does anyone have a NYT sub that can tell me where the other stars stand? i need to know
I just mean he wouldn't readily be accepted by the Yale elite because he generally comes across like a rube. Wasn't using hick in a narrow scope
Republicans demanding:
1. Biden step down immediately if he isn’t running for president
and
2. SCOTUS force biden to remain at the top of the ticket
Is basically all you need to know this is a deeply unserious party who was not prepared for someone to put country over self and knows they are unequivocally ****ed running some belligerent halfwit demogauge against anyone who isn’t 80 years old
Look who wants to enforce campaign finance rules now eh?
I bet if Orange told the same joke there would have been hearty guffaws and rapturous applause all round. Must be the way you tell 'em.
As hard as he tries to pretend otherwise, it is apparent that he was not a hillbilly just from his garbage book. Poor illiterate kids don't ****ing play Magic: The Gathering, especially 25 years ago when it was a niche nerd thing.
your case... against the dictionary?
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, thoroughly reviled 2p2 poster #Thinman.
Never heard anybody say anything negative about Thinman.
he's hated for being fatphobic ldo
A misunderstanding - he's just small-boned.
It was in a discussion of the 12th and 22nd amendments. One of the first things that came up in googling "can a 2 term president run for VP." A site called digitalcommonlaw I think at UGA.
Can't believe Trump went for "Laughing Kamala" and whiffed on "Cackling Kamala." That's probably a sign that his junior high school mentality is not as sharp as it once was.
Wikipedia says his mother was a drug addict and he mostly lived with his grandparents in Ohio, who were from Appalachia.
I understand this is all tribal, so most of you aren't inclined to be generous. But I would say this qualifies as a "poor white" upbringing, and the fact he played Magic isn't the gotcha you seem to think it is.
Can you explain the mountain dew joke? Is it funny because "dew" sounds like "jew"? Or is there some mountain connection I'm missing here?
Cant hit a HR every time. Even Bonds in his later prime swung and missed occasionally.
You would have to explain the context of the joke, and then give the joke itself, to me. I'll hold my breathe and wait.
Has Trump ever hit a home run? I mean, "crooked Hillary" and "crooked Joe" don't seem like zingers to me.
Pocahontas for Warren was very good.
I looked up the Montain Dew "joke." If that is a preview of things to come it doesn't look like we should be expecting too many HRs from Vance.
I have no idea dude, only what was posted in this thread (#6192 & #6193).
And I can't believe I'm explaining this to someone who is seemingly fairly intelligent, but since you've made this same mistake twice in as many days: it's "won't hold my breath", the whole point being that if you did hold your breath, it would take so long that you would die. Holding your breath would defeat the whole point, you see, because then I could just decline to provide you whatever it is you're waiting for until you expire. Also, "breath" is the noun, "breathe" is a verb.
Was this a Trump thing? Either way it's A+
Lol I just looked it up as well. He got absolutely no reaction from the crowd, laughed at his own joke, then said "I love you guys" to a completely silent audience. Wow, he couldn't even think enough on his feet to know that laughing and delivering the "I love you guys" line was only appropriate if the audience actually laughed. I wouldn't hire that guy as a parking lot attendant.
His book made it obvious that he had the same middle-class upbringing that most older Millennials had. He plays up the "omg I was so poor" schtick when it was clearly not true, in order to brag about how amazing he is.
I had friends who played Magic (was never my thing personally). I am pretty confident none of them had junkie single mothers and grew up with their grandparents from Appalachia.
Anyways, I am sure by your antagonism towards Vance you are going to support Kamala. And from what I know her embellishments of her childhood are at least as bad as Vance's; so it is going to take a lot of cognitive dissonance on your part not to be bothered by this. But I have every confidence you will find a way.
And this isn't even going into Joe Biden's well documented history of just making up **** about his life that he thought would play good.
I agree. And it is still stone cold out of a junior high mentality. It is what it is.
