Real in what sense? That some random jerkoff or bot posted something idiotic on twitter? Regardless we don't need to know about it.

One was a high school football coach. One ####ed his grandparents couch in high school.

I know I’m coaches over couches.

See it won’t work on Walz. I couldn’t believe he had sex with a horse.

Good lord these people are ####ing idiots.

Demonstrators in the crowd at Harris’s Detroit rally repeatedly shouted out as the vice president spoke to an airplane hangar packed with supporters, “Kamala, Kamala you can’t Hide, we won’t vote for genocide.” The crowd booed and drowned out the protesters with chants of “Kamala.”

“I’m here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now. I am speaking now,” Harris said to applause.

Yeah, I almost feel like they are astroturfed at this point. Like the Koch brothers finding anti-pipeline groups.

Vance is so excited about that plane, there is no photoshop needed. Just show actual pics of all the couches in that thing.

I saw Walz speak twice in the last year, once at a conference in Minneapolis and another at a conference in San Diego. I knew he was governor of Minnesota but that's it. As soon as he started talking (March 2024) I leaned over and told my co-worker 'this guy's got my vote!'. He's very charismatic.

Harris is now at 50.1% to win the election on Election Betting Odds. It seems likely that she'll pass Trump in the RealClearPolling odds average in the next couple of days. I didn't think there was any chance of this happening before the convention.

On an unrelated note, the guy in charge of the Heritage Foundation / Project 2025 has a new book that was supposed to come out. They've delayed the release until after the election.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...ion-rcna165632

... Is it a good sign that they know this stuff is so deeply unpopular that they're afraid to release a book about what they want to do if they win because it would make winning less likely?

That picture of Vance and the plane, he's actually marching on his way to Air Force 2 to confront Harris. His plan was to barge onto her plane uninvited and confront her making a scene.

She wasn't even there though so he had to leave empty handed.

Childish or weird take your pick. Or both.

There's no way he actually thought he could barge onto AF2. The secret service would have him on the ground. The closest he'd get would be heckling her on the tarmac in front of reporters about how she "won't answer questions".

how do you fumble the easiest of softball questions?!? How do you answer "what makes you happy?" with "I am angry"?!? Dude even makes Mike Pence seem like a charismatic guy, it's crazy.

https://twitter.com/user/status/1821201773974966547


meanwhile, Trump sycophant Dan Scavino is tweeting about how Biden is about to return to the race because he's oh so pissed at the Democrats for making him drop out.

These people are the textbook definition of creepy and weird.
