I am on day two of a road trip through west Texas. I have seen one current vintage* Trump sign in 600 miles, at a house in Balmorhea. I also saw a Harris sign in Marfa. 

 

* I also saw a Trump Pence sign at an abandoned trailer park with “Pence” painted over and some flags in front of a pretty best looking flag store in Ft Davis, but they looked like they had been up for several years. 
 

Anything could happen, but the campaign infrastructure and grass roots energy  just aren’t there right now. 

I noticed it when the Monday after Thomas Crooks tried his best nobody at the office seemed to give as much of a shit as one would think

MAGA is so fucked. Two mile long line to get into today's Kamala rally.

 

 

Taylor Swift bumping over the P.A. A Beyoncé song as the campaign anthem. Meanwhile, Trump has Ted Nugent and Kid Rock.

My favorite part of this, a 60k necklace that Vance lists as "costing more than 2 months salary."

Completely fucking out of touch with most Americans. 

I’m sure you were able to glean that he meant the VP salary specifically, but if your point was that much of his audience would not do so then I agree.

Not that it matters, but “two months salary” is pretty famously the rule of thumb for heirloom piece jewelry.

What is the Republican strategy at this point? Trump has essentially stopped campaigning at this point and they’ve got JV Vance out doing campaign speeches in the parking lot of a police precinct with more media than voters present. Meanwhile, Harris Walz is the hottest ticket of the summer. The complete flip of momentum is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It’s like aggy going up big on UCLA and then choking it away when it matters.

Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and this guy, who unfortunately had his singing career before autotune:

Fair warning: If you listen to this song, you will never want to hear it again

yes, that was my point. That is a fun raising email to a bunch of rubes. You can spell out the math at the top, but do you think they really carried that all the way to the middle of the post?

The Kamala HQ team is savage. Imagine going to work every day where your job is to make fun of Donald Trump.

The shitty black and white picture of Trump has to piss him off beyond belief.  They should continue doing that.

The better assumption is that the necklace was loaned to her for the photograph.

The allegation that she bought a very expensive necklace on the heels of the news that Trump allegedly took a $10M bribe from the president of Egypt toward the end of his 2016 campaign is a new level of impotent rage.  Really, just impotence.

Things I wonder—

 

If you think Biden has nazi ideas, you must surely then believe trunp has even harder nazi ideas—right? 

How do you cheer for Black athletes at UT? Do you use the n-word? I’m going to guess that’s a yes.

@Pimphand is most definitely a hard R on his n-word.  And looks around for approval from others when he says it.

Yeah get those oil prices down so refineries shut down and the drill baby drill crowd gets laid off because they won't be drilling baby drilling.

Refineries love low oil prices.  Rest of your post is spot on.

Whoa seriously? Is this whole campaign just about grifting money and not even caring whether he wins? Or makes no sense to close field offices, unless they are still open in swing states.

I hope this isn't fleeting.  I personally don't think I've ever felt this kind of energy from a campaign but I had never felt democracy could be in peril until January 6.  All of this is giving me optimism.

This is old news. It was news when he shut them down. And the answer is, it's about grifting money, and the assumption his win was guaranteed and/or he's going to steal it.

Would a necklace like that ever really depreciate in a "normal" economy?  I guess its value could fluctuate with the spot price of gold.  I doubt it would ever take a 20% hit like the average Volvo probably does once a new owner drives off the lot.

A lot of times celebrities are given items to wear for the camera for marketing purposes. That doesn't mean that necklace is her personal collection.

The plan is to steal the election with SCOTUS, I imagine.

They’ve got something planned. Trump has literally been telling his supporters they don’t need to vote.

To aid us in answering this q, we must ask ourselves, If the RNC field offices were paying rent in a building Trump owns would he:

a. close them

b. have them torched and then try to collect the insurance

c. quintuple the rent

d. allow them to continue under the same terms

Because the correct answer is (c) we can conclude he saw no way to grift off of that money the way he could do so if that money were in the RNC treasury, controlled by his family. Because we also understand Trump's an arrogant prick who desperately wants to become president, grift and stay out of prison, I conclude he closed those offices out of pure arrogance AND an overwhelming desire to grift whatever piddly funds he can get his grubby little hands on. He is who he's always been.

About the necklace, yes, both it and her clothes from that shoot could have been on loan to the stylist. And there are many similar-looking necklaces out there that aren't $62K. It's pretty common to see a well-known Tiffany or Cartier design "duped" at a lower price. Just google Kamala's Tiffany necklace for them to appear ready to purchase for the low price of $165.

But I hope (and bet) it's fucking real and hers and that she keeps wearing it. And then I hope some TikTok account runs pictures of Melania carrying various Hermes handbags and talks about their price tags because each runs anywhere between $10K and $75K (or more).
