Yeah, this one doesn't hold water either... I'm sure he kicked a dog or something at some point. I'm gonna hold out for that one.

Don't forget about refusing to visit the American WWII cemetery in France because they were also "losers"...

It's funny to me because the recent press conference made it pretty clear that the Trump/Vance campaign is aware they have massive problem with women. This is why he came out and attempted to rewrite the narrative around the repeal of Roe.

So, it was really important that he get out and find a way to win with women and escape his past on Roe. Meanwhile someone else at the campaign is pushing all this tampon attack line garbage.

Tell me you don't support or understand women's issues without telling me you don't understand women's issues. It's comical how poor his campaign and the wider GOP strategy is being handled. He forced out all the reasonably competent GOP strategists and he is left with clowns.

The Walz stolen valor attack line is the same thing.... It opens up harder on Vance way than Walz. Their military records aren't favorably comparable for Vance.

I have a few veterans friends who were big Trump supporters. Two of the three have decided to bow out this round. They say they can't vote for Harris which I get. They are hard 2nd amendment advocates and I can respect that. Now they feel like they can't vote for Trump because of the swift boating on Walz. I'm surprised, but both of them are just planning to sit this one out now. The third is desperately trying to get them to reconsider. They were already on the edge based on Trump's "last time you need to vote" comments. I think the disrespect to Walz was the final straw.

It's crazy to watch this guy find new and innovative ways to implode.

Just insane.

This is all psyop astroturf. Most americans are so easy to gaslight. Even if the stuff not posted directly by bots are the people who are most gullible amplifying the propaganda. If people really wanted to do something for Palestine they would focus on keeping Trump out of the whitehouse and after that or simultaneously focus their efforts on AIPAC and helping those AIPAC is targeting to eliminate from Congress.

Frantically working to prove she cannot think freely or objectively.

She is spot on. Harris doesn't make a better top of ticket.

They can wish that I guess, but a state funeral "trumps" a failed assassination like 9 times out of 10. Kicking it in office of natural causes is some FDR shit.

Yeah, I am with you.

Lots of 3rd parties are complicit. That's why critical thinking and understanding conscious and unconscious bias is so important. Third parties with agenda are and always will be present. The trick is getting people to understand article by article what is biased or propaganda and how to suss it out. At least the ability to be suspicious without the need to jump to being a full on conspiracy theorist. IDK, it's just so disappointing.

Because people are absolutely idiots. Not a race thing... Most people of all colors and creeds seem incapable of going more than surface deep on anything. I don't know when we dropped our critical thinking skills, but I know it will be the end of us. I think this is what Generations theory sort of predicts. We stop caring about facts, logic, etc. We just drive ourselves into hardship until things are so bad that we realize these things have value . That's my Strauss-Howe pitch of th day. Welcome to the worst part of the seculum.

Even if that is true.. it seems small. Dude just had to sell a jet.
