Trump 63% Harris 14%

Guess it's over folks. Also, swifties are all now for trump. And, like the "ungrateful" Jews "the blacks" dont realize that he was better for them than Lincoln.

He is dissolving in full view on lies social as we speak. Posting made up polls, fake photos of swifties and endless psychotic whining.

Why won't the corporate media call him out? The evidence is right there. They won't even mention it, let alone call him what he is: unfit.

It is going to be harder for the media to cover up for Trump.

RSBN, the right wing outfit that broadcasts all his rallies even said that the arena was only about 60% full. (Though they claimed part of that was because certain sections were covered up for the rally. Even accounting for that, they claimed it was only 85% full). And many pictures/videos are available showing that while trump was still speaking (presumably near the end of his speech) only about 20% of the seats (at most) were still occupied. Almost everyone left early. God is he pathetic.

No, I don't have any proof for that, but how else is he going to draw a crowd? Even a non-capacity one.

where they talked to one of the people who "lined up early". Nobody around at that point but him. Apparently, the idiots come, put a chair or something there to mark their spot in line then leave. He even said he would go back to his hotel and come back just before the rally (this was on Friday, the day before the rally. He also said he was #24 so not many people arrived to save a spot in even a day early unlike what the right wing media portrays). No tents. No "waiting in line for days".

Those numbers are posted in a vacuum.

63% of Trump is covered in olive oil? 14% of Harris is the distance from her knees to her ankles?

Really, where ever you got those numbers from, well at least one person here didn't see that.

Sun Aug 18, 2024, 06:48 PM
Aug 2024

So not "They won't even mention it."

They wrote an entire editorial with the headline:

Donald Trump is unfit to lead

For the third time in eight years, Donald Trump will be nominated as the Republican Party’s candidate for president of the United States. A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the Republic, a man whose values, temperament, ideas and language are directly opposed to so much of what has made this country great.

It is a chilling choice against this national moment. For more than two decades, large majorities of Americans have said they are dissatisfied with the direction of the country, and the post-Covid era of stubborn inflation, high interest rates, social division and political stagnation has left many voters even more frustrated and despondent.

SNIP

Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. Instead of a cogent vision for the country’s future, Mr. Trump is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him.

He is, quite simply, unfit to lead.

Will someone show that demented old man the exit off the political stage? He doesn’t seem to be able to navigate a steady course then blames everyone for his lack of mental acuity. Just another senile has been regressing into childish behavior ……screaming for attention and making no sense.

Move is that anybody stupid enough to fall for it is already voting for Trump anyway.

And over on the OhMyJoe website, I saw a Trump-supporting tweet that shows a line of immigrants with a tag line pretty much declaring that they're all coming to rape the fair flower of American womanhood.

And what's worse, those devil Democrats will tempt those victims with the choice of a safe abortion, instead of supporting them in taking the moral highground and having all those forcibly-conceived brown babies.
