US Politics, September 2024 -- “I’m Not Going to Apologize For Posting a Joke”

gotta love it when the dont leak email immediately leaks

I'm not sure there's a 'hot story' but there are plenty of smaller leaks about internal bickering and conflict, they're all over the place.. not something we're hearing from the Harris/Walz ticket

'because you spoke out of school' is odd, unless the entire staff are interns

or maybe it's this from yesterday, lol:

Trump campaign ‘no longer thinks New Hampshire is winnable and is pulling back from state,’ leaked insider email claims

Did they even fix their security

Trump X'd about some 'enormous gigantic breathtaking announcement' a few days ago that would leave the Dems whimpering & quivering in their boots, but nothing materialized as far as I know

or 'troothed' I mean

The announcement is that Biden is running again, surely:

i thought he would boot JD and replace with Tulsi as the anti-Kambalah, swinging technodork Bernie-bro left with free IVF and abortions / alternative health care for all, legal weed and recreational whatevs, tax breaks for sex workers and crypto, universal basic income, paid for by rounding up and taking assets from illegals, democrats and teh woke. but they are even too dumb for that.

I don’t know how important this Dave Rubin/Tim Pool Russian dupes story is, but it sure is funny

It is hilarious and so dumbly transparenet. Real Boris and Natasha work. Got Turning Point tangled up in it too. I don't know if it's a big big deal, but it's quite a web. People are going to be unearthing damning clips for days.

There's some definite tip-of-iceberg stuff happening, I suspect. I think there's more roffles to come at least.

transparent, that is

Yes, definitely more to come.

Got Turning Point tangled up in it too. I don't know if it's a big big deal, but it's quite a web.

Considering that Turning Point is handling GOTV for the Trump campaign at the moment, it could be a very big deal (in terms of distraction leading to major mistakes).

that was Vance meeting Ohio Dem Rep Kaptur btw:

Did someone share that last night? Apparently they're all his distant cousins. I def wouldn't wanna be judged by my racist relatives.

Stupid fuckers can’t use apostrophes.

amazing how much money is constantly shoveled into the worst rw bs, they should be made to get real jobs

Yeah Tim Pool’s best defense is that he’s an idiot who totally thinks some random company wanted to give him hundreds of thousands of dollars because he’s such an awesome dude.

tbf it does happen a lot the money is just usually coming from american billionaires

"drunk"???

That crucial drunk demographic

there's a right-wing rumor that Harris has a drinking problem

They found a 2007 photo of Harris at a Chili's.

KamaLUSH, amirite?

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up

id like to see the campaign lean harder into the kamala enjoying the good life angle stopping in at the best local northern thai spot, shaking hands near a food truck, doing events at a brewery, her just being like did you try this its so good, actually eating the cheesesteak asking for extra wiz, socials full food pix

totally

"tonight on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives"

Harris 2024: "You Gonna Finish That?"

Just received an email in which the NY Times was described as "the idiosyncratic mobile gaming company that publishes a dead-tree newspaper". I laughed.

Wordle you talking about?

not looking good for Tester in Montana:

Republican challenger Tim Sheehy is leading Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Tester by 6 points, 51 percent support to 45 percent, among likely voters in Montana, according to a new poll commissioned by AARP.

and the Dems don't really have any other likely states where they can pick up a seat. Without the Senate majority and without McConnell at the head of GOP Senate caucus, seems entirely possible Congress would refuse to certify a Harris win.

Maybe Harris could hold a rally in front of the capital and tell the crowd to fight like hell

according to a new poll commissioned by AARP

Ummm...

And didn't Tester say two weeks ago that he wasn't endorsing Harris?

according to a new poll commissioned by AARP

About the only people I'd trust to poll Montana TBH. This is a gray-haired state.

And didn't Tester say two weeks ago that he wasn't endorsing Harris?

I don't think he said anything explicit, but he was one of Montana's electors and he didn't vote to certify her.

He said he's not going to make an endorsement in the Presidential race.
