        Your point still stands but only like half the population is of age to run for president so really it’s like 150 million or less. Still a fuck ton of people.

      ^ I can tell who did and who didn’t watch the whole debate. It was awful for Biden.

      Too late to replace him, but I get why people are talking about it.

        If anyone is basing their vote on that debate, or any single debate, they’re not paying enough attention. These two have both had an opportunity to show their intentions in the white house. Anyone still unsure is either lying or not listening

    What’s the opposite of eating the onion? When you read something and assume it must be the onion, because it sounds so dumb. Once onion biter, twice shy?

    Laughing at Trump has gotten old for me. He has bottomed out the level of idiocy so much that it’s just not funny anymore, almost like real-life flanderisation. If anything, it brings me sadness thinking how half of america is somehow more stupid than this guy.

    If this community is going to be just a list of stupid shit Trump is going to say until the elections, I am not sure if I want it in my face every day, especially as a non-american. It must be possible for me to block posts based on words

    Edit: At least on Eternity there is such a filter! I shall see nothing about this arsehole anymore

      Listen, man, just look at social media like once every 3-4 days. It’ll do wonders for you.

    I’m not sure why light would matter, obviously if you’re flying you’d use wind over solar, there’s so much wind flowing around the planes it’d be a much more available and reliable source of power.

    It’s like he takes fragments of memories and tries to make it a policy suggestion.

    Bombing hurricanes was a theory in the atomic age and became an urban legend.

    During a COVID briefing, he read a poster about how to disinfect surfaces and thought they would make suitable treatments.

    With the electric aircraft thing he probably saw a tweet about NASA’s Pathfinder and made a ton of assumptions about electric aircraft.

    It’s an incredibly stupid way to operate as someone who wants to lead the creation of policy.

    Asked what he thinks about a presidential candidate speaking about batteries this way, Sadoway laughed. “Are we talking about the scientific literacy of any candidate?” he said. “I question the scientific literacy of anybody who’s running for president.” He added: “There are so many battery posers out there who don’t know the cathode from the anode.”

    That is an impressive amount of LPS (lies per sentence), even by Trump standards. Some of them have layers, like a nesting doll of lies where each lie has even more lies inside when examined closely.

    This is the kind of thing that “makes sense and agrees with my beliefs” to his audience - people who don’t fly. His party hammers down on flyover state residents to make them think people in planes are snobs. This keeps them from flying. This keeps them from traveling. This promotes the local echo chambers throwing snowballs at the other side’s forts. This is by design.

    Trump’s very interesting for all astrophysicists. His brains seems like a black hole. Some say there’s a whole new universe in it. Some say it’s terrible, no good place to live in, in there. So who’s right?

    Hasn’t he heard of the flights that chase the sun? You can fly fast enough to remain in perpetual daylight, so it’s not really a problem.

    Is anyone surprised that the man that suggested we nuke hurricanes doesn’t understand how battery-powered boats and planes work?

    Just because there’s been an influx of important political news relating to the former president (court decisions, trial delays, etc.) does not mean we need a bunch of “Trump says” articles again.
