  1. Y’all can have Dallas’ turncoat mayor.
  2. Then why won’t Trump simply own something that is tailor made for him?
  3. These successful negotiations serve only to underscore the importance of global alliances with other democracies. Trump could not have achieved this in a hundred years.
  4. I think her more nuanced views on health care have been mischaracterized: https://abc7chicago.com/post/kamala-harris-on-health-care/15084363/ Harris has previously expressed support for a single-payer health care system, sometimes referred to as "Medicare for All." Although she initially indicated during a 2019 presidential campaign debate that she would support eliminating private health insurance, Harris walked back her support and instead unveiled her own health care plan. It called for expanding Medicare access to all Americans and setting up a 10-year transition period that would automatically enroll newborns and the uninsured, allowing doctors time to enter the system and help employers choose from federally designated programs. The plan also preserves a role for private insurance companies, allowing Americans the option to obtain health insurance through the public Medicare plan or through a Medicare plan offered by a private insurer.
  5. She’s pretty damn good if she could trick black law students at Hastings into voting her president of their organization. And how the hell did she finagle her way into the Congressional Black Caucus?
  6. Well, Einstein genius and scholar, Melania obviously got a pass after slithering around naked on her way to the White House.
  7. This “ she ain’t black” line of attack has to be the most ill conceived, dumbest, tone deaf political tactic ever. Who does he think will buy this bullshit?
  8. She said all that to say that what happened to Sonya Massey at the hands of police should never happen.
  9. Recognition of the fact among poor and working class people of all ethnicities that they have more in common than not, would be the death knell for Trump’s brand of divisive politics.
  10. I would love to see working class and poor people organize a call upon which they could make it clear to the Harris campaign that their voices, hopes and dreams matter. They may not be able to raise cash but they can spread hope and encourage those in their orbit to become informed participants in the political process at all levels.
  11. If we look closely, it appears Trump may have reached his ceiling as he consistently hovers around 47% among likely voters. If after choreographing his convention, choosing his VP running mate and surviving an assassination attempt, he doesn’t even get a bump, the future does not look bright for him.
  12. Regarding the sausage pics with Kamala, it’s important to let the certain kind white men who wanna go there, know, that black men are here for it: https://boingboing.net/2024/07/29/rev-terry-anderson-passionately-supports-kamala-harris-for-president.html
  13. That’s because the border didn’t become a problem in 3 months or 3 years even. It’s been a problem that Congress refuses to address for the most craven of political purposes.
  14. I’m hearing the Dems are planning to devote one night of the DNC to Trump’s crime spree. They might need to re-think this. I’m not sure one night will be enough to tell the whole story.
  15. Included in Kamala’s first 100 days should be a plan to get 13 justices for 13 circuits. If we don’t, P2025 will .
  16. Here’s an analysis of prayers offered at Trump rallies. Interesting but not surprising:
  17. The architect of the Leo Court, Leonard Leo, is big mad about Biden’s proposals: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/supreme-court/3102762/leonard-leo-biden-supreme-court-reforms-apply-congress-too/# In a statement, Leo said if Biden and Democrats were “truly serious” about ethics reform, they would call for bans on “all gifts and hospitality of any kind to any public official in any branch of government,” including Congress, where he said “the real corruption is.” “Let me be clear: If Democrats want to adopt an across the board ethics ban for all branches, I am in favor of that: no jets, no meals, no speaking honorariums, no gifts for anyone from anyone for any reason in any branch, starting with Congress. Until they support that, let’s all be honest about what this is: a campaign to destroy a court that they disagree with,” Leo said in a statement obtained by the Washington Examiner.
  18. Amos Brown is no way near radical as is Robert Jeffress. I’ve worshipped at Third Baptist. it is a progressive mostly silk stocking church deeply rooted in the prophetic preaching tradition of the black church. He didn’t say anything that wasn’t repeated in thousands of black churches in the aftermath of 9/11.
  19. Haven’t heard a lot about the border crisis lately. I wonder why?
