Worse ideology-wise and intellectually more dangerous, yes. But none of them can win a presidency.

Beijing (2022) and Sochi (2014 - Putin invaded Ukraine/Crimea during the games) are examples of how the IOC governance prioritizes revenues over political stability, safety and humanity. Trump will make sure the games are held, at all cost.

And you can add Trump's interior redesign : add another... $20-30M ? The bestest part : when it is finally ready, it'll go straight to Trump, after he's out of office. A $700M+ gift from Qatar and US taxpayers. 2/2

Qatar's been trying to sell it [get rid of it] for years. So now they get to unload it AND get favors from the US. Best part is, this jet will likely not see Air Force One duty, ever. The military conversion is apparently going to take years to achieve, not months, at roughly $300M. 1/2

Is Subaru the first Japanese automaker to announce such a thing ? If so, we can expect Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan to follow...

I used to enjoy his tough approach on media issues, but then he got fired when CNN veered to the right. He went hungry (litterally, he had only small freelance jobs) and that changed him, I think. He then proposed himself as Fox-ready, but they totally ignored him. CNN gave him a new shot, sadly.

Stelter is a small , irrelevant opportunist. Remember Lindy Li ? Same mold. Stelter was in early with the 'out Biden' bunch after the debate. He screamed that Biden hadn't endorsed Harris' nomination only minutes after the announcement. Piece of garbage.

Are we shocked ? Maga playbook over, and over, and over again. Deflect blame (always) and pin it on the Dems. Maga base is stupid enough to buy it.

So that's not fake ?? That bottom feeder really said that ? The only 'stage 5 cancer' relates to kidney cancer, not prostate cancer you moron. And yeah, Dr. Biden is not a medical doctor you idiot. Prostate cancer is often diagnosed in advanced stage because symptoms are very discrete, you imbecile.

@CNN still has a story on their website (main page) as we speak : ''Audio released of Biden interview with special counsel who described him as an ‘elderly man with a poor memory’''. Fuck you, CNN.

... because that's who CNN are now. Trump side knew Joe would prepare for a classic debate, hoping Trump would engage, but he never did, he just spewed lies with an angry posture and Biden's game plan crumbled under pressure. His prep should've been focused on his economic strenghts, I think.

It's pretty simple, to me anyway. What else were they going to call it, if not a 'debate' ? I know it wasn't one, but they have always been called that (the format). Now... why did it turn into a horror movie ? CNN (with Tapper and Bash) had no intention of fact checking Trump... 1/2
comment in response to
post
I said 'debate' because that's what it was called. We all know the rest. It never should have taken place, especially with CNN involved. Everybody knew Trump would go in there lying, unchecked, adn that made prep work super hard / impossible for Biden.

That's about the size of it. Some older people can function at a high level longer, some not, with 'normal aging'. When you have a guy 80+ running a country (he actually did run it) and running a campaign against fascism, the risks of hiccups are high. Overpreparing for a debate didn't help, either.

... but very likely sporadic events caused by age combined with enormous stress and fatigue. Examples ? The Clooney event and the debate : both extremely busy periods with trips and huge stress. He recovered from those 'states'. 2/2

There are many forms of cognitive decline, and age is likely the most common (natural degeneration), and then you have the 'dementia' realm : most known is Alzheimer's, there is also Lewy body, vascular, alcohol-related, frontotemporal, etc... Not sure what the diagnosis is for Joe 1/2

Shocking part is people would vote for that for... $100. JFC. It's going to take more than 'fixing' folks, more like a complete american reboot.

''Groceries'' has become a bad word because prices are only going up under his regime, so let's find a complex word so people stop talking about them, stop making him look bad. Same as when he said they should stop reporting Covid cases in 2020 : no reports = no Covid (duh) = no bad press for him.

What's funny is that Grok, Musk's AI chatbot, is contradicting Trump there by admitting there is no white farmer genocide in South Africa, that voilence does exist but it's across all races. Or I missed something ;)

Kids birthdays are a lot of work. Try and get someone to help with planning and prep. Influenza is a monster with tiredness that can linger for weeks. Hang in there.

3) It won't cost millions if he doesn't get it because he will use the 2 existing (VC-25As) until the 25Bs are ready. It will cost somewhere around $300M to upgrade the Qatar jet. 3/3

1) It will take years to upgrade this jet, not months, according to what a very plausible article I read a few days ago. Not only upgrades are needed, but a FULL sweep for... anything.
2) IT IS A GIFT TO TRUMP. If not, make him sign a contract that he will 'museum it' when he leaves office. 1/3
