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

Jack White putting out a decent album and suing Trump, almost makes me feel bad for everything I’ve said about him since 2004 or so.

White dudes for Kamala

It’s so clear they’re still running a Biden playbook. This wins over no one and is alienating more voters than we’re gaining. Beltway games don’t translate well with voters and just make people we need, who do pay attention, more mad. Cut this out! 1/ https://t.co/GRaIvOUfZY

I don't think the guests you bring to the debate matter. I don't even know if the debate itself matters.

She should bring people who beat Trump up when he was a kid

But seriously, I kind of doubt bringing the Mouch to the debate was part of Biden playbook.

Doubt Biden even knew who Biden Mouch was.

If she wanted to break Trump's brain she should get his niece, Mary Trump, to show up.

I assumed the point of that gambit was to rattle Trump (like Trump inviting Juanita Broddrick to a 2016 debate), not to win over viewers.

As near as I can make out Romman is saying that activists aren't volunteering to work for Democratic campaigns because they are angry at Harris for acting too much like Biden? That's possible, but the leftist/activist faction was never going to be satisfied with any presidential candidate that has a chance of winning because, like the right wing of the Republicans, they do not want to compromise on any issue. But unlike the Republican right wing they are very poorly organized.

I always liked scaramucci for his brief employment as he seemed like they had finally found the correct guy to be emblematic of everything else. He was the right kind of fake, to borrow some language

ay its da mooch dis fuckin guy gabagool

that's not the Biden playbook that's the #resistance playbook - the brief window of being endearingly too online has now shifted to just being too online period

its some sassy genx shit more less is how i break it down

Harris' 2020 campaign was too online as well. If you remember, her main issue was kicking Trump off of Twitter

She should bring people who beat Trump up when he was a kid

I guess the adult equivalent would be real estate investors who bought something he really wanted, maybe they could be carrying a photo of the property and wave it around while he talks!

jesus christ they're going all in on this

🚨 NEW AZGOP BILLBOARD ALERT! 🚨

“EAT LESS KITTENS – Vote Republican!”

This campaign highlights just how horrific things have become under the failed policies of ‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris.

President Trump is committed to securing our borders and ensuring that what we’ve… pic.twitter.com/NM3jlN2oau

No way I’m watching this thing but I’ll skim posts here and on FB

True, Republicans will use any excuse to not eat pussy...

that billboard is so fucked up

Not beating the weird allegation

Good luck America.

Where did people get this idea that Republicans are good at memes?

Chick-fil-A should sue.

there's no way this doesn't backfire on the GOP.

found a political ad even better than the Harris one

My name is Sally Duval, and I’m running for Texas House of Representatives, and it’s HIGH time for a change. If you agree that we need leaders who will ensure that Texans have access to safe, tested marijuana products, chip in today: https://t.co/r25fbUhVIA pic.twitter.com/xFeYVBNELg

The Harris pre-debate graphic is pretty good:

lol

lol but also i thought it started at 8pm EST

“Guys, hear me out. If we put up billboards about eating cats, voters will realize we’re totally NOT weird!”

I like this slideshow they posted on TikTok

https://www.tiktok.com/@kamalahq/photo/7412735670378073375

the thing with the cats in Springfield OH was initially some woman at a council meeting or something, conjecturing (without evidence) that poor Haitian immigrants were possibly stealing ducks from the pond at a park.. it wasn't even about cats

in Oakland we have an invasion of Canada geese and I wouldn't mind at all if some got roasted, they shit everywhere and chase me sometimes...

Biden still has an agenda

dick cheney’s endorsement might’ve been more influential than expected

that cat billboard doesn't look real.

Fake Mews

lol

the thing with the cats in Springfield OH was initially some woman at a council meeting or something, conjecturing (without evidence) that poor Haitian immigrants were possibly stealing ducks from the pond at a park.. it wasn't even about cats

It's even weirder and worse than that, there was a report of a woman eating a cat in front of her neighbors, but it was in Canton, Ohio, not Springfield. And she wasn't an immigrant, she was a Black woman with obvious serious mental issues. There's a video of her arrest being circulated, saying she's Haitian. Somehow that video got looped in with the stuff racists have been saying at Springfield council meetings about people supposedly eating ducks and geese. Meanwhile, the actual reason all the Haitians are in Springfield is that they were brought there to work at local factories, which couldn't get enough workers.

The whole thing is so deeply fucked up and also so deeply representative of where the GOP and this country are at right now.

There was also a photo posted on Reddit showing a Black guy (no evidence that he was Haitian) carrying a dead goose in Columbus (not Springfield) that got folded into the conspiracy (even though the person who took the photo was not politically motivated and is now upset that the post was hijacked).

And the whole Republican Party is now promoting it like it’s a real actual thing, and/or a hilarious joke ha ha ha.

meanwhile, these dipshits...

Another round of reactionary freaks thinking the rest of the country knows the details of their inside jokes (that are just cover for things they're mad about).

hopefully Dick Cheney will be on that Alaska hunt

those are some surprisingly inoffensive hunting targets, I would expect like polar bears or baby seals or something

(oh wait, that was 2020)

Another round of reactionary freaks thinking the rest of the country knows the details of their inside jokes (that are just cover for things they're mad about).

I mean, yes, but the “reactionary freaks” in this case is the entire Republican Party. Trump tweeted it, Vance tweeted it, the House GOP Judiciary Committee tweeted it — there’s almost no distance any more between 4Chan, Musk, and Trump.

I'm getting some hella dodgy fundraising texts today, purportedly from the Democrats

So many texts today
