Donald Trump fired off an angry middle-of-the-night attack on “highly overrated Jewish Governor” Josh Shapiro after he spoke out against the former president at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.

    I swear to GOD he’s trying to get out of getting elected but remain visibly hurt enough to get funding. He’s struck out and flipped off every demographic save for white Christian males. And he’s still pulling 49% at betting sites.

      The fact that he still has Christian supporters is crazy to me from the beginning. He’s the definition of sin from their perspective and back in 2015 I was sure they would see that and feel uncomfortable about his lifestyle but NOPE!

        We’re talking about people who have made their entire life’s identity around explicitly rejecting reality and their own observations.

          Internet says it’s from the 1200s

          Though lots of stuff associated with the bible was invented long after people think it was, so I guess this tracks.

            Well, it was a word in greek contemporary to the Bible’s writing.

            But I was wrong that it was invented there, it was apparently already in use to mean “actor” or “dissembler”…

      If he does not get elected, he will see jailtime. He is just desperate and his run of dumb luck seems to be stalled at the moment.

      His strategy only works if people act in their short term self interest and don’t stand up to him.

      Enough people, (the Business Execs, the National Security Hawks, and the Petit Bourgeoisie) finally understand that, if he gets elected, this will their very last chance to vote.

      They are standing up to him. They are providing real support.

      The fact that she skipped the primaries means Harris avoided the normal Democratic Circular Firing Squad. She has a real chance.

      BTW, I just spent the week in South Georgia. Georgia is in play. I was in a bar listening to old white dudes argue hammer and tong about Trump. I have been going down there regularly for 10 years. That never happened before. In the last year and a half, the loud Pro-Trump people started keeping their mouths shut. Now, they do not give any outward signs of support.

      Trump lost GA last time.
