With any luck, some of Vance's constituents will take umbrage if Drumpf ditches him and put Ohio into play.

Had she spent time with Epstein or as a hooker Trump's campaign would have let everyone know. #9 | Posted by Tor

Had Kamala had been involved with Epstein or the sex trade, there's a good chance Trump would have known first hand.

Ooh! I remember reading a world religions text about them in elementary school. Something about the Kwisatz Haderach, free canned spam, and Thetans.

And, while we're on the subject of fake photos:

Trump refusing to commit to debate with Harris #6 | Posted by Corky

Kill a disabled person?

Hard to believe that a caring and empathetic man like Hair Furor would utter such a thing.

Kinda flabbergasted that Dems managed to get their act together like this. I guess staring into the abyss of a Trump 2.0 presidency helped.

I'm knocking on wood that this holds up.

I would like to believe he was set up for that by planning having Biden appear very challenged leading to the questions about his cognitive abilities then he drops out and now that can be used against Trump for the rest of the campaign.

Same thought crossed my mind, but I thought that was getting into tinfoil hat territory. Would be some beyond House of Cards political craftsmanship. Joe's been declining for years, so sadly no chance of that, I think.

Trump so much as trips or stumbles or slurs or experiences any issues......he'll get hammered with it. #25 | Posted by eberly

Yeah, although the impact of that will be far less than for Biden. People expected much from Biden, while with Trump it appears that him managing not to soil himself is considered a good day.

Personally, I think he looks pretty good for his age.

Target does this all the time. I will look at the online price, see that it is in stock at my store, head there and price is 5% higher in store and the online price magically changes.

Yeah, they were sued for it.

... While the group noted "Joe Biden wasn't our preferred candidate," it pointed to the party's "troubling" decisions to avoid giving its voters a voice, such as refusing to host debates, pushing out non-Biden candidates and having "bullied" Biden out of the race. ...
I am happy that the Democrats did not give in to the extremists in their party, unlike the GOP handing its leadership position to fmr Pres Trump. [...]

So, as LampLighter pretty much said, a group that didn't get their choice in the Dem primaries is now trying to stir the potty because they're still not getting their choice with the new nominee. And the Dems have wisely decided to ignore them here, as they did with the primaries.

A dog whistle is not the same thing as using the actual ------- N-word. #34 | Posted by sentinel

Yes, that is correct. You are stating pretty much exactly what Lee Atwater said in 1982, as quoted in #4 ("By 1968, you can't say 'n*****' that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff.").

So, in 1976 Reagan said "Welfare Queen." And today the GOP says "DEI hire."

And no, I won't be typing that word out. No idea why it's so important to you that I use a word that even Lee Atwater knew 40 years ago was no longer tolerable in society.

Gracie's concern for the desires of Black Lives Matter is duly noted.

Clip resurfaces, Vance criticizing Harris 4 being childless

By equating dog whistles with the N word, you're watering the N word down to be nothing more than a dog whistle.
#20 | Posted by sentinel

I'm not watering down anything. See #4 above. Lee Atwater knew in 1982 (?) that they could no longer use the N word openly. So they used dog whistles. Just because you (claim) not to hear it or understand their meaning doesn't change the reality and their purpose.

Is using the word "welfare" now equivalent to using the N word? No? Then why make such a dumb comparison. Nothing is equivalent to the N word. #14 | Posted by sentinel

Dumb comparison?

Last Saturday, three days ago, Trump was over Biden by three points. #4 | Posted by Zed

Yeah, I'm just pleased to see numbers favoring Dems for a change. Not taking anything for granted.
