In a game of golf, Trump vs Biden, I'm taking Trump at almost any odds.

Today, Trump offered to play Biden 18 holes of golf. Trump said he would give Biden 20 strokes. If Biden wins, Trump will write a check for $1 million dollars to a charity of Biden's choice.

20 strokes... still an easy Trump bet.


they should bet who leads the world on a game of golf

On the video, when Trump first started describing the bet, that is exactly what I thought he was going to say. lol


Mark Halperin is now saying that JD Vance is definitely gonna be Trump's vp pick and it'll be announced Sunday.

I like JD Vance a whole lot. He's got them hillbilly roots, just like me!


Remember when JD Vance was a never Trumper?

Pretty good article:

The Moral Collapse of JD Vance


wasn't almost everyone a never Trumper?


JD Vance is a massive douchebag, and that Hillbilly Elegy movie was terrible.


Heh, looks like the campaign has already started!

The problem is that any proposition from Trump is effectively meaningless. There's no objective way to tell if he is lying or not. I think even supporters would agree that he would be most likely to contest any payout if he lost. He'd claim shenanigans.

I wonder if I'm the only person that remembers his tax returns showing he lied about donating his presidential salary?

all of them constantly lie

I vaguely remember trump making some bet, deal, offer to pay x amount if such and such... trump clearly lost, and refused to pay up


Of course they do. But Trump is the only one with a track record of consistently failing to deliver on bets and other monetary based promises. It's essentially a farce. Of course Biden will ignore this one, and idiots will use it to claim Biden is scared or something. No doubt Biden would lose, Trump spent more of his presidency than anyone in history golfing. But that's not the point


Presidential Jeopardy one time!


that was so great back in like 2000 when a reporter tested bush on random Geo political questions

pretty sure no candidate will ever do that again


Ahh, a nice quiet day...

:p


I see Trump's winning odds jumped 7% to 65% on the betting sites.

Decent speech but I winced a little on the part about buying Wisconsin's vote. If anyone else said that I lol. Trump... idk


if putting a different dem on the ballot was really an issue, like unable to print them in time or whatever, so that Dems would have to do a write in candidate.... if that was really undoable, you could just leave the ballots, have everyone vote for Biden, but understand that Harris was the actual candidate. biden would step down, and Harris(or whoever the Dems want, would just be biden's VP) would be president.

just have everyone vote for Biden, but the real candidate would be whoever picks for VP. ez game


Repubs think they've got this won but they're getting ahead of themselves. Practically spraining their arms slapping their own backs in congrats.

Far from over, barely even begun. See the "Red Wave" from 2 years ago.


Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Gogogogo!!!


BTW, remember Harris didn't even win California.


iirc she didn't even win Oakland


Someone who dropped out before the primaries didn't get a lot of votes in said primary.

Shocking.

I thought I was taking crazy pills for a second

California primary voting was irrelevant, and wouldn't matter even if it werent


I think the bigger thing working against her is that she doesn't seem that inspiring or exciting.

But she gave us the Venn diagram and A.I. memes!!!
