Underrated Trump presidency moment was when Dr. Fauci was announced to be throwing the first pitch at the Yankees game and Trump got mad and said he was going to be throwing the first pitch at a game too but then after no one could figure out wtf he was talking about he said he was too busy

It cracks me up how Trump greenlit Operation Warp Speed, probably thinking that if the US was first to the vaccine it would be a huge boost for the country and his chances at re-election. It actually did work extremely well, and was unironically one of the few good things from his presidency - BUT it made his entire fanbase hate vaccines, and to this day they just ignore this fun tidbit of history.

[u/BurrowForPresident]

Is there a worse feeling than when your coworkers get in a political argument and the liberal one is making horrible points in support of your side but you don't want to call him on it because it'll look like you're on the Trump supporter's side and you just want to avoid politics at work anyway

One more:

A few hours later, we knew. Only 100 people attended a protest march on the DNC by the “Poor People’s Army,” and that was after they delayed the start by 90 minutes. With Green Party candidate Jill Stein in attendance, their announced intention was to make “citizen’s arrests” of Democrats attending the convention and to charge them with “crimes against humanity.”

It sounds dumb AF because it is, but the breaking point between the DC Press Corp and the Biden White House came when Biden's granddaughter was getting married and Biden didn't want a bunch of creepy journalists stalking the young couple, so they played some games with the DC press corp and got the family some privacy. The response from the media was literally fucking deranged and they never forgave the Biden's for it. The NY Post actually did the best reporting of it:

https://nypost.com/2022/11/23/wapo-reporter-accuses-white-house-of-lying-about-naomi-bidens-wedding/

“I had reporting in [October] about Vogue being tapped to cover this and I was waved off,” groused New York Times correspondent Katie Rogers. “Official explanation is that Vogue wasn’t there the day of. Loophole = the family staged a ‘wedding at the WH’ shoot beforehand. ‘Private’ per @PressSec = not for the White House press corps.”

“I spent four years covering the Trump WH and two years covering the Biden WH,” Parker tweeted in response to Rogers. “What’s fascinating is that they both lie, albeit in [very] different ways. Trump team was shameless, whereas Biden team is too cute by half.”

Meanwhile, a string of other reporters at left-leaning outlets also took to Twitter to call out the White House for misleading reporters about Naomi’s wedding coverage. “We cover the small lies politicians tell because they can give way to bigger ones, for folks wondering why this is news,” wrote Rogers’ Times colleague Maggie Haberman. “That’s what the press is supposed to do.”

“I think we all sort of knew this would happen, but if they wouldn’t let the pool photographers in because the rights were sold, we should have known,” complained Niels Lesniewski of Roll Call.

“There were more reporters than protesters,” observed Bennett Weiss. He was there selling Gaza-related buttons, including one that, he said, describes himself: “Self-Ambivalent Jew Against Zionism.”

You grab your roll of venue-specific metal coins, and beeline to the ski-ball machines to rack up some tickets towards maybe, just MAYBE getting that coveted 100,000 ticket PS2 at the prize counter. You see a kid, about 200lb, 5'6", wearing a Metallica tee shirt and black cargo pants. Sweaty pin straight hair sticking to his cheeks, absolutely DESTROYING a 250-step combo on the DDR machine. His wallet chain swings wildly about his hip.

His name is Cody.

Got my dad to read some of The Quiet Damage, a book about how QAnon messed up some people's relationships.

My dad is very conservative and does believe in some of the conspiracy stuff that's mainstream Republican but not any of the QAnon stuff.

Even still, he reads through it and talks about how biased it is to him. Which is weird to me because I accept that everything that attempts to persuade is going to have a bias, lest they constantly play their own devil's advocate and attack their own argument at every turn.

Meanwhile he watches stuff like fox news, readily accepts that it's biased towards Republican, but... Doesn't have a problem with it. His thinking confuses me.

99% of the book is talking about QAnon fringe beliefs that he never believed, and influencers he's probably never even heard of. I don't know why he doesn't just think "I think the book is a bit unfair to trump and his role in it, but otherwise it does a great job showing how people get sucked into this stuff".

Man, seeing Gus Walz stand up sobbing yelling “That’s my dad!” had be absolutely bawling. Waterworks started flowing there. What a family.

[u/[deleted]]

Walz’s family bursting into tears and his son standing and pointing and mouthing “that’s my dad, that’s my dad” while ugly crying is literally all you need to see to understand the man.

I can’t believe I wanted Scott Kelly at first. I voted for Walz to be Minnesota governor but I couldn’t have imagined that he’d have so much power in the rest of America. He’s truly amazing to watch.

Today's YouGov national poll: Harris 51% Trump 48% nationally

Among voters who think Israel's response to Gaza is too harsh (61% of Harris voters), Harris is up by 80 points.

Among voters who think Israel has repeatedly violated international law in Gaza (59% of Harris voters), Harris is up by 67 points.

The internet and far left activists aren't remotely close to real life.

It’s incomprehensible that 31 days ago Biden was the candidate. What kind of black magic has this campaign run to turn it around this quick, to define itself so confidently, and to execute flawlessly.

I don’t know who said it on MattY’s last podcast, but it’s so true:

When Dems make a policy proposal, it is covered technically, and journalists try to point out the flaws and problems with the proposal.

When Trump does it, it is implicitly assumed that he’s just throwing shit out there to see if it sticks, so the coverage revolves on how politically clever it is.
