People that you've never heard of, people that are in the dark shadows -- US Politics September 2020

Dissing a glaring political rival and brown-skinned war heroes is fine, as is sneering at dead losers (because they died, you see), but when you pull a 'no military lives matter', shit starts to hit the fan.

Lol Gaetz is just epic. Maybe I should give Ehr some more money

idg why bad-mouthing the military is sticking to trump *now*?

I've been pondering the same thing the past 24 hours, and I think

Or maybe the prominence of this story in the media has no relation to whether it is *sticking to Trump* any better this time than it did before, when the media gave it plenty of play

might be a reasonable interpretation--i.e., it's not going to appreciably change many votes.

But--I don't know if anyone's ever studied this, or even how you would--it may have value as one of those distractions that pop up in the last couple of months. I'm sure Trump's side would rather not be wasting time with denials and saving Stars and Stripes when there's so many other lies to be lied.

it might not “change votes” per se but my gut tells me it might drive down right wing turnout

Already posted, yo.

That Photo for September Thread Title.

Drain the swaamp

swamp the drain

someone should start a thread to merely catalog the number of bootlickers

U mean boatlickers

It would be easier to catalog the non-bootlickers

The Texas Boats sinking thing has appeared on Fox news already, somebody shared it on Facebook.
Would have thought it might be something they'd try to bury or at least not highlight.

Not going to post this in the containment thread because I know it doesn't mean much, but there were a lot of Trump signs....and a surprising number of Biden signs on our drive through small-town PA today to go hiking.

We all know that outside of Philly and PGH all of PA might as well be Kentucky, but it was an interesting time getting to the trailhead

Looks like the boat version of the car accident in John Prine's Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore.

Omg

HAARP in action!

Ok so plenty of people joking about HAARP being used to sink Trump boats but guys, I think some people are serious... pic.twitter.com/h9Rmk0PhRR

One thing that's weird about the military flare-up is how much time the media is spending on corroborating everything. I realize they want to remain tethered in facts and reality, but I'm not sure such due diligence is necessary at this point; no one doubts the truth of any of it, except people for whom corroboration won't matter.

NEW: In upcoming book, Michael Cohen writes Donald Trump's disdain for Obama was so extreme he hired a "Faux-Bama" to participate in a video in which he "ritualistically belittled the first black president and then fired him." He includes this photo: https://t.co/LGrqsUUrY2 pic.twitter.com/otwYW8VSmQ

lmaoooooooooooo

What a petty little bitch.

Who's the actor? I want to check his IMDB page and see if he was properly credited. (There's a tiny part of me that believes work is work and is reluctant to criticize.)

Here's the video. This was a subplot in 2012 that was pretty well known, but since Trump was just Trump-the-TV-guy at the time, it's understandable that people missed it. https://t.co/GIxiH54ati

I wish left twitter would turn off the Lathe of Heaven.

Am I the only one who thinks that this may have filled in the BLANKS of the Romney candidacy at the end of the race??? If it was even possible to counter the ballot box stuffing of the stolen election by localities to get the right electoral votes...at least this could have helped. Way to go GOP. Stupid #RINO

i thought everyone already knew about this? i'm pretty sure this is the same 2012 video i have in my own clip archives.

here's a short twitter length video clip. i also just uploaded the full 3:42 long video here too: https://t.co/QtmCH1xM5ghttps://t.co/81Yu1crwtf pic.twitter.com/O610NmZMB7

Amazing he never tweeted out that video.

I know trump is predictable but that is still very funny

Is it really, though?

Because no, it really isn't.

It’s an inside joke

I mean the p4reene thing not the video

sheesh

It is incredibly funny that this didn't make the cut for the 2012 GOP but Clint Eastwood yelling at a chair did.

^^Probably the real reason Trump ran, aside from Racism.

Sorry, Simon, I've seen way too many 'you gotta admit, this particular instance of Trump vomiting words is totes hilar' shit of late and jumped to conclusions.

no worries!
