RFK Jr has just said that Trump has offered him control of public heath agencies.

Honestly any Trump voter deserves a taste of this reality, but still hope it does not come to pass for all the vulnerable people it will harm.

 

The Trump assignation attempt hurt the Democrats. Since then they've dialed back their rhetoric when voicing concern about a second Trump administration.

 

Man, way to stand up for your spouse.

 

Makes Ted Cruz look almost chivalrous.

 

Nice turnout at the Harris rally at the Ellipse. She got the exposure she was looking for! great background, big crowd, good speech.

 

I watched the introductions. Those are six very atypical American Jews.

 

Is the republican way.

My wife says what is it with white women and this nonsense? What deal with the devil did they make?

My response: Power is more important than equality.

 

Isn't that where they always find these people. They find the one black guy hung up on Biden saying you ain't t black if you don't vote for him and other exceptions just to make you see that there are undecided voters.

 

Well Biden stumbled and mumbled when asked about the “island of garbage” controversy and seemingly called Trump Supporters garbage…

so obviously within seconds the MAGAts pounced on it and declared being very offended and tried to tie it to Hillarys “Deplorables” blurt…. Biden of course already tried to “clarify” that he meant that the “only garbage he sees is Trumps supporters demonization of Latinos”

Its always comical watching people who have been spending years spitting venom all over the place be utterly in shock and disgusted when someone pokes back….. we will see what kind of legs this has soon enough… Vance is due to appear on Rogan, lets see how insulted he pretends to be

 

It will have a lot of legs because Republicans are outraged about it.

The orange Hitler-loving felon can borrow Hitler's language and phrases to call people "vermin", "enemies of the people", "poison the blood of the country", etc., he can outright lie about immigrants eating pets, etc. and the topics get dropped very quickly when Republicans feign outrage against the Democrats reaction to it. But we all know it doesn't work the other way around.

Biden should have stayed in the background, but he didn't and now the focus will be on his comment and not all the vile that comes out of Republican mouths on a daily basis.

 

They will pounce on it. All of them. And it just feed right into their basic messaging. And the press will go on and on about it. Because all of them will be pouncing on it.

Completely fcuked the closing days of this campaign.

 

We'll see. It was dumb, but there's a likely chance it fizzles, too. Plus, the Puerto Rico thing fired up a group who maybe had some reluctant voters. I'm not sure which group of reluctant MAGA people this one motivates. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it's a huge deal.

They do need to lock Joe in a basement somewhere, though, until next Tuesday. The Harris people have run a seriously great campaign. Him ********ing it up at the end would be so Biden.

I do love the idea he's not spouting babble now, according to the MAGA people. Must be the new dementia pills they've got.

 

It is a huge deal because we could have used one or two more days of the media focusing on the GOP's overt racism, as exemplified in the rally, by the CNN panelist, etc. right as people are going to the polls. Instead, it will all be about a Democrat president insulting those wonderful insightful people in the local diner, just like Hillary (supposedly) did.

Yep.

And, of course, this will never get brought up. His age was such a big issue, but the moment he dropped out the fact that the orange Hitler-loving felon would be the oldest inaugurated president was suddenly a non-issue. They won't blink an eye at the change from "ignore the doddering old fool who doesn't know what he is saying" to "he knows exactly what he is saying and it is shocking he can be so cruel to us God-loving Christians".

 

It also pulls this back to Biden. For the close of the campaign, Trump gets to run against Biden.

 

Eh, good luck to him there.

For real, though, it was a supremely idiotic foul up from a guy they should've completely put to pasture months ago. I'm just not sure where it moves the needle, at this point. Are there batches of MAGAs who hadn't wanted to vote, but are now? Some independents who decide this is the final straw for them? I think the MSG and Puerto Rico comments have stirred up the right people and already baked in their effects.

Still, yes, this was one of the absolute dumbest thing I've seen spewed from a non-Trump figure in quite some time. I'm getting more pissed just sitting here typing about it. ********ing idiot Joe.

 

It's the opportunity cost for Harris. Any media and voter attention bandwidth this stupidity gets is bandwidth that's not available for her closing message.

 

Thanks for posting -- but I have decided that at this point in the election, NOTHING I am hearing can be trusted. News stories, polling results, NOTHING. I know who I am voting for. I have no need to watch/read news about the election. I am also resigned to the likelihood it will be the weekend before there is any credible assessments of who actually won. YMMV.
