Of course it was Staged .

Trump doesn't work at Macca's .

He always wears a Red tie and I bet likes a Hamberger , fries and coke , though .

More than half of the US agrees with him , Perhaps ( we WILL find out ) .

Bruh, it was always gonna be staged to some extent, but shutting the whole joint down and not even having real customers? Saying you wouldn't vote for Trump but continuing to run the line that all his bullshit is "baked in" or that his base to don't care makes you look like a simp at best, or a a full MAGAT that won't cop to it at worst. Well, maybe not worst. It can always run deeper than what you write I guess. Not that you seem to have a filter.

Well done mate , spotting how Low the Democrats have gone !

this is what it is about popd

and why so many have turned on the democrats

it is about the very basis of our democracies and what has made them work...

the dems are so irrationally triggered they are willing to throw the baby out with the bath water

it's bigger than trump, but for the deranged... It's all about trump...

portraying dissidents as MAGA dumb cultists is dumb

dissidence is actually a very left quality

it's ALL about how far the democrats have fallen

a point even rita the eta eater has had to accept...

Thanks Syp,

poor choice of metaphor by me there.
@Roady might be surprised you are a disaffected leftie, but I've read your stuff for years, I think I understand where you sit.
Just wondered whether your disappointment was enough to tip you to vote Trump.
Don't know if there are too many October surprises left though, but post election, November to January's inauguration, is going to be a shit show unless someone wins it definitively.

you really think the black dudes voting for trump - of which there are now so many - npr are now doing specials on them... are dumb white christian nationalist cultists?

you really think all the former democrats, filling the void of the never trumper republicans, are dumb MAGA cultists?

Hey Hiccup

Trump is a Showman and most of his appearances are Stage Managed to the ninth degree , Customers and All !

He seems to be genuinely enjoying the Event , as do the others he is interacting with .

An Event that happens usually , a dime in a dozen and makes little difference .

Like kissing a baby .

Kamala hasn't done many Town Hall's .

The 1 she did with Undecided Latino Voters was also Stage managed .

The Undecided voters , Customers if U like , were Kamala Voters .

The WHOLE Emotion of the love In , was NOT Genuine .

Cringeworthy .

I'm wondering how big is the world wide buyers remorse thingie going with Tesla drivers and battery owners, man, how to run a series of companies by totally alienating a massive % of his current and future customers, Musk is a total tosser and that is before we start talking about his support for Trump!

Hello Smiley

I thought U would be an EV Man and like Musk .

As he said , Ford and Tesla are the only 2 US Car companies to not go into bankruptcy .

I think he is selling a lemon and there will be buyers remorse , but with 386000 sold in the Last Q , it doesn't seem to be happening ( last 2 Q's have been down yoy but share price Up in last 6 months ) .

Unlike Zuckerberg , X is not Bowing 2 political pressure and Censoring as a Business Model C .
( no idea if X is making money ) .

Just saw Musks X Team make the best Catch EVER , First GO !

They sure have a different Business and Management Model , 2 NASA !

X Space dominates Space ATM .

Compared to Zucker , Musk is a Renaissance Man , 4 sure !

For HIM 2 pull ALL this ON The Line , shows US ALL , how serious THIS Election really is .

This is NOT a Normal US Election !

Musk may be an innovative businessman but comes across as trifle unhinged in some of his public appearances and statements.

I'm not ready for an electric vehicle just yet but when the time comes it will not be a Tesla.

And now he's offering daily $1m prizes to Trump supporters. So the only way you can win is to buy your mate votes.

Just curious as to what the payback will be.

Trumps getting out and about with some unique publicity stunts, this one is at McDonalds cooking fries and serving customers at the drive through.

This shit was staged. lmfao

Apparently the store was closed which is no surprise, imagine word got out Trump was there it would be chaos and be a security risk.

Media i read said drive through customer's were vetted first as supporters but even then you would expect people and cars would be searched for guns etc.

Id expect they would do the same for any very high profile politician these days, but after two assassination attempts in less than six months, Trumps security protocol's would be even more strict.

Please, they all do it. You need to vet the guests, do background checks etc..Kamala did the same in that Pennsylvania restaurant just recently. This is a normal process.

Not sure how that shows a lack of thinking capacity there, fella. As for using "woke mob" without irony, well, that's never not gonna be laughable.

Nihilistic? Am I the one saying that the potential next leader of the free world should get a pass for his continued and unceasing displays of rampant and egregious fuckwittery because it's already "baked in" to his base, as you say, and also baked into you it would sadly seem? That sounds a teensy bit like nihilism to me, sport. No, I'm saying Kamala is clearly the better choice, but if she gets in, she should also have her feet held to the coals and held accountable for whatever it is that she fucks up, and we can start with Israel.

I'm not even sure why you want to Trumpy to win tbh, despite you using half of Australia's bandwidth to defend him and shit on Harris. You're a contrarian for the sake of it? You hate women? You also have a combover and are a compulsive liar? I get it, mate. You want to see a shake up in the ingrained American political system, and you'd be a fool not to. You'd also be a fool to cut off your nose to spite your face by backing DJT, and by extension, JD Vance, a much more dangerous and cunning proposition. Yeah, yeah, you said you wouldn't vote for Trump if you could, but we all know that you would, don't we.

Kamala calls Trump Weak

[Factcheck] President's Nuclear Football weighs 20kg or 100 big macs

Just 1 big Mac weighs in at whopping 200gms...Way too massive for a Girlie Presidential Candidate!
Make Believe Maccas Trainee Kamala was restricted to Freedom fries > Couldn't handle a burger!
e harmony envoy {Intervention} ...that's a mighty powerful allegation tbb...
Maccas "Warns Staff & Customers never ever dare divulge whether Kamala has ever inhaled a Beef Pattie!"
https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/mcdonalds-kamala-employment-secr…

VP Kamala's Prez workout is 1kg Bottle of water in each hand/day = 10 Big Macs
Plus her fav Aussie Glock 17 Polling Booth Piece = 625gms
[Factcheck]
Kamala is not fit to be President maxing out @ 2.625 kg weight limit fails 20kg Nuke Football Test

She's been asked to stand in as Prez > Why not simply ask her to fetch the Nuke Footy? Huh!
Her Arms would drop off before she reaches the Arms Race starting Line!
She's so lazy and weak she skipped her own Democratic Candidate race..

Laziest weakest ever Prez Candidate Kamala claims Trump is too weak & needs a Physical Test.

[Factcheck]
Trump lifts 18x Golf Balls = 895gms/day + Clubs 9838gms = 53 Big Macs ( Half a Nuke Football/day)
Not quite enough...but!

Kamala ordered this sick old man Trump to lift'n'return 46 x 25kg Top secret Boxes (1,150 kgs) ASAP
https://images.axios.com/9HepTmPSMv2JW9mvFYfOeHG1oqY=/2023/06/09/168634…
We all know only one such super human is capable of lifting 1,150 kg of Top Secret Tooty Paper.
https://static.independent.co.uk/2022/12/15/16/newFile.jpg?quality=75&w…

Super Trump can actually handle 1125 kgs or 56 Nuke Footballs while Playing a round of Golf
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fgofsma…

Just saying to back up the claim sista...
Q: If Biden + Kamala are too weak to lift the Nuke Footy then in who is Lifting it & where is it!
It's a Legitimate Question & all know that Kamala would giggle and say yer kidding right?
Talk the Talk then prove you can secure & operate World's Nuke Footy Sista or step down now!
Matter of Strength! Seriously Sister? C'mon!

The one job that matters Most...
Does Kamala really wanna blow the whole deal wide open...Don't go there Sista!
Vote : For the only Commander-in-Chief that is capable of handling the 20kg Nuke Football!
All know who that is...might wanna play down who is fit to be president lil lady!

Why not Vote for a Me Too Nuclear Nerf Ball for Little Women Presidents!

Or simply mandate a 20kg Physical weight test for all presidential candidates...well durr!
Kamala wants another stage show...Why not a 20 kg Briefcase test up onto the desk...
World is waiting & watching Sis...You go Gurl!

you show a distinct lack of thinking capacity by grouping all donald trump supporters as a MAGA cult

when - for anyone who has been paying attention - it's clearly a coalition of disaffected and feeling deserted voters, from wide across the political spectrum...

you writing them all of as 'deplorables' is just plain fucking deplorable...

or plain fucking ignorant...

which is it?

kamala clearly ain't the better candidate

she's the candidate of the MIC...

endless wars

weaponisation of institutions against p political opponents

(thats literally authoritarianism!)

censorship

overzealous government control

open borders

and thus, the undermining of the working class - the left!

she's a neoliberal globalist stooge

the status quo

fuck that!

Speaking of JD Vance i thought maybe Trump had done the wrong thing picking him, but he has kind of grown on me, he can hold his own and he easily won that debate with Walz.

If Trump gets in and then there is situation like an assassination im sure he would be fine to take over the reigns.

The guy has some interesting life experience too, went to Yale, fought in Iraq, even wrote a best seller book that has become a movie, yet to watch it., (its based on his chid hood)

which even for that - it seems an expensive price to pay...

https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2024/10/us-election-and-asset-prices/

Basically, the flows suggesting it, according to them.

Gotta admit, I have felt there's no way Trump is winning this time around given how the last election was counted - but there's significant weight in all sorts of markets saying it's a possibility. The aftermath will be chaotic within US gov, geopolitics but markets at least seeming to think it will be good.

However rumours have it that if Donny wins then he has a position for Elon in the government cost cutting division . Elon is a bit annoyed at the amount of attention he attracts from the government that monitors what he does, even though he has hundreds of government contracts with space x .
