That....is about as savage as it fucking gets.  From one of the most popular living Americans.  Who is part of a display happening on a global stage, in front of a record-sized American audience (that MAGA olympics boycott ain't working out so well), demonstrating for the "DEI is our code word for the N-word!" crowd that....diversity is our strength.  Shit, just yesterday, the United States of Fucking America took gold and bronze in the women's all-around, and the competition ended with a black American and a Korean American joyfully and  PROUDLY parading around the arena with an American flag. 

THAT is America.  THAT is the reality, and the good and simple vision, that is on the table this election.  Do you want jubilant Americans of all stripes working for and celebrating this country, or do you want angry fundagelical white assholes inflicting pain on everyone else?

Simone's the fucking GOAT.  MAGA can get fucked.

Hate to even think about it for fear of the jinx, but man I’m still amazed at the sudden burst of enthusiasm to squash the whole right wing conservative movement right now.  I’ve been burned before (electing Biden over Trump II, Jan 6, felony convictions, etc)…but this feels different because of the sheer diversity across the US public that are talking about it / donating / Zoom calls.  

I feared we were going to sleepwalk into Project 2025, Michigan vs App State-style.  Really hope that it’s “Ball State leading Alabama 7-0 start of the second quarter” instead.  

The vibe is more like the Obama vibe than I expected.  It's energized, and it has something to fight for, and against.  Truly, imagine if term limits weren't a thing, and Obama could run again...and imagine an Obama v. Trump race in 2024.  That's the kind of energy were talking about....except it may be even more than that, because women.

I very much expect and fear this will happen.  And it will be good for something like a +2 to Trump's numbers.

I love Biden. He's a better POTUS today than Kamala or Trump could ever hope to be. He'll be a better POTUS than those two tomorrow, next week, next month and probably until the day age no longer allows it. But the simple fact of the matter is he could no longer win this race -- and he did an amazing thing by stepping aside when he did and how he did it. It's absolutely amazing. My entire outlook on this country turned on an absolute dime on 7/21.

 

I agree. It will take something along the lines of Biden's debate performance to stop her. Trump and his merry band of miscreants will do a lot of illegal shit trying to steal her rightful win, though.

I mean, I'm willing to give Harris a chance to be a better presdient before I pronounce her inferior to Biden...but yeah, the guy is great.

Yep.  This was always going to happen for whichever side pulled their head out of their ass first and offered a non-octogenarian

The Biden people did some wide ranging focus groups a few months ago.  (Polls can be shit but, if done right, focus groups are good.)

They found that a decent amount of people who were both undecided or even committed to either Trump or Biden would instantly bail if one side just offered up someone younger and different and they didn't really care who it was.  They also found that Biden was winning like 80% of the undecideds so there's that.

Much of what Peggy Noonan wrote above is sensible, well-written, and accurate.  But by the end, she falls into the trap of many of my now-Democrat-supporting friends (former, moderate republicans), who want to discuss comparative policy when republicans haven't run on policy in years (although Project 2025 is their policy, Trump's campaign is disavowing it . . . unless he somehow wins). 

 

Donald Trump is not a serious candidate; he is a serious threat.  Peggy isn't dumb by any means.  She's just longing for civil discourse, which hasn't existed in some time.

I'm tempted to go look at what she had to say about Atwater and Gingrich. If she wanted civil discourse she should have said something about it back then. 

Did she have a problem with Cheney telling Leahy to fuck off?

Nah, she doesn't get off that easy. You made the monster. Because it's uncomfortable and tawdry now you don't get a pass when Atwater taught you how to whistle.

Time to pay the piper. 

Peggy Noonan sucks and has always sucked.

Remember that time, I think it was Kelly Anne Conway, went on 60 minutes with a huge binder that was supposedly "their healthcare plan"? But it wasn't. Just a bunch of random documents. I think that's the one where Trump got pissed and walked out of the interview.

Ah, good times.

I first saw President Reagan as a foot, highly polished brown cordovan wagging merrily on a hassock. I spied it through the door. It was a beautiful foot, sleek. Such casual elegance and clean lines! But not a big foot, not formidable, maybe a little ...frail. I imagined cradling it in my arms, protecting it from unsmooth roads

Trump goes on unintelligible rant: “Google, nobody called from Google. One of the things like doing a show like yours, your show, you know, you see it on Fox, but when you really see it is all over the place, they take clips of your show that you're doing right now with me and if I do a good job, they're gonna vote for me, they're gonna vote for me because it's not just on Fox, it's on Fox is a smaller part of it. You're on all over this, those little beautiful cell phones you're on, you're all over the place. You have a product, you have a great product. You have a great brand. So you have to get out, you have to get out, you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad. They've been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google is gonna be close to shut down”

"Folks, let me tell you about this mirror, it's a total disaster. It's being held up by a woman, and I'm telling you, she's not exactly a 10, if you know what I mean. Nobody wants to look at her, believe me. But the mirror, it's a big league problem. It breaks, folks, it breaks if anyone looks into it. Can you believe it? It's like it's allergic to success, to good looks, to winners.

"I mean, I've seen some bad mirrors in my day, but this one takes the cake. It's weak, it's pathetic, it's a total loser. And the woman holding it up, she's just as bad. Nobody wants to look at her, nobody wants to deal with her. It's like she's got the plague or something.

"But let me tell you, folks, we can make mirrors great again. We can build a mirror that's so strong, so powerful, that it'll never break. And we'll make the ugly women pay for it, mark my words."

"Really a lot of the health problems in this country are mental. And the mental will be much better with me as President. People are much happier when I'm President. The mental will be very good, maybe the best it's ever been. You won't even have to go to the doctor. Doctor visits will go way, way down."

I didn't say she was awesome.  I said she isn't dumb. She was a shil for the right for far too long to be sure.  But if she's written a bunch of pro-Trump drivel, I haven't seen it.  But I don't tend to read conservative clippings.

Something I've thought about for years as a native Texan. How do Texans keep falling for guys like this? They go down to the valley for a photo op in clothes that still have the package folds, they look scared every time they hold a gun, they hold their fishing rods wrong, hands softer than the average rancher's wife...one look at them and you can tell they're a phony.

Wait, at the end of that nonsense... did Trump threaten to shut down Google?

Tin Foil hat time:

I suspect Putin kicked off the attach in Israel (via Hamas/Iran) precisely to drive a wedge into the Democrats/US politics, putting his Orange Idiot back in the white house.  It threatens arms and support for Ukraine, puts stress on western munitions supplies, and causes discord in the Democratic party over support for Israel.    So don't be Putin's little bitch about this, MMMK?

 

The theory makes sense but I don't see how Putin could have coordinated with Hamas without being detected.
