Miller appeared on Fox News on Sunday, where he went off on a rant about the Democratic votes were thrown away as the party rallies around Vice President Kamala Harris.

"They held a primary. They had ballots. They filled out circles!" Miller shouted on Fox News. "They went to the voting booths. They spent money on advertisements!"

Still yelling, Miller says that Republicans also spent money running against Biden.

That’s because they had their whole “old man bad” thing planned out for the next 4 months.

Nazi rhetoric falls apart when you take away the boogie man. No sleepy Joe, no laptop or emails or some bullshit. They have to come up with something new. He is scared, because they are incapable of talking about actual issues.

More than that, as fucking tepid a choice as Kamala Harris is to me, I have almost no doubt in my mind she can kick Donald's ass at a debate. She is an older, half-african-american-half-asian-american woman -- yeah, my money says she can both out-sass and out-maneuver him. That's gonna be a show worth watching (and the entire country will be) so be ready for September 10th. We gon' see some shit.

That's assuming the debate actually happens... I think it's more likely than not that Trump will try to weasel out of a debate with Harris — probably blaming some bullshit concerns about venue security or something like that in order to milk his shooting for all it's worth.

This is exactly what i expect will happen, right down to the security concerns

I agree, but I think he'll try to lay the blame on the Democrats while doing so.

"Oww! My ear spurs! From where I took that bullet for America and stuff, y'all! I better skip the debate. Doctor's orders!"

I wonder how long Trump's going to wear the ear bandage for. It's be hilarious if he never took it off.

There's never going to be a debate.

Trump is dodging that debate harder than he dodged fatherly duties while Melania was pregnant with Barron.

Eh, they have a file on everyone, it's not like there's noting they can use to criticise Harris with. They'll probably reuse half the Obama playbook as well (birth certificate, use a dark filter on all images of her, something about terrorist parents, ...). I have no doubts they can start spreading a bunch of fresh lies between now and November.

Yeah I don't know what the other guys talking about as if they don't have a fucking gun in their bullet for this one? The party built around sexism and racism won't have a attack angle and a black woman?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started calling her a “crooked cop” or something. Based on the same zero evidence they’ve given for calling Joe crooked.

I've started to see birther rumblings though idk if that one will get traction

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Well, there goes the Hunter Biden thing.

I think his is more angry that he is seeing his opportunity to oppress minorities start to slip away.
