Miller appeared on Fox News on Sunday, where he went off on a rant about the Democratic votes were thrown away as the party rallies around Vice President Kamala Harris.

“They held a primary. They had ballots. They filled out circles!” Miller shouted on Fox News. “They went to the voting booths. They spent money on advertisements!”

Still yelling, Miller says that Republicans also spent money running against Biden.

    That’s because they had their whole “old man bad” thing planned out for the next 4 months.

    Nazi rhetoric falls apart when you take away the boogie man. No sleepy Joe, no laptop or emails or some bullshit. They have to come up with something new. He is scared, because they are incapable of talking about actual issues.

      More than that, as fucking tepid a choice as Kamala Harris is to me, I have almost no doubt in my mind she can kick Donald’s ass at a debate. She is an older, half-african-american-half-asian-american woman – yeah, my money says she can both out-sass and out-maneuver him. That’s gonna be a show worth watching (and the entire country will be) so be ready for September 10th. We gon’ see some shit.

        That’s assuming the debate actually happens… I think it’s more likely than not that Trump will try to weasel out of a debate with Harris — probably blaming some bullshit concerns about venue security or something like that in order to milk his shooting for all it’s worth.

          No chance he backs out of the debate. He loves the audience, knows backing out would look weak, and he’s not going to have the polling lead he’d have had against Biden.

      Eh, they have a file on everyone, it’s not like there’s noting they can use to criticise Harris with. They’ll probably reuse half the Obama playbook as well (birth certificate, use a dark filter on all images of her, something about terrorist parents, …). I have no doubts they can start spreading a bunch of fresh lies between now and November.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they started calling her a “crooked cop” or something. Based on the same zero evidence they’ve given for calling Joe crooked.

    Well, you know, if you guys had spent that money talking about how you were going to “make America great again” instead of on slinging mud at Joe Biden, none of it would have been wasted and you’d be ahead of the curve, wouldn’t you? Maybe instead of crying like a little removed, you start figuring out how you’re going to sell your miserable agenda to the American people?

      They are trying very hard not to mention Project 2025 (bullet points). They’re even saying they won’t really do that stuff… while standing with the authors. They know most Americans are against their stuff, so they talk about anything OTHER than their plan to: eliminate the Department of Education, cut and overhaul Medicaid, roll back the recent law banning surprise medical billing, and revoke FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, and so many other horrible things. Instead, they’re gonna mispronounce Kamala’s name and make fun of her laugh.

      Modern conservative malice is matched only by modern conservative ineptitude.

      There isn’t a way to reject all facts and data about the world you don’t like and still remain competent. You can’t send someone to the moon by rage tweeting that NASA shouldn’t exist and then building a giant slingshot because it feels like the right way to do it.

    Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,

    Was singing! Without any presents at all!

    He HADN’T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME!

    Somehow or other, it came just the same!

    And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,

    Stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?

    'It came without ribbons! It came without tags!

    It came without packages, boxes or bags!’

    Guys like Miller can’t understand the idea of self-sacrifice if there’s no money or personal gain to be had, later. He’s frustrated because he can’t figure out the “angle” and it’s no more complicated than for the good of the nation. And that’s a completely alien idea to him.
