She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge. 

Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.

Work has been interesting so far. Not many of the huge Trumpers are discussing it and they discuss every time he cuddles out a fart. Most are saying they didn't have the stomach to watch KuMALuh lie all night or the entire thing is rigged. There's been one comment that her earrings were secretly devices to feed her the answers.

The trucker I swamp for has swapped rhetoric from "Kamala laughs like a hyena/ Trump is fine" to declarations about how he doesn't care about politics and how maybe we should all just stop talking about it.

Very funny how fast that disengage happened.

Trumpets disengaging and not voting is probably the best we can hope for.

[-] greenskye@lemm.ee 45 points 2 months ago

My parents, who aren't hardcore trumpers but did vote for him last time aren't voting and I consider that a massive win

[-] Triasha@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

If they skip the election it is a huge win. Change takes time.

How does one 'swamp for' a trucker? What new devilry is this?

Old devilry. The same sort that has union truck drivers called "Teamsters" even though most of them have never been near a horse or mule.

I'm a Teamster ... and I'm a fucking school bus driver. When I signed up for the union I made a joke about getting a phone call at midnight to go down to the docks and break some kneecaps. The guy taking the forms un-ironically said "I wish we did that".

[-] Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Some Teamsters are wild man. One guy I rode with went on a whole thing about how he thought "Swamper" was such an outdated thing to call my position and I brought up the whole thing about how he wasn't driving horses either and he went on a 40 minute tyrade about how very dare I/ it's still called "horsepower" / proud history of the union....

Cocaine is one hell of a drug.

Ahhhhh. Thanks!

I doubt most of them watch it even when he was doing well. They just say they do and parrot whatever Fox tells them.

KuMALuh

To be fair, it's hard not to say it that way if you're a long time pro wrestling fan, lol

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Absolute dumbasses. They are a liability to you and your employer.

Any time you hear someone openly supporting Trump at work, make an anonymous report to HR. Make it everyone's problem.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
