I posted it earlier, but clearly none of you responded to it, because it doesn't look good for the left on multiple levels.
Imagine posting a video showing three examples of right wing policies hurting people, "therefore left wing policies bad".




Here again is Lanny's response to the video, since you seemed to have missed it for some reason. Do us all a favor, get your eyes checked by a professional.

Kind of like decrying, "Gas prices are so high, why didn't the Govenor lower gas prices?" Because they have no control over those decisions nor ability to assert control. The O&G cartels determine the price and flow of product. Context. It's not just replacing glasses.

He bought and is using Epstein's plane for the campaign? I know the dip####s don't care anymore but come on? Somebody has to have some semblance of control over this guy.

Trump is indeed using Epstein's (former) plane, but he didn't buy it, and it's almost certainly just a (completely hilarious) coincidence more than anything. The specific aircraft Trump has been using recently, a Gulfstream G550 (tail number N550GP, formerly N212JE), once belonged to Epstein. It is now operated by Threshold Aviation Group, a company that offers charter flights to many different clients. Trump is contracting their services to fly him to campaign events, and this is the plane they're using.

The optics of it, though!

Wow. I am way behind in this thread. My bad. I'll leave the links if anyone is interested. Lots and lots of thoroughly researched and documented false facts here.

JD Vance/Sofa Loren Dragged For Hypocrisy After Drag Photo Surfaces

Quote:
A short time later, Yale assistant professor Travis Whitfill said he was the source of the photo that Bernstein had posted, but credited another classmate for taking it.

“It’s from a group chat of Vance’s fellow classmates and is from a friend of a friend. I believe it was grabbed from Facebook and was taken at a Halloween party,” Whitfill told The Daily Beast.

The photo quickly went viral, with some social media users giving Vance the drag name “Sofa Loren,” a not-exactly-subtle reference to the “couch sex” meme that is based on a fake story about the senator.
Quote:
Considering Vance’s anti-LGBTQ+ comments and policy stances, it’s no surprise the pics caused a kerfluffle on X, formerly Twitter.

To be clear: Most people weren’t attacking Vance for wearing a dress but for “demonizing others who wear drag,” as one commenter put it.

Yup. If Harris wins, it’s gonna get really messy down there with MAGA lunatics on election boards refusing to certify, among other shenanigans. The courts will eventually smack these traitorous dips***s down. But man, it’s gonna get ugly.

Listened to a podcast with lawyer Marc Elias and follow him on Twitter. He feels Kamala will win and the MAGAts will pull all kinds of crap. He says they brought several cases to court. We won, he says, and we’ll win again.

He says his team has this in hand. It’s what they do and they’re very good at it. To the Twitter haters, that’s why I use it.

Yep, this is going to end VERY badly for those MAGAt loyalists that refuse to certify.

There are more of us than them. Unfortunately some people still vote based on the following:

Republican = Good Christians, family values!!! (you know, adultery, rape, lying cheating, Jesus mowing everyone down with an AR-15).
Democrats = Satanist Heathens and would constitute as a sin to vote for (un-Christian values like health care, feeding the poor, helping others etc.).

Again, not a good reason to vote an insurrectionist that wants to end American democracy, but again, not all are willing to take up arms and fight Jan 6th style.

The way Trump is going he could also be creating apathy on the right, instead of them voting for what they believe is the lesser of two evils, they just may stay home.

Democrats also have been overperforming the last few years and Kamala has some serious momentum with young voters (remember, millions of 2016 trump voters have died off and aren't being replaced with the younger generation that is now of voting age.

My girls are excited for when Taylor Swift unleashes her "swiftie army".

We'll get through it and the republican party will continue to fade into irrelevance, everything you're seeing is what happens when one starts to lose power....

If republicans wanted an election based on issues they should have ran a real candidate

He was pretty famous as far as "unknown" candidates go, IIRC. HE had all that charisma going for quite awhile and his name was mentioned often.

This is 2 and 4 years before being elected

He’s so unhinged and angry. It’s just hilarious listening to him with the slurred speech.
