Trump 2024 Campaign - The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.

[Kurth]

P.S. Kids aren't using litter pans either. The number of times I've seen people I thought were reasonably intelligent trot that one out as the gospel truth still astounds me.

One wonders at the lack of evidence when every person has a phone / video camera in their pocket.

Litter pans? Do I even want to know?

One of the right wing fever dreams is that children are now identifying as cats and schools are providing litter pans in the bathrooms. Again, it's made up from whole cloth but so many people are brain dead that it keeps being brought up in arguments as to how "woke" people are ruining everything.

Indeed. However, like every insane rumor, there's a tiny grain of truth that (big surprise) is tied back to gun violence in schools:

The Jefferson County school district disputed Ganahl’s claims and said its dress code prohibits costumes at school. The district — where Columbine High School is located — has been stocking classrooms with small amounts of cat litter since 2017, but as part of “go buckets” that contain emergency supplies in case students are locked in a classroom during a shooting. The buckets also contain candy for diabetic students, a map of the school, flashlights, wet wipes and first aid items.

Starting a rumor that children in school now use litter pans is certainly a great way to deflect from the reality that instead they might need a "go bucket" if being held under siege by a gunman.

I really wish I didn’t know about this. How can people be so stupid?

Also, why am I not surprised that Joe Rogan was out there spreading this crap? I have a good friend who is always trying to tell me I should listen to Rogan and that while he may entertain some fringe views and give guests with nutso ideas airtime, he’s a really good interviewer and worth watching. This is Exhibit 1 why Joe Rogan is a pieces of shit.

[Scraper]

I have relatives who I have repeatedly debunked the cat litter bs to and yet they still believe it. You can guess who they'll be voting for in November.

[Zarathud]

Joe Rogan is gullible and dumb ass, but a great interviewer. Maybe he’ll change like Howard Stern, but Howard was always smart.

Trump accidentally referred to Elon in Wisconsin as, Leon.

[LordMortis]

TFG doesn't do accidents. He weaves metafor. His English professor friends think it's genius.

[Carpet_pissr]

Trump accidentally referred to Elon in Wisconsin as, Leon.

OMG that's his new name. I will from now on be referring to Elon as Leon.

[Jaymann]

And he shall be Leon
And he shall be a bad man
And he shall be Leon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Leon
And he shall be a bad man
He shall be Leon

[Unagi]

before I read your text underneath, I thought you were re-mad at me about my off-the-cuff and cynical fiscal conservative comment.

[Holman]

Trump accidentally referred to Elon in Wisconsin as, Leon.

I haven't seen the video, but I assume this is a case of misreading a teleprompter?

If so, that somehow makes it even worse.

doesn't look like it. Just looks like he doesn't pay any attention really to other people, so their names are kinda meaningless.

[hepcat]

It's when he later referred to Melania as "Miss Hoffalo-churro-beanbag-nerple-<gggaaarrrrrrahhhhh>-pepper-tagyou'reit-juiceboxnow" that people got a bit concerned.

Concerned, or thrilled and hopeful?

Does the right really think they can co-opt kittens?

The rock group The White Stripes have filed suit against GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign for its use of the band's megahit "Seven Nation Army" in a since-deleted campaign video.

Lead singer and guitarist Jack White posted the front cover of the suit, filed in New York District Court, to his Instagram page Tuesday, with the caption, "This machine sues fascists." It's a reference to words that folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote on his guitar, "This machine kills fascists."

Violation after violation. I hope he can show flagrant repeated disregard and gets 10s of millions in punitive damages and opens the doors for others to do the same.

Dream Team (Nightmare division) of assholes accompanying Trump to Philly for the debate.

Notably missing: Melania.

[hepcat]

I hate that my first thought was that this would result in a new version of the song American Pie in a perfect world.

[Alefroth]

Ooh, nice one. Very mindful, very demure.

[hepcat]

That was a power move. Love it!

[Jaymann]

So Alan Dershowitz says he can no longer be a Democrat due to their anti-Zionist stance?

From Wikipedia:

He was a member of Harvey Weinstein's defense team in 2018[6] and of President Donald Trump's defense team in his first impeachment trial in 2020.[5] He was a member of Jeffrey Epstein's defense team and helped to negotiate a 2006 non-prosecution agreement on Epstein's behalf.[10]

And it took until the 2024 DNC to make him change parties? So the man who made a name for himself defending free speech and the constitution now supports a candidate who scoffs at the rule of law and wants to actively jail his opponents?

Oh Marjorie, but it is your party. And your leader is well acquainted with her.

From a Politico article: Loomer traveled aboard Trump’s private plane to the presidential debate in Philadelphia, and spent Wednesday traveling with him and top members of his campaign team to events commemorating the Sept. 11 attacks in Manhattan and Pennsylvania. Throughout the day, Loomer, who has called 9/11 an “inside job,” posted photos and videos of Trump at Ground Zero, with victim families, and with first responders. Loomer does not work in any official capacity for the campaign and was invited as a guest, though she has served as an informal adviser to Trump.

MTG just wants you to read the first word of each of her paragraphs. It's code to the base.

Didn't JD's wife praise him on learning how to cook Indian cuisine? I worry about him stinking up the Vice President's residence.

[hepcat]

Vance won't defend his wife and call out Laura (who was on the plane to the debate to help Trump prep) as he places ass kisser way above family. He strikes me as the type of person that could listen to Trump making the most racist jokes possible about Indians in front of him AND his wife and he'd laugh along.

[Unagi]

He'd explain the joke to his wife, who just didn't get it.

[$iljanus]

There are good people on both sides.

[hepcat]

I have a sneaking suspicion we're gonna see a Conway style divorce in that family in the not too distant future.

[LawBeefaroni]

Apparently Loomer and Trump are a thing now? It would explain why MTG went off on her so vehemently. Court sycophants don't like competition and Trump is easily influenced by whoever he is crushing on.

This meltdown could be epic.

It's so weird. Loomer was a marginal figure hanging around the white-supremacist fringes of MAGA world for such a long time, and now she's suddenly not only in the inner circle but posing with Trump's hands on her in ways we've only seen him try to do with Ivanka.

[Max Peck]

The good news is that Trump seems to be moving on from the pet cuisine thing. The bad news is that, well, he's playing the tried-and-true "rapists and murderers" card again.

[hepcat]

He refers to savage criminal aliens.

It doesn’t take a genius to realize who he’s REALLY talking about.

[GreenGoo]

I feel like this is a missed opportunity to post a certain scientologist in sci fi cosplay.

However, I do appreciate the expression on his face.

[waitingtoconnect]

It’s all a deflection. And by giving it airtime the media is complicit.

People are talking about this madness and not Taylor Swifts endorsement or the debate disaster.

[YellowKing]

And now he's making claims that Harris wants to bring back the draft and "send your children to war."
