All HELL naw. You gotta go. I loved it so I am shocked that it still exists. Can you still shoot pool in that little upper area?

maybe until the students return, but the last few times I was there it was being used as a place to set things (with a cover on it)

The biggest issue with this article and all media actually is they nitpick on Kamala and try and find issues for her but they totally ignore that the other candidate is a rapist, liar and convicted felon who lead an insurrection.  Nothing about what a shit show his presidency was either.  I swear she could be running against Jeffrey Dahmer and the media would ignore that he is a serial killer and ask why Kamala won’t do more interviews with the media.  

SOOO much this.

Seriously, it's as if we're comparing a club sandwich with a dog turd sandwich on horse piss-soaked bread dipped in monkey diarrhea sauce, and the press completely ignores the dog turd, horse piss, and monkey diahrrea stuff, and focuses on "club sandwich criticized because the bacon is not cooked quite crispy enough.  Who would eat such a terrible sandwich?"

It's fucking insane.  They just give him a complete pass on....fucking EVERYTHING.  If the Dem has a fucking hair out of place, or once walked around with their shoe untied, there are now "SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT DEM'S FITNESS FOR OFFICE!"  While the other guy is an actual fucking convicted criminal who tried to overthrow the government and lies more than a psychotic toddler and a million other utterly disqualifying things.

Are you talking about the dove hunt connected with the Bell County Bar Association golf tournament? I’ve heard a story just like yours for a long time around the courthouse there.

No, an annual Trinity Industries customer appreciation weekend over at Hackberry Rod and Gun club. Specks and Reds in the morning, doves in the late afternoon. Mark Stiles began his career in the cement business showing up on my dad’s job site with a cooler full of beer at quitting time. “How many yards you need next week?”

The following swing states have confirmed that RFK will stay on the ballot:

Michigan
Nevada
North Carolina
Wisconsin

Think he is just off in AZ and TX (withdrew on time), was struck from the ballot in GA (along with a bunch of other candidates, including Stein) and he did not qualify in PA

Y'all don't get it. Give them access or they will be mean to you.

As Sulzberger often tells colleagues and as he and (Times’ Executive Editor Joe) Kahn have stressed in private conversations with the administration, every modern president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has done an interview with the Times. That, however, is an argument deemed uncompelling by Biden aides and one that, to some White House officials, smacks of entitlement. ...

https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/04/insider-reveals-why-new-york-times-is-savaging-biden-as-often-as-possible.html

 

And now Kamala is pissing them off even MORE because she won't play their game game either.

They have NEVER been this irrelevant and they have done it to themselves.  NYT, CNN, etc. 

You spent the last 8 years covering yourself in Trump's slop for access, profit, books, interviews and podcasts.  Most Democrats are DONE with you for that.

Trump is much more experienced in committing crimes and being corrupt. The fact that he can only get to 40% should be concerning to his campaign.

He isn't on the ballot in NY, but I do not think that matters to be fair.

He has said (or intimated) that he doesn't GAF about being on the ballot or not in safe blue/red states.  It was about getting himself off the ballot in swing states to help Trump.  Don't even think he has bothered to withdraw from any safe blue or red states.

Fuck the NY Times. I am a subscriber to the Times (and WaPo), and I have seriously thought about telling them to both fuck off until they pull their heads out of their asses.  The NY Times should get rid of Haberman ASAP. She and the others that kept the worst of Trump for public eyes to publish fucking books can go fuck themselves.

Scarcity drives price.  I wonder if she will hold out until a "60 Minutes" type interview, negotiate what topics are off limits, and scheduled for maximum value to the campaign.

How about she circumvents all of them and goes on with someone like Roland Martin (yes, I know he's aggy) because they are already pissed off at her for giving better access at the convention to "creators" and relegating the Politicos of the world to the cheap seats?

Oh yeah that's the stuff.

She should do Roland Martin and Paul Begala and open it with Tim talking about the rivalry coming back.

From today’s NY Times “here’s what we would ask Kamala if she weren’t too scared to sit for an interview” piece:

IMG_2235.thumb.png.7cae914f1df81330967664e37ee7c186.png

“What do you think is secretly super special about Trump that appeals to so many totally not racist true Americans? And a follow up? Can you convince us that you don’t totally suck shit being that you’re an uppity black woman who can’t connect with middle America?”

Part of the absurdity over the kid thing is that I believe he was 33 when his oldest was born.  His wife was 32. I guaranteed they both used birth control for more years  than they didn't.  The whole thing is nothing but bullshit to appeal to the bible-thumping crazy.

I've seen old photos of JD and I think it's safe to say that he probably didn't get laid until he had made some money from his book.

Don't forget the other answer: 

"Because you and your colleagues in print and TV media have decided to completely whitewash 2017-2021 and cover Trump and MAGA like a sideshow and not a serious threat to democracy, freedom of religion, education, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, our allies abroad and ultimately caused people to forget how chaotic, awful and scary his presidency was for marginalized communities and anyone who actually values American ideals and democracy"
