  1. He suggested ingesting bleach to cure COVID. On TV, he bragged about how he suggested that to doctors. He is really that fucking stupid.
  2. In Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes, they defeat evil by laughing at it. This campaign keeps reminding me of that book.
  3. This, despite the Republicans having a filibuster proof majority. Too many Omahan Republicans want to be relevant nationally. It may be last bastion of local political interests outweighing national party goals. But the redistricting after 2020 moved it a few points red. Still doable with a Biden 2020 vote, but more challenging.
  4. Paraphrasing her from years ago “we need to get away from the ‘soft on crime’ or ‘tough on crime’ mindsets. We need to be ‘smart on crime.” The Vox piece talks about how, being the daughter of a scientist, she had reams of data why she favored certain policies. But, it was still a political atmosphere where using the “top cop” mantle was advantageous, and she leaned into it. So there is some political rhetoric which hasn’t aged that well. But I am not hearing anything from the left that indicates anyone is actually that worried about it. It’s almost exclusively Republicans looking for divisions.
  5. I thought Chicanos specifically identified with their Native American background. They reject Latino and Hispanic labels because both terms are European based. iIRC, most Caribbean-Latino groups don’t have much native heritage because disease wiped out those populations.
  6. Vivek is about to get a nickname from Trump.
  7. You can tell he is really digging into the policies that matter to most Americans.
  8. It seems like Ivanka is sitting this one out. Hope Hicks testified against Trump. Does Trump have anyone he trusts? Anyone who doesn't have a penis, regardless of size? Neither Ivanka or Hope had any qualifications to be advising the President of the United States, but they were both saner than Trump.
  9. I think they hired Swam as a political analyst. Explains a lot.
  10. I'm 52. I got a yard sign. I thought he was a great speaker. I don't remember this rate of donations, registrations, volunteer sign-ups, etc.. I don't recall the crowds as being as animated. Granted, I was raising a kid and not following politics daily, so maybe that's the difference.
  11. I know people keep comparing the current environment to Obama 2008. Did Obama really have this much energy behind him? No knock on Barack; I know this is all part Kamala and part the terror of a second Trump presidency. But, I don't recall this level of excitement. Ever.
  12. It's not in the public domain. I think Celine needs to be dead for like 50 years before the copyright expires. (She only looks like she's been dead for a while.) But, to your point, assuming the rally wasn't charging fees, I don't think there is much an artist can do about controlling where it gets played.
  13. And, that is at least the second time they hit a Mexican restaurant in Arizona, taking pictures with the Latino staff. It's a great way to reframe the discussion on immigrants. It also doesn't hurt in Nevada and the importance on the hospitality sector.
  14. Will Politico publish them? I assume Hillary's [the DNC's] went to Wikileaks because most news agencies wouldn't publish them, unless someone else does.
  15. They have an interest in having a good relationship with the next President. Right now, that is increasingly looking like Harris.
  16. MAGA dies when enough Republicans decide it's dead. At some point, non-MAGA Republicans need to take over the party, despite losing MAGAts. If they lose badly enough, then the damage from keeping MAGA will prove to be more than the damage from rejecting MAGA. That is my hope, one that seemed impossible a month ago.
  17. Ok. So probably had the ritzy fundraiser scheduled first. Flight gets delay, you're way late to the fundraiser, you have a choice, and you chose a handful of rich people over an arena of commoners.
  18. Are they suggesting he diverted to Billings for a quick, high priced fundraiser, leaving 1000s of his poor supporters waiting for him for hours at a stadium? That is just so on-brand. I almost have to respect it. His fans deserve to be treated that way. ...Big Sky seems pretty far away from Billings, so not sure if that work.
  19. Yeah, but Trump is fucking Batman to these people. He is wealthy enough to live in a big mansion in the scary city, fighting crimes and immigrants to protect the few remaining good people of Gotham. He conquered the city. They think it makes him tough.
  20. Shit, somebody forgot the drum roll. It wouldn't have been really funny with a drumroll. That way people would have noticed it was a joke.
  21. Playing Freddy Mercury. God I wish I believed in vengeful spirits.
  22. They are saying “cities are scary.” It’s a core, central tenet of the cult. Minneapolis is scary.
  23. Vox dropped a video on Harris. Nice little catch-me-up. Feeling pretty excited.
  24. Holy shit! Did they nuke another one of his rallies?!? Is that why he pulled out?
