Exhausted much, Donald?

    Once Biden stepped aside and endorsed Harris, Trump’s entire campaign strategy was upended, making him the oldest candidate on the campaign trail and exposing faults in his logic.

    Wtf, “exposing faults in his logic”? Why do the media continue to do everything they can to portray Trump as a reasonable man making logical plans for how best to govern?

    OK so I don’t have Twitter and I have social media blocked basically so I wanted to see the ad, right? I went to YouTube to pull it up.

    It was really bizarre - if you search for “Harris ad trump sleeping” you get about 100 - OK 20 of the exact same clip from any number of local TV stations (most of the Fox) where Trump claims Harris is sleeping. And one - exactly one - MSNBC clip, which runs for 12 minutes talking about “exhausted” trump, and doesn’t even show the Harris ad. The Harris ad did not appear in the search at all.

    Now I’m not “signed in“ there, I don’t have cookies or anything so I’m just some random browser showing up asking to see the Harris ad and seeing 90% Trump ads.

    I don’t know what else going on at YouTube, other than it’s awful and worse than ever, and appears to be subsumed with Trump crap.

      I tried finding the Harris interview on Fox there, and just like you, there were so many videos uploaded by randos that could have easily been manipulated, so I just went to the actual Faux website to watch it. Google wants Trump to win so they can buy their way to total dominance.

        Not just that, but I was watching some video about i dunno, some kinda hardware, or something - nothing even particularly recent or popular - and the comments underneath it were so obviously and horribly bots. They all used the exact same words, they all used the exact same phrasing, and they all had different user names. Just one after the other, probably 100 of them

        So I think YouTube has abandoned attempts to make it good - or even usable - probably for profit reasons. Enter russia4trump

        Good point - but it didn’t work in my mastodon app (it linked to the tweet but as I say I have that blocked). I did read up on the Kamala tag though, so thanks for the pointer!

    She should hit Trump back with some nicknames like what Trump does to other people.
