    By contrast, Joshua R. Simmons, Harris’s White House doctor released

    I love how the grade-school English gaffe by the ‘professional’ writer reads as if he’s calling us Joshua. The American ghost-comma strikes again, delimiting the subclause in spirit only.

    I have occasional narcoleptic spells. I’ll just nod off for a few seconds at a time.

    But I’m not running for president while pretending that I’m the healthiest person to ever have been healthy.

          Sleep technologist with 18y experience here.

          I don’t mean to nitpick, but you’re likely just sleep deprived. You probably don’t get enough sleep or the quality of your sleep just isn’t very good because of an issue like sleep apnea. When your sleep sucks, a simple bump in blood sugar from lunch is enough to throw you into a neck-breaking tailspin. The more you know… 🌠

            Huh

            Bloody hell, from making a joke to actual advice. Sleep quality might be the issue, because I’ve tried various sleep lengths, no caffeine, no hectic stimulation or all the other advice you’ll read online. I’ll have that checked out. Thanks for the tip!

    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?

      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.

                So the concept that if you state something as a fact you should be able to prove it, that’s just not something we do here?

                  So if we were having a discussion about WW2, and I mentioned the Holocaust, you would make me prove to you that it’s real before continuing the conversation?

                  Or… Is it something that has been thoroughly researched, with a general consensus among experts about the specifics so therefore doesn’t need to be proven every time it’s mentioned?

              Because this is common knowledge and you can google the information for yourself. You’re attempting to interject doubt into the conversation using a dog whistle.

                  Concern trolling is the most annoying troll, too. “I’m just asking questions” and circle arguments over and over.

                That’s not a dog whistle, a dog whistle is a phrase or word that has a special meaning to group its intended to been received by. I.e. something that will only be noticed and picked up by them.

                I don’t know if OP is a republican but I find their response strange, almost like they got caught chatting shit.

                As far as I can tell comicsands.com is associated with George Takei which seems to refute their assertion that it’s some far right publication.

    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

      The video was a tweet. You won’t find it searching for an ad. It was embedded in the article.

        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!

    She should hit Trump back with some nicknames like what Trump does to other people.
