He’s besties with Trump Jr

Apparently that’s the singular qualification needed

It’s always hard to find impacts of VP picks but I really wonder what the race would look like if Trump picked Nicky Haley. I completely believe that Vance was based on Don jr’s advice because it looks like such a dumb pick. How do you see what that guys wrote in the past, spend 5 minutes with him and not
realize he’s an awful pick.

A termination of pregnancy in the 9th month is always due to a non-viable fetus, and is in every circumstance a medical mercy to both mother and child.

You keep missing the "r".

we're on to post-birth abortions now, catch up


pretty sure the fact that vance is the dog of peter thiel et al is faaarrr more important than whatever jr thnks. trump legit does not seem to gaf about his sons, to the point that kushlash seems like his only son

JD Vance doesn't poll well

veep not moving the needle is a feature, not a bug.

vance moved the needle...

agreed but at least he is taking interviews and speaking without a teleprompter.

Its been a great 3 weeks for Kamala will see how she fares down the stretch and without a teleprompter.

it's going to be so nice to see the magats scurry away after november. will be time for the loozens of the world to crawl back in their holes.

Sadly Ill still be here and the election is not over yet . Heck with Joe and Kamala at the helm the world could end before we hit an election

Here's a good piece on the choice from The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/newslett...Atlantic+Daily

You don’t have to be though

Just think of how great Elon’s X is

Walz’s speech is definitely required viewing

Except for lozen Luciom bahahahaha blowjob playbig etc etc. not sure youlll get much out of it

lol, he'd lose in a landslide if he did that

In a normal setting I agree that the running mate adds little (but not nothing) and at worst is a catastrophe

This election seems to be the anthesis to that. Dems are putting up ‘whoever the **** isn’t trump or biden’ so the running mate is critical and I think they knocked it out of the park with walz who is clearly a charismatic guy with flyover appeal which is exactly what the Dems need with the top of the ticket being someone thrust into the ‘not joe biden’ slot and is pretty uncharismatic

Besides that, RFK isn’t going anywhere and is apparently in line to be trump’s HHS Secretary (****ing lol) if trump wins. Can’t give people a reason to spitevote that half a dipshit if you can balance the ticket with someone a would be RFK voter is fine with

Meanwhile trump remains a deeply unpopular human being who the only reason half the country is glad he wasn’t killed is only because the consequences of trump’s assassination aren’t worth being in a world without him. I don’t know if a candidate exists that would get him broader support but he could have at least avoided the ones who bring less than nothing to the table

Again why Harris would take the mic 3 weeks when she got confirm only yesterday ?
There was already enough on her and the party to see if everything would go smoothly or not .

Why any network would waste time on someone not knowing if it would matters 2 weeks later?

It has been a surprising turnaround. Barely over two weeks ago I was trying to figure out which would be the bigger disaster between Biden staying in or dropping out, and right on the heels of Trump surviving an assassination attempt too.

Not only is she doing okay she's unquestionably killing it with fundraising. Last month was nuts, how much was post July 21 we'll fund out later but we already know it was at least 2/3rds. We'll have to see how that holds up but there's still the DNC to come. Of course they can't match the powerhouse that is Kid Rock but I'm sure they'll find some folks.

Either way at this point today she's at least not lost ground and very likely gained some, which is better than I expected.

He's a Thiel-funded plant by the US technogarchs. Trump and Jr had no say in the matter.

It’s sad to see Walz depart from MN, but he is as good as advertised. Put aside the speech and he is just a salt of the earth, honorable, stand up guy. Teacher, national guard, congressperson with an impeccable record and an amazing governor. We were trying to hide him away here but you all found him, so sad for us but great for the country

Occurs to me I should temper any enthusiasm when I remind myself she's running against a guy with 30-something felony convictions, who was found liable of sexual assault in civil court, who effectively brought the end of Roe v Wade in a country where the majority are pro-choice. Then he's a draft dodger, Putin apologist, who attempted to overthrow election results. Half the people in his inner circle now publicly paint him as a POS, include his former VP. Paying hush money to porn stars, that little Jan 6 incident and about 100 other things I don't have time to list.

So good job Harris but this is what you're neck and neck with and so I'm probably giving too much credit

Well at least it's a well oiled machine ready for the three month battle. Genius came up with clear path to victory here, or did FellaGaga-52 tip him off?

Continuing to campaign against Joe Biden doesn't seem like the best strategy but it's at least on brand

Anybody remember the "Mack North" SNL sketches from the 90s? Not quite the same thing but reminds me of it. Will Ferrell wins a Congressional race and continues to run ads mocking the loser after the election is over

Because the definition of "legal" is "conforming to law or established rules."

I remember the first time I looked up Joe Biden on Twitter, and I thought whoever was writing up his tweets for him was doing a good job.

Every time I look at what Trump writes I know Trump actually wrote it.

in fire and fury they said one of the most frustrating things in the world for his staffers are their inability to stop him from tweeting whatever whimsy comes into his mind at whatever odd hours - how they often battled to take his twitter away but he'd never give it up nor agree to stop posting without running things by them first
