Trump Trial Time - banish all memories of Mueller.

Is this #132?
Still trying to rid the world of this troublesome twat.

It's a video of Vance at the ISI

JD Vance calls for taking away voting power from “people who don’t have kids”:

“Doesn't this mean that non-parents don't have as much of a voice as parents? Yes. Absolutely”

He is wittering on about people with children having more stake in the future than people without children, so maybe their votes ought to count for more.

It reminded me slightly of the idea of the votes of people who were black only being worth three-fifths as much as the votes of people who were white. And wasn't there something about literacy tests for black people but not white people?

Vance is a throwback.

Maybe people without children should count for 3/5ths of a normal person ?

Lol. I made up a birthdate for twitter. I figure, even though Elon can spy on me in my car, I'm not telling him when I was born. 😂I even had the presence of mind to email the fake one to myself for when I can't log in and have to resuscitate it.

Ah, x-post with a similar mind ....

It would certainly cause some interesting issues for men of the Former Guy's ilk.

TFG managed to get some women to marry him, so knows he has children... but there are a lot of his ilk who don't know whether they've fathered children, or have spent their lives ignoring or actively denying paternity of their children.

Apparently the Vance video is from 2021. Not that it excuses what he said, he’s still batshit.

I've obviously lied to Elon about my true age (old but younger than Trump!) but I did not have your foresight.
I used to have a made up name twitter account that I've lost and this one is in my real name fo complaining to Utility companies! So I don't really use it to sound off online, just lurk and read

Snap! I took the opportunity to make myself nearly 20 years younger. And I'm still old (ish) with my new one 😄

Trump hasn't quite backed out of debate with Harris but his campaign say they won't commit to any schedule with her until she is confirmed as nominee (plus insert guff about DNC looking for a "better" candidate)

Biden wasn't officially the nominee either.

A really good TRIP US this morning, well worth a listen/watch

The Obamas are onboard. 👏🏻

The Obamas have endorsed Kamala.

There had been a few questions around why they had not come out for her yet and whether they actually wanted an open convention. However Mooch suggested on today’s TRIP US (obviously recorded before the endorsement was announced) that they were just avoiding stepping on Biden’s toes - they had apparently been key background players in getting him to step down so they didn’t want it to look like they were shoving him out the door by immediately endorsing Kamala.

Cross posted @Spandauer 🤣

Is this the start of a cascade of fall in Trumps support. Could it be entering some sort of death spiral ?

As someone who may have over-read Tolkien in their youth (if that's even possible) it's hard not to imagine some sort of battle in the skies. Well without coffee at least.

I suspect that there'll be even more republican wailing and gnashing of teeth now. With a good sprinkling of re-hashed 'slurs' aimed at the Obamas.

'coz that worked so well last time.

Trump is a loser. We must always keep that in mind, when things look bleakest: he won once, and since then has lost pretty consistently.

And when he won he was a unproven politician, full of vague promises.
Now he's got a track record of being a godawful politician who fails to keep even vague promises.

@SerendipityJane I can confirm it is not possible to read too much Tolkien, in one’s youth or otherwise ☺️

So glad to see the Obamas' endorsement. And I have no problem with their timing.

IMHO, when it comes to politicians including ex-POTUSes (ex-POTI?) giving endorsements, it's all going to be carefully timed for maximum effect and/or publicity. Releasing statements one by one allows each one to reach their intended audience, whereas a 'waterfall' of announcements all at once will get them 'lost' in each other.

I think celebrity endorsements can come when they will. They mean less and less these days as far as getting votes for their chosen candidates. Except perhaps for Taylor Swift. She does seem to have a huge effect on her fan demographic. I just don't know how many of them are 18+.

I really don't think we can count on a huge drop in the Trump numbers. The people who would admit voting for him to pollsters aren't going to ever switch to Kamala. What we need is a rise in her numbers from Independents and disaffected Repugs. As well as the Dems who weren't committed to voting for Joe.
