Winning Hearts And Minds

Trump re-delivered old, stale pizza yesterday that they had to leave sitting around to wait for his photo op. Then he posts online that he delivered them to ‘NYFD.’ So they got stale pizza so Trump gets his staged moment. What a phony. https://t.co/IeEOT8Ls9i

Fuck reality. Optics are all that matters.

The pizza sat there outside the fire station yesterday getting cold and stale for 24 minutes until Trump arrived to hand them out for a photo op. He didn’t “deliver” them. They had been delivered 24 minutes before. But they had to sit there to wait for Trump’s staged photo op.

What a man of the people!

“THIS ISN’T A TRIAL, IT’S A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, A WITCH HUNT, JUST LIKE THE HIGHLY CONFLICTED AND BIASED JUDGE, JUAN MERCHAN, WANTED IT TO BE. I’M SURE HIS POLITICAL FRIENDS AND ALLIES, AND CROOKED JOE BIDEN, IN PARTICULAR, WILL BE THRILLED THAT THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS CORRUPT, “ANCIENT,” AND HIGHLY POLITICAL ATTACK ON HIS 2024 PRESIDENTIAL OPPONENT."

The whole universe is a conspiracy against Trump.

"THESE EIGHT YEAR OLD STORIES, WHICH CAME OUT PRIOR TO THE 2016 ELECTION (THE VOTERS HAVE ALREADY, AND LOUDLY, SPOKEN!), AND HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS FAKE CASE, BROUGHT BY A CROOKED, SOROS BACKED NEW YORK CITY D.A., ALVIN BRAGG, SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO BE USED. VIRTUALLY EVERY LEGAL SCHOLAR AND EXPERT CALL IT A SHAM AND DISGRACE, ELECTION INTERFERENCE." 

"IT IS AN INSULT TO AMERICAN JUSTICE!"

Said practically every convicted criminal ever.

I'm going to one-up Aaron. What's most striking is he keeps thinking that doing the same thing that he did in 2016, and in 2020, only turned up to a billion, is going to work this time. That makes sense, tho. For Trump, history never happened. https://t.co/gy7H4vtggO

I suspect that for every "leftist" who may be threatening Biden's coalition is a normie Democrat who's feeling thermonuclear rage and who won't let it fall apart. https://t.co/2vVPWYYXtc

Welcome to my side of the fence. This morning on MSNBC, it was reported that some 60 U.S. colleges had experienced protests of Israel/Gaza. That’s approximately 1% of all US colleges.

According to the most recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), there are 5,999 colleges in the U.S. serving 15.9 million undergraduate and 3.1 million graduate students.

And how many students have been arrested, nationwide? A few hundred? As many as a thousand?

There are over 51,000 students at UT Austin. In two weeks, about 140 were arrested on behalf of Gov. Gung-Ho. I’ll let you calculate the percentage.

Tell me again how this is certain to swing the election in November.

Noisy people don’t mean the whole country is noisy. I’m not against protest. I’m just against reading protest as an accurate barometer of public sentiment.

Some political pundits just need something to talk about. It’s never about how wrong they are, or how often.

Kinda like Trump.
