Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

This ND guvnor Burgum is now the odds favorite to be veep for trump.

he actually has a solid resume.

started a successful business, sold it, gives away a lot to culture and education, used his fortune to go into government.

Business, government, education, philanthropy.

His only moral failing is a divorce it seems. Weird for a ma'ga not to have criminal activity or ethic failures in your background.

Divorced while his kids were very young so that's not great at all.

he's staked out some middle ground positions on things, incl the environment. wants his state to be carbon neutral.

Hard to see trump picking an establishment normal non freakazoid as veep. But sounds good for now.

Still incredible that a man who's THIS close to becoming POTUS for 8 years (or longer) can write a paragraph that looks EXACTLY like one of his Trumpsters writing on a random message board.

Preaching to the choir.

what you are describing is spanky's secret sauce. He talks and writes just like his people. That's a major reason they like him so much.

No fancy yankee talking down them, that New York City Ivy educated billionaire with the gold apartment on the 58th floor and the country club in Palm Beach.

I'm not sure that many people thought that, exactly. But it is true that it seemed, at least to people like me, that accurate information being available to the WHOLE world, and very easily, could/should make things better.

I particularly thought about places like N. Korea and China and Iran. Well, their people might have more of a clue, but their leadership hasn't changed an iota. And for the U.S. and so many other countries, the bad has weighed so much more than one might have expected.

Just another interesting and depressing lesson that intuition can mean little, and/or things are often more complicated (and often to the bad) than one imagines.

But there should definitely be a TEST. One that Trump would have failed when graduating from an Ivy League University. Not unfairly tough stuff, though.

For example, basic questions about when it is and isn't appropriate to put words in quotation marks? Or to Capitalize Them?

One CANNOT sound "normal" and stay on Trump's VP list. And like the rest of them, he isn't. He's saying that up is down.

Does that erase the rest of his bio? Yeah, politically, I think that it should.

You're letting 30-40% of American voters off the hook for being extremely shallow and/or stupid. OK, fine.

How about the other 10-20%?

"Trump VP Survivor"

With tiki torches burning in the background, Trump's VP candidates are lined up in front of him. One by one, he says horribly insulting things about their wives and immediate family members. And he keeps going, up and down the line, until only one is standing.

(or maybe the idea is completely fundamentally flawed, because they'd ALL remain standing.....duh?)

One can be like a "Laughing Hyena" and still remain Sleepy Joe's VP!

Gary, refresh my memory: Are you "nearly 50," or "nearly 5" ?

I guy that knows a little bit about Russia and Putin checking in.

“Trump and his supporters are now more anti-NATO than Putin. Putin ditched the always-stupid "NATO made me invade Ukraine!" garbage long ago, but his sycophants in the West still haven’t updated their talking points!”

yes

Hilarious ...you were previously talking about putting words in quotation marks and here you are not knowing that ending quotation marks belong outside the ending punctuation. LOL. Maybe take your clown show to one of the Greg threads because you are not very smart and I say that kindly.

GOP Crime Blotter

CNN —
A Republican strategist was sentenced Friday to 1.5 years in prison for facilitating an illegal contribution from a Russian businessman to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016.

All she does is laugh.

Just pointing some uncomfortable truths about our useless VP who's only qualification was her skin color.

“Inflation always hurts the incumbent.”
• “Your buying power has been eroded by 30%.”
• Meat prices up 38%
• Energy costs up 20%
• Housing prices through the roof
“You don’t care about anything except the fact that you’re getting squeezed ... That’s it. That’s what matters. That’s what the debate’s about. Everything else [is] interesting — not as important.” - Kevin O'Leary/Shark Tank

more complicated than the Salster says.

To sum up the rules on question marks:
If the quoted words are a question, put the question mark inside the quotation marks.
If the entire sentence is a question, put the question mark outside the quotation marks.

Bad news for Sleepy Joe.

The Teamsters Union is now supporting Trump! Unions have historically supported democrats.
