Reminds me of that SNL skit he was in: https://youtu.be/7AWuBh1MbbM?si=UVg016Prcl9WbYYB
I love it. But I'd love more signs pointing out how much he hates veterans. That's something I'd donate to.
And that he hates unions, in areas of high union population
Republican Voters Against Trump have been running veteran billboards for a while. The DNC has been running billboards calling him and anti-union scab.
I think the chicken angle hits a bit different though, a lot of people write off everything trump says as just talk, and many attacks seem to get ignored as slander, but the fact he's unwilling to debate is a plain and uncontested fact, one that makes him look weak.
I want more about how he's the only president to advocate for a complete gun ban.
I can't believe Harris's campaign isn't pressing harder on that point.
I know about the time he said "take the guns, due process later", and the blanket bump stock back, but was there more?
No, but that should be enough.
That's more than most (maybe all?) elected Democrats have ever said.
And yet...
Him being afraid of debating Harris again makes me believe he's a little less braindead than I could assume, lmao.
I'm just trying to imagine the person who drives through town, sees that sign, and makes up their mind on who to vote for based on that message.
Everyones mind is made up. At this point it's just about turn out. If you can make a candidate look more Pathetic right before voting, the enthusiasm to support them by actually doing something that requires a little effort dwindles.
But didn't he say he won? While rattling off bingo numbers that seemed to have no correlation with the Polish?
Edit: Oh, god. I've gone for too many jokes at once. Maybe it's time I have a kid so I can relish in their disappointment of such situations.
Edit Edit: Wow. I'm really pessimistic today.
They need to pop up in Florida, all around Mar-a-Lago.
Sometimes, you just gotta say "cluck it" and walk away.
Orange Chicken (but not the delicious kind)
Tooto chicken debate!
It's a cock-fighting-like event but more civilised where chickens debate each other, they each have little tables & get prep time.
The winner gets a bucket of mealworms. The loser gets the same, bcs chickens are good girls.
Too-to ("Tutu") was the legendary supreme chicken debate champion that a set of debate rules is now named after, in her honour.
(TIL when I searched for a pic there is a chicken tutu market)
Oh, I thought the loser would be sold to a rotisserie. My bad. 😅
No.
But pole dancing is just as valid career choice as debating.
And has significantly greater benefits to society.
Truly funny.
It's dumb and petty, and yet it's the level that you need to stoop to to deal with people like Trump, they only understand pettiness.
I have seen hens and roos take on hawks. Don't insult them by comparing them to Trump
No need to change the hair color either. Chicken yellow. But they had to screw up with the face.
Real or not all this reminds me of is the later seasons of West Wing.
I was gonna ask if Josh Lyman has a new job?
I wish the dems would let this go. They’re going to get him to agree to debate and then Kamala is going to make some minor flub that the press will run wild with despite Trump constantly speaking in word salad. The last thing you want is a “Howard Dean scream” this late in the campaign cycle. Just let Tim Walz mop up the floor with Vance in October, and then let us all vote.
No, this is exactly where they can hurt him.
Trump and his followers believe that they represent the silent majority that still has "real" values - like honor, strength and misogyny.
Calling them out as weird and cowards attacks exactly these values. It turns their own self image against them.
Hell no. Play to win. As soon as you start playing to "not lose", you'll lose.
I love the confidence of this and let's not pretend she won't smack him harder the second time. She's a former prosecutor and she's also not 800 years old.
He's scared, weak, and fragile. Call him out on it.
The last debate hurt his polling numbers measurably. The press can say whatever they want. Doesn't make it true
They can't get mad about this just because democrats are better at.
