Read what I said again. SkyBrickey was saying that Loomer + Trump is good for the Harris campaign. I agree it is. However, at the same time it is potentially even worse for America should Trump win. It's like playing with fire at a gas station. Nothing you typed up is actually wrong. I agree completely. Just talking here, if I had a choice of Trump + Loomer winning or Trump - Loomer winning, I would take the "- Loomer" every day of the week and I think wanting Trump + Loomer just to get an electoral edge is a wish too far.
Yet I would contend "Trump + Loomer winning or Trump - Loomer winning" will have exactly the same result. It's not like Loomer is the only crazy in Trump's orbit that attracts his very worst instincts. Just as an example, guys like Bill Ackman and Elon have also done their share of damaging fear mongering and promotion of extremism and will have an enormous influence over Trump's "policy" if he were to attain office.
 
With all due respect to the youngsters, they are projecting. She paused because she was about to say "this President", but she didn't want to dignify him that much. The pause was so she could add "former" before it.

I know, "OK, Boomer." Far be it for me to remind anyone that she a Boomer, too.

I turned to my wife and said she stopped herself from saying I really thought I could beat the Wankerizer. I'm a real wanker for saying this.H0le.

I don't generally use the term MF

Technically, She and I are both Generation Jones (Obama also). Boomers are way older!

Fair enough.
 
If geese don't migrate like they used to (which I have doubts about), it is solely because of humans. And if they had suffrage, they couldn't do much worse than humans.
Well, of course, humans are the problem. We’re the cause of basically every problem on the planet, particularly in regard to how we’re systematically destroying the environment — which will eventually make the Earth uninhabitable for all living things.

There are 8.2 BILLION of us planet-destroying vermin now, but I’m not going to volunteer to make it one fewer. I guess I’m selfish that way. 🤷‍♂️
 
Wait a second. Why can't one care about electing Harris and care about the future of the country?

Trump feels the way he feels and will say the things he says. The presence of someone like Loomer on his campaign jet is just taking off the mask. It's like him breaking the third wall and saying directly to America "Yes, this is actually who I am" after he makes a gross racist remark at a rally or takes a 9/11 conspiracy theorist to a 9/11 commemoration event. If we're going to march ourselves into the sort of white nationalist authoritarianism Trump is now offering, I'd prefer we not do it sleepwalking but make a conscious choice.

I think if there were a broader, unpublished conspiracy related to 9/11, Trump would have already spilled the beans. What better way to "drain the swamp" than to announce to the world how he alone can clear out all the corruption.

Could the "truth" have been kept from him while he was president?
 
Hmm, I don’t believe that’s the main concern (sharing the planet with wildlife). I think it’s mainly about wishing these geese would migrate like they used to.

One day they all got together, took a vote, and decided not to migrate anymore. And now they live primarily in warm weather states adjacent to Walmart and McDonald’s parking lots.

It’s all very strange. 🤷‍♂️

Have they completely abandoned golf courses? I don't play anymore, but that's where I first encountered this scourge. When did they start hanging at fast food restaurants?
 
Can't recall if I saw it here or elsewhere yesterday, but are Trump and Vance aware of the fact that there are close to 600,000 Haitian-Americans in Florida? Seems like kind of a risky electoral move to put so many chips on demonizing Haitian immigrants just to shore up the vote in Arizona, or whatever it is they think they're accomplishing by going all-in on the race baiting anti-immigrant thing.

Along these lines, another brilliant tie in from the debate was when Harris did the Polish-American tie-in and callout to 800,000 living in Pennsylvania:

Me too. I'm also a proud childless cat man, so I didn't add to the problem. I have added to other problems though. Speaking of childlessness:

Yes, I remember having a reaction to this. I thought it was a great tie-in as well.

However, the biggest thing I actually learned from the debate is that Kamala is strapped!

No, they still love golf courses. I’ve just noticed that here in Chapel Hill and Durham I see them a lot around a particular McDonald’s in Durham near Fayetteville Rd and 54, and also near the Walmart in Chapel Hill on Mt. Moriah Rd and the Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd (aka 15-501) where they have water retention ponds close by. That’s why they’re in those areas.

Even these non-migratory geese need a ready source of water. 💧

Agreed. Loomer is just the latest crazy he is surrounding himself with. It will keep happening, because well, it's happened for the last nine years. This notion that we should fear for America because she is in his ear- well of course we should . But there have been tons of similar examples in this whole saga, so why are we surprised? This is who the man is.

They have not. I learned this year that they only graze on shorten grass. If the lawn is more than 1.5"-2.0" they stay away.
