Remember this sage advice. Doubling, tripling or quadrupling down on an idiotic viewpoint only works if you are saying it to people who are too idiotic to realize it.

It'll work with the 45% who never abandon him, but I'm starting to hope that the weaker and weaker he looks, some of them will see it unavoidably and finally just decide he's not worth the effort and just fucking stay home. If the margin is big enough they aren't going to risk jail like Jan 6 anymore and will just go back to crying about Blacks and Mexicans at the shitty redneck bar where they all convene.

Since I guess they aren't going to stop, and the republican platform is to literally take us back to the early 1800s, here's a quick refresher.

Put it in an ad alongside Kamala saying she will sign that bill as POTUS

I get the political impetus, but that bill is shit policy and I hope it never sees the light of day again. As far as I'm concerned, Trump killing it from afar was the perfect ending. Democrats get to say "See, we can be shitty too! Trump just stopped us!" without actually doing it.

That bill is a giant fuck you to a huge portion of the Democratic party's base. People aligned with immigrant rights groups who have knocked on doors, phone banked, and organized. It's one thing for Biden to call Trump's bluff, but it's another thing entirely for Harris now to make it a campaign promise.

Fox News called Arizona for Biden waaaaaay too early in 2020, remember? They're not going to play these silly Trump games.

Yeah they weren’t scared to call it in 2020 with Trump the sitting POTUS. Why would they give a shit what private citizen Trump is gonna do? What’s he gonna do - throw a bitch fit, make a mess of his Big Mac and shit himself?

I could be pulling it out of my ass, but pretty sure the highly respected elections chief at Fox News no longer works at Fox News.

That bill will never see the light of day again which is why many in the GOP are openly pissed about Trump killing it. It was the best they were going to get and he fucked them.

Maybe every so often we need to post a reminder that Kamala is running for President of the United States - and not President of Left-wing Immigration Sanctuary Proponents, Inc.

What's the point? Motherfucker seems oblivious to two critical things:

1.) Everyone isn't him

I tend to agree with this. Kamala Harris can freely say she will sign it because it will never come up again. Democrats in Congress won't put it in front of her, and if she wins Democrats very likely control at least the House and maybe even hold the Senate by the skin of their teeth. Even in the world where we end up with Republicans flipping the Senate and holding the House, but Harris is President (this has to be like 2% probability), it isn't going to get 60 votes in the Senate.

Yep. She’s either getting a better bill from a Dem House/Senate or she can blame the GOP House/Senate from blocking it. She can say she’ll sign it but she’s probably not getting the chance. It’s just drawing a distinction between her and Trump killing the deal so Biden didn’t get a win

I'm less optimistic than you about that. She's boxing herself into a policy position that is unpopular with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and unlike when Biden did it there is no pressing need to get aid to Ukraine tied to it. It's just bad politics and will be bad for turnout.

Coming out of grad school I got a job offer at Sandia Labs.  One of the guys I interviewed with was completely giddy about designing part of the weapon that killed Muammar Gaddafi's son.  It was pretty fucking creepy.  I passed and stayed in Austin.

Jesus H Christ. Who would have thought that after all these years of him name calling and the dems trying to come up with a good retort, that we would settle on calling them weird? Then it actually works! They have no fucking clue how to respond, but it sure is grinding their gears.

Let's hope they don't co-opt the Keep Austin Weird thing.  They won't, of course.  But the only defense to "weird" is to lean into it, and they can't fathom doing that.

Dems could do it.  "Keep Republicans Weird".  It's not marketing genius, but it might block the move.

This. It's time to fix the goddamn border. We can then fix immigration more broadly.

or you could just act as Mitch McConnell does and not care about hypocrisy, if there is any in this case. He certainly doesn't tie himself up in pretzels over such matters

Memes have a very short shelf life these days. Couchfucking is old. Weird is old. The new thing is "Is she Black" discourse, which we need to move on from because it's a classic diversion. I think the Russian prisoner swap will be the new thing for a day or two.

Agree.  I was fairly surprised that Kamala said she'd just sign the bill, but happy both that she will and how she communicated it (shitting on Trump in the process).  And at the end of the day, if she gets the house and senate she wants, she can still add more to it to make the left happy.

It might backfire.  And I hear the corporation that stole that phrase from the guy who made the bumper stickers can be a bit litigious.

 

edit: Well, I'll be perusing Amazon for a bit.  

Lots of merch to sift through.

No, it's sticking, and will continue to stick every time they do stupid shit. The "Is she Black" thing is a perfect example. It's a fucking weird idea that they are dug into. JD Vance today stuck by his comment that childless women are "sociopaths." They're still crying about drag queens at the opening ceremonies. Trump is still rambling about Hannibal Lecter and asylum. They're weird as fuck. As long as it's not just "their weird" but targeting specific examples, it'll stick through November. He's going to keep saying that blue states allow babies to be killed after their born. I mean, that's really, really, really fucking weird, because literally everybody knows that it isn't true.

The Pilot Flying J option being the only clear choice is only because Weiner's went outta business a few years back.

You care passionately about a couple of issues. That's great. But you've also proven to have your finger on the pulse of about 0.7% of the electorate. I think we'll pass on your election strategy advice.

This is why "weird" is working. I mean, just look at him, you don't even have to hear him talk to know he's fucking weird in that ugly ass wal-mart shirt. He just reeks of weird.
