yeah we're in one of those chaotic moments where all the BREAKING NEWS is unreliable

and it's about to get even more confusing



in my youth, I cherished these moments - anything could happen!
now I recognize that anything could happen is usually grim as fuck

That's when the ability to laugh through the pain really pays off.

Seems Vermin Supreme is doing pretty good.

Funny, since ponies for everyone is basically the exact opposite of Libertarianism.

Yeah. It's great. They found themselves a much more wholesome incoherent demogog than the one currently in office, and a serious "joke" candidate suitable to a joke party.

One of his slogans I've seen tossed around is just brilliant.

"I want to take your guns, and then give you better guns!"

I do hope he manages to break out into the popular culture.

It does doesn't it? At the end of the election he could just unilaterally declare a victory, that was suppressed by Them, go bigger than Norton, and take on that title with nothing to lose and gain real notoriety if nothing else.

One day Vermin Supreme will be upon all lips.

I don't see the Dems winning, but if they did the only one I could see unilaterally declaring their victory being suppressed is the cheeto.

All Supreme would have to do is mirror that and show it absurd. It wouldn't change much, but if the game is baseless accusations and blowing smoke I think Supreme might just have an edge. At the very least he is not boring.

I believe the system is collapsing because everyone has realized how preposterous it is to bother trying to govern at all. We are ready for utopia, as can be seen from the high level of every individual consciousness in the deep south.

And if Trump wins, I think he'll call for term limits to be abolished. As soon as he leaves the Presidency, he's liable to be investigated for a whole lot of crimes, and he'll have to rely on his on wealth, not the government budget, to defend himself.

So of course, he has all the incentive in the world not to step down.

If they, crowing in their arrogance, abolished term limits then round 3 could be Trump v Obama and The Battle of the Antichrists will be on in earnest.

Obama would have to be a total madman to do that though.

The base is already calling for this bc they seem to have forgotten why we hate monarchies.


Alright, so technically the DNC can run anyone they want regardless of the primary results. I won't be surprised if they shoehorn Biden - God help us all - into the candidacy. I predict a fucking root at the DNC convention if that happens but what do y'all think?
