    Amazing. I respect Joe Biden and think he had a pretty good term overall, but stuff like this shows just what’s been lacking.

    On a related note, please let Trump be dumb enough to accept a debate with Kamala.

    I’m not complaining but I’m genuinely wondering if the dnc has been holding this woman back. I feel like I haven’t seen this fire coming from her before and I’m loving it.

      I’m starting to think this was a pre-planned bait and switch. Let MAGA and the Russian trolls waste thier energy and money going after Biden, painting him as old and senile. Then Kamala comes in and goes all scorched-earth on Trump.

      Whether it was planned or not is not all that important though, the result is a thing of beauty.

        It may be comforting to think that, but I reckon it genuinely took them by surprise just how unable he was to perform under pressure. He may be able to hold a normal conversation in a small room with a couple of people, but get the lights on him, him own voice being amplified around and a live broadcast, and the man just wasn’t able to compete. He looked weak and old.

        While Trump lives for that. He’s a fucking gameshow host. His ideal dinner date would be himself, but louder. What he actually says is incoherent nonsense, but he’s loud and aggressive and the MAGA hats lap that shit up.

    Urgh, articles about tweets.

    “So think of it: They get me to that position, and then their campaign says, ‘I’m the prosecutor, and he is the convicted felon.’ That’s their campaign,” Trump said. “I don’t think people are going to buy it.”

    “We approve this message”

    That’s it. Don’t reward a newssite for this shit.

      Eh, it was pretty funny though. And it’s a complete character change from Biden’s campaign.

          They didn’t seem too successful in the news cycle. I still think it would be worth a try if Harris only referred to Trump as “the convicted pedophile”. Like, 1-up the orange Mussolini at his own stupid tactics.

            He hasn’t been convicted of being a pedophile yet. Best we can do without walking the line as regards defamation is something like “convicted felon, found liable for rape, GOOD FRIEND of Epstein who is currently fighting for your vote because it’s the only real chance he has to escape the law and he knows it.”

      I’d rather more people rewarded the news site for it then rewarding twitter by going there directly

        Lol, my neighbor across the way put one of those up in 2020, we chit chat so while watering the garden I said “man I wasn’t going to vote, but because of your sign yeah, go Biden”. I mean I was… But anyway he took down the sign lol.
