Harris is a POS, he was touting his status as a doctor, telling people it was all overblown and not to wear masks.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

And yet here in Ohio, Amy Acton (an actual doctor who was the head of the states medical department during COVID) is getting raked over the coals for every trivial thing about her mIsHaNdLiNg of the states COVID response...by the people who said COVID was bullshit

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

A friends kid has been seeing those commercials and told her mom recently “Amy Acton drinks drugs.”

So we’ve been having a laugh at that for a while.

Amy Acton eats foods. Amy Acton walks dogs. Amy Acton blinks too loud. Etc.

maga has always tried to make it seem like their views and policies are reasonable and both sides deserve equal weight. It's a step on the way to critical thinking but they never reach it. The next step is analyze the outcomes and data and causes to come to an informed and accurate conclusion. The maga pointed at all the wrong stuff instead of the real blame, the tariffs and the war for all the higher prices. What a sick excuse to want more pollution for people in the areas near data centers and industrial areas. We deserve cleaner air, land and water, not worse, not regression. The maga way is unacceptable to healthy humanity. Do better!

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sounds like he had pre written talking points about fuel prices before the iran war started, and he was like fuck it I'm not going to change them!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 256 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (19 children)

Everybody needs to see that second video, where he demands that only a specific reporter isn't allowed to record him because it's a two party state, and he doesn't give HER permission, even though it's a public forum, and there are a dozen other reporters recording. And then he demands an officer come over and arrest her for violating the two party recording law, before walking away, telling the other reporters to blame HER for not getting their uncomfortable questions answered.

What a coward, and a MAGA Traitor Pedophile.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 122 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I live in a two party consent state same as Maryland and the law only applies if you have an expectation of privacy. There is no expectation of privacy in a public place OR in a crowd of people.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 73 points 2 days ago

A crowd of people who are there for the sole purpose of RECORDING him!

he doesn’t give HER permission

Oh NOW you guys want to talk consent huh

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 55 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The funniest thing was when the reporter handed her camera to another person and asked them to record for her. She technically wasn't recording him.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 59 points 2 days ago

Yeah, that was awesome. He thinks he's getting one over on her, so she just says "Here you hold it" to her colleague, and then goes on asking her question, WHICH HE CLEARLY DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER!

Hilarious.

Thank you for doing what this article failed to do and describing that Twitter-hosted video. Hopefully it's uploaded to a better network.

It's almost astounding how much of a joke America is today

Today? We've been a joke, a dark, bad one, for longer than this. We've just dropped the pretense of being a serious nation and the macabre circus we are.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Yep, and we have not even begun changing course on being a joke. Its still full speed ahead. The republicans are still evil and clueless and the dems have changed nothing since Biden/Harris shat the bed and lost. Even out of power the Dems are delivering on their promise that "nothing will fundamentally change".

No politicians from either party ever mention the Mossad Epstein operation, or the Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese holocaust either. Not a single word in years.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

We got a few DSA candidates that won primaries, so assuming they win the general, it's not all doom and gloom.

“The facts are diesel prices have gone up. There’s no question about it. Why has it gone up? Because the Democrats have environmental regulations—” Harris tried to respond, only for audience members to groan, laugh, and shout at the Maryland first district congressman and chair of the right-wing House Freedom caucus.

....

Shortly after the debate, Harris, a staunch MAGA Republican who has avoided in-person town halls since 2023, tried to get a reporter arrested for recording his speech to a group of journalists. Harris incorrectly stated the reporter was breaking the law as she asked about his support for the war.

What a F'ing snowflake.

Wait wait hang on...are the rest of them like this? Can we just get brave journalists with integrity to ask them basic uncomfortable questions (and bring lawyers along!) and they'll just...throw a little tantrum , say a ton of stupid shit and just leave?

That's gotta be great for their campaigning.

Man. We gotta do this across the country! Imagine the excellent footage waiting to be mined for entertainment and democracy!

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You're describing The Daily Show (and its various offshoots) which, while wonderful, have not fixed the country for the last 30 years.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yup. The Daily Show preaches to the choir.

It works for the class of people they're campaigning to. They say that he's a great guy and those terrorist reporters are bullying them.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

He says: "Do you believe in the First Amendment?! Do you believe in my First Amendment right to express myself?!"

Hey asshole Republican, read the First Amendment please. Here I'll help you: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The people laughing at you aren't the government. They didn't even stop you physically from trying to utter your garbage. They just laughed at you. You stopped talking yourself. The First Amendment doesn't mean people have to listen to you, and it certianly doesn't shield you from being laughed at when you say stupid shit.

Mr. Republican, the fact that you don't know how the First Amendment to the US Constitution works should disqualify you from holding the office where your oath includes: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;"

How can you swear to support and defend the Constitution when you haven't even read the thing?

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They literally believe the first amendment is there to protect their feelings.

[–] benjirenji@slrpnk.net 19 points 2 days ago

From the article:

“This is the problem,” Harris complained to the crowd. “You all say you believe there’s a First Amendment, but only if you agree with you. You should let me finish the sentence, ma’am. You are rude!”

Quite literally thinks it's his first amendment right not to get shouted at when complete horse shit comes from his mouth.

[–] darkmarx@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Let's game this out. Assume what he was saying is true. Prices went up because Democrats have environmental regulations. Ok, cool. So the Democrats are protecting the environment? What an excellent endorsement.

When did prices shoot up? Just this year, right? Did the Democrats add these regulations this year then? Even though the House, Senate, and White House are controlled by Maga, somehow the party controlling all branches of the federal government was sidelined and wasn't able to stop it. Is he saying the Maga party, and by extension the President, is weak and feckless? Bold of him to say.

However, Occam's Razor tends to indicate he is full of crap, and that disel prices went up due to fallout from an unwinnable war, initiated by a feckless President, as a distraction from the allegations that he raped children.

Either way, good on the Democrats for protecting the environment, I suppose.

Republicans are enemies of America. At this point they have abandoned the constitution and are nothing more than pathetic Nazis. If you try to fuck the press you are an enemy of the constitution.

I saw the clips of that on Internet Today last night. Jesus Christ what an embarrassment to the species. I've seen 5 year olds with better reasoning skills.

[–] Stormy@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was it the guy who thought being embarrassed was an infringement on his constitutional rights?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 11 hours ago

No idea, but that sounds like it could have been any one of a large number of those pathetic losers.
