It seems to have more traction this time, but I'm not sure anyone who hasn't already bailed on him cares.

I fear a bit that we're focusing too much on Trump and not enough on Harris and what she would do for the country, though the campaign itself seems to have a decent balance. I'm not sure anyone can be swayed on Trump anymore, so we should focus on getting our side to the polls.

Next two weeks should be focused on healthcare, abortion rights, and social security. I think those are winning issues for Democrats.

what kind of revelation would actually hurt him politically? Even if there were video of him raping a four year old boy, MAGAts would say it’s a deep fake by Democrats.

Now with trump, he has exposure in so many matters that I wouldn’t be shocked about something big like video of trump drawing the entrances to the Capitol for the Proud Boyz, etc., and placing a tracker on Pence.

Just like screaming “fake news” and “rigged election” allows them to create the false narrative amongst their base that there was fraud where none existed, this allows them to claim anything that pops up between now and Election Day is a fact less political hack job.

From my perspective everything the maggots do now is performative.

Buncha drama queens.

MSM source or two. Otherwise ignore stories like this. We have work to do and though it is nice to think there is some magic that will befall us in the next 12 days, we can't get dreamy. We've got to fight.

"Sure hes a jerk, but hes going send those Mexicans back, that's why i'm voting for him.

To the extent that tales of TSF's misdeeds can hurt his campaign, that's already a done deal. Just in the last week, he's riffing about Arnold Palmer's amazing dick at rallies while his former cabinet members are going around to MSM outlets straight up calling him a fascist nutcase. What could be worse than what's already on the list? Is he made entirely of toxic waste glued together by our collective misfortune? Does he sacrifice puppies to Beelzebub from his Mar a Lago basement? Does he host a daily breakfast party with the hallucinated ghosts of Jeffrey Dahmer and Timothy McVeigh? Seriously, what?

By now, publishing any additional material of this sort will only serve to motivate his base to support him, as they think it's all a media hoax perpetrated by the deep state no matter how well documented. Perhaps that's why TSF's campaign staff raises the possibility on CNN: as an essential part of their GOTV operation.

I'm actually certain that we'll learn new awful things about TSF every few days between now and Nov. 6, it won't make a damn bit of difference, and hopefully it dies down after he loses decisively. All of us know an unhealthy amount about TSF already.

Spin it as you already know all of the shit about Trump and you intend to vote for him. If there was anything else credible it would have been exposed by now, so go ahead a vote for the vindictive self serving racist convicted of fraud and rape authoritarian asshole intent on destroying this country that you worship.
