, even in general conversation. I assumed it was because there were concerns with his voting history/comments/etc that prevented him from being liked as far as dem reps go.

 

lol they’re doing birtherism again

 

“Last Week Tonight” had to open with a chyron saying that it taped yesterday. So obvs no mention of Biden dropping out.

 

Sitting Dem President drops out of the race
VP takes over as nominee
Republican nominee who lost the last time he ran
DNC in Chicago
Ongoing fucked up foreign conflict that is almost definitely going to draw lots of protestors

The ghost of ‘68 rises again. Trump is gonna win

 

This is so dumb.

 

No actually, you’re dumb

 

don’t make me tap the sign (I can’t find the sign)

 

@sophos34 i don’t know where your post went but I’m guessing 23 in honor of Michael jordan

 

tap

 

I deleted because no one cares but my estimate is between 30-40 if you include cars he bought for his kids and wife

 

Ok this is the part that is wild to me
