he told his supporters "to go out and vote on 'January 5th’”

Yes, listen to your dear leader. Mark your calendars and make sure to visit the polls in January. We all know Trump is always right and knows exactly what he’s saying, which is why it’s so important to only follow what he says to do. Don’t listen to any of the liberal lies about when election day supposedly is. They’re just trying to confuse you with more FAKE NEWS.

I heard there is a big liberal media conspiracy to trick everyone into fake elections claiming to be in november so that they don't vote in the real ones.

"Donald Trump says to vote on January 5th. The liberal media is telling you you should vote in Nov instead. Who do you believe?" /s

That's such a "Doesn't he look tired" move on Kamala's part. Love it. I watched that Trump town hall, it was not a good look for him at all. It started very late, questions came off of prepared queue cards, Trump rambled nonsense while holding himself up on a chair and sitting like there was something in his pants, then he called it early and just stood there swaying back and forth.

Dude is not all there, and it's worse than before, and I say that as someone who believed until yesterday he was just as bad as always, he isn't, it's much much worse now.

Harris’ response has “Bless his heart” feels to it for sure.

He does appear to be “fraying” and at an increasing rate.

And I love that for him

Four words!

The man is clearly sundowning in front of everybody's eyes

Harris needs to be HAMMERING this.

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

She's certainly increased her messaging about it. For instance, she recently release her medical records and loudly asked why trump wasn't doing the same this year when he has in the past

why trump wasn't doing the same this year when he has in the past

Which, honestly, is kinda weird. Like obviously he can just fake records like he has in the past.

Trump opted to have more music played, rather than take more questions at the event, as he danced to songs including the Village People's "YMCA" and swayed along to Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U," Rufus Wainwright's version of "Hallelujah" and Guns N' Roses' "November Rain."

So, I know GnR has already told him not to play their music. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say The Village People and Sinead O'Connor would feel exactly the same way. I can't speak for Rufus Wainwright.

[-] undercrust@lemmy.ca 38 points 2 months ago

Sinead's Estate has also already demanded they stop using her music at his rallies.

[-] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wainwright has already condemned it and Leonard Cohen's estate has issued a cease and desist order in response.

Think since he is an admitted baddie he should play the Imperial March when he walks out.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

That's what was playing when our wedding party came into the wedding reception, and then Throne Room when we came in.

"Hope he's okay"

I don't. I hope he's very not okay.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

To be perfectly blunt, I hope he had an aneurism, followed by a heart attack.

Sinead is rolling in her grave. She'd hate having her music played by this asshole.

Lol.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He is not okay. He never was but he is more "not okay" now.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
