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

why doesn't he just say he was 'doing his own research'?

He's already on track to lose, right?

Congratulations, Madam President

xp Yeah, he's been down 5-15% in polls taken within the last month. I think the question at this point is how much it might drag down Trump in NC.

this guy seems kinda weird

I'd like to see an ad showing all the kooks and freaks Trump has endorsed in recent years, along with Trump himself, along the lines of, "The Republican Party thinks you'll vote for any wacko they tell you to."

The Harris rapid response team strikes again:

Don't know why that didn't load properly.

I dunno I need to know what kind of pizza he brought with him into the porn booth.

It's a video of Trump praising Robinson on something like a half dozen occasions, including saying, "I think you're better than Martin Luther King."

“I told that to Mark. I said, ‘I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two.' And he looked at me, and I wasn’t sure — was he angry, because that’s a terrible thing to say? Or was he complimented? I have never figured it out," Trump said, turning to address Robinson directly. "When I said that to you, you looked like, 'I don’t know if I like that comment.' You should like it because you are outstanding and you’re going to be the next governor. So that’s going to be very cool.”

Trump even creeped out the Black Nazi.

Mark's look = wait, was Trump on the same porn chat as me? Is he fucking with me right now?

i must have missed this dementia gem:

“They didn’t correct her once. And they corrected me, everything I said, practically. I think nine times or 11 times,” he told Greg Gutfeld.

Trump then referred to the nonexistent audience.

“And the audience was absolutely– they went crazy,” he said.

don't love this

Late push to deny Harris an electoral vote ... https://t.co/deS468ic27

yeah, just saw that... it's fucked up

i don't doubt the Dems would take that one lying down, and it seems like a bit of a Hail Mary. Not that i necessarily believe it would come down to one electoral vote, tbh.

Given that the motherfucker will seemingly endorse absolutely any fucking thing, I wonder if it's possible to call up the Trump campaign and get them to send you an actual rate card, or if they just take a percentage of the gross.

In related news, there's video circulating of Roseanne showing off a Trump 2024-branded pistol and coming close to shooting herself and/or the cameraman about five times in a minute.

apparently it is too late to make maine winner-take-all. i agree it probably won't come down to one vote, but this does mean she needs at least one sun belt state to win, can't just sweep the great lakes

this is on msnbc tomorrow. fun for the whole family.

gotta love the big bald guy

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said he thinks former President Trump has a “special” place among Pennsylvania voters and it only deepened after a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally in the state in July.

“Trump has created a special kind of a hold … and he’s remade the party and he has a special kind of place in Pennsylvania,” Fetterman said Thursday to a crowd at The Atlantic Festival. “And I think that only deepened after that first assassination attempt.”

“I also want people to understand, you know, and it’s not science, but there is, there’s energy and there’s kinds of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania, and people are very committed and strong,” Fetterman said. “Trump is going to be strong and … we have to respect that.”

Gotta respect that

we pennsylvanians are angry and big and loud, and also bald

Fetterman's typically astute assessment of the ground

To be fair, he's 6'8" — he has to squint to see the ground.

we're live!

I hate to give Jon Chait credit for anything, but this is a good line:

"The Republican Party could have found a more sober-minded candidate than Robinson even if it had confined its recruitment entirely to the NudeAfrica posting community."

LOL

love the little Eames drum table

alright I'm not expecting a tough line of questioning here

The abortion story I just heard she just answered with finesse and precision.

meryl streep doing a cameo

Not a joke:

lots to explore in mark robinsons recently released porn forum posts, but a personal favorite is how he often refers to anal sex as "pumping her dookie chute"

Sucks that I keep thinking about the guy from Unrest/Teenbeat when I see this dirtbag's name.

lol

none of this stuff about Mark Robinson is news btw. He has a long history of antisemitism, known porn addiction, hypocrisy re abortion, and racist and fascist comments, and we were alerted to this months/years ago. I really hope he drags the Republican party down in NC

Dan Bishop (Republican Rep for NC 08), who is running for Attorney General against good guy Jeff Jackson, is also a racist and a neanderthal

and Michelle Morrow, the Republican running for state superintendent of schools, is a total nutjob who is for book bans and has suggested executing democratic officials

none of this stuff about Mark Robinson is news btw

i think the 'liking trans porn' bit might be new, but yeah. this is just the GOP knifing him because he's losing, right?

appreciate their sheer desperation to get all these ppl *off* the NC ballot at the last second

this facial expression ?

Looking forward to all the pearl-clutching editorials tomorrow responding to Harris's statement to Oprah that "Anybody who breaks into my house is getting shot."

Meantime, Thom Tillis has cut bait:
