2024 US Presidential Election Thread

Conservative is when you cry like a little bitch about how others live their lives, even (especially?) as how others live their lives violates no rights and shouldn't affect you.

Trump went all out on the incel vote picking this guy.

 

[MIE1992]

Trump didn't just shoot himself in the foot by picking Vance. It's more like he grabbed a wine corkscrew and is slowly advancing it through his foot until it's poking out of his sole.

EDIT: For what it's also worth, my dad who's a retired military surgeon likes to refer to him as "VD Vance," with "VD" being a medical term referring to venereal disease.

 

[TexRex]

The figurative foot shooting is a bigger deal than the "actual real" ear shooting, lol.

Every time you all post something about Trump and Vance, I can hear that Curc Your Enthusiasm theme music right after I read the post. Truly unreal stuff during this whole election process.

MAGA: It wasn't a cheap, illegal publicity stunt because those loyal patriot Gold Star fans invited him.
Trump:

Fortunately for Trump, the 8 families are MAGA supporters, so getting thrown under the bus for Dear Leader doesn't bother them.

Cult.

Trump Videos at Arlington Stir More Fallout After Grave Site Visit

The family of a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving eight combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern Wednesday that Donald Trump’s campaign had filmed his grave site without permission as Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed...

Racist, anti-immigrant signs were posted at Denver bus stops. How Colorado officials are responding.

Several racist, anti-immigrant signs appeared seemingly overnight night at bus stops along Colfax Ave. Colorado officials vow to hold those responsible accountable.

The key word there is "Interfere". Definitions from The Oxford Dictionary:

"take part or intervene in an activity without invitation or necessity." Also "prevent (a process or activity) from continuing or being carried out properly."

And no Donald, you or any other President does not have the right to do it.

The stable genius must have spent it all on curing world hunger or cancer research.

His family have raised a lot of money for cancer. He even gave some of it to the affected kids. So what if he siphoned off half a mil? It's clearly operational expenses. Hair transplants don't come cheap ya know.

Best Stories Of The Decade: “How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business”

We're republishing our finest work from the past decade. Here, a masterpiece of reporting that systemically demonstrates how Eric Trump, at the direction of his father, the future president, shifted money that was supposed to go to help kids with cancer to the Trump Organization.

Alabama tried something similar back in 2011 to "fix" the immigrant problem. Of course who did it really hurt, the Alabama farmer. Without a cheap and viable labor source crops rotted in the fields. I remember at the time the politicians responsible for the law said there would be plenty of American citizens to pick those crops, there weren't.

Top 10 Reasons Alabama’s New Immigration Law Is a Disaster for Agriculture

The law’s onerous requirements and attacks on the workforce will translate into major economic losses for farmers and the state.

Even Rasmussen has Trump losing and trending downwards now.

And they're so right biased that fivethirtyeight.com stopped using them as a source for their analysis.

Analysis | 538 drops Rasmussen Reports from its analysis

The poll analysis site updated its rules for inclusion in January. The Republican-leaning firm no longer qualifies.

Trump’s not gonna like that. He’s used Rasmussen a few times recently as “proof” he’s doing great in the polls.

This is something I don't really understand.

That single statement is enough to prevent any government or contractor employee from getting a secret-level clearance, much less higher.

Can't be that hard to trace. The signs appear to be made of the same type of thick sheet aluminum as real signs, they can investigate what type of coating they've used for the printing, probably simple vinyl wrap but could be something more like what municipalities use, the rivets are a lot like real ones and are very large and require specific tools so it's gotta be somebody with access to those tools.

I wouldn't doubt it's some asshole who works for the city who has the knowledge to mount signs quick and easy, and the tools to do it properly. They're probably ordering from the same company who supplies their department and that company probably thinks it's hilarious to print these things after hours.

Find out whodunit, fire them, charge them, cancel the contract with that supplier.

Liz Chaney endorsing Kamala is a principled move from her, and unusual in the ranks of republicans. I had hoped Nikki Haley would have the same kind of conviction, but it's nice to see in Chaney for sure.

I want to go out on a limb and say that Liz is probably done in politics, at least as a Republican, for drawing the ire of Trump. There is no benefit for her to support Trump unless she wants to be a hypocrite. Haley is still trying to be an option for the party in 2028 and is acting extremely short-sighted.

Nikki Haley seems like a total you know what and I wouldn't vote for her if she was the single-party option.

I understand that Haley is trying to salvage her career in whatever form she can manage. But I would hope that some of these people actually gave a rat's ass about the country and other people. Liz is showing a lot of character. She's one of the few on that side that has any.

If she truly wanted to be an option for 2028, I think she should've refrained from endorsing Donald Duck. if the GOP base loves Trump, I can't see them to see her as an alternative in any way. On the other hand, if I'd be a Republican voter supporting Haley in this year's primaries, I'd be turned off by her endorsing of Trump - but that's just me.

Wouldn't just be you. Haley Voters for Harris is a thing. I wonder where Biden Voters for Trump is? Google seems to suggest that's not a thing.
