Dumbass.

Considering it's Texas, I'm surprised they didn't give him a medal. Oh, wait, he's black, that explains it.

Good thing the world didn't lose anything valuable.

Bummer

Yeah, irony is lost on children so once a slang word that relies on being ironic starts being used by children it is pretty much dead.

I dont mind new slang if it can be understood from context. When people started using Yeet it was pretty clear what it meant.

In the other hand my kids friends started saying everything was "so sigma" and it was clear that they didn't know what it actually meant. Even when I looked on urban dictionary, I still couldn't figure out what the definition was based on how it was being used.

Depends on how complex it is. Ever see the XML behind SharePoint? 🤮

Can someone do a quick ELI5 on who the bad guys are here? So much crazy shit going on all over the world I'm having trouble keeping up with who the fascists are.

Bummer they got out of the Olde Waste Paper business, I really needed some olde waste paper.

The buttercream gang.

Awh. Anyway...

I use white electrical tape. It drastically reduces the light brightness but allows enough though to know the light is on.

A lot yes, but my parents are very religious, anti-abortion, anti-gay, but vote blue because they still believe that the important thing is to treat people right. Their belief is that God should be the judge of others actions not them.

Thank you for being more articulate in your explanation of the age issue than I was. I agree whole heartedly. 64-65 is retirement age, I like to see presidents that are experienced but not at what would normally be the end of their working years.

Personally, I'd like to see a max cap for ALL elected officials at 70.

Funny, we said that the first time too. And the second.

Insulting somebody because of their race is never OK. There of plenty of other things to insult this piece of shit for instead of race.

Old, yes, they are both old. Not elderly, but old. The minimum age for a present is 35. I would very much like to start seeing younger presidents that will be more in touch with what current issues really are and can energize a younger generation of voters.

And yes that was exactly my point on having a white man as an anchor.

What to do when tribbles get out of hand.

It is obviously a cycle we need to break. That said, a campaign has to make choices that lead to victory. Kamala is already a person of color and a woman. If she wins, it would be only the second time to have a non-white President and the first woman.

The fact is that while many us are hungry for change to the old norms, many will be more conservative to change (and I don't mean in the crazy MAGA way). Having an old white guy on the ticket acts as an anchor for those who are too scared to fully jump into all out change, ensuring that those votes aren't lost to the other side.
