MODERATORS
 
  • At 78 years old, former President Donald Trump is now the oldest nominee running for president.
  • Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
  • If she becomes the Democratic nominee, Harris' age could be an advantage against Trump.

I think Kamala should take Trump up on that cognitive test offer he wanted to take with Biden.

Nah, fuck a golf match. Who gives a shit about golf?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Donald does. And he would not take losing well.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's why he will never do it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

If he’s not willing to do what it takes to be elected, he should just quit now.

Don would definitely be Shooter "I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast" McGavin in this scenario.

And it's hosted in Alabama.

And not the Gulf Shores. Central Alabama. Home of 183% humidity.

Hey I'm there and I agree, right here right now would be a hilarious time to see him try to play golf

As your neighbor slightly to the north, you have my deepest sympathies. My aunt had to find temp housing up in Michigan cause it's too hot, even with the AC on blast.

Funnily enough she's staying with this gay couple that rented out their basement to her.

Her KKK husband must be running in his grave, cause they seem to be getting along great!

It doesn't get that unpleasant in Indiana very often, but I live near a golf course and I've seen golfers out in recent weeks both when it was in the 90s but felt like over 110 with the humidity and not a cloud in the sky and also when it was thunderstorming.

Apparently there are some very dedicated, but stupid, golfers out there.

This gave me celebrity deathmatch flashbacks 😂

It's sad they never tried to reboot this, it was such good TV. I assume there's a pretty good reason for it but I would watch the shot out of it.

PSA, you can find a few CD episodes on the MTV Vault YouTube channel. Also, fuck YouTube.

Good fight, goodnight!
