Old, yes, they are both old. Not elderly, but old. The minimum age for a present is 35. I would very much like to start seeing younger presidents that will be more in touch with what current issues really are and can energize a younger generation of voters.

And yes that was exactly my point on having a white man as an anchor.

It is obviously a cycle we need to break. That said, a campaign has to make choices that lead to victory. Kamala is already a person of color and a woman. If she wins, it would be only the second time to have a non-white President and the first woman.

The fact is that while many us are hungry for change to the old norms, many will be more conservative to change (and I don't mean in the crazy MAGA way). Having an old white guy on the ticket acts as an anchor for those who are too scared to fully jump into all out change, ensuring that those votes aren't lost to the other side.

In a written statement to the police, she has alleged that her husband "chained her and left her in the forest to die without food or water".

Hey, look at that, "mystery" solved within four paragraphs.

Yeah, that's the funniest part to me. The vast majority of people, world wide, had no idea CrowdStrike even existed. Only those in It in commercial or government would have possibly known who they were. Now the world's introduction to CrowdStrike is it setting everything on fire. Talk about bad PR.

Not that it will really matters, I figure that the lawsuits for damages will be in the billions if not trillions. Their best bet will be to declare bankruptcy and rebrand under a different name.

Plus it is recycled. They would only replace what is lost due to evaporation or after a drain and cleaning.

What is the temperature in Barcelona right now? I would imagine getting hit with a water gun would feel pretty nice on a hot day of walking around doing touristy stuff.

She looks like this guy with a clipped on face. Such a ghoul inside and out.

Looks like somebody is itching to be a dictator.

"Freeloader" would also have been an acceptable choice.

My preference would be for them to flip the ticket. Put Kamala as first and him as vice. I don't really care for her, but it would be worlds better than another Trump reign of terror. Flipping the ticket would be the least destabilizing move and would appease the concerns of age while also keeping him on for those that didn't like her (or a woman).

Jokes on them, Pikachu would probably like being taxed.

Shocked Pikachu

An apt analogy.

It would seem the entire world is in a fascist death spiral. I'm not going to to be so grandiose as to say we are all completely fucked, but I will say this wave of fascism is going to likely stunt human progress for the next one-hundred years.

Kind of makes you wonder who she fucked to pass law school, huh? She seems to be genuinely dumb as a box of rocks.

I legit thought there was a hedgehog on his shoulder in that picture.

Yeah, that was Johnson's failure.

It is NOT a good idea, it is NEVER a good idea. However, in order to avoid it, both sides would have to be willing to talk to each other, in good faith, and work out an agreeable way forward. That is what we used to do. We have always been a divided country, but when it mattered both side could usually work out a mutually agreeable resolution. That has stopped. So, we are divided and continuing to split further and no one will work together. What is the resolution? I don't see a good one any time in the near future.

Well, I don't like hot and humid, so most Asian countries are probably out. Most likely some where in Europe. Depends on the current state of affairs at the time.

Well, historically, civil wars seem to end in one of two ways, either the victor subjugating the loser or the country splitting apart. So I would wager the outcome to be one of those.
