He claimed 0 assets. No stocks, no interest earning bank accounts, no mutual funds, no CDs. That's awfully suspicious.

Is he married? Maybe all of it is in his wife’s name.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

I support that's possible.

Yeah. Maybe the most important word here is "claimed".

Is he not 3rd in line? Also there is a currently a member of congress being investigated because they claimed on their campaign finance forms to have loaned their campaign $350,000 despite not having a savings account. Pretty weird if you ask me

Biden is the president

Harris is first in line should Biden leave office

Johnson is second in line, behind Harris

So you're telling me that either Mike Johnson has a wad under his mattress, or is somehow the most based cryptobro in politics? Someone should.... investigate.... this.

Vance shoots his wad in his couch

And the pennies caught between the cushion hold more value than his deposit.

Any time Mike Johnson shoots a wad, his son gets a notification about it.

Idk why but the line of attack with weird isn’t really doing it for me.

But it doesn’t matter much because I’m far from the average voter and they already earnt my vote 5 times over.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

It’s dismissive and invalidating, which really does work on T regardless.

When Walz delivered the line originally it landed really well. Ultimately, the point is to impact the conversation enough so the people who aren't very plugged in hear it, which I think has worked. I don't think many people here needed to be convinced not to vote Republican

It seems to work on the people for whom Trump being a complete lunatic, obviously suffering from dementia, trying to overthrow US democracy and being in league with their country's biggest enemy doesn't work. So, I'll take it

[–] [email protected] 50 points 8 months ago

It's being overused. However The Speaker of the House of Representatives not having any bank accounts is best described as weird.
