So what's poor Sir #TrumpVirus to do?

Aside from " #doomtruthing " and spewing the usual fake #Truth?

So smart... He's already got the #Swiftboat #media guy. Now's time for dirty politics (and Bannon's on Va-ca)

> Campaign staffers are on edge as Corey Lewandowski, bearing a menacing new title, begins popping up on calls, taking meetings with staffers, and searching for loyalists to rival Chris and Susie...

#KamalaHarris’ campaign has pushed back against the attacks, but some #Democrats worry #Republicans might succeed in turning Walz’s #military #service into a liability. Others accused Republicans of attempting to “#SwiftBoat” #Walz, a reference to the 2004 campaign & a sign of the campaign’s continued relevance.

Don't try that #swiftboat sh*it again. It won't work.

@GottaLaff Are we heading for the #SwiftBoat canards, do you think?

"Two decades ago, LaCivita helped write & produce television ads for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that falsely claimed Kerry was misrepresenting his #service as a #SwiftBoat captain in the #Vietnam War — for which Kerry was awarded 3 Purple Hearts, a Silver Star & a Bronze Star.

Vance & other Republicans are now trying to discredit Walz’s 24 years of service in the #NationalGuard...

#swiftboating is now a widely used term for the kind of attack #Republicans have launched at #Walz"

@BookSwiftieAndrew @swifties4kamala @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews from #swiftboat to #swifties? is she trying to get ahead of the google search recommendation algorithm?

So #MAGAts are trying to #swiftboat @TimWalz
Then we'll #swiftcouch @JDVance
Couches across America are starting to come forward & admit they were also sexually assaulted by him
I'll vote for the COACH

#LIES reminiscent of #SwiftBoat attacks in 2004 that targeted 1 of John Kerry’s key political strengths: his #heroism, #valor in #Vietnam.Some political editors still get played like fiddle when it comes 2 covering #GOP attack lines. #WaPo was worst culprit, headline: “Tim Walz’s military record, National Guard departure get new scrutiny.” It happily launders #Vance attack line w/out self-awareness or historical understanding of the last 2 decades of American politics." https://morningmemo.talkingpointsmemo.com/p/20-years-later-political-press-still

It's been a few years, but from what I recall, the Kerry Swiftboat kinda worked because Kerry's team didn't think anyone would pay attention to nonsense, didn't bother to refute the falsehoods.

#election #Kerry #Swiftboat #Walz

Don't let the #CouchFucker #Swiftboat #CoachWalz.

The guy who stopped his rally to make sure an audience member got some water is the kind of person this country desperately needs in government.

What we don't need is another creep who shoves foreign diplomats out of the way so he can hog the camera.

The list of things that make #FatHitler despicable is only exceeded by the #CouchFucker's list.

#Walz spent 24 years in the Army as a Former Sergeant Major, Master Sergeant (E-9), retired honorably

Vance enlisted in the Marines, leaving as an Corporal (E-4) after 4 years, honorably.

As a Vet, I thank them both for their service.

As a human, #Vance should let go of his couch and stop trying to #Swiftboat other service members.

@GottaLaff

Do you agree that #FuxSpews is attempting to #SwiftBoat #GovWalz ?

Did #Trump‘s VP pick #JDVance just ‘#swiftboat’ #TimWalz by attacking his #military record?

[Yep. Vance is pretty effin stupid.]

#Vance, accused his opponent of “stolen valor garbage” & accused him of having “abandoned” his unit in 2005 ahead of a planned deployment to Iraq.

@elhowieson
The ONLY reason #Republicans are pushing the "Biden is too old" and suggesting he has #dementia memes is to distract from the fact their OWN candidate is only 3-1/2 years younger, is DEFINITELY showing signs of dementia, plus has 91 felony convictions INCLUDING trying to overthrow the government via encouraging a violent mob to attack The Capitol.

Same reason #AWOLBush supporters #Swiftboat'ed War Hero John Kerry in '04.

@Savvyhomestead
I think a lot about the way #Republicans run elections, picking at threads until they turn them into giant controversies that #Democrats spend all their time defending (drawing attention away from their OWN worse offenses.)

Bronze Star recipient John Kerry was #Swiftboat'ed to distract from #AWOLBush. #NewtGingrich investigated Bill Clinton's affairs while HE HIMSELF was having an affair.

#Democrats should be asking all the time: #WhereIsMelania? #IOKIYAR

@flexghost
The #GOP was always the "Pro-military" party. (Remember the *disgust* they had for "draft dodger" Bill Clinton?)

Then, they elected a draft dodger in 2000, "#SwiftBoat'ed John #Kerry (winner of the Bronze Star for bravery) to re-elect Bush in 2004, went BACK to being pro-military by nominating war hero John #McCain in 2008, nominated *another* draft dodger (Mitt Romney) in 2012, and then #CaptainBoneSpurs (who ridiculed McCain) in 2016.
