  1. Biden must summon the courage to use the considerable he has to force a cease fire. This won’t be precedent setting: https://www.axios.com/2024/05/13/us-presidents-red-lines-israel Other U.S. presidents have also threatened to withhold aid from Israel. Dwight Eisenhower During the Suez Crisis of the 1950s, then-President Dwight Eisenhower leveraged the threat of sanctions to convince Israel to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula, per AP. In 1953, the Eisenhower administration also temporarily delayed $26 million in funding to Israel over its construction of a hydroelectric project on the Jordan River. Ronald Reagan Back in 1981, former President Ronald Reagan indefinitely delayed two shipments of F-16 fighter jets to Israel over the ''escalating level of violence'' in the Middle East. The following year, the Reagan administration warned Congress that Israel might have violated its arms agreement with the U.S. by using American-made weapons during its invasion of Lebanon, the New York Times reported. In 1983, Reagan reaffirmed that he would not send F-16 jets to Israel until Israel withdrew its forces from Lebanon. "While these forces are in the position of occupying another country that now has asked them to leave, we are forbidden by law to release those planes,' he said. In 1992, the Bush administration threatened to withhold the delivery of $10 billion in loan guarantees to Israel if it continued building settlements in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, the Washington Post reported.
  2. It would be hilarious were it not so serious. Is this karma from drumming Thomas Eagleton and Howard Dean out for their “transgressions”?
  3. Americans need to start demanding a safe county wherein we can pursue happiness in relative peace. It’s every bit as much our right as carrying guns every damn where.
  4. This is a Trump quote from an appearance with Moms for Liberty. Think of it, your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation,” Trump falsely claimed, misrepresenting the complex and highly regulated process of gender-affirming health care for minors in the United States. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child. And many of these childs, 15 years later say, what the hell happened? Who did this to me? They say, who did this to me? It’s incredible,” Trump said.
  5. Never forget how congregants yelled USA, USA, USA on Christmas Sunday following a political address given by Trump during his last visit to FBD.
  6. Until we acknowledge that guns are a problem, things will only get worse.
  7. I watched some of Walz’s speech today, and in a folksy way, he is compelling and persuasive.
  8. What will the MAGAs do when forced to pay $9 for a head of lettuce?
  9. Allred’s voting record is more progressive than Pete Aguilar, Jim Clyburn and Jared Moskowitz. Let’s not get crazy here.
  10. Sent this exchange to his campaign. Hope it helps.
  11. Why? They aren’t voting for him.
  12. Harris should embed their ad in one of hers with the tagline, “I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message.”
  13. Over butter biscuit Eric Johnson’s dead body.
  14. Spoke with an East Texas community organizer just this week who was lamenting the fact that Allred has not stepped one foot in the Eastern multi county area that is home to over 340,000 black resident who vote Democratic when they vote. He notes their numbers eclipsed those of black voters living in Bexar and Travis counties combined. Ignoring these voters could be the difference in winning and losing for Allred.
  15. Looks like Corey is in his ear. Not the one that was nearly blown off, according to Eric. The good ear: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/28/us/politics/trump-truth-social-posts.html Former President Donald J. Trump used his social-media website on Wednesday to amplify a crude remark about Vice President Kamala Harris that suggested Ms. Harris traded sexual favors to help her political career. The post, by another user on Truth Social, was an image of Ms. Harris and Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump’s opponent in 2016. The text read: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…” The remark was a reference to Mrs. Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, and the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and a right-wing contention that Ms. Harris’s romantic relationship with Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco whom she dated in the mid-1990s while he was speaker of the California State Assembly, fueled her political rise. Mr. Trump’s repost was the second time in 10 days that the former president shared content from his personal account making sexually oriented attacks on Ms. Harris. Though he has a history of making crass insults about his opponents, the reposts signal Mr. Trump’s willingness to continue to shatter longstanding norms of political speech
  16. It’s clear Rafael is concerned. His latest ad has Colin claiming some wall is racist. He knows what gets his base all lathered.
  17. She needs a job.
  18. She’s a magna cum laude graduate from a top ranked law school. She’s not dumb. She’s completely and wholly compromised.
  19. He, Mike Gundy and Dabo Sweeney should start a PAC.
  20. He just made it easier for coaches to recruit against him. I celebrate his honesty and stupidity.
  21. Well! Look who’s entered the chat?
  22. It almost happened once and could happen again: https://www.history.com/news/electoral-college-nearly-abolished-thurmond and the National Popular Vote interstate Compact could happen as well: https://apnews.com/article/maine-national-popular-vote-compact-2a345dc04d7e3937c4857577523a3a11
  23. He’s getting ready to bail on the debate.
  24. That’s to keep the Texags posters tuning in hoping that he will say something negative about liberals
  25. Yormark is the perfect commissioner in this era of college football that has the potential to be an unadulterated shit show.
