It will happen again, Biden will get the nom and lose to Trump. book it, mark it, whatever you want to say. It will be Trump vs Biden and Trump will win. Does anyone know where I can place a bet? lol I think they're trying their best to politely show Biden the door, but the polls keep bobbing him up to the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know where I can place a bet? lol Prior to 2016 I was a left leaning liberal (as my posting history proves). Many factors forced me to reassess my own positions/views/understandings, but watching the primary process be so blatantly manipulated in real time was one of the bigger ones. I say that only to dispel the stereotype that left leaning thinking isn't popular down here. Despite the thorns, which are prickly at times down here in the dungeon, PPP largely welcomes all opinion/thoughts/commentary so long as it's backed up with logic and reason. So I hope you hang around, even when we may disagree 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know where I can place a bet? lol At that particular time Bernie would've easily taken PA, MI, and WI over Trump and won the presidency. Possibly Ohio (they reelected Sherrod Brown) and Indiana as well. Hillary and Trump had favorability ratings around 40% at the time. Sanders was around 55%. The DNC deserved what they got.

You’re just not used to this probably. This has been happening for years. She’s just the first pres candidate to follow the youth. I spent the spring and early summer visiting colleges. Nearly every tour guide did this. “Hi I’m Sarah and I use she/her pronouns.” The first time was totally off putting. By the 10th time, I was just hoping someone would make my older brain work hard to match their pronoun preference with my assumption. Alas no one did that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 That time Marianne Williamson officiated Elizabeth Taylor’s wedding. As People magazine noted, Michael Jackson attended; Larry Fortensky’s best man “was Taylor’s hairdresser, José Eber.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a rule about a person's pronouns having to actually be pronouns or even words? What if I wanted my pronouns to be Spectaculous and freezie pop's?

Hedge Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I imagine that you will start seeing this one making the rounds. The uncut video can be seen here: https://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/local-news/live-joe-biden-speaks-at-las-vegas-democratic-event/ This happened at @16 minutes in, and before that Biden mentions that she is his grand daughter. So, judge, if you wish, but do it with the full picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
