The 2024 US Presidential Election Watch Thread 💙⭐️💙⭐️💙

As an NBC survey shows Trump slipping further with women, a writer who closely covers the abortion debate explains how Trump may be driving them away more aggressively than we thought.

September 23, 2024

In two bizarre rants over the weekend, Donald Trump openly fumed about female voters, lecturing them about why they should be supporting him and dismissing concerns about GOP abortion bans and all they’ve wrought. Meanwhile, a new NBC News poll shows Kamala Harris leading Trump by 21 points among women. Is Trump even trying to speak to them effectively anymore? We talked to Joan Walsh, national affairs correspondent at The Nation who writes well about the politics of abortion. She explains how Harris’s appeals to female voters really work—and why Trump is alienating them so badly.

Trump's outreach to female voters has been reduced to browbeating them into forgetting his presidency entirely and instructing them to stop thinking about reproductive rights.

Okay, my B/f friends. Why is Kamala only ahead 21%? Tell me why he has even 5% of female voters? I can see the MTG white trash imbeciles voting for trump. Exactly what part of: "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." THIS should have disqualified this putrid sphincter from even running.

Exactly. Why is it that Harris is only 21% ahead of a known checkered suit salesman??

We have one chance at preventing mass mayhem: please cast your vote for the person who is known for upholding democracy and not committing crimes against humanity: The Harris-Walz Democratic ticket is the only way to win.

Did everybody catch in the news recently how N Korea’s dicktator killed his uncle and recently openly killed his citizens over the climate change floods that happened recently over there??? This is the same dicktator who has a bromance with America’s wannabe dictator who actually espouses the same deranged philosophy of killing people who enrage them and don’t further their deranged style of dicktatorship. T——p was recently outed by his brother Fred III whose only child is a special needs person who needs 24 hour care and supervision. T——p told his brother to let his only kid die. Unsurprisingly, that same deranged mindset underpinned the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Americans during Covid-19. Don’t forget who has your best interest at heart: it’s NOT T——p.

Btw, Melania grifted a six figure check for talking about how proud she is of her nude modeling and wearing her red suit.

Just remember who really cares about you in American society. Harris & Walz care.

T——p only cares if your money lines his pockets. Full stop. He cares about no one except himself. Malignant Narcissim on full display 24/7/365.

Thanks for your post Ace! Appreciate you big time.

I think it's because there's a certain (high) percentage of straight women who think more about their men than themselves. Instead of having their own opinions, they adopt their man's opinions. It's just easier for them - it makes for peace in the house. They don't see the larger picture. And a lot of them would be horrified if you suggested they should think of themselves first and go against their men. It's actually very pitiful. Unfortunately, they get to vote.

So,,, I just was reading a bunch of stuff over on CNN and Anderson Cooper interviewed James Carville and his wife about stuff Carville has said over the years and what Carville thinks comes next— to which Carville said maybe it’s another plot twist, of some sort. lol. Duh. Of course there is room for more “plot twists.”

In my mind, I don’t see how anybody can think that DJT is a successful businessman. He’s not. He’s the king of losing money and benefitting from antiquated tax law that lets people with mega-millions off the hook. Why else would he give others huge tax breaks and let 90% of America’s poor struggle with carrying the tax burden zillionaire’s don’t want to contribute toward?

Rich people reap rewards in tax benefits that the ordinary person never gets a fair shake on.

On top of it, people who con others out of money or con people into funding their lifestyle are called “con artists” for a reason.

It’s amazing to me that people think he’s a good businessman. He’s not.

And on immigration? 45, the con artist, ripped kids from immigrants at the border who most likely will never see their parents again much less lead a non-traumatized life in their entire lives. You just don’t get over shit like that, in one fell swoop.

Narcissists don’t live in a real world. They’re Olympic sized “smoke and mirrors” and “moving goal posts” types of humans. They’re not safe people to know much less give any type of power to.

Can you believe Janet Jackson is spewing false claims about Kamala Harris’ race???

https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/23/polit...ut-harris-race

I saw that over on CNN too. Trust me when I say I’m done with liking people who seem to value lies over the unvarnished truth. I’m tossing out all my Janet Jackson stuff.

Do we really believe the GOP establishment wants felon 45 to actually win? His cognitive abilities are going south each day. For example, the other day his campaign confuses the state of Georgia with the country of Georgia. His eager admiration of Hannibal Lecter, and all things dictator, the word salad is starting to have too many ingredients.

Something tells me project 2025 (Peter Thiel former PayPal exec and a GAY man) who handpicked Shady Vance believe they can cheat and steal this election knowing full well they would never win the EC. In a few weeks or months, Vance would go full amendment 25 on felon 45s ass, and Vance will be the President. Far fetched? Vance is in many ways worse than trump. His hatred of women has even shocked me!

Anyway, I'm just thinking about different scenarios being played out. They need felon to keep his shit together long enough.

BUT.....my better angels tell me Kamala is going to whip out her can of whoop ass!

I so agree with you, Ace!

But seriously? Remember when Nancy Pelosi tore up those docs while nimrod 45 was going on and on??? Even his niece Mary Trump, a psychologist, has written books about how their family is so effing toxic, how her KKK uncle, DJT’s dad, liked DJT’s horrid behaviors from an early age on. DJT has been off his rocker , probably since the day he was born.

I myself come from a family with Toxic dynamics. I get it, how DJT has never been responsible for one iota. That’s how people dealt with members of their family who are basically the types of people needing medical care by people in white coats. Cover up your toxic family shit so nobody figures out what is wrong with your family, lol (or not).

I feel so sorry for Mary and Fred III. I know what it’s like having a monster in the family.

Thanks for bringing up the alternative scenario. Just look how that dude from S Carolina (Graham) is trying to make T——p look better, since that other Republican lieutenant governor has been caught red-handed with his depraved behaviors on porn websites. Wow. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, BAM! Out of the shadows we learn who people really are. I’m glad Janet Jackson spewed her hate yesterday. I’m no fan of hers, thanks to her jacked up way of smearing Kamala with her orange politics. WTF, for sure.

Just some news about a Rock n Roll icon, Bruce Springsteen.

Happy Birthday to you!!! 🎉🎶🎂🎊🥳🎁💙💙💙🦋❣️

Bruce turned 75, two days ago. That means he’s 10 years older than me and boy, oh boy, am I glad to know that he can’t stand —>>(DJT). Phew! I’m so happy to learn that today!

Btw, there is a new documentary airing on October 25th about Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band.

I might have a huge crush now on Bruce.

This was well done... "In a House Oversight hearing featuring several authors of Project 2025 (who just happen to have been in Trump’s cabinet...) Rep. Crockett exposes misinformation from the creators of Project 2025 and pushes back against political attacks from the far right."

Podcast title: Prosecuting D. T.

Link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...=1000670721161

What a fantastic episode today — (spoiler alert): 🎯

Mary McCord gave the opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee and testified about certain things going on in Washington DC concerning the latest John Robert’s court on annihilating what most American citizens have known for decades, if not hundreds of years, that no one is above the law, not even the person who occupies the highest office in the land, and how the Supreme Court mucked up this particular aspect in law governing our country.

Also revealed in this podcast was the fact that a non-profit launched criminal charges against DJT & JD Vance for inciting violence against the Haitian community in Ohio.

I listen to this podcast regularly and today’s podcast is the best yet.

Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.

Wow, can we get more positive assessments like the one Mark Cuban gave to Kamala Harris today???

LINK: https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white...o-220146757526


Just hearing Mark Cuban on Nicole Wallace’s news show, on MSNBC, was so danged awesome. I dared to dream about starting my own business, next year. I hope Kamala wins because if she does, all the lights will remain on in our country and no more divisive liability issues will prevail like they do today.


Way to go, Mr Cuban. Thank you for supporting Kamala Harris.


🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉

I just read a few articles over on MSNBC: one news article was about how the Letitia James’ $454 cazillion dollar fine on the business fraud case might be in jeopardy due to certain judges on the appellate court monkeying around with Judge Engoron’s final and ongoing decision to hold DJT & kids’ feet to the flame of the law. The other news article was how DJT opening grifts money off of people who have disposable income in excess of six figures (for his stoopid watches, bibles or golden tennis shoes). * V O M I T *. WTH, right?!?!

Is that what makes America Great? Uh, nope.

But,,,, thankfully Kamala Harris does have an economic plan that will dove-tail into the last fours years of economic leadership by President Biden. See link below:

https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/la...ies-rcna172889

———————————————————.

So, I live in a terribly Red leaning county. Most of my team is Blue except for two older people my age who have sold their souls to DJT. One is Asian and attends Catholic services for Asians and the other person is white, has led a life of white privilege and drive a car with a Trump flag on the tail end of the car and she actually divorced her husband and literally ruined his life financially while she lives high on the hog of the punitive income measures enforced on her very unlucky husband and on top of it, both people who are trumpers live a life of grift. Grifters who back grifters. Truly an eye opening problem I’ve seen countless times.

A) we’ve all seen by prior experience that Trump has no economic plan other than lining his pockets with ill gotten income,

B) it would appear that people who support the grifter-in-chief are people who live like him: skirt law and cheat cheat cheat and want the “easy” life as modeled by the ex-president and chief con-artist.


So enraging.

[Kätzchen]

I just got done with all kinds of important house chores and dr appt stuff to day and thought I’d listen to the debate. I only lasted through 1 1/2 questions. I think Gov Walz (D-Minnesota) is holding up well while giving answers. JD Vance though? He comes across, in how he talks to people, like a condescending angry boy in trouble with his mom and dad, like he’s got some chip on his shoulder or something. Idk.

JD is just like DJT. For sure.

Wow. There’s no do-overs. I’m trying not to let this stuff get to me but it feels like Nightmare Before Christmas scary movie type stuff come to life. There’s not much room for error. Sure hope Kamala does another interview with the press addressing important concerns most of us face daily.

The economy and housing issues like rent prices skyrocketing as well as the cost to try to own a home. There’s a lot of social unrest, which elevates the need to protect our social infrastructure so social order and safety remain a priority.


To take my mind off thus stuff, I did go buy an adjustable wrench so I can fix the handlebars on my bicycle (so I can ride it while the weather is so beautiful).


Oh, and Climate Change Issues.

Sure hope people want to live an apocalypse-free life. I know I do.

I haven't listened to it yet. I feel like it's going to put me in the head space that the Kavanaugh hearing did and that was not good. Your description solidifies my assumption.

I'm desperately watching for issues of housing and skyrocketing rents to hit the table here. Since I work with a very transient homeless population, the ability to get people housed sustainably is getting smaller and smaller. Even a program that I oversee that is entirely funded by HUD isn't able to cover rents and utilities for single individuals. And we're in a little no-big-deal urban area.

Oh my goodness, did they nail it or what????

Here’s their first skit for the season. I’ve been watching SNL since the 70s.

It looks like Jack Smith (with the help of the Robert’s Supreme Court) just sucked all the oxygen out of 45’s years long assault on American Democracy.

The latest superseding affidavits filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith were streamlined to fit the Robert’s court ruling. (See video in article link where Elie Honig breaks it all down).


It’s just a matter of less than 30 some odd days before Election Day in November.

Will American’s under the spell of the Charlatan known as 45 come to see that they’ve been hoodwinked into joining the ranks of a dangerous man who cares not for American’s???


The Bells of Freedom are Ringing across America!!

CNN did not provide a copy of Jack Smith’s unsealed legal document….

—————————————.

I hope people realize how serious this is that Trump is a disease, a cancer that will wreck everything that people have paid a high price for democracy: The revolution war, the civil war, ww2, and the millions of people who died from COVID because they believed the lies told by Trump.

Caroline is facing painful life situations due to her father sacrificing his life by following a masterful liar (Trump) and losing every ounce of credibility due to the malfeasance of Trump. Trump does not care about anyone other than himself. Full stop.


Please vote for sanity. Please vote for an apocalypse free life. Please vote for Kamala Harris who has given her life to representing THE PEOPLE in everyday concerns affecting people who live in America.

Do not let Trump win.

[Kätzchen]

Hey, Elie Honig? I used to feel some respect for you as a former prosecutor. You coming out and publicly saying negative opinions about the Special Counsel Jack Smith’s revision of charges against Trump is nothing short of an attack on the very profession you’ve been in for your work life and goes against your own credibility.

I have zero respect for your legal opinions now.
