The 2024 U.S. Presidential race

This morning, when I went online to catch up on replies, my comment had been removed by Reddit for inciting violence. lol

Tsunamis don't kill people. People with tsunamis kill people.

I'm shoehorning this post into this thread because it's tangentially related to the election. Yesterday I posted a very basic comment in a news sub: "I don't just want a win. I want Trump drowned by a blue tsunami."

If I expected fairness and intelligence from Reddit mods, I wouldn't be on Reddit.

I go back to 2016, I think, when I posted a meme on the timeless "Big Lie" quote of Joseph Goebbels compared to the current Big Liar. No mention of Trump, but the inference is clear. It was removed and I was given a few days' warning to cut it out.

History. Cut it out.

Just to quell any speculation, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I join Donald Trump on an electoral ticket. Our positions on certain fundamental issues, our approaches to governance, and our philosophies of leadership could not be further apart.

YEP.... the worst is when a post gets deleted for a stated reason that's just factually wrong and misreading what you said. For example, I once made a comment about "Edgy Jordan Peterson fans" on /r/atheism and a mod who clearly liked this non atheist gave me a temp ban for "calling atheists edgy" which was very clearly not what I said.

I'm baffled she's made such a long career out of LOSING. Like... I get how Trump has maintained his big lie a bit more than how she has. My vomit reaction was for her. A professional sore loser. She's a delusional narcissist in a way that makes most hated politicians seem very normal.

So, my Trumpette partner was watching RNC this morning and they were playing Foo Fighters' My Hero at the convention... Unironically?

Foo Fighters deny letting Donald Trump use their song at RFK Jr. rally

It is the second time this week—and the third time this month—that Trump's campaign has clashed with artists for using their music without permission.

Is your Trumpette partner a fan of The Pirate Bay?

Also, looking into it, McCain did the same with the same reaction. In reaction, Grohl'n all showed up to play it live at the DNC.
Oh, and from that article:

A spokesperson for the band told Billboard: "Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were, they would not have granted it." The spokesperson said that "appropriate actions are being taken" against the campaign and that any royalties received as a result of the usage of the song will be donated to the Harris/Walz campaign.

Nice =^-^=

You okay, Donald? You don't look well...

He definitely looks like he's on the verge of having a stroke. The stress of running against Kamala may very well kill him.

In some sort of synchronicity, Tidal had algorithm-drifted into Frank Zappa's "Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?" when I saw this.

I thought Biden looked so much better at the DNC on that first night. All he has to worry about now is running the damn country, instead of ALSO campaigning against an existential threat to our country.

Agreed. Biden looked like he's had a great weight lifted off his shoulders. I love him as president, but he needs time to enjoy retirement.

DESPERATE RACISM.

A prominent Republican group is citing one of the most reviled Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decisions in American history to justify its case that Vice President Kamala Harris should be deemed ineligible to run under the U.S. Constitution.

In an official resolution (on page 37 of the NFRA's platform document), the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) – a 90 year-old GOP-aligned organization that counted former President Ronald Reagan among its membership — took the position that Harris should not be allowed to hold the office of president, citing several "precedent-setting U.S. Supreme Court cases." Among the six cases the NFRA cited was the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision of 1857, which is regarded as one of the worst SCOTUS decisions of all time, if not the worst ever.

3/5th's of Kamala would still be infinitely preferable to 100% of that fucking other guy.
