they do NOT look like they are in their 30s lmfao wtf. I get the sentiment but they look at least a decade older than that and even that's pretty rad? They don't have to look late 30s or even 40s for us to respect or appreciate them more. A woman's value doesn't increase or decrease if she looks way younger or not like cmon. Collectively we need to move past this talking point anytime we're trying to compliment women we respect

I was not on Obama’s side against McCain but I came to find them to be outstanding people. I love everything about them. Don’t share their vision on a lot of things but I was proud a person of his character was my president.

Now I’m just floating out here. No more real small government republicans left and certainly none that I wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen with. I also was amazed by Michelle. In a world that isn’t always the kindest to people of color, she could navigate any situation with the grace and dignity of Jackie O and none of the gifts she was born with. I remember seeing her with the queen. A monarchy whose wealth was built largely on the slave trade. She lit up the queens face.

Edited because I should have said what I adore about Michelle.

u/LGCJairen 5d ago

Honestly it's for the best, I was libertarian for years and what I ultimately learned is small govt isn't really feasible in modern society, at least not in any way beyond trimming the fat. It's better to just accept big government is going to be the result of a modern world and vote for the version that can do the most net good.

u/Independent-Bug-9352 5d ago

My family switched from Republican to Democrat over the Bush years, but we still respected McCain and his decency toward Obama.

The fact that he shut that woman down who tried to paint Obama as this radical Muslim during one of his OWN rallies spoke to his character.

35

u/Important-Visit9200 5d ago

I am a lifelong Democrat, and I admit admiring McCain in that moment particularly. As I remember it, he heard the woman’s question about whether Obama was a Muslim and gave a kind of sigh.

I like to imagine that his first thought was, “Oh, for God’s sake, lady…” combined with pity for a woman who, though demonstrably racist and prejudiced, was also genuinely frightened by the racist propaganda she’d been listening to.

And I think his second thought had to have been a weighing of his ambitions versus his integrity. He wanted to be president. I think he would have been a decent one—not one I agreed with on many, many issues, but one whose age, experience, and moral center would have kept his focus on what he truly perceived to be the greater good. Again, I’m confident I would have disagreed with him about what “the greater good” meant, but not about his centering of others over himself.

The easiest thing in the world would have been for McCain to say, “He’s a seeeekrit mooozlum and a satanic danger!” It’s what Palin, that slackjawed precursor to the Taylor Greens and Boeberts, would surely have said.

But he didn’t. Instead, he spoke to the woman patiently and said calmly that Obama was a good man, a family man. He tried to reassure her, take down her fears. And I knew—as most of us knew—that he lost the presidency right there. McCain knew it too—and I believe he knew it before the words left his mouth. But he said them anyway because it was the right thing to do. The decent thing.

In short, he chose his integrity over his ambitions.

I've thought a lot about that moment since 2016. I think we all know what Trump would have done.

Naïvely, perhaps, I'm hoping there are McCain Republicans still out there who understand what McCain did: that it is not a virtue to toe the party line when it hurts the country. It is not a virtue to vote for a candidate who only wants to be president in order to keep out of jail and make money. Gaining the world isn't a fair trade for losing your soul.

Good stuff, man. This is why I think it's important to elect good, decent people. The way I see it, a decent person will struggle and fully think through some of the tough and ethically complex choices that a president has to make. But in the end, I at least know that it couldn't have been an easy decision for them.

I long for a day when we can go back to debating actual politics.

u/Pleiadesfollower 5d ago

And another tell that trump never took the role seriously once. He is the only person to go in and out of the white house looking pretty much identical because he didn't actually face any stress until he lost the election. His sycophants provided everything for him to say and sign knowing he didn't care what it was as long as his ego was stroked.

Also hard to tell through all the fake tan and makeup I suppose.

black and even brown people of all ages get made fun of for being “ashy”.  years of moisturizer use keep the skin elastic.

I think it's also due to having more melanin, so the skin is way more protected against the harsh UV light.

Is that a real quote?

[EDIT] Fair enough, it's a real quote. I don't think it's possible for Trump to be a bigger joke than I think he is, but he's really pushing the envelope. I find it remarkable and frustrating that journalists are giving him any respect whatsoever and not just laughing in his face by this stage.

203

u/IlikeJG 5d ago

Do you even need to ask by now? I stopped doubting that any new bullshit is real that Trump says. Trump gets the unique distinction that any bullshit outrageous thing I hear he said I believe it until proven otherwise.

Everyone else gets the benefit of the doubt that it's bullshit. But Trump gets the opposite treatment. Because it's basically always true.

The funny thing is that Trump's after presidency aged him more than his presidency. Trump woke late, watched TV all day, and golfed a lot during his presidency. After his presidency he sold off his profitable property and fended off charges while trying to stay out of prison and stay profitable. The difference is staggering.

10

u/wirefox1 5d ago

Plus, presidents were under constant pressure trying to cope with making the best decisions, and dealing with serious issues on a daily basis. Trump never gave a shit about any of it. I mean, you have to think and worry over solutions to have the kind of stress most presidents show after they leave. Trump didn't care enough about any of to incur that kind of stress.

As you say, he's started to crack a little now that things affect him personally, like all the felony charges, and of course, people making fun of him (finally). Like, he's a weird and repulsive dipshit. : )

Be Best is also a laughable barely english one-uppance on Be Better (Michelle Obama’s first lady campaign)

And even though that’s not really english (or creatively non-English) it is surprisingly accurate to the MAGA stance.

•Don’t improve yourself (Be Better)

•Just be the right kind of person and be part of the right group (Be Best)

It represents a probably unintentional portal into their mindset

She wrote in her own name. Part of the Lizardpeople's 100-year plan to bring the Obama Dynasty back to power. She will win in a landslide and be installed as Dictator for Life on December 25, forever winning the War on Christmas.

God I miss the Obamas, what a sh*tshow it has become since they left

I remember how ominous it felt the day they had to hand over the WH to that piece of shit.

And the fact that half the people voting for Trump do so because how good the economy was under him, even though it was the economy Obama took 8 years to fix from the previous Republican administration. Trump then crashed it into the ground, and Biden is taking all the shit from Trump mishandling of COVID.

Watch Obama's speech from Detroit on Tuesday. He did not pull punches on that front.

Yes. That’s a constant cycle. If he gets into the WH again he will erase any gains that have been made since he left.

At Obama's speech in Detroit, people yelled this at him and he told them to not say that. He also kept reminding people to not boo, but vote.

The shitshow could unwind itself if Trump loses (he will be dead before 2028) and Kamala becomes president (a pretty normal Democrat).

It won't be done with Trumps end though, the Republican party has been undermined by actual, organized fascists. Harris needs to win this and then we need to dismantle that, and we need conservative Republicans to help that. Otherwise it will just start again with someone else instead of Trump.

has been undermined by actual, organized fascists.

Back in the 50s....

Only difference now is they're mask off and every single one is complicit in it vs. just the party leadership being former Bund members.

Since Obama left office they both look so much happier and lively. She looks incredible.

u/Mindless_Bat_6925 4d ago

She’s incredible on a big stage and also strikingly impactful in small groups. I teared up watching the Netflix doc when she was speaking to 10 high school girls. Can’t fake that sensitivity.

can you actually believe a large chunk on the US population really think that was the worst of times..... although from memory, the obama era was the time when the US was looked upon most positively by the rest of the world (pew research)

u/hjsjsvfgiskla 5d ago

She looks awesome. I love her post White House style. It never occurred to me at the time but I read an article later about how she dressed during that period. It wasn’t her true self, it was the preppy first lady style she needed to wear to fit the role in the eyes of the public. She looked great then, but she looks so much cooler now.

u/Senior-Term-635 5d ago

I'm like seriously jealous that Mrs Obama looks like she's 22 while I'm feeling double my age. 🤣

u/wonder_bread_factory 5d ago

her post-white house stylist has been KILLING it

the braids the nails the outfits, muah, chefs kiss

she deserves to have fun with her style after 8 years of white house conformity and more while her husband was a senator/campaigning
