What's True Pussycat? - Trump Thread #134

[Spandauer]

Non-fake, stable genius thanks to @Crucible for the new thread title.

Seniors' special today.*
They’re eating the dogs!
They’re eating the cats!
They’re eating the pets!...
So do you want fries with that cat? (*Apologies to non-MAGA seniors)

In other news, the swing states continue to be too close to call and it looks like it's going to be a nail-biting, buttock-clenching, hand-wringing 50 days to the election. (or thereabouts)
Increase your anxiety with this handy countdown 😭

I know that quite reasonably, there are many women who think Harris and the Left have gone "too woke" with TWAW. I'm torn but consider the threat to women's future is greater from the restrictions on reproductive health posed by the Right.

As a keen golfer, there was a snippet courtesy of Hannity re Trump's reaction to the gunfire while he was playing golf a few days ago, that I thought was Classic Trump.
Hannity reported that Trump said Ugh, I really wanted to finish the hole. I was even and I had a birdie putt, and it was … on the fifth
So in the midst of this - admittedly after checking everyone was OK - Trump had to insert a little brag that he'd played holes 1 to 4 in Par, and had a putt for Birdie. Yeah, not convinced on that one. He's not a Professional golfer.

Interestingly, later retellings of the story directly from Trump don't mention how well he was scoring so maybe some fact checking intervened...

That story is tragic

I have had two MMC (of much wanted pregnancies - the 2nd one of twins ). In both cases, my body never did "the necessary" and I had to have an ERPC, before infection set in.

I fear that a woman in certain of the US states would be be able to access that care - and make a sad situation even worse - and potentially dangerously so

t* playing golf is (possibly) like the queen of hearts playing croquet with flamingos...

As a golfer, I can confirm that his swing does look like he's fighting with a long legged bird

Just watched channel 4’s ‘Trump’s Heist’ - he really is unbelievable.

Republicans against Trump

@RpsAgainstTrump

OMG. Trump Just said that the audience at the debate went “absolutely crazy” when the moderators fact-checked him. There’s one problem: There was no audience at the debate.

Republicans Against Trump is a great follow if you're into twitter at all - real republicans who know his achilles heel/s and often very funny

Following! 👍

Agreed, I also follow George Conway for the sake of interest.
Acyn is a new name to me, I've seen a lot of anti-Trump stuff from them pop up on Twitter recently. I like their work.

That'll be the voices in his head going crazy

Ha ha! Wonder if he walks round with a constant chorus of applause and approval

Might also explain him waving to non-existent crowds

🙈

Has anyone seen any voting intentions for Ohio since the republicans started this racist nonsense?

Maybe they approve IDK what with having VD Vance as their senator

I suppose that if you take attitude that "a part of what Trump said will be proven true" then, in Farage/Trump logic:

• There are people who live in Springfield
• There are dogs and cats in Springfield
• There are Haitian people in Springfield
• People eat

Ergo, part of what Trump says is true

There's been a very small reduction in support for Trump and a very small increase for Harris - but it's still predicted to go comfortably for Trump (ie even within polling variance)

Thank you @prettybird - that's mildly encouraging

My cat wasn't eaten, but I did find her outside the Turkish takeaway waiting patiently while they prepared a kebab for her. Does that count?

It's the turn of graduates now for Vance's disapproval

JD Vance: “Destroy the Universities,” College Graduates are “Worse People,” “Deranged”

Vance claimed universities “don’t do anything good”

Yes, because they desperately need to foster distrust in science, education and expertise if they want to keep the electorate stupid enough to vote for them (sorry).

Particularly amusing coming from JD

Another great TRIP US this morning - (Katy and the Mooch are joining Rory and Alastair for their tour next month if anyone fancies going along, sadly I can’t make it 😭)

They talked a lot about how Pennsylvania is going to be key - whoever loses it needs both Georgia and North Carolina. Things are within the margin of error still, but a handful of polls are starting to show Harris pulling ahead of the giant Cheeto.

They think the Springfield story is killing Trump’s momentum and not resonating the way his team thought it would. Mooch also talked about how Trump is playing Vance and basically humiliating him at every opportunity.

There's also some weird stuff coming out of North Carolina. The GOP candidate's Internet profile just been exposed by CNN. I don't know if it will make a difference to the overall race, but Mark Robinson was endorsed by Trump and could drag him down in that state.

This is good. Trump speaks at event against antisemitism. In his speech, says if he loses the election it'll be Jewish voters who don't vote for him's fault.
"I blame the Jews", says D.Trump, to Jewish audience! 😳😂 Sorry paywall, Google, story is everywhere!

Honestly
The thing is people will just handwave it away

The base will, of course. The undecideds may have a limit, although you'd think they'd have reached it by now.
