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
I don’t think anyone honestly believes he was shot.
THAT is known propaganda being pushed by Russian and Chinese bots.
Kindly refer to community rule #3.
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.
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 thought it was confirmed he was only grazed by a glass shard from a teleprompter, not the actual bullet?
That was reported by the police initially to two news agencies that have since retracted the articles.
I’ve seen rear video of the podium when he was shot. Neither teleprompter made a bobble
Please explain to me what you think happened that day.
Piece of glass shrapnel hit his ear.
I did see TMZ reported that but I never saw it confirmed. I think that’s definitely plausible. The other poster is implying that the whole thing was fake, which at this point I think we can for sure rule out.
He scratched he’d his ear, I just said that in more detail…
What part are you coming infused about?
So he scratches his ear and a guy behind him drops dead. Wow, Trump really is a god.
You think a bullet passed thru his ear and killed someone?
Reading this gave me good feels, thanks for the morning endorphins.
Kamala does seem like the type that would go hard on those fuckers if she gets in. Lets hope.
As hard as she went on the prisoners she refused to release when their time was up? Or as hard as she did on truancy?

Ad hom attacks because you can’t justify her record?
Oh my lord. That was beautiful.
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?
Ego.
Should we review her record as a prosecutor?
As Putin would have it, it shall be done
She’d better start at 150%, going out the gate guns blazing, sights focused on being louder than the Republicans are used to.
The Dems are too soft spoken; they need to be more fierce, especially against the trump party of the last few years.
I hate to engage in stereotype, but I really hope Kamala Harris plays up the black woman trope of being vocal and adamant about calling out the bullshit they know everyone can see. We’ve had too many white male presidents who embody the white male trope of failing upwards.
That would be really interesting and fun to watch. But cue the “You see this angry black woman 🖐️, typical black woman, we all know it 🫲🫱, totally unhinged👌, imagine the damage she would do, clearly 🫲🫱 unfit to be president.”
The hands really sold it for me holy shit that’s hilariously awful.
I don’t think that kind of response will sway any voters toward Trump who were otherwise undecided, and might push more black Trump voters (I doubt there are many of them left) to switch to supporting Kamala instead
There is an astounding number of religious black Trump voters. It’s disheartening.
You say that like this isn’t the game plan no matter what Harris does. Why concern yourself with what Republicans will do when you already know it will be the option only a huge piece of shit would pick?
I think in this case it would be flexing her DA skills.

the messaging, the advertising, the microtargeting, the ground game, the mail pieces, the digital engagement, the social-media maneuvers—was designed to defeat Joe Biden. Even the selection of Ohio’s Senator J. D. Vance as Trump’s running mate, campaign officials acknowledged, was something of a luxury meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail-biter.
The mentality of this Trump campaign, LaCivita once told me, is to spend every day on offense. The team wants to shape the pace and substance of every news cycle and force Democrats to react, ensuring that key battles are fought on the GOP’s chosen terrain. It worked so well that Biden was ruined before his party’s convention. Now the Trump operation is vowing to destroy Harris—if, in fact, she becomes the nominee—in much the same way.
And yet, for a campaign that went to bed Saturday believing that it would dictate the terms of the election every day until November 5, Sunday brought an unfamiliar feeling of powerlessness. For the first time in a long time, Trump does not control the narrative of 2024.
Good. Fuckem. Live in fear, and hopefully, in a supermax in the near future.
Man, I hope he falls back into his victim role and can’t get out anymore. 100% of this man is charisma for some reason.
