Billboards Calling Trump Chicken for Running from Debates Pop Up in Pennsylvania

I love it. But I'd love more signs pointing out how much he hates veterans. That's something I'd donate to.

And that he hates unions, in areas of high union population

Republican Voters Against Trump have been running veteran billboards for a while. The DNC has been running billboards calling him and anti-union scab.

I think the chicken angle hits a bit different though, a lot of people write off everything trump says as just talk, and many attacks seem to get ignored as slander, but the fact he's unwilling to debate is a plain and uncontested fact, one that makes him look weak.

I want more about how he's the only president to advocate for a complete gun ban.

I can't believe Harris's campaign isn't pressing harder on that point.

- I know about the time he said "take the guns, due process later", and the blanket bump stock back, but was there more?

Him being afraid of debating Harris again makes me believe he's a little less braindead than I could assume, lmao.

I'm just trying to imagine the person who drives through town, sees that sign, and makes up their mind on who to vote for based on that message.

10
- Everyones mind is made up. At this point it's just about turn out. If you can make a candidate look more Pathetic right before voting, the enthusiasm to support them by actually doing something that requires a little effort dwindles.

But didn't he say he won? While rattling off bingo numbers that seemed to have no correlation with the Polish?

Edit: Oh, god. I've gone for too many jokes at once. Maybe it's time I have a kid so I can relish in their disappointment of such situations.

Edit Edit: Wow. I'm really pessimistic today.

They need to pop up in Florida, all around Mar-a-Lago.

Orange Chicken (but not the delicious kind)

Sometimes, you just gotta say "cluck it" and walk away.

Tooto chicken debate!

It's a cock-fighting-like event but more civilised where chickens debate each other, they each have little tables & get prep time.
The winner gets a bucket of mealworms. The loser gets the same, bcs chickens are good girls.

Too-to ("Tutu") was the legendary supreme chicken debate champion that a set of debate rules is now named after, in her honour.

(TIL when I searched for a pic there is a chicken tutu market)

Oh, I thought the loser would be sold to a rotisserie. My bad. 😅

- No.
  But pole dancing is just as valid career choice as debating.

Not a fan of pacs in general but those guys i like

Yep. https://maddogpac.com/

It's dumb and petty, and yet it's the level that you need to stoop to to deal with people like Trump, they only understand pettiness.

Truly funny.

I have seen hens and roos take on hawks. Don't insult them by comparing them to Trump

I wish the dems would let this go. They’re going to get him to agree to debate and then Kamala is going to make some minor flub that the press will run wild with despite Trump constantly speaking in word salad. The last thing you want is a “Howard Dean scream” this late in the campaign cycle. Just let Tim Walz mop up the floor with Vance in October, and then let us all vote.

No, this is exactly where they can hurt him.

Trump and his followers believe that they represent the silent majority that still has "real" values - like honor, strength and misogyny.

Calling them out as weird and cowards attacks exactly these values. It turns their own self image against them.

- Trump and his followers believe that they represent the silent majority
  
  So does Harris and her Democrats. That's the whole "But we won the popular vote!" defense, every time a Democrat gets ratfvcked out of a few hundred votes in a swing state on election day.
  
  The bitter truth is that, with over half of the population unwilling or unable to vote, these candidates are at best representing a plurality.
  
  Calling them out as weird and cowards attacks exactly these values.
  
  As elections go, the common denominator between the two candidates appears to be their refusal to endorse their own party's policies. Trump keeps backing away from Project 2025 and insisting it has nothing to do with his campaign. Harris is falling over herself to get away from the Genocide Joe name tag and to distance herself from the litany of undelivered platform of promises - from gun control to M4A to higher education relief to a Green New Deal - that they can never rally enough votes in their own caucus to pass.
  
  The battlefront is entirely what the other person is going to do if they get into office. Kamala promises not to sign a bill banning abortion. Trump promises not to sign a bill that legalizes immigration. Both promise not to sign a bill that will increase your taxes or cut your benefits. But that's it. It's all defense, no offense.
  
  The best either candidate seems willing to promise is that nothing will get done.

Hell no. Play to win. As soon as you start playing to "not lose", you'll lose.

I love the confidence of this and let's not pretend she won't smack him harder the second time. She's a former prosecutor and she's also not 800 years old.

He's scared, weak, and fragile. Call him out on it.

28
The last debate hurt his polling numbers measurably. The press can say whatever they want. Doesn't make it true

Real or not all this reminds me of is the later seasons of West Wing.

I was gonna ask if Josh Lyman has a new job?

They can't get mad about this just because democrats are better at.

2

No need to change the hair color either. Chicken yellow. But they had to screw up with the face.

This is the level of our national discourse. And yeah the republicans started it and are worse in many ways. And maybe this sign is fake and just meant as a funny joke. But Jesus Christ we're killing ourselves.

The billboards like this are oftentimes from Republicans that are anti-MAGA, this one however is some guy that was a low level cabinet member of Clinton who decided to create his own PAC (Mad Dog PAC).

It isn't the DNC putting these up, it's basically people that just want to troll Trump, and when Trump stops running I'm sure most of these groups will move on to other things.

36
- The way things are going, if and when Trump exists there will be a crazier guy or gal replacing him. And we'll keep circling the drain trying to make the other guy look stupid.

- The dude is a grifter. He spread so much fake shit about mueller investigation along with that crazy chick louise mensch

Not paid for by Kamala, it's paid for by a PAC

- "The Democratic National Committee is running a mobile billboard campaign tonight around Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, trying to taunt him into agreeing to a second debate with Kamala Harris, the New York Times reports.
  
  Said the billboard: “There’s no debate: Trump’s a chicken.”
