O'Donnell, and I know, right? And it's because they're not worried about losing access to Dems if they're rude, because we'll overlook that shit for the most part. This is why idiots/assholes like Doocy are still allowed to show up. That, and their corporate masters are all rich Republicans, so I'm sure it's understood among the reporters that they're allowed two different sets of rules to operate under. But, man -- that O'Donnell segment made me feel stabby, as The Bloggess would say.
trump's taking over his campaign as only he can fuck-it-up. Contrary to his reputed professional and top-notch staff he insists on "Being trump."
"Don't ever speak in public again unless on Hannity" they advise. The man baby ignores it cause VP Harris is getting crowds he can only prematurely E-jack over.
Really, if the Democrats are going to be expected to be taken seriously by the press, when are we going to get:
Pictures of Tim Walz in drag.
Tim Walz telling us about how all the people who grew up with in rural America are drug attics that deserve their fate since they couldn't find a billionaire to pull them up by their bootstraps?
Proof of Kamala being bribed by Egypt, China, Saudi Arabia or Russia.
Long, meandering stories about how Kamala was also shot down in a helicopter with Barry White . . . Betty White . . . a white person, who, with their last dying breath told her that the proven rapist, fraud and convicted felon Old Man Trump was a nasty, nasty man?
Kamala telling us that while her crowds are nice, they are nothing like when she showed up at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024 to 61,629 screaming fans who were just there for her?
I mean, if the Democrats are not going to be serious about this election, why should we?
JFC, Doocy really likes to ask STUPID questions doesn't he? (Axios is saying that VP Harris wants to put distance between herself and Bidenomics.) What a stupid effing git. I wish Karine Jean-Pierre would just slap him.
Honestly, he deserves to be called that. I guess his father is feeding him those stupid questions. I don't know how Ms. Jean-Pierre has the patience. I would be bitch-slapping those people left and right.
Because housing. The economy feels shit to vast swaths of millennials and younger, because housing. Both for buyers and renters, the gouging is insane.
There's no supply. And a large part of why there's no supply is that interest rates haven't come down, so everyone with a 1.9% mortgage isn't letting go of it even if they've outgrown their house. So the only places available are new construction, estate sales, flippers, and those who have to move. Or those who can afford to pay cash.
I've lived in NoCal for the last 20something years and b/c of super high rents (we are right now paying $2,500/month for a small-ish house) we haven't been able to save $$$ to buy a home.
We are moving in with my mom for a couple of years (my dad died last year, and we're going to help her get things in order and then hopefully move her out of AZ to somewhere more hospitable-she just had an addition to the house remodeled for us) so we don't have about 60% of our income eaten up by rent so we can save for a downpayment and be able to buy a home.
It's ridiculous in this country. There needs to be laws about how many houses a person can own and that corporations can't own them, and we need a real, robust public housing program.
The insurance and stuff adds a bunch to the monthly, We put in a big down payment hoping we could end up buying for a little less than we were renting, but it didn't pan out here on the Gulf coast. We pay a little more even after putting in a huge down.
I just looked at a listing for a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom trailer on 3 acres in rural southern NH--$299,990. 8 years ago you could have got it for $70,000. And it has a "sale pending" tag dated July 10. Last year it was listed at $270K then taken off market for a bit. Unreal.
The other day I was listening to that Bare Naked Ladies classic, 'If I had $1000000.' He sings, 'I would buy you a house.' WHERE? Far too many places, that's nowhere near enough.
His campaign is also restrained from prime venues for stiffing the moron's last time. There are some 30 municipalities in key swing states that won't let him fuck em again until he unfucks em from last time.
That's never going to happen. For trump to pay someone after he got out of not-paying them initially?
Some arena should take his money but then schedule a punk band on the same day and tell him he needs to reschedule because of "Unforeseen conflicts" as outlined in the agreement he signed.
Can someone please explain this Reek thing to me? Really, I'm not understanding it. Is this some popular culture thing the kids are all doing these days?
It's a reference to 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴, when a fairly important character got captured by another one and was transformed from Theon Greyjoy into "Reek". The nickname is in reference to how Jan Psaki reduced him to an utter joke, which is after all his natural state.
"Trump aired one of his more bizarre grievances during an interview with Spanish-language network Univision Tuesday night.
During a now-familiar refrain on immigration, the Republican nominee paused while making a point about the border crisis being “caused because of Harris.”
“Kamala, you know, Harris,” he clarified. “Nobody knows her last name. It's Harris now. Everyone thinks of her as Kamala. So it's Kamala Harris, but it's because of her and Biden.”
Exactly what Trump's railing at is unclear. But the enthusiasm that has greeted the Harris campaign has led some supporters to use a mononym, a device typically reserved for celebrities such as Madonna, and he probably doesn't like that."
Every new thing he learns, he proudly announces it, along with the side note of "no one ever knew this (or heard of this) before!" - like he's some brilliant scholar who just discovered something amazing. Like who Frederick Douglass was.
"So it's Kamala Harris, but it's because of her and Biden."
She's a former Senator (Harris) and she's the VP (Harris)...what do we think her last name is and why does it matter? This question going to the person who's called himself The Donald (no last name).
I’m about 99% convinced that like his confusion about “asylum” being “mental asylum”, hence all of the Hannibal Lecter references, he also believes “Visa” means “credit card”
Leland Sklar on bass and ASL.
I still can't get over O'Donnelly's side by side of the press screaming at Karine vs them sitting quietly and respectively for TFG's presser.

OK, this is OT, but a must-read; Vogue story about Scout, the Walz dog.

"I'm doin trump!"
Have at it.
Thank you for making me SMILE bigly.
He was talkin crowds as he was illegally voting today in Florida as a convicted felon.
Not sure on Florida law but it stands to reason.
RFK, Jr is off the ballot in NY. How will he bear up? My guess is he fights doggedly in court and worms his way back in.

With a giant flyswatter.
With Hunter Bidens huge dong.
I could never do that job. “OK, Poopyhead, your question?”
Honestly, he deserves to be called that. I guess his father is feeding him those stupid questions. I don't know how Ms. Jean-Pierre has the patience. I would be bitch-slapping those people left and right.
I would pay money to watch her do it too!
Inflation is coming down. So why does it feel like it’s going back up? Here’s what you need to know about reverse vibes.

Plus, Airbnb also fucked the supply.
Gen Xer here.

Yep, and lots of folks say they can't get okayed for a mortgage where their monthly would be lower than their current rents.
The insurance and stuff adds a bunch to the monthly, We put in a big down payment hoping we could end up buying for a little less than we were renting, but it didn't pan out here on the Gulf coast. We pay a little more even after putting in a huge down.
How fucking stupid. :(
Housing is fucked, and I have lots of empathy for millennials on down who statistically have it worse than other demographics.
Hang in there. Hopefully a breaking point will come.

Jesus.
It is exactly the same here where I live. Single wides for no less than $150k. PLUS SPACE RENTS.
The other day I was listening to that Bare Naked Ladies classic, 'If I had $1000000.' He sings, 'I would buy you a house.' WHERE? Far too many places, that's nowhere near enough.
Doocy complaining about lack of press conferences by Harris.
"My dad made me ask."
"Peter, does this look like Kamala HQ to you? You're asking the wrong person, as usual."
"If you're not going to behave like actual journalists, I'll get the same effect by posting on tik-tok for less aggravation."
And that's something that should be addressed during a WH presser why?
Because Hunter Biden, that's why.
Trump relegated to the "baby" arena in Ashville.
Less than 2500 people, while the larger arena there seats a little more than 10K.
Bet he still doesn't fill it.
His campaign is also restrained from prime venues for stiffing the moron's last time. There are some 30 municipalities in key swing states that won't let him fuck em again until he unfucks em from last time.
That's never going to happen. For trump to pay someone after he got out of not-paying them initially?
Works against every fiber of his being.
I assume the baby arena is cheaper, and he's being forced to pay cash up front now, because he doesn't pay his bills.
Some arena should take his money but then schedule a punk band on the same day and tell him he needs to reschedule because of "Unforeseen conflicts" as outlined in the agreement he signed.
There's that Butthead clone Douchey asking dumbass questions again. Why do they let that jerk attend these things at all?
is there a law somewhere that says they always have to take his questions?
I've sure wondered that.
Comic relief?
Steve, grab your bag of diks on the way out. It's got your name on it already.
The subhuman that is Reek just can't help himself.
Can someone please explain this Reek thing to me? Really, I'm not understanding it. Is this some popular culture thing the kids are all doing these days?
It's a reference to 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴, when a fairly important character got captured by another one and was transformed from Theon Greyjoy into "Reek". The nickname is in reference to how Jan Psaki reduced him to an utter joke, which is after all his natural state.
He also comes to rely on the character that totures him, so it's a character study in abject humiliation.
"He was transformed..."
And it only involved having his genitalia cut off and mailed home to Pappy.
OK, gotcha.
Oh well, if *Axios* says so...
I love how irritated the press appears to be about the social clout of influencers.
'They're taking the attention we used to get away from us!'
HuffPo: Trump: 'Nobody Knows' Harris's Last Name
"Trump aired one of his more bizarre grievances during an interview with Spanish-language network Univision Tuesday night.
During a now-familiar refrain on immigration, the Republican nominee paused while making a point about the border crisis being “caused because of Harris.”
“Kamala, you know, Harris,” he clarified. “Nobody knows her last name. It's Harris now. Everyone thinks of her as Kamala. So it's Kamala Harris, but it's because of her and Biden.”

She's the equivalent of Clint Eastwood's character in them there spaghetti westerns?
Whenever Trump says "nobody knows" about anything, he really means he never knew it until just now.
Every new thing he learns, he proudly announces it, along with the side note of "no one ever knew this (or heard of this) before!" - like he's some brilliant scholar who just discovered something amazing. Like who Frederick Douglass was.
'Frederick who now?'
- TFG
Priming the pump, that pimp past his prime
Hell, most of that stuff he STILL doesn't know, he's just being a parrot (though without the intelligence.)
Dear PAB, Everyone knows her name. FUCK OFF. Insincerely, Rosy
Say, what's your running mate's name?
Her name has been Harris since the day she was born.
Nobody.
Knows.
Her last name.
"So it's Kamala Harris, but it's because of her and Biden."
She's a former Senator (Harris) and she's the VP (Harris)...what do we think her last name is and why does it matter? This question going to the person who's called himself The Donald (no last name).
“And I’m not a fan of that Minnesota guy Harris Walz”

Once I saw the idea of "asylum vs insane asylum" it just made sense.
"Probably"
