2024 US Presidential Election Thread

Why would he be jealous? He deplanes to yuge crowds, the likes of which have never been seen. Literally.

 

[Spacegoat]

Man, I bet this is really going to hurt Biden's re-election chances.

Oh wait...

 

[HenrySwanson]

Every few hours on bet 365 the odds on Harris becoming next president go more and more in her favour.

She is now the favourite at 4/5

The GOP’s vice presidential pick is a vocal critic of gender-affirming care for minors and once opposed federal protections for gay and interracial marriages.

Just embrace it JD whatever your name is. Ordinary people aren't going to fault you for you doing you.

If they lose, you just know JD's political career is most likely toast b/c Maga will be blaming him for every thing that caused Trump to lose.

I'm still positive that's why they chose him as VP. He's like the ultimate fall guy if things go south and I can't image Trump likes him all that much since Vance called him "America's Hitler" or whatever.

When Trump gets caught trying to rig the election or accept help from a foreign power, they're going to pin it all on Vance while Trump goes free to continue to grift idiots out of money.

So 'JD' stands for Janelle Delores Vance?

I'm not sure a candidate exists even within the Genitally Obsessed Party who could compare unfavourably to the Fanta Menace.

Some 'Project 2025' training videos have been leaked and they make for grim viewing...


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/12/project-2025-training-videos-trump-officials

"Newly leaked training videos confirm how the staffing initiative of Project 2025, the controversial rightwing plan for the next Republican presidency, is gearing up for a major effort to replace non-partisan civil servants with conservative loyalists, and is being led by many former Trump administration officials.

The videos, created for Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy and published over the weekend by ProPublica and Documented, expose part of the Heritage Foundation thinktank’s plan to recruit and train political appointees on behalf of a future conservative administration.


A major aim of Project 2025 – running alongside its controversial policy proposals – is to replace thousands of government employees, most of whom work in career positions for administrations on both sides of the political aisle, with partisan Republican loyalists.

Of the 36 featured speakers, 29 previously worked for former US president Donald Trump in some capacity.

The videos appear to have been recorded before the resignation of the group’s director two weeks ago, reportedly due to “pressure from Trump campaign leadership”. Trump has recently attempted to distance himself from Project 2025 amid intense criticism and backlash regarding the group’s extreme policy proposals. As well as calling for the replacement of civil servants with Trump loyalists, those plans include eliminating the education department, shrinking environmental protections, and reducing LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights.

In the 23 training videos, totaling more than 14 hours, former Trump administration officials gave advice to future appointees on governing and how to best advance their conservative policies."



Direct link to one of the videos.

"Bethany Kozma, the former deputy chief of staff at the US Agency for International Development during the the Trump administration, said that the climate change movement is part of a goal by the government to “control people”.

“If the American people elect a conservative president, his administration will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere,” Kozma said."

News outlets were leaked insider material from the Trump campaign. They chose not to print it

Three news outlets were recently leaked confidential material from inside the Trump campaign, but have chosen not to reveal any of the details about what they received.

apnews.com

At least three news outlets were leaked confidential material from inside the Donald Trump campaign, including its report vetting JD Vance as a vice presidential candidate. So far, each has refused to reveal any details about what they received.

Instead, Politico, The New York Times and The Washington Post have written about a potential hack of the campaign and described what they had in broad terms.

Their decisions stand in marked contrast to the 2016 presidential campaign, when a Russian hack exposed emails to and from Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta. The website Wikileaks published a trove of these embarrassing missives, and mainstream news organizations covered them avidly.

Oh weird.

I assume they're trying to corroborate the info they got. NYT has no reason not to bash Trump so if they got dirt they'd be all over it.

 

[Danoff]

I really appreciated this article on the military careers of the VP candidates. I like that it concludes by saying that both men deserve credit for their service.

From the article:

Both Politico and the Post said that two people had independently confirmed that the documents were authentic.

From the article:

Interesting. I wonder if they're running it past Kamallama first.

 

[Omnis]

Really loved Trump's conversation with Elon Musk on his X Spaces chat. Even if you hate the guy, you have to admit he's a great entertainer, but long format stuff like this makes him a lot more human. He still sticks to his stolen-election delusions, but it's good to know that he "gets it,"especially with regard to his line about people being more concerned about CO2-footprint global warming than nuclear bomb global warming. I feel like Kamala is a vapid script-reader that might as well just be an AI automaton.

 

[McLaren]

Entertaining if you like watching an old man yell at the clouds and show everyone what a delusional dumb ass he is. There's nothing "human" about this either, when the person he's talking to literally glazes him left & right.


The only thing to watch from this if it kills his election. Elon trying to hold similar conversations with DeSantis & Vivek are what started their campaigns going into nose dives.

I thought NYT was like the Guardian.

Guess I was wrong.

Gets what?

 

[Danoff]

It turns out that it really helps to not hate him if you want to find him entertaining. So, no.

Elon's "understanding" of CO2 driven global warming seems to be that it'll just give people headaches due to the higher concentration in the air, but somehow not affect the amount of energy absorbed by the planet despite decades of research showing that increasing temperatures are exactly what will happen and has been happening for a long time.

And Trump understands it less, which is quite an accomplishment.

Its like saying you'll likely end up dying of a radiation-linked disease if your city gets hit directly by a nuclear bomb. Missing the point that you'll already be toast well before that point in time.

Elon of 2012 disagrees



The guy is exactly like Trump - a salesman to the bone. Neither one of them has any principles other than making the sale - whether it's a product or a delusion - by any any means necessary.

Another - it's not like he was quiet about it a decade ago...
