      If he wins the world is lost. His “leadership” is indicative of the same disease that’s increasing everywhere. It’s worrying and it’s all coming from the “right” of the political spectrum. Wars are coming.

        I’ve always had to remind myself and others of this. Trump isn’t the problem, not really. He’s just a symptom of the brain rot gripping the world at this moment.

    An internal combustion engine came up to me, big strong internal combustion engine, tears in his eyes, and said “Sir, I want to thank for all you’ve done for this country, from the bottom of my spark plugs.”

    Honestly it’s a little how my mom talks when she gets upset. Just a stream of things that are loosely connected but are all bobbing along on the same river of emotion.

    It’s how I get stuff like “You never call me you call your cousin he’s cheating on his wife you know just because you broke up with your girlfriend doesn’t mean you have to take it out on me”. You can kind of see how there’s a shared feeling or theme there but it’s not articulated.

    I’m going to guess that for someone who produces output like that, input of that type goes in easily. They’re just vibing on the emotions.

      It’s one thing all the parodies like SNL miss. Every mockery of him makes more sense than his babble, because you need things to make some sense to be funny for more than 90 seconds.

      “Covfefe” gives you what, two seconds of a joke? When you work it into something, that something ends up more coherent than actual Trump.

      We should be precise. 7th grade reading skill is roughly where uou should be at 12 years old. A 7th grade reading level is literate, able to read and understand most words, and able to derive meaning.

      Adult illiteracy is nothing to be ashamed of. More adults should seek help with their literacy skills, and people should not be made to feel stupid just because the educational and social support systems failed them in one way or another.

      Celebrating ignorance is the real problem. Trump is not just illiterate, he’s incoherent. His statements are gibberish, and his followers revel in the confusion and consternation he evokes in others.

    They do believe the car thing. A relative of a friend told me she didn’t want Biden to take away her Honda CRV because she liked it so much. She seemed to think it was a nearly done deal, Biden’s coming to reclaim all fossil-fueled powered vehicles and make everyone buy electric cars. I didn’t ask for details.

    Of course, the Republicans are standing strong against this atrocity.

      Depending on the generation of CR-V, I suppose - and without any hard math/stats despite how hard I’ve tried - I suspect the net impact of your relative driving it for the rest of its usable life vs buying a brand new EV to be significantly less, considering Lithium mining, curb weight, etc.

      “Actually it’s because HP’s printer software is shit”

      “What? That printer was $300. It’s great! And it worked fine before you added these stupid Firefoxes”

        The printer randomly reconnects with a new MAC over USB (god knows how), registering as a new device. The WLAN interface died years ago and suddenly popped up again.

        But no, the printer is good, Firefox is at fault. 🙄

    All the talk about Biden being mentally unifit coming out of the Trump camp has to be pure projection. Trump is what, only 4 years younger? He’s had some gaffes just as bad imo

      They’re both mentally unfit IMHO. One is a bit demented, the other is lucky that his dementia happens to help cover a pile of seething shit.

        Biden isn’t a good person by any means but we’re literally comparing the next Hitler to Bill Clinton.

        Clinton got a blowjob and got impeached. Trump fucked a hooker and no one gave a single fuck.

            Clinton (and Obama, for that matter) were exceptionally young presidents.

            Clinton was the youngest president at the time of his induction since Kennedy (Kennedy was also the youngest President at the end of his term for other reasons, namely because it was the youngest a President had ever died, if that makes sense). JFK was the youngest since TR, who was the youngest ever, and Obama was only a year or so younger than Clinton at the time of induction.
