The tool of all tools speaks out.


ormer Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) lavished praise on Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), suggesting the duo will put “hope” back on the ballot in November.

“Instead of hatred, there is hope,” O’Rourke said of the Harris-Walz campaign in an interview Friday with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on “Deadline: White House.”

He added, “Instead of grievance, there is aspiration. And that’s really America at its best.”

O’Rourke, like Harris, ran an unsuccessful primary bid against President Biden in the 2020 Democratic presidential race. He also served alongside Walz during his six years in the House.

“I just can’t tell you how proud I am of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz for finding this moment, and getting kind of past the stuff that gets cooked up in political laboratories, or the corporate side of our politics,” the former Texas gubernatorial candidate continued. “And just finding what is fundamental to democracy, which is people being with people, finding connection and joy in that.”

Harris’s rise to the top of the Democratic ticket after President Biden withdrew his candidacy has energized and excited those in her party. She has secured massive amounts of fundraising and her campaign has held large rallies in important swing states in the last week. Her team boasted that 14,000 people attended her rally in Philadelphia Tuesday and 15,000 attended another event in Detroit Wednesday night.

Harris is also neck-and-neck with Trump in polling, with the former president garnering 47.4 percent to the vice president’s 47.2 percent in an average of national polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ.

Trump gave an exasperated response when asked whether he fears Harris’s crowd sizes at a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida Thursday.

“Oh, give me a break,” Trump said. “Listen, I had 107,000 people in New Jersey, you didn’t report it. I’m so glad you asked. What did she have yesterday, 2,000 people?”

Kamabla's campaign is using a doctored photo to pretend it has anywhere near the Trump rally attendance, the guy circled some odd spots in red, at least they blurred the AI stuff in the foreground to be not as obvious:

I can never understand how someone can insist that Trump isnt really rich while knowing that the man owns and operates two private jumbo jets
What causes this? are these people stupid? are they crazy? are they just disingenuous? If they are just disingenuous then how dumb do they have to be to think this is going to trick people into thinking hes not really rich?
Then the articles about how no fortune 500 CEOs want Trump to win while simultaneously saying hes the one that the evil corporations support.
I know its not a surprise that the liberal/democrat audience doesnt care about hypocrisy, and I completely understand and expect that at this point, but I still cant wrap my head around how they can operate this way.
How is it that they arent at least in contact with a single person that calls them out on this stuff? do they just isolate themselves away from anyone that pushes back?
Do they actually not hold any real political beliefs? Is politics just a social exercise for them?
At this point I can pretty much predict what their opinion on any policy or event will be (although some of the mega copes still take me by surprise), but I cant understand how they can have the opinions they do.
Its like they live in a sitcom where everything resets at the end of every episode, and each issue is a new episode.
They can completely contradict previous opinions because each argument exists in complete isolation from all other ones, even if they occur within seconds of each other.
At least in the past there was some attempt to make political lies believable, they dont even care anymore, now they will lie to you knowing that you know its a lie, and that you know they know its a lie and they just dont care.

I was skeptical about them using AI/photo-shopped images to inflate the crowd size, but this is pretty definitive. I'll be interested to see what the campaign has to say about this, if anything at all.

(Choosing this word to quote randomly since I cant reply to the entire thing)

So Monday is the start of the DNC. Do you think that they'll try to just be "vibes" the entire time, even though the intent (from my point of view) is to lay out a national policy? I know that it will be highly likely that it won't be as watched as the RNC was, but I'm curious if people will notice the flip-flopping not by Harris herself but the party as a whole during the week. For instance, I'm expecting one night to be pro-women, pro-Jew, and the next night to be pro-troon, pro-Muslim.

Iirc, while there were pro-Jew things at the RNC, they didn't outright say they were choosing Israel over Palestine (please correct me if I'm wrong). However, due to the much larger contingent of Muslims in the Dem constituents, the DNC is more pressured to take a stance on it.

Also the tone of the journos is interesting. Iirc with Obama, they were treated as whatever and they had to basically beg and plead for being able to report on him and his events. It's interesting to see how they were ok about it from him but don't like it from Harris. Wonder why. I think it's due to Obama having a shinier veneer, as well as Obama giving them something while Harris admin is giving them nothing, but I'd like to hear other people's thoughts.

As a final note thank you for your white pills, they are invaluable.

Not directly campaign related, but not far from here we have a pajeet from the WH doing the Smollett bit, even using another person's real photo (Felony).

A lot of Democrats see the writing on the wall and want to spend time/money/energy protecting down-ballot races instead of propping up Kamala.

We're talking about the same group of people who's histrionic fits about being exposed to gamers, who just wanted to play video games, were sufficiently vicious, pervasive and unhinged to result in every social media platform on the planet simultaneously destroying their business models.

Yes, they do cut off anyone or anything that could challenge their preconceived view of reality.

Niggers don't earn salaries. They sell stolen goods and get government benefits. They don't own anything, either, they even rent sneakers.

To be candid, he does look like he's having a chill time overall. I mean if I were in his shoes, knowing that I'm not even really in charge and that even my own party has turned on me and forced me to give up my second presidential bid, I'd probably just stop caring for last couple of months of my term too. Probably screw off to the Caribbeans and enjoy the beachside while slurping margaritas.

Do you think young people in 1984 were rocking out to wartime tunes? Spoiler: I was there, we weren't.

to be fair i don't know what it was like in the 80s, but i personally know a lot of people under the age of 30 (myself included) that have at last a few 50s crooners in their playlist. I think it's mostly due to the fallout games but it's not uncommon for young people to be listening to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash or an assorted collection of old folk songs.

You're quite young, aren't you? Chart music hasn't changed in the past 20+ years. It's all the same shit, except for maybe the occasional song that sounds OK once in a blue moon. Compare this video of clips of music videos from 2004 to the 20 years since and then compare it to the 20 years before then.


Young people today still LOVE music from 40 (or even 50+) years ago. Do you think young people in 1984 were rocking out to wartime tunes? Spoiler: I was there, we weren't. Here is a video of a 10 year old boy at some modern band's concert. He wants to play guitar with them so they bring him onstage. He doesn't want to play one of their songs with them though, he wants to play Sweet Child O' Mine by his favorite band Guns 'N Roses. Can you imagine a 10 year old boy being brought onstage at a Guns 'N Roses concert in 1987 and him asking to play a song from 1950 by his favourite 50s band?

I think that's largely due to the advent of the internet making classic gems more accessible.
