Why does the guy in the background have an arm growing out of his head?

Good question. It all hinges on whether her Democratic base has had their "come to Jesus" moment since, as KH said, they rejected her in the 2020 campaign due to racism and sexism. Seems like that's something that they should have had many, many decades ago, but better late than never I guess.

I think it's good that Kamala Harris is playing the meme game this time around, and bringing serious younger energy into the race.
Between "prosecutor vs criminal" and the meme game, she's got good prospects for reach.
I can see them trying to do the birther/truther game again but that game is old and played out already with Obama so it's not got anywhere to go.
Mostly, they seem to be trying to move their criticisms of Biden over but those credits don't transfer, and Harris is way better at messaging, with the successes of the administration before now being relatively unsung (and so 'fresh' fodder for the campaign).
The Trump campaign is going to have a hard time against someone whose whole schtick is holding a strong case up in the face of liars.

Thing is, it's been obvious for a while that the campaign has a lot of very talented social media mavens on their staff; they've just been held back by a candidate who wasn't flexible enough to embrace everything he had in his corner. Like, the presidential X account gets off some good one liners every now and then. It just didn't help Biden because it was all too obvious that he had no idea what "he" was xeeting.

Sorry, JD Vance, but being a ‘childless cat lady’ is actually not a bad thing | Arwa Mahdawi | The Guardian

Is there anything that JD Vance actually believes? | Moira Donegan | The Guardian - "The only thing we can say for sure that JD Vance believes is that he, personally, should have as much power as possible"

At the auto dealer this morning I happened to look over at the TV...I believe it was One America News. Their headline crawl at the bottom read "DEMS UNITE BEHIND HARRIS DESPITE DUBIOUS RECORD". I thought, well, Jesus, your guy's record isn't 'dubious' -- it's factual. He's actually got a record, a genuine rap sheet. The gleaming insanity in America.

I have seen very little of Gutfield, but he sounds gay as hell. His voice would fit right in the clientele of any gay bar.

You forgot to add, "Not that there's anything wrong with that..."
At least I hope you did.

I am unfamiliar with Kamala Harris's laugh, but I have heard that of Tucker Carlson and some other Republicans, and they have no grounds to criticize anyone else's laugh when compared with those of their own people.

Tucker is a man. He can laugh any way he wants, and it's okay. With a woman, it's a "cackle."
It really isn't, though. I watched one of those Fox "supercuts" of her laughing (that's all they had at the moment) and it's just a laugh. It's only a "cackle" because it's coming from a woman.

I don’t think Trump has ever laughed, or even smiled. When he attempts a smile, it comes off as a sinister, insolent, contemptuous smirk, which of course is what it is. People without a sense of humor are absolutely deadly,

... who has spent the last three and a half years telling anyone who will listen that it's a really bad idea to re-elect a very old has-been as President.

Well, they worked it on Hillary in '16.
And, on the guy's side, there's Howard Dean's "YEEE-AHHH!" in 2004, which was taken to mean...well, I'll be damned if I ever knew what it meant. But it has its own wikipedia article -- Dean scream.

Sebastion Gorka called KH "colored" and a DEI hire on NewsMax.

The Reichwing needs to get their story straight. First, they say she was hired because of diversity, then they say she was hired by sexxing her way to the top, but then they also claim she was secretly an evil genius socialist who was in charge behind the scenes instead of Biden. They're running around like chickens with their heads cut off or maybe monkeys flinging poop, waiting for a narrative to catch on.
