Body cam footage released today. Cop has been fired and charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Of course it wasn't his body cam that recorded the incident. He didn't turn his on until after he shot the woman in her own home. What was released today was from the officer who also responded to the call that a prowler was at the woman's home. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/22/us/sonya-massey-police-shooting/index.html

Same. I've been in a pretty shitty mood since the debate. The last 24 hours have put all kinds of wind in my sails.

Yeah, I'm seeing "proof of life" stuff too. Maybe we should ask them if they want Kamala as POTUS today or they want us to just wait until Jan 20.

Just saw Tim Burchett interviewed on CNN. He's a special kind of shithead. Called Kamala a DEI hire.

All signs point to Shapiro for me. He checks all the boxes if he wants to do it. I'd love Buttigeg but I think his time is coming later. I guess Cooper makes sense for several reasons. I've been convinced that Kelly needs to remain where he is.

I love this "least qualified" thing that gets bandied about WRT to Kamala Harris. Let's talk about "least qualified" for a second. Kamala went to law school and got her degree. She passed the BAR. She was an Attorney General and US Senator from California. Contrast that to her opponent -- inherited $400M from his dad and blew it all. Has bankrupted at least six businesses. Reinvented himself as a reality TV star. Serial cheater, convicted felon, business/tax cheat and so on and so forth. The other side can take "least qualified" and shove it straight up their asses.

In my previous line of work, I interviewed pro athletes in all the major sports. Baseball players were without a doubt the dumbest and least friendly of them all.

100%

Seems?

My wife cited a stat the other day -- haven't like 40 of Trump's former cabinet members come out and said he's not fit to be POTUS? What exactly are you saying? Biden's immediate endorsement of Kamala is what drove yesterday's donations into the stratosphere and has the party energized like it hasn't been a long, long time.

You haven’t heard of Jasmine Crockett? She’s the one that called MTG “bleach blonde, bad built, butch body” which is now the MTG’s thread title.

Wife and I went to Barsotti's Fine Food & Liqueurs on Friday night. I always liked Carbone's but we hadn't been since the lawsuit with Carbone and re-brand/re-model. I used to enjoy Carbone's quite a bit, especially on half-price wine night on Mondays. It was standard American Italian fare and one of the few places in town that did toasted ravs. Well, I come away less-than-impressed by the Barsotti's. I liked the re-model -- it looks great. Our server wasn't spectacular in that she let us order way to much fucking food. Started with toasted ravs. Wife ordered a salad and the bruschetta app for her main(s). I haven't had veal picatta in a long time and ordered that. I asked if that came with any veggies or anything. I was advised it came with a side of pasta but no veggies. She suggested the broccolini as a side to go with it. Great, sounds good. The bruschetta is three slices of bread with a mountain of tomatoes and other shit on top. It could easily feed a table of six. The veal was OK but swimming in the sauce. Never seen so much sauce on veal piccata. The veal was overly-breaded and a tad greasy-tasting. I like the flour and pan-fry you normally see on veal. Wife wanted dessert so we went with the "light" choice and got the cannoli. It was fine. I had one aperol spritz and wife no longer drinks. Tab was $150+. I really like Barsotti's places for the most part. We adored Sprezza and Fachini is damn good too if you're wanting to blow it out. I'm sure we'll try it again at some point but I'm not in a rush. The fast-casual place I mentioned above (Miss Pasta) runs circles around Barsotti's at a fraction of the cost.

Nice try. No, it doesn’t.

Saw Admiral McRaven’s named tossed out by a Dem friend on social media.

Looks like he’s already been punched in the face a few times

I don’t think they can pivot this fast but I guess we will see. My donation is in!

I was at dinner with my wife and her Trump-ish parents and MAGA brother tonight so I’m way behind. I’m sure this has been posted but just in case. https://www.newsweek.com/nikki-haley-voters-pac-announces-support-kamala-harris-1928198

I was on the fence on whether Biden stays in or make a change to Kamala was a better chance for winning in Nov. I could see pros and cons on both sides (sorry for that phrase). Now that it’s done, and Biden seems to have done it in as gracious a way that could be done, I can’t even put into words how energized I feel by this news. Thanks Joe — for bearing that asshole in ‘20 and now for thinking of the country first and standing aside so Kamala can deliver the knockout blow in ‘24! Let’s fucking go! Shapiro endorses Kamala

And here we … go

Think we are about to see misogyny on a scale we’ve never seen in this country

A hard-core Dem friend suggested a wild idea for VP with Kamala — Adam Kinzinger. Won’t happen but that would be something. I actually like him.
