      Many people are saying he’s the weirdest. Tremendous amounts of people are saying it.

          Yeah, but none of that bothers his supporters as much as calling him weird. Which is pretty weird if you ask me.

              I’ve been pointing out how fuckin weird it is to care about half the shit they care about for years. I work blue collar so I’ve learned to keep my thoughts and beliefs to myself (it’s too much fuckin work otherwise), but every now and then I’d chime in with a “Why should the GOVERNMENT care about what consenting adults do?” or “Why should the GOVERNMENT have the power to dictate women’s health care?” etc

              It works quite well if you point out the obvious disconnect between wanting “small government” and feeling like the State should be their personal nanny/drill sergeant. I’ve had quite a few stereotypical conservative guys go “hey yeah that is kinda weird, fuck the gubmint”. They’re also typically fans of my case that I don’t care what color tie a politician wears, a crook is a crook. They nod solemnly, then leave before that reaches its natural conclusion.

              My two cents

            True, it is bugging them.

            I’m still sticking with rapist and fraud since they’ve been proven in a court of law.

              If weird were illegal, Trump would have been in jail since calling columnists, pretending to be someone else, to get it out that he was hot property in his dating life. I don’t see anything that has changed.

              In Trump’s first election run, Trump continually stole the light by saying the weirdest thing possible. All the attention was on Trump, while the entire field of serious candiDates were out-rizzed, by the weirdest guy in the Republican field.

              Now, he is just a creepy, weird old guy that needs diapers.

        He’s already claiming she’s Canadian because she lived there when she was 12 and that’s where her mother worked at that time. So we’re aren’t long now from demanding long form birth certs.

              Giuliani can’t afford to go to Canada. Sadly, he probably wouldn’t be able to find it even if you flung him over Niagara Falls with a trebuchet.

        He’ll probably say she was born in both Jamaica and India. She’s Schrodinger’s presidential candidate (and analogy that is even more relevant after Vance’s stupid 'cat lady ’ comment).

      She turned black the day Trump found out.

      Just like the Dems turned into pedophile, racist, fascist groomers only after Trump left.

      And Epstein turned rapist-pedo-trafficker the day Trump left him.

    Yeeeah. See, corporate news? That’s how one writes a headline.

    You could learn something, corporate news. Trump’s idiocy, his racism, his blatant unethical - often illegal - activities can just be spelled out. You don’t need to pretend he’s just another normal guy out here doing normal things. That’s the lie, corporate news. You see that?

    “Are you with ABC?” Trump continued. “Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network, and I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.”

    Uh, it’s “faith”, dipshit. “Came here in good faith” is the expression. Good spirit(s) are when you’re happy.

    Are you just, like, stroking out all the time? Or is that just you being a stupid motherfucker. How could we tell?

      See, he isn’t going to be president for those who follow abc, but since he’s elected president of all Americans, people who watch a different television network will simply no longer be considered American.

    “Many fine people have told me that I was the blackest president in American history. It’s true, folks. And that’s why coloreds should vote for me instead of Laffin’ Kamindian. Did you know she’s half-Indian? What’s up with that? She’s also a FEMALE, in case you haven’t noticed. It’s a disgrace.”

    Trump also said: “A black job is anybody that has a job,” he said. “That’s what it is.” Again, the crowd gasped.

    At first I was surprised he was invited but this was some 4D chess. He saw the trap and he dove head first.

    If the Republicans were at all competent, they could actually have made this attack work.

    Just look at Kedrick Lamar’s roasting of Drake in “Not Like Us”. Drake is clearly black, but he was mostly raised by a non-black mother in Canada. A lot of the emphasis in Not Like Us is how Drake has to do things like travel to Atlanta or wear clothes from Compton to pretend to fit in with black culture. So Lamar says:

    “No, you not a colleague, you a fuckin’ colonizer”

    A very clever Republican strategist use that Harris was mostly raised by her Indian mother, how she spent her teens in Montreal, Canada, how she married a white man, how she prosecuted people for marijuana possession, and so-on to try to sow doubts about whether she really fit in.

    But, they’d have to have done that using black surrogates who were seemingly not tied to the Trump campaign. Instead, they’re so incompetent that they have Trump just blurt out to a Black audience that she’s not really black… which instead puts everyone on her side.

      Which Republican black person, who is well known, respected, and is not affiliated with Trump or MAGA, is going to do this attack on Kamala Harris, for Trump and Republicans?

      They had their chance, and bungled it on a spectacular scale. Trump is taking hit after hit. Strategists know Trump’s small bags of tricks. They are blame others for what you do, lie, gaslight and steal. They are ready before Trump even thinks of it.

        Yeah, that’s the thing, they’re so toxic that such a person probably doesn’t exist. But, they could probably have used some grifters who are not well known, not respected, but do have a few social media followers. They could probably have even used some of those famous Republicans who have “I’m a black woman” social media accounts that they occasionally forget to switch to before ranting. They just needed to do what the Russians do so well, and start whispers and get the lies / questions to spread.

        Luckily, Trump flopped so hard that even if they started that kind of a whisper campaign now, people would know what they’re seeing and probably not fall for it.

      It’s crazy that people keep saying she prosecuted thousands upon thousands of black individuals with Marijuana charges. I swear people don’t know how to Google and find out that she oversaw 1900 cases, (which was a total for her AND those under her) but only 45 went to prison for it… and those were extreme cases. I’ve used the LetMeGoogleThatForYou site more than I’d like to admit.

        Facts are cool for sure but if you’re ever at the point where you realize you’re speaking to someone who doesn’t acknowledge facts I suggest making things up, then when they try and dismiss those claims just copy and paste the parts of their comments that dismissed your facts.

        This way you force them to be the ones who have to Google things, and when they run to Google they run the risk of actually learning something, and as we all know learning is conservatism’s mortal enemy.

      Nah, he’s a fucking moron, but I don’t think that’s it. He’s trying to use a standard pratice of his of identifying something that others may like about an opponent and attack it as not being true. When that thing is race, it becomes extra fucking ridiculous.

          No, they really aren’t as far as slurs go. If a person of mixed ethnicity kinda looks black, they get the same ones as people whose parents are both black.

            I’ve heard them call people of Indian descent the same slurs that they use for Blacks and Arabs. These are not people who get ambiguity or experience empathy.

    I just love the pivot America has done with Kamala… she went from the worst VP ever, not even liked by her own party or Liberals… to the most awesomest candidate ever!
