Pritzer brings a lot of moderate Democrats and their money into the fray.  Maybe helps a bit with Wisconsin.  But he's got some drawbacks Kamala doesn't need since they'll be pinning the same things on her.  Not a bad 'outside-the-box' idea though.  I don't get the Gov. Walz play, at all.

As you go younger into young millennials and Gen Z, the women are significantly more impressive than the men.

This is generally dead on balls accurate, and it's a big problem.  Not because young women can't or shouldn't be impressive but a lot of these significantly less impressive young men are ahhhh.....dangerous.  But that's a problem for another thread.  

It's time to see what a woman will do, it's been long enough for such a supposedly freedom loving country to leave a representative of the majority of its citizens out of taking a turn at the helm.

Oh really?!?




The woman who was born to middle-class immigrant parents and who excelled academically and worked her ass off to become an attorney and prosecutor has done nothing to earn this while the man who inherited 475 million dollars from his father is self-made.

This is where MAGA is, mentally, folks.

I love that Vance is getting hammered for the Diet Mt. Dew reference. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I indulge in the occasional Mt. Dew and Funyuns on road trips, but never would I ever consider a fucking Diet Mt. Dew. What a douche.

If Gretchen Whitmer was named Gary Whitmer, they wouldn’t be looking at anyone else.

Could we have two women?

I love me some Whitmer but there is no way they put two women on this ticket.   I think it's either Kelly or Shapiro.

Drinking Diet Mountain Dew is about as common as getting a blow job with a dental dam.

I thought that was pretty funny so I checked her X profile out just to see who she is.  If you have 5 minutes, you should watch this in its entirety.  She'll never be a Nazi.  This is inspiring.

 

Damn. I felt like McConaughey in the background while Les Grossman was going off.

Trump is panicking. 
 

1) It's becoming clear that his VP pick has the charisma of a spoon and was a disaster of a pick. Nicki Haley would have been a far better choice. At last she didn't say all those nasty things about Trump that will now be used against him.

2) The RNC convention was a ratings bust and bumbling, stumbling disaster and his speech was a rambling snoozefest

3) He's got no easy way to attack Kamala that doesn't seem racist or misogynistic.  Evidence:  so far no "crooked Hillary"  or "sleepy Joe" Biden nickname.  

4) He now realizes that he's going to have to go out and really fight and really campaign and do all of that shit that he as an old man doesn't want to do because SHE'S going to be everywhere, attacking him at every turn, smiling, kissing babies.  

5) He realizes that if he doesn't win he's probably going to go to jail and his former friends in the Republican party will desert him, with the exception of Lindsey Graham, who will always offer up to Trump his soft underbelly. 

6) Kamala has ignited Democrat fund-raising efforts

https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-host-dana-perino-demands-democrats-stop-saying-trump-is-too-old-to-be-prez?ref=home?ref=home

 

Quote

Fox News host Dana Perino claimed Monday that it is “ridiculous” and “cutesy” for Democrats to call attention to how 78-year-old Donald Trump is the oldest presidential nominee in U.S. history.

Perino’s plea comes after months of relentless attacks on Fox regarding President Joe Biden’s age and acuity—concerns that spread to the mainstream following his June debate performance and which ultimately led the 81-year-old to step down in an unprecedented move Sunday afternoon.

 

Quote

On The Five, Perino and some of her co-hosts had a hard time dealing with the fact that Republicans will have to face similar criticisms about the head of their ticket being a septuagenarian.

“The Democrats have this bat signal that goes out, like ‘here’s the new talking point.’ So after saying that Joe Biden was perfectly fine, and his age didn’t matter at all, and he ran circles around them at the White House, now all of the sudden this memo basically goes out that says, ‘Trump is now the oldest nominee in history,’” Perino said.

“And it’s so incredibly ridiculous, because they actually seem to believe that cutesy ridiculousness like that might work. I don’t think it’s going to work.”

I picked one up by mistake once. It was okay. I still prefer the full corn syrup version if I'm going to be drinking liquid poison.

Agreed. I would buy that when I saw it a while back. Not sure it's still available.

Mt. Dew talk not going away.

Contrary to everything we've been telling you for the last few months, talking about age is cutesy ridiculousness. 

Now we are just going to talk about it even harder

Let's check in with Russian media to see how they are reacting to the news:

 

https://www.thedailybeast.com/putins-pals-panic-that-trumps-opponent-is-no-longer-old-sick-guy?ref=home

 

Quote

The news that President Joe Biden would not run for re-election caused a stir not only in America, but also in Russia, where pro-Kremlin propagandists are kicking up a fuss about what it would mean for their beloved Donald Trump. 

Appearing on Monday’s broadcast of a state TV show 60 Minutes, State Duma member Oleg Matveychev complained that Biden’s move is a disaster for Trump’s election chances. “He is left without any trump cards!” Matveychev said. “Previously, he could easily attack Biden’s health, now he has nothing left to attack. More than that, attacking Biden at this point would be seen as inappropriate and rude.”

 

Quote

“Now they’re switching to [Vice President Kamala Harris] and are trying to attack her, but nothing new will stick to her,” Matveychev added. “Bringing up the fact she is not quite white will only activate her electorate.”

Russian state TV’s coverage of Harris—which is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox News—was largely limited Monday to attempts at mocking her laughter.

Matveychev said that Biden’s departure from the race rendered the previous agenda obsolete. Discussing the age of the U.S. president or an assassination attempt against Trump is now yesterday’s news, he argued.

 

Quote

“Trump had a great trump card with this shot that was fired at him... he just got lucky,” the lawmaker said. “Now he has to come up with something new to change the subject and draw attention to himself—and it’s hard to do, after the stakes were raised this high.”

Matveychev said that if Trump was “a little bit smarter,” he would have toned it down during the debate to make sure Biden stays in the race. Host Evgeny Popov bitterly added, “Now he is the old candidate. The only old candidate!” 

The lawmaker said it’s time to rip off the patch covering up Trump’s scratched ear that many in the U.S. have compared to a maxi pad. He criticized the flashmob of the GOP ear patches as outdated and vulgar and urged the Republicans to come up with something new to face the new reality.

 

Quote

Matveychev also angrily described Harris as “distilled evil.” “In her, you have the devil in its purest form,” he said. “He always appears to be laughing and positive. The devil doesn’t have horns and hooves, he says that everything is ok and flashes a white-toothed grin.”

Moscow’s premier propagandist Vladimir Solovyov separately scrambled to re-record his weekend program, Sunday Evening With Vladimir Solovyov, to keep up with the news.

oh come on

Any union which endorses Trump, or even issues no endorsement, is just smearing bacon grease all over their face.

There was no sugar in the mountain dew I have partaken in. Shit was straight white lightning. Hard pass as I have gotten older, but those east Tennessee folks could brew up some shit.
