Why? Can’t you just play music and sway back and forth during the interview?
lmao if he dies of old age 3 weeks before the election I’m gonna shit my pants
Zombie Trump
Crash and burn! Crash and burn!
I’m a lifelong fan of political dramas. I watched the BBC version of House of Cards and adored The Manchurian Candidate.
There’s stuff going on in this election that makes everything I ever read seem placid and tame.
That reference eludes me. If it’s from HOC, forgive me; haven’t watched either version in a while.
Republicans would vote for the corpse of Trump before even considering not making a terrible decision. I cannot believe that this election is this close. It’s mind boggling that the outcome is currently a toss up between Nazi spray tan confused grandpa and middle road politician.
The point isn’t to get Trump into the Whitehouse; it’s to get Vance into the whitehouse.
Trump will legitimately kick the bucket within the next four years, guaranteed. And Vance will be the one to take his place. Vance will be the one who is suddenly an “incumbant” backed by the heritage foundation who is actually reasonably well spoken, able to debate, far smarter than Trump, and younger.
Vance wasn’t “chosen” by Trump, he came as a part of the deal with the Heritage Foundation to get him elected.
My hope is that after Herr Trump finally croaks there will be a power vacuum in the party. Sure if he’s elected and it happens in office there will be an effort to consolidate around Vance, but you know some looked over pissant is waiting in the wings to try to take the reins. If he’s not elected it will likely be much more tumultuous. Here’s hoping.
Trump will legitimately kick the bucket within the next four years, guaranteed.
Putin is furiously trying to figure out how to put polonium into a Big Mac
There is no middle road politician running. Harris by all accounts is firmly right wing.
Bruh I know the Overton window in the US is megafucked but she’s literally one of our most liberal politicians by voting record, she is not “firmly right wing” by any reasonable standard
If by right wing you mean not strictly anti-capitalist, sure, at the end of the day shes not going to ovsrthrow capitalism. Still the policies and protections she wants to enact is the furthest left we’ve gone in multiple lifetimes. The last time we’ve had any kind of policy proposal like hers was likely FDR.
Do those accounts include the one where she just called for legalizing pot?
Or is that a Right position in your mind?
If you wrote this election into a political drama ten years ago, it’d get rejected as not believable.
True story I have told so many times…
Right after the 2016 election the NY Times assembled a panel of all the creators of the top TV political dramas. House of Cards, West Wing, Scandal, Veep…
Every creator said the same thing. If they’d had a character say that they “liked soldiers who didn’t get captured” the networks and advertisers would have demanded that character be shown as hated by all Americans and voted out by the next episode.
Meanwhile you have MAGooswho also fly the black POW/MIA flag next to their Trump flag
I was against Biden stepping down because I figured there’d be a stampede of Dems fighting for the nomination.
I never dreamed they’d all line up behind the Black woman who didn’t win any primaries.
Like you said, reality does what it wants and pays no attention to the script.
Really good breakdown of how the show used camera movement to tell the story.
Didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I did.
Let me know what you think, okay?
lol! Yes, yes I have.
I’ll see and raise you. “The Porkchoppers” and “The Fools In Town Are On Our Side,” both by Ross Thomas.
Thomas was a Washington reporter turned crime novelist. The first book is about a Union election and the second is about an attempt to clean up a small Southern city by making the corruption so bad that even the pimps will vote for reform.
