Nobody else would bother… so, who else?
As if Harris needed commit burglary to discover that overt bigotry and sucking billionaire dick was Trump’s whole campaign strategy, lol
I'll absolutely put my tinfoil hat on for this, but I swear I would not be surprised to find they did this to themselves to play victim and create an "evil Democrats" drama for right wing media to run with for their audience since they're fumbling so hard with Biden dropping out.
The two minutes hate needs a new Goldstein since it doesn't seem to be working currently with Kamala.
or it was one of his fanbois in a lifted truck, but couldn't afford the trump signage on it.
Your ref makes me think. Similarly to 1984, half of america is in a post-truth world.
If watergate happened again today, Trump would say “fake news”, liberals would be outraged, and a week later everyone would have forgotten. Welcome to dystopia.
That's exactly why Fox News was created in the first place: literally by a member of the Nixon Administration, as a countermeasure against the media reporting the truth during future Watergate-type Republican scandals.

Yup! As another user pointed out, it's exactly why fox news even exists. Their prime time opinion shows are almost literally the two minutes hate they just don't have a single Goldstein, they have a Goldstein of the week/month.
Every night they sing lullabies of "hate the liberal. Hate the left. Hate hate hate. Be angry." They're like the opposite of the Daily Show, instead of laughter they use anger.
EVERYBODY is tearing into this piece of shit now thanks to Harris and Walz. Is this real? Somebody pinch me!
every passing day i continue to wonder if i actually fucking died on the morning of july 21st and that everything that has happened since then has been a manic hallucination of my neurons all firing off one last time.
If that’s the case, please keep riding that high for as long as possible for the rest of us.
I shall execute this solemn duty with utmost determination!
That's hilarious, and unacceptable. I hope they catch the guy.
As the only ones who would ever think they held anything of value would be themselves, one could only reasonably conclude that this was a self-inflicted event intended to draw attention and sympathy— the vampiric feed of Trump.
I mean, I bet in a hundred years, all that trump merch is gonna be worth something.
Same way nazi shit is today.
The thing that makes Nazi merch interesting... is all the fucking Nazis who died wearing it and opposing them.
But golden freedom shoes and copies (not originals) of NFTs should definitely go into a hall of shame somewhere.
wait until they decide the gold shoes are nazi merch.
Did kanye ever wear a pair?
A man broke into and burglarized a Trump campaign office in suburban Washington, D.C., on Sunday, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. Police published photos of a man, his face visible, walking around the office and appearing to stuff items into a backpack. Police said they were notified of a break-in at about 9 p.m. Sunday. “It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in a statement. “We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind.”

So... why don’t they include these public photos of the burglar in the article?
Linked article does
"Orange skin. Bright-yellow-bleach-blond hair. Mid-80's. Fat; wearing a cheap suit with padded shoulders straight out of the eighties. Slurred speech. Kept muttering '...by the pussy...' and 'they just let you."
-A description of the burglar, maybe.
