What the Trump Campaign Did to the WaPo Homepage During Kamala Harris' VP Speech Should Give You a Chuckle

Laugh or cry? Well, it’s more of a double-edged sword thing the Trump campaign did to The Washington Post, but the memories of this are quite fantastic. The campaign literally bought tons of ad space on the front page of the publication, so when Kamala HVrris formally accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president, it was all Trump ads on the homepage. It caused the Left to have a meltdown (via Fast Company):

Yet, as some noted, the lefty outrage over this is a bit overblown since the money spent on the ads will certainly be used to fund hit pieces against President Trump. Still, it provides an ‘own the libs’ moment that should be cherished. Erick Erickson got a nice chuckle out of it. It’s just one of the many ways the Trump team has gotten under the skin of liberals, which isn’t that hard to do given the Left has succumbed to full-blown derangement syndrome.

Perhaps it is worth it to troll the Leftists once, but I hope his campaign doesn’t give any more cash to the Compost.

Of course, it doesn't take much to send the snowflakes into meltdown.

The campaign announced it was doing this days ahead of the convention. It shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone who paid attention to any news except NYT, CNN, MSNBC.

I once met a special forces vet who, in Vietnam, went on missions along the HoChiMinh trail, to plant faulty “Chinese made” ammunition in VC and NVA depots or on corpses (knowing it would be picked up and recycled). Every 5th or 10th round would explode in the face of VC operating the weapon. So sure, they were giving them mostly good bullets in the bunch, but the planted ones had the desired effect.

Well, at least they’ll all be powered by renewable energy and electric trucks soon so that’s good right? LOL! What about the workers? We already know what “management” is required to do.

I didn’t see the WP deal, but YouTube had some embedded audio of biden talking all sorts of crazy things, and it would just come on in the background for about 15 seconds when you hit the home page. And a small “text radical to 88022” would pop up for a split second. Anyone else get this?

I don’t agree with this strategy at all.... neither Biden or Harris are radical leftists, they are status quo democrats. In fact, the radical leftists on the internet at present HATE them. Why are we making Biden/Harris more palatable to them?

Kamala Harris Sponsored Bill to FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports<>

24News ^ | 08-12-2020 |
Samantha Foster http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3873820/posts
Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would force public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams. . In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls,..

HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE Congressional DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT STUFF LIKE THIS and why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress
Democrats weren’t happy with his votes against abortion and on being the only democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports.
Those who live in Chicago already voted at their local public library. But in the reshaped 3rd Congressional district Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd in a district that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway Wards which were reliable Dan’s father William O Lipinski supporters. But since most had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to Gutieriez’s district. Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.
