She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge.

Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.

        I like to make sure people actually read the things I share! 😁

        The first half is real from their page, I just assumed the second half was what the article would be about.

          For a minute I was wondering if the National Review was going the way of whatever the fuck that one Bee website is… something like a conservative take on The Onion. Can’t remember the name and I’m out of fucks to give to look it up.

            Babylon Bee. I like their logo, but that’s about the only positive I have about them.

            You are better off having those braincells back for useful things than retaining that info. I’m a lost cause. 😜

        Lauren only rated it a 2 theater-handjobs out of 10. Very low energy and uninspiring.

      Childless cat lady Taylor Swift? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

      Edit: I had to look this up, she called herself this in the endorsement in her sign off message at the end in response to something JD Vance said about women earlier.
