Governor Haircut vs Elon "Deeznuts" Musk:

I wonder how Haircut will enforce his ban on internet parody?

So I've never earned a dime dispensing campaign advice, but it seems rather obvious to me that Republicans/right-wing commentators, etc, would all quit referring to you-know-who as VP Harris or Laffin' Kamala, and just call her Border Czar Harris. At least until they get the point across. Right?

One funny thing about the "weird" myth they're spreading is that almost every time I hear Trump speak I come away thinking, "man, that guy is weird." I was ahead of the curve.

Speaking of attacks on Vance, I guess the October/September surprise is going to be about him. After all, they've already pulled out all the stops when it comes to Trump. It's hard to imagine they're holding anything back. Unless they've been keeping back the Epstein dox for just such a time as election season 2024.

Then again, they can always drum up another rape accusation, or some other fiction.

In a segment on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Tuesday, network contributor Molly Jong-Fast launched into an insane rant about Republican VP nominee JD Vance only wanting "white children" in the United States in response to a question related to Americans who don't want to have kids.

Wonder if this person ever bother to look at Vance's kids before saying that?

It seems to me that the Trump/Epstein stuff, which seemed to previously be lower on the "get Trump" list, has ramped up at least 10X ever since the cabal pulled Joe.

They put an extremely unlikable candidate with a rotten record in his place and they know it so they're trying to deflect attention as much as possible from her and try to keep Trump on the defensive. The plan is to keep the attention on Trump's and Vance's perceived failings, whether imaginary or real, and away from Harris's.

With all the images of lefties with their actual weirdo associates popping up in recent days (I was vomiting for like two hours straight after seeing the George Takei link), It seems like the RNC has an easy ad:

Make a slideshow with each slide being a side by side of Vance or Trump doing stuff and one of Harris, et. al. doing stuff.

Vance having a BBQ / Kamala shaking hands with a bearded dude in a dress
Trump playing golf / lefty staffer naked and bent over in the senate chamber
Trump at WWE/ Scott Weiner at SanFran pride parade

The list goes on. If conservatives have the least bit of PR acumen, this whole ridiculous, "going to church, having picnics, going fishing are all weird" bullshit would fail pretty quickly. Even mainstream dems aren't into all the hundreds examples of lefty politician kink that are out there. They all have kids that they want to shield from that. All these "Vance is weird" statements I have seen in the MSM have all been statements. They never seem to show any photographic evidence of Vance "being weird". Because if you show a picture of a guy having a beer in front of a campfire and call him "weird", it kinda kills the propaganda.

I probably should have put more of a warning on that one and I just did.

"If conservatives have the least bit of PR acumen..."

There's the problem: They don't have any.  They refuse to stoop to the level of the Democrats, choosing to stay on what little remains of the high road.  That's one reason they are so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

A blast from the past: Biden v. Harris during the 2020 primaries:

It's another parallel to Trump's first run for office. The press spent most of Obama's second term telling us that Bruce Jenner was a girl. Then was it late 2016 or early 2017 they started a jihad against misinformation?

"Trump Directly Attacks Moderator". Way to be fair and balanced there Forbes. It was the other way around, and I thought Trump handled it well. So many of the other Rs would sit there trying to appease the moderator. Trump called her out. More of this.
