Harris turns around New Hampshire.


The presidential campaign has been reset, and Harris is now “the new favorite to win New Hampshire,” said Neil Levesque, executive director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.

While 50 percent of likely New Hampshire voters picked Harris when asked who they would vote for if the election were held now, 44 percent picked Republican nominee and former president Donald J. Trump, and 3 percent picked independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., according to the Saint Anselm College Survey Center poll, which had a margin of sampling error of 2.1 percentage points.

A poll from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center also showed Harris with a 6-point lead: Harris landed at 49 percent, Trump at 43 percent, and Kennedy at 4 percent, with a margin of sampling error of 1.8 percentage points.

Both of these surveys show marked improvement for the presumptive Democratic nominee in the wake of the change at the top of the Democratic ticket. In May, the UNH poll found that Biden was only 3 points ahead of Trump. In June, the Saint Anselm poll found that Biden was 2 points behind.

My guess is: The Return of the Birf Sirtificut

I mean he can't possibly pass over this as his attack on Harris, can he?
(Neither of Harris's parents were US Citizens, as far as I can tell, but she was absolutely born in the USA, and consequently is a natural born citizen and fully qualified, but those are just facts.)

This is where he got on the crazy train for his political career, attacking Obama's legitimacy due to his being black, no I meant due to his being born in Kenya.

Avoid getting sucked into the vortex.

One strategy for the opposition propaganda system is to amplify dissent within our people. Specifically to heighten the animosity and hopefully to channel people into such extreme positions that whichever side eventually ‘loses’ whatever the conflict is, they will be unable to support the party.

Don’t be fooled. Chill out. Nothing you say or do here is going to affect the outcome.

The target is Trump, not each other.

On the brighter side: TCF doesn't have a brain worm that made him eat a dog.

You see? We haven't actually reached the bottom of the pit yet.

NYT is not even trying to pretend.

Two headlines in today’s NYT political coverage:


For Trump, Doug Burgum Emerges as a Safe Option, and a Wild Card

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/09/us/politics/burgum-trump-vp-search.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yU0.2t9-.agNCR908dPVD&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare




Biden Loves to Tell Tall Tales. We Cut Them Down to Size.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/09/us/politics/biden-history-fact-check.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yU0.KRCO.YamKRGxTvUtz&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

The first headline promotes Trump as a responsible serious presidential candidate.

The second headline portrays Biden as a goofball.

Out riding my bike this afternoon and it is clear the Civil War has started.

The multi flagged Maga trucks were on the rampage!

Most likely on their way to the grocery store to level up the emergency snack supplies.

HorseRace Media determines how to cover F34.

Call all their Maga leadership sources for their reactions, knowing full well that their ‘reactions’ are programmed talking points.

Present the results as expert analysis.

Interview their call list of Maga ‘normal people’, all of whom are fully invested in the cult and have ingested the same talking points.

Present the results as the ‘sense of the people’.

The HorseRace Media then determines that based on the facts on hand, no need to worry The Race is On!

The 'borderline case' talking point. Fuck that noise.

The Bothsides Media has settled on 'sure he was convicted of 34 felonies, but the case was weak and there are more serious charges.' The intent is of course to minimize what just happened and thereby keep the FUCKING HORSE RACE SPECTACLE going.,

First, HE WAS CONVICTED OF 34 FELONIES.
Secondly, yes the state and federal charges are even more serious, BUT EXACTLY NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY CHANCE OF GETTING TO TRIAL BEFORE NOVEMBER 5.

Fuck these fucking clowns. They are going to bothside us right into fascism, and then blame 'the youth vote' or the 'latino vote' or WHATEVER SHITTY DIVISIVE NARRATIVE THEY CAN COME UP WITH.
