Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

[The Quartermaster]

This is kinda insane. With regards to the Elon/Trump interview.

I thought the UK was not in the EU anymore?

Elon should tell them to pound sand and either come up with their own platform, block his to keep their pretense of a safe space, or remove all EU pages from his.

The fascinating thing about Trump is that people just hate the man, hate him like it is what keeps them alive. They want him gone and from politics and they will still hate him no matter what.

All of this hate for one guy, global hate, think about that, but where's our global praise for someone? You're telling me out of the 7-8-whatever BILLION people on this planet, not ONE of them is worthy of positive coverage? Not one person deserves the same level of respect as Trump receives in hate? All of the time, money, and emotional capital into hating this one person could be so much better spent on lifting up others.

But the Orange Man is bad and a threat to the entirety of Western civilization or something. I guess.

I am trying to find what he did that was bad. I am not seeing the Hitler correlations with. Nor am I seeing the racism.

President Trump said it pretty clearly - whether people want to admit it or not...

This type of bull shit isn't about "him" it's about "US"
...he is just standing in their way.

Everyone wants to hate something, and they want to feel superior to someone else. If you can give that to them, you can get them to do ANYTHING you want. Good or bad.

The Left (especially, but not exclusively) hates Trump because of what he represents, not just because of what he is. He's a very easy target to hate, because he represents many of the few remaining things that you're actively allowed to hate on in America without being cancelled: he's white, male, hetero, perceived as Christian (although think he said he isn't?), rich, on the political right, and oh yeah, a proud American. That's a pretty good summary of the only things you're allowed to hate in America in 2024, anything else and you're some flavor of -ist or -ism.

And of course was a life-long democrat and friends with all the social elites.

For this that didn’t listen to the live feed- Trump and Elon got almost *a billion* eyes and ears last night.

Mainstream media is dead. This was a walk off home run but Trump- first with Aidin Ross- now X?

Harris camp has to respond. Their presser basically trying to say Orange Man Still Bad isnt working. Nightmare scenario.

I saw something that the interview had the highest audience of any president/presidential candidate, ever. That's just nuts.

Just imagine how popular Trump and his message would be if it wasn't getting actively throttled on almost every other major social media platform

Did they talk any about Trump coming back to X?

In fairness, Elon invited Kamala on to do the same thing X.

On the other hand, Harris said that the best rapper alive was Tupac. Soooooo, maybe the Biden Basement strategy is actually the best for her campaign as well

In fact, if I was a Harris campaign spokesperson, I'm keeping her as far away from a microphone as possible and hoping Trump shoots himself in the foot enough to catapult her to the WH.

We all know Tupac isn't really dead. Dave Chappelle tried to tell us. ;)

The MSM is going ape shit over the interview...

WaPo reporter asking/suggesting the White House censor the interview. The responses on Twitter are hilareous.

I guess the political-media complex has moved away from "weird" and into some version of "rambling" and "lies."

"Weird" how consistent they always seem to be.

They didn’t. He was on for the duration of the call but hasn’t engage as much after.

Bagram AB, Iraq is a "dark site" located just outside Camp Cropper by the old Zoo area around VBC, all the rendition flights went in and out of there.....I can't believe you green tag guys don't know about it.....

Do you even OPERATE!



But, seriously....the VP candidate is a tool.

The guy could've just just truthfully said "I served as a Sr NCO in the Army and retired after 20 + years of service" and that alone would've given him some credibility. Now, he's a just a douchebag butt of jokes and memes.
