2024 U.S. Presidential General Election Thread

[Reality Check]

Either he is broke, cheap or shook to hit the trail.

Broke? Yes
Cheap? Hell Yes
Too Shook? Might have to do with the shooting as far as getting the appropriate logistics to be outside

The idea that the media in this country is working with the average American's best interests in mind as they dig for the truth is complete and utter bullshyt because newspapers/magazines/radio and the like are all dead. It's about social media engagement and TV ratings. Does a fair analysis garner TV ratings or receive clicks? No... They are all trying to outhustle one another for a bullshyt story or "take" and truth be damned..

There are still "print" publications and journalists/reporters doing hard-hitting, investigative work for their media outlets, it's just that it gets a smaller share of the attention pie than ever before because, as you noted, social media and (decreasingly) TV are far more psychologically addictive media formats. I still believe that Kamala and other politicians should be engaging with the legitimate print/media outlets and journalists because that practice is one of the load-bearing walls of democracy. I've seen some disturbing posts in here denouncing the very concept of public accountability through the fourth estate because their favorite politician du jour was getting bad press, or allowing bad journalism to color the entire field. That's actually where the BlueMAGA term came from. Democrat partisans adopting MAGA positions on the press and seemingly welcoming the post-truth media landscape. Repealing Section 230 and treating social media sites like news publishers would go a long way to correcting the ills we see in media without throwing the baby of valuable journalism out with the bathwater.

More fukkery incoming.

The one he did yesterday was supposed to be about the economy until he said fukk it and started venting about all the things he doesn't like .

Trump is a menopausal woman trapped in a fat ADHD riddled man's body.

Damn this is some lazy ass campaigning. Either he is broke, cheap or shook to hit the trail.

He isn't just trying to save his ass from jail, but he is also trying to get his head above water. He still has to pay EJC and the Civil Fraud in NY. If he loses the Presidency, not only will he go to jail but all of his children will need to apply for their CDLs.

Kamala Harris must speak to the press | Margaret Sullivan

Even if you very much hope Harris prevails over Trump, that’s not a good enough reason to cheer on her press avoidance

oh oh...

This is like when Trump said if we voted for Hilary, we'd have a taco truck on every corner...

Exactly. Really highlights that fallout of not electing Hillary and how it hurt everyone and we're still living with the consequences to this day.



We better not fukk this up

 

[Shogun]

Harris is using Trump's inflation attack (well, attempts at an attack) as justification for her proposals.
Feel like her campaign is staying a step ahead of Trump.
Hope it pans out.

This Mr. Weeks guy has all kinds of receipts on Barron Trump. No wonder these pieces of shyt would get so offended when people would go after Barron. Sounds like he's just like trump and they didn't want all this information to get out.

Spoiler

OH SNAP! A former nanny,
@WonderKing82
, who claims he worked for a family with a kid at Barron Trump’s school is serving the tea on Barron, Melania, and Donald Dump. He’s said that 9 year-old Barron slapped the sh*t out of a nanny and was violent and abusive to other people: “Barron got caught killing animals. Barron tossed desk, spat on people, hit people repeatedly. He attacked someone with a knife multiple times. He was even accused of sexually touching someone at a sleepover that resulted in an investigation.” He also spilled that Barron apparently likes to torture animals: “Barron has killed 2 birds, 3 rabbits and 1 dog. Within the 10 years of me being that community. He attacked 2 kids on different occasions with a knife... one at a sleep over and in the park.” In another post he said: “Barron got caught killing a rabbit. He recorded it and decided to show kids at school.” He also posted: “When Barron Trump would get extremely mad, he would shyt his pants so people would stay away from him.” He claimed Melania Trump is a “functioning drunk”: “Mrs Trump always had a special drink, at birthday parties, playdates..etc.. in her special water bottle.” On their marriage: “Barron was telling classmates his parents were heading for a nasty divorce. Somehow, they managed to mend their broken hearts in 2015, right before the election. They were living separately for 2 years until 2015 rolled around. I guess the campaign helped them find love again.” Another post knocks their net worth: “Donald Trump financial records got leaked at the school by students, and he's worth at that time, a little over 500M. He was furious because he claimed to be the riches family in the school, and he just missed being in top 10.” Yikes! Barron is a psycho and Melania is a lush who didn’t live with Donald before the election. Not shocked.

Kid gives me Bateman vibes. I see blood-stained sheets and videotape returns in his future

More fukkery incoming.

I live in the York area This place dikkrides MAGA hard, you’d think the notion of campaigning would be to visit areas to change peoples’ minds.

Looked up where he is speaking, it’s at some manufacturing spot. These idiots don’t realize it’s raging capitalists like him that gutted the US from manufacturing.

Other conservatives were offended simply by what Walz had characterized as “white guy” food.

“This isn’t cute,” Fox News columnist David Marcus wrote. “Walz is being used as a clown to mock white people. If Walz doesn’t like spicy food that’s fine, but it has nothing to do with being a white guy.”

how will we ever overcome this, as a people

HOW?
