Yeah, and that just goes to show you how stupid that record numbers of voters really were. Here it is only 3.5 years later and Joe did such a shitty job he's forced out because he has ZERO chance of beating Trump. Let's hope for our country's sake they show better judgement next time.
Kamala Harris hits a home run in her first appearance as Candidate

LOL...I'll try to remember that. I've been really out of sorts about my Reaction Score since I started posting again. It's like 'What the hell do I have to do to get some props here, folks?'
Imagine if Political Advertisements had to live by the same Truth in Advertising rules that drug makers do. They'd need to buy 10 minute blocks for a 30 second add, with 9:30 left for the disclaimers at the end heh.
It’s criminal. And again when it soars you get nice perks. Took my little minion to six flags. Comped by rivals. Dinner at Texas Roadhouse last week. Comped by rivals. Low rent shit but my minion doesn’t know any better. So I started going after mods. Entire threads attacking mods. Bam 3 days in Miami on rivals. Resort I’d never go to but you get the picture.
I’ll make sure people who respond to your post take the time to like or love it going forward.
It’s all important. You understand.
Yeah, the political professions have long been a haven for bullshit artists -- which is why I've always gotten a chuckle out of so many of them squawking about Donald Trump being a bullshit artist. Well, he is clearly that. They're not wrong. In fact, most pols are rank amateurs compared to that guy. But let's not pretend he's unique in that regard. He just takes it to a higher level.
And I say that as somebody who has voted for him, despite knowing full well that he's nothing more than a performance artist...a WWE heel in a tailored suit.
Honest question. Is this thread praising her remarks at the Whitehouse with the athletes?
She said Biden has created a great legacy without mentioning any accomplishments and then explained how 10s of millions of people play sports as kids, but only a few win it all later in life.
Tell me this isn't the speech that is being lauded.
Holy hell are we fooked.

Oh high and mighty Internet, knower and creator of all things funny and meme worthy, please produce an AI dance off video of Trump and Kamala. If you want to set it in the Pulp Fiction dance scene with the same music, that would be doubly awesome.Only scored a home run if we have dancin' Kamala
She will be in so far over her head that they’ll have to treat her like Biden. Limit her opportunities to speak highlight her at concerts looking energetic, script the shit out of everything. She’s not bright
Because she admitted it. Didn't try and cover anything up. And didn't pay hush money using campaigns donation. Id say its a tad different
All valid comments, but she has some fences to mend. She publicly compared border agents to the KKK, she took anti-cop and pro- rioter positions during George Floyd riots, she is pretty conspicuously anti-Israel, and she is very strongly anti-federalism in domestic policy.For a debate, she'll be much better than Biden. She's coachable, will put in the work I'd imagine, and will have lines memorized to shoot off at Trump (and that he will walk into). She'll "win" the debates according to all major outlets not associated with the right--how well she performs to drive out Dems I do not know.
I think her biggest concern will be what seemed to sink her in the 2020 Dem primary, where she was polling 7th in SCarolina with its large black voting population and California, her home state (those ranks come from a podcast I listened to so dont have the article to link. It might be off? Sounds shockingly low). First, she comes off as condescending, unlikeable, and phony. I don't think that can be changed. Second, she didn't know how to put together a national campaign and really didn't understand the policy issues she weighed in on (probably because she didn't assemble a very good staff to write that stuff up). That will be solved by relying on the already functioning Biden campaign.
Harris gets another shot at a presidential campaign. This time, there’s no room for errors.
The vice president could inherit a sizable campaign apparatus that would benefit a candidate who has matured in the past four years.www.nbcnews.com
For each election, I think the Presidential race is, in part, about sussing out what kind of President each candidate would be. Each can be a different kind--a micromanager, a figurehead, an ideas guy, a CEO, etc.--and focus on different areas while letting his or her team handle the rest (so they need a good hiring team, too). Harris won't be a micromanager and she will rely heavily on Biden's already experienced staff, I would think. That would make her a younger continuation of the Biden admin. with more oversight and input from her, with probably more focus on some progressive projects, which we'll find out about in the coming months.
She thinks and speaks in platitudes and esoteric nonsense. All campaigns rely on platitudes to some extent, she takes it to excess. That will work to her advantage with the casual or low information voters.
Of all the Wealth Management companies in all the world they pick Jared. Oh, I forgot, another cool 2.5 Billion to Mnuchin's company. Sure it's well documented. It better be. Can you say conflict of interest?
She'll campaign on whatever polls well. I'd imagine she will govern the same way because she'll want to be reelected if she wins.
Yeah that and Trump's attacks on people like EJ Carrol and Kamala are going to drive women to the polls to vote MAGA...
Kind of strange you'd use Ron's tweet (designed to mock Vance) instead of a tweet from someone "endorsing" Vance's position? Oh that's right, stupid nicknames and dispaaraging attacks on people don't appeal to anyone outside of the MAGA cult.
Please keep trotting out bigoted idiots like Burchett to attack Kamala as the "DEI candidate". Obviously Trump has decided to use Burchett as the liaison to attract Black voters...
Trump has to be second guessing JD Vance already. Between his views on abortion, hints about his thoughts on the role of women, and his embarrassing takes on race.Yeah that and Trump's attacks on people like EJ Carrol and Kamala are going to drive women to the polls to vote MAGA...

Yesterday at a rally he said the left would accuse him of being racist for drinking Diet Mt. Dew. Even the crowd was embarrassed for him. Dude has no original thoughts of his own. No way anyone with self respect changes his stance on Trump the way JD has. Remember when men had character?
No one is "better" than harris to beat trump?
Nonsense, Manchin would destroy him.
No one has received the rigged nomination yet.The amusing part is that Kamala and the Democrats covered up Biden’s disabling senility for at least 2 years, they rigged the primaries to eliminate competition,, joes accelerating disability blew the coverup, the Democrat big wigs go crazy, Joe abruptly resigns his rigged nomination with a Tweet, turmoil ensues, the Democrat big wigs and a few billionaires settle on Kamala, and then Kamala gives a speech claiming the GOP is the party of chaos.
I'm not sure the far left or the young would show up for Manchin.
I have strong enough doubts about that on its own. But the prospect of Joe Manchin winning a Democratic primary is so far-fetched as to be absurd.
This is almost like somebody saying that Liz Cheney would be the best candidate for the Republican Party -- never mind the fact that most Republicans have, rightly or wrongly, come to despise her.
No way they would. I'd show up for Manchin, but he's not getting the progressive vote. Manchin would be better as a moderate Republican.
I do remember reading a report (I don't recall if it was ever confirmed, at least by somebody who didn't have an axe to grind) that Trump almost instantly tried to renege on his offer to Pence to be his runningmate in 2016.
So, if that report was true, it's not a stretch to wonder if he might have the same buyer's remorse about Vance. My impression that the Vance pick, as much as anything, was about getting some backing from Thiel and others in Silicon Valley.
But, given that Trump's polling has held up fairly well so far through these recent major events, I guess I wouldn't be so quick to jump on this. If his numbers do turn south, then he'll definitely be looking for somebody to blame -- and, when he does that, he never does it around any mirrors.
But you voted for Biden.
Let’s elect someone who isn’t a criminal - Biden got payments for him and is family for doing nothing
isn’t a sexual abuser - Tara Reade begs to different. Read her police report. And she even remembers the year it happened, unlike E Jean.
isn’t dumb as a rock - don't even go there with Biden. Graduated toward the bottom of his law class.
and unfit for office ( according to his staff) - Well, guess who just dropped out of the race because of his dementia?
isn’t corrupt - the Biden Crime Family has been grifting America for years.
The one where she spent 3/4 of her time thanking her supporters? Yeah, such a great speech. lmao
The first thing the MAGA folks would do is expose Manchin's shady background regarding the coal industry. He (and his daughter) have some skeletons in his closet...
Admittedly Casten comes from the progressive wing of the Dem Party.. But the reality is if Trump felt threatened MAGA would not hesitate to amplify these charges...
"The truth is, Manchin is best understood as a grifter from the ancestral home of King Coal. He is a man with coal dust in his veins who has used his political skills to enrich himself, not the people of his state. He drives an Italian-made Maserati, lives on a houseboat on the Potomac River when he is in D.C., pals around with corporate CEOs, and has a net worth of as much as $12 million. More to the point, his wealth has been accumulated through controversial coal-related businesses in his home state, including using his political muscle to keep open the dirtiest coal plant in West Virginia, which paid him nearly $5 million over the past decade in fees for coal handling, as well as costing West Virginia electricity consumers tens of millions of dollars in higher electricity rates (more about the details of this in a moment). Virginia Canter, who was ethics counsel to Presidents Obama and Clinton, unabashedly calls Manchin's business operations "a grift." To Canter, Manchin's corruption is even more offensive than Donald Trump's. "With Trump, the corruption was discretionary — you could choose to pay thousands of dollars to host an event at Mar-a-Lago or not," Canter tells me. In contrast, Manchin is effectively taking money right out of the pockets of West Virginians when they pay their electric bills. They have no say in it. "It's one of the most egregious conflicts of interest I've ever seen."

Well, naturally. What politician wouldn't promote this (or something like it) if they were running against Manchin or thought they might be running against him?
The concept of oppo isn't unique to Trump or any other pol. I've worked on a couple campaigns (for state offices, not federal). And I've seen how this sausage is made. It cracks me up that people actually buy into it instead of seeing it for what it is.
It's pretty funny coming from a guy who sits on the finance committee and his top 3 contributors in this cycle are Lone Pine Capital, CME Group, and Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers.The first thing the MAGA folks would do is expose Manchin's shady background regarding the coal industry.

He just hasn't had enough time to get to Manchin level grift. He's only a 3 term rep, but he shows great promise.
He could be a good VP pick. Won't happen but he would be a good VP for Harris. Hed be like Phil Martelli was for Juwan Howard. They only won when Howard was suspended and Martelli was coaching. Lol.
I honestly don’t care if Harris is a hoe or not. And I don’t care if Trump paid off a hooker.
By the way, welcome back. I’ve always read and enjoyed your comments. Hope you stick around for a while.
wait, you are telling me that she couldn't make up and enforce entirely new laws, as California's AG?
Are you saying that she enforced the laws that were on the books?
SHOCKING!
He's angry because the fool he voted for now is mentally incapacitated - just like we tried to tell him he would be.
Leftists get very angry when they have their nose rubbed in their own shit.
I just got 2 estimates for front break replacements on my SUV. One was $550 and the other was $450.
It wasn't that long ago I could get front breaks done for under $200.
It's outrageous - I don't see how people get by unless both parents have decent jobs and 1 works 2 jobs. I can understand why men - and women - are loathe to get married anymore. Raising a family is just not feasible, financially, for most.
And guess what - Trump just beat Biden. He was beating him so bad, Biden cried No Mas. Trump beat Biden like a drum.
Biden is going out a loser.
I think the Dems could have had a real chance with Kelly. I don't know enough about Shapiro.
Cooper would have been an interesting choice. Even though I make fun of him - he really is a Goober - he's just vanilla enough to be accepted by a lot of people. A good old boy who isn't that bright, but you don't have to be to win in N. Carolina. And I mean that for both sides.
Plus, I doubt Cooper has any higher ambition than maybe VP, so if he loses a Presidential bid, it's not that big a deal to him.
I think the Dems are panicking and throwing Kamala out there on the off chance she'll win, but moreso to just finally get rid of her, since she's such an embarrassment.
As far as her performance in S. Carolina goes, most blacks in SC know she's not African American 'black'.For a debate, she'll be much better than Biden. She's coachable, will put in the work I'd imagine, and will have lines memorized to shoot off at Trump (and that he will walk into). She'll "win" the debates according to all major outlets not associated with the right--how well she performs to drive out Dems I do not know.
