Steve Zorowitz: If Trump were to say tomorrow that he now knows the temperature must be lowered and he’ll do his part, he’d probably gain votes. He ain’t doing that.

I also think that this move may actually finally shift the media’s obsessive focus on Biden Old to “reminding everyone what a crazy aspirant dictator bastard Donald Trump” is. It was working out for Trump to have way less media attention on him for a while, IMO.

Very grateful there's someone with 10x my following and the same anti-doomer instincts

Ironically I’m a very bleak person but I also fucking hate declaring defeat before you’ve actually lost

Hell no. I wouldn’t put it past him to directly blame Biden and the Democrats.

Of course he will and he’s going to do it very violently - this is not going to be appealing to non-insane people

The RNC next week is going to make the Roman Coliseum look like a Taylor Swift concert.

wait the rnc is next week???

Yes

Hopefully with a lot more lions.

This is not going to be good. Why the hell did we end up with this janky timeline??

Harambe was keeping it sane. He was the Keeper of the "Not Quite So Shitty Timeline." Uh, /sarcasm on a 10+ year old joke.

I belive you're thinking of Prince and David Bowie holding things together.

I still blame the cubs for winning in 2016.

I damn near had to whiteboard out "not going to be appealing to non-insane people" !appealing = !!sane_people is how my coder brain went at it and then it crashed.

The problem with coder brain is that assignment operators are always if and only if statements, never one-way implications

As a developer I assure you that's not the only problem with our brains.

Oh, totally agreed. And in fact, if your interpretation of my post was that I thought it was the *only* problem...

the RNC was already gonna be a freakshow with them thinking they've got this in the bag, it's gonna be so much more deranged now

Right now that's probably the best possible outcome, because Trump being scary and deranged at the convention is the one thing that can destroy sympathy for him and remind people of why he's such a horror show.

That would be "weak."
