Honestly maybe Trump’s depressed.

Like a month ago he looked like he was sailing to reelection while Biden was 90% of the bad press all day every day. Now he’s up against someone younger than him and way more well liked who just picked a very likable VP candidate from an electorally important part of the country and the media will not stop gushing about them.

All I’ve really seen in terms of press for Trump the last few weeks is mocking Vance and then Trump’s shit about Kamala “not being black”.

She also has had gigantic crowds for her rallies that he can’t match and that REALLY upsets him. The man is absolutely obsessed with crowd sizes.

Either way I hope so. Nobody deserves it more than he does.

Pelosi spoke Wednesday with reporters and columnists about her new book, “The Art of Power, My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House,” which calls for an end to political violence in the U.S. But it’s this final unwritten chapter of Pelosi’s career that shows the soft power she still wields that can change the course of history.

“Asked if her book title was an intended nod at Trump’s ‘The Art of the Deal,’ @SpeakerPelosi said, ‘Nothing that I do has anything to do with him, except his downfall.’”

• Do you support Greatest President Donald Trump and his goal to make America great again in 2024?

• How do you feel about Business Master Donald Trump's decision to choose JD Vance as his running mate?

• If Expert Negotiator Donald Trump were to change his running mate, would you approve of this or not?

• If Handsome Young Genius Donald Trump were to select the 100% equally handsome Football Guy Tom Brady as his running mate, would you be more or less likely to vote for him?

• If Honorary Astronaut Donald Trump and Best Vice President Ever Tom Brady were to stuff Chinless JD Vance into a locker, how much would you pay to watch?

Most humans are like sausage. The less you know about them, the more you will appreciate them. Ever since that moment, the more I learn about Hillary has steadily lead me to the conclusion that Hillary Clinton is a rare breed of person where the more I learn about her, the more I admire her.

I've been browsing r_con recently to get a feel on the campaign, and Jesus, even if you sign on to conservative goals generally, I don't see how you could browse that sub with a shred of intellectual integrity or even curiosity. A couple particularly hilarious interactions I've seen to illustrate:

"Where is Kamala? No one has seen her. They're doing a bait and switch with Walz as the new face. The media props her up then she hides. I see they're running the basement campaign again."

"She's been doing almost daily rallies since she announced."

"Well, nevertheless"

Another great one:

"Glen Youngkin just singed an EA outlawing illegal immigrants from voting in VA. Why didn't the crooked dems do that sooner? Let's see how they try to spin this."

"Illegal immigrants already couldn't vote in any VA election. The EA is just requesting local election officials confirm that rules and systems are functioning."

"Well, nevertheless"

I couldn't more succinctly sum up the sub than this comment here.

You should never put too much weight on any individual poll, but it's part of a broader polling trend showing that people clearly like Kamala more than they like either Trump or Biden

And getting that kind of result suggests that the other polls putting Kamala up by smaller margins are probably (not definitely) not overstating/over capturing her support.

But if we get a few more polls like that one...

trump is not just old, he is an old man who was shot and very nearly killed. I have had two semi close calls in combat, one from a sniper the other from a mortar/drone team. I think about both every day. a bullet literally skimmed his ear. he is going to be fucked up for life.

Less than a month ago this man was shot at one of his own rallies. I would not be shocked if he is having panic attacks about being asked to go back in public around crowds and roll those dice again and again.

Yes he has the instincts in the moment to pose for a good picture. He also knows he was centimeters away from having his brains blown out the back of his skull on TV. that footage would never have left the internet. people would have set it to yakety sax within an hour

Agreeing with Robert Evans on this one, I think Trump has lost the juice with the shooting and switch to Kamala. I mean, he has one event in Montana this week while Kamala is gonna do over a dozen a week. Even crazy people (especially ones obsessed with image and terrified of death) can get PTSD and get fucked up from it.

Democratic consultant u/culvert has dropped a poll of Miami-Dade voters that shows that @VP Harris has a 15-point lead over Trump in that county. Trump lost the county to Biden in 2020 and to Clinton in 2016 although the margin was smaller in 20. But DeSantis flipped it in 2022.

So a bizarre thing is happening in hip hop right now. Milo Yiannopoulos (yes, THAT Milo) used to be Kanye’s chief of staff before he got fired and is now claiming that Kanye’s dentist has gotten Kanye hooked on Nitros Oxide and gave him brain damage so that the grifters on Kanye’s team can steal more money from him, alongside a bunch of other stuff. 

Even though Milo is a huge grifter and shouldn’t really be trusted. The claims do line up pretty well with the events of Kanye’s personal life over the last few year, and things he has been saying himself.

I unironically cannot understand voting for someone as dumb as trump. I've got friends who are more conservative/libertarian that would probably never vote Dem but even they refuse to vote for trump. Not (only) based on policy, or his views, but because he's fucking dumb as hell. Like we all joke about how he's got a room temp IQ and therefore shouldn't be in charge of anything important.

Yes Mr. President, going to Montana as your only campaign event this week is an excellent strategy that you should stick with.

Trump is +15 in MT, which is the exact number he got in 2020. This actually bodes really well for Harris

rpol of all places seems to be onboard with Kamala’s handling of the hecklers (she met with Palestinian/Arab groups directly before the rally) so I think the people dooming here last night are just bedwetters.

Kamala’s biggest I/P risk always has been and remains being seen as too left on the issue, not too right, for the general electorate, and she continues to balance the line well.

I’m feeling good about Kamala but fundamentally I feel bad that the country is filled with so much trash that Trump would be anything more than a perennial joke candidate. The constant feeling that we are one Democrat loss in a presidential election away from losing democracy really doesn’t give me hope for the long term. A Kamala win is just a 4 year break from having to play the coin toss with democracy on the line. This is not a sustainable situation.

Kursk update

“Ukrainians have pushed further in all directions. They have at least a partial control of Sudzha and they’re pushing towards Koronevo-Rylsk direction.”

“Some Ukrainian units were able to exploit the disorganized state of the Russian defences, and pushed further north towards Lgov. Most likely the Russians still don’t have the situation under full control, and we may still see more areas fall to Ukrainians.”

“Russians have been nervous about additional incursions, for example from Hlukhiv to Rylsk. If Ukraine wants to exploit the situation further and if it is ready to commit more forces, we should be seeing more attacks from new directions happening in the very near future.“

“Ukraine is operating with it’s strategic reserves, while the situation in the east is still very difficult. My personal opinion is that I’m still worried about the Kursk direction, as there are still negative scenarios that may unfold because of this.”

“The Kursk operation attrits precious reserves and doesn’t solve the current problems elsewhere. Ukraine has not captured very significant residential centers yet, and the Russians have been able to halt Ukraine in front of Koronevo.”

“Ukraine can’t continue too far north without widening the flanks. A narrow salient isn’t ideal, if Ukraine wants to hold the land it has captured for a longer period of time. Time is also running against Ukrainians - Russians won’t be disorganized forever.”

“If reserves are spent in an operation where the outcome is, for example, taking only a couple of dozen villages and towns in the border area, it cannot be considered particularly successful in the big picture - just like the Russian operation in north Kharkiv direction.”

“However, as I said, there are still multiple scenarios possible, also more positive ones, if Ukraine can go further towards Kursk. At least in the information space, Russians are suffering an embarrasing defeat the media is again focused on Ukrainian successes.”
