I imagine their influence works somewhere along the lines of "Comply to our demands or we set fire to your cities."
A more relevant scene would be when Lisa tries to insert herself into a football team simply to attack the (nonexistent) gender divide in it.
She's an idiot, yes, but that doesn't mean she couldn't be recruited or planned the whole thing out herself. By all accounts, this assassination attempt went absolutely perfectly, and it was only through the dumbest of luck that it failed so spectacularly at the very end. Who knows what state the country would be in and what the Democrats would be doing right now had Trump not turned his head ever so slightly at the deciding moment. Most likely activating emergency powers to take away even more American rights, further reinforcing the election process to go their way in the future, and using the MSM and Big Tech to shut down anyone and everyone who dared to question whatever narrative they were going to push. It's easy to imagine in that case, the conspirators would all be functionally protected. But whatever was going to happen, they were completely blindsided by Trump's miraculous survival, all plans they had in mind had to be hastily scrapped, and whatever executive protection Cheatle was banking on never came because they were more than willing to leave someone as expendable as her high and dry in the fallout.
Or she was always set up to be the fall guy and wasn't smart enough to realize it. Whatever, I'm just spitballing possibilities.
Well, she better start thinking about covering her ass now, because I have a feeling Clinton's people (or Obama's, or Jill's, or whoever's been running Joe's administration) will be seeing her in the near future.
The hearing against her was kinda sad. She was looking and acting like a kid struggling not to cry while be yelled at after getting caught committing some mischief. She had no idea what to do about this at all, how to speak, or what to even say for herself while she was being grilled. Not like your typical politician at all. If the Trump assassination was an inside job, then she never once considered how she was ever going to cover her ass.
Resigning in shame is not where it should end for her though. She still needs to be investigated. We have plenty of reasons to think this was an inside job and that she would be in on it if it was.
If the Cackler gets nominated, the Democrats' will probably pick another non-white person as their Vice President just to double the DIE and wacism angle.
"Screw you guys. I'm goin' to Camp David."
Are they wrong in believing they're stupid?
For all we know, Cameltoe's the one who wrote that. Joe certainly couldn't.
Nah, I think the Democratic party is in complete disarray. The assassination attempt, whether it was a party-backed inside job or not, threw a monkey wrench into their plans, which were already falling apart since the debate. Trump is surging in popularity like never before and all the media's attempts to attack or downplay him are falling flat. Biden is looking and getting worse with each passing day, and their attempts to salvage him with things like the Ukraine presser and the Big Boy conference backfired horribly. The Democratically-aligned Secret Service and their DEI hires are getting unwanted attention. And the party itself has been divided over what they should do with Biden, and more than that, who they should replace him with. Whatever they're doing right now, it's being done in haste.
If Trump's smart, he'll shift the focus to how the Democrats as a whole hid Joe's dementia for years, attacked the people who pointed it out (going up to trying to coin a new buzzword with "cheap fakes") and grew louder about it in the days leading up to the debate.
And just yesterday, he said he was not dropping out. But then, this does line up with what was said earlier this week, when it was claimed he would officially be making his announcement of leaving the race this weekend. Which all goes to show that none of this was his decision. Grampa's too far gone, has no idea what the hell is going on anymore, and won't stop yelling into the mic, which he's been trained to do because it gets him ice cream. So where the hell is his ice cream?!
A shame; I was hoping he'd drag this out all the way to Election Day. The longer he stays in the race, the more disunity he would sow in the Democratic Party. Plus, Trump's going to have to change the gameplan in his campaign, since he can't rely on pointing out how sleepy and useless old Joe is. And I dread what new candidate the Democrats will put up; it could indeed be someone who will rally voters, or at least make the race close enough that the Democrats can safely cheat again..
All I can conclude from this is that the kid on the right is a retard who's too stupid and/or lazy to just move his ladder to the side of the tree where he can reach the apples.
Might be he really is sick, but from all the drug cocktails they've pumped him with over the past few weeks in a feeble attempt to pep him up and make him presentable. They clearly went into overdrive with them for his Big Boy press conference (and the Ukraine one just prior), considering that was the only time in his term where Biden actually walked with purpose and without any chaperones or that confused old man shuffle he always does. Covid could likely just the convenient excuse they're running with to hide that.
Did they conduct the test in both his nostrils?
Channeling the spirit of his hero, Karl Marx, with that beard. That, or maybe a lifetime of drugs and alcohol have finally caught up to him and ravaged his once boyish face.
We all know Kung Fu Panda's made for Chinese audiences.
Least he doesn't have a long or beak-like nose. In fact, from the side view, it doesn't look like he has a nose at all. He must have had to tape his glasses on.
Bangs?! They're calling gunshots bangs now?! What would they call a bombing on Trump? A boom-boom?
Whether you like Trump or hate him, you gotta admit, he handled that really coolly. He reacted as though he was just bit by a mosquito before realizing what was up and hitting the deck. And when he's being hauled off by his bodyguard, he still fist-pumps for the crowd. Definitely a stronger showing than everything Biden's done without anyone shooting him.
Even his criticisms on Biden are laced with attacks on Trump. Leibowitz doesn't hate Biden because he's a senile old fool who's not qualified to run a lemonade stand let alone the country. And he certainly doesn't hate him because he and his whole family are crooks who've been selling us out to China, throwing open our borders, compromising our national security, and getting us involved in more foreign wars. Leibowitz hates him because he's helping to usher in a second Trump term (and because his masters are telling him to).
And now, in the Big Boy Press Conference, he just said he "wouldn't have chosen Vice President Trump as Vice President if [he] didn't think she (sic) was qualified."
To think, Trump has been Vice President AND a woman ALL this time!
There IS reason for the racism in The Witcher, but getting a greater understanding of the context behind it requires either some deep-diving into the lore and in-game literature, playing the previous games, and/or reading the books. In short, racial tensions always existed between elves and humans that resulted in a lot of bloody battles in the past, with the results being the former losing an entire generation of fertile youths (elves live longer than humans, but have a considerably shorter fertility window) that left their population in sharp decline and made way for the fall of their civilization. Those hostilities have still left marks on both people, and many elves refuse to integrate with their human conquerers but also lack the basic agricultural skills needed to form their own communes, so they act as thieves and brigands, which in turn drives humans to be more hostile to them in turn.
As for Dwarves, well, many of the biggest banks in the Northern Kingdoms are owned and run by them, Vivaldi being the most notable. Take that for what it's worth.
Furthermore, five years before the first game began, when Nilfgaard launched a second invasion on the north, it commissioned and made high promises to disenfranchised nonhumans to spur them into assisting the empire, leading to the formation of the Scoia'tael which engaged in guerilla warfare all across the North. And even after the war ended and Nilfgaard left them high and dry, the Scoia'tael is still active and still engaging in banditry and other mischief (which we openly see in the first two Witcher games), which is doing nothing for race relations, and in turn makes humans suspicious of their nonhuman neighbors. Said suspicion is also not always unwarranted because a lot of said neighbors are in fact Scoia'tael sleeper agents. And by the time Witcher 3 begins, Nilfgaard is launching a third invasion, which is doing much to drive up more racial paranoia; they're not employing the Scoia'tael anymore, but the common (and ignorant) man doesn't know that, and considering the Scoia'tael recently partook in a number of actions that further weakened the north, like assist an assassin in killing King Foltest, and taking advantage of the unrest in Aedirn to form a new independent nation in it, well...
Don't buy Leibowitz's bullshit for a second. For every safe, half-hearted, and media-approved "joke" he throws at Biden's expense, he will throw at least five towards Trump and his supporters, going on how he's also old, senile, and decrepit, alongside being a liar who LIIIIIEEEEESSSSS and is EBIL! And January 6th! Can't forget January 6th.
He is not rebelling against the Democrats. He's just jumping on the latest corporate-approved bandwagon (as he always has), likely at his masters' behest, and pretending that he never saw what we were fully aware of for at least five years.
Like black ghetto trash. Hmmm...
