I don't think so. Harris doesn't fuck couches. Vance will be deflowering a bunch of virgin couches in Georgia.

I heard Vance likes to get pegged by La-Z-Boys now

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

Vance said he had a phase where he thought he was gay, but it turns out he was just into la-z-boys

They're just using the MAC system!

Wouldn't it be funny if Trump & Vance held rallies a week or so after Harris has one in that place.
Would really look like cons are on the backfoot.

I reckon you could probably get away with it once, inevitable considering the timeframe and scale. 2 would be funny. 2 in a row would start raising questions. And 3 would would be telling.

That’s literally what they’re doing now, and it’s already very telling

Just wait until we hear how off-the-rails Trump’s performance is. It would be magnificent if Kamala is remembered for her laughter as Trump burns down his own campaign. What a marvelous picture that makes!

It’s a political cartoon that draws itself.

Is there any evidence Trump is losing voters with his insane behavior at rallies? Seems like anyone who would bother attending a Trump rally is already going to vote for him no matter what.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It would be so fucking funny if he had a significantly smaller attendance. Like, just a couple dozen idiots. Nobody in the upper stands. I'd laugh SO HARD.

But knowing the Republicans, they'll probably bus people in to populate the event, because that's what they accuse others of doing and they're always projecting.

Kids on TikTok should do the thing they did with his Tulsa really, where they reserved a bunch of tickets and never showed up.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

if only i were popular with the kids on tiktok, i'd try to have them do exactly this again

They're in a bind 'cause they're way behind and they're willin' to make a deal.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I wasn’t very hopeful about Georgia staying blue if it was Biden, but there’s a decent chance Atlanta turns out again now with Harris as the candidate. Kemp may still do some skullduggery and prevent it but it’s not hopeless

I wonder if Chameleon Vance will do a book signing

"I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."

When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"

When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.

The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"

"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."

Maybe they’ll find some ground scores of dignity
