If what we’re witnessing is Team Trump’s rapid response to the announcement of VP Kamala Harris ascending to the top of the 2024 ticket, they are in a worse world of hurt than I would have thought humanly possible. Plastic straws? Seriously? If that’s the best that they’ve got coming out of the gate, then this election may end up being more easily winnable than I would have thought. Make no mistake: there is much gnashing of teeth in Trump world because the campaign publicity and strategy was focused narrowly on what an aging codger, fumbler, bumbler Joe Biden is/was. Now that that’s no longer relevant, Team Trump is grasping at straws — literally, it turns out.

Evidently Jason Miller made the comment on MSNBC. And it’s far and away not the stupidest comment which has been made. This is. And you notice that it is Miller’s paramour, A.J. Delgado, who is bringing this up.

The problem, of course, is that it appears that the Trump campaign didn’t do its “research” into the context of the meeting itself. According to reports, Harris was meeting “with disability rights leaders to mark the anniversary of the ADA.”

According to the Atlantic‘s analysis, “Harris’s event was held on the anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act and focused on the effect of new abortion restrictions on the disabled. One convention meant to accommodate blind and visually impaired audiences is a brief self-description by the speaker. Other speakers at the same event, all putative humans, did the same.”

The day is still young and Team Trump has done nothing but step into it so far. Consider it an omen, friends, on this day of the full moon. If Chris LaCivita starts howling at the moon later tonight, it would not surprise me.

  1. “Grasping at straws”

    Perfect.

    And it’s the very first thing they did.

    Coming up with anything better will take them quite a while – the downside of Trump only working with morons, because he doesn’t want to risk anyone being a threat to him.

  2. I can see the MAGAt crowd wallowing in the mud that is racism….. it’s not a matter of if….it’s a matter of when and how many times.

    Let’s not forget too that there are outtakes from the filming of the Apprentice which numerous individuals say Trump used the N word when discussing a Black contestant.

    Someone is sitting on those outtakes, and what an October Surprise it will be when they are “leaked”.

    • People have been aware of those outtakes for years. Trump’s pal Mark Burnett at NBC kept them tightly locked down. However, I’m betting he feared someone might break into where they were stored and hand them over to the media, or worse people who could post them on FB and Twitter (back before Musk gained control) so news executives couldn’t keep it all hushed up. So he destroyed them. End of problem/threat to Trump.

      Too bad there isn’t a statute covering obstruction of providing truth to voters!

    • Won’t make a difference to the magat base. Everyone knew what a racist p.o.s. von shitzinpants was before he clumped down that schlocky escalator. He was able to run against a candidate more hated than he was, which made the election closer than what it should have been, and then colmey dropped his turd in the punch bowl. Von shitzi won’t lose bupkis vote-wise and supporters of President Biden are not going to stick around to vote for V.P. Harris. A woman in this country couldn’t win when she was white. A colored woman has not a chance in hell. It’s not just the racist pieces of shit you know, it’s also the misogynist pieces of shit. There are plenty of that last one, in both parties, to go around.

    • The f*ck-wad party just gave itself such a sledge-hammering in the balls, they have nothing left. I was hoping we’d be rid of the ”pube/magat party after this election because it was looking like a possibility. Now we’re going to be rid of the democratic/f*ck-wad party due to an own goal. WTG f*ck-wits.
