"Vance is Weird"

[taiwan_girl]

Just politics. Try and find something "catchy" and simple that will go viral. Why do you think President Trump comes up with nicknames for his opponents? Then you have people who support him rolling out those nicknames.

No, it's not. You're missing the obvious. Going viral implies that one person does something that catches on very quickly and becomes ubiquitous.

Didn't happen here. This was multiple people within a very short period of time, using the same description. There is no way that is coincidence or something going viral. This is a case of a campaign-generated talking point.

What makes this what it is, is the complicit involvement of the legacy media, crafting Kamala's message to the public, amounting to millions of dollars of free negative campaign ads masquerading as news or news commentary.

Now, is that ethical journalism? Is it helping to rig an election?

@Jolly is just sulking over the fact that the Democrats are more effective at earning the support of the free press.

Pro tip: keep calling them "lamestream" or other derogatory nicknames will not endear them more.

Think I used the term "legacy". How'd we get from there to lamestream?

I guess thou dost protest too loudly. It's obvious what happened. Wonder why they can't admit to that simple observation?

In all fairness, some Republicans can be a little weird…

Look what Trump did to that poor rabbit’s ears. And while dressed up as Sir Galahad no less!

I wonder what sort of lubricious antics were going on for that to happen?

I think Hasenpfeffer is on the menu.

… I was thinking more along the lines of rather small co….. rooster!

Poor bunny.

After a week of raging at childless women, looks like Vance will skip a vote on expanding the child tax credit.

Even Schumer admits it's a show vote.

Politics.

[Axtremus]

Vance will fail to show anyway.

He was at the border today. Something that what's-her-name still hasn't done since June of 2021.

Nothing weird about politicians whoring for a photo op. That it accomplishes sweet FA is beside the point.

"Weird" is the least liberal sort of word to use to paint an oppositional political tribe. What exactly are the blue haired girls self-identifying as in high school? They want to be weird, so they have some sort of identity, or some sort of an excuse for being unattractive. Now they're all in lockstep calling their opposition "weird". Just more evidence that the cultural left is the new conservatism, appealing to the same people as conservatism has always appealed to.

Apparently this was outside a Reno venue where he was to speak.

He had a nice turn of phrase today, referring to the market as the Kamala Krash.
