Sorry to hear that dude. My mom went through it in 2018-2020. She's the ultimate do-er, up and at 'em everyday at 6am and doesn't stop and it was devastating to watch what cancer did to her during the worst of it when she no longer could for a while. She was able to recover but I now truly understand how hard it is on everyone. Hoping for the best for your mom as well.

I think Vivek had a shot to do that...but some of his stances are not going to be popular with the independents and Democrats, like raising the voting age or creating a mandatory test or civic duty to have the right to vote before the age of 25. I do think he has a much better shot at winning some of the other side than DeSantis though. While I don't agree a lot with DeSantis...I understand the philosophy that most of his fans have that this should purely be about policy. But that's just not the reality we're in. Trump has much more charisma and when it's head to head he's going to make fun of DeSantis, he's going to outwit him, he's going to be funnier, and he's going to be the bigger celebrity. And many more of these other candidates and Republicans are going to bend the knee to Trump than they will for Desantis. As much as people want to say this stuff shouldn't matter...it does. I still think Trump wins the GOP easy.

I didn't watch the video but if that question was asked in the way it was quoted...it's a trash question. You can believe that 9/11 was not an inside job and still also at the same time believe the government did not tell us everything about it. That's one of my issues with these extremists, there's zero room for nuance.

I honestly don't know how all these polls work...but I'm wondering where are all these other news places (including independent Conservative media) are getting this stuff from during the last week when they were putting up headlines saying Vivek was basically tied with DeSantis for 2nd? Is what they do completely different than what these guys do?

Looks like he was back out there. Some people are saying mini-stroke. Maybe he took half of a vaccine.

I'm pretty sure they had started to distribute at the end of his term, starting with hospitals/nursing homes and elite rich people of course,if I remember correctly. But regardless he was still saying the same thing about the vaccine being completely safe and effective and was encouraging everybody to go get the shot well into the summer of '21 and even after and wanted credit for "Operation Warp Speed". https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-urges-all-americans-to-get-covid-vaccine-its-a-safe-vaccine

What answer to you would not make him a total hypocrite or liar?

Sure, but so much of the Pro-Trump argument from his supporters is that he’s an outsider, a man of the people, and not part of the corrupt circle of politicians

Ignorance doesn't excuse Trump, it would have been different if he had said at the time that he knew nothing about this topic and was just following marching orders. He didn't, he told us the exact opposite of that and told everyone how incredible and safe this vaccine was and encouraging it to the point of just stopping short of a mandate. And I don't square any of that with Biden/Harris. They're trash and it's 100% hypocritical. I didn't vote for them in 2020 and I'm not going to next year. I'm a My Body/My Choice guy on both the vaccine and abortion unlike most of the Left or Right.

Because that still wouldn't hold up. He claims he's not influenced by the corrupt government and he put his own personal stamp on the vaccine and did it dozens of times.

Question for the Trump backers...with all their stuff about how vaccine from the Left is causing myocarditis, moreso now with Bronny James, and how horrible the vaccines are...how are we squaring that with supporting Trump who assured us a gazillion times that the vaccine was safe and encouraged everyone to go get it? I don't remember if this was his direct quote but at one point didn't he even go as far as to say something to the effect of "this isn't Fauci's vaccine, it's MY vaccine!"

I guess it almost could've passed for a Bernie ad instead when you put it that way

You apparently don't think his own staffer retweeting that has anything to do with him...I think it does when he doesn't do anything to distance himself from it. They don't originally create a lot of content that they put out there, many times they just share it, just like all the campaigns. You can be outraged by whatever you want, I call it out when it's not consistent. And I've done it plenty against the "Left" as well because they're wrong quite a bit these days too.

Given the guy is an actual governor of a state...I hope that's the case. A less extreme version of this pretty much existed in his other video though that "attacked' Trump for not closing down Pride parades or whatever very important Presidential things he did against LGBTQ+.

When a member of his team retweets it? I don't think so. Wasn't there the same question over the LGBTQ one on whether they actually made it or not? They shared it, and then DeSantis basically claimed it as part of the campaign and said it was fair game.

I do think overall that DeSantis has really hurt himself with his culture war obsession and at times actually ripping on Trump for being more moderate. I don’t think that strategically even makes sense on the National scale. I think Trump continues to blow him out of the water and actually will do so much damage to him by the end that DeSantis won’t even be a real candidate for ‘28. I see Vivek easily surpassing him during this cycle and for the future.

I think it’s a gray area. It’s his staffer that retweeted it and he hasn’t denounced it to my knowledge. Campaigns claim content they endorse all the time that they didn’t create themselves. I actually waited for a while to comment on it to see if they said anything to distance themselves from it.

Pure deflection. I’m not a vaccine-pusher. In fact I was against many of the Left’s COVID mandates and didn’t live under lockdown at all. You can agree with someone’s COVID’s stance and still disagree on social issues. I don’t like DeSantis at all and would agree that he overall had a better COVID stance than most governors. It’s something called objectivity.

I’m saying it certainly looks like he doesn’t care about being associated with one if it’s true his own staffer retweeted that video If one of my staffers retweeted that, if that’s true, I would have something to say about it if I was against the messaging.

DeSantis’s own campaign video had him leading marching troops to him in front of a Nazi symbol and none of his supporters find this troubling? The amount that people are willing to turn a blind eye to because they’ve already chosen a side is simply stunning.

I would agree with that…but where’s the same callout for Fox News having Kayleigh McEnany and Dana Perrino as very integral parts of their news coverage?

I would still say an $80 mil opener for a 3 hour historical biopic is still really good tho

I haven’t seen it but have heard there is some satire and self-awareness, it’s possible that could’ve gone over some heads. I heard a part near the end that suggests this but I won’t spoil it here. The interesting thing is there’s a lot of reviews on YouTube from people saying it’s ultra woke and feminist while also saying they haven’t seen it or never would. Which is fine but I don’t know how they could then have a fully formed opinion.

This petty outrage is what I’d slam the far left for doing for a long time, but as Conservative media has grown, we’re seeing the exact same thing come from them. Many of them were angry about there simply being a trans actor in this movie, 1 out of 70+ actors…and I haven’t seen it but from what I’ve read there is no pushing of child surgeries or anything like that. These are the same people that would hit the Left for not waiting for the facts to play out, which I agreed with, but this is the same exact thing. It’s either that or they don’t even think a trans person should simply be allowed to even exist in a movie, or probably exist at all. And I said the same thing about people who went back and called the first Ace Ventura movie “transphobic”. It’s a silly comedy, that’s all.

I’m glad we were able to get this whiny take from this Poso clown who was a pizzagate fraud boy…about a Barbie movie. I’ll repeat…a supposed grown man complaining about a Barbie movie being feminist. Simply stunning.
