    Her Twitter account gained new followers so fast that X rate-limited it and disallowed new followers for a period of time (assuming it's resolved by now). If this happened to Vance, the right-wing conspiracy theorists would be out with forks instead of considering that this is probably just X being a subpar platform.

    https://newrepublic.com/post/184097/trump-elon-musk-causing-kamala-harris-problems

    Following Kamala Harris’s announcement that she is running for president, users on Elon’s Musk X (formerly known as Twitter) found themselves banned from following the vice president’s political campaign account.

    When users went to follow @KamalaHQ, the official rapid response page for Harris’s campaign, they were greeted with a message that said they had reached their “limit” and could not follow any more accounts at this time.

    This message usually is deployed to prevent spam or “rate limiting,” for instance if one account is following hundreds of others. But it seems that the Harris account is the one being limited, rather than the users’.

    An initial search for KamalaHQ on The New Republic’s X account also found that the campaign account is limited. The campaign account showed up in repeated subsequent searches, seeming to suggest the issue is being resolved.

    This all may look a little suspicious considering Elon Musk’s growing relationship with Donald Trump.

    Yes, people will go back to wanting the mentally defective 79 year old traitor who gleefully promises to destroy the country in the same boring deranged rally speech he's had for years any day now!

    Trump is ****ed, and he ruined their whole party on the way out; the Harris administration era GOP dysfunction is going to make the current one in the House look like a golden era of comity.

    Trump really did burn down the GOP.

    If that's what you need to tell yourself, go for it.

    Kelly has some practical concerns attached to him.

    1) He's a sitting and popular Senator in a lean R state. That is an incredibly valuable chess piece to lose if Kamala wins.

    2) He's a legit 2028 threat if Kamala loses, but if he is on the ticket that wipes out in 2024 it will dim those prospects for him.

    3) Arizona is important but not as critical as the Midwest.

    The Trump-Vance breakup is going to be a real "you can't fire me, I quit!" situation and I'm here for it, as is @Os Trigonum

    I’m thinking it will likely be Shapiro to help carry PA

    MAGA, a party where the head of Pastors for Trump spews some foul mouthed sexist remarks, the 1950's term "colored" woman comes back again, and White Nationalists for Trump spread their racist and male cheauvanistic filth.

    ‘DEI,’ ‘Colored,’ ‘Jezebel’: MAGA Attacks on Kamala Harris Are Getting Ugly
    The right can barely contain its racist, sexist contempt for Biden’s likely 2024 replacement

    Republicans began tripping over themselves to promote racist tropes about Harris as soon as Biden withdrew.

    The attacks from the far right are as predictable as they are distasteful — reflecting a “based” far-right culture that sees unvarnished expressions of bigotry as a virtue.

    Jackson Lahmeyer, the head of Pastors for Trump and a former GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in Oklahoma posted on July 3 on X that “Both Joe + the Ho gotta go.”

    Sebastian Gorka, a former Trump administration deputy who remains a star in the MAGA orbit, went back to the 1950s with his appraisal of Harris, referring to her with a word that would have been posted on segregated facilities in the Deep South: “She’s a DEI hire, right? She’s a woman. She’s colored. Therefore, she’s got to be good.”

    Lance Wallnau — a Christian nationalist who is tight with the MAGA movement — jumbled up both race and sexuality to blast Harris for embodying “the spirit of Jezebel” — a jab that members of the religious right have long used against female Democratic politicians. But Wallnau warned that Harris will be “even more ominous than Hillary” Clinton, because, he said: “she’ll bring a racial component and she’s younger.”

    Nothing wrong with Kelly...

    The other 2 will bring something to the table that she needs.

    I just received a shipment of FJB/Let's Go Brandon shirts. I am having a 90% off sale. They will look great with your Trump sneakers and tactical cargo shorts. It's what all the MAGA supporters are wearing this summer!

    I've been saying that the whole time. Even before Shapiro was considered a highly regarded candidate. He makes the most sense.

    He's also Jewish, fwiw. Although I don't think that matters at all.

    Nobody should be slut shaming, regardless if its Harris or Rose.

    Accusing someone of ****ing their way to the top is not slut shaming
