      And just like that there’s a plausible scenario where The Undertaker comes out of nowhere and saves Democracy by choke-slamming them both through a podium.

        Republican Mayor Kane comes out, tombstones the undertaker and is declared the new secretary of state.

        Yeah, I’m more-than-tired of having an ongoing circus.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Coolidge

        During his presidency, he restored public confidence in the White House after the many scandals of the Harding administration.

        As president, Coolidge’s reputation as a quiet man continued. “The words of a President have an enormous weight,” he would later write, “and ought not to be used indiscriminately.” Coolidge was aware of his stiff reputation; indeed, he cultivated it. “I think the American people want a solemn ass as a President,” he once told Ethel Barrymore, “and I think I will go along with them.” Some historians suggest that Coolidge’s image was created deliberately as a campaign tactic, while others believe his withdrawn and quiet behavior to be natural, deepening after the death of his son in 1924. Dorothy Parker, upon learning that Coolidge had died, reportedly remarked, “How can they tell?”

        I’d kind of like things to look a bit more like that for a while.

      Would that be the first VP to shit on a woman that he forced to have a threesome with one of his employees?

    McMahon has not stayed in contact with WWE leaders, but has been in touch with John Cena and Dwayne Johnson, two of the wrestling outfit’s biggest success stories.

    So that’s where The Rock’s the both sides / no Biden came from.

      Yeah that’s why I got pissed that the Rock was brought in to WrestleMania. How are you gonna fight off the stink of Vince McMahon, by bringing in one of his best friends and biggest stooges? The Rock doesn’t care that McMahon is a rapist, he’ll take a bullet for him

          That’s definitely not cool but he still worked for Vince at the time so I gave him the benefit of the doubt of just doing what he was told for his job, again that doesn’t make it right but it’s still different. Because now he ain’t beholden to Vince or the WWE if he doesn’t want to be, both are choices and one could’ve potentially been by compulsion. When you do 300+ make a wishes and I give you one mulligan on possibly not being a piece of shit

            Well Cena has defended Vince every time he’s been charged with rape or sexual assault. He’s a piece of shit.

      You are looking too much in to it. The rock is extremely rich and those people tend to vote republican 99% of the time.

      What?

      All he said was that hes can’t endorse him again like he did in 2020…

      He said he had friends who support Biden and trump, but then clarified he had friends who vote Democrat, but none of them were really fans of Biden.

      Which is valid. There’s not many people hyped to vote Biden because of Biden, they’re voting D despite Biden because trump is worse.

      Which is an accurate representation across a lot of demographics.

      People don’t really like Biden, which above all else is what makes him a bad candidate. Just like Hillary.

      If Biden was a good candidate, it wouldn’t have taken him 40 years to win his first Presidential primary.

          I think you’re confused…

          Pretty much the only way to qualify being a good candidate is winning elections.

          And in our system it’s just two candidates. So sometimes it’s two good ones, sometimes it’s two bad ones. Very rarely it’s one of each and a landslide victory.

          A good candidate gets people to vote for them. A bad candidate doesn’t. But if they’re bad enough, people vote against them.

          But if both parties run candidates bad enough that people vote against them, the Republicans usually win.

          By playing their game and compromising with a bad candidate who isn’t as terrible as Republicans, we’re just hurting our chances.

          We need a 2008 Obama candidate and trump wouldn’t stand a chance in hell. Any progressive leaning Dem under 45 could moonwalk into the White House and accomplish anything Biden manages but without the progenocide shit.

          Hell, I think Pete would be a much worse president, but he’s 100 times the candidate as Biden and could easily beat trump. Besides Hillary I’m struggling to find a big name Dem who would do worse than Biden, maybe Manchin or Pelosi?

    Vince McMahon is liquifying his assets recently, to the tune of like 1.5 billion. Everyone wondering why he needs that much cash, and I was thinking it’s probably for Trump, to either bail him out or get him reelected. Rapists stick together

    Scandal plagued? You should talk to Trump! If anyone can help you avoid scandal, it’s DJT.
