At this point, even if we just get the same shit from a different asshole (which we would), I'd be happy to see conservatives turn on trump. It would just be so satisfying.

Fun fact: that event (Hitler's 1934 purge of Ernst Roehm and the brownshirts) got the name "Night of the Long Knives" because Hitler used the expression (which dates to the middle ages) in a subsequent speech to describe what he alleged Roehm had been planning against Hitler and the Nazi leadership. Unexpectedly, journalists and historians used the expression to label Hitler's actions.

an election that at this point doesn’t matter either way

It distracts from the one before it and the one after it.

I used to live in center city Philadelphia and it was very common to see cyclists sailing through red lights, not only without stopping but without even looking to see if there was cross-traffic coming. I just don't understand how they could do this without dying at incredibly high rates, given that cars there don't pay much mind to red lights either. Bike fatalities are very common in Philly, but it's usually some law-abiding cyclist in a bike lane getting flattened by a truck making a right turn.

they literally could forget I’m there their Field of view is so bad

I'm a school bus driver and last year we had an incident where I was behind another bus driver and we were both waiting to turn left at an intersection. While our light was still red, a cyclist rode up on the right and came to a stop right next to the bus ahead of us. I was like "that dude is gonna get hit" and sure enough when the driver ahead of me made her left turn, her tail swing clipped the cyclist and knocked him over. I had tried to warn her but our radios don't work half the time.

The dude was unhurt but irate and after we'd pulled over I had to stand in front of the guy and physically prevent him from climbing on her bus while he yelled. I'm also an avid cyclist and I told him it was entirely his fault for creeping up next to a school bus, which is an even worse thing to do than with most trucks because of how much bus protrudes behind the rear wheels (which causes the tail swing when turning). He of course refused to see this - he cycles around our district a lot and is one of those insane people who thinks bicycling on the wrong side of the road against traffic is a smart thing to do, even around blind turns.

Lol "landed". We are fucking desperate for drivers. So desperate that one of our drivers totaled two cars in one day last year and didn't even get suspended.

One thing I actually liked about my last company was that our team-building events involved great food, copious amounts of alcohol, and edibles. True, I had to bring the edibles myself, but nobody complained.

Thanks, I was trying to think of what movie that was from.

Don't leave Fetterman out of your list. He castigated his fellow Democrats for daring to call Trump a convicted felon, saying we're supposed to be the party of "forgiveness and redemption".

Republicans have been targeting the fifth grade level for decades now. Trump's innovation was targeting the third grade level.
