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

At this point Trump has to be freaking out. Think he'll still go golfing?

yeah its a bad look for a fascist to not even be able to control his security perimeter xp

don't you worry, Ron DeSantis is on the scene kicking ass.

Trumpy candidates have been underperforming pretty consistently as a consequence of being really crazy and dumb, would be nice if that started to affect Trump himself. Who the fuck wants 4 more years of this??

that musk post ties in with this month's thread title nicely

I admit I laughed at this

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

Good on Lester Holt and NBC for keeping JD Vance's rhetoric about Sprintgfield Ohio in the news cycle.pic.twitter.com/0MW4p2tFiV

Good old days: “Then President Donald Trump was frustrated that metal detectors were slowing down armed people from entering a rally of his supporters on January 6, 2021, according to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who recalled Trump demanding the metal detectors be removed because he believed the crowd was “not there to hurt me.””

lmao poor $DJT

Getting shot at the second time wasn’t even good for $2 in the premarket and it went red immediately on the open. Zero juice short more

I’m getting John McAfee vibes from this Routh guy

I would like it if he and Neil Breen were to do a fireside chat type thing

Good poll out of Nevada with Harris up one--Trafalgar Group, a Republican firm.

Has the D Senate candidate up 8 too lol

If Trafalgar has him losing he’s completely cooked

i’m at this +5 or it doesn’t matter preset ha

Loomer also suggested during this episode that she might have told Trump to repeat the lie about Haitians eating pets.

"They’re saying 'Well, uh, it’s very clear that Laura Loomer is the one who told Donald Trump to say this during the debate.' So what?" https://t.co/WWzzXeHBD8 pic.twitter.com/BSlWzuS7cC

Still lots of clueless, confused voters out here

Donald Trump's campaign vow to increase tariffs on imported goods, particularly from China, has the support of a narrow majority of U.S. voters, illustrating his economic advantage over rival Vice President Kamala Harris, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.

USA Today article

I don’t like dwelling on peoples looks, but it was discussed upthread (what feels like a month ago already) - but this Loomer human really did a number on herself in a matter of years. It’s shocking how off putting she looks now compared to being normal ish like 5 years ago. I feel like this is some mental illness at play here tbh with the plastic surgery etc

She definitely is mentally I’ll

Unfortunately that looks is quite common these days.

All GOP women aspire to the features of Janice the Muppet.

^^^the Trumpy ones, that is.

Fee sure

There is no justice

I hate to be all Matt Yglesias here but I do actually agree that Harris should go on more podcasts! She would be good on them and they reach an audience that is nothing like that of ILX or NYT.

please don't ask her to go on Hot Ones. I am so tired of hearing people tell her to go one Hot Ones.

if she's been chasing the ILX vote then she should probably refocus those efforts elsewhere

I hear she sent canvassers to table's place.

she should go on hot ones

that's what i told your mom

looks like Janice, while having totally inverse personalities

Maybe Kamala could go on Serial and they could overturn one of her convictions as DA.

I feel like a music podcast, especially a jazz one, could be interesting but obviously not for a large audience.

Or on Bonanas for Bonanza with Andy Daly in character as the “Cowboy Poet Laureate of the West” Dalton Wilcox.

if she went on a jazz podcast maybe she could appeal to swing voters.

biden did that will arnett/jason bateman/sean hayes podcast earlier this year, iirc

i don't listen to any podcasts, best way to reach me is with an interlude on the new ebk jaaybo album

I will accept nothing less than Kamala joining Adam Scott Aukerman for a comprehensive and encyclopedic guide to the music of Prince (Working title: U Rainin' Purple On My Nurple?)

Nothing Compares to U2

I would personally like to hear her discuss the famous so not gonna happen pic.

too bad Reply All died in a fire

going on pods seems pretty essential these days the big ones have way more reach than almost anything else

wld be fun for politicians to go on pods that cater to their interests like if theyre super into game of thrones or chess

Cocaine & Rhinestones

I want to see Harris and Walz discuss the greatness of Sbarro, and explain their Universal Nabkin Dispender proposal.

Kamala did this podcast in 2020.
