2024 General Election Thread

While we focus on what SCOTUS means for Trump, we forget what Trump means for SCOTUS. If he wins, he could replace Thomas, Alito, and 40+ federal judges over 75 with young zealots.

Trump is the means to the end of an ongoing Federalist Society coup. That coup, in charts:
Since George W. Bush, the Federalist Society’s approval has been a prerequisite for any Republican SCOTUS nominee.
The result? More polarizing nominees, confirmed by senators representing fewer and fewer Americans.

[Many charts follow]

We must acknowledge that the Federalist Society is waging a war for America’s constitutional order—and Trump’s immunity case at SCOTUS could be the last battle, if the J6 trial delay helps him win in November.

Is this like a @Steal Your Face wet dream or what!

He can finally say he supports Trump without compromising his principles!

Just compare Trump and Biden of 8 years ago and them today and it's very clear Trump aged worse mentally and physically than Biden

Hatred rots you. Like Palpatine.

The actions of the Jedi criminal Yoda disfigured our great Emperor.

Yoda's clearly too old.

When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not.

See! He can't even string a sentence together properly!!

When a diagnosis of dementia you receive, eggs tree dinosaur.

Despite lagging some 30 points behind President Joe Biden in the latest polls, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. convened national media on Wednesday to make an audacious claim: It’s Biden who should drop out of the race to stop former President Donald Trump from reclaiming the White House.

“We only have one chance to beat Donald Trump, and we need a nominee who can get the job done. And that would be me,” Kennedy said during a 30-minute presentation on campaign polling at a rented venue in downtown Brooklyn.

Kennedy then called on Biden to take a “No Spoiler Pledge,” and withdraw from the race if he were to perform worse than Kennedy in a head-to-head matchup with Trump in a 30,000-plus person poll in mid-October.

Kennedy said he would be happy to make a similar appeal to the former president as well, but Trump “is not a spoiler because he can actually win.”

Don't smoke crack, kids.

Mark, I am goddamned Luke fucking Skywalker, Hamill gave a press conference at the White House.

I guess getting Mark to do an in person cameo is a way to go. Joe should do something considering he is still losing to Trump and Trump is on trial every day. Maybe he should splurge and get the whole living cast of the old star wars crew to come to the white house? Anything but actually doing something by being president. Maybe he could do a sci-fi convention at the white house. You could have a whole guest list of sci fi actors in Joe Biden sunglasses.

I will give Mark some kudos on trying to make Joe Biden old man wanting to be a pilot sunglasses look cool. I am russhing out to buy those fucking things. The last time I saw someone that cool it was little bush pretending to be a fighter pilot while president.

And they have an ass-backwards opinion of the economy, as usual, so that's fun.

Terrifying, since so few people understand how little the president has to do with it.
Wouldn't it be nice if presidential candidates actuator ran on what they could do, not what uneducated masses think they should do?

That’s an endorsement he can be proud of.

I say, in honor of Mark Hamil, we should now refer to Biden as Jobi-Wan.

Wow, that's some top-tier* talent if I ever saw it.



*By this I mean hack talent.

This explains a lot.

RFK Jr. says worm ate his brain

The wall was too high, as you can see.

No wonder RFK takes more voters from Trump than Biden - he is literally as brain dead as they are!
