Guys, have you noticed that Harris laughs. Like when she finds something funny she laughs at it. Fucked up, right?
When she was a prosecutor, she put people in jail that pled guilty or were convicted by a jury. What a monster.
Maybe she’s secretly been assuming the duties of the President when Biden wasn’t feeling well. We should look into that. That would make her… bad somehow.
Is she actually Hillary Clinton in a mask, maybe? Can we test that on 4chan?
Good thing we always have old faithful- racism and sexism. That’ll swing those undecideds.
My gods I hope he blurts out 'Black Hillary' in one of his rants
What color suit does she wear?
Man you wouldn't believe...
Unbelievable. I can excuse the demented babbling, corruption, fraud, schoolyard name calling, and brazen lying from my side. But the Dems' insistence on wearing unprofessional suit colors is always shocking and unacceptable.
I'll take a nice pantsuit in a casual color rather than a shiny red tie that hangs down past the pantsfly
It's so weird that they tried to concentrate on her laugh. All it did was highlight that Trump never laughs or shows any kind of positive emotion, like some kind of hateful little goblin.
How come that live, laugh, love shit is plastered all over every repubs house I've ever been to?
Have we looked at her emails? There has to be something there.
We probably share the same opinion but if sexism and racist swings any 'undecideds' that just means they're conservatives that are too pussy to say it out loud and pretend they aren't while gargling trumps balls.
He should create a platform with goals and policies with detailed plans that will appeal to enough voters to get him elected.
When he was president he had all of that, a beautiful healthcare plan that would cover everyone and an infrastructure plan that strengthen the nation. They were always putting the finishing touches on them and they would be ready in two weeks. For four years. Guy seems to have trouble with finishing touches.
Maybe he was too busy with other types of touches.
'Too perfectionist' is his only weakness
It's almost 8:00 and I'm certain I'm not gonna hear a better joke today already!
in another thread about Vance someone called him a sectional predator.
Well, the least you can say is no-one would have seen that one coming
Republicans being unable to stop themselves from being racist and sexist might well play in Harris' favour here. The vast majority of racists and sexists were going to vote for Trump anyway, but this type of approach and messaging might alienate some moderate undecided voters.
Just hours after she announced her candidacy, Trump’s super PAC released an ad attacking Harris, claiming she “covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline” and that she “knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it” herself.
Is this really the own he thinks it is? By most measures the Biden/Harris term has been fairly successful so giving your opponent credit for the lions share of that work is certainly an interesting strategy. And the coverup is a fairly toothless accusation since Biden actually stepped down in time.
wait so their attack is saying she is the one really responsible for one of the best presidential terms of my lifetime. bold move cotton.
Would be funny to run back the "I approve of this message" counterplay, but I think they have too much respect for Biden to do that.
He is deeply misogynistic. He doesn’t understand - and is in fact frightened by - intelligent, incisive, and competent women.
Have they tried using the N-word yet? That always works when you have literally nothing else to fall back on.
I mean, that fox host came real close with "colored" when he referred to one of the historic black fraternities/sororities.
Give it time.
"Show us the birth certificate, cuz she certainly doesn't look American"
They already started that.
who's anyone kidding? GOP will just follow their usual strategy of shouting lies upon lies upon lies while pounding their fists and stomping their feet, and make everyone waste time debunking the bullshit hurricane
at least they have 4 months instead of 4 years
Tough for a convicted criminal to try to be pro-prosecution against a former D.A.
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t brought up her Canadian background.
By referencing her Canadian background, they can subtly frame her as being “exotic” and “foreign” and “liberal” in a way that doesn’t sound racist (but which would provably still resonate with racists).
Also, “Canadian Kamala” has good alliteration. I could imagine Trump using it.
Edit: Oh, “Canada Kamala” sounds even better.
First of all, please don't give them any ideas.
Second of all, I genuinely think Canadian Kamala might be too long for Trump and his followers. A good alliteration sure, but I could more see him using something simpler like Killer Kamala, after finding (or more honestly making up) a reason to use it.
The best he has come up with so far is “Lyin’ Kamala Harris” lmao
