Horn Under a Bad Sign

He's been sucking orange cheeto wang on Twitter for months.

Brown vagina.

I'm telling y'all ... Kamala has them flummoxed. 1) As a female, she represents more than 50% of the population 2) As a minority, they can't give voice to what they really thing without proving themselves to be the racists they've spent the last 16 years denying that they are 3) She's got no real baggage and they can't slut shame her without seeming petty, judgemental and to be not caring about the issues. Were I Kamala, I'd go on the offensive: "Over the next few months, I'll guarantee you'll hear a lot about my relationships, about DEI etc ... That's because they have no vision, no plan, no dreams. The only thing they know is the politics of personal attacks. That's what my opponent has left as their legacy. Personal attacks, grievances and whining. I may have had some political differences with the man, but can you imagine what Ronald Reagan would say about what the Republican party has become?"

I had an anaphylactic reaction to something a few years ago and got down to 77%. I drove myself to one of those 24-hour emergency clinics a few miles away and they were amazed that I made it. I've had it happen in the past so I am pretty well versed on all this stuff. The thing is we can't figure out what triggers it. I went to the Austin Allergy clinic and did the whole test thing and the only thing I was allergic to was cedar, which I already knew. But, yeah ... 77% is scary as hell.

You never know what worse fate your terrible fate kept you from.

I tested positive on Friday, felt like shit all weekend, began feeling better on Sunday night, felt much better yesterday and feel great as of tonight ... nearly 100%. I took this Covid journey with my devices --- my oximeter and my fitbit ---- and it's interesting to look at it. Last Wednesday night, my resting pulse was 61 bpm, my overnight breaths per minute at 13, and my temperature .2 degrees above average. I began to feel bad on Thursday. My resting pulse on Thursday night was 66 bpm, my overnight breaths per minute at 17 (highest ever) and my temperature .9 degrees above average. Friday and Saturday I felt awful. My resting pulse on both nights was 73 bpm, my overnight breaths per minute were 21 & 22, and my temperature 4.1 degrees and 3.9 degrees above normal. Everything was elevated because my body was trying to fight off the infection and because my lungs were operating so inefficiently. Sunday night my resting pulse edged downward to 69 bpm, breaths per minute were 18, and my temperature 1.1 degrees above average. Monday night my resting pulse was down to 65 bpm, breaths 15 per minute, and temperature .2 degrees above average. It was the same thing with my oxygen levels. I'm normally anywhere from 95%-98% on the oximeter. As my lungs filled with mucous, that went down to the upper 80s-low 90s, to the point that I'd have to consciously deep breath to restore it to MAYBE 93. But now I'm back up to 96%, my resting pulse is 62 as I type this etc ... It's fascinating to be able to measure both an invader's advance and your body's response to it. There were a few times when I woke up in the middle of the night feeling unable to breathe, slapped my oximeter on, and I was down around 85% oxygen levels. Felt like I was suffocating.

I am dead certain that Gunther Eagleman is a bot --- a very successful bot. 131,000 tweets in 3+ years? Bot.

Well Trump only has about 17 adjectives in his brain, most of them one or two syllables, so it's a matter of him going with the one he thinks is best. "Lessee ... uh ... crooked? No. Sleepy? No. Little? No. Lyin'? No .. hmmm Nasty? That's it, That's the one because she's a woman and she's black so she's probably nasty!"

Some of you are too frail to live.

Her race isn't her platform, of course, but Republicans are obsessed with it. The two things that they can't NOT talk about ---- Kamala's relationship/sexual history and her race ---- are two loser takes with the large majority of Americans. Some Republicans will be unable to resist calling her a whore, and it's going to go very badly for the rest of them, who will be tarred with that misogynist brush. Donald has nothing if not for the politics of personal attacks, and Kamala's going to render most of the avenues useless to him. She has two things that Hillary didn't have: her race and a lack of history. There's no Swift Boat coming to save them, although they are definitely going to try to find an ex-boyfriend of hers to pay a lot of money to cast doubt on her character.

You missed the "choose to believe" part of her statement. This is 2024. We build our own realities out of memes, tweets, gifs, and movie clips that suit our fancy. I choose to believe that Dark Brandon triumphs over every thing Republicans can conceive. Do your own research. Prove me wrong.

My 89 year old dad said something to me on the phone just now that I think would be a great Kamala campaign slogan" "We men have had the Presidency 46 times in a row. Maybe it's time we give the broads a chance." "Give the broads a chance!" My T-shirt slogan: Harris 2024. Give the Broads a Chance!

I originally preferred Kelly to Shapiro. I liked his personal story and his charisma. But now I think Shapiro is a better choice 1) delivers a bigger state 2) offsets any criticism that Kamala is not pro-Israel and solidifies the Jewish vote 3) he's smart as a fucking whip, funny, and nerdily charismatic. He's the anti JD Vance, who is smart as a whip, scowls a lot, and robotically dead-souled.

NYT is about 48 hours behind Surly Horns.

Holy shit that was funny.

I'd love for Obama to be Secretary of State.

And, actually, three million more of us voted for Hillary than voted for Donald but because of the archaic, anachronistic electoral college that our wise forefathers gifted us, she lost. I just read that J.D. Vance tweeted several times in 2016 "what percentage of the American population has @realdonaldtrump sexually assaulted?" If I'm Kamala, or her running mate, I say "reporters should ask J.D. Vance if he still believes Donald Trump sexually assaulted his fellow Americans and, if not, what evidence that has been unearthed since he said that which would lead him to believe that Donald Trump did not sexually assault his fellow Americans?" I hop on that shit and I stay laser focused on it every day that Vance is Trump's running mate. Force Trump to abandon him. Then watch Vance turn on Trump.

By pointing out that, like Willie Horton, Kamala Harris has a lot of African Americans in her ancestry.

So those voters are going to vote for the man who would completely and without question accept anything Netanyahu wants to do and who told supporters in May that he would crush pro-Palestinian protestors on college campuses? Because you sew up Pennsylvania.

Yup. Let's not forget who moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

You can find reasons to rule out any of the potential candidates. Shapiro is very popular in Pennsylvania and would guarantee it to be a blue state come Nov., and I don't think he would condemn you to losing Michigan, given how strong Whitmer's organizational skills are and how loathed Donald Trump is.

How an elephant scratches his stomach

I think you and TwiceHorn are missing the point of AOC's question.
