You shouldn't hold it in and take action against your neighbor's signs... It's not healthy for you to hold it in.

Cant even read the words on the page you are quoting. I can easily ignore your yard signs.

What's better than Trump on Joe Rogan's podcast? JD Vance on Joe Rogan's podcast...

JD's is going to have double the views that Trump has. Take it to the bank.

Nice. He can have double the views of him pretending that Trump didn't say the things he clearly said. Probably then double THAT number again, because people will have to watch 2x to unravel his words to discover that he never actually said anything of substance.

If this were my neighbor putting up ridiculous signs in his yard, that would be easy to ignore.

If this were my neighbor putting up ridiculous signs in his yard, that would be easy to ignore. This is more like our roommate walking into every conversation in the apartment and reframing it to fit his looney conspiracy theories. At some point, the other roommates get frustrated by the constant disrespect.

Jeff channeling his Martin Van Buren with "your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you".

[Maximus]

gotta silently ignore people instead man.

[falafel]

Just ignore him. I rarely bother to read his tweets. Same old MAGA shit-posting.

It will be interesting to see if the anti Puerto Rico joke and other racist and xenophobic garbage at Trump's NY rally is just enough to move the needle in some of the swing states where it's believed to be razor close like PA, AZ, or NV.

I liked Jon Stewart's reaction. This post on X was the only one I could quickly find where the video was only Jon and not commentary on him.

I didn’t say Dems are responsible for Trump. I’m just saying that it’s hard to take their “democracy will end” rhetoric seriously when they aren’t running a serious process to take Trump down.

I don't see how those two ideas have to connect for Trump to be considered a threat to democracy. The Weimar Republic being weak didn't mean the Nazi threat to democracy shouldn't have been taken seriously. Weird reasoning.

And we already have a history of Trump summoning a mob intent on killing the vice president to try to keep Congress from certifying the election. Trump being a threat to democracy isn't a hypothetical thing anymore.

That's why its so delicious when he can't help himself and engages. He knows there is no defense - that's why he normally just runs to the next ridiculous tweet. Better still if he can fill the whole page with tweets in order to push the last one off the main page.

Trump is such an existential threat that the Democrats have pulled out their super awesome plan to stop him...which includes renominating (without a true primary) an octogenarian with one of the lowest approval ratings in recent history...and when it becomes clear he'll get steamrolled in the general election they quickly swap him out for a bumbling VP that ran for president but had to drop out before getting any delegates because she was horrible at debating and had extreme policy positions.

Let me just say that is a horrible game plan to stop Lucifer from assuming the role as chief fascist over America.

Ah yes, that great monolith the Democratic party. Thinks and moves and acts as one. All decisions were carefully researched, debated, and finally presented to the American people.

Clearly this is the result 100% of all democrats agreeing on the same path forward.

Ted doesn't care if the spam he sends out has any logic to it or contradicts itself. The only thing that matters is if it creates noise and confusion.

Trust me, I'm at least as despondent about the current state of affairs as you are. Silver lining, I have alcohol to cope

We can bitch about how poorly this was played by Biden and his enablers, and whine about how Harris isn't a great candidate. And I expect a post-mortem analysis of the election to reveal many sleazy things they did. But at the end of the day, no matter how bad Harris is, she's a better American and better leader than Trump.
