"We don't have a candidate or any polices that people want, so we built our entire campaign around attacking the old guy... we are not cranks."
Did nobody consider that Biden might die? I mean, the guy is a million years old, any campaign run by people who are not window licking morons would have a plan in a drawer for the moment the opposing candidate karks it.
Maybe the people who tried to get the convicted felon and foreign agent back as part of the campaign are not the smartest?
Sorry, to clarify, given the surprisingly large number of people in the Trump orbit that are convicted felons and foreign agents, I mean Manafort. They wanted him to run the Convention.
Todays' Republicans would be like 1964 Republicans trying to run against LBJ by complaining that he's Catholic and just a rich Boston playboy who has no idea how ordinary Americans from the heartland live.
OT: This sack of rancid dog shit has a plan to infiltrate the DNC with MAGAt 'volunteers'.
Right Wing Watch:
Ivan Raiklin, Trump's self-proclaimed "secretary of retribution," is urging far-right activists—"particularly those who don't have a big public profile"—to volunteer for the Democratic National Convention.
One thing to credit Biden with is that he obviously had planned his withdrawal in advance and used this time to help unite major party figures behind Harris. Notice how quickly everyone coalesced around her following his endorsement. He obviously want her election to be part of his legacy, knowing correctly that if she beats Trump it will make Biden's presidency--including his selfless decision to stand down--one of the all time greats.
Remember your grandkids may one day ask "where were you when American defeated its homegrown fascism?" and think of the part you'll want to play.
Out of curiosity, I checked to see what Franklin Graham is saying about Kamala. So far, nothing - just some Bible quotes and promo for his ministry. The last politically related post was two days ago:
"I recently told President Donald J. Trump that his stories would be even better without foul language … it seems like he really took that to heart! He’s also right about this—“Every single moment is a gift from God.”""
I was a little confused at first. When the camera panned the crowd, I saw mostly young adults, and they were not wearing goofy flag-themed clothing, nor sporting bandages on their ears.
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades. We still have to fight, nothing's guaranteed, but with bright minds like Kamala helping the youth, we're in a good spot.
But she didn't even mention sharks 'n batteries 'n sunken boats! Seriously, though, nicely done. I think the huge haul of money through ActBlue is quite a sign: ordinary Democrats aren't in "disarray" or despair at all. I think we are all looking forward to defeating for the second time the unfit, unworthy candidate the Republicans are running. Money talks, even if BS struts and wears an over-long red tie.
Lol, had a good moment on facebook. On a re-lect Joe site, someone was being a pissy pants about Kamala, saying they won't vote and some similar bullshit. Someone tried to to argue with pissy pants, I said "not worth engaging with the negativity, we have work to do." Got a great respsonse: "You’re so right! Thank you. I’m going to roll up my sleeves and postcard, canvass and phone bank!!! This is what is different from 2016.
I supported Joe till the end. But I trust his political instincts. Nobody makes him do anything. He hates the PAB as much as we do. He see's the path forward and took it. Go Kamala!
Anyone saying they won't vote should take a few days to process it. I get the bitterness--my mom was livid about Democrats calling on Joe to step down as of yesterday morning (pre-announcement) and I'm sure a lot felt the same way. But Joe made this decision soberly, he was persuaded and not bullied (Joe doesn't react to bullies), and Kamala is certainly going to fight for his legacy and her chance to go beyond it.
Think it through, then remember what we are up against. The best thing for Biden's legacy is Kamala winning, in fact it looks even better than him winning at the top of the ticket because his selflessness will have paid off. This surpasses ANY president's second term.
(Also, historically? Every president's second term has sucked donkey balls)
Something I didn't really think about is how a race between Biden and Felon 34 felt like a repeat of 2020. With an incumbent, it's easy just to think about the race like a tv re-run and get complacent and just grumble since Biden did it before and will probably squeak by again.
With Harris, I think it's kind of waking up people to the stakes in this race again.
There are certainly risks with Kamala, but the potential upside is far greater.
All I hope is she and her team are ready for this and have a solid 90 day plan. Not much time for error here, but a sharp, solid campaign to pull in swing voters can pull this off.
I'm thinking massive blue wave. Just a landslide so wide and deep that they have to come up with a new word for it. The GOP has shown the world it's ass in the form of their very special Emperor King, a walking collection of personality defects so blatant that it takes an entire MSM to distract from his unfitness for office. No red states, not one left because women are not going to stand by and let a bunch of republicans doom them to second class citizenship while Americans of good faith turn out in massive numbers to say "No Trump, no KKK no fascist USA"
Yes. I thought Biden would win a close race as many people finally recognized that it really is important to beat Trump. But Kamala Harris may have a better chance to achieve a convincing win. We need a victory that looks more like a decisive (or at least solid) rejection of the fascist lunatics who want to transform America into something unrecognizable to itself and supremely dangerous to much of the world.
He may try to say he doesn't need to debate her, but that won't be a good look. If he debates Harris, she will be able to counter his lies. He really only has a couple of tricks in his bag: the Gish Gallop or Firehose of Lies, and brazen obnoxiousness (talking over the opponent, "stalking," etc.). I don't see those tactics working with a former prosecutor who has confronted plenty of self-important, lawbreaking jerks in her time. He will come across as a repellent, small-minded, incompetent man who simply believes he's entitled to the job.
Ta, Rebecca.
I'm late to this li'l party (had actual stuff to do—ugh) but I'm crying just hearing Kamala talk about Old Handsome Joe.
I wonder what Fukui has been up to, haven't seen a post for a while..
Probably swapping out the Frotners on his race car.
He's giving his girls cameras
Nikon D750s
i'm not sure that "we are the champions", played by the NBC studio orchestra (or whatever it was), is effective. can't they just go with the original?
It just amazes me how this pathetic whiny nothing ever became the leader of anything.
Siri: show me “saying the quiet part out loud”

The 34 FELON Fraudster complaining that he a victim of fraud is the ultimate chef's kiss.🤑🤑🤑

Wah.

Have they considered Trump might die? he is also old and in way worse shape.
I know I consider it. I consider it a lot.
I think they probably dream about it every night.
Todays' Republicans would be like 1964 Republicans trying to run against LBJ by complaining that he's Catholic and just a rich Boston playboy who has no idea how ordinary Americans from the heartland live.
Remember that as humiliating as it was for Trump to lose to Biden, it'd be infinitely worse for him to lose to a much younger, black woman.
From Oakland California!
Its basically getting beat by some black kid from 'the hood'. To him its about 2 steps worse than getting wupped by one of the central park five.
Racism is part of the core of who he is, this is going to drive him insane.
I'm so very here for it. 🍿🍿🍿

pretty sure that's what happened with Matt the Local Extremely Flaming RNC Volunteer, the dear in the red short shorts.
Delusional. 🎶🎵🎼
Yes, because political parties are made up of people who don't know each other.
Is the DNC even taking volunteers now?
Maybe to fetch coffee and make sure the green room has snacks.
I imagine basically everyone was selected months ago.
Good luck with that. Delegates are selected at District and State conventions-credentialing at National is tight.

Baptist News just had some things to say about him.

Man, have y'all seen the Republicans' nominee? He is OLD! So very OLD!
I hear that he poops his pants.
I heard he attended high school at the same time as the truly ancient man who's President.
He attended high school?
I think his mind is going, too.
No pressure here.
"Some of you will bring home the gold!"
Well let's hope they do!
She does know a lot about this.
I personally hope she brings home the gold on November 6, 2024.
That's a lot of pressure too!
Apparently the St Louis Cardinals were covering their ears and doing the Trump fist pump during a home run celebration yesterday.
People were shocked.
Didn’t surprise me a bit. The Cardinals have always come across as absolute complete assholes.
The fist pump is not a trademarked property of the Trump brand. But covering the ears might the the perfect gesture to symbolize MAGA.
Hope they move on to the speak no evil phase soon.
As if I needed another reason to ignore them. Now, the Ofallon Hoots, on the other hand, . . .
What about the Malmo Oat Milkers?
Seems like they've proven it now.
I was a little confused at first. When the camera panned the crowd, I saw mostly young adults, and they were not wearing goofy flag-themed clothing, nor sporting bandages on their ears.
Then I realized I was looking at the future.

That's mainly what she needs to do, act normal and watch the press tie itself in knots trying to normalize Trump.

That and Bernie putting a sock in it.

But his penance does not stop till she wins.

TOM TOMORROW!
I admit, I'm quite eager to see if Chump will debate Prosecutor Harris.
looks like they will have to deal with his new demands that it be fox, not abc, etc etc etc.
He may try to say he doesn't need to debate her, but that won't be a good look. If he debates Harris, she will be able to counter his lies. He really only has a couple of tricks in his bag: the Gish Gallop or Firehose of Lies, and brazen obnoxiousness (talking over the opponent, "stalking," etc.).

"MISTER TRUMP. I'M SPEAKING."
Not even joking, I would pay money to see that moment.
