No, this is not some wishful wet dream, and it’s not pie-in-the-sky thinking. It’s based on simple common sense, and a lifetime of experience, a lot of which you have all already shared in your own journeys.
Just hear me out. If you’re a girl on a date, you’d like to think you’re the apple of the guy’s eye. If you’re in a restaurant, you’d kind of like to think that the server has you in mind occasionally. But if the guy in the booth with you at the sports joint keeps scoping out chicks at other tables, and the server only comes around to refill your drinks if you wave semaphore flags in her direction, you kind of tend to get the feeling that you just arent that important to them.
And that’s where we are right now politically. Only. One. Side. Is. Trying! Kamala Harris is on a Death Race 2000 to the finish line on November 5th. From the day President Biden gave her his papal blessing, Harris hit the ground running. And once she named Tim Walz as her running mate, they were a team whirling dervish.
They went on a whirlwind six battleground state tour to introduce themselves to voters. Then they had a four day blow-off-the-roof lovefest of a convention. And now on Wednesday, they’re hitting the seventh battleground state, Georgia with a two day bus tour, their original stop being delayed by a tropical storm.
And on the other side, what is Traitor Tot doing? Well, today, wrapped around a couple of rants on Bullsh*t Social, Trump went public to proudly proclaim a brand new line of 15 new stupid f*cking digital trading cards for $99 a pop! And if you buy the complete set, he’ll throw in an actual cardboard trading card with an actual swatch of his Biden debate suit pressed into it. Are you f*cking kidding me? Trump wouldn’t cut up a perfectly good suit. Those are remnants of the piece of the bolt his tailor brought over to show him the fabric.
We’re down to the last 70 days folks! Once the August recess hits congress, it’s full bore campaign mode. Right now Sherrod Brown is out every day hitting the stump. So is Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin, and Democratic House members are holding town halls and Starbuck’s meet-and-greets. The Democrats are using some of that half a billion dollar haul to fund and support their ground operation, people knocking on doors, pestering you in the Walmart parking lot to register to vote, calling you during dinner. It’s all-hands-on-deck.
And the GOP? Trump shuttered the grassroots and ground operations to save money for his legal koi. The local state GOP operations are strapped for cash, and so are most of the GOP candidates, since Traitor Tot is soaking it all up. The only time Traitor Tot and the Hillbilly Imbecile crack the media news cycle is when they say something stupid and insulting on the campaign trail.
They’re finally starting to advertise, but here’s a news flash for them. People can turn the sound off or change the channel for a political ad, but common courtesy dictates that you interact with somebody that knocks on your door. Especially if they’re not wearing a MAGA hat.
I’ll finish where I started. A political campaign is like the start of a love affair. People want to be wooed, they want to feel special and cherished. Campaigns get that, that’s why they spend so goddamn much time in irrelevant states like Iowa and New Hampshire in the primary cycle. But Trump and the campaign are treating them like a bunch of Friday night pick-ups on a Saturday morning. If you’re lucky you get carfare, but don’t forget to do the dishes first!
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
My part of town… only one kiddo has tried to engage. Maga red hat. “You support Trump?!!”. Easy answer… “no! Hell no!!”. Normally I would have more polite but that boat sailed 9 years ago. Note: this encounter was months ago. Note2: it is hot. Note3: so far seeing old worn out trump flag (and Harris/walz sign next door😜). Yeah neighborhood is a hard date.
Who says that fabric “from his suit” is even the same material?
😳 Trump has a tailor?! That person has my condolences for having to measure that inseam!! But, they also have my disgust…that man always looks like an off-the-rack monstrosity!!
He probably has a side job making tents.
For circuses.
Delusions of grandeur? Or just trying to pull one over on the rubes? Which? It’s either one or the other.
Sorry, I meant this response to be for the thread in which Trump told Dr. Phil that God wants him to save the world.
Why can’t it be both?
I agree, Harris SHOULD win in a landslide. Each of our candidates going back more than 20 years SHOULD have won in a landslide. Why is it so close? It’s a mystery to me. I guess a lot of Americans are more into greed, resentment, misogyny, racism, arrogance, hatred, non-thinking than we can even imagine. I know I can’t. When we have good, decent, forward looking, progressive thinking candidates, why would anyone in their right minds settle for the bottom of the barrel haters, regressives, narcissistic freaks that haunt the GQP. Oh wait . . . .
The Electoral College! Has cheated us out of 2 Presidents just this century.
The only people the American nazi party,i.e., the gop, cares about are the corporations. The rest of us? Nah. We are just pawns in their game. I guess we’ll find out if the game is still so rigged, all we are is a fish on the line allowed to run, thinking we’re getting away, only to find the hook still in our mouths. Wait for the yank!
That’s what I said the first time he cut up a suit. The first problem being he’s a fat slob but he ain’t that big of a fat slob. Suit is only so big. And like it or not. The cult is large and a suit ain’t. You know dam well he’s cutting fabric for this. Almost guaranteed nobody gets a cheesy seam line. And you are right. Trump to cheap and vain to cut up a good suit. I wonder what they think of the suit having no body odor from being worn. You just can’t fix stupid!
