Interesting and fun historical fact that Lobo would appreciate (RIP 😪)

Only once in US history has a President, their VP and their VP's VP all been elected president - Washington, then his VP Adams, and then his VP Jefferson.  Which was under the old system where the VPs were elected separately. 

Eisenhower, his VP Nixon and then his VP Ford all served as president, but we know Ford was not elected.

We have a chance to do it again - Obama, his VP Biden, and his VP Harris. 

Harris is simply bringing home and solidifying the Obama coalition.

Attacking Trump isn't going to win this election.  Highlighting the Harris/Walz character, competence, and vision will.

Belittling him will likely win the election with this electorate. 

I don't know why you would waste time highlighting the character of someone running against this piece of shit.

I think you have run some ads really calling him out.

Like one that just says who wants an old, senile, hateful, racist, rapist, felon, weird, con man as President. While showing a bunch of imagery of the above in the background.

Over. And over. And over. And over.

But what do I know.

I think they could tap Adam McKay and Brian Cox to make a spot reminding voters that Trump is a moron.

Reminding voters that he can't keep them safe, he wouldn't have cared about COVID if it had struck in 2017 or 2018, the only serious person he had advising him on COVID was a holdover from previous administrations, and Trump ran him off.

A montage of all the clowns he appointed, and all the clowns he wants to appoint.

When there's a serious situation, America needs serious people. These are not serious people.

Most of it goes into the pockets of consultants if you're not independently wealthy and funding things yourself. That's where the big money is. If you can start your own Mayes Media, Murphy Nasica, etc and win you'll be rolling in the dough 

The R side seems to have a particular problem with it because a fish rots from the head down.

This is beyond sad. Like, “JD Vance trying to interact with normal humans” sad. 

 

They had their reporter all mic'd up for the big gotcha question and you can see on his face the moment he realized she kicked his fat ass.

He's still going to brag about this to his buddies at the bar tonight like it's his greatest journalistic achievement.

I agree.  Not doing this is like running the ball over and over against 2023 UT defense and refusing to test the secondary.

Did y'all catch what Trump was saying near the end of this clip? Talking about two flags that blew together and formed a "perfect angel" at the Butler rally? 

I just looked it up. 

 

The guy is completely out of his mind. JFC. 

 

Lucifer was an angel

Good thing he always pays his lawyers on time and as agreed.

Was the angel a result of the soul of the guy who died going to heaven, or was Diaper Don making it all about himself?

It would not shock me in the slightest if the Supreme Court ruled that all RFK votes in all states should be added to the Trump vote counts.  Plus 10% extra votes just cause people may have been confused by the ballot.  Fox News will then say this is the right thing to do and CNN will try and play neutral on it except Scott Jennings who will cry about how great the Supreme Court is to do something so bold.

Worth mentioning that 3 current Supreme Court justices took part in the Brooks Brothers riot: Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Roberts. 

edit - they worked on the legal side of the bid to gift the election to Bush but the part about the riot is...

I know they were involved in the Bush v. Gore lawsuit but I never heard that they were involved in the riot.

What is 1LT McCain doing with sergeant's stripes.  And why isn't he in the US Navy?  McCain is USN royalty.

ETA:  Well, he's been in the Army for 17 years, so mustang, I guess, albeit a very slow one.  What a fuckup given the family pedigree.

fucking lunacy that all these never trumpers just pretend that shit they said  years ago didnt happen. Even  crazier that Vance somehow was chosen as Trumps running mate with those many statements on record. And complete batshit crazy that  it doesnt bother a  single  republican. Yet here we are.

I was curious about this too. Based on this info I think he just did things the hard way by enlisting in the Marine Corps right out of high school.

Trump's right. Don't need anything to come across his desk.

Enforce Comstock. It's on page 243 of Project 2025, the plan Trump's never heard of.

Lyndon Johnson and the "Johnson Treatment"

Black and white photo of Lyndon Johnson leaning his head and starring intently at Theodore Green, who is backing away Lyndon Johnson and Theodore Green / George Tames, 1957 /

In 1955, with only seven years of seniority, Johnson was elected Senate majority leader. Through his successful courting of the “old bulls” of the “southern caucus,” particularly Richard Russell of Georgia, Johnson controlled the agenda of the Senate as no majority leader has before or since.

Another element of his mastery was the “Johnson treatment,” as displayed here with Senator Theodore Green of Rhode Island. Newspaper columnist Mary McGrory described it as “an incredible, potent mixture of persuasion, badgering, flattery, threats, reminders of past favors and future advantages”; Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee recalled feeling that “a St. Bernard had licked your face for an hour, [and] had pawed you all over”; and Hubert Humphrey described it as a “tidal wave.” Johnson’s most notable victory as majority leader was the passage of the 1957 Civil Rights Act, the first such legislation since Reconstruction.

Rachael Penman of the National Museum of Crime and Punishment discussed this photograph by George Tames, along with other images of Lyndon Johnson, at a Face-to-Face portrait talk. The 1957 photograph is on view at the National Portrait Gallery, in the exhibition “Presidents in Waiting” on the museum’s second floor.
