What were they expecting? He showed everyone who he was and they still voted for him.

I agree. Although I’m never really sure in these situations.

I never tweeted myself but I liked to follow a couple of local news outlets and out local government agencies for public notices and emergencies. I gave up when stuff from Elon and a bunch of right wing stuff populated my feed. I rarely saw anything of interest. I started using Facebook for that. At least the local stuff pops up in addition to the crazy stuff.

I’ve been seeing this kind of stuff for the last month. Of course most of my friends and family think Donald Trump is the annoited one.

It doesn’t matter. He won’t be willing to extend any programs from the Biden administration just because.

I look for Trump to turn on everyone. It’s the only thing he’s consistently done his entire life.

It’s pretty disappointing.

The right listens to the will of the people when it favors them. Otherwise it’s all cheating and rigged.

There were never any locations near me so I’ve only eaten at Friday’s a couple of times in the last 25 years. The food was good and the prices were fair from what I remember. I think this segment of the restaurant industry is just hit really hard by inflation. I’m really surprised there aren’t a lot more bankruptcies in this segment.

I’m really worried about the future of the country. I live in deep red Louisiana and all of my family and friends are hardcore Trumpers so I can’t discuss any of my concerns. My vote won’t matter so all I can do is hold out hope that Harris/Walz can take the swing states.

I tried to watch it earlier this evening. It was brutal. He can’t finish a thought. I would love to fact check some of the claims he made but it would be nearly impossible without a room full of analysts.

I’m gonna try to watch this later. I give myself 3 minutes before I give up. Thanks for sharing the link.

Update: I made it about 20 minutes into the “interview” and had to stop. The gish gallop is hard with Trump and there’s no way I could listen to it for a full hour.

Kind of like in “The Walking Dead” comics when Carl is telling his children about all of the events of the past?

There are plenty of E-Bibles (pardon my terrible term) available on the Internet for free since many translations are in the public domain. Edit: All of the other stuff is available via webpages, multiple e-book formats, and on webpages. Again, it’s all public domain.

I worked at a major public university for 14 years during the late 90s / early 00s. This happens more than people realize.

Recently he is looking confused and lost more often than not.

I live in Louisiana near the location of the unprecedented flood in 2016 that occurred during the Presidential campaign. He made a trip to one of the relief centers, handed out some toys that had been provided by a charity group, shook hands with some emergency and relief workers, then left. After this photo-op, I had to listen to friends and family about how much Trump had done for the relief effort and Obama had done nothing. It was our paper towel moment.

Is this the visit he made with Franklin Graham I read about in the news? I saw some Facebook posts claiming he brought several trucks of supplies and a tanker truck full of fuel that he paid for and the post also claimed he donated $4 million dollars of his personal money to the relief effort. I have a hard time believing this and have not been able to find any credible news sources that credits Trump with paying for the supplies, the fuel, or making the donations. If anyone has anything about this, please share.

Also, that weird centaur stance makes it look like he’s either photoshopped into the image or supported by a stick. I can’t decide which.

Ageeed I’ll never do it again.

I really don’t understand the hype about AI in it’s current state.
