There were Republicans who spoke at the convention last week. She probably means Republicans like them, not MAGA ones.

He may give everybody a vote, doesn’t mean he’ll let them all count.
But remember, advertisers boycotting XTwitter is horrible and illegal and mean and against the First Amendment.
I don’t know how many states did that bullshit. I just know terrible right-wing ideas usually spread, so I assume if there’s one there’s probably more.
I would expect Georgia is one of the states where it’s illegal to give water to people in line to vote.
the only complaint came from a Russian boxing body with a history of making suspect claims in the past
And that was only after she defeated a previously undefeated Russian. Sounds an awful lot like sore losers making up excuses.
Have you heard about AIPAC spending loads of money to take out pro-Palenstinian incumbents in the primaries? They can probably cause Harris more trouble in the election than the pro-Palestinian protesters.
They needed to have something that might be less appealing than an AI assistant
Seems like Trump’s people didn’t do any digging to vet Vance, but the MAGA crowd will write it all off as fake news anyway.
This is also why “we need to increase the tax rate due to inflation” is also bullshit and any politician who says it is trying to pull one over on the public, by the way.
Incomes haven’t been increasing anywhere near inflation, so increasing income tax rates to cover increased government spending caused by inflation wouldn’t be “bullshit”. Increasing sales tax rates would be, though.
He doesn’t have immunity for the crimes but there is testimony about things he said to staff while in office and the Supreme Court has declared such conversations off-limits. They really went out of their way to cover for Trump, except for the part where Biden would probably have immunity for having him killed.
The president couldn’t be charged for taking the billionaires’ money but the money could still be returned. An assassination can’t be undone.
I think he’d at least need to be clear on which part is a lie; did the killings not actually happen or are they not his fault?
Scrutiny!? Whatever will she do? (Tell Fox News she’s being persecuted, probably)

Its just unreasonable to expect spotify to be able to afford that when they already barely pay musicians.
The audiobooks help them pay even less for music:
With the introduction of the stand-alone audiobooks offering, Spotify is now able to pay lower music-licensing rates for the music-and-audiobook bundle, introduced in the U.S. in November 2023. The 2022 settlement agreement between the National Music Publishers Assn. and streaming services includes a carveout for bundles (such as Amazon Prime and Apple Music + Apple News), which the new audiobook offering falls under. Such plans lower the mechanical licensing rates the company pays in the U.S. Spotify’s lower royalty rates are retroactive to March 1, 2024.
However, NMPA president-CEO David Israelite had strong words for the move when contacted for comment by Variety. “It appears Spotify has returned to attacking the very songwriters who make its business possible,” he wrote. “Spotify’s attempt to radically reduce songwriter payments by reclassifying their music service as an audiobook bundle is a cynical, and potentially unlawful, move that ends our period of relative peace. We will not stand for their perversion of the settlement we agreed upon in 2022 and are looking at all options.” The NMPA and streaming services resolved a years-long standoff over royalty rates with a Copyright Royalty Board ruling in 2022, and agreed upon a new rate of 15.35% for the 2023-2027 period.
The standard fine for violating the STOCK Act is $200, but frequently the House Committee on Ethics and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics waive the fee.
Craig Holman, a Capitol Hill lobbyist on ethics and campaign finance rules for nonprofit Public Citizen, said the fee is one of two reasons why the STOCK Act is frequently violated.
“The penalty is so minimal that these millionaire members of Congress really don’t care about it," Holman told Raw Story. “The second provision is the ethics committees are not really enforcing it or taking it seriously.”
So basically this “law” is just a suggestion.
Less likely isn’t the same as unlikely, most of those people probably just went from definitely voting for Trump to probably voting for Trump.
Please make a joke about how Trump is trying to convince the Supreme Court it shouldn’t be a crime for you to have him killed.
Relative to RFK, maybe
