Posters on the other board were setting this complaint up the moment Biden withdrew. And they thought it was a win for them because they think she’s unpopular.

unreal.
it continues to be bonkers that this stuff is happening in real-time and has been for years but we've got people like HY2012 and the rest of that crew breathlessly calling us hysterical and assuring us that trump and co. won't do all of the things that they are literally doing.

It’s kinda sad that swiftboating needs an explanation. And by sad, I mean most people under 30 wouldn’t have any reason to know it. Getting old sucks.

Yep. Trump’s best stretches in the election have been when the attention has not been on him. Until now, anyway, when people are genuinely excited about Kamala.

Former Trump aide Stephen Miller spouts conspiracy theory about Kamala Harris and human trafficking
Stephen Miller, a former speechwriter for Donald Trump, falsely claimed the vice president is a human trafficker
www.salon.com
"Stephen Miller, a former Trump White House aide who now campaigns against "anti-white" discrimination, leveled a bizarre and false charge against Vice President Kamala Harrison Wednesday, telling MSNBC’s Ari Melber that she was effectively leading a child trafficking ring.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the number one traffickers of children, girls, into sex slavery on planet Earth. How many people are in jail for that?” Miller said with a raised voice, expressing his frustration with the number of “innocent” Republicans and Trump supporters he felt were unjustly put in jail — a reference to the hundreds of people convicted for assaulting police and the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Miller, who was a senior policy advisor and White House director of speech-writing under President Donald Trump, made the assertion when asked about his own rule in trying to subvert the 2020 election. ..."

That is Q-Anon messaging -- stuff that Mike Flynn is injecting into the veins of the most insane MAGA-Qs.

THIS is a story that should deserve more attention -- Trump re-truths genuine LUNATICS over at Truth Social, resulting in the GOP Candidate and former POTUS posting insane stuff, yes, but also promoting posters who post a LOT of darker stuff that presumably Trump is seeing but deciding yeah, maybe THAT is too much for me to re-post.
This story focuses on Patriot4Life, who has shown up in a number of the Trump Truth Social re-posts I've shared over the last few years. TO BE CLEAR, Trump did NOT re-post the particular post shared in the article below, but he has re-posted a lot of other stuff by this account, giving it a lot more viewers than it would likely otherwise enjoy for its content.
----
"Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly interacted with the Truth Social account “Patriot4Life,” including thanking them and “retruthing” them. Patriot4Life has repeatedly promoted calls for political killings, including recently retruthing an image calling for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz to be killed.
Trump has interacted with Patriot4Life ("@1776WeThePeople1776") in at least 70 instances on his social media platform. Those interactions include thanking the account for a pro-Trump message, retruthing the account’s call to jail lawmakers, retruthing what seemed to be an AI image of Trump praying with six fingers, promoting the account’s claim that “God has chosen” Trump, and retruthing the account’s attacks on Harris and Walz, including an image portraying Harris with a dung beetle body and a darkened face.
Trump also recently retruthed QAnon-themed posts from Patriot4Life. (Media Matters has documented how Trump has promoted QAnon material on Truth Social dozens of times.)
Any Trump follower that sees Trump’s repeat promotions and then visits that account would likely see exhortations for political violence against Trump’s opponents.

Yes - and Trump recently retweeted another graphic with the phrase "Where we go one, we go all," another QAnon slogan.Former Trump aide Stephen Miller spouts conspiracy theory about Kamala Harris and human trafficking

More than one, actually, the Q-stuff is more strategically located in some of the stuff he re-posts.
This a real serious danger. What can be done to counter this before the election?

White trash that never served insulting a veteran. How typical of the same people who make up MAGA today.

'2016 all over again': MSNBC host unloads on media for failing to fact-check Trump
MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell laid into news outlets on his show Thursday night, comparing their collective failure to call out Donald Trump's falsehoods to 2016."It was 2016 all over again, today," he told his viewers.

Just a vivid reminder, for those who needed it, that all this crap didn't start with Trump. He certainly has amplified and escalated it to a whole new level, but guys like Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh and Roger Ailes were doing very ugly, very divisive things long before Trump came along in 2016. In a very real sense Trump is simply the end product of a political monster that they've been building for a long, long time.

They were always going to do that. The GOP exists now simply to obstruct. They offer nothing other than trying to block what Democrats try to do. They've so thoroughly convinced their voters that Dems are satanic that that's all they have to do in order to get elected. They're lazy cowards with nothing to offer. No new ideas. Same old shit. The migrant caravans are right around the corner, I'm sure.
And it's an indictment (one of thousands) on pub voters that that's all they have to do to earn votes. Being a GOP politician is one of the easiest jobs I can think of at the moment.
