The 2024 US Presidential Election Watch Thread 💙⭐️💙⭐️💙

Kätzchen · 09-24-2024, 11:52 AM

So,,, I just was reading a bunch of stuff over on CNN and Anderson Cooper interviewed James Carville and his wife about stuff Carville has said over the years and what Carville thinks comes next— to which Carville said maybe it’s another plot twist, of some sort. lol. Duh. Of course there is room for more “plot twists.”

In my mind, I don’t see how anybody can think that DJT is a successful businessman. He’s not. He’s the king of losing money and benefitting from antiquated tax law that lets people with mega-millions off the hook. Why else would he give others huge tax breaks and let 90% of America’s poor struggle with carrying the tax burden zillionaire’s don’t want to contribute toward?

Rich people reap rewards in tax benefits that the ordinary person never gets a fair shake on.

On top of it, people who con others out of money or con people into funding their lifestyle are called “con artists” for a reason.

It’s amazing to me that people think he’s a good businessman. He’s not.

And on immigration? 45, the con artist, ripped kids from immigrants at the border who most likely will never see their parents again much less lead a non-traumatized life in their entire lives. You just don’t get over shit like that, in one fell swoop.

Narcissists don’t live in a real world. They’re Olympic sized “smoke and mirrors” and “moving goal posts” types of humans. They’re not safe people to know much less give any type of power to.

Can you believe Janet Jackson is spewing false claims about Kamala Harris’ race???

I saw that over on CNN too. Trust me when I say I’m done with liking people who seem to value lies over the unvarnished truth. I’m tossing out all my Janet Jackson stuff.

Do we really believe the GOP establishment wants felon 45 to actually win? His cognitive abilities are going south each day. For example, the other day his campaign confuses the state of Georgia with the country of Georgia. His eager admiration of Hannibal Lecter, and all things dictator, the word salad is starting to have too many ingredients.

Something tells me project 2025 (Peter Thiel former PayPal exec and a GAY man) who handpicked Shady Vance believe they can cheat and steal this election knowing full well they would never win the EC. In a few weeks or months, Vance would go full amendment 25 on felon 45s ass, and Vance will be the President. Far fetched? Vance is in many ways worse than trump. His hatred of women has even shocked me!

Anyway, I'm just thinking about different scenarios being played out. They need felon to keep his shit together long enough.

BUT.....my better angels tell me Kamala is going to whip out her can of whoop ass!

I so agree with you, Ace!

But seriously? Remember when Nancy Pelosi tore up those docs while nimrod 45 was going on and on??? Even his niece Mary Trump, a psychologist, has written books about how their family is so effing toxic, how her KKK uncle, DJT’s dad, liked DJT’s horrid behaviors from an early age on. DJT has been off his rocker , probably since the day he was born.

I myself come from a family with Toxic dynamics. I get it, how DJT has never been responsible for one iota. That’s how people dealt with members of their family who are basically the types of people needing medical care by people in white coats. Cover up your toxic family shit so nobody figures out what is wrong with your family, lol (or not).

I feel so sorry for Mary and Fred III. I know what it’s like having a monster in the family.

Thanks for bringing up the alternative scenario. Just look how that dude from S Carolina (Graham) is trying to make T——p look better, since that other Republican lieutenant governor has been caught red-handed with his depraved behaviors on porn websites. Wow. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, BAM! Out of the shadows we learn who people really are. I’m glad Janet Jackson spewed her hate yesterday. I’m no fan of hers, thanks to her jacked up way of smearing Kamala with her orange politics. WTF, for sure.

Just some news about a Rock n Roll icon, Bruce Springsteen.

Happy Birthday to you!!! 🎉🎶🎂🎊🥳🎁💙💙💙🦋❣️

Bruce turned 75, two days ago. That means he’s 10 years older than me and boy, oh boy, am I glad to know that he can’t stand —>>(DJT). Phew! I’m so happy to learn that today!

Btw, there is a new documentary airing on October 25th about Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band.

I might have a huge crush now on Bruce.

This was well done... "In a House Oversight hearing featuring several authors of Project 2025 (who just happen to have been in Trump’s cabinet...) Rep. Crockett exposes misinformation from the creators of Project 2025 and pushes back against political attacks from the far right."

Podcast title: Prosecuting D. T.

Link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...=1000670721161

What a fantastic episode today — (spoiler alert): 🎯

Mary McCord gave the opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee and testified about certain things going on in Washington DC concerning the latest John Robert’s court on annihilating what most American citizens have known for decades, if not hundreds of years, that no one is above the law, not even the person who occupies the highest office in the land, and how the Supreme Court mucked up this particular aspect in law governing our country.

Also revealed in this podcast was the fact that a non-profit launched criminal charges against DJT & JD Vance for inciting violence against the Haitian community in Ohio.

I listen to this podcast regularly and today’s podcast is the best yet.

Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.
