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?
RepubliQan owners
Just like the LA Times owner refusing to let the Editors endorse Harris
RepubliQan owners
I've looked and I can't find any evidence to support this, can you?
Are we doing this again?
No. No, we are not.
Why not? It's not unreasonable to ask for evidence or am I supposed to just take your word for it?
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.
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.
Heigh ho. Have another downvote! Collect enough and maybe you can get a discount on that sanewashing detergent. You're using it at an alarming rate.
Because it's not the job of random internet strangers to do research of widely available information for you?
Bullshit, that's a well-known fact at this point. You're sealioning.
Your assertion is that www.comicsands.com has "RepubliQan owners"?
I've looked and I can't find any evidence to support that and the fact that George Takei is involved in it suggests you're wrong.
Also, I don't see how asking for evidence to back up an unsupported assertion is "sealioning". Are you sure that's the term you wanted to use?

"Jay is the founder and CEO of a digital publishing and social media company that rather unexpectedly grew the internet empire of actor and activist George Takei to tens of millions of followers. Jay serves on the board of directors of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest civil rights organization serving the LGBTQ+ community, which Ma once described as the “trendy” people."
No, that's just your bullshit strawman argument.
The claim was that "the media" (as in, most of it in general) has Republican owners, not comicsands.com specifically.
Do you mean Drowsy Donald?
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
Basically in the same situation as you, but I follow a mastodon clone of the KamalaHQ xitter account. If I share the mastodon link, it takes you to the xitter post to watch the video, but in the mastodon app, it plays directly.

Every comicsands.com post is just a chain of orange, "Privacy Badger has replaced this X (Twitter) widget" boxes for me.
Thanks Privacy Badger. Do better Comicsands.
YouTube did this the last TWO elections. They always show Trump stuff. Even when I'm signed in, they show me Trump stuff.
The video was a tweet. You won't find it searching for an ad. It was embedded in the article.
Saved you a click: they shared the video of him nodding off but added a lullaby.
That poopy diaper is so nice and warm it puts you right to sleep.
How dare you make me visualize that
LOL
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.
That doesn't sound narcoleptic to me. That sounds very normal.
I mean, if it's a one-off thing, sure, but I'll suddenly spent an hour of my afternoon fighting off mini-naps at work
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!
LOL remember when Sleepy Joe was the decrepit old man challenging young, virile Rambo Trump?
This is getting out of hand, guys.
Ugh I really wish we could avoid astroturfing or exclusively political accounts
She should hit Trump back with some nicknames like what Trump does to other people.
Sleepy Don. Meatball Don.
Drowsy Don to quote buycurious's reply
