The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Old man yells at cloud, presidential edition.

Buttigieg is her sparring partner. Idk if that’s a clue to their strategy. You’re probably right that they want the bully narrative to continue but I hope she gets in some hard punches. I’m sick of seeing him get away with his smug sycophantic lies.

On the other hand, Pence may overextend himself throwing haymakers due to the state of the race, and he could do about as much damage to their ticket as a VP debate possibly can.

As much as we’d all love to see her delivering sharp attacks about his Handmaid’s Tale fantasies for America, his fundamentalist views, his robotic lameness, and being there world’s most pathetic lapdog, I think her best strategy is to stay in the right hand lane at 55mph and mostly limit attacks to his disastrous record on matters of public health.

I think he’s probably more familiar with Pence than anyone else and can thus do the best job of predicting where he’d go in different situations. I suspect that Pete will have correctly guessed almost word for word some of the lines of attack Pence will use.

I think they’ll be limited to opening salvos that are scripted and traps they set that he walks into. I think if he opens himself up to something on the fly she’ll be coached to pass, but I wouldn’t be shocked if she can’t resist because she’s damn good at this.

“Stand strongly “? What does that mean? A dog whistle to the Proud Boys? Make leftists overreact trying to parse it? Mussolini reference? Donnie’s a good boy that can drink water with one hand and stand strongly? Nice to see most of the commenters were excoriating her.

I don’t get the brokeness. Why can’t Putin funnel funds in via some dodgy businessman?

Probably because Agent Orange has served his purpose and is being decommissioned.

It’s fucking amazing how hot Trump runs.

Maybe the evangelists are right and God really is a hateful bigot and is doing everything in his power to help Trump win, and despite gods personal intervention Trump keeps stepping on his own dick.

Based on nothing other than how hot he runs, i’m going to predict he’s just fine from here on out in regards to covid.

Strategically this is probably good for us though. Him dying was a massive amount of variance, him coming out of it fine because of his elite treatment and downplaying it and saying its NBD is going to play terribly with the olds who have already been defecting.

If they are right (I know you’re kidding) it’s because the earth belongs to the devil and we are all here to suffer.

Coming from an irreligious country I’ll happily show deference to your greater knowledge of Christianity.

That is clearly pain and stress in his face. Many twitter docs talking about auxiliary muscles. Way to go @CaffeineNeeded

Hasn’t she talked about emancipation?

Actually she seems perfectly rational but living in a perfectly fucked house. Her parents gaslight her on a daily basis. It’s her way of fighting back. Either that or all three of them are gaslighting us.

I want every hatch violation to be prosecuted by the next AG. Every single one for every single government employee. Make their lives miserable.
