These pieces of shit, above, are emboldened by the Biden/Harris Administration penchant for hiring perverts and others who groom children, either directly or indirectly. Now with the Village Idiot out of the campaign and his woke, imbecile surrogate at the helm of the Democrats all hell will break loose!

Now, more than ever, do Americans need to get off their collective asses and get involved. Support Trump and let's restore American traditions and principles.

You're a Democrat? Who gives a shit. If you love this country, love your job and your family, put a pit bull in The White House for 4 years and let him clean house!

watching this now I was starting to get a little irritated because it felt like Harris wasn't directly answering questions but ngl I do agree with the people saying she's essentially abandoning the "they go low, we go high" bullshit the dems have been pulling for years now and is instead responding in a way that still gets her point across so you know the answer while also goading Trump on to make an even bigger fool of himself

Free Speech Under Attack: The Marxist’s March To Control Through Censorship

Michelangelo Signorile at The Signorile Report:

As I began to write this a few hours after the first debate between President Biden and Donald Trump, my social media feeds and text messages were blowing up with a bit of panic, as were Democrats and progressives on TV.

We’re hearing about calls to replace Biden on the ticket, coming from Democratic strategists, and about fear among donors and Democratic politicians. It’s safe to say most of us had a feeling of dread when Biden came on stage and was shaky and halting. His voice was hoarse (he reportedly had a cold). He was unfocused and confused. He allowed Trump to lie and lie and lie again, to even own the issues of abortion and January 6th—Biden’s issues!—and spin them around. The CNN moderators were terrible, doing no fact-checking and allowing Trump to refuse to answer most questions and continue attacking Biden. But that is baked in. We—and Biden—knew this kind of thing about the media going into it, and Biden is the one who wanted this debate. Biden rattled off numbers but sometimes got them wrong and tripped up on his words, stumbling into saying, “We beat Medicare.” He was not emotive but rather stiff and cold, offering a blank stare that seemed to show he was horrified and not comfortable. When he wasn’t doing that he was often looking down and not into the camera. It wasn’t the Biden who enjoyed—with a big smile—slamming down Marjorie Taylor Greene and Republicans at two consecutive State of the Union addresses. Later on, Biden came alive a bit more, and was more focused, particularly as Trump became a bit more meandering, pushing his lies. Biden flashed a rare smile or two, and he gave some cogent push back. But it was probably after a lot of people tuned out. Phones blew up, and by the end of the debate, many of us were asking, “What are we going to do?

Two hours later, I’d taken a few deep breaths. First off, Trump was a brazen liar as usual, and one hilarious, memorable moment will be his stating, “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.” Much worse than that, however, were the insulting lies that all Americans know are dangerous falsehoods. Trump claimed the narrative around Charlottesville—that he said there were “fine people on both sides,” which we all watched him do—was “a story that has been totally wiped out.” He claimed Nancy Pelosi’s own daughter vindicated him for the attack on the Capitol on January 6th and implicated her own mother was responsible. A complete and total fabrication.

It went on and on. We won’t know for a while what the outcome of this debate is for the electorate, but Trump, who began in a very cool and collected place (for him) became increasingly agitated and spewed lies. It didn’t seem to me to do anything to bring in swing voters or assuage those Nikki Haley voters. At the same time, Biden didn’t check him on the lies, and some of these were so easy—particularly on January 6th and abortion, which Trump claimed he’d done great things on by getting Roe overturned. So, yes, it was not great. Later, however, at a Biden debate watch party aired on TV, the president came onto the stage and gave some warm words to the crowd, a short speech in which he was lucid and connected, completely in the moment. It was a relief of sorts since it proved that the most distorted imaginings of the far right regarding Biden’s mental acuity and sharpness are not true—a fear that pulsed through us during the debate—and he surely was up to the job of running the country.

He just had a really bad night. Perhaps with a cold, and at 81, we’d all have a similar night. But we’re all not running for president, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

[...] Biden could give a speech in the coming days, not only showing he’s in the moment but also addressing what happened—and admitting it was a disaster and humbling. That would go a long way. President Obama did terribly in his first debate with Mitt Romney, and it happens with most incumbents in the first debate.

Michelangelo Signorile nails it with his post-debate recap: Biden had a bad start to the debate, and Trump didn’t do much to change the perception that he is an unhinged maniac.

god fucking dammit tumblr stop making me giggle at the crumbling state of the country, human rights deteriorating in said country, and the ability of our dumbass political parties to pick people who aren’t on the waiting list for an assisted living center while supporting genocide.

[woman-respecter]

I just think it’s PECULIAR that a lot of the same people who acted like Taylor Swift was an irredeemably terrible person for not officially endorsing Harris slightly earlier than she did are now condemning any reasonable critiques of chappell roan’s dumbass political commentary. And I’m not generalizing, i’ve literally seen both of these takes from the same exact people in my social media orbit mere weeks apart. 😑

GOOD POINT. almost like they’re just looking for reasons to hate taylor and boost up their fave and none the real politics actually mattered to them 🤔

[wastedandbasted]

This whole election season has been very depressing. Worst one I've ever experienced. Horrible choices and the one actually good choice that has a real platform that would literally help EVERYONE in a truly fundamental way, including Palestinians, isn't given a chance because people are so afraid of Trump (again). I'm starting to lose hope of any real change.

[texas-gothic]

Now that we're all sober, I really don't think it can be understated, even from a liberal worldview, just how earthshaking last night was. Just how much of a disaster it was, and just how dire the ramifications could be.

There is a very real chance that November comes around and the USAmerican people are asked to choose between someone that no one ever voted for and someone who might do his best to make sure no one ever votes again.

Three years of Democratic propaganda that the President has been totally fine behind closed doors fell apart yesterday evening. If the DNC has any sense at all, they won't run him. But the alternative is a horrible choice in and of itself.

This is a defining moment in the liberal politics of the United States. And not a good one.

As Israel begins school year, Gaza children face death and destruction

"While students in Israel started their new school year equipped with new backpacks, books, and stationery on Monday, children in Gaza face a starkly different reality, with many either dead or their schools reduced to rubble."
