Did they forget to draw an arrow to her skin and point out how she's either black or indian? Or is this the "friendly version"?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

They forgot that she also put a curse on their orange calf and made him say stupid things.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Isn't this what sexual harrassment looks like?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's funny how she can't string two words together but at the same time is a relentless debate machine.

Enemy is both weak and strong

Does anyone think having a Bluetooth set and getting fed the answers is actually a problem? There are so many problems you need to handle as president that I don't see any possible way for a human being to remember all of it. Just do your thinking offline, write down your reasoning and solutions, and clear your mind for the next thing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Seems to me, if you could successfully pull this off and not look like an idiot while pausing to listen to instructions, then that’s pretty impressive in itself and shows the kind of skills coordinating and multitasking that you probably want in a president.

kamala make them feel funny in their pants.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

She must be a witch because there's no way they could be attracted to a black woman... Or maybe she's really Indian, which is more acceptable

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Now for extra fun: consider how different the attacks would be if Kamala Harris were a male candidate, with all other factors as close as possible (age, race, background, etc.)

You wouldn't be hearing about how he "slept his way" to the top. You wouldn't be hearing about how his "handlers" had to feed him information because he isn't capable of debating on his own without prompting. You'd still be hearing a bunch of bullshit, to be sure, but it would be different bullshit.

The next time someone on the right tries to deflect or muddy the water with "bUt caN You eVeN giVe a sPecIfic eXampLe AboUt hOw tHe RePubLican party / MAGA / Trump Is seXiSt?", all you must do is point to the kinds of lies they naturally fell into about Kamala Harris.

What those higher up in the party think of women, and what the rest have chosen to align themselves to, is on full display.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

This is the worst iteration of Pop-Up Video I’ve ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

The earrings obviously told Harris the correct answers about infant murder and pet eating. It’s not fair.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If dumpy debates her again, I'd love for her to slowly and passive aggressively remove her earrings on stage. Maybe even ask Trump to hold them for her.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

B-b-but this is intimidation - she's taking off the earrings to fight a ~~frail old~~ perfect specimen of a man.

<blah-blah I NEED TO KNOW WHAT RACE SHE IS!>

<white noise you know what we used to do with women like this back in my day, folks>

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Hahaha this is the trolling energy the Harris campaign has been giving and I live for it

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kinda funny that they inadvertently admitted that she did really well in the debate by calling her a "relentless debate machine".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is this literal MAGA material? I assumed it was paraphrased.

I mean, is this not a joke about the real thing?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I can't tell either, and it's driving me a bit crazier each time I scroll past this post. I'll probably do a reverse image search to find out.

EDIT: No luck with Google, Bing, Tineye, or Yandex.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am genuinely interested in the line of logic that links "About to become leader of the free world" with "dated Montel Williams in 2001'.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This particular one has to be satire. That line. The "some dude" part. The "relentless debate machine."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

You may be right. I really hate that it's so hard to tell sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The delusional phrase "leader of the free world" always gives me a giggle.

The post involves either being the leader of a not particularly free country, or not being the leader of the far-more-free countries in the world

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The US is a leader among the countries of the world, like it or not. Though the orange one did a lot to reduce its global influence.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Come on, you can't deny calling yourself The Leader of the Free World is arrogant as fuck, and insulting to the far-more free countries

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I think it’s pretty cool that she dated Montel Williams. Get it, girl!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

honestly if you're good enough at fucking to fuck your way into one of the most powerful positions on the planet, while also having some kind of built in ability to go manchurian candidate super-politician if there's a bluetooth speaker within a 10 foot radius, i think you should have it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Yep I'm sure she wore those earrings as a prosecutor too.

To be fair Dump uses performance enhancing diapers.

Relentless Debate Machine - new band name

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like a prog rock band who wanted to cut loose and relax a bit, so they made a a side project to do punk music. Only, they still couldn't quite resist the urge to play in 15/8 time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Stop I can only get so excited for an album that doesn't exist!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Kid Rock’s new band - Rage Against the Relentless Debate Machine

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait is it this or witchcraft? I can never tell anymore.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

stares in racism

Thems deportation words ಠ_ಠ

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess that means she had those bluetooth earrings throughout her entire career as a prosecutor where she debated on a daily basis as well.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm curious where I can pick up some of this brain augmentation technology.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Kamala is a servant of the omnimessiah!

[–] [email protected] 101 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The very fact that they try to slut shame a woman simply for being a woman, shows me that the far right is infested with incels. What a shocker.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I don't know if it's even true, but if it is:

Consensual sex for a job > pedophile rape

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

don't humour it, that's how goalposts move.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Consensual sex ~~for~~ and a job. One doesn't have to influence the other for both to be true

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Never give any credibility to their lies. Shut them down wherever possible, and substitute evidence of the projection they stand for.

The claims that Kamala Harris ever had any engaged in sexual activity with anyone who had any power over the trajectory of her career are unsubstantiated.

The claims that Donald Trump associated with convicted pedophile and indicted sex trafficer Jeffrey Epstein, and that this association included visits to his private island, which was the scene of many of his crimes, are proven. The claim that Donald Trump has bragged about sexually assaulting women is supported by a 2005 audio clip that has been public since 2016

The unsubstantiated claims about Kamala Harris, even if they are true, are far less serious than either of the aforementioned claims about Donald Trump. This is not an issue of sexual misconduct "on both sides". This is an issue of double-standards and propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s not, and even giving it the possibility of truth without any meaningful evidence is playing into the lie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They don't care what the truth is. They yell "fake news" when something doesn't go their way.

Fake is real. Real is fake.

This just shows they have nothing real to go on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You’re right in general, but I feel like you’re arguing that it doesn’t matter if we say things to the effect of “it doesn’t matter if Kamala slept her way to the top, the Republicans did worse.” That’s a dangerous thing to do, because there is no credible evidence whatsoever that Kamala used sexual favors to advance her station and under the premise of “both things can be true”, you end up allowing for more people to believe a lie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I completely understand why we should shoot lies down and we should.

I was mostly talking about the MAGA crowd. They are uneducated, illogical, and crazed. Their minds won't change. I just don't want people to get their hopes up of changing these people's minds.
