Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

Way back in the days of being taught Civics in public school - I learned about these folks called muckrakers.

In the world we live in - those cackling hens on 'The View' - Raychill Madcow - Sean Hannity - and pretty much ANY late night talk show host - all of these hacks fill that void as our modern day muckrakers.

They pretend to be serving the public by asking hard questions - digging into peoples privacy in the name of opposition research - smearing public figures using their platform - and ALWAYS hiding behind the first amendment when they tell their lies.

A guy like Gaetz could make a pretty decent paycheck just by stirring up shit. Who knows, maybe he could even fill Hegseths seat on Fox & Friends.

So THIS is the space I think is very interesting.

The Dems have beaten the conservatives to the punch here (because conservatives have this nasty habit of thinking there are rules, and standards, and norms, and customs and stuff).

Personalities like Maddow, Joe Scarborough and wife Mika, everyone on the View, all of MSNBC, activists like Joy Reid and Jen Psaki, Cenk from TYT (until VERY recently)- they are unrestrained by things like "the truth" or "morals". They get on TV, make HEINOUS allegations they then have to walk back, but that doesn't matter. A lie flies around the earth 2 times before the truth even gets out of the gate.

Keeping in line with my current vibe (You don't make peace with evil, you destroy it) and to take a page out of @Blizzard book- don't hate the player, hate the game. And in this case? Just even the playing field.

Don't worry so much about reporting "the truth", just have a show where you can say/imply the most heinous things about AOC, Jeffries, Biden, the Clintons. You don't need valid sources, you don't need proof; you can just speculate. Let them deal with the turning out of their pockets.

Just imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth when a nut ball like Gaetz goes on TV "during his prime time TV slot" and starts saying that the people wanting all the abortions are the pink haired fatties that nobody wants to impregnate in the first place...
...he's already said it on camera now he just needs to do it from his presenters desk

Then he just dives in head first and starts speculating...
...imagine the wild accusations about Pizza Gate, Panama Papers, Epstein's Island, Clinton Cash, Drug Abuse, Drag Queen Story Hour, Grooming, and even more Pizza Gate (because Pizza Gate is just such a funny sounding scandal)

His brand of crazy would be so much better than just having a dude with a hippy necklace and a wild hairdo preaching about the possibility that ancient aliens helped shape the modern world.

7-D chess?
Nonsense
Full contact checkers is what I want to see.

Exactly. Instead of pretending we are above the mudslinging, get someone to start fighting their fight.

As much as I want to argue against it, I've had enough of their BS. I want it to be beneath me and us but they really do need the fight brought to them. However I can see it backfiring using the Palestinian model of provoking things and then playing the victim.
 
I think Gaetz was a throw away nomination. Trump used it to determine which GOP Senators are not team players.
Now he knows.

Yes, under investigation, resigns for the AG office. Investigation goes away. Becomes a lightning rod for shock and negativity....resigns for the good of the Trump/Vance team....looks like he did the stand up thing.

Political PSYOPS
 
There's no question Bondi is on team Trump and she's component, so that's good. I'm not thrilled that she was a lobbyist for Qatar...but can with live it (from what I understand her involvement centered around anti-human trafficking efforts during the World Cup; she's been a big anti-trafficking proponent).
