It doesn’t necessarily have to be about a trip you took. It could be about anything, even something you feel you were specifically asked about. Do you think the people who ask you about those things really care about the things you care about the same way you do and so they want to hear everything you have to say? Maybe they do, but it’s really very rare for people to care about things the exact way anybody else does.

Just because somebody asked doesn’t mean they care about the thing. A significant majority of the time people ask, and then actually listen, it’s because they care about you, not any particular thing. And those people probably like to be heard just as much.

I’ve heard rumors that it was leaked by the GOP specifically to get him to drop out before it was too late, but he’s a stubborn Trumper, so I hope they’re enjoying the beast they created.

I wouldn’t say zero penalty; his poll numbers are shit. They were before the story leaked, but nobody seems to be Teflon the way Trump is. He’s possibly tanking North Carolina down ballot, and could even flip the state for Kamala. His political career is surely finished. It would have been before now if the GOP had their way, they tried really hard to get him to drop out.

Do you think everyone you talk to enjoys every aspect of the things you have to talk about? Do you appreciate that they listen?

That is accurate in a theoretical bubble, but in practice, in a two party system, in an incredibly close race, it’s simply not true.

I feel like if you’re unsure enough to ask the Internet about something like this, the safest bet is to just not do it.

Sounds like you’re gonna do it anyway, tho, so good luck.

By your own logic if A wins by 1 vote and you chose not to vote for your guy, B, you essentially gave your vote to A. Good job.

We live in a two party system. Not voting for your guy is essentially a vote for the other guy. Especially when elections are this close.

At this point there’s no way to do it legally. Ballots are already being printed. But legality’s not an issue for Trump and his personal fan club.

I think Vance could step down, then Trump would have no running mate, I think? And a VP would be appointed by Congress if he wins? Idk.

It’s me. I’m that ghost. Or I will be one day.

eBay is my oldest, not sure when exactly, 2001-2002-2003 something like that.

Next is my Something Awful forums account from 2005.

There’s not as many as you’d think, it’s just they’re all so loud and every single one of them has an eyesore of a cybertruck. It’s like confirmation bias.

Austin doesn’t want him either.

Lt. Gov Dan Patrick is on a crusade to end property taxes and replace them with…🤷‍♀️

I didn’t realize Joe Biden was the Prime Minister of Israel

He’s actually been around since the Soviet Union. He perfected the art of invisible paper pushing.

You don’t think he’s spending any of that on his campaign or legal fees, do you? That’s his money.

His fundraising is going historically terrible right now.

I’ve seen lots of speculation that Trumbo is trying to get himself thrown in jail for the publicity of it all. It would result in a huge fundraising boost and conservative outrage, even if just for a short while, and no one wants to give him the satisfaction.
