She is a different version of Obama in his eyes and he already tried all the racism and it didn't work. It's fun to watch him squirm.

Don't let your guard down. We still have to get so far past the finish line that SCROTUS can't pull another Al Gore.

That said, I'm quite enjoying watching him squirm as well

[-] paf0@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I'm less concerned about the SC and more concerned with random acts terrorism that will come with a decisive loss. They will only hear the case if it's close and sometimes it seems like Trump is trying to lose.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I'm concerned with how there are about three different terrifyingly-viable ways for Trump to end up with the Presidency that don't involve getting ≥270 Electoral College votes.

Bush v. Gore 2.0
Jan 6 2.0
Having MAGAs disrupt vote certifications in enough states that neither candidate gets to 270 and the election is thrown to a "one state, one vote" poll in the House.

Mr. Gore's name being split on to two different lines for me made me read it as "Artificial Intelligence Gore."

An Inconvenient Truth 2.0

She's definitely not Obama. Her weakness is policy. She has intentionally avoided the topic because she would undoubtedly alienate some of that "joy" that they're doing so well courting.

Thing is, the GOP in general is extremely weak on policy. And Trump is the worst of the bunch.

So she's probably good, unless the GOP can somehow make her define her stance in certain terms. Which she has always avoided like the plague in the past.

Agreed, she is vague now. I liked her better when she defined things:

The whole point of picking J.D. Vance was to counter Harris. Now that she's top of ticket, not only does Trump not know what to do, Vance is pointless against Walz.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

The Vance pick had nothing to do with the campaign. When Trump picked Vance he thought that he was guaranteed a victory. He picked Vance to ingratiate himself with Silicon Valley during his Presidency.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Trump picked Vance because he has an Indian wife and could counter a Harris VP with "I'm not racist, look who I married!"

That got blown up when Harris was elevated and going against Trump.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

But he doesn't counter Harris at all.

It's just more Trump. A counter would have been Nikki Haley, but that darn misogyny got in the way.

No. Vance said these magic words:

"I would not have certified the 2020 election."

That's all it took.

[-] Mobiledecay@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

It's only a matter of time before they just start calling her the n word. 🤷‍♂️

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

What a nasty woman....

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

One option is to fuck himself in the ass with a bicycle.

[-] finley@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

There are so many things he can go fuck himself with.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Seems like a waste of a good bicycle. He should fuck himself in the ass with a worthless car instead.

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm on board with this approach. If I may suggest an additional step - perform a quarter turn on the vertical axis after insertion.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Its so nice not having to think about Biden in this election.

[-] finley@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Who?

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He’s the guy that continues to approve arms shipments to Israel. Not a good guy

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

It's more than a month ago Biden stepped aside and trump is still out of ideas. Guess he is still working on that infrastructure bill.
