Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

I think so.

Same on the Dem side, add in the picking of Walz over Shapiro, Walz won't add a State but Shapiro would likely have delivered Penn and the Presidency, but the chaos in the party of having a Jew on the ticket ended that idea.

It may be enough to cost the Whitehouse

It's a tricky one alright.

They'd wanna be careful to turn off the radio in McDonalds lest he have himself another little sundown dance.

But if they turn it off he'll probably end up saying something derogatory about McDonalds workers or getting confused about where he is. The oul dotard.

But you're right. It'll be funny at least.

I sincerely doubt he's going to have a manager yelling at him for not getting the fries out quick enough, or for them being under/overcooked.

It's an absolutely bizarre and pathetic attempt at a "gotcha" and is just performative nonsense. All meme, no substance.

Whatever the religion, the devout faithful rarely abandon their God.

Trump is the republican God now as Jesus isn't Christian enough for the hardcore evangelicals, so they won't abandon Trump. Even when he dies, they'll build their party around him. It might break into factions as to whose more true to his message, but they'll all agree he's the man to be worshipped, even more so after his ascent into deification upon his death.

His spirit will live on within he Republican party, his mumbling rambling and hate-fuelled rhetoric the defining guide of the party. The sanitary pad on the ear will because the new cross, soiled adult diaper the new Turin Shroud, cheeseburgers and cola the new bread and wine, "They're eating the cats and dogs" the new Our Father, MAGA the new amen.

His word is gospel.

Never mind while he's alive, he'll be deciding things for the Republicans long after he's dead.

"All meme, no substance" is effectively Trumps campaign.

It's also unsurprising how easy he thinks manual lower-wage jobs actually are. I mean here he is doing a great job appealing for votes from auto-workers in South Carolina by talking about how their job is just assembling stuff from a box and how a child can do it.

I'll give him one thing, it's a very funny cheap shot. It might be all he has, but it's funny all the same. I'm surprised he had the smarts to think of it.

That being said, there's every chance he'll fcuk it up. I can see him trying to take chip out of the fryer with his hand, scalding himself. Or bending down and frying his tie (cue the headline "Trump cooks French Ties"). Or bending down to get a closer look and the oil bubbles and burns his cornea. Or the heat melts his fake tan.

Or while mocking Harris for working in McDonalds, the compulsive liar in him kicks in and he starts going on about how he worked in McDonalds when he was younger and learned a lot from it having never done anything of the sort in his life (has he ever prepared a meal himself?), completely making the whole exercise pointless.

There's just so many ways this could go wrong for him, and each would be funny.

Or something tragic happens, and his obvious mental decline strikes and he has a senior moment, like a slip on the floor and can't get up, or starts abusing employees, or just comes across confused and lost as he has done a few times now.

Or the slob in him starts eating the food while he's serving it to people.

He'll need to be handled very carefully by his people, while pursuing the funny shot at Harris, this move has serious potential for total embarrassment for Trump.

My money is him doing or saying something really stupid himself, he has too much form not to.

Yeah I found that funny, he complain they don't 'build' the cars here they 'take parts out of boxes and assemble it'

Which… just feels like semantics? You unbox LEGO and build LEGO kits, eg.; they (Volvo iirc) are building cars in the US. And many of the parts they can source domestically, they sure will, because costs. Same with BMW, which has a massive footprint in the upstate here, the facility pumps out the brand's world supply of SUV models. So I'm not sure what the hell he's talking about, these companies not only build them here, they export them out too. Impressive facility as well, I was blessed to tour it about 6 years ago. There is plenty of domestically sourced parts that go into a BMW, eg. the plastic injection molded parts, I've met with the VP of one of the local companies that does that for them before. Nevermind all the nuts and bolts and automation that goes into the factory itself, it's a sprawling complex of robotics and conveyors etc.; tons of other local companies make their bread and butter out of supporting the operations of places like BMW

TLDW: Yes, these foreign automakers build the ever-loving f*ck out of cars in the US. Trump has no idea what he is yammering about.

do odds equal votes ? because trump was 11/1 in 2016

what will happen to the useful idiots here ?

who cares? I just ignore them.

Georgia is updating its early voting stats on an hourly basis now.

North Carolina starts early voting tomorrow.

There will be tons of data to dive into over the next few days. 😏
