FWIW this isn’t always true. A few months ago, I needed to add an email to my Zelle account on Chase, and had to call them. I initiated the call and they did issue a text message verification to the phone number in my account while on the phone to confirm.
Wow TIL about the use of underscore in an interactive session.
“Winning the battle is worth losing the war”
(Trump, The Art of the Deal, pp. 179-181)
If I told my boss I have concepts of a plan during an important call with clients, I’d be fired. The fact he said this thinking it would absolve him of having to actually outline actual policy shows how empty the campaign is on anything of substance.
I have great hopes for this meme and hope it is as influential as “binders of women” in showing the absurd thinking behind the most important job in the world.
Trump has been the wildcard and basically gone against every norm for someone running for office. In 2016 that was more unexpected and the electorate had a clear anti-establishment candidate they could get behind (even though he lost the popular vote).
I think the trick has worn off and we now know how to deal with his antics, plus he’s aged and less coherent. Also he was the establishment for 4 years, and can’t be the wildcard candidate he once was.
I think Vivek Ramaswamy was trying this playbook during the Republican primaries but failed to account for the cult of Trump and the racism in the party. Maybe it would have worked against someone who wasn’t a former president or if Trump was sent to prison sooner.
I see I misread this and skipped the NOT in the meme, so thought this was pro racist couch fucking. Thanks for clarifying.
Now do VHS vs. Beta Max. Better specs don’t always make a better product. This is coming from someone who uses Android, 3 or 4 of the specs I don’t really care about. posts like these just divide us into tribes and that’s not useful for anyone.
I guess I never thought about this but are the alec baldwin and harrison ford Jack Ryans the same person? Ben Affleck was assume is a reboot, but now I don’t really know.
The issue isn’t really people on the fence for Trump or Harris but mainly with generating turnout. After Biden’s poor debate performance, people didn’t change their mind and decide to vote for Trump, they became apathetic and maybe wouldn’t show up to vote.
Harris doesn’t need to persuade people to abandon Trump, she needs to get people excited to show up to vote.
I feel like I know all the references here but am still really confused. Is this pro-Trump/Vance? The up vote to comment ratio (on my instance) is high which is sus. What’s going on?
One of Vance’s former friends detailed the downfall of their friendship as Vance rose in politics. Despite their differences they were still friendly until 2021. Full article : https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/27/us/politics/jd-vance-friend-transgender.html
During their last text exchange that was outlined in the article, they had this to say:
“I know I can’t change your mind but the political voice you have become seems so far from the man I got to know in law school,” wrote Nelson, later explaining their position “as a trans person who accessed needed health care so I could live a full life.”
It does seem like Vance did 180 from someone equating Trump to Hitler to Trump’s running mate in just a few years.
Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but I’d say the mystery of the dead bear cub in central park 10 years ago. This was minor news back then and basically was forgotten about, until RFK Jr. (former third party presidential candidate) admitted to being the person behind it, confessing it to a confused Roseanne Barr.
Not sure the genre or trope, but Poker Face (and 6 Feet Under), the additional subgenre for me is “who’s gonna die in the first scene”.
36 minutes?? TL;DW? I skimmed through and it’s just two people talking (with a lot of background noise), maybe about AOC? It didn’t seem to even include any clips or other first hand sources of what she said.
What do you mean building our own systems?
These are probably comments on this Veritasium video which actually pretty informative.
That being said, I also live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.
Even as your Boeing flight is falling out of the sky, they find a way to fail you one last time.
I think generally anything that is considered an attempted <whatever>, the judicial system takes into account the intent of the person who is being accused. If the intent was to assassinate Trump, and the person had everything they needed to do it, and would have done it if they had not been stopped, then a real attempt was made.
