It's amazing when you think about how many people still consider Covid to have been overblown or a hoax. Even disregarding that fact that we all lived through it just a few years back, what kind of cognitive dissonance does it take to just ignore the fact that over 1 million people died from this? I know people who have had personal friends, relatives, coworkers etc. die and they still dismiss it as being not that big of a deal.

Trump’s Trial Is Already Wreaking Havoc on His Campaign

quote:

Even before Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York began, it was clear that the lengthy and demanding proceedings would fundamentally change his 2024 campaign.

But it only took a few days to show that Trump’s hush money trial will be even more damaging, more constraining, and more significant than anyone expected.

The headlines alone told the story. During the trial’s opening week, for instance, Trump arguably drew the most attention for appearing to fall asleep in the courtroom.

On Tuesday, The Daily Beast reported he was forced to decline an appearance at a big-money fundraiser in Texas for the House GOP because of the trial schedule, an early glimpse at just how much his party leadership will be limited.

And what did happen in court indicated that the trial could drag on even longer than the initial expectation of a two-month timeline—making stunts like Trump’s visit to a Harlem bodega on Tuesday even more likely as the campaign trail sits largely out of reach.
Taken together, Republicans are left with little more than stopgap solutions and, in some cases, a humbling realization of what’s to come—given that the embarrassing details of his alleged plot to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels are yet to emerge.
“I had sort of underestimated just the giant time-suck this is going to be for him as a candidate,” Alex Conant, a GOP strategist and a top aide on Marco Rubio’s 2016 campaign told The Daily Beast.
Crucially, it’s not just time, but money, being left on the table as the hush money case drags on.
“He could be raising six, seven figures pretty regularly at major-dollar events around the country at this point,” Conant said. “That’s literally what Biden is doing. So Trump’s fundraisers are probably frustrated that because he’s in New York, they can’t schedule that stuff.”

In searching for a silver lining, Trump operatives are resorting to leaning heavily on the old adage that all publicity is good publicity.

As another Trump-aligned GOP strategist put it, at least “he’s getting more earned media than Biden. It’s just wall-to-wall coverage of Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.”

Yet the Biden campaign doesn’t want to be out front every day competing with Trump for eyeballs over the trial. Instead, the Biden team is looking to silently troll Trump by avoiding direct mentions of the case in favor of blitzing the battleground states to strike a contrast with his record on issues like taxes and abortion.

The split screen highlights what Trump’s biggest loss may ultimately be whenever the trial ends.
“The most valuable commodity in any campaign is the candidate’s time,” Conant said. “It’s the only thing you can’t get more of. And the fact that he’s going to have to spend weeks in the courtroom is time his campaign isn’t going to get back.”

The Trump campaign did not return a request for comment.

After months of holding a lead against Biden in national and battleground state polling—something Trump didn’t enjoy during his runs in 2016 or 2020—the polls have tightened, and Republicans are still coming to grips with how constrained Trump will be for at least the next six to eight weeks, or longer.
Now that the Manhattan trial is underway, Trumpworld is left looking for makeshift alternatives and desperately waiting for something—the prosecution, the optics, anything—to turn public opinion against Democrats. The strategy turns on a cynical assumption: that voters will believe the prosecution from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is designed to harm Trump and has the blessing of Biden and Democratic leaders.
“We’re only at day three now, and I think this is gonna have a backfiring effect on Democrats, I really do,” the Trumpworld consultant insisted. “They are interfering with Trump’s ability to get on his plane and go to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia.”

Although sources around the Trump campaign said losing ground on fundraising is their biggest concern with the trial, they tried to downplay just how bad the situation could get as the former president continues to get badly outraised by Biden and siphons much of his haul to pay his legal bills.

There’s also a lingering worry that Trump’s courthouse steps routine, a core way of communicating during the trial, will become stale. But the Trump-aligned strategist said they’re not worried about that until “you guys”—meaning the political press—stop covering it so closely.

“I don’t think people are gonna get bored of it, man,” the strategist said. “People never know what he’s gonna fuckin’ say.”

Aside from relying on media coverage of the trial to boost small-dollar fundraising—a copy-and-paste strategy from Trump’s civil cases during the GOP primary—the campaign is also looking at ways to make the most out of the fundraising circuit around New York City during the trial.

“He’s gonna be right here in New York, and there’s a lot of big money here. I’ve also heard rumors of fundraisers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, too,” the Trump-aligned strategist said.

For the Wednesday and weekend portions of the week when Trump won’t have to be in court, the radius broadens slightly, and he could easily hit rallies in nearby swing states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina, the strategist said. Trump is using his weekend trial break to travel to Wilmington, North Carolina, for a rally on Saturday night.

Early on Friday morning, the Trump campaign announced a late addition to the schedule: a rally in New Jersey on Saturday before he heads down to North Carolina.

Conant likened Trump’s scheduling quandaries to those of a sitting senator running for the presidency. It’s a tradeoff other presidential campaigns have had to deal with before, but unlike missing votes in the Senate, Trump can’t choose to skip court.

“It’s still something every senator who runs for president is challenged by,” Conant said, “and a lot of ’em end up skipping a lot of the votes because your time on the campaign trail is just so valuable.”

Lol most of them would probably hate you.

the founders regarded the country largely as a business venture. the country was settled, mostly, by rich failsons hoping to stake out a future who created a country designed to make a profit while keeping the company strong. millions of people voted for a failed businessman to get put in charge of this business and shockingly, he failed at doing that correctly.
the first thing any of the founding fathers would ask would be "but how does that benefit the country?" to which chuds would reply "who gives a poo poo?"

america is a bunch of small countries wearing a federal coat to look like a big country, like a bunch of babies in a trenchcoat trying to get into an r-rated movie.
the problem is that a bunch of those babies are absolutely convinced that if they just cast off the trenchcoat they'd be welcome into the movie with the other big countries when, in fact, they'd just be a pile of dead baby bones in a trenchcoat.

Something about Lara Trump making... ahem... music... is that a bet nearly 0% of the people who bought it bought the music. They bought the idea, the person, the logo/brand. There's absolutely no way in the history of ever that anyone buys her music because that robot-sounding pandering is good music. I've genuinely heard more convincing music out of AI generation sites. That pisses the musician side of myself off so dang much. The "read my last name and then hand me your money" poo poo is such human filth.

Because what's the alternative? There's no power sharing agreement in place. You'll have to reorder the House chairs. Jefferies isn't going to Speaker without a clear majority. And you now hold all the power without having the gavel. It's a literal no lose situation.

They've effectively been able to get him to pass their agenda. But if we're funded for the rest of the year and have enough foreign aid for the rest of the year, he is no longer needed.

I think more funding has to pass though in a couple months to avoid a shutdown

It's a election year and the speaker is responsible for fundraising. Plus they may get someone wholl.do crazy poo poo that'll turn out voters like a national abortion ban or whatever.

I'd argue that the US Founding Fathers really were some of the more forward-thinking people of their time, even if that isn't saying much. A massive empire losing a war to hold onto colonies, and those colonies later establishing a government based on progressive(for the time) ideals, really is kind of a big deal in history. But they were also of their time - they have all the flaws in their thinking that any wealthy white man back then would have had. There's a weird sense of pride in winning a war for ideas that were progressive 250 years ago, and conservatives use that pride as moral cover when they want to turn back the clock, or stall newer ideas. It shouldn't work, but somehow it does.
