Get fucked, America, you absolute jokers. People assumed she'd outline something different to Biden so were enthused. Now she's confirmed no change.

aimaad22 4156 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Something I try to keep explaining to my arab/muslim friends here many of whom seem to think voting for Trump is punishing Biden for the Gaza genocide. While the democrats definitely need to be accountable for that Trump really isn't the answer to any question ffs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voting system is so rigged towards the Republicans Harris needs to be plus 6% before you can have any sort of hope never mind confidence I seem to remember Biden was 6 points ahead and barely squeaked in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading there about Beyoncé not getting nominated for a Country Music Award but one of the people who was nominated was a singer who was ‘cancelled’ a few years ago for using the N word. After that radio stations stopped playing his songs and the record company dropped him etc but after the furore died down it all went back to normal. The interesting thing though was that immediately after the controversy broke his record sales increased 100% in the following week. This is the sort of people you’re dealing with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vance was supposed to be the successor and he stinks the place out at the rallies. Trump is a unique character. He's a non career politician, bizarre product of the 80s. Basically a TV character, genuinely funny, he chats wild shit, tells provable lies, and gets away with all of it. I really don't think that's gonna be very easy to replace. If he wins he’ll choose his own successor…and he won’t be leaving office unless it’s in a box… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what the bloke is. I'm not playing it down at all, I'm not shooting the messenger, and I'm not even disagreeing with you that he behaves like the leader of a crime family. I don't believe that he can be easily replaced with a successor, that's all we're disagreeing on. Voters don't like him because he's a gangster. They like him because he's a showman. A fairly unique showman in a political setting. That's not remotely easy to replace. He can pick his successor, but he tried that with Vance and the bloke can parrot all of the Trump lines, but he has quickly been exposed as a charisma vacuum. The Trump base doesn't want someone doing the Trump lines, they want Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42387 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Just a point of pedantry re. Trump being funny. He’s not funny, he’s laughable. Mainly because he completely lacks a sense of humour. Obama is funny, he has a dry wit. Bush is funny, he plays up his Good Ole Boy persona- they have a sense of humour, and crucially, can laugh at themselves. I honestly can’t think of a single instance where I’ve seen Trump laughing at himself or someone else making a joke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21588 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Newsagents on it today. I try not to think about it. I mean, we had Johnson, but the system and people in this country ultimately worked and turfed him out on his arse. Trump though? I just cannot get my head round why anyone would vote for that putrid mess, even before considering the threat to democracy, no, the end of democracy, he represents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't try to get your head around it, it will never make sense to anyone outside of America. Trump will actively quote project 2025, even after denying any involvement in it and all it does is strengthen his hand with half of the US population because they are fucking idiots. Some old fucking yank divvy was on BBC breakfast this morning claiming he trusts Trump more than Harris over sorting out the American industrial sector because Harris "has had 3.5 years and done nothing for the industry" ignoring that Harris has spent that time as VP - so technically it's Biden who did nothing, and completely ignoring that Trump had the entire 4 years prior to that and did absolutely nothing. They are beyond help IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trump could have a rambling stinkfest, it would be helpful for Harris to win the lion's share of the remaining undecideds. Btw undecided voters can get to fuck in general, but undecided voters in this situation are not fit to draw breath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44811 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Always wary of believing my Bluesky commentariat, cos these people were still telling me Biden was fine right up until he pulled out of the race, but it sounds like Harris had a very good night, and Trump a very bad one. Even Trump brown-noser in chief Lindsay Graham called it a disaster and said whoever did Trump's debate prep should be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44811 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Trump claiming on live national TV that in some towns immigrants are eating people's pets and that in Virginia they "let the baby be born and then make up their mind" about whether to abort it. Aye I think the reports of a bad night for Trump might be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said at one point (referencing Putin) he'd eat you alive. Consensus seems to be she murdered him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clip of Harris laughing at Trump as he talks about immigrants eating pets is quality. I tend to keep the radio on at a low level of ambient noise as I drift off to sleep at night. Last night I woke, or thought I woke, at around 2 am and they were playing this debate, at this point. Waking up this morning I wasn't sure if I had dreamt this or not, Trump claiming that IMMUGRANTS ARE EATING OUR PETZ! Yeah, turns out he did say it, and he is becoming favourite to be the next president again. Nice one America. https://news.sky.com/video/donald-trump-illegal-immigrants-are-eating-pets-in-springfield-13212686 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44811 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) Her answer on Ukraine is quality. Trump was asked if he wanted Ukraine to win the war and just said he wanted the war to be over. Wouldn't commit to wanting Ukraine to win, despite being asked several times. She comes on and says that if he was in power, Putin would already be in Kyiv, and eyeing the rest of Europe starting with Poland, and would Trump like to tell the 800,000 Polish Americans living in Pennsylvania how quickly he would give Polanf up for the sake of favour, and what he thinks is a friendship with Putin, a dictator who would eat him for lunch. I mean fucking hell, Pennsylvania is basically the keys to the white house for Harris. It's obviously a memorised answer that has been rehearsed, but she delivered it to perfection. She probably only needs 10% of that 800k to sit up and take notice to that answer. Edited September 11 by Gemmill 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
