The treatment is that Dom is a "heel" who calls Rey a "deadbeat dad" and every time he raises the mic to his mouth to speak, the audience boos so loudly you can't hear him. Dom is part of the "Judgement Day" and recently got married irl. At the after party, one of the other members got everybody to boo when he went to say something to those gathered.

I think plenty of people knew what kind of con man he was back in 2016 just from his perpetual bankruptcies but really didn't care. And we already have plenty of people who mysteriously can't remember anything that happened from 2016-2020 especially negative that might reflect poorly on their current voting choice. Hell, I heard someone claiming that the Covid pandemic started under Obama and they were absolutely serious about it. The problem with Hillary is that there were plenty of haters back in the 90's when she was the First Lady that were happily hating away until the 2016 election. 20 years of nursing personal conspiracies and general misogyny led to plenty of people prepped to spread the worst of anything as 'facts' in the election lead-up. The e-mail server stuff was just slightly more serious than Hunter Biden's laptop full of dick pics merely because it did have communications on it that should have had a second pair of impersonal eyes monitoring it; but when you consider that plenty of the same people who wanted her publicly lynched for it were also using their private computers for government communications and the entire Drumpf clan continued to use personal items for so-called government business [ Drumpf especially was well known for refusing to use the encrypted WH cell phone because he liked his personal, easily compromised phone better ], it's literally just dick pics all over again. I'm looking forward to seeing if any of the political ads that seem to be running constantly around here start to skip mentioning their personal loyalty pledges to the golden fraud at every opportunity in order to separate themselves from being totally tied to the felony news. I'm also wondering if anyone is going to call him out for restarting the George Soros whistling when that sort of crap has been pulled back during the whole Palestinian genocide things going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Here’s an anecdotal account from my life, that tells me we should be worried. I have a loved one that voted for Biden in 2020 who has stated they will vote for Trump this year. They’re misinformed on many issues, but the misinformation campaign I’m sure they’ve gotten from social media is working. I’m trying to convince them otherwise, but we should not feel comfortable right now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are they are known well enough to survive not advertising on his programs but his dumb ass won't be able to keep the lights on if he ends up filling air space for extra cheap with things like Betty Crocker cake pans, Doggy Steps, and other great wonders of light-night As Seen On TV commercials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already making threats of violence and has useful idiots stating they'll only trust the results if they aren't 'rigged' which basically translates to anything that's not a landslide win for him. He's been telling people he doesn't really need their votes, he just needs them to watch the polling places to make sure there's no cheating [ aka anyone that isn't an inbred going into the polling place ]. There are still people out there that participated in Jan 6th and see nothing wrong with acting out again, especially when you have those same useful idiots calling the ones that have been locked up so far 'patriots' and 'political prisoners' as if they didn't actually do anything to warrant getting pitched in the poke. It doesn't matter if his bluster is the final actions of a giant diaper baby throwing a tantrum when there are people out there who will gladly think of themselves as foot soldiers in the Party of Guns & Ammo just looking for an excuse to act extra stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that in 2021. He'll disappear for a couple of months, Republicans will say they're ready to "move on," Trump will start making new demands and then they'll start following them because most of them only face real challenges in primaries. They're either cult members or sniveling pussies, they aren't going to change until Trump is either gone or somehow physically incapacitated from speaking or whatever he does on Truth Social. Also, he pretty much owns the RNC now. Unless they remove the people he installed, it's not going to change for a long time or until it is totally bankrupt. I'm sure it's just another ATM for him to make withdrawals from right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Debater131 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 This is a major reason why Trump, or whoever is the GOP nominee, has a very good chance at winning. On the issues people are really sliding toward the GOP. If it wasnt for Trump this race would likely be a cakewalk for the GOP. But, well, Trump. Biden opened the floodgates for illegal immigration, and people are sick of it. We just saw the same thing play out in Europe with their elections, and we look poised to do the same thing here.

Jman Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) https://www.newsweek.com/ohio-special-election-congress-results-1911576 Another special election swings blue, this time in Ohio because the GOP couldn’t act normal for five minutes. Only this one went 20 points towards a Democrat victory. It’s notable because while the GOP won the election, it was by a much lower margin in a state that Trump only won by 8 percentage points. If the GOP had just acted normal, got rid of the crazies, and ran on sensible borders and inflation control (such as passing the border bill instead of rejecting it so Trump could incoherently ramble about it), they would have probably been in a much better spot. Instead they’re running on fascist theocracy and trying not to hurt the fee fees of a convicted felon. Edited June 12 by Jman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means Democrats have reversed the past habit of them doing horribly in special elections. In the pre-Trump era, Republicans had an advantage in special elections, but now Democrats do because Trump has motivated them to think the country could be in danger if they don't vote. Trump has done a lot to get rid of apathy among Democrats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the Trump brand is so beyond toxic at that point that even with the noise Trump supporters make, it turns off most people. You're bound to find at least one issue Trump rails against that will spur a person to vote against him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are just to try and make you more awake—the amphetamine-type drugs like Adderall and things of that nature, and then there’s things like Provigil that increase your alertness,” Jackson said. “So, I think they’re probably trying to find just the right mix of stuff that can wake him up and make him a little bit more alert and with it.” MAGA Pushes New Conspiracy to Prep for Trump Losing Biden Debate (msn.com) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, he's just trying to pretend his up coming fail is just him throwing it because it's already been settled that mics will be turned off during opponent's speaking time so he's going to look like a silent mumbling child in the background unless he starts screaming and/or actively shitting his pants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
