And if he wins, it will just be more of the same forever.

And whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.

Oh very interesting choice of contrasting meal. It isn't contrasting Trump, who famously likes his hamberders, so I wonder what it is meant to contrast.

Folks in power are finding out the hard way that Donald can't be everyone's useful idiot at once.

Its the free market at work.

Wait what

Amen. She has more paths to victory than Biden, for sure, but this one is going be a squeaker no matter what.

It doesn't matter. They are all gas no brakes at this point and will triple down. I've already seen another article where Vance has tweaked it so now it's HIV instead of eating pets.

This contraction to the very hard core of MAGA is probably going to accelerate in the coming weeks, and we're going to see how many craven Republicans have the stomach for a full mask off MAGA campaign.

His only play at this point is to separate wheat from chaff and prepare to raise hell with state election officials in his pocket while stochastic terrorism increases up to and after election day.

And that's assuming he loses because, whoopsie, electoral college means this thing is going to he a nail-biter even if he were to cross the N-word rubicon.

Disagree. This needs to be the story. This needs to be even more the story than it is now.

Damn.

Yeah I figured as much. I'm viewing this on sync for android.

Weird, spoiler tag didn't work for me.

Couldn't happen to a nicer goblin.

I feel so validated.

I understand the photo to be real, and it's bad. I would say in fairness she doesn't always look quite so much like Majora's Mask as she does in this photo but yeah it's an atrocity and so is she.

Well and you have partition and reunification as well, which must play into it. Postwar Germany seems to have been partially defined by a series of unique and almost absurd culture shocks as Germany encountered successively different versions of itself.

I hope this discussion doesn't offend the Germans among us. My interest is earnest and genuine, and as an American in 2024, more than simply academic.

Honestly, as a cope, I find this infinitely INFINITELY more satisfying than the "3 on 1 debate" weak sauce.

Oh yeah. That was a very nice choice of words.

Yeah but I think I'm okay with Germany's stance on it, as I understand it at least.

It isn't avoidance or denial, it seems to me, as much as total repudiation.

It strikes me as an appropriate response for a nation that is host to such an abomination, and worthy of emulation by any other nation that should ahem manage to make any similar mistakes.

She had so many good lines, clearly well prepped and practiced, and deployed flawlessly at just the right time.

And the way she looked at him, pointed at him, and the tone she used on him...we aren't talking about this enough yet: she made the supposed strongman look so dopey and small. Like a cuck.

It is interesting to experience my own increasing openness to this kind of humor as time passes.

For context, I'm an American, I was an adult when this happened, and have worked for one of the involved airlines since before the attacks, but was nowhere near NYC and didn't know anyone directly impacted.

But even still, probably 5 years ago I'd have been a little skeeved out my this. Now I chuckle.

Just interesting.
