Brandon may have just thrown the election...!

[Zanary]

I'm not gonna bother with a link, it's a headline everywhere.

But, for anyone not paying attention, after the (admittedly sh***y, classless, dumbass, and otherwise on-brand) junk performance at Trumplestilskin's rally over the weekend where Puerto Rico was called a "floating pile of garbage" among other classless junk thrown around, ol' babbling "Brandon" responded that the garbage he sees is "Trump supporters".

Oh, the terrible pains of senility...I don't think there's enough damage control to put this "deplorable" toothpaste back in the tube, kids.

The rules are pretty simple: if orange boi and his rabble are going to corner the "classless s**t people" market, you have to LET THEM...and do NOT compete, do not get pulled into the game, because the only real way to respond in modern social media is to let degenerate filth look like degenerate filth...and differentiate by example.

Even ol' "heels up" had learned this, and just shook her head sagely at whatever the Donald sputtered about her supposed brain damage, etc, in his drool-induced rantings. The truth may be that she also lacked even the tiny wit to respond to that level of jibe, but...I think her PR team (which, let's face it, is all the dnc really is beyond power mongering) just told her to address him like a snarky 3 year old nephew overdue for a nap. Frankly, it was the smart play.

Ol' grandpa Joe, though...even after theoretically stepping off the stage, may have just juiced the remaining undecided voters into walking the other way.

Stay tuned...!

I find it highly unlikely that in the big picture this really does anything, in less than a week before the election, with the US as fucked up as it has been in my lifetime, those who are going to vote ( but havent already done so ) have made up their mind and it would take a colossal blunder to make them change it at this point. this might motivate a fraction of a % to actually go vote for Trump, but are they in a state where it would even make a difference? Doubt it.

Honestly if the last 4 years and the lies and that the left have been caught in for the last decade plus dont move the needle for any voters, why would this? Hell most that would vote for the Harris Walz mess are likely chuckling in agreement with brandon... which is their right.

It made me laugh as Harris was giving her kumbaya speech but the reality is that Harris did the exact same thing to herself here yesterday. I was watching the World Series last night and we had back to back Harris commercials (It's Madison...what'd you expect). The first was her condemning the politics of hate and division and describing herself as a different type of candidate. The second commercial was a dark "Trump is evil/dangerous and needs to be stopped". Both were "approved" Harris commercials. Somebody missed a memo...

I thought Trump telling his supporters to ignore the senile old man and ignore him was the right thing to do.

Is any of this worse than the Nazi nonsense that has been prevalent the last few weeks?

Both Harris and Trump are in WI today. Harris is in Madison with Mumford and Sons and Gracie Abrams. They're trying to entice the out of state students to register and vote in WI. Trump is up in Green Bay with Favre. Here's how WI Public Radio described the rallies... "Harris hopes to inspire in Madison while Trump holds a rally in Green Bay". Good stuff. Favre has the ability to say something stupid so there's still a chance for your girl Z.

Its always the economy, always...Well, unless we're in a major war.

I cant stomach the guy, but going after Trump personally only appeals to one side and is senseless as a major strategy.

Someday, hopefully in our lifetimes, we'll have a Potus candidate that has some apppeal across the aisle.

Well, we're already in "BIBBLE BIBBBLE BIBBLE ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!! ONLY REPUBLICAN VOTERS ARE BEING SUPPRESSED!! VOTER FRAUD!! BIBBLE BIBBLE BIBBLE!!!" from the b*tch-king of orange snowflakes and his victim industry, who will now whine like a bearing a decade away from grease about everything being unfair to the only fan club that could possibly digest such piles of bullshit...

...before election day is even here.

Poor widdle twumpykins, poor widdle wedcaps, somehow being bullied despite talking such big, steaming turds so loudly and often!!!

So, are they a big, strong, formidable party fit to lead the country to greatness, or quit-b*tches pre-filing their whining before going into full shrieks this time next week?

For fuggsakes, people may vote jackass just because they know they get quieter lying sacks of s**t in the deal. I've pointed out the dangers of "polarizing" in previous threads, here, and behaving like petulant, crying main-bois early and often sure as hell is gonna bring strong opinions.

Seriously, even with our current president of the state of dementia tripping over his tongue, his "side" can't compete with the moronic noise machine across the street. Crying a week before the whistle...and does anyone wanna bet how the "proof" shakes out, again?

Not exactly celebrating, today (wasn't gonna with either likely result), but...yeah, called it.

Last. Nights results had very little to do with the comment a few days ago and very much to do with the results of the last 4 years.  If biden and the ho hadnt fucked things up so badly,  joe could have said whatever he wanted and she would have gotten elected,   but this last 4 years will likely be viewed historically as the worst presidency in our country's history.

(Go ahead and take my points Al)

I'd argue the "worst 4 years", especially with Carter and similar eras to compare to. That said, the economy and the border cost "Sleepy and the Ho" brutally.

Record Dow numbers and our eonomic recovery from COVID being among the world's best kinda make that side of things look less dire than some headlines may suggest. Still, pump and grocery prices are brutal, and that's where the everyday folks will feel it most.

We'll see what's ahead. I've been talking a bunch of my musician buddies back from the ledge all day, the women in particular. I remind them that the noise was far worse than the reality last time around, so filtering out some of the media blather (this is when neutral/dry news agencies serve very well) and worry about what's done, much more than what's said.

The outgoing prez is a babbling tool, the returning prez is a lying skidmark, so the words are best ignored and judgement reserved for actions.
