Election's Over!

So far there's no winner, we need more delicious cats, dogs and sharks.

Dolt .45 did shriek about immigrants eating pet cats and dogs. Muir debunked him, but the topic fizzled.

"in Springfield". He thinks he's in an episode of The Simpsons.

Jon Stewart: "Dick Cheney, fuck off!"

Election's Over!

LOL

[O Really]

How many good things can I say about this? Eloquently written, as would be expected, but past the wording of the endorsement itself, look how well she handled the Brittany problem. She couldn't have been happy to get dragged into that, but she showed her loyalty yesterday with a hug pic, then today made it clear she's no friend of Trump. All we need now is a song that treats Trump like the slime bag he is. She never mentions any real names in her songs, and she wouldn't have to call Trump by name. I'm sure she knows how to make it clear who she's writing about.

My thoughts on Taylor Swift’s post:

I’m 100% fine with it, but I really doubt she actually watched the debate. I also doubt she wrote that post herself. I suspect that was pre-written, and it was designed to come out right after the debate was done.

As for the debate itself, I think Kamala was the clear winner. She managed to bait Trump, and he bit every single time.

Still not going to vote for either of these candidates, though!

TayTay's best "slime bag" songs are about men who betrayed her or dumped her

Why lie if she didn't watch?
TayTay is a brilliant lyricist. I think she's fully capable of writing that herself. Why do you think it was ghostwritten?
I think it's fair to "suspect that was pre-written, and it was designed to come out right after the debate was done." All she said about the debate is that she watched. I know that I would have wanted to spend more time on it than the few minutes between the end of the debate and the release of the endorsement.

Donald Trump Reacts To Taylor Swift’s Endorsement Of Kamala Harris

During an impromptu appearance in the spin room at the debate in Philadelphia, a reporter asked Donald Trump what he thought about Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris.

“I have no idea,” Trump said brusquely, and took another question.

Kamala even won the handshake, killed it. She would have won eye contact, too, if he ever had the balls to look at her.
Dems, most Americans and even many cons agree that Kamala won. She bested him issue by issue, but perhaps more importantly she looked presidential. Many who did not know her well can now see her in the WH and holding her own vs world leaders and the situations she'll face.

Who will you vote for?
Chase Oliver, Libertarian
Jill Stein, Green
Peter Sonski, American Solidarity Party
Claudia De la Cruz, Party for Socialism and Liberation

Those are the only ones I can find besides Kamala and DonOLD with 2024 ballot access in Hawaii. There may be others.

I have no doubt she had planned for some time to endorse Harris. She wasn't mentally wobbling between the two. And I don't think the debate itself affected her choice. It doesn't matter to me if she watched all or part of it, or if she had editing help with her post - it was pretty much perfect in that she didn't tell anybody how to vote, told how she is going to vote and why, and ended with a bit of humour. And no, neither do I believe the writing was spontaneous out of the blue last night. Taylor doesn't do spontaneous insofar as public relations goes.

I could see why you might choose not to vote. Your vote isn't going to make any difference, and neither is mine. Now if you lived in NC with Vrede, you might need to make a choice.

Comment seen around the web: Kamala Harris is a liar. She made the claim that no post-birth abortions occur in the US, but we all clearly saw her abort Trump live on TV last night.

Ouch.

IIRC, Jasmine thought DonOld should have picked her for VP. She would've been a better choice than what he got.

Dan Quayle would've been a better choice than what he got.

Tulsi's got some moderate credentials, but nobody likes or trusts a party jumper and she brings zero geographical advantages to the ticket. She also hasn't publicly kissed as much Dolt .45 ass yet. Uncle Tim might have been next in line.

Anyhow, as bad as Just Deranged is it's not as bad as Dolt .45 was last night. Did Kamala even mention Vance?


The Moment Trump Couldn’t Resist Bungling

Damn, Kamala is good

In case anyone is wondering about TRE45QN's stupid whining about Aurora, CO:

Colorado Apartment Residents Fight Anti-Immigrant Misinformation Amid Viral Video Of Armed Men
As right-wing figures shared a video from an apartment complex in Aurora, rumors began to spread that the entire complex was overtaken by a Venezuelan gang.

DonOLD and his MAGAts are SOOO gullible!

57M watched the debate, more than the Biden debate

[O Really]

Patrick Mahomes says don't include him in any Trumper political endorsement.
In a well-worded and diplomatic comment, he says he doesn't think "his platform" is best used for political purposes. He focuses on making people better, doing things for the community, his family, his team.

This after Trump had lauded Brittany as a loyal MAGA (which she hasn't acknowledged, either) and said "Mahomes family" The Mahomes may be having a discussion on the importance of curating and exercising care in their public image.

The Best ‘Concepts of a Plan’ Memes From Trump’s Debate Flub, From George R.R. Martin to Cousin Greg
Fyre Fest, “Seinfeld,” and the scrapped Dark Universe also came up in the social media pile-on

... It was Trump this time who offered the meme gods a new sacrifice. When asked more than once whether or not the former president had a plan in place for health care he replied, “I have the concepts of a plan and you will be hearing more in the near future.”

This had viewers sprinting to X to post their own variations of the moment. Many called out people – both real and fictional – who famously stumbled through moments with no clear plan in place for the future but confidently none the less.

Some of the easy targets were fantasy author George R.R. Martin – whose sixth installment in the “Game of Thrones” series has been in the works for over a decade – Cousin Greg from “Succession, Dutch van der Lind from the “Red Dead Redemption 2” video game, and just about anyone facing life after college....

57M watched the debate, more than the Biden debate

I must have misheard.

Harris-Trump debate watched by 67m people, beating pivotal Biden showdown
Debate was watched by nearly 16 million more people than June event that saw Biden drop out, with a marked rise in younger and middle-aged viewers, ratings show

It's one of the few debates that I've watched wall-to-wall.

... Tuesday’s count was short of the record viewership for a presidential debate, when 84 million people saw Trump’s and Hillary Clinton’s first face-off in 2016. The first debate between Biden and Trump in 2020 reached 73.1 million people.

There was a marked increase in younger and middle-aged viewers, with 53% more adults aged 18-49 tuning in to see Harris debate Trump than watched Biden do the same, according to Nielsen data.

Of the viewers who watched on cable networks, the highest number of viewers were on Fox News, with 9.1 million people tuning in on the channel known for its positive coverage of Trump.

Good. billy.pilgrim would be happy about that.

Harris was widely seen to have won the debate. A CNN flash poll of debate watchers showed 63% to 37% that Harris had performed better. Prior to the debate, those voters were split 50-50 on who would win. Of the Harris-supporting viewers polled by CNN, 96% said she had done a better job, while 69% of Trump supporting viewers said so....

Hah!
