Teddy Roosevelt was shot while giving a speech 3 weeks before the 1912 election, was so fucking tough that he *stayed to finish the speech* and then lost to Woodrow Wilson 435 electoral votes to 88

George Wallace was literally put in a wheelchair by his attempted assassination and he still lost

“Ha ha, what? How often do I think about the Roman Empire? I dunno, not often?” —A guy really hoping the next question isn’t going to be how often he thinks about the Kowloon Walled City

To everyone who speculated about whether Biden can win an election after the debate: Now they're trying to bring back the Dark Brandon memes. I hope you're happy

Also Biden kept talking about how he's well on the way to practically cutting off immigration altogether and then Trump would say something like "It's criminal, how he's got the border wide open like this. They're flooding into our cities and killing thousands."

I only half-listened to an hour of the debate and also I'm neurodivergent but my basic impression of the rhetoric was not "wow, Biden is losing this." More like "Biden has some speech issues and Trump is vividly describing an Escape from New York scenario and saying that's how we currently live"

My favorite part about tonight was when Biden implemented a draconian border policy that violates human rights and international law and Trump and the CNN moderators still tagged teamed to accuse him of basically giving citizenship and a million dollars each to everyone south of the Rio Grande

Trump says he's taking hydroxychloroquine to avoid Covid-19. The malaria drug is touted by right wing "influencers" even as studies show it doesn't help and may hurt the heart. "I've heard a lot of good stories," Trump says. In 2024, it is estimated 17,000 people died from hydroxychloroquine misuse.

The kids are alright.

A few times now when I've seen some social media comment that says something like "Your art sucks," in response to someone else's work—not a critique, just an insult—I've jumped into the replies to say "Okay, show us yours." And they never do
