    Man idk why you're being downvoted.

    The situation is not good. Pretending it's fine is what we did V Hillary.

    I noticed the debate had the lowest viewership of any debate in history. It makes me wonder how many people out here telling off people who were concerned actually watched the debate.

    I'm not saying we need to pull him out. I'm not saying we don't. I'm just saying we need to fucking come together. We need to stop blindly following our nearest internet silos and take stock in the open market of ideas. We need to be less dismissive. Now more than ever.

    Can we fucking stop the infighting?

    ^ I can tell who did and who didn't watch the whole debate. It was awful for Biden.

    Too late to replace him, but I get why people are talking about it.

    If anyone is basing their vote on that debate, or any single debate, they're not paying enough attention. These two have both had an opportunity to show their intentions in the white house. Anyone still unsure is either lying or not listening

    What’s the opposite of eating the onion? When you read something and assume it must be the onion, because it sounds so dumb. Once onion biter, twice shy?

    This is the guy who recently suggested that using an electric battery on a boat would lead you to get eaten by a shark.

    I once rode in a battery-powered canoe on a lake and had waves smash me into some rocks and all I got was shit in my pants

    It's from a bit he does about solar powered planes, but everything is old and tired now, so he's just skipping parts like a broken record, or mentally degenerating flesh monster finally in its dying stages.

    Laughing at Trump has gotten old for me. He has bottomed out the level of idiocy so much that it's just not funny anymore, almost like real-life flanderisation. If anything, it brings me sadness thinking how half of america is somehow more stupid than this guy.

    If this community is going to be just a list of stupid shit Trump is going to say until the elections, I am not sure if I want it in my face every day, especially as a non-american. It must be possible for me to block posts based on words

    Edit: At least on Eternity there is such a filter! I shall see nothing about this arsehole anymore

    I'm not sure why light would matter, obviously if you're flying you'd use wind over solar, there's so much wind flowing around the planes it'd be a much more available and reliable source of power.

    It's like he takes fragments of memories and tries to make it a policy suggestion.

    Bombing hurricanes was a theory in the atomic age and became an urban legend.

    During a COVID briefing, he read a poster about how to disinfect surfaces and thought they would make suitable treatments.

    With the electric aircraft thing he probably saw a tweet about NASA's Pathfinder and made a ton of assumptions about electric aircraft.

    It's an incredibly stupid way to operate as someone who wants to lead the creation of policy.

    That is an impressive amount of LPS (lies per sentence), even by Trump standards. Some of them have layers, like a nesting doll of lies where each lie has even more lies inside when examined closely.

    Asked what he thinks about a presidential candidate speaking about batteries this way, Sadoway laughed. “Are we talking about the scientific literacy of any candidate?” he said. “I question the scientific literacy of anybody who’s running for president.” He added: “There are so many battery posers out there who don’t know the cathode from the anode.”

    Absolute battery chad

    Pfft everyone knows oxidation happens at the anode and reduction happens at the cathode, this should not qualify me to run for office.

    This is the kind of thing that "makes sense and agrees with my beliefs" to his audience - people who don't fly. His party hammers down on flyover state residents to make them think people in planes are snobs. This keeps them from flying. This keeps them from traveling. This promotes the local echo chambers throwing snowballs at the other side's forts. This is by design.

    Trump's very interesting for all astrophysicists. His brains seems like a black hole. Some say there's a whole new universe in it. Some say it's terrible, no good place to live in, in there. So who's right?

    Hasn't he heard of the flights that chase the sun? You can fly fast enough to remain in perpetual daylight, so it's not really a problem.

    That's a stupid idea. They could just start by flying the plane higher so it's closer to the sun, then the batteries would charge up and they can fly anywhere.

    Is anyone surprised that the man that suggested we nuke hurricanes doesn't understand how battery-powered boats and planes work?

    Remember, this is likely going to be the next POTUS.

    The guy who is following someone else's plan to get rid and cripple regulatory bodies like the FAA.

    Work for the FAA and disagree? That's a secret policing for you, or maybe a public service announcement from the POTUS that he wants you gone. And his rabbid followers will do the rest to you and anyone near you.

    And as an official act, that's okay.
