Remember that part of The Return of the King (the book) that takes place up in a tower at Minas Morgul; the orcs have captured Frodo, and they fall out among themselves, leaving Frodo still alive and very few surviving orcs to challenge Sam when he shows up. Our orcs are fortunately not much better at getting along with each other than Professor Tolkien's fictional ones.

I would prefer the lone and level sands thing to the slouching toward Bethlehem thing -- but I'll settle for ANYTHING that is not a win for these chuds.
Didn't Turning point USA get awarded Trump's campaign ground game efforts? Hahahaha ol' Charlie will be gettin' on that whole knocking 'dem door bells as soon as he's finished his 3rd sauna.
It is, even though it shouldn't be. Elections are weird. The Elec toral College is especially weird. The Repub are bad at governing, but they're great at lying and cheating.
To be fair, lots of people are hurting and see nobody getting any help. Just meaningless numbers called "the economy" going up, but they know that it is now harder for them to put bread on the table. Economists and the politicians who accept the advice of economists are bad at understanding the difference between real lives and averaged numbers. Economists gladly give a prize to a society where a single person earned 1 million by fleecing $1000 from a thousand people than give the prize to the next town over where a thousand people did so well that everyone earned $100 more.
The first isn't a net profit, but the GDP went up by a million, while the second is a net profit of 0.1 million while the GDP only went up by 0.1 million.
Yep. I've been saying for a while that Democrats need to frame it as an economic 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 and averted disaster rather than telling people everything's great. Because for the average person it's not great. But it could have been so much worse--it would have been if Trump won in 2020 and would be if he wins now. Also only one candidate has a proposal to actually address price gouging. I don't think it's likely to go anywhere unless Democrats win a trifecta in November, but Harris should really be emphasizing that this is what's driving economic frustration rather than the policies of the current administration.

*adjusts nerd glasses* AHEM! That was in the tower of Cirith Ungol, not the great fortress of Minas Morgul!
The man who stored classified documents on a stage at his golf resort is bad at keeping campaign secrets? WHO THE FUCK COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS
wait, what part of today's events is this about?
Not tracking that close
We don't know yet
Ta, Evan.
What lollapaLOSERS!
How do you know there's no gawd? Creatures like Charlie Kirk are multi-millionaires and they got there by being hateful morons.
Kamala's presidency is going to be great for his hate-mongering business model.
I've given up on the notion that SkyDaddy is there to fix my problems and give me what I ask for.
This is how the campaign ends,
This is how the campaign ends,
This is how the campaign ends,
Not with a win but a whimper.

There sure is a lot of money in being a tool of the fash.....
That's because they have a lot of superstitious and stupid followers. Easy to fool and to bilk.
So I guess they're going to fire PAB?
That guy leaks in so many ways, and most of them pretty gross.
Is it true that in meetings everyone wears plastic bags over their heads with holes cut out for the mouth?
Because of the whale juice (again)?

Sure, he's mad now, but I'll bet a dollar he votes for his master anyway.
Well der.
Hey Donnie! Look up! See the meteor?
Don't look up!

...and yet it's a tossup.
(It's not a tossup, but we need to act as if it is.)

Yeah, I'm expecting that the Texas Legislature will make voting for a Democrat illegal sometime between now and Election Day.
And convincing low-information voters that the GOP cares about them.

Preach fella.
So how many people do you think are working on the Trump campaign solely to amass notes for a killer book deal? I'm guessing a lot.
Two problems:
1) Reich-wing grifter books only sell when some billionaire pumps up the numbers by ordering a couple semi trailers of them and
2) There's already too many in the $1 book bin at Walmart
All that paper can be repurposed as cat litter. Fitting.
Not fair to the cats.
Mine would be glad to use it.
My Siamese: “I could shit on that”
It's time to release the new edition of "I Could Pee On That" famous feline poetry and philosophy text!
I’m guessing any unemployable lowlife with a significant Twitter account, money, and/or boobs that Donnie can lear at.
I can also appreciate significant boobs.

Well, at least he's not a *coastal* elite.
Not till after the Big One hits.
They didn't end the diktat with 'MAGA!!'. So, they better be working on their resumes.

Hot story in the works: a glob of mashed potatoes thwopping down onto prisoner Dump's aluminum meal tray at Leavenworth
Instant potatoes. Runny instant potatoes.

Fuck all these ass-clowns.
That's part of the problem. No one wants to.
Lol BINGO 🎯
If only somebody would, they might just possibly calm down a bit.
Rosy Palm and her Four Fingers at best.
Four fingers? That must be the upper-class fap, with pinky extended.
But I wouldn't know.
