This is classic! Kudos to the guy who purchased the domain name, and created those pages.

We live in WV. WV has always been a red state, ain’t nothing I can do to change it.

I went to a county fair today. The political booth in the entrance was for a local politician, the trump booth was in the back, past all of the food vendors.

The craft people did have trump junk, but you had to look through the god, butterfly and kitten/puppy offerings to find it. Nobody was wearing trump gear, not even the vendors who were selling it.

While there were no Harris products, there were also no Hate Harris stuff being sold.

There is no passion here and I’m predicting a very low voter turnout.

Trump will probably try to have it shot down.

My interpretation: **JaneDoe4** was already going to vote for Harris. The trolling (whether real or humorous) just makes her want even more to vote for her.

I expect there was meant to be the word “even” between the words “her” and “before”.

Well, a long time, but not always. Mike Dukakis carried it in 1988.

_Make sure you have some mental floss available when you read [this Yahoo article](https://us.yahoo.com/news/trump-insists-people-leaving-rally-225952072.html) about the melon felon’s version of reality._

> **Trump Insists People Leaving His Rally Aren’t Really Leaving His Rally**
> 
> GOP presidential nominee [Donald Trump](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump) attempted to do crowd control at [a Friday rally in Walker, Michigan](https://www.mlive.com/politics/2024/09/hundreds-line-up-to-see-trump-speak-at-west-michigan-manufacturing-facility.html).
> 
> Well, he wasn’t trying to control the crowd as much as he was trying to control any messaging about people leaving the event early.
> 
> Rally size is something that is important to Trump — so important that he became agitated during a Sept. 10 presidential debate when Democratic rival Kamala Harris bluntly [said](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kamala-harris-donald-trump-debate_n_66e0f453e4b027873082418f) that “people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.”
> 
> In Walker, Trump attempted to explain why rallygoers seemed to be leaving his event.
> 
> “The people that you see leaving? Because nobody ever leaves,” the former president said. “And when they do, I finish up quick.”

And here’s the hilarious part. First the melon felon shoves his staff under the convoy and then he has an _interesting_\* theory on what the crowd movement was really for.

> Trump then suggested that his staffers were to blame for the apparent departures, and claimed that people were actually lining up in the back for photos since he couldn’t pose for pictures earlier.

He didn’t seem to think that one through. If they’re headed for a photo op with him, _shouldn’t he be where the fuck they’re headed_?

Is your wife from Minnesota? “That’s interesting”, with just the slightest pause between the words is the Minnesota Nice way of saying “that’s possibly the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard”.
