Well you can be confident that it will be a hundred years or more before the most competent woman could win against the least competent man and by then we will likely be dead from climate disaster!
So don’t worry we won’t have to try it out again at least.
I think we have an established pattern here.
Old white man vs Trump: Wins popular vote and electoral college.
White woman vs Trump: Wins popular vote, loses electoral college.
Black woman vs Trump: Loses popular vote and electoral college.
I cannot imagine a more effective test of racism and sexism in the electorate. And we failed the test. Badly. We need to do better. But in answer, I suspect Walz-Harris might have won. I also think had there been an actual primary, Harris would not have been the candidate. Because Black woman. God, I hate this timeline so much.
There are so many What Ifs you can ask about the Harris-Walz campaign.
For example:
Ignoring all of that for a moment, has there ever been a Vice President (in the US) that has served under two different Presidents?
He might even throw himself on the floor and drum his heels.
From another comment in that thread, it doesn’t look like it’s the first time, either; there are at least 2 other photos from earlier occasions where he has the same huge bruise, always on the right hand (unless the photos have been reversed).
On Sunday afternoon, Musk also referred to the emails as a “very basic pulse check.” That evening, Musk added that a response was indicative that employees have “two working neurons.”
Yeah, those with a functioning brain knew not to respond
There have been two VPs to serve under different Presidents: George Clinton (Jefferson and Madison) and John C. Calhoun (John Q. Adams and Jackson).
My Ukrainian next-door neighbor is (or was) as far as I know, the only Trump supporter on the block.
For several years now, he had been flying the U.S. flag on the front of his house. The other day he took the flag down, because, as he told me, Trump said that Ukraine started the war with Russia.
Now, I would argue that Trump does not equal the United States, so why not keep flying the flag if you like to fly the flag, you know? But who knows where this might lead. I’m hopeful that it could possibly be the start of him questioning and seeing through Trump’s many many other lies…
One of my wife’s food pantry clients is a Ukranian Trump supporter because “he said he would end the war and my family is still there.” She has not heard from her since this “It’s all Ukraine’s fault” shit started up. I wonder how she is taking it?
That shouldn’t count. That came from the time where the 2nd place vote holder became vice president. They weren’t chosen by the President/party. I just means they ran and lost multiple times.
George Clinton was the first Vice President elected after how the Vice President was elected was changed by the 12th Amendment. Calhoun was also after that change. Neither was the runner up for President when they were elected VP.
Now, at that time, Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates were still not running on a combined ticket, so sometimes, a Vice President was elected who may not have been the winning President’s preference for VP. And I would bet money that JQA didn’t really want Calhoun as his VP.
I stand corrected. I was thinking the 12th was much later.
PS. Nobody needed Calhoun.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. I suspected they were the result of the Vice President receiving the second-most electoral votes for president (prior to the 12th amendment), but both were elected after that change. I’m unclear when President and Vice President started to be voted as a single ticket, so I don’t know if Calhoun was elected independently based on some admittedly brief research.
Did you suggest he fly the flag upside-down?
As noted above, both were elected after the process was changed. Either way, I think it would largely be seen as a failure in a modern context, to be Vice President under two different Presidents.
Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they:
- gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC
- gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration
- sponsored an inaugural party
- hired Trump’s campaign manager
- listed Trump’s meme coin
And now the investigation is closed.
These are called bribes.
I’d find it difficult to physically touch Tramp in any way at all, but it’s great to see Macron do it here, while also correcting the Tramp.
(1 minute)
It’s a boldly coreective gesture, but also a friendly one. Disarming, as it were.
And does Tramp actually blush??
Ew, MOISTURIZE you dumb ass!
Sincerely - I just came up with this not 15 minutes ago. Please give it a listen and share it around on other platforms!
I’ve been wondering about that $80 milluon the DOGE Boys clawed back from NYC. They reached into a bank account and stole it-- a test case, maybe?
Good to see at least that NYC is suing to get it back.
Now that DOGE has access to millions of bank accounts, I wonder how many other instances of thhis kind of theft are coming soon to a bank near you.
