Interesting happenings

Just before and right after Helene hit us here in WNC there were lots of political yard signs that had, “Vote for the unborn” with “Trump 2024” in small print below. No Vance, Blue signage. Then there are the Trump Vance ones, blue signage, but now, as I took my daughter to the Asheville Airport today, I saw twice a many, if not more, “Trump 2024,” blue signage, with nothing about Vance. Just Trump alone.
Not been out around much, still closed roads and massive clean up. But today to get to her, I drove lots of roads within Trump world here and this stood out, Bigly!!
Is he distancing himself from Vance for a possible change?
And, FUCKING stop the theft of Blue!!! They have ruined the color red for the world.
But sure seems like there is now a big effort to get the “Trump’s name Alone” signs out to overpower the ones with Vance.
But funny thing, as he distances himself from Vance, allegedly, every Trump sign here has the Mark Robinson red signs snuggled right beside his.
That stench is stuck to him.

Maybe the NC Republicans (or Trump himself) heard the last verse of this song: DFW Oct 2024 #1

Not to mention that he's openly gay, which "conserv'tives" don't like. He does have the money to prop up his proxy, however. If the Republicans defraud the nation and re-install Trump, how long do you think it will take Thiel-Vance to invoke the 25th Amendment and put Trump away in the loony bin for good? I don't think it would even take six months.

We didn't mention Thiel in the song, because we are quite confident that Vance would have an active role in the scheme, should he get "half a chance," as the song says.

From before Vance was announced as his VP pick. I have a Harris only sign out and didn’t receive my upgrade to a Harris/Walz sign yet.

They have so little campaign cash coming in, what little he is not pocketing.

The red state/blue state thing wasn't always a thing. Apparently it was after the 2000 election that the media conformed to red for repub & blue for dem.

I must confess, I have a blue Trump sign in my yard, too.
