So, I am having trouble following the ball with the "Comrade Kamala" name-calling tactic.

I understand they are trying to say she is a socialist/communist... but really - to me, it sounds like they are trying to say she is friendly with Putin - so it sounds specifically stupid for Trump to say it. It's making me laugh though, so that's nice.

The Dems should just run ads showing Trump toadying to Putin and call him "Comrade Trump".

No. You puppet.

Really they should just have a TFG Dummy that can't say anything but So is your face

the 'they' wouldn't get it. Although, the same probably could be said about any honest ad that reveals a truth to 'them'.

Vance has ZERO charisma - just check him out trying to order donuts.

Best part for me is when he explains who he is - she replies: OK

Lame duck!

Did they just walk in to that business unannounced and start filming? The worker was asking not to be on camera. I imagine that's fairly intimidating to have all these people with cameras roll up all of a sudden into your store when it's you and one other kid working the counter.

It reminds me of an episode of Veep, except that episode was funny and this is just really sad.

Leave it to Vance to make the simple act of buying donuts strange and uncomfortable.

Heh, I'm looking forward to it but not for the reason Trump and his ilk may think.

Zarathud · Post by **Zarathud** » Thu Aug 22, 2024 8:14 pm

Of course Jd Vance wants to glaze and sprinkle on the donuts. And buy half as many as the staffer suggests.

https://www.axios.com/2024/08/23/jan-6- ... fundraiser

The big picture: Organizers dubbed the event as the "J6 Awards Gala," with a flyer that prominently features a photo of Trump and his former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, saying they're invited guest speakers.
Asked by Axios whether Trump would attend, the Trump campaign said he would not.
Representatives for Giuliani, the golf club and the nonprofit holding the event did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
Zoom in: The event, hosted by the Stand in the Gap Foundation, is scheduled to take place on Sept. 5 at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, per the event page.

"The funds raised will provide much-needed assistance to the January 6th defendants who continue to face significant challenges," organizers said.
Tickets range from $1,500 a person to $50,000 for a table of 12.

The Trump campaign said he’s not attending but like catnip would he be able to resist the temptation to show up and bask in the adoration of traitors? Like a child, he does like positive attention…

And that will convert some negative amount of votes. You keep broadcasting that as loud as you can. Don't ever let us forget it. That's enough to win an election by itself if the messaging is loud enough and keeps the evidence in the public eye.

$iljanus · Post by **$iljanus** » Fri Aug 23, 2024 2:04 pm

Oh okay then. His statement and the creepy as fuck icon of his face and the flag is definitely the push I need to reconsider my support for Harris.

Edited to quote article:

Trump meme coins are rallying in the wake of the rfk endorsement: https://www.ibtimes.com/maga-token-tops ... cy-3740578

Adding to the excitement, Trump has backed a new cryptocurrency platform launched by his family called "The DeFiant Ones," changing his tune on an industry he once eyed skeptically.

In his endorsement, Trump stated:

"For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites. It's time we take a stand — together."

Maybe we need to start a meme coin - the octopus- divided into 8 tentacles.

It will go something like this, but none of Trump's own money will be in it...

After blowing through his own funds seeking promised profits, Hanes stole tens of thousands from a local church, then a local investor club, and finally his daughter's college fund, NBC News reported. Then when all those wells dried up, he started stealing bank funds—all in the false hopes that sending more and more money to the scammers would somehow "unlock the supposed returns" on his crypto investments.

In total, Hanes made 11 wire transfers using bank funds between May 2023 and July 2023. But instead of getting rich quick, Hanes never realized any profits at all, the US Attorney's Office said.

He pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement by a bank officer after he singlehandedly caused the collapse of Heartland Tri-State Bank (HTSB) in Elkhart, Kansas, the press release said.

Because the bank was insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the FDIC "absorbed the $47.1 million loss" after "Hanes’ fraudulent actions caused HTSB to fail and the bank investors to lose $9 million,"

Oh, and his friends told him it was a scam, but he just kept going...

Donald Trump-themed memecoins like MAGA crypto are making a splash after a mid-Kamala Harris speech at the Democratic National Convention and an expected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement for Trump.

12 years in and the douche is still using IP to beg for money without permission.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/foo-fighte ... -campaign/

When commenting on the Trump campaign's use of "My Hero," a spokesperson for the band told CBS News on Saturday: "Foo Fighters were not asked permission and if they were, they would have not granted it."

The spokesperson added that any royalties received as a result of the Trump campaign's use of the song will be donated to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.

Additionally, in response to a question if the band had "let Trump use 'My Hero" to welcome RJF Jr. on stage," the Foo Fighters' account on X simply replied, "No." The account then shared the exchange, adding: "Let us be clear."

Sorry, I’ll wrap the text from the article in quotes next time… sometimes it’s a bit hard to do it on the phone and I apologise for confusion but thought the meme coin was good to share in the context of the broader grift culture around trump.
