I was thinking this a few pages back, it feels so much lke they react to everything like it's tiktok and the idea is there but the execution is so amateur and lazy. Especially compared to the Trump campaign.

Example:
Kamala says Christians are at the wrong rally so 2 days later in response she pays to go to a black church and stands behind a cross and rambles about growing up Christian.

Kamala claims to work at McDonald's as a teenager, Trump uses his connections and goes to a Pennslyvanian McDonald's and physically works there and gives order.

There's more class, more humour, more political "campaignness" about what he did.
Her lie about growing up Christian calls to mind another of her lies-that her family celebrated Kwanzaa in the 1960s.

I think the image speaks for itself.
The regime this fuckin guy represents has put America in a situation where the bad outcome is nuclear war and the good outcome is most of the population going into old age penniless eating cricket flour while one dual passport holder owns all the land that isnt federal. And he says, you know, I cant imagine what would get you fired up to vote more than boomerslop pop culture icons and a bank advertisement. Maybe its not politicking, maybe hes being honest. He really doesnt know what he could say that would be better.
 
This isn't a collection of undecided voters, this is a collection of democrat voters who can't find a reason to not vote Trump. Orange man bad just doesn't cut it after four years of shit economy, illegal invaders and unchecked crime. These people are literally begging for Kamala to say something besides orange man bad so they can vote for her instead of him, or not voting.
 
I wondered where her staff get their ideas from:

I really does seem her campaign staff is using AI for all their strategy. In fact, I'm willing to bet that's responsible for a lot of the foolishness going on. They probably sold her on how AI is the wave of the future and will be better than they are. And from what I hear of her zoomer staff, they might be right if they did that.

I mean really, digging all these old fossils up even..
 
You're mixing up the Federal Insurrection Case with the State Hush Money case, there is no question of immunity in the Hush Money case because it all happened before he took office.
That's incorrect. The immunity ruling ended up delaying the New York sentencing as well. They charged him for having Cohen cover up the records, which happened after he took office. Sentencing was scheduled for early July before the ruling came down.

Its actually worse than that. There may be a way, theoretically, to thread the needle and somehow charge a President for a set of criminal actions that started before his Presidency and continued into it. (Hard to say, because the issue is so legally convoluted because the Supremes were trying to deal with the sheer idiot levels involved.) I use the word theoretically with optimism, because even imagining the most brilliant legal mind presented with the clearest set of legal facts, would likely decide to simply not pursue any post-election charges just to avoid the issue as cleanly as possible. Why walk blindfolded into a yard full of rakes when you can just....not do that?

Instead of doing that, Bragg decided that he was going to charge for all the checks cut while Trump was in office. A risky move, but potentially salvageable if he just refused to touch anything close to the White House or the actual Presidency. The only problem is that at every stage he used White House material to make the case move forward. He brought official White House communications and depositions from staff to the Grand Jury just to get the indictments. At trial he called as witnesses more White House personnel to grill them about conversations in the White House during the Trump Presidential term. All kinds of testimony, documents, and other evidence that is absolutely verboten (by the Supreme's Opinion) is woven into the fabric of this entire case from start to present.

On top of that, the judge in the case was so eager to railroad Trump that he also ignored and actively downplayed the potential issues. At every step of the way, Trump's legal team was filing their objections and making the very reasonable request to delay proceedings until they had guidance from the Supreme Court. Not only did the judge deny these requests, he went so far as to scold the lawyers for making the objections - as if they were frivolous. The judge could have just put everything on hold until a framework was defined, but he barreled on through regardless and now is in a real shitty situation.

He is holding off sentencing for two reasons:
1) Politics - the sentencing is going to provide a massive burst of political energy good from Trump, regardless. Either he gets jail time and is a martyr which boosts Trump's turnout, or the judge goes light and depressing the loony left who won't vote anymore because they were denied Trump behind bars.
2) Appeals - The minute he files sentencing, the Trump team is going to ask the court to stay the sentence pending appeal, and drop a brutal filing that is going to tear the trial judge apart for massive amounts of reversible error. (Not just on immunity, there are a lot of other issues but immunity is the biggest one since the SC made a ruling about it.) Its going to bring an incredible amount of scrutiny down on the judge, and put the appeals court in a real Morton's Fork. Either they dismiss the case/send it back to be retried and in the course make the trial judge look like a total dipshit asshole as well as themselves since they denied all interlocutory appeals. Or they rubber stamp the entire affair and send to the Supreme Court, who will be extremely pissed off that they have to waste their time dealing with the bullshit caused by multiple lower judges ignoring the SC's opinion.

Again, there is theoretically a path to getting Trump convicted of these charges and having them stick, bullshit as they are, because its a TDS-afflicted judge and appeals panel. However, Bragg and the trial judge decided to cripple their odds as much as possible because they were so eager to railroad Orange Man, and the sweet updoots they got in the moment distracted them from the problems they are having now.
 
I genuinely believe the Democrats are trying to stoke riots that get some people killed, and/or significant numbers of post-election suicides. The true believers among the Democrats have been taught to see suicidal manipulation as an inherently noble tactic, a true profession of faith. For them, a bunch of bodies would serve as a clarion call: look what you made us do.
Marxists only care about power and will throw as many bodies into the grinder as they think it will take to win. The question is how many bodies will line up? If the Revolutions of 1848 are any past lesson, the answer is: not that many. The majority of people will stay home, maintain the status quo because it's better, and the leaders of the revolution (who never get their hands dirty) will write books and essays about how the public failed them (which is where Marx coined the term lumpenproletariat, which really just means "everyone that should agree with me, but doesn't, those rotten bastards").
Wait a second, Diana, that doesn't exactly sound like the whitepill I needed today. No? Then you're not thinking hard enough. There's a conservative majority on the SCOTUS and you can bet your ass that even the less-Trumpy conservative justices won't want DNC lawfare to decide the election. Moreover, it means the Democrats don't seem like they have the ability to steal it, or they'd be trying to run some policy stuff at the last minute they could credit with the sudden lurches to the final counts vs. all known polling.
I can see the senior Supreme Court justices basically forcing KBJ and Sotomayor to agree with the majority and preventing them from writing some whiny dissent essay for unity purposes, and as a power move. It will be delicious.

Damn, you just know she got paid for that shilling.
 
Something I've been thinking about that you might have heard of, are the kids in charge of Kamala's campaign?

Now by kids I mean emotionally, but also a much younger class of Democratic operative. Those would be up and comers that the Democrats have been suppressing so the old ghouls can keep their positions, and keep a new generation stepping into power, and possibly screwing up their grift.

It feels to me like decisions are being made by people that think they are much smarter than they are, and I'm guessing its really more that they are inexperienced. Kamala's campaign is literally being run by people that don't know what they are doing and have no experience, and that's kind of the Democrat's on tops fault.
I disagree, I don't think this is all down to lack of experience and more a lack of critical thinking skills. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as fare as I know these campaigns and politics in general are an up and out system. You either move up, or you move out. Whatever talent the DNC had in the past has moved out when it became clear there is no moving up. All that's left is the aging assholes in power, and the dumb diversity hire, who literally isn't smart enough to run a campaign.

"Trump is Hitler, he loves Hitler, he wants to have Hitler's babies" is distasteful to an independent voter, sure, but it riles up the base. It's not really about riling them up into voting in 2024 at this point (though it might wring some extra donation dollars out of some SUNY adjuncts and public defenders). It's about making them absolutely terrified when Trump closes the deal.

I genuinely believe the Democrats are trying to stoke riots that get some people killed, and/or significant numbers of post-election suicides. The true believers among the Democrats have been taught to see suicidal manipulation as an inherently noble tactic, a true profession of faith. For them, a bunch of bodies would serve as a clarion call: look what you made us do.

Reinforcing "Trump=Hitler" to the party faithful also vastly increases the chances that we'll see some shenanigans where Harris refuses to certify results or some other bullshit will be attempted to administratively deny Trump the White House. Maybe New York will try to put him in prison.
I don't think this is what they are going for. I like the whitepill, but I don't think the democrats are stupid enough to tell their supports to kys. We all joke about the dead voting straight democrat, but I doubt its so easy filing out a ballot and writing the deceased's name. Or I hope.
 
This is the 2nd time this week I've unsubscribed from a Canadian "centrist" Youtuber who went full TDS. A few days ago J.J. McCollough infamously made a community post where he not only endorsed Kamala (from afar of course) but even said she's a capable leader. I can totally understand someone disliking Trump and even saying they only support Kamala because she's not him -- but this faggot even said he likes her and thinks she's a great leader regardless. Fuck him.

You forgot the part where J.J. also called himself a "party over country conservative" proud to stand with the likes of "Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger", and the point he made that the media is just giving Trump a free ride without pushback.

"mass" suicides could be as few as 10-100 people. That's a rounding error in voting but looks huge in newspapers, if it happens all at once. Look at the hay they've made from a couple dozen tranny hookers per year. The strategy is that a hundred thousand people will be badgered into "doing the right thing" and voting prog for every martyr.
 
Fat lady's winding up..
i've been seeing it more and more and i have to say i'm not a fan of how much media is these fast-talking used car salesmen type people drawing lines and circles on giant iPads. i'm sure the boomers they're virtual baby sitting for get a kick out of it though

I mean really, digging all these old fossils up even..
even with her name in the tiktok sig i had to look up who Cyndi Lauper was. she's the singer for that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun song from the early 80s. wow, what an endorsement
