    All those young women who didn’t want to choose between old white guys now have a choice: someone who stands up for choice.

    And you’re going to have to debate a prosecutor.

    You’re going to look so weak and whiny either way.

    You just had your best month.

    It’s all downhill from here.

    And someday, not soon, but sooner than you want, you’re going to hear more Guilty verdicts.

    And despite the bandage on your ear, you’re going to hear that loud clang when the cell door shuts.

    Best of all, you’ll be on the hard, small side of that door.

    Alone.

      I’m amused at the notion that Trump’s “best month” includes getting shot at. I hope you’re right and that all the rest of his months are worse than that!

        Trump getting shot is the literal high point of his campaign. There will not be another event that had so much potential to turn his campaign around. If that demented diaper shitting fucknugget can’t even get a sympathetic bump from getting a ballistic ear piercing, his campaign is doomed. Especially since his rhetoric change didn’t last 20 minutes.

          The weakest point of the Trump campaign is Trump himself. He’s a known quantity, and given the biggest shake-up in the last 40 years of presidential campaigns, he wasn’t able to keep up the “unity” facade for a single speech. Just a poor and certainly beatable politician.

          I don’t think anyone honestly believes he was shot.

          His ear would be fucking gone.

          He got it scratched and as unhealthy and old as he is, he has to be on blood thinners. A small scratch blleds like crazy, and the majority of his voters are probably on blood thinners so they know

            This is just nitpicking. Being barely grazed still falls under the overarching umbrella of “gunshot wound”, even if it doesn’t conjure the same mental image as we’d normally have.

            If a soldier on a battlefield gets barely nicked and goes “I think I got shot!” nobody is going to argue about the details.

                I’m aware of that Rule but in this case there’s actual research showing that this is disinformation being intentionally pushed by known bad actors.

                I’ll remove the offending 2nd sentence but it doesn’t change anything.

                Downvoted for referencing the community rules? This community is fucked. Truly fucked. I’ve already unsubscribed, but this is forcing my hand to outright block this shit hole.

            I thought it was confirmed he was only grazed by a glass shard from a teleprompter, not the actual bullet?

      And you’re going to have to debate a prosecutor.

      Everyone seems really enthusiastic about the prospect of another debate, but I don’t think Trump agrees to another debate. Why would he?

        Harris just needs to tell everyone he’s afraid to debate her.

        His ego won’t take it.

          Especially if they lean into the race/gender aspects. Can you imagine how frothed up his base would be at the notion that he’s scared to debate a black woman?

          He should be afraid. Whatever fear he may have, it’s probably not enough. Sleepy Ramblin’ Don is no match for Harris! He’s afraid of powerful black women. He’s too chicken to take her on and too inadequate. He knows it. We know it. Poor weak stupid Don. Sad!

        Yeah, he won’t. The question is how much and in what way he bluffs. I’m sure his campaign is calculating how long he can wait to cancel before the debate time, without TV stations running the time slot anyway with just Harris.

        I’d like to see it personally. But you’re right, it might not happen, he’s already whining that he won’t do it unless the venue is changed from. ABC to Fox News. We’ll see what happens though.

        It’s already on the books for Sept 10. If Donny turns tail, Kamala just gets an open platform with the whole country watching to lay out her platform and point out Trump isn’t there because he is incapable of forming a plan he can stand up and defend.

        It’s a win-win for her, no matter what he does. His only hope is to play the game and not look like a fool…. Is that possible?
