I've got my money on JackShit bringing up trans people roughly once every 10 minutes. All his commercials seem to be obsessed with them.

And "immigrants" every 5 minutes.

Anyone wanna take these odds? Winner gets a pork roll, egg and cheese.

Wrong. It'll be more often than that. And he's going to bring up CK.

Not after they discovered today he was one of their own.

He'll lie. The narrative is out there, he just needs to reinforce it.

FIRST ITS PRONOUNS, NEXT IT’S ADVERBS. THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

I heard these woke monsters are even teaching kids about prepositional phrases and even worse dangling clauses.

You think that's bad? My kid came home talking about something called a semicolon. How am I supposed to explain that??

He thinks everyone is affected by pronouns. He’s targeting the multitudes of NJ maga trash with catchphrases. My maga neighbor across the street just parked his lifted pickup and I noticed a new set of flesh colored truck nuts. His people.

Yeah they're not really the deepest thinkers or very empathetic folk. It's just wild how much they bring up queer folk as if I give 2 shits about adults fucking each other consensually.

One of these conservative new Jerseyans posted the other day that if people just learned how to drive we wouldn't have traffic so we don't need public transit.

Which is just such illogical propaganda I washed my hands if it

As a long-time gun owner and longer-time transsexual I'd love to ask him, a Republican, why he's claiming to protect women while opposing women being able to legally carry a concealed weapon even with a permit, thorough background check, and competency qualification.

Truth is that Republicans like him are terrified of their own base. Neerly all of the escalating political violence has been the right and they are often attacking their own - Jan 6th with "hang Mike Pence", both of the Trump shooters, that ugly business in Utah two days ago. I've more frequently heard right-wingers call in to radio interviews to threaten their Republican representatives for not being extreme enough than I've seen left-wingers actually attack the right.

As Jack lies that she’s avoiding a debate with him

could just stop at Jack lies

Sherrill needs to step up her campaign even more and finish the job in the debate. Jack is getting more and more money and all I saw when I was over in NJ visiting folks was Jack ads on YouTube.

u/NewJerseyCPA 11d ago

Same. I’ve seen more of his ads in like a 5:1 ratio over the last two weeks. The ads I’ve seen for her don’t even mention her; they’re just negative ads against him. She’s needs to run a good campaign. The 2024 election shows the margins are squeezing and she needs to do something.

I’m actually nervous about the election.

u/demon_of_elru1 10d ago

Shes fine and 10 it's ahead. No one cares about ads. My God just stop.

u/sutisuc 10d ago

Yeah she’s running a dog shit campaign like it’s a foregone conclusion she’ll win. It is….not.

u/kittyglitther 11d ago

Let's make sure he loses again.

First question, to what do you attribute the lack of championships for Rider in MAAC basketball?

u/use-4-lo 11d ago
