unironically trump 2020 let's gooo

[Ayr]

bro you just say lies then try do to therapy on me i dont think this is received by the rest of the thread as well as you think it is

For what little a random spectator opinion is worth, yeah, Toby's condescending attitude hasn't made him seem any more credible these past few days.

I hope you won't take this as a personal attack, it's just how it looks from over here when you keep talking down to people.

unironically trump 2020 let's gooo

*shrug* Even as a joke, that's a poor one.
Also, the sheer gall. Dude happily kills even his own people, but says come on board, what a joke.
If he hasn't killed HIMSELF come November, I will be surprised.

Was hoping to find this one tweet that illustrated the Warren thing better, but some excel stuff with some really simplified assumptions (50% of Warren voters going to Bernie and the other 50% not voting, not factoring in specific state delegate rules beyond the general 15% minimum threshold, ignoring everyone beyond Bernie, Biden, Bloomberg, and Warren, and including delegates earned pre-Super Tuesday but not from candidates that dropped out and endorsed someone else).

Like now there's an actually burning question, who is going to be the rallying point of the left flank of the party?

Of course not, but this is more than just simple Trump trolling. For once, I actually believe he's happy with the results of the Democratic Primary, especially since Bernie is the only person Trump has recorded evidence of saying that he doesn't want to face in an election.

If the guy that's running against Pelosi wins, him.

Again, trump straight up tried to blackmail a foreign government into helping him fight Biden.

[I3uster]

Ignoring of course that it's super criminal to do that and if you had any kind of functional executive or judicative Trump would be in hyper-jail rn for it, it should be noted how easy that was to do for him compared to digging up Bernie oppo because someone gave Hunter a no show job.

trump likes doing drive by crime i dont think it was some kind of massive plan to stop biden because hes afraid of being crushed of him

but i mean he knew the odds, biden was looking like the nominee a few times back when everyone was still in

[Trubo]

And the impeachment proceedings against Trump corroborated that Biden's pretty much guilty of corruption. You've got to do better if you want those "both sides" people to come out for Biden, because Trump will win them over as things stand.

Hunter Biden is the only thing the Biden campaign has going for it. A presidential candidate's son making material promises to Ukrainian petrol magnates just so he can pay for his child support and support his crack habit is dope as fuck

[I3uster]

Hunter is absolutely alpha and I wish him all the best.

[Tobias]

Inane propoganda about hunter aside, when I look at these two things to ascertain worry and fear about political opponents,

supposedly leaked audio that I am dead certain trump himself prepared to bolster sander’s chances, and him actively seeking aid in beating someone from a foreign government leading to his impeachment, I have to find the latter more credible.

november will prove which was actually the larger threat but considering what trump did to try to bolster his chances against Biden its not really a question that trump himself considered Biden a major threat. Which matches multiple leaks from his re-election campaign noting trump was surprised and displeased with Biden cleaning up on Super Tuesday.

[Trubo]

Ah yes, Trump's 5D chess moves of getting audio leaked at a point in the primary where Sanders wasn't the clear favorite, relying entirely on impeachment proceedings to happen in the first place.

[I3uster]

are you like, disputing he became part of an energy companies board of advisors

or the crack

or the child support

cuz i have bad news about what an advisor means when politics is involved

and the crack

but good news on the child support

[Tobias]

Weaponizing sanders worked pretty well in 2016, why wouldn’t he do it again. I mean if I was one of his oppo guys and trump walked in and asked me to pick which groups of likely or possible D voters would be most propositioned to arguments that might not get them to vote for me but could plausibly make them stay home and dry up donations I would have pointed to sanders supporters.

[I3uster]

which part is propaganda help me out here

[Tobias]

That hunter Biden means anything other then a couple of talking points when it comes to Biden’s presidential ability?

I mean let’s start with the child support. Like what? Hunter can’t bag it up is bad for joe? Sure, makes sense. And let’s go to the advisory board. Obama and Biden successfully push for chrruption to be investigated, doing good work for the Ukraine in the process but hunter doing work for an energy company somehow takes away from that achievement.

unless you were thinking joe was gonna pull a trump and have hunter as his VP or chief of staff or something, it’s just talking points.

[Seika]

Ignoring of course that it's super criminal to do that and if you had any kind of functional executive or judicative Trump would be in hyper-jail rn for it

Super criminal acts put you in super jail, not hyper jail.

C'mon, I3uster.

[Mcjon01]

My favorite line is “Biden is running on the most progressive campaign platform of ANY candidate in a general election, EVER” (poster proceeds to mention Hillary and Obama, this is the end of the poster’s list)

[I3uster]

Isn't it at least weird that a guy is put in an energy companies board of advisors (something that is, if you are familiar with corporate consulting, most of the time the retirement home for people you can't kick out) when his dad tried to achieve energy independence for that nation and the boss of that company was a Ukrainian minister and not just some random businessman?

Like, I'm not sure about naked corruption but it is majorly weird. The crack and child support absolutely doesn't matter it just makes him a funnier Hunter S Thompson-esque character.
