Said by arguably the weirdest person on that stage.

[–] shreddingitlater@hexbear.net 61 points 3 months ago

Biden outdated top-cop Clinton overrated paid-for-by-kamala-harris long have we waited power-stride Kamala activated jokermala

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 59 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You know she'd be saying that manically with that weird smile and laugh.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

She'd have to do it Stavvy-style for something like that to land. Let's be real - a lib could never handle the crowd work like he can. If I'm keeping it a buck, I don't know if she could get through it without doing some body shaming. Calling him weird isn't the sure-fire win they think it is.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What about subtle, backhanded negging? "That's a very nice tie, Mr. Trump. Did you tie that yourself?" ... "Oh, don't worry, you'll get better at it. Some day."

...except if Kamala tried to spit out that one-liner, it would sound like it was fed through ChatGPT to fluff the word count until it could be used as a subclause within a EULA.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

First of all, EULA michael-laugh

I also think subtlety in front of the big, big crowd in front of the big wet boy would be tough. He has the home field advantage because he knows how Americans feel. He can read the room. So while you're trying to be clever, he hits you with something like "didn't you help with Ukraine?"

If it were me I'm betting the house, referencing They Not Like Us, and playing that Epstein angle like it's a drum during a Metallica concert.

‘Cackling Kamala thinks I’m weird because I support a strong America’ crowd boos Kamala shrinks into a corncob

[–] xapr@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

Oof, "Cackling Kamala"! I was earlier wondering what nickname Trump would pick for her as he has a talent for picking suitably negative nicknames for his opponents. Cackling Kamala may be a winner.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 58 points 3 months ago (1 children)

she sees what can be, unburdened by what has been

[–] worlds_okayest_mech_pilot@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm quite scared by the fact that these memes haven't gotten old for me yet. Starting to think I'm not existing in the context. kamala-coconut-tree

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

As long as she doesn't acknowledge the memes they'll stay fresh I think. Someone on her campaign is gonna fuck it up tho

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 51 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Me Trump sir with all due respect the vibes are off ok?

[–] regul@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They legit are tho. Vibes have been off for arguably centuries.

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

ever since that one fish decided to walk

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

That fucking bastard, now I have to pay rent

[–] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 44 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Kamala demolishes Trump by calling him the N-word.

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I know she can say it but imagining her saying it doesnt feel right

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

Imagine her saying it while doing an impression of her mother instead of as herself saying it.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Same with Obama. Just wouldn't sound right lmao

[–] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can hear Obama say it in his Dreams From My Father audio book. Very weird.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it occurred to me not long after I wrote that comment that he's been speaking publicly long enough that he's probably said it somewhere that someone could link lol

[–] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's like that 30 Rock bit where Toofer the Harvard-educated black writer tries saying it to Tracy Jordan, and it sounds so off that Tracy reports him to Human Resources.

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm imagining Jan 6th, 2025... Chuds try to do it again, but she personally arrests each chud, then goes after Trump...

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago (2 children)

you are getting dangerously close to the lib coomer-brain kamala dommy mommy posting im warning you

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

She lines up each of the ~~gawping, unguided tour-goers~~ insurrectionists in front of a wall, blindfolded, and tells each one "your fired" before sending them off to be indentured servants for UNICOR.

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

A man has got to shitpost

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

This whole Biden saga has been part of a plan to usurp media attention from the RNC convention. Trust the Qoconut.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

You know this reminds me

Biden and Trump agreed to 2 debates, but since Biden is no longer in the running, do we think she picks up round 2 (assuming she is the nominee, of course)? Or does she have more than half an ounce of sense?

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think Kamala doesn't have a choice. She has to debate him to get the exposure and make her candidacy viable.

I think if she debates Trump she's going to get her ass handed to her.

She would make zero sense but she could talk faster. This is called the debate-me-debate-me effect and works on many burgerlanders.

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If she can basically do the same thing Biden tried, which was call Trump out for lieing over and over again, except do it loudly and coherently -- coherently enough as in the words are not slurring and whispered into the microphone -- then I think it'll go well for her

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

No. Biden agreed to two debates and as an Irishman needs to hold true to his word and debate Trump despite no longer running.

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is like exactly what we would have come up with.

[–] I_CAST_BEAM_OF_BATS_I_CAST_BOLT_OF_BATS@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and? Does a website filled with operators each possessing the political acumen of the entire democratic party consultancy put the fear of God into your liberal ass?

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

Excuse me you're speaking to the only leftist on the site

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

T-minus 6 days till official Kamala campaign slogan:

"Trump got a weird case why is he around?"

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

Finally a presidential candidate who isn't afraid to look drugged up.

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I might be misremembering Hillary's reaction, but didn't she just sort of act like a dog having a thermometer jammed up its ass? I think saying anything at all is probably a real improvement.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Kamala please go on Chapo
