Donald Trump the road that might not lead to the White House - Redux 2024 thread.

[maomao]

It’s “the oath that I took and the f****** oath that you took you s****** “ thst I don’t get. The s, I think I’m good on the f.

Tho I have no idea what “[he] has no fucking load” means at all.

Shitted. I watched the video. There are asterix mistakes, that's not one of them.

Harris favours live mics so as to be able to counter the unhinged, froth-specked bullshit that will come out of trump's mouth in real time, as opposed to having to wait until it's her time to speak (ie. so she doesn't have to waste valuable time getting her own message out). I hope she presses for this. Apparently it was the trump team who wanted the muted mics because they (rightly and sensibly) can't trust the big orange baby to go a whole 90mins without having a massive insult-spewing, foot-stamping, diaper-filling tantrum.

I read that as Harris favours live mice.

Very poor asterix counting in that article. What the hell does m************* mean?

Bought the box set of that a few years ago - really need to get round to actually watching it.

It was okay in the early 80s. I also bought the box set a few years ago. But it really hasn't stood the test of time. I watched a few episodes then gave up and flogged it on Ebay.

The new version with Morena Baccarin was ace. And Diana was in it too

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

When Trump decided to desecrate Arlington Cemetery for his illegal photo-op on Tuesday assaulting (a female, naturally) cemetery official, he gave a cheery thumbs up over the grave of a dead soldier, just look at the hand signals of his of his entourage...

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

I'm surprised no one rose from their graves in protest.

 

[spitfire]

I think the devils horns people are her family tbf.

eta: here's a picture of Nicole which would suggest it was her "thing".

 

[spitfire]

But yeah Trump is a fucking prick, thumbs up ffs.

He's with his people. The two families involved seem to think them giving permission for trump and co to film and use this for campaign footage is all that counts. The cemetery laws prohibiting filming don't apply. Other families' feelings don't apply. They're his people. It is what it is.

 

[pogofish]

I'm surprised Trunp hasn't got wall-to-plexiglass coverage

I think he did at at least one rally since that I saw reported. He was essentially boxed-in completely on three sides.

this is quite entertaining:

Finally, the Democrats Have Found Trump’s Achilles’ Heel: Ridicule Him

Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trump—but we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.

newrepublic.com

They only just noticed? He has NEVER coped with humour/ridicule well.

 

[VivaE]

There really is no low with trump. I hope this at least causes a few vets and their families to reconsider what it is they're supporting.

 

[Dogsauce]

Beware of putting too low expectations on Trump’s performance at the forthcoming debate, the same was done on the previous one with Biden and look how that went.

I don’t think his team minds people speculating on his capabilities because if he then goes ahead and exceeds people’s expectations then that probably counts as a win. Don’t anticipate a knockout blow, or some kind of meltdown, probably won’t happen, and even if it did, it’s unlikely that people in his bubble will see it because it will be filtered out by their social media circle and news sources.

It's not
people in his bubble who will decide the election though.

 

[Cloo]

It's people in his bubble who will decide the election though.

I keep saying this, but I don't think they are. The red hats are not the sole or even majority GOP vote - obviously they are locked in, even if he sacrificed a child on a fucking Bible they'll vote for him. But they don't have more than one vote each. It'll be decided by the people who aren't sure if they can be bothered at all, the habitual GOP voters who don't really like Trump but can be made to feel that actually, he's a sufficiently bad idea that they'd either better not vote, or vote Dem; or the people who are not sure if they can be bothered to vote Dem but can be convinced that Trump is a worth voting against because he's an embarrassing liability.

Yep. Trump's 'base' is not big enough to win him the election on their own, particularly as Trump also energises an anti-Trump 'base'. So it's also about Democrat voters turning out in places like Georgia (and overcoming voter suppression in places like Georgia).

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I'm not discounting a Trump win just yet, but I would say that, for him to win, everything needs to go right for him, including squeaking home in Georgia. And he can only win by a handful of electoral college votes while almost certainly receiving fewer votes than Harris overall. If the US had a simple one person one vote system, I'd be writing Trump's chances off already.

 

[Kaka Tim]

I meant to say it's NOT his bubble that will decide. But missed off the "not" bit

 

[littlebabyjesus]

oops

Of course he's going to win otherwise it's rigged.

 

[scifisam]

Well, some people in Trump's bubble do seem to think they can actually decide the results of the election, so you weren't wrong.

 

[Dogsauce]

Trump’s team (including Musk) have said that they are going after people who don’t normally vote. This is the exact method used by the pro-Brexit campaign, which worked pretty well for them and confounded pollsters. I have a bad feeling that this might work.

 

[spring-peeper]

The clip in the link is about Trump saying that he didn't go to the cemetery to get publicity, he doesn't need it. Utter rubbish about Trump needing the publicity. I also don't believe he goes there a lot. Didn't he say those who died/injured/captured were losers.

Trump denies Arlington cemetery photos were campaign stunt

Trump election staffers reportedly clashed with an Arlington National Cemetery official who tried to stop their photography.

Didn't he say those who died/injured/captured were losers. Maybe he is trying to reform his image.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Well, this should cheer him up.

Controversial Trump biopic to receive pre-election release in US

The Apprentice, an 80s-set drama with a scene in which he sexually assaults his wife, will get an October release

www.theguardian.com

The film also made headlines for a scene where Trump rapes his wife at the time, Ivana, played by Maria Bakalova.

A cease-and-desist letter was sent to the film-makers by Trump’s legal team with a statement describing it as “malicious defamation”. In 1990, during divorce proceedings, Ivana had accused him of sexual assault, something she later recanted. Since the 1970s, at least 26 women have accused Trump of sexual assault or harassment. He has denied all allegations.

Well that's not worked.
