KH was actually my first choice in 2020, but then I thought she veered too far to the left, and she ended up losing steam. Then I think I liked Warren, but she ran too far to the left. By the time the primaries came, I voted for Biden since I thought he was actually centrist enough to win.
She just needs to follow the Biden, and Obama, playbook - run in the middle, so that you can actually win, and then do the most that you can get done with the Congress you've got. I think she's got a pretty good shot at winning, and Ipsos had a poll come out yesterday that had her 2 points up on Dump. She's certainly bringing a lot of new energy that our party needed. Let's just hope the Electoral College goes our way, and we can all relax for a few more years.
It would be so satisfying to see Trump not only lose to a woman, but a WOC. That will KILL him.
Secret Service snipers killed the gunman, Thomas Crooks, 20, after locating him on a nearby roof. Mr. Crooks was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and had magazines for the rifle and a bulletproof vest in his car along with the drone. . . .
Mr. Wray also disclosed on Wednesday that the son bought the rifle from his father and that the family had 14 firearms in the house.
"In an interview with Politico's Olivia Beavers, Comer indicated that the contents of the report may not matter so much now that President Joe Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.
"I feel like we’ve done our job," Comer told Beavers. "Our part of the report has been finished for a long time. They can publish it or not — I guess things change if [Biden is] not running again.""
OT: Phoenix temperature 97F at 10:20 MST. Bad news: Hamilton's A/C quit working last night. Service call made, appointment between 13:00 and 17:00 today. It's 87F indoors. The cats are flat and Hamilton is doing a wet tshirt contest.
I need to fix the battery in my car first. My problem is what to do about the kittehs. However, the heat is not bothering them too much yet. Simba is purring on my shoulder causing me to get a big sweat spot because he is warm. But the fan is blowing on us. I need to get off of my butt and get some water though I don't want to get too dehydrated.
My entire heart goes out to you, Hammy! I've just survived about two weeks of triple digit temps without any AC and didn't believe I could last much longer. The heat FINALLY broke last night and it's much more pleasant here in the low eighties.
I hope so much the repairs can be made swiftly so that you can get cooled off!
Here's a much nicer piece of Olympic news than that
"I just want to say thank you to my fellow team usa olympians/athletes for voting and choosing me for this incredible honor to be the flag bearer for the opening ceremony ❤️. Thank you so much. I am incredibly honored. 🥹🇺🇸'
I was watching that and was so mad I turned out off before I heard it was called offsides. It really seems like they were trying to put a thumb on the scale for the favorites.
Ta, Evan.
Wow. Just wow. Excellent speech. I understand the assignment. We are not playing around.
I love her smile!
I just want "We are not playing around" to be the tagline.
WE WILL NOT GO BACK!
OMG, just turned it on and SHE IS WEARING A TAN SUIT!
Let it go
GASP!!!
Let's just hope she doesn't start eating fancy mustard. ELITIST!!!!!!!
She puts dijon on her arugula while wearing a tan suit!
a tan pant suit?!?
Kamala Harris is awesome, I'm proud to get to vote for her again!

She hit out of the park! So glad she is the (presumptive) candidate!
Now I need to fetch a Kleenex. America's next President is discussing the incredible work and incredible heart of the current President, Joe Biden.
The 3 things I have seen her do since Joe stepped aside all started with v ery nice remarks about Joe.
Without Joe she would not be there.
But a lot of other people would not even think of speaking about Joe that way.
I have to work, so I'll probably miss Joe's speech, but I'm not so sure my heart could take it anyway.
Good old fashioned gun nut family

88.5 yards.
Mostly safe family!
Only ONE of them was a bad guy with a gun.
This ASL interpreter is absolutely magnificent. She's communicating exuberance beautifully.
I should be working on something, but here I am being entranced by the Vice President's smile.
How many times did OHJB say that?
And he is the king of smiles
Yeah, he's got a good one. As does Jill.
Gonna miss them.
But Kamala and Doug also have great smiles!
OT

I think this is an admission.
Oh yeah! He still exists....
Now that we suddenly don't care if Hur is a special counsel, can we back off of Jack?
I had no idea that a House Repub's job was to run around with their thumbs up their butt squawking like a wet hen. Interesting!
Yep, generate FUD to defeat Joe Biden. The MSM will uncritically report it. So they'll try to fuck this chicken with Kamala Harris now.
"I feel like we did our jobs"
Wanking motion...
Publishing blank sheets of paper should be fairly easy and cheap, pigfuck. Go for it.
"Lorem ipsum sounds pretty serious. Print it!"

Tip you probably already know: Bowl of ice water, dip a washcloth into it and wear it around your neck. It helps. Hope the AC fix is quick and easy.
Ugh. Can you go to a cooling center if you need to?

Yuck. I hope they come sooner rather than later, so you and The Crew get some relief!

I used this video to fix mine for less than $100.

Simba: "This sooooo messes with my fur styling! Fix it, Hammy!"
Yuk!
I am more than happy to vote for her and turn the country over to the yute of America!
"What's a yute?"
Watch 'My Cousin Vinnie'. It's how pesci pronounces youth.
Someone just under 60.
OT but chaos at the opening football match of the Paris Olympics! (Some sports get a head start before the opening ceremonies.)

"DEI flag bearer" in 3 ... 2 ...
When you take your sports much too seriously
Right? It's the Olympics, which nobody in football gives a shit about. This ain't the Euros or the World Cup.
If it *were* the World Cup, the area hospitals would be overwhelmed with the injured.
I was watching that and was so mad I turned out off before I heard it was called offsides. It really seems like they were trying to put a thumb on the scale for the favorites.
U.S. men play France at 3 ET ...
I'd love to see us do well. Our best Olympic performance was second of three.
Wow
