I'm sure the can't win progressives will cry like the little bitches they are about her shutting down the protestors. Frankly, they can get fucked. The person you're protesting can help make things a lot better for Gaza if you'd shut the fuck up and get out of the way.

Wanna bet?
Yeah, that's not happening. I would love if it did, but it's not.

Not to mention shes actually one of the only people in the entire government actually calling for people to listen to palestinians. She *agrees* with the protestors. More likely, those people were republican plants, tbh.

I think it's been posted, but it could stand being repeated.

Harris is also now winning independents, something Biden was not doing. Harris is up 9 points with independents (53%-44%). She was down 14 points with them last month. And in early July, Trump was beating Biden by 4 points with the group.

Harris has also improved with white voters overall. Harris has gone from 40% with white voters overall to 46% in this survey, which is closer to where Biden was, and that’s very high for a Democrat. In fact, no Democrat has scored that high with white voters in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Biden got 41% in 2020, Barack Obama in 2008 won 43%.

That improvement is mostly because of college-educated white women. White voters without degrees, a core Trump base group, are heavily in Trump’s favor and their margin is unchanged. Two-thirds of college-educated white women, though, are now in Harris’ camp, which would be far higher than the percentage that sided with Biden in 2020.

My dad is a veteran and never saw combat. He was an aircraft mechanic in the airforce, worked on all sorts of planes in vietnam. Fuck JD Vance if he thinks my dad wasn't a real vet because he didn't go to live combat.

edit: suffice to say, my dad thinks JD Vance is a fucking idiot and is 100% aboard Team Kamala.

My dad fixed airplane radio equipment in Germany for the Air Force in the mid-60's. He's pretty damn proud of his service, as am I.

My dad went from oldest of 14 pulled from school at grade 6 to go work as a janitor to help feed the family, to architect, entirely on his own. Never even finished highschool, he joined the airforce to get his GED. Later put himself through night school while doing construction for 15 years while simultaneously raising a family. My dad is still the single best source of car knowledge -- my blind spot -- that I know, because he rebuilt engines in Nam. He also forbade any of his kids from joining the military, he said he had served so nobody else in the family needed to.

I'm damn proud of his record and what he did with his chance, but my dad also thinks that making such a big deal about serving and "stolen valor" is stupid. He said it was just a job, not an identity.

Reminds me of "The Wire", where Police Major Bunny Colvin is speaking at the assembly and getting heckled, and the black woman comes in and the kids all go "oh shit".   "Walter, I  know your mother...she didn't raise any CLOWNS, did she?"   Kid shitting his pants "no ma'am".

The only time I ever got detention in highschool was from my black History teacher because I kept wearing my UT ball cap to class every day. She gave me a couple of warnings, then one day I came in and got exactly that tone. She was a very close family friend that we had known since well before I was in school, so it felt exactly like a mom's tone.

My Son was infantry (now a pilot) and saw a lot of combat.  

My GF's son was an Air Force mechanic, never deployed, had/has a bit of a beer belly worked 8 hours a day and went home.   I respect his service too.  Everybody's got a job to do.  My kid can't fly a combat mission if somebody doesn't fuel his Apache, and...wash the fucking windshield.    If you served honorably, you served honorably.   

We don't need everybody to be Audie Murphy. 

Dave Grohl was working (too) hard on an already good song. Somebody said to him (Rick Rubin?) "hey Dave, every song doesn't have to be "Imagine"

I need to rewatch Veep.

6 hours ago, Ghost of LL said:

I think it's a lot simpler than that.  He's scared.

And I actually don't really blame him for that.  Less than a month ago, he came within a few inches of having his head blown off.  I don't think it's particularly surprising if that was in his brain when thinking about whether to do another rally.

He only does the rallies for fun, anyway.  I'm not saying that there isn't a campaign benefit associated with a candidate's rally, but that's not why he does them.  He does them because he thinks they're fun.  But worrying about getting shot in the fucking head isn't very fun.  And if they're not fun anymore, then he's not going to do them.

I heard this via some in the weeds election podcast at some point in the last couple months, so no link, but evidently there is some research that indicates that outside of specific circumstances - mainly, holding rallies in competitive/purple areas - there actually isn't much polling/electoral performance impact.

But in general I agree with you. MAGA is melting down. Rallies are far from glorious at this point and Trump has had a lot more time to sit around think about the attempt on his life than when he had to turn right around into the convention.

I visited my brother on the flight line ( USAF captain rank at the time) and he introduced me to his Chief Master Sergeant; we all knew who had the utmost respect of everyone in that squadron. Thankfully my brother is the most humble person you will ever meet and raised up those leaders on his team but that NCO ran the show. 

I thought about rewatching Veep, but I’ll wait until the real life version ends.

Trying to sue your way back into the White House doesn't work if you get your ass blown out in most of the states. He's also slipping in the polls so he can't pull his bullshit of how "I was winning in the polls, how could I be losing at the ballot box without rigged elections". Kamala and Walz need to bring the pain so he'll drop out like the craven cunt he is. He doesn't want to suffer the indignity of a black....err Indian woman kicking his ass. I think he's so upset that getting shot at didn't hand him the White House. He really thought he was destined to win after that. Then people remembered just how much of a piece of shit he really is. 

Trump really needs that judge in New York to put him in jail in early September. That's his only remaining play to both save face, drop out, or get some sympathy points. 

Bullneck fantasy fiction/ Trump will get on Trump Force 1 with a full tank of gas and head to Venezuela, then Hungary, and then finally to the mother ship in Russia. /Bullneck fantasy fiction

BTW, this ain't the couch fucker's first go-round attacking somebody's service record.  

Here, he attacks a guy that nearly lost his arm in 'Nam (and saw his buddies die face down in the mud) and then led the invasion of Iraq.

I'll add to this conversation about war combat. My dad was drafted out of UT law school in '70 to go to Vietnam. Since he had a degree, he was given a desk job in Saigon. Didn't see action on the front lines, but his entire hotel was blown to bits by a VC kid on a bicycle. My dad was down the street when it happened but lost a handful of friends. Later he would get a nasty intestinal bug and had to be med flighted back to the states. He always said he would never complain about that being that the guys on that plane with him were in way worse shape than him. He was always shy about talking about his tour and never wanted people to think of him as a vet since he wasn't in the jungle getting shot at, but he still fucking served and did his duty, and almost died for it. JV Vance can lick my dad's taint.

I should add that my dad has been a yellow dog Texas democrat his whole adult life. He owns more guns than 99% of these losers and grew up running cattle in Jack County. When the AR shit got popular and the gun nuts tried to argue that they were great for hog killing, my dad told me "if you can't kill a hog with a deer rifle, then you have no business owning land in Texas."

Man, tell me about it. It got quiet at my house when she said that. My daughter even stopped talking. My mom has since passed but I keep a stern looking pic of her just to make sure I am good on the daily. Nothing motivates you midweek better than looking up and seeing a pic of your mom with the same look on her face she had when you were a kid and didn't have the dishes done when she got home.

That's funny. I have actually worked with her on several projects for the College Board. She is an absolutely brilliant woman who I really admire and respect. She's also extremely kind and professional. But, yep, I can imagine what happens when she gets angry, and I would definitely not want to make her angry.
