The record remains broken and we grow weary of listening, but it's impossible to stop playing it — too much hinges on our refusal to hear:

@LightFIAR Yes, he must be presdenchul materiel if he can sling those fries, for sure! In a closed restaurant….

[eberhofer@defcon.social]

@wdlindsy right - the polls might be manipulated, of course. But the consistency in the polls across pollsters and states is actually remarkable. It's also consistent with developments in betting markets, crypto and the DJT stock price.

But what matters at the end is who turns out to vote.

@eberhofer I never discount polling out of hand. That wouldn't be wise. At the same time, we have growing evidence that in recent elections, the Republicans use polling as a weapon to skew polling results, and it's not wise to ignore that now-confirmed finding, either.

We also know that the mainstream media are perfectly willing to be led by the nose by right-wing Republicans, so of course, those weaponized polls get treated as bona fide in the media.

@wdlindsy and JD (or whatever name he's chosen cuz he gets choices, which women won't have) is equally unfit. He's hot-tempered, lies, willing to do anything Trumpworld endorses. He just sounds coherent, and that makes him dangerous.

@wdlindsy Some politicians argue with facts. But if you have no facts, you have to make Burgers. ‍️ #trumplies

@wdlindsy Mr. TFG looks like he dunked his head in the fryer...

@wdlindsy Seems to me the MAGA, GOP, and rest of the clan want Vance to install project 2025, this is my view..

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Piousunyn That's how it seems to me, too.

[lanaehforaday@universeodon.com]

@Piousunyn @wdlindsy

That is pretty much the pivot here. Trump was too much of an INDIVIDUAL KING and Project 2025 is a team sport.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@LightFIAR All that yellow hair dye and bronze skin oil in the french fries — yuck!

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@EngelMichelmann Very well-stated and clever.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@npaulreads Yes, I very much agree.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@LaNaehForaday @Piousunyn Yes, that makes great sense to me.

@wdlindsy To Republicans, none of it matters. B/c they just want a figurehead. They’ve already got everything they want. A Supreme Court who’ll restrict all the rights of the people they hate, including the right to vote. Someone to sign the deportation papers. Someone to destroy all vestiges of democracy. #USPolitics Our job is to #VoteBlue, resist, and maintain the will and the energy to continue fighting.

"No major party presidential candidate, much less president, in American history has been accused of wrongdoing so many times. …

America for the first time in its history may send a criminal to the Oval Office and entrust him with the nuclear codes."

"No president in American history has been wealthier than Mr. Trump. And no president in the modern era, at least, paid less in federal income taxes in their first year living in the White House."

@MoiraEve That's right. This is how I see it, for sure.
