With no back-up VP in place because the House won't confirm shit. We would be one lone gunman away from President Mike Johnson.

As far as the young voters, they are energized on X and TikTok, what can be done to actually get them to vote?  Do they need help getting registered?  What organizations specifically geared to getting youth to vote exist and are prominent?

Kinda what Beto’s org is all about… registering voters.

One of the best decisions I've made in my career was about 4 years ago really was working harder to staff my team with more women, and finding ways to support their ability to work around their kids schedules.  Then when my wife got a significantly larger team of her own a couple years ago, she asked me what's one piece of advice I'd tell her.  Without hesitation I responded, "Hire women."

We talked about this last night after the news was breaking and I was tearing up hearing endorsement after endorsement come in for Harris.  That's how I feel about nearly all the women that have spent time in my org.  They readily give you everything they've got if you support them.  Their capacity to work just exceeds lazy ass men because they already do the lions share domestically in addition to having careers.  Of course, there are  shitty female employees too but as a general statement I stand by it. They've always shouldered a heavier burden so they don't shirk when the fire is hot. 

This is women's moment.  To celebrate in November, I'm going to DEI hire the fuck out of my org in 2025.

I'm ready to live in a woman's America.  Not just POTUS, but in every facet of leadership.  It's their time.

Username and all...

But I agree. My best 5 people on my team are not men.

The only real knock on Montel is a kind of cheesy tv career.  Oh, wait.

The way old people love Steve Harvey now is how Montel Williams was popular in the 90s. My grandma watched Montel’s talk show daily and she thought he was a nice guy during time when Jerry Springer was the norm.

Grandma isn’t a big Kamala fan but when I told her Kamala dated Montel Grandma was sold on her. I know it sounds ridiculous but it’s true. Montel already has those Medicare commercials so obviously he needs to be used to get Kamala the old lady votes.

Been meaning to ask about how this would work. Would she actually certify or would that be cock gobblers responsibility due to the conflict of interest?

If there hasn't been any conflict of interests with Pence (or any other incumbent VP) on the ballot before, then I don't see how they can claim one now.

But then again... MAGA.

[WBT 20,212]

There's no conflict of interest because there's no discretion.

I assume GHWB certified himself right?

Yes, he did.

Nobody likes an heir, Jesse.  Hey tell your audience who your grandfather was.  Publisher of "Better Homes & Gardens" and "The Saturday Evening Post."  Two of the Top 10 magazines for decades in terms of sales/circulation.  Back when magazines were a big fucking money-maker.  Your uncle was a prominent New England State Senator for many years.  You've inherited more than 99% of any American.  Maybe tap the brakes on the "She Inherited It" bullshit.  Like your father, her parents were teachers...prominent in their field, but not exactly rolling in dough. 

In fact, her early on statewide campaigns were struggling to make ends meet because she wasn't well connected like you were, she had to go asking the likes of Donald J. Trump for contributions.

OK I didn't even know JD Vance was in politics much less Trump's VP candidate. Biden dropping out and me paying attention again (temporarily) for the first time in probably 4 years (?) is like drinking out of the firehose. #NoVenables

I love the idea of someone summarizing JD Vance's opus, I'm Better Than All The Pieces of Shit I Grew Up With, to Donald Trump.

I remember friends breathlessly recommending that book to me and my main takeaway was that no one liked him growing up and this was all his revenge ploy to show them all how superior he was. And now he's attached himself to Donald Trump hahahaha

And Trump's magic is still Trump's magic. Vance just sucking up Trump's rancid farts like all these other piece of shit opportunists. Awesome.

One of the things I’ve learned in my odd life is you cannot succeed as a mediocre woman. Another thing I’ve noticed, at least in today’s world it often (not always) still takes men to help clear the path or open the door for women to have the chance to excel.  Yeah, that means more women than we can count who could knock it out of the park aren’t given the chance. Bravo to men who are confident enough to share the stage, it’s quite an attractive trait.

So I’m confused … her phrase “what can be, unburdened by what has been” is satanic? I mean I kinda think it means a black woman can be POTUS? And that the phrase can be used as inspiration for anyone looking to break through discrimination. Am I wrong?
