Sure thing. Now pull the other leg:
The conservatives are going to be soooooooo TRIGGERED and I effing love it
Since Harris’s campaign is now flush with cash, they and the DNC are giving a lot of money to various downballot races; mostly congressional candidates, but also various state-level ones.
This seems like very good news to me, and will give GOP even more headaches.
Kamala Harris’ campaign and the Democratic National Committee said Tuesday they are sending nearly $25 million to support down-ballot Democrats — an earlier investment and far more money than the top of the ticket has sent in past election years.
[…]
The newly announced funds come from both the Harris campaign and the DNC, with a total of $10 million each going to committees supporting Democratic candidates for House and Senate, along with $2.5 million to a national Democratic group supporting state legislative candidates and $1 million each for groups backing Democratic gubernatorial and attorney general candidates.
Wow… but… who cares what Putin says? Like of course he is going to say that now because Trump’s chances look dismal, so the best thing for Russians and any other enemies of the US to do is to try to help convince Americans the election is rigged so that Trump can stage another coup.
The only end goal is to create chaos and disruption in the US.
I assume it’s to make voters think that Trump is the tough guy that Putin is scared of.
Ah that makes sense. The writing in the article is terrible and kind of pointless so it’s clearly just a clickbait headline aimed at low-information lore addicts. If I had respect to lose for Politico I’d lose some of it I guess!
“Those most enthralled with Donald Trump were not at the very bottom — the illiterate, the hungry,” she writes. Rather, Trump’s biggest fans could be found among “the elite of the left-behind,” meaning people “who were doing well within a region that was not.”
It’s an observation that cuts against the prevailing theory of Trumpism: that he is the tribune of the left-behind and impoverished white people suffering due to globalization. It is also one that is backed by hard data.
In 2020, three political scientists studied how location and income affected white voters’ voting decisions. They found that, on a national level, poorer white people were indeed more likely to vote for Trump than richer ones.
But when you factored in local conditions — the fact that your dollar can buy more in Biloxi than Boston — the relationship reverses. “Locally rich” white people, those who had higher incomes than others in their zip codes, were much more likely to support Trump than those who were locally poor. These people might make less money than a wealthy person in a big city, but were doing relatively well when compared to their neighbors.
That certainly makes sense for all the Trump groupies you see on TV who follow him from rally to rally decked out from head to toe in his merchandise. That’s not the kind of thing you can do unless you’ve got a decent amount of disposable income.
The ones I know of who are in rural communities moved there to live on golf courses and escape “liberals” in the big city that made them rich.
Which no doubt includes “those people,” who live in the “bad” part of the city. (A “great thing” about rural areas is the lack of “those people.”)
Not that they’re “racists,” oh no, never!
Is the guy in the picture a shitty Henry Rollins clone?
Hank on seeing that guy…
same with all the people who took time off work, flew to dc, and attacked the capitol.
working class people don’t have the time nor the money for that bs
and yet, those are the same people who will loudly claim that food and petrol are unaffordable now and how life was soooo much cheaper and easier under trump.
Hell wasn’t there one lady who chartered a jet there or something? I mean I really think some of the wealthy delusional “life coach” types thought there was actually going to be like a red carpet and photoshoot set up for them when they got there.
I generally prefer democracy as a system of government but New Zealand’s new queen kinda sounds like a badass. (And apparently the position isn’t purely a hereditary thing?)
Trivial observation (yet it keeps rearing itself obvious at any public event), note how the spouses of the candidates are in dramatically distinct ‘concentrations’ between the Democrats and the republicans. With the latter they’re essentially non-existent (Where Is Usha? JD Vance’s Wife Takes Page Out of Melania’s Playbook) with the Democrats they’re there and a great force for the candidacy (e.g. Gwen Walz, Michigan educators back Harris-Walz campaign in Grand Rapids rally) …so much for lip-service family values toxic emissions out of vance.
if only there was the slightest active curiosity on the right to note how those closest to their ‘beloved’ candidates apparently regarded them, but nooo -sigh-
Usha makes real sense why they want to keep her out of pictures.
For some reason she married a prominent white supremacist (perhaps she is one herself as well). She’s bright enough to graduate from Yale with a law degree which means that she has to know that she harms his image with their base just by being there…
When I imagine that kind of life their wealth and prestige don’t seem worth it…
better off dead than led by fools of that ilk.
On Sept. 26, said O’Donnell.
That’s the deadline that U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, on Thursday, set for special counsel Jack Smith to file “his full evidentiary argument, in writing, about why Donald Trump can be charged with federal crimes” in his federal election interference case “even though the Supreme Court created a new presidential immunity from criminal charges for some of what Donald Trump did to overthrow the election results,” said O’Donnell.
Trump “will be the first presidential candidate in history to have a federal prosecutor outline in detail, in writing, including, possibly, secret material from a grand jury describing Donald Trump’s federal crimes that the prosecutor says Donald Trump committed to overthrow the will of the American people in the last presidential election,” he explained.
