The Dog

Transcript: Money quotes: How novel! Decrease abortions by enacting ACTUAL "pro family" policies! This would require a pretty big shift in how the GOP views things, unfortunately.

"However, the Russian government and state-affiliated businessmen are opposed to mobilization, as it would deplete the economy of its remaining labor resources." Shit is hitting the fan in Moscow if true.

It wasn't - it's become a rallying cry and it was totally organic. Never seen anything like it. I think the "we're not going back" thing is a good pushback to the GOP. It's a chance to flip the narrative from the GOP being able to say "we can make it better" to the Democrats being able to say "no, they will make it worse - and they wrote a book on how they will do it (Project 2025)." The GOP wrote down exactly how they plan to govern and a lot of it is very unpopular. That said, wet blanket time for the Democrats: The Democrats have a lot of momentum right now, but inflation and a tighter job market still loom large over everyone's lives. Yes, gouging is a thing and so is corporate greed, but all the average person knows is things are more expensive and it's harder to find a job. Inflation has slowed, but things are still more expensive and wages haven't kept up. Those are facts and voters need someone to blame. The Democrats were in the White House as that occurred and there isn't an easy counter like there is on immigration with Trump killing the border bill. The good news for the Democrats is that Trump and many of the GOP candidates are terrible and can't stay on message to save their lives - and it's easy to pull them offsides with psyops like filling their convention arena on the night of the "official" nomination.

FAKE NEWS! I HAD ONE THOUSAND TIMES AS MANY VIEWERS MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! - Trump, probably

word is that the Neris release was about money - he was close to triggering his $9 million guarantee for next year and the Cubs didn't want to pay that so they cut their losses.

only for those of us wonks who get into this stuff. What I'd do: 1. Highlight the worst parts of it that they are most likely to implement; 2. Attach Trump to it (his name is ALL over that document in spite of him lying about not knowing anything about it) - he's also on record as saying he was going to do many of the things documented in it; 3. Blast that all over media until election day.

Maton signed with TB, was crap, then traded to the Mets where he's been a lot better.

Keep in mind that most don't know jack shit about this atrocity. If it's already that far under water with Independents then this thing is DOA - which is why the Democrats' smart play is to make the GOP own it.

and it never will.

remember that they had the votes to 25th amendment him but Pence refused to sign off.

Fortunately they have an out with Trump killing the border bill. "We managed to stem the tide in spite of Trump killing the bill that would have made our jobs easier."

The "circular firing squad" is why I and others didn't want Biden to drop out. I have no doubt that part of Biden's agreement to drop out was that the party rally around Harris. And the Democrats FINALLY did something the Republicans always do - THEY FELL IN LINE. People had to set their ambitions aside for this to work and as others have said - they "understood the assignment." That's the biggest reason this transition has succeeded whether she wins in November or not.
