      I didn’t get the tan suit thing then and I really don’t get it when applied to a woman. I mean I sort of kind of understand the concept that men in politics should wear dark suits, even though I think it’s stupid… but their own women in congress wear all kinds of colors. So basically now they’re pissed off because she’s… wearing a color. Like Marjorie Taylor-Greene or Lauren Boebert.

      I just hope Kamala Harris intentionally wears white after Labor Day just to piss them off.

        White after Labor Day would be great. I really hope Kamala leans into this and just walks over their pettiness. I think it’ll eat trump alive & he’s already close to complete meltdown

    Watters went on to claim that Obama will be pulling the strings in Democratic Party politics for the next quarter century.

    “He’s definitely gonna interfere in this election,” he said. “That’s why we’ll be sending [my producer] Johnny to Hawaii to get the truth about the birth certificate. This time we will dig deep and find out what really happened.”

      Oh my god, how does literally anybody respect these idiots enough to regularly watch them spout bullshit? Literally who the fuck cares about a tan suit!? How is Obama even your concern? Let alone how they’re still regurgitating long disproven and now-irrelevant birtherism almost 8 years after his second term ended.

      They really love Obama, with words like that they believe he is the greatest president. Like Trump level of greatness in their eyes. And they are afraid of him.

      I love the implication that their previous 16 years of trying to find something and failing was a matter of not trying hard enough.

    To be fair, they can’t directly attack the ideas and policies being presented at the DNC, and they can’t discuss the ideas of Republicans because it would be dead air. So all they have left is personal attacks and made up things. Or regressing to the good old days where…they did the same thing to other Democrats.

    I wonder who came up with wearing tan? It was intentional to trigger them, no way it’s coincidence. But you know the minute it was suggested, everyone else was like, hell yeah.

      Strangely enough, I saw a lot of posters in conservative forums after the candidate switch that “we can win by talking about policy”.

      Ok, removed, let’s talk about your policies. The ones where “Democrat Party Shills” criticize it by reading verbatim and letting the implication set in.

        When the book is being used at the DNC as both a joke and a warning, I think they screwed up this time by letting the plan out so early.

    Their audience likes nothing better than replaying their greatest hits. They really don’t pivot very well. Let them: it’s self harm, shows how irrelevant they are.

    Tan suit? Really? When their guy is a 43 time convicted felon who served McDonald’s at the Whitehouse, ran bean commercials out of the oval office, and was directly responsible for the deaths of over a million Americans (very abridged list)? How about this? “Fuck off”!
