Trump Appeared To Fall Asleep At Another Campaign Event—And The Harris Campaign Had The Best Response
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?
A combination of "The owner of the company is a right winger" and "We need to make both sides look equally incompetent, even when one side is shitting himself and the other side has actual policy."
Used to it was just the latter, now we also have the former.
Do you mean Drowsy Donald?
Hoping if he wins they won't be "cancelled" as a free press?
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
Basically in the same situation as you, but I follow a mastodon clone of the KamalaHQ xitter account. If I share the mastodon link, it takes you to the xitter post to watch the video, but in the mastodon app, it plays directly.

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!
Every comicsands.com post is just a chain of orange, "Privacy Badger has replaced this X (Twitter) widget" boxes for me.
Thanks Privacy Badger. Do better Comicsands.
YouTube did this the last TWO elections. They always show Trump stuff. Even when I'm signed in, they show me Trump stuff.
The video was a tweet. You won't find it searching for an ad. It was embedded in the article.
Saved you a click: they shared the video of him nodding off but added a lullaby.
That poopy diaper is so nice and warm it puts you right to sleep.
How dare you make me visualize that
LOL
I have occasional narcoleptic spells. I'll just nod off for a few seconds at a time.
But I'm not running for president while pretending that I'm the healthiest person to ever have been healthy.
Drowsy Donald
This!
Sleepy Don.
So many lawsuits would drain anyone.
Not to mention criminal proceedings!
LOL remember when Sleepy Joe was the decrepit old man challenging young, virile Rambo Trump?
There will forever be conspiracies about how Biden always planned on being a one-term president and was never serious about winning the nomination.
She should hit Trump back with some nicknames like what Trump does to other people.
Sleepy Don. Meatball Don.
Drowsy Don to quote buycurious's reply
This is getting out of hand, guys.
Ugh I really wish we could avoid astroturfing or exclusively political accounts
Why is it out of hand?
Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at there. Are people not allowed to create new accounts, or...?
Should have a temp ban on any accounts under 30 days until after the election.
By contrast, Joshua R. Simmons, Harris's White House doctor released
I love how the grade-school English gaffe by the 'professional' writer reads as if he's calling us Joshua. The American ghost-comma strikes again, delimiting the subclause in spirit only.
For the haters, that sub clause should be Harris' White House doctor. That's the side context they're trying to bring in. They also could have just not named the guy.
