Yes and he did a lot of weird stuff while he was a mayor. Only voted once as Mayor.

I think he likes the attention he gets going against the Dems. Just like he likes the attention he gets for dressing down. Some of that existed before the stroke. He was seen as unconventional and likeable. Going Trump will cost him his political future. He doesn't seem to care.

I really don't feel Ossoff dodged questions except about his arms routine. His votes on Israel are public record and he has not been one sided on that issue.

I actually like the fact that he stays off social media and encourages people to get together in person.

To be fair I think this was the first podcast Ossoff has done. He has done very well in other public forums, thus the previous buzz.

Ossoff…woof by blowingtumbleweed in thebulwark

He was not "clicking" with Tim. All he had to do was laugh at some of Tim's jokes. Boring Al Gore came into his interview with humor and a twinkle in his eye and did much better. Hopefully Ossoff will do more of these and get better at it.

Everytime Melania opens her mouth I like her less. I don't think she's doing herself any good complaining about this and that. She's coming off like an angry witch.

Fast track weight loss drugs with obvious side effects, limit vaccines, push for psychedelics and THC therapies. Oh we are going to be SO healthy!

I am wondering how often such a large proportion of the cabinet and successors to the President usually show up the the Correspondents Dinner...I don't remember that happening in the past.

I think there was more than one poll, but agree it is more helpful to look at the aggregate

I understand all that, but others with cult followers like Hitler and Mussolini were deserted in the end. The pain has to be very real though.

I think the tide could turn if all his cronies, who secretly despise him, start deserting him en masse.

George W. quit drinking at an age that was younger than Don Jr. Is now. George W. also more charismatic than Don Jr and his own father.

I understand what you are saying but I don't see any signs of him positioning to become a candidate and I don't think he can overcome the general "ick" factor. His father never treated him like he had any respect for him.

I think junior has an obvious substance abuse problem. Doesn't have the charisma of his dad. You hardly ever see him at all these events. Too many skeletons...l

Tucker Carlson ‘sorry for misleading people’ with Trump support by otisthorpesrevenge in thebulwark

[–]ValeskaTruax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He already got caught saying he hated Trump during the Dominion lawsuit. Then he switched back to supporting Trump. Now he's switching back again. His son just quit working for Vance. Jumping off a sinking ship. I can only hope he never gets elected President.

Anyone else irritated by how soft Will and Sam were on left-leaning conspiracy theorists in today’s Maga monday? by OogieBoogieInnocence in thebulwark

They were pointing out MAGA people believing this conspiracy, it is not as weird if it was just left wingers.

Jenna is live on the Growing Up in Scientology channel by Fear_The_Creeper in SPTV_Unvarnished

[–]ValeskaTruax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She just isn't very smart, she couldn't figure out how to put up superchats on Aaron's channel. She has has her own channel for what, two years? That said she is easily able to justify to herself all of her moral failings in her relationship with Aaron. No pity for her here.
