I'm not lying when I say I was looking forward to Kamala Harris making a major contribution to the Biden presidency, but she seems almost cloistered away, we hear so little about her. I guess after the circus that was the trump regime (where everyone was an incompetent showman/conman that wanted to be noticed/respected, because most these people were already disliked outcasts) a normal VP is going to feel invisible, the norm is for them to not be very active. If the options are 'overly visible and very obnoxious pence' or someone more traditional, if not very visible, I'll take the less visible.
Honestly, at this point things aren't that ambiguous anymore, the republicans are embracing open racism in the lead up to the midterms, a thing that feels almost unprecedented in US history (not quite, but politicians haven't been this openly racist in my lifetime, and I'm not that young), it's no longer a question of simply 'left vs right', it's become 'delusional racist demagoguery vs a party that is actually trying to govern, even if they have profound corruption issues coupled and are still dominated by an establishment that keeps the progressives at the kids table whenever there is a discussion, though with inflation at least the Biden admin has had to swing a tad left of 'distinctly right of center', because things like legal abortion and marijuana are extremely popular, even among people who don't intend to take advantage of those things. In contrast to the liberals wanting to give rights to people, we have the conservatives who have literally taken away women's rights, and are fighting to take even more, this is very much a 'not really good vs pretty openly evil' scenario.

It's actually not just China, he's starting them with lots of major trading partners, and they each are a blow to the world's economy, and ironically, each one actually weakens the US's position. If the Republicans were smarter, they would have done that over 2 or more terms. Taking on everyone at once, even if the whole world largely is cooperative is going to leave you with long term problems, and this strengthens China and the EU mostly, even with the insanity of the English, forcing the UK to leave the EU. The US has lost global esteem, and it will be a challenge to rebuild, because how can other countries trust that the US won't just elect another Trump-like President? Trump is a bad economic President IMHO, and I'm not unusual in thinking this. Propping things up by reducing interest rates is a very dangerous strategy, leaving very few options when things inevitably take a turn for the worse. If the next President isn't extremely competent, the US and probably the world will be facing a huge recession, if not a depression because of these policies.

Not going to lie, but I'm excited that Karen was in the thumbnail, she always has such great jokes!
Welp, we got there, must say, that isn't the most Karen of jokes, but it did have a wallaby so idk, probably fine? It suffers from 'must be explained', this is clearly an issue of Karen being too smart for the audience. Maybe if she said 'it's how Welsh people say...'? Welsh people have a weird language going on, lots of letters that don't go together traditionally are common pairings, short of going to a small British island you're not going to find a thicker accent in the UK afaik.

I remember when I actually lost a lot of weight, how awkward it would be when someone wanted to talk about it. I didn't mind giving advice, stuff that had helped me, but when you actually lose a lot of weight you realize that it's not what it's made out to be. It's not really hard to be very skinny (even if you're biologically meant to be quite large), it just eats up a lot of your time, meaning poor people can't do it, but rich people can easily spend hours a day improving their body composition. It's hilarious that trump would brag openly about losing such a paltry amount of weight, especially on a body so corpulent (he could easily lose that much in a week or two with dietary restriction, but he has no self control and can't do that), it'd be nice if he'd just say 'I'm on all of the ozempic they could fit in my fat ass' and be done with it, but then he'd be telling the truth and his tiny head would explode (ever consider that he has that stupid hair to make it look like he doesn't have a tiny head?).
It wasn't just the dumb electoral college, it was pretty much a perfect storm for a dumb populist to win 2016, the US was coming off 2 Dem terms, the Dems put forth perhaps their least electable candidate, the repubs had a huge field of entirely dead wood in it's primary, the media gave trump endless free air time and normalized him to the ends of the earth, and finally the FBI showed it's true colours and publicly announced a sham investigation into 'hillary's emails' almost immediately before the election. Some similar efforts have been made for this election (biden isn't a very strong candidate, in part because the media treats him terribly, similar mostly terrible candidates competing in the primary for example), but I don't think trump will be able to overcome how incredibly unpopular he is with the majority of Americans, and while people don't want to vote for biden, it seems likely that they will hold their nose out of disgust for what trump represents and vote against trump in record numbers once again. The thing here is that trump can't afford to lose anyone since most people still hate him.
