Looking at that again, I can't even figure out what he's praying toward. I've been in quite a few churches (I was raised Christian, after all, and moved around a lot), and I just can't figure out where he's supposed to be. Is he facing the back of the church? Is that supposed to be a backwards pew with a kneeler?
Huh. That seems appropriate considering what a douchebag Morrissey seems to be based on the interviews I've seen (OTOH that could all be an act, no idea).hepcat wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2024 2:26 pm Trump is apparently playing The Smiths before his rallies at this point.

Yeah, Morrissey has definitely swung to the right.Carpet_pissr wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2024 3:59 pmHuh.

When asked hypothetically: “If there was a button here that would kill the president instantly, would you push it or not?,” Morrissey, to the surprise of no one who’s been watching him closely in recent months, plainly answered: “I would, for the safety of humanity. It has nothing to do with my personal opinion of his face or his family, but in the interest of humanity, I would push.”
Not even talking about his politics. Just comes across as a grade A asshole.Holman wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2024 5:10 pmYeah, Morrissey has definitely swung to the right.Carpet_pissr wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2024 3:59 pmHuh.

But Johnny Marr (the real talent in The Smiths) has already contacted the campaign and told them to stop playing his music.
I've seen him on youtube (I don't really do tiktok), but he also is a prett good contributor on MSNBC:Hyena wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 12:15 pm Just out of curiosity, has anyone on here ever watched a gentleman by the name of Brian Tyler Cohen? I'm not going to link his stuff just because I'm not THAT big a fan, but he seems to be fairly knowledgeable on politics in a way I sometimes wish I was. He is on TikTok (and various other platforms, I'm sure), and he's got some good takes on current events. He appears to be pretty in the loop with his facts and evidence to support them. Just wondering how widespread his platform is to people that I think would like his presentation.
I agree with his interpretation of the voting so far. What worries me is the lack of enthusiasm for Biden, especially among the demographics that Dems rely on turning out. Too many voters wish they could choose None of the Above. Biden could lose support to apathy at the same rate that trump is losing support to malfeasance.YellowKing wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 2:18 pm I don't think he's wrong in terms of the current snapshot. I just question how many of those "never Trumpers" actually follow through and either stay home or vote for Biden. I felt that's where I had to swallow his optimism with a big grain of salt.
This is how I feel. A lot of his points are being preached to people that already agree with him, and also require faith in a lot of humanity that AREN'T hearing his message. It also relies a modicum of self-respect and logic, which is the other reason I am concerned he might be a bit too optimistic about those on the "right" side...YellowKing wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 2:18 pm I don't think he's wrong in terms of the current snapshot.

Maybe, but when Biden won NH via write-in votes only could indicate this isn't the case.Kraken wrote:I agree with his interpretation of the voting so far.

But Biden is NOTICEABLY worse, mentally and physically since then, both in appearance and in speech/behavior. And I have to wonder how the typical 2020 Biden voter views his stance on the Israel/Palestine situation. I *feel* like that has probably hurt him a bit, but just a guess.YellowKing wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 4:41 pm The one thing that really gives me optimism is that Biden beat Trump (quite soundly) among both independents and moderates in 2020. Trump not only can't afford to lose those demographics again, he needs to increase support among them. And right now the exact opposite is happening.
Well so is Trump, as far as that goes. I'm not sure why the media is focused on Biden's mental acuity when you have Trump over here mixing up Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley, and Biden and Obama. I'll take the occasional Biden stutter/hesitation over Trump's full blown dementia any day.Carpet_pissr wrote:But Biden is NOTICEABLY worse, mentally and physically since then, both in appearance and in speech/behavior.
The price of gas is fine, ironically in no small part to the EVs TFG fought so hard against. Bread OtOH, not so good, and it's not coming back down. However, that's not Biden's fault. Maybe without bread, Biden needs more circuses?Kraken wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 5:37 pm Losing Arab support could cost him Michigan...although the UAW endorsement might make up for that. IDK...consumer confidence is rising, the infrastructure bill's projects are picking up steam, and Biden's really just begun to campaign, so maybe his approval on the economy will tick up somewhat. That's his biggest achilles heel. It's vexing that so many people think trump's economy was much better, when the opposite is true. But people react more to the price of gas and bread than to the unemployment rate or GDP growth, and trump's bluster and swagger plays better than Biden's quiet competence.
+ a gazillion though I don't see the media focusing on this, only TFG support.YellowKing wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 6:02 pm Well so is Trump, as far as that goes.

I'm not sure that's true. Have you seen Trump in action lately? He slurs words and misreads the teleprompter, and when he goes off-script he rambles into unconnected topics that often just peter out.Carpet_pissr wrote: Sat Jan 27, 2024 11:13 am Not sure what else to say. If you compare Biden and Trump in the ‘who seems/appears/acts older’ it’s not even close IMO.
Because it's AI generated. It's what an AI thinks a church background/set should look like.stessier wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2024 1:02 pm I grew up Catholic and I've been in a lot of churches with stained glass windows. That church might exist if it is setup sideways (or I guess he could be in the transept), but that pew is too crazy to exist.
Annoying as fuck.hepcat wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2024 2:26 pm Trump is apparently playing The Smiths before his rallies at this point.
The episode's original music was composed by Bret McKenzie of the New Zealand duo Flight of the Conchords.[6] A full-length version of the original featured song "Everyone Is Horrid Except Me (And Possibly You)," written by McKenzie with vocals by Cumberbatch as Quilloughby and Yeardley Smith as Lisa, was released in May 2021 by Hollywood Records.
I'll be honest, I don't see that. He's older, yes. But he's still incredibly active and mentally fit for someone of his age.Carpet_pissr wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 5:21 pmBut Biden is NOTICEABLY worse, mentally and physically since thenYellowKing wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 4:41 pm The one thing that really gives me optimism is that Biden beat Trump (quite soundly) among both independents and moderates in 2020.
