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

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.

Laura Loomer looks like a caricature of Laura Loomer

The Roger Stone/Laura Loomer association seems to be its own weird thing

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/roger-stone-sperm-offering-laura-loomer-b1955341.html

Political consultant, lobbyist, and Donald Trump ally Roger Stone made a particularly unexpected proclamation on social media on Tuesday when he offered to donate sperm to fellow conservative firebrand Laura Loomer.

“Since I don’t have a biological heir and because the freedom movement needs future warriors I am going to freeze some of my sperm in case Laura Loomer decides to bear my child sometime in the future,” Mr Stone posted on his verified Gab account.

GOP Brood Mare Queen

Since I don’t have a biological heir

maybe this is for the best

I wonder if it was DIY sperm freezing, i.e. a film canister behind the Eggo waffles

huh

How do these people just get weirder and weirder

Maybe we're just getting more normal?

is Stone the one with the giant Nixon back tattoo?

Well, there you go

Laura Loomer's child would absolutely not grow up to be a "warrior" for the "freedom movement" I can guarantee you that

looks like Janice, while having totally inverse personalities

1000%

okay loomer

Kind of crazy that one of Loomer's early stunts was jumping on the Shakespeare in the Park stage to prevent the assassination of the Trump-like Julius Caesar, and now she's hanging out with Trump while people are actually trying to assassinate him.

Stone has the Nixon tattoo and looks like Pinhead from Freaks from the side.

Et tu, Tay-Tay?

Stone hosts/attends orgies, surely somewhere along the line is a little Zippy.

see like this is the shit that needs to be pointed at. Roger Stone is one of Trump's main righthand men and he's offering to impregnate a mentally imbalanced Nazi lady who for some reason has been palling around Trump as of late to the point where people are thinking they're having an affair. you'd never want people like that to make a serious decision for you and Trump is promising to staff the federal government with nothing BUT people like that. you vote for these freaks then you're one of them.

I lament the death of the editor

The city has been rocked over the last week by repeated bomb threats, school evacuations, the shuddering of one local college which has moved to remote study.

There’s precedent for this. On September 5th, 1975 a Charles Manson follower named Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme” tried to shoot President Ford. She pointed a gun directly at Ford’s face when he was out in public before a Secret Service agent grabbed her arm and disarmed her. Two weeks later on September 22nd, 1975 Sara Jane Moore, an accountant and a divorced mother of four fired a .38 pistol at Trump but missed. Moore was on the radar of San Francisco police as a possible threat to Ford and had a history of psychiatric issues.

we need more time traveling assassins

Things have gone so far off the rails lately, RFK’s adventures with dead bears and whales already feel like a minor footnote.

overheard a guy at the gas station talking about the attempt he said it was actually the third cause there was a secret one by iran that theyre not telling you about

that one was successful

I'm slowly getting used to it, DJP. I can tell because I don't flinch as hard as I once did.

I thought they actually were planning to lol

That moron Yashir Ali was speculating that it was an Iranian special forces attempt in the brief period yesterday when no one knew who the guy was.
