Trumpworld Howls Over The Switch From Biden To Harris

@benthere

Kellyanne Conway, wasn’t she Norman Bates’ mother in PSYCHO??

TWINS!

This quote is, by far, the most cited LBJ quote here. That it is so frequently brought up here is unfortunate, given he was one of our finest civil rights presidents, ever.

The LBJ quote that deserves more citations here is when he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and when quietly handing one of the pens to a young aid, said, “I’ve just handed the South over to the GOP for the next 40 years” and little did he know he was being an optimist.

The polls have offered a long list of explanations for [Biden’s] weakness, and many of them had nothing to do with his age. A majority of voters have said the country is heading in the wrong direction. They have said the economic and political system in the country is broken. They’re deeply concerned about the economy and immigration — two of Mr. Trump’s strongest issues in surveys. In poll after poll, voters say they’re looking for change.

It’s hard to run a democracy with an ignorant population; it’s even harder when that ignorance is wilfull, i.e., not amenable to knowledge.

Apparently the skin botox / stretching / biochemical experimentation from a few years back didn’t hold.

“She does not speak well,” Conway said. “She does not work hard.”

I think that if Kellyanne changed “she” to “Trump” she’d be speaking the truth for the first and only time.

Interesting to note that Conway’s predictably racist canard actually does apply to Trump. Every accusation is a confession.

My term is “deliberate stupidity”. The idea has many facets.

Jason Miller, who has helped helm Trump’s PR apparatus since 2016, announced on NBC on Sunday that he had identified a core Harris vulnerability: “She wants to ban plastic straws.”

It’s a literal straw man argument.

@evave2

Should Dems start saying the Nazi Republican Party? Give them a ‘better’ (in our opinion)) name?

Drop the “Republican.”

Since when does Steve Miller care about voters and “ballots” In any political context?

@justruss

Next up, Steve Bannon comments on Harris’ hygiene.

Didn’t he report to prison this month?

[thebishop]

Yes, and he probably hasn’t had a shower since he went in, so his comments will be particularly germain.

Trump does not do Plan Bs.

@coprophagoussmile

I think enough normal people will show up to drop kick them in November.

And then you’ll never lose that grin…

[saeomon]

And wants to ban them.

@justruss

I am having a hard time grasping that the Trump campaign did not game this all out to begin with. The possibility has been there for some time.

Republicans, but especially Trump Republicans, don’t think period. They’re bad at planning, bad at executing a half-assed plan, and their only strength is whining.

[justruss]

@thebishop

so his comments will be particularly germain.

Or Germy.

[fiftygigs]

he’s dropping out of the next debate as currently scheduled

Donald Trump is not only a coward, he’s a lyin’ coward.

"Harris, Conway said on Fox News, is lazy and inarticulate. “She does not speak well,” Conway said. “She does not work hard.”

You’ve. Got. To. Be. Shitting. Me.

Say, Kellyanne, are really glad to see me? Or are you just picking my pocket? pace LBJ
