They money was always there regardless of who the replacement was.  This is like when a losing coach needs firing and people be like "His buyout is $90M!!!!"

*Poof* the money appears.

What's the basis for this?  If it's purely due to delayed public endorsement, there's legitimate strategy involved in having the true power players (besides Biden, he always needed to be first) come out after the debate has generally been settled.

It's partly supposition based on the fact that they haven't endorsed Harris yet, but not just that. It's pretty clear from reporting that many if not most of the donors involved in the pressure campaign against Biden didn't want Harris to be the nominee.  I think Obama/Pelosi/Schumer shared the concerns those donors had about her (which were based on how they perceived her electability for race, gender, and policy reasons). Without longcatting this, the biggest Dem donors do not want the party to turn back into a pro-labor, pro-regulation party the way Biden has been pushing things (and Harris is likely expected to continue things in that direction) and I think Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer have a lot of stupid ideas about how to moderate to appeal to "moderate" American voters because their idea of a moderate American voter is largely based on the "moderate" multimillionaires they spend all of their time with.

Fucking tax cuts I guess?

I'm quite concerned that his bullshit lie about not taxing tipped income will gain traction with hospitality workers. I've seen sooo many Trumpaloos trying to peddle that shit to our employees on their signed credit card receipts. It's disgusting.

Any respectable Republican doesn’t actively support him or has outright been critical, some vocally in the case of Romney, Dick and Liz. It is unfathomable what he’s done to the party. I’m hoping for Kamala to win (can’t believe I’m typing this), and praying that her future victory doesn’t come with a civil war between November 5th and January 20th.

Man, a lot of the people that we work with/around on a daily basis are still full-throated Trumpaloos. It's hard to understand tbh. Like I said to you on this board a long time ago, he's not even good for the energy industry and he's terrible for the country. Fucking tax cuts I guess?

Are there respectable Republicans? The party functions similarly to the way we've criticized police departments.

There are bad apples (evidently even more than we think) doing terrible things. There are enablers who align with them and support them through inaction. So it is with GOPs who contribute to that party and vote for the current GOP/anti-republic party. Is that respectable? I'm having trouble seeing how.

I've recently reconciled with my sister after a long silence. It was a relief and a joy. At our last meeting with some of her family, she makes it clear that she is pro-Trump. I feel something like a soldier of the French Resistance who has learned his sister is helping the Nazis. This is very troubling to me. I'm still roiling with thoughts about it.

The GOP is about racism, enslaving women to their ability to have children, and imposing a religion that they've misnamed Christianity on the country. They want to ignore the global climate crisis and squeeze every last dime they can out of what may destroy us. The rich will be at fantastic estates in the mountains. The regular fools who voted them into power will blame the Socialist Dems. Idiot World.

I can't have anything to do with such wickedness. I've only used that word to describe Nixon (we'd be so much better off with him instead of Trump) and, for the last several years, all the malignancy of what has become the right.

Your party may perish. You may not have the choice to vote for actual conservative values. You haven't had that choice for a few decades anyway. Make sure you're not just pulling for the jersey. I can't imagine why a person worthy of any respect would continue to do so. I suppose being a fool would mitigate guilt and invite less scorn but still no respect.

Interesting take by Laura Loomer.  Somebody check my math, but by my count, the number of Presidents we've had who have given birth to one or more children is . . . zero.

That's fucking disgusting. I'm not surprised, but it's disgusting in a breathtaking way. My wife and I suffered a loss after waiting years to try and it was devastating, and almost broke our will to continue the process. I can't possibly describe my rage if someone went digging around my wife's medical history to find out why we didn't have children. Goddammit, these people are vile. 

God Bless you both. My wife and I went thru it twice and it still stings.

We made our peace with it as best we could. My wife has dedicated herself to other peoples' children in serving as a Pre-K teacher. In this damn "State" where our leadership diminshes her value more and more each day no less.

The Biden people have always insisted that he wins like 80-90% of the undecideds and I assume that applies to Harris as well.

Also, if she does well with Latina women, they get AZ.

Who will decide the election:

Latinos in Arizona and Nevada

Blacks in Atlanta and Detroit

Yutes in Philly and Milwaukee and Charlotte

you got brown/black skin, you've been shit on. you're a woman, any kind of woman, you've been shit on.

she's got enough of the experience of being shit on to matter, besides, if she doesn't she'll get it in the next 4 months.

I love HRC but I think Kamala has more humility and her stating she is going to earn the nomination will translate to earn the presidency. I'm sitting here thinking about the women I despise and they are all a bit arrogant and dismissive of me. I think Kamala is going to do great not assuming she has the vote of women, but instead she's going to ask for it.  I think that could make all the difference in the world. at least I'm telling myself that. oh and dobbs.

Erick is also personifying CRT. He has no idea of the impact of his words. He believes he respects Black people.

The whole lesson is that we white men, even well intentioned (he's not), can have horrific blind spots. They're not easy to identify and weed out if you're not even trying.
