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?
RepubliQan owners
Just like the LA Times owner refusing to let the Editors endorse Harris
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.
Hey now, to be fair it's just "persistent anal leakage".
Looking forward to MAGA folks bringing patriotic Chinese-made black butt towels to his rallies.
Do you mean Drowsy Donald?
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.
FWIW: https://bird.makeup/users/kamalahq/statuses/1848764783132053811
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.
The video was a tweet. You won't find it searching for an ad. It was embedded in the article.
Something must be wrong with the site at the moment, as I don't see any video in the article. The rendering is also a bit fucked up.
Thanks. I saw a bunch of those "- (@)" throughout the page with lots of whitespace around them so I guessed they might be where embedded content were supposed to be. Maybe my pihole is blocking them.
Why would I not find it searching for an ad on youtube? I’ve found lots of ads on youtube in the before-times.
Because it isn't an ad
Was it a video? I hear they have those on youtube. The article made it sound like there was audio and video together, not just text.
And anyway isn’t it called an “x” now? I’mma x all my friends to find out.
Was it a video? I hear they have those on youtube.
Remember when boomers thought Internet Explorer (or maybe AOL) was "the Internet"? This reeks of that.
Here, I'll make it easier for you:
Cool thanks!
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
Drowsy Donald
This!
LOL remember when Sleepy Joe was the decrepit old man challenging young, virile Rambo Trump?
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
Should have a temp ban on any accounts under 30 days until after the election.
