When you think about it shows how much the media just builds narratives. Yes he’s a convicted criminal but did you hear the guy not even running misspoke?

Ok it's about way past time for the DNC to tell Bill to sit things out, and it's not only because of this.

Ok I don't understand the context here at all? What did Joe say?


“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden was initially quoted as saying on Tuesday, prompting Republican backlash.

The White House later released a transcript which included an apostrophe, and said the president was talking about the words of Trump rally comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, and not tens of millions of Trump supporters.

"The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump's] supporter’s… his demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American," the transcript reads.

I'm sorry but it's hilarious to see the f*ck your feelings crowd who has no problem saying all this racist, nasty sh*t about minorities and LGBTQ people clutching their pearls after the guy they've been saying "Let's Go Brandon!" to the last 4 years tells them that they're garbage.

If you watched the World Series last night like I did, you were bombarded with endless Trump campaign commercials that were absolutely racist and bigoted non stop.

F*ck them

He can think it, but he shouldn't say it.

a) The president is the president for the whole country, not for his party. You know...don't act like Trump.

b) Harris is running for president, not Biden. Biden injected himself into the campaign, only in a stupid, f*cked up way. It's beyond ret*rded.

c) I get he was trying to say something like "Any of Trump's followers who appreciate racist jokes are the garbage" but he's too addled to communicate correctly. Someone should have talked him out of it, taken the script from his hands, whatever.

d) Harris and the democrats were occupying the moral high ground and the negative story was dominating the news cycle; then Biden undid that. Dumb as f*ck.

*The only possible good thing is that while trump leans in the "garbage man" thing to "own the libs", it's a reminder of the stupid event/comedian (that his campaign vetted, to include the entire routine), so I guess there's that.
Any benefit of that might be offset by Trump using this to invigorate his base and getting a few thousand more voters out.
In an election where some states might get decided by a less than 10,000 votes, not the brightest idea.

Then you got Wild Bill Clinton alienating muslims in the largest muslim population state, Michigan. Awesome move. Watch Trump win Michigan.

Stock market is super red today, which can't be good for Kamala. I know very few probably base their votes on the market. But this will be a tight race and everything matters. If the market continues this way for the next few days, it might encourage more people to go out and vote for Trump on Super Tuesday in key swing states.

The VIX has elevated to 23 against which usually means mild fear in the market. +30 is when people start to get really fearful

CNN has the fear & greed index in the middle:
https://edition.cnn.com/markets/fear-and-greed

It's probably a good thing for Kamala that this just started end of the month. So most people probably already viewed their monthly 401k summaries.

Oil and gas. Oil sitting around 70. This is actually lower before the Iran-Israel escalations prices. I didn't see that coming. So this is a great thing for Kamala. For now... who knows what is going to happen. But if you are team Kamala, you have to feel good about gas being around $3 a gallon and not +$5 like many were predicting for the month of October.

Everybody here knows my opinion on this conflict.

But from a campaign analysis, I really don't know what the goal of Clinton was here. This just did more harm than good, and it's right before the election.

I agree that he shouldn't have said it but I'll be honest with you, Trump and his cult have been degrading Americans and this country for almost a decade now and for me personally, I'm glad to see the President of the United States actually stand up for American citizens who are on the receiving end of this. Because no one else was going to do it.

Why is it that Biden and Harris have to be cordial and perfect with these people? If someone who was leaning Dem votes for Trump or stays home because Biden told these sh*theads what they are, they probably weren't voting for Harris anyway.

I'm sick of the double standards. Ohh Biden called MAGAs garbage. Trump literally said Haitans eat cats and dogs. You don't fight nazis with kindness and appeasement. Dems actually gained ground when Harris and Walz started fighting back. The time to worry about decorum ended on January 6th 2021 when these guys showed their asses.

Regarding Bill...he needs to be shunned from the party because he's a sexual predator on top of saying something idiotic now.

Votes from who?

I guarantee anyone offended by this weren't voting for Harris to begin with.

Trump calls Latinos vermin literally every week yet I don't hear any of this talk when he does it. It's always crickets.

This is concern trolling at its finest

The pearl clutching over Biden is literally proving Michelle Obama's point that she made last week. Trump can drop the n word on TV tonight and no one cares but let Kamala cackle a bit too loud and all of a sudden everyone's ass holes start clenching.

Again. The double standards.

Trump literally confirmed that he and Elon plan to implement actions to crash the economy on purpose and inflict pain on all Americans who can't survive an economic downturn. Literally all of us.

Yet we're here saying Harris will lose votes now because Biden called MAGAs trash for their racist and hateful behavior?
