If he wins I swear I'm going to post a collage of these moronic article titles claiming gg ez a week before elections.
Feels 1:1 like 2016.
That's because 3/4 of the FSB intelligence department is rotting in a crater somewhere in Ukraine.

It wasn't the rape charges, or saying he wants to fuck his daughter, or saying immigrants are eating pets, or that people are getting abortions at 9 months, or trying to build that stupid fucking wall, or banning Muslims, or botching covid, or the insurrection, or calling on proud boys, or having meeting with Putin, or having meetings with Netanyahu, or...

Donald Trump has committed like, a couple dozen political suicides and stood back up, which is fucking alarming.

Unfortunately, I wish it was
However, right wing networks will skip the worst parts. Many of themwon't even know about the open racism, and they'll reframe the rest as humor, and claim Trump is hilarious.
It's even worse than the Nazis because I bet nobody claimed Hitler was a comedian at the time
It's scary to think how much more openly fucked his statements are going to be in the next few days and as an Aussie, I'm generally scared for you guys
Even if he loses you'll be in danger most likely, and it will take years to recover from Trump
If he wins, it is genuinely possible there won't be a few more years left for anyone (he has no problem taking down everyone with him)
Lol, mocking a disabled reporter, bragging about sexual assault, praising Hitler and trying to overturn an election wasn't political suicide, stop trying to predict last straws for his career, there is no bottom.
The Daily Beast is essentially Fox News for democrats, and I say this as a democrat. I wouldn’t take much of what they say seriously. Especially their sensationalist headlines.
they seem like a sister pub of dailyKOS
I mean if 'grab em by the pussy' didn't do it...
Dude commits political suicide for breakfast daily. His voters don't care.
Exactly.
Where will Trump voters hear about the negatives? The 4th estate is not something they have any regard for or they wouldn't be on the fence. Newsmax, OAN, Fox, etc will all ignore the racism
No it wasn't. It won't hurt his numbers at all.
Naïve article overall. Writers should know better than to prognosticate on what could actually hurt Trump's chances. But this is a fantastic line:
That was clear early on when Tony Hinchcliffe, a man invited by Trump to give one of the introductory speeches—who in true MAGA fashion alleged without providing a shred of evidence that he was a comedian
It's a week before the election. Mark my words, he WILL shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any voters.
It'll be the final sacrifice, the saying was just part of a larger prophecy.
Paywall. Archive link please.
Trump literally can not be too racist for his followers. How has a headline editor for a daily newsletter not realized this?
It Was Also Political Suicide
DEAR GOD PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!!!
Narrator - "it wasnt"
I’d like to throw the contrarion opinion on if Trump wins. I think it’s a solid 90% chance if Trump wins he uses his position to get out of his legal trouble and grift his fanbase for money over four years. He leaves in 2028 and one of his shitbag kids runs, loses the primary, and we go back to “normal” old white people from the GOP.
He leaves in 2028 and one of his shitbag kids runs
Or JorkusDorkus Vance runs for prez while carrying Project 2025 in his hands.
Good god, that would be nice.
Edit: it would obviously not be the best scenario, don’t at me
I've lost count of how many "political suicides" Trump has allegedly gone through since 2015.... Yet somehow, here he still is...
My faith in humanity has been severely diminished by the fact his candidacy keeps surviving what in a sane world would be disqualifying events/revelations.
Kamala is expected to prove her worth for office and cannot be less than perfect, whereas Trump is allowed to repeatedly prove how unfit he is day after day
Some pundit had a catchy phrase for this. Trump can be lawless, but Kamala has to be flawless
Well, nazis are kind of like a society committing suicide, or maybe a murder-suicide. So it all fits.
Donald Trump could walk around NYC naked and shrieking the n word and he wouldn't lose a single follower from his base. He's s got a cult of personality around him that is basically indestructible.
It seems that is what he's committed to. There isn't much talk of policy anymore from anyone on his team. They're going all in on explicit xenophobia and transphobia and so on for this final stretch.
