Diaper Don saw the Penzeys video, promptly shit his pants and began smashing all the herbs and spices in his kitchen against the wall. Fortunately for the cleaning staff his kitchen is only stocked with salt and vanilla. 

He thinks ketchup is a spice.

What really gets him is he tells all those "A big burly man with tears in his eyes..." stories, but not once has anyone seen it since it's only in his imagination.

Kamala has unscripted genuine moments where people are excited to see her.  Trump is too bug of a baby, germaphobe, afraid of hugs, falling over because of lifts, or people smelling a soiled diaper.

The fact that Trump is publicly saying he's going to prosecute al kinds of election officials, judges, donors, election workers, etc. for stealing the election means he believes he's already lost, and is laying the groundwork to once again tell everybody that the election was stolen from him, and it's not his fault.

Or just mock him for refusing the answer the question, say he's too scared to answer the question because he's afraid he'll upset MAGA - witness his trying to dance around abortion, which he knows is a losing issue for Republicans.

NYT Pitchbot:  Trump is crazy.  Why this is a problem for Harris.

[HOOKEM4 5,006]

The fact that these polls aren't way more lopsided is absurd. People flat aren't listening to anything he is saying and are just on a team. The guy is a blathering dangerous idiot. This country needs a hard reset and I have no idea how that is even possible at this point. Some of the shit I hear people quote out in the wild as truth makes so little sense and is EASILY proven false. It just gives me little hope that anyone on one team gives two shits about this country. I take weeks off from the media for my sanity and just exist in the world. Then I step back in and see what crazy shit happened. Oh boy, it is wild to see how transparently bullshit of a world we live in.

If more people would step away from socials, mainstream, cook bullshit and just exist, it would possibly solve some issues. We don't all have to be so gd wound up all the time. I am guilty as hell of it too. I dont have socials, but i haven't opened CR for awhile just to stay sane. Just have to unplug some and reset.

Well, I ain't never been the Barbie doll type
No, I can't swig that sweet Champagne, I'd rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate
I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me, but I don't give a rip
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip
'Cause I'm a redneck woman
I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say, "hey ya'll" and "yee-haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on
On my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here's to all my sisters
Out there keeping it country
Let me get a big "hell yeah"
From the redneck girls like me
Hell yeah (Hell yeah)
Victoria's Secret, well their stuff's real nice
Oh, but I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal-Mart shelf half price
And still look sexy
Just as sexy as those models on TV
No, I don't need no designer tag
To make my man want me
You might think I'm trashy, a little too hardcore
But in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door
I'm a redneck woman
I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raising

They actually clapped at the end of that.  They don’t care what he says as long as he cuts rich peoples taxes or corporate taxes to help their companies bottom line.  Fuck everyone and everything else is their attitude.

Yeah, but it’s not like she just showed up at Penzey’s to everyone’s surprise. A competent campaign has an advance team that scouts locations and does the groundwork before the candidate shows up. Vance obviously doesn’t have that. But Kamala knew she was walking into a friendly room and they knew she was coming. The camera crew was already set up inside before she entered the store so she wasn’t sneaking up on anyone. I believe that woman’s tears were real but there is some planning to all of those kinds of appearances if they’re executed properly. Not scripting, per se, but not purely improvised either.

Yep. He threw in the “Make America great again” applause line and they dutifully responded like Pavlovian dogs. Some of them probably barely paid attention to his answer and came away thinking his answer made perfect sense.

Finance ghouls already know Trump knows less than nothing about the economy and the reason they don't care is because he's not actually going to do any work. He's just going to rubber stamp the appointment of a pre-vetted finance ghoul who's going to do whatever the ruling class wants, with absolutely no supervision from Trump. Think of the economic club as a bunch of high school students who only want to have fun and Trump is the substitute teacher who gives no fucks what they do. The rules are made-up and the points don't matter.

This evening, the kids and I went to a local greasy spoon for dinner.  The booth behind me had a couple, probably mid-60's, who were finishing up.   They were talking about the debate as if it was a football game that was upcoming; they were excited.  Within about 10 seconds I figured out they were Team GOP.

The husband was asking the wife questions about format, network, etc.   The wife was using her phone and looking up basic information about the debate, and then when she told him it was 90 minutes long, he said that was bad news for her---she couldn't debate for that long.  Plus, the network was so biased that she obviously already had all the questions and whatnot.   The wife came back with each person would get 2 minutes, then 2 minutes for a rebuttal, then a minute for a follow up if needed.    Husband said Trump wouldn't need the full 2 minutes, because he gets straight to the point and could answer any question in 30 seconds or less, and his answers would be so great Harris couldn't reply.

I don't think a lot of the polls are as favorable to Trump as they are being made out to be.  Look at the Trumpkins in your life - if they are anything like the ones in my life, they are not that enthusiastic for him these days, unlike in 2016 and especially in 2020.

I'm still not seeing a lot of Trump signs, flags, and bumper stickers from 2024 either. They aren't going to vote for Harris, but I think a lot of them won't bother showing up at all, and it's not helped by the fact that as we speak, he is promoting the idea that it will be stolen from him, which can further depress turnout ("they stole it in 2020 and he's says they are stealing it again, why bother voting?").  

We can argue whether he actually believes that the election will be stolen or is just grifting off of it, but I think that he's recently been shown internal numbers that show he is going to lose bigly and so he's ramped up his rhetoric about the election being stolen and him arresting people who steal the election (hint: If the election is stolen, he won't be in office to arrest anybody, even if he could).

Maybe it’s the durability of a flag, or people doing smarter ways of supporting a candidate, but I just drove 30 hours from San Diego to Chicago and only recall seeing 3 Trump signs. I get it’s all highway and not populated neighborhoods, but I thought for sure I’d see more through the never ending cornfields in Nebraska Iowa and rural Illinois.
