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

Good morning!

This has a very tragic third act vibe to it

Tragic...or farcical?

What's the difference?

“They smear because they fear” for October thread title

arbys is still the winner

this is an hour-long interview that you don't see every day on cable news. ari gets so into it he even forgets to quote ol' dirty bastard.

CNN's headline right now is about Trump's "decision" not to debate again. Are all media outlets treating that the same way? Because, as I posted yesterday, I really doubt there's been any decision at all. He just said some stuff yesterday, and today or next week I fully expect he'll say the complete opposite.

Nah, that has the stink of fear on it.

Ok one more thing about Loomer, isn’t one of Trumps central traits that he’s perpetually horny? And isn’t it incredibly obvious that his own wife won’t give him the time of day?

gross

please don’t bring up the one way that DJT and I are similar ever again

gross

loomer posting 9/11 truther stuff this morning.

Having her moment in the scum

"Lindsey Graham got WASTED after the debate the other night and shit all over Donald Trump and his advisors because he was drunk and flapping his gums to the media. Lindsey Graham was drunk as a skunk and started blabbing trying to impress the first Gay reporter he could come across in the spin room."

well, who wouldn't?

prudes, the lot of you

god i hope she sticks around and he doesn't dump her

looking good sir

he rubbed Arby's meat as a moisturizer.

harris has nice teeth

Horseradish sauce lube is still cool though

too hot

ymmv

Ugh I couldn’t keep that name

Can’t wait until he drops his current campaign manager for LL

ll cool l

low life with the loud raps

the LL stuff is probably giving the same feeling to the "adults" inside his campagain as the time he invited fuentes and ye to dinner.

Except he wasn't banging them (presumably)

As a number of people have pointed out this has a real George Bluth/Kitty Sanchez vibe to it

And he goes, ‘She’s a lot smarter than a lot of these other people who have worked for me.’”

Remember when Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to the front door at Twitter to protest being banned and everyone just went in and out of a different door? All day. Good times. pic.twitter.com/7rm2ndZEVd

Why did she have a big star on her shirt?

Yellow star I assume

Attorney General Merrick Garland addressed Justice Department employees Thursday, decrying “an unprecedented spike” in threats against them and seeming to fortify them for the possibility of Trump misusing the department if he were to win in November:

Our norms are a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon. And our norms are a promise that we will not allow this nation to become a country where law enforcement is treated as an apparatus of politics.

if only merrick garland could have done something about this between january 6, 2021, and the present. but there's just not enough time!

give the norms more time! they're almost there.

look there's no way that Merrick Garland could have known that the GOP may not always follow political norms

i'm just glad mcconnell stole the supreme court seat from him. imagine garland on the SC! i'm not sure if alito could handle the reign of radical anarchy garland would unleash there

Anarchy in the SC

some republican super pac is running fake pro-harris/pro-israel doug emhoff ads in michigan to get muslims there pissed off. classy!

Democrats don't need much help shooting themselves in the foot on that.

the Springfield, OH situation is so infuriating & scary and it's just dismal that this is happening. I'm starting to think we don't talk enough about evil these days

word.

Not holding my breath, but does feel like this current disgusting bout of slander should occasion some prominent Catholic conservatives to speak out. Is lying about migrants the kind of thing that Christ’s teachings lead us to? Is it what the Church teaches?

These are going to be longest two (checks notes) four months of our lives, aren’t they?

Can only hope the GOP pays dearly for this shit in Ohio. Not holding my breath but I don’t think your typical Trump voter is on board with this shit.

they may only win Ohio by 5 points this time
