Dude, Trump is gonna win, croak in year one, and Vance will be president...

God that's gonna be annoying. Not even a little bit funny.

...is Pocahontas rated low in America? Seems to me she's kind of a folk hero.

edit: oh wait was he talking about hisssssss ? lmao

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 3 points 1 hour ago

I had forgotten completely.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 21 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Imagine how atrociously horrible a candidate you have to be to be polling even with this guy.

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 6 points 1 hour ago

It’s historically bad every election. Instead of “most important election of our lifetime,” they should be selling “the last opportunity to vote for someone this good.” Because we know it will get worse.

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago

The candidates are figureheads for the schism in the American bourgeois, it could literally just be the color red vs blue and nothing would be different

Remember after the debate when Biden was being obstinate about dropping out and he made appearances wearing a lot of bronzer and it looked like he was turning into Trump? And now Trump is turning into Biden. It's like...IDK like Bergman's Persona or Villeneuve's Enemy or something.

Biden: "This painting is one of a kind?"

Artist: "Of course it's one of a kind! What kind of man do you think I am?"

Later

Trump: "This painting is one of a kind?"

Artist: "Of course it's one of a kind! What kind of man do you think I am?"

The artist is a vampire who painted The Picture of Dorian Gray.

For a moment I thought the Net Gods were angry with me. I'm on PC and the power went out for half a second. It was short enough that Windows kept running. This is the first time it ever happened liked this. Usually it's ~3 seconds so Windows reboots.

Kamala weak puny Marxist bad brain but me Trump very, very good brain n very good genes thoroughbred genes so strong and powerful - strong and powerful - strong and powerful - strong and powerful - strong and— Fatal runtime error in Trump Gold O/S 0.7 beta. Rebooting.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The famous Marxist, Pocahontas.

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I think he's referring to Liz Warren.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm well aware of that lol

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 1 points 14 minutes ago

It's hard to tell with Sundown: The Sequel.

New lathe curse: Republicans pressure Donald Trump to step down as the candidate so they can run Kamala Harris. Vance and Walz are either co-vice presidents or merge into one being, Joy D Walz.

I remember when the Howard Dean scream was echoed around corpo media enough to sink a campaign.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 8 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I was there Gandalf

Although the reality of the Howard Dean scream, is that the media all fucking hated him. They ran with the story, because they couldn't stand him. If Kerry had done that in 04 it wouldn't have ended his campaign

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Tells you how the party operated back then more than anything. It's not like the electorate really cared, they were just told they cared and that it should kill his campaign and they were like, "yes thank you DNC that is true".

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago

so accurate

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 30 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

At every rally I wonder how many Howard Dean screams Trump would have to do for him to drop in the polls. A dozen each time?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 23 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I think the Dean screams would only excite his cult more. They'd be high energy, at least.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 8 hours ago

*HIGH* ENERGY TRUMP SCREAMS OWN LIBS.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 42 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

lmao, what layer of hell is this?

We're just a bit under the skin. It's like an onion.

@EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net what I say. We already there i-cant

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 41 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

I'm guessing Pocahontas is a reference to warren-medusa because otherwise he's way further gone than everyone thinks he is. Also Warren hasn't been all that relelavant in a while, so I'm not sure most of the people he was talking to there would have gotten the reference anyway.

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's because his idea of the farthest left people to compare to are Sanders and Warren yeah.

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 5 points 6 hours ago

Warren wishes she was as far left as Kommiela

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 26 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The stairwell going up to Trump's mindpalace is twisted and broken, day you tread on it mortal?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 20 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You need to use magic to reach its higher levels, sort of like a Telvanni mushroom tower.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 11 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (2 children)

Folks, the looney left don't want you to know this they...folks, they hate it but I've glimpsed the Wheel from its side! Nobody's CHIM'd like I have. Kooky Kamalmalexia and socialist Sotha Sanders can't stand it but we're gonna build a big beautiful ghostfence, and House Dagoth is gonna pay for it.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago

Kooky Kamalmalexia and socialist Sotha Sanders

Welcome Nerevar, to this beautiful place. Everybody's saying it's where destiny is made. It's where destiny is made, folks. Believe it. Don't bring the false Sunder, that fake Sunder that's disgraceful, okay? Come to Donald J Trump openly, and not by stealth. We will speak for the law and the land and you will say "sir, sir, this is how I honor the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned," and you will shed beautiful tears. trump-enlightened

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 20 points 9 hours ago

He is still relitigating the 2020 primaries, just like the Bernie bros. True horseshoe theory.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 27 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

"And so Biden, get a load of this, Biden got his brain repaired, it's true! The president getting his brain fixed on YOUR tax dollars. But not me, oh no, I have good brain. Brain better than Pocahontas, who hated Bernie Sanders by the way. Is someone making toast? Going back to Mexico I saw a lot of dinosaurs near that plant. We tried to ride one of them but it objected, very rudely, it said "get off me!" must have been a brontosaurus." a-little-trolling

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 33 minutes ago

"People tell me, when I'm spouting off ideas, they tell me - Mr Trump, you give very good brain" - trump-feed

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 24 points 9 hours ago

The oval office requires a lich near death as they are easier to inhabit and control, therefore Trump will win

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 13 points 8 hours ago

Bit idea

At a rally Trump starts with a complaint.

"A radical left Marxist Youtube video Trump. Made fun of Trump. Many hours minutes long. Very long. It was wrong. Very wrong. Redub now."

Rebut? Probably. And he proceeds to speak near gibberish in a six hour jeremiad on sharks, toilets, "windmills" and many of his other greatest hits. At his lowest point he rants angrily for ~30 minutes on "new tv fried chicken" and how "old was better but not better". He gets so worked up - he doesn't say a single additional word about the video or even Marxism itself.

We spend hours looking for the video with no luck. Finally somebody says that maybe Trump's broken brain made the whole thing up.

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 10 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

the nyt is an awful genocidal rag, but I have to admit that the comedic timing of the last couple lines is pretty good

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 7 hours ago

I entirely agree.

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 6 points 7 hours ago

They've got some decent writers when they aren't using 90% of their brainpower to write about mysterious airstrikes in Gaza

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 16 points 9 hours ago

We might actually get a president more demented and incoherent than either Biden or Reagan. I love imperial decline. It's amazing the US tried to own the USSR over their measly and pathetic attempts at gerontocracy.

Rambling Grandpa is my favorite

Anyway, long story short...is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

Is this from old age or whatever drug they're pumping him full of?

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 26 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

There’s some heavy duty “older relative calling you to go on aimlessly for forty minutes on several different topics you can’t keep track of but you’re pretty sure they’re being racist” vibes here.

[–] OperationOgre@hexbear.net 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I remember when my grandma started going senile she would accuse certain people of being "dancers" which felt like a racist insinuation wrapped in several layers of innuendo
