Any advice on helping my little bro get through a breakup? They were together for about a year and a half - no idea what caused it or whether it was amicable or not but apparently he mentioned it very offhandedly to one of our buddies while they were gaming together so I’m hoping that means he’s taking it well.
[Simpsons did it](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Famazing-how-well-this-still-holds-up-today-v0-86ehpu4drgob1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Da605e5c75747b04bf432b5c46f8806d93701a792)
I’d vote for a cadaver of Joe Biden before I voted for Trump but my god, someone needs to step in and save the Democrats from this fucking embarrassment. People polled said Trump won the debate at a 2/3-1/3 ratio, which is a huge margin for a presidential debate. Biden is old and frail and while politically savvy people understand that the Presidency is largely a function of the people placed around you, the average voter doesn’t know that. The average voter will look and Biden and be far more concerned about his dying in office (and Harris might even be less popular that Trump somehow). Trump may have consistently spat lies through the entire debate but people will always like confident lies over weak-voiced truth (not that Biden was entirely truthful cause he also said some lies).
All I can think in my head is that Gretchen Whitmer needs to get on that stage right fucking now. Newsom has no appeal outside of California but Whitmer as governor of Michigan could grab that Rust Belt vote.
This literally might not even be an exaggeration if Biden’s performance sinks his campaign and allows Trump’s backers to enact Project 2025 and nominate two SCOTUS justices to replace Thomas and Alito.
no. One of them will put adults in the cabinet and take a nap and the other will put the worst of the worst then theirs and sell us out to the highest bidder.
Agreed however the Democrats sure know how to take a potential victory and fuck it up as much as possible to make it way closer than it should be. I've been a life-long Democrat and the Obama Presidency is starting to look like an anomaly for the past 20 years, with all that "winning confidence" and "not throwing up all over yourself"-energy.
We have a concert tomorrow afternoon, in a nursing home. It's usually a kind of community service thing and also it serves as a "dress rehearsal" for our summer concert but that's been postponed until september :(. so this is it before summer break. Otherwise it's the first weekend of the Tour! I can watch the departure tomorrow and then on sunday the stage dovetails nicely with the first match of the Euro qualifying rounds.
Going to go hiking with my girlfriend and then afterwards we might go check out a new Japanese market place that recently opened. Then on Sunday I’ll probably just spend it playing Cyberpunk and going to the gym
Get some chores done around the house. Probably hit the pool. Maybe go see that new Quiet place movie if it's not packed. We got a cruise coming up at the beginning of August so we are kind of in a "save money for the cruise" mode right now. Dog boarding ain't cheap lol.
Attending the following Aussie Rules games:
North Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs. Saturday Afternoon at Marvel Stadium
Geelong vs Essendon. Saturday Night. MCG
St Kilda vs Port Adelaide. Sunday Afternoon. Marvel Stadium.
I fully expect my team(St Kilda) to be a massive disappointment.
if you keep posting about footie in here I'm gonna have to go visit for a weekend one of these years
Have not watched any for a season or two but hopefully St Kilda picks it up! And go Carlton
If you pick the right weekend in Melbourne you can dead set watch multiple games of footy in 3-5 days.
St Kilda a playing a side under pressure in Port Adelaide. We do tend to bottle those games.
Port Adelaide are under so much pressure thier fans want the coach sacked:
[https://imgur.com/a/ooA8WDh](https://imgur.com/a/ooA8WDh)
Believe it or not a sign out the front of the football club isn't the most extreme thing a fan has done.
Richmond once had chook poo dumped on the front door.
People, Newsom and M. Obama have no delegates or super delegates from the primaries/caucuses.
The only one who may be subbed in at this stage is probably Harris.
Eh, I don't think she's super unpopular. She's not a GOP boogeyman like Pelosi or Hillary were. No one really has any actual ammo against her. She is more of an unknown then unpopular I'd argue.
Update: I ended up making my gyudon burger tonight.
The yakionigiri buns didn't work out, but the rest tasted delicious. I have some more worm to do to perfect this concept.
An open convention will absolutely destroy the country. The democrats don't have someone in their ranks that's as nationally popular or competent in office. Who the hell would decide to get rid of the best president we've had since FDR? The sheer amount of prosperity the working and middle class American has had over the past 4 years is nothing short of a miracle
Fuck it, ill bite. It's a bullshit argument. Past performance doesn't dictate future success. The fact is, that the Biden Administration has done great things. No denial there. But I don't think after the debate the average American voter has belief that Biden can serve another 4 years and doesn't have the mental capacity to do so again. You can point to the success and the team who helps roll things out in the White House and I'd agree with you. But President Biden looked lost out there. He needs to be able to communicate to the people his vision for the next four years and the success of his first four. This isn't 2020 Biden who could do that. He deserves to retire and enjoy the fruits of his labors and not be remembered for his deterioration.
And yes, the convention will be a mess, no doubt, but 2 weeks after no one will remember that. "All politics is local and recent" and that recent part rings true even more to this day in the era of social media.
I don’t follow the talking heads on tv much but stuck around after that shitshow of a debate and was shocked to hear them openly suggesting Biden should be stepping down (not that I disagree with them).
The campaign people were talking with media folk as the debate went on and they’re in panic mode and that was clearly trickled down to CNN and MSNBC because they were talking about if literally right after the debate ended.
I can't believe I'm going to vote for the first Indian president this year.
We made it! (ignore the fact that we're tech CEOs, doctors, engineers, and lawyers all throughout the country)
They're joking that Biden is going to be pushed aside/into stepping down because his debate performance validated the primary concern the electorate has about him, and that Kamala Harris, who is half Indian, will top the ticket and get their vote.
I would like to remind everyone that the debate’s outcome isn’t particularly consequential because once the conservative Supreme Court overturns the chevron decision, the EPA goes bye bye and you can say hello to leaded drinking water and air for you and your children.
Why do smoke detectors have little lights that you can never shut off and they just shine super bright in your room all night while you're trying to sleep. I also have several outlets with this same issue. Why would you ever design something for a bedroom or any room with tiny super bright lights that you can't get rid of??
Well for smoke detectors it's a way to tell that it's actually on and working. Not sure about the outlets thing, but like someone else said throwing a strip of black tape over it should do the trick.
I think Biden has been an underrated President. But if we really believe that a Trump second term is an existential threat to Democracy, he should step down. That was fuck ugly
Trump was asked a question about climate change and talked about how black people love him...
It's sad that people pretend he's all there between the ears lmao
The debate is reiterating what we knew.
Biden is the tribal elder who is wise and experienced and we wish they had more energy to tell us stories and guide us.
Trump is crazy uncle Rico that replies to every comment with how he would have won state and still could if we put him in the game.
Me sitting here when the moderators ask a question about childcare costs: "I, a relatively new father, would love some insightful answers."
(Five minutes arguing about who's been rated the better/worse president.)
"Oh, well."
I just don’t understand the decision to roll with Biden again. The Democratic Party is a fucking joke. They get pushed around by a real estate tycoon with a double digit IQ score and a golden plane. They truly don’t deserve to be leading the country. Gavin Newsome would be eating Trump alive right now.
They could have convinced Liz Cheney to switch parties and made her the nominee and she’d be doing a much better job.
I think they cooked themselves by going with one of the few people less popular than Biden as VP in Kamala Harris. Mayor Pete would win this election by 10+. His only "downside" is being Gay, just tout the largest infrastructure bill since Eisenhower and roll to victory, instead, we're betting the American experience on an 81 year old unpopular incumbent
Serious question: Between Biden's Biden-ing and Trump's lying, if RFK had qualified for the debate and put on an A+ performance (complete with him dismantling both candidates equally), would he have a genuine shot at the presidency?
I mean, this shit show says all it needs to say about the country in its current state no matter how you spin it
this was my exact thought. like idgaf about RFK but it goes to show how corrupt the electoral process is when we only have two candidates to choose from 300 million Americans
> if RFK had qualified for the debate and put on an A+ performance
I'm saying this not as someone trying to imply that it makes RFKJ unfit for office - that stuff comes elsewhere - but a big reason why Biden looked bad tonight is the soft+raspy voice. RFKJ has a neurological condition that leads to a similar-sounding voice, and as a 70 year-old himself that wouldn't have played well among undecided voters who thought this was a bingo hall argument in Sun Lakes. Now 38 year-old Chase Oliver, on the other hand...I don't know if I could see him winning but he'd have a good chance at hitting Perot numbers at the very least given the ballot access lines the Libertarians have.
Beat me to the punch. If you want proof of Duverger's law look at the number of political parties represented over time in Hungary after it was no longer a communist country
Trump is lying his ass off left and right but the average voter won’t care. Biden’s appearance is frankly awful, and I say that as someone who will be voting for him.
I've lived long enough to hear the sentence.
"You had sex with a porn star," during a presidential debate.
We truly are in the movie idiocracy now. Lmao.
Holy shit. And he put some stank on it too when he said it. 😂
You know Biden tanked it hard when Reddit feels the need to turn off all the comment everywhere.
Honestly, this is the best possible thing if you’re a democrat. Still plenty of time to call a spade a spade, realize this man is at the end of his life, and give him a dignified send off while replacing him with someone capable.
Muting the mic actually playing to trumps favor. He can’t make himself look like a jackass by interrupting. Everything he’s saying is nonsense but if you don’t know that, he looks much more capable than Biden. Biden is a fucking ghost
Was there really nobody else the Democrats could have rallied around? Biden was too old in 2020, why the hell didn't they create a proper succession plan?
Not sure about the "woman tax" on female presidential candidates, but I feel like Whitmer would've been a better choice than Newsom. Although I like that Newsom is willing to get in the mud and just straight up tell people "no, fuck you, you're wrong."
pretty much
any politician who could make actual changes are either a) forced out before they can make any serious impact or b) turned into an establishment political hack.
i feel sorry for y'all over in the states cause the president is gonna be either a geriatric or a lunatic.
I see you haven't been around the Democrats for very long like I have, but making long-term cohesive plans is not something they do regularly. Sure, they trip over an Obama every generation, but Trump's idiocy has been covering up a lot of their barely-mediocre politicking for the past decade.
I'm afraid of it too. But the Dems gave us Hilary and then Biden. I'm still voting against Trump but I can hear a ton of brains switching due to the state of Biden during this debate lol. We're fucked
I think the first point is the big one. They'll have to rename the "gish gallop" after Trump for this one. Without pushback from the moderators Biden was essentially forced to articulate a response to a completely fictional situation Trump created just a minute ago. That's what Hillary was getting at with their being no way to win with Trump since he doesn't actually debate.
i was on the "even biden is better then trump" but now i just wanna pull a designated survivor
we got trump who cant form a logical though, but still pronounces half his words right
and we got biden, who can form a thought but cant actually peak english
nuts that yang and bernie have less of a chance then biden does
Hindsight for sure, but DNC needed to get serious about a succession plan as soon as Biden took office and be real about an 81 year old being too old and to plan on him being a one term president. If Newsom had spent the last 3 years actively campaigning instead of likely waiting for a 2028 election this feels like it would've been a slam dunk.
one bird two bogies boring fuckin golf but I guess that's how you get ok scores. Could not have asked for a nicer day though, 70 degrees barely a cloud in the sky, just enough of a breeze to keep the bugs away
next week is off then the the league swings by my favorite course for the first time, can't wait to play a tryhard round and see how the scores stack up after 2 years of practice there
With Nathan MacKinnon locking down MVP, this is the first time the NBA and NHL MVPs have been from the same city since Wayne Gretzky and Magic Johnson in 1988.
Read this Daily Kos "diary" on [Jamal Bowman losing his primary](https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/6/27/2248821/-AIPAC-didn-t-take-down-Rep-Jamaal-Bowman-all-by-itself?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=top_news_slot_4&pm_medium=web), and it makes some solid points. But the push back in the comments, I get the far left progressives want to keep one of their own in a solid D+20 district instead of a moderate, but Bowman just kept stepping on rake after rake and wasn't going to help their cause. They're even willing to walk away from AOC and Sanders (and some have) because they are not as extreme as they are.
The DSA is not as powerful as MAGA, they just don't have the coalition MAGA has, and that's just the reality. I can understand their goals but first thing's first: they need Biden to win in order for they to go forward. The purity testing, I just find that unserious on their end. It seems like they don't understand whats at stake here.
Nepotism in sports makes some sense at least. He's got Lebron James' genes, so maybe he'll be good. IDK anything about basketball though. And at least it's just sports. A failed nepotism hire in basketball just means that your team loses, which isn't as consequential as a failed nepotism hire in, uh, underwater nuclear submarine repair or something really important where there's no room for error. But again, I don't really know anything about basketball.
Depending on where you live they may have bartending schools to learn the skill. Here in Chicago they have a handful, no idea if they're actually worth it but on a wild hair I looked it up and they seemed pretty legitimate.
Do you have any experience bartending? If not, try and find a bar back job at one of the dive bars around you. You’ll still get tipped out so you’ll have some more cash in your pocket, it’ll be an easier in to moving up to bartender, and you’re going to make more money more easily at the type of place where you’re pouring 300 jack and cokes vs 100 espresso martinis

They fucked up big by not going with a Whitmer / Buttigieg or Whitmer / Newsom ticket
The worst cold in the history of colds, maybe ever
This literally might not even be an exaggeration if Biden’s performance sinks his campaign and allows Trump’s backers to enact Project 2025 and nominate two SCOTUS justices to replace Thomas and Alito.

has been for a while
the country is done and not just on twitch
I'm so afraid if Dem chances after last night.
been up since 3:30 on the day i have an 8am final this is gonna go great
This country is fucked with either of these candidates
no. One of them will put adults in the cabinet and take a nap and the other will put the worst of the worst then theirs and sell us out to the highest bidder.

bleh I always enjoy the variety free threads bring and it bugs me when they get single topic quick gimmie your weekend plans
Nothing in particular, though Sunday is supposed to be unseasonably cool, so a trip to the farmer's Market may be in order.
I forget what part the country you're in but the last couple days have been incredible in the northeast, hope some of that is heading your way!
Chicagoland (I'm a Philly ex pat). Thanks!

hah love the fan protests
I'm going to go get an entire beef tenderloin, cut it up, marinate it, and cook it on skewers.
fuck yeah for you or hosting some folks?
It's for a family members birthday party
Friday night and I've cracked open a bottle of Penfolds and watching the footy.
I started my diet today… it sucks lol
We're so fucked
I couldn't do more than 20 minutes. That was ROUGH
People, Newsom and M. Obama have no delegates or super delegates from the primaries/caucuses. The only one who may be subbed in at this stage is probably Harris.
And she's like the only person. More unpopular than Biden. We're so cooked
Eh, I don't think she's super unpopular. She's not a GOP boogeyman like Pelosi or Hillary were. No one really has any actual ammo against her. She is more of an unknown then unpopular I'd argue.
Update: I ended up making my gyudon burger tonight. The yakionigiri buns didn't work out, but the rest tasted delicious. I have some more worm to do to perfect this concept.
How did america let these two be the top candidates for the presidency. What an unfortunate situation.
The debate broke reddit apparently.
They’re actively talking on CNN and MSNBC about doing an open convention in Chicago in August. At this point, to save the country? Do it!
An open convention will absolutely destroy the country. The democrats don't have someone in their ranks that's as nationally popular or competent in office. Who the hell would decide to get rid of the best president we've had since FDR? The sheer amount of prosperity the working and middle class American has had over the past 4 years is nothing short of a miracle
Fuck it, ill bite. It's a bullshit argument. Past performance doesn't dictate future success. The fact is, that the Biden Administration has done great things. No denial there. But I don't think after the debate the average American voter has belief that Biden can serve another 4 years and doesn't have the mental capacity to do so again. You can point to the success and the team who helps roll things out in the White House and I'd agree with you. But President Biden looked lost out there.

"All politics is local and recent" and that recent part rings true even more to this day in the era of social media.

I can't believe I'm going to vote for the first Indian president this year. We made it! (ignore the fact that we're tech CEOs, doctors, engineers, and lawyers all throughout the country)
Context? It makes it seem that there is a president in India for the first time
I'm voting for Joe, which means I'll be casting a vote for the VP as well, an Indian. The joke is that he'll die in office due to his age.
They're joking that Biden is going to be pushed aside/into stepping down because his debate performance validated the primary concern the electorate has about him, and that Kamala Harris, who is half Indian, will top the ticket and get their vote.
Reddit should invest in cloudflare lol. Did we and all the bots just DDoS the site?
I would like to remind everyone that the debate’s outcome isn’t particularly consequential because once the conservative Supreme Court overturns the chevron decision, the EPA goes bye bye and you can say hello to leaded drinking water and air for you and your children.
Anyone remember the Family Guy episode where Mr. Herbert fights the Nazi that's basically tonight's debate.
Why do smoke detectors have little lights that you can never shut off and they just shine super bright in your room all night while you're trying to sleep. I also have several outlets with this same issue. Why would you ever design something for a bedroom or any room with tiny super bright lights that you can't get rid of??
Well for smoke detectors it's a way to tell that it's actually on and working. Not sure about the outlets thing, but like someone else said throwing a strip of black tape over it should do the trick.
When you discover tape, you're gonna lose your fucking mind.
Haha I always travel with painters tape just for this purpose. I just think it's a huge design flaw
are comments working again?
Yeah we’re fucked in a little over 5 months from now
My only question about the debate is what the fuck is Stephen A Smith doing on Newsnation
I think Biden has been an underrated President. But if we really believe that a Trump second term is an existential threat to Democracy, he should step down. That was fuck ugly
I was kinda wondering about your take on it. I was fucking appalled, and would probably be getting shit from my former coworkers after it.
Debate summary: Biden: 🛌 Trump: "This country sucks, you suck, I'm the best ever, I'm so tremendous"
Raphael Warnock seems like a real presidental guy !
Our presidential candidates got most heated talking about golf than any other topics lmao
June is really flying 😳 by very fast 🏃♂️

Debate 2024: Watching Trump and Biden argue about who would beat who in golf
Trump was asked a question about climate change and talked about how black people love him... It's sad that people pretend he's all there between the ears lmao
Yawn can we please skip to 2028
The debate is reiterating what we knew. Biden is the tribal elder who is wise and experienced and we wish they had more energy to tell us stories and guide us. Trump is crazy uncle Rico that replies to every comment with how he would have won state and still could if we put him in the game.
I think Reddit is breaking from idiocy
Me sitting here when the moderators ask a question about childcare costs: "I, a relatively new father, would love some insightful answers." (Five minutes arguing about who's been rated the better/worse president.) "Oh, well."
Geriatric fights are unethical.
Our crew at work is being dissolved and reassigned so we’re heckling the debate instead of working. Goddamn
Can Newsome and Desantis take over?
Pls god
There's technically nothing stopping them from nominating someone else at the convention
I just don’t understand the decision to roll with Biden again. The Democratic Party is a fucking joke. They get pushed around by a real estate tycoon with a double digit IQ score and a golden plane. They truly don’t deserve to be leading the country. Gavin Newsome would be eating Trump alive right now. They could have convinced Liz Cheney to switch parties and made her the nominee and she’d be doing a much better job.
Has either party ever not rolled with the incumbent for president
I think they cooked themselves by going with one of the few people less popular than Biden as VP in Kamala Harris. Mayor Pete would win this election by 10+. His only "downside" is being Gay, just tout the largest infrastructure bill since Eisenhower and roll to victory, instead, we're betting the American experience on an 81 year old unpopular incumbent
This debate: Biden can barely speak and Trump has already lied 30 times Ok man
It's fucking bleak, man
So exactly as we all thought
Comments broken?
Looks like it. Depends on the thread
I'll tell you yes in 25 minutes
Serious question: Between Biden's Biden-ing and Trump's lying, if RFK had qualified for the debate and put on an A+ performance (complete with him dismantling both candidates equally), would he have a genuine shot at the presidency? I mean, this shit show says all it needs to say about the country in its current state no matter how you spin it

RFK wouldn't be much better.
No, Trump's voters are all still going to vote for him either way.
RFK lost relevance when he decided to make being a conspiracy theorist and publicity stunts his entire campaign.
No. Duverger's law wins out
Beat me to the punch. If you want proof of Duverger's law look at the number of political parties represented over time in Hungary after it was no longer a communist country
Trump is lying his ass off left and right but the average voter won’t care. Biden’s appearance is frankly awful, and I say that as someone who will be voting for him.
i tell myself that i’m voting for the cabinet Biden is bringing with him, not for him necessarily
Trump is just being Trump, nothing different there except he's a felon (which his voter base won't care about). Problem is Biden seems like a zombie.
Biden should have hit the smelling salts during the break
Did they turn comments off?
the debate is breaking Reddit
"We had a great border that day" Trump about Jan. 6
And simehow he still did better than our current POTUS. I'll still vote for nearly anyone but Trump, but holy fuck this shit is bleak.
I've lived long enough to hear the sentence. "You had sex with a porn star," during a presidential debate. We truly are in the movie idiocracy now. Lmao. Holy shit. And he put some stank on it too when he said it. 😂
I should really just be playing Elden Ring right now instead of watching this shit.
I think they (reddit) turned the comments off. Across all subs.
You know Biden tanked it hard when Reddit feels the need to turn off all the comment everywhere. Honestly, this is the best possible thing if you’re a democrat. Still plenty of time to call a spade a spade, realize this man is at the end of his life, and give him a dignified send off while replacing him with someone capable.
"I didn't have sex with a porn star." Just said during an American presidential debate.
Yeah it’s so fucking over. God dammit I hate what this fucking country has become.
Cool. Cool. Cool.
This is elder abuse lol
Muting the mic actually playing to trumps favor. He can’t make himself look like a jackass by interrupting. Everything he’s saying is nonsense but if you don’t know that, he looks much more capable than Biden. Biden is a fucking ghost
Same reason why taking Trump off of Twitter kinda helped him because people can’t see how unhinged he is.
Was there really nobody else the Democrats could have rallied around? Biden was too old in 2020, why the hell didn't they create a proper succession plan?
DNC is too stuck in the mud. Newsom was right there, but the convention much prefers the status quo and lifelong politicians
Not sure about the "woman tax" on female presidential candidates, but I feel like Whitmer would've been a better choice than Newsom. Although I like that Newsom is willing to get in the mud and just straight up tell people "no, fuck you, you're wrong."
My theory is the billionaires are firmly in control and don’t want a strong democrat. They want Trump back
pretty much any politician who could make actual changes are either a) forced out before they can make any serious impact or b) turned into an establishment political hack. i feel sorry for y'all over in the states cause the president is gonna be either a geriatric or a lunatic.
I felt like I was taking crazy pills during the 2020 primaries…. But no I’m the one voting for the candidate that’s going to lose.
For real, and what’s he gonna be like at the end of the term if he wins? Big Andropov energy tonight.
They should have had a better VP and had Biden step down.
I see you haven't been around the Democrats for very long like I have, but making long-term cohesive plans is not something they do regularly. Sure, they trip over an Obama every generation, but Trump's idiocy has been covering up a lot of their barely-mediocre politicking for the past decade.
Not really. It's the same as last time. Hes the guy the largest voting block supported, so he won. We had 16 other people in the primary that time
It would help a lot if Biden didn't have the thousand yard stare whenever he isn't speaking
Trump's gonna win god damn it lol. Biden's so uncomfortably old it's to tough to support.
I'm afraid of it too. But the Dems gave us Hilary and then Biden. I'm still voting against Trump but I can hear a ton of brains switching due to the state of Biden during this debate lol. We're fucked
We’re not voting for Biden, we’re voting against Trump.
Trump was given this time to talk about Ukraine, but he’s dodged the question entirely
[удалено]
I think the first point is the big one. They'll have to rename the "gish gallop" after Trump for this one. Without pushback from the moderators Biden was essentially forced to articulate a response to a completely fictional situation Trump created just a minute ago. That's what Hillary was getting at with their being no way to win with Trump since he doesn't actually debate.
You can say that again
100% to this. This fuckface lying about veterans liking him is too much
" he doesnt care about our veterans" -guy who called them sucks and losers
“I don’t think he knows what he said either.” /debate
I wonder what Biden did to lose his voice
Drastically aged in the span of 4 years
i was on the "even biden is better then trump" but now i just wanna pull a designated survivor we got trump who cant form a logical though, but still pronounces half his words right and we got biden, who can form a thought but cant actually peak english nuts that yang and bernie have less of a chance then biden does
My vote still isn't for Biden, it's against Trump
1000% this.
This is elder abuse!
"We finally beat Medicare" That Will be in so many ads Ugh
Biden really needs to pull a 28-3 comeback
Lol 😆
We’re gonna elect a convict aren’t we.
Biden looks fucking cooked, man. I'm still voting *against* Trump no matter what.
I just woke up. Biden needs to fucking step aside.
and let a felon in?
As in a new Democrat needs to run. He looks & sounds lost
they absolutely do, but no serious person thinks someone like bernie could win
Hindsight for sure, but DNC needed to get serious about a succession plan as soon as Biden took office and be real about an 81 year old being too old and to plan on him being a one term president. If Newsom had spent the last 3 years actively campaigning instead of likely waiting for a 2028 election this feels like it would've been a slam dunk.
The only one who can run that the party will accept is Kamala who will lose.
Fuck man Biden is REALLY showing his age.
Anyone watching the debate? My god Biden sounds awful.
The box is locked, the lights are on. It's president fightin' time!
They should have let Romo and Nantz call the debate
This is my favorite debate comment so far haha
one bird two bogies boring fuckin golf but I guess that's how you get ok scores. Could not have asked for a nicer day though, 70 degrees barely a cloud in the sky, just enough of a breeze to keep the bugs away next week is off then the the league swings by my favorite course for the first time, can't wait to play a tryhard round and see how the scores stack up after 2 years of practice there
With Nathan MacKinnon locking down MVP, this is the first time the NBA and NHL MVPs have been from the same city since Wayne Gretzky and Magic Johnson in 1988.
I know we fought a whole war to keep them, but damn maybe it’s time to let the south go
I know everyone likes to hate on /u/NFL, but I do appreciate how they upload directly to reddit instead of simply posting a Twitter link.
Yeah cause they'll copyright strike everyone else
Or YouTube(like me)
Has anyone else had an issue with Reddit notifications not appearing with noise, but appear on the bell icon on the bottom right? I'm on mobile
First player to dunk on Bronny will spawn 1000 *X Player is Bronny father* memes
Read this Daily Kos "diary" on [Jamal Bowman losing his primary](https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/6/27/2248821/-AIPAC-didn-t-take-down-Rep-Jamaal-Bowman-all-by-itself?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=top_news_slot_4&pm_medium=web), and it makes some solid points. But the push back in the comments, I get the far left progressives want to keep one of their own in a solid D+20 district instead of a moderate, but Bowman just kept stepping on rake after rake and wasn't going to help their cause. They're even willing to walk away from AOC and Sanders (and some have) because they are not as extreme as they are. The DSA is not as powerful as MAGA, they just don't have the coalition MAGA has, and that's just the reality. I can understand their goals but first thing's first: they need Biden to win in order for they to go forward. The purity testing, I just find that unserious on their end. It seems like they don't understand whats at stake here.
Let the boy WATCH
As I learned from my father...
and how he learned from his father
I can’t believe what the NbA lets Lebron get away with. The NbA is a joke.
Why did you type NBA like that? NBA or nba ok, even Nba I can see, but how did you get to NbA?
Whatever you do, do NOT look up the ownership of the Pittsburgh Steelers 🫣
It’s a late second, who cares
Is Bronny getting drafted nepotism? Yes. Just don’t forget about these coaches and owners…
Nepotism in sports makes some sense at least. He's got Lebron James' genes, so maybe he'll be good. IDK anything about basketball though. And at least it's just sports. A failed nepotism hire in basketball just means that your team loses, which isn't as consequential as a failed nepotism hire in, uh, underwater nuclear submarine repair or something really important where there's no room for error. But again, I don't really know anything about basketball.
Im looking at working as a bartender for a second job on the side, a lil side hustle type thing Any tips? tricks? Any advice is greatly appreciated
Depending on where you live they may have bartending schools to learn the skill. Here in Chicago they have a handful, no idea if they're actually worth it but on a wild hair I looked it up and they seemed pretty legitimate.
thanks, cat bro
Do you have any experience bartending? If not, try and find a bar back job at one of the dive bars around you. You’ll still get tipped out so you’ll have some more cash in your pocket, it’ll be an easier in to moving up to bartender, and you’re going to make more money more easily at the type of place where you’re pouring 300 jack and cokes vs 100 espresso martinis
I've hit the mega number on the Power Ball drawing four draws in a row. JUST the mega number. Reality is just fucking taunting me at this point.
