Said by arguably the weirdest person on that stage.

Biden outdated top-cop Clinton overrated paid-for-by-kamala-harris long have we waited power-stride Kamala activated jokermala

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You know she'd be saying that manically with that weird smile and laugh.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She'd have to do it Stavvy-style for something like that to land. Let's be real - a lib could never handle the crowd work like he can. If I'm keeping it a buck, I don't know if she could get through it without doing some body shaming. Calling him weird isn't the sure-fire win they think it is.

What about subtle, backhanded negging? "That's a very nice tie, Mr. Trump. Did you tie that yourself?" ... "Oh, don't worry, you'll get better at it. Some day."

...except if Kamala tried to spit out that one-liner, it would sound like it was fed through ChatGPT to fluff the word count until it could be used as a subclause within a EULA.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

First of all, EULA michael-laugh

I also think subtlety in front of the big, big crowd in front of the big wet boy would be tough. He has the home field advantage because he knows how Americans feel. He can read the room. So while you're trying to be clever, he hits you with something like "didn't you help with Ukraine?"

If it were me I'm betting the house, referencing They Not Like Us, and playing that Epstein angle like it's a drum during a Metallica concert.

‘Cackling Kamala thinks I’m weird because I support a strong America’ crowd boos Kamala shrinks into a corncob

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Oof, "Cackling Kamala"! I was earlier wondering what nickname Trump would pick for her as he has a talent for picking suitably negative nicknames for his opponents. Cackling Kamala may be a winner.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 months ago (1 children)

she sees what can be, unburdened by what has been

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm quite scared by the fact that these memes haven't gotten old for me yet. Starting to think I'm not existing in the context. kamala-coconut-tree

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

As long as she doesn't acknowledge the memes they'll stay fresh I think. Someone on her campaign is gonna fuck it up tho

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Me Trump sir with all due respect the vibes are off ok?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They legit are tho. Vibes have been off for arguably centuries.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

ever since that one fish decided to walk

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

That fucking bastard, now I have to pay rent

Kamala demolishes Trump by calling him the N-word.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I know she can say it but imagining her saying it doesnt feel right

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Imagine her saying it while doing an impression of her mother instead of as herself saying it.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same with Obama. Just wouldn't sound right lmao

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can hear Obama say it in his Dreams From My Father audio book. Very weird.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it occurred to me not long after I wrote that comment that he's been speaking publicly long enough that he's probably said it somewhere that someone could link lol

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's like that 30 Rock bit where Toofer the Harvard-educated black writer tries saying it to Tracy Jordan, and it sounds so off that Tracy reports him to Human Resources.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm imagining Jan 6th, 2025... Chuds try to do it again, but she personally arrests each chud, then goes after Trump...

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago (2 children)

you are getting dangerously close to the lib coomer-brain kamala dommy mommy posting im warning you

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

She lines up each of the ~~gawping, unguided tour-goers~~ insurrectionists in front of a wall, blindfolded, and tells each one "your fired" before sending them off to be indentured servants for UNICOR.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

A man has got to shitpost

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

This whole Biden saga has been part of a plan to usurp media attention from the RNC convention. Trust the Qoconut.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

You know this reminds me

Biden and Trump agreed to 2 debates, but since Biden is no longer in the running, do we think she picks up round 2 (assuming she is the nominee, of course)? Or does she have more than half an ounce of sense?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (2 children)

A debate would likely work in her favor:

  • Needs exposure and an opportunity to get a fawning lib media cycle
  • Pretty sure Trump has taken a hit in the polls after every debate where he faced a live opponent; he is a piece of shit and constantly reminds people
  • Trump also looked real old at the last debate, but that was overshadowed by Biden’s brain shutting down

It'll produce some great content whatever the outcome.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah they both looked like shit walking onto the stage, wasn't until Biden started talking that there was an obvious difference between the two

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I still think she is so deeply uncharismatic it will work against her, even though her opponent is approaching death's door himself

I hope we get to see though

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think Kamala doesn't have a choice. She has to debate him to get the exposure and make her candidacy viable.

I think if she debates Trump she's going to get her ass handed to her.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 months ago

She would make zero sense but she could talk faster. This is called the debate-me-debate-me effect and works on many burgerlanders.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If she can basically do the same thing Biden tried, which was call Trump out for lieing over and over again, except do it loudly and coherently -- coherently enough as in the words are not slurring and whispered into the microphone -- then I think it'll go well for her

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

No. Biden agreed to two debates and as an Irishman needs to hold true to his word and debate Trump despite no longer running.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is like exactly what we would have come up with.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and? Does a website filled with operators each possessing the political acumen of the entire democratic party consultancy put the fear of God into your liberal ass?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Excuse me you're speaking to the only leftist on the site

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

T-minus 6 days till official Kamala campaign slogan:

"Trump got a weird case why is he around?"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Finally a presidential candidate who isn't afraid to look drugged up.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I might be misremembering Hillary's reaction, but didn't she just sort of act like a dog having a thermometer jammed up its ass? I think saying anything at all is probably a real improvement.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Kamala please go on Chapo
