Yes, he is claiming it is A.I.
all fake.

But the numbers have changed
Robinson is no longer in the lead

Briefly looked at the CNN post. It looks like a good exposé and very likely legitimate. Also yes, a typical internet shitposter. I didn't get to the part where it mentioned pizza.

I feel like he should accept defeat and let someone else replace him. I feel like British politics are a bit quicker at dealing with the types of issues. Our politics are filled with too much entitlement... (I don't think he would survive the TX GOP... which makes me wonder about Georgia)

he visits adult sex shops in the evening and eats pizza, sounds like governor material to me :laugh:

Some of the things he posted on the porn site were pretty extreme by normal standards. Freedom of speech is a double edged sword :laugh:

I sense a little bit of passive aggression in this post.

And to the post you're replying to by Soldier Boy, Sounds like you agree with his nonsense?

The video that Soldier Boy, took to heart and needed his odd reply is because Trumps side is using humour as the strategy to win and the other side are trying to imprison and assassinate their opponents as a strategy to win.

I know which strategy I favour, and it's the opposite side to you. I prefer humour. But I suppose we're all different.

So that's interesting. They released some letter the "would-be" assassin wrote... in them, are instructions to the entire nation to try to assassinate Trump when he fails and he may award them $150,000 lol.

Here's a question: Where the hell did he get $150,000?... he obviously has money. Machine guns, even in 2002, were not cheap lol.

Now Alf, all I did was point out that it's extremely dumb. I know that some people find dumb things funny so that's entirely your prerogative :hee:. I'm not going to pee on your picnic, by all means, enjoy a chuckle.

It sure is Melanie, God knows who to protect.

Yesterday

Breaking news!

Business man engages in business shocker

Presidential candidate. He is't a businessman.

I saw something about Trump visiting a game. Initially when I saw this, I thought if this were for a hotdog stand, it would be the most American thing I've seen today. But no, apparently it's a knock against the opposing team. Missed opportunity, imo. 5/10. But I appreciate the enthusiasm.

Trump is meant to be a Politician, not a Comedian.

Maybe it is not a British thing(?), but during times of great stress particularly, we really seem to gravitate towards humor more than anything else compared to other cultures as a means to deal with difficult feelings. That may seem disingenuous to some, but internally we tend (it varies some by person) to think the person is trying to help others relax.

I can't speak for others, as this could be an individual thing for me, but I see the process of campaigning itself as a bit of a joke on one hand because of the amount of forced reactions from both candidates and other people. Yes, certain aspects are serious. Like the debates. Humor wasn't a good feeling then at all. But I think people feel stressed in these times and one default way we can deal with it is to laugh at our predicament. Just think about it, all "good" candidates (past candidates who actually won) have to strike this balance. It is part of the role of leadership. If one can't laugh "with the crew" so to speak, ie their skin too thin or self-importance too inflated, we tend to turn on those leaders fast when they fail because part of the role is to comfort the public. Partially because we start to wonder if they are laughing at us rather than "with" us since they aren't doing the typical thing. But again, that might just be an American thing..

I think Kamala has been coached too much to try to emulate this formula (unfair to her really) and the fact she fails to authentically connect well enough with enough of the populace may cost her the election. Almost all of our Presidents have had that unique charm on some level that causes people to relax. (This is where personality politics does matter) Biden is actually funny as hell if you listen to him enough. Bush 2, for all his issues, was cited often for his charm. He reverted to a scowl after some point of receiving so much criticism that the public stopped really resonating with him. (I credit that to the impression that it gave that he not only lacked empathy but couldn't handle criticism, similar to Trump, he tried to make it into an evil press thing..) TLDR: The ability to laugh and smile indicates empathy and showing empathy is hugely important in mainstream American politics. But it's not something that can be simply emulated... and it's not important in every role, but very important in roles where public relations are a critical service to the position.

BTW, most of this isn't really in reference to Alf's response, just the recipe for political humor part of it...

*Basic edits. My touchscreen is trash.

the first thing that people do here is make jokes about disasters etc, it's a basic coping mechanism. People just get way to offended about anything these days

Kamala is meant to be a politician, not an assasin.

I have no issue with a Politician having a laugh or smiling, after all they are Human Beings too.

But I don't know if anyone should be voting for a candidate because they make them laugh, especially if their statements consist of "we need the Mexican Government to help us pay to build a wall between us." And "THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS!"

And I do say this as someone that does find some of the stuff that Trump says to be funny in a car crash way.

Who has Kamala assassinated?

I saw her dodge a couple of uncomfortable questions at the debate, but assassination? No.
