Minnesota in winter

 

Has Lindsey Graham (him again) finally convinced Trump to TACO over Minnesota? I suppose we´re about to find out.

Probably not a good look for the Donald that he can´t even take on Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar...

An uncomfortable truth

Well, isn´t this special

"Genocide Josh"

 

A recent poll in Pennsylvania suggests that Kamala Harris may have lost the battleground state due to her decision *not* to make Josh Shapiro her running mate. 

Maybe.

But would it have helped the Democrats overall to have the pro-Israeli Jew Shapiro as their VP nominee? They might have lost Michigan even faster than they actually did. Even more "progressive leftists" might have stayed away from the elections altogether. Conversely, *really* hardcore supporters of Israel, Jew and Gentile alike, would still have found Trump more to their liking. 

So I´m not entirely convinced.

Konstigheter

 

- Konstig, vaddå konstig? 

Det låter...konstigt...men att döma av den Trump-vänliga högersajten Breitbart News så är republikanerna störda över att Trump och särskilt Vance kallas "konstiga". Antagligen för att Vance faktiskt är konstig. Jag menar, killen ser ut som en jävla tomtenisse. Kanske förstår Breitbart detta och det är därför de tar åt sig. Så vitt jag vet var det också mot Vance som epitetet "weird" först användes. Nu har det tydligen utsträckts till Trump också. 

Kommer taktiken att fungera? Tja, Breibart har svarat med att kalla Tim Walz...gissa vad...konstig. För *lite* konstigt är det väl att Walz som guvernör i Minnesota kommenderade att gratis tamponger skulle delas ut på samtliga skoltoaletter i delstaten. Inklusive pojkarnas toaletter. Eftersom vissa pojkar...menstruerar.

Med andra ord: Walz är inte en präriepopulist, utan ett sedvanligt Woke-knäppo.

Den amerikanska valrörelsen 2020 var nog den konstigaste hittills. Eller dittills. Kanske kommer 2024 att bli ännu märkligare... 

Harris´ ordkrig som kan knäcka Trump

On the campaign trail

 

Me, trying to sit out the POTUS elections

The election campaign in the US is heating up. Links below are to the pro-Trump Breitbart News site. Some cynical comments...

Even if the allegations against Walz about Chinese ties are true, I´m pretty sure most American politicians did pretty much the same thing until, say, 10 years ago. So the only difference would be that Walz was stupid enough to continue in the same vein throughout the Trump years. 

As for pro-Palestinian activists not voting for Kamala Harris...LOL. What are the chances? So probably a nothingburger. But sure, the slogan "Kamala, you can´t hide, we won´t vote for genocide" is almost bizarrely brilliant. I mean, who´s behind it? The Revolutionary Communist Party? The Revolutionary Workers League? Dude!

The polling results from Pennsylvania (an important swing state) are strange. Note that voters under 40 prefer Trump with a 18-point margin! Less surprising, perhaps, is that atheists overwhelmingly (84%) support Harris. If Robert F Kennedy Jr is included in the polls, Trump and Harris are tied at 47% each of the total Pennsylvanian vote. So perhaps RFK Jr can still play a role in the November elections? Or at least create havoc!

And it´s only August. Still awaiting the October surprise with much fear and trembling...

Squareheads

Why is politics about this kind of shit in 2024? For the record, I don´t think free tampons are necessarily a bad idea, but...well, read the rest of the story. But you know already.

Why is everyone complaining about Tim Walz´ latest statements about trans-gender people? As a newly minted neo-Shachtmanite, I absolutely support the right of trans-gender people to fight the Viet Cong, the Pathet Lao and the Khmer Rouge in China, Indo-China, Coke-in-China or whatever the gooks call their damn jungles this ghost festival. Indeed, not only the right but the downright *duty* to do so. Why the heck the grandchildren of the hippie draft-dodgers would want to serve beats me too, but the times they are a´changing.   

I speak in love

 

Sheikh Hassina, no relation to US elections!

Why did Kamala Harris pick Walz rather than Shapiro to be her running mate? 

Because Jews and "asshole" Pennsylvanians will vote Democrat even if she picks Walz. However, Muslims, Arabs and Antifas will *not* vote Democrat if she picks Shapiro. So Walz it is.

Simple as.
