Chill out!

Hehehehehe. Indeed!

Heh.

Who could it be?

It's probably his couch that lies like a rug.

Or it's his running mate who will have him hung if he cannot or will not assist in his violent overthrow of Joe Biden... the sequel.

Do my eyes deceive me that John has used italics!? It's gorgeous. ;)

Somebody needs to tell Fat Donny that Biden is still the President and that the only person who could have relieved him of his sworn duty to America is -- in fact -- Joe Biden... well, and Death, but that isn't a person, it's a spiritual entity.

The only "vicious, violent overthrow of a president of the United States" was Trump's failed coups attempt in January 2021 after Trump lost to Joe Biden, who remains undefeated in general elections for over 50 years and henceforth shall remain ever thus.

Hasn't he trained his cult to believe that he is the current president? He's glitching.

Yes... but he's also trained his cult to believe that Barack Hussein Obama is the current president and it's all part and parcel of Fat Donny and his propensity to take all sides of every issue and flip-flop on a dime if he can make some money on the flipside. :)

Apparently you didn't watch the same speech as I did. In the one I saw, it was unambiguously a use of the oath to comment about Trump and his fans.

Nah. Same speech. I already provided part of the transcript. If anyone's interested, the entire transcript is readily available:

Hillary was simply contrasting VP Harris with Old Man Trump and how they've each handled their sworn duty to the Constitution, their oath.

But we also know as Vice President, Kamala sat in the situation room and stood for America’s values. I know what it takes, and I can tell you as commander-in-chief, Kamala won’t disrespect our military and our veterans. [inference: like Trump disrespects them]

She reveres our Medal of Honor recipients. [inference: unlike Trump who claimed a civilian honor is "much better" and therefore demeans their sacrifice]

She won’t be sending love letters to dictators. [inference: like Trump and Kim]

She will defend democracy and our Constitution and will protect America from enemies foreign and domestic. [inference: She won't shit all over the Constitution and her sworn oath, unlike Trump has and will continue]

Think about it. The Constitution says, the President’s job is to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Those are the words of our founders: “take care.” [inference: Harris will follow the law, unlike Trump who is a lawbreaking felon]

Just look at the candidates. Kamala cares — cares about kids and families, cares about America. Donald only cares about himself.

~ Hillary Clinton, 08/19/2024, DNC

Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion, but the part of the speech you're disparaging is simply a contrast between Harris and Trump and who will fulfill their oath to defend the Constitution and who obviously has not and will not. The words "enemies foreign and domestic" isn't a reference to MAGA, but apparently you heard it that way for whatever reason. :)

I have a friend who embellishes and lies a lot, I’m having him stand in for Tim Walz.

Who could it be?

They told her don't laugh please, but I'll bet she was laughing inside last night when she saw the way Joe Biden left because that was a coup. That was a coup. And I'm no fan of his at all and it started with the debate and from that point on it got worse and worse, but that was a coup. It was a vicious, violent overthrow of a president of the United States.

He threw in the word violent so that he could trick those egghead campaign managers and spineless congress critters into believing that he can stay on topic, but I do have one question.

Hasn't he trained his cult to believe that he is the current president? He's glitching.

After the merger closes, Kroger will invest $1 billion to lower Albertsons’ prices, consistent with Kroger’s track record of fighting inflation and providing value to customers.

More than 100% of readers should not believe them.

Apparently you didn't watch the same speech as I did. In the one I saw, it was unambiguously a use of the oath to comment about Trump and his fans.

Diet Mountain Dew ;)

It will be fun to watch Harris fill the RNC's Milwaukee convention hall to the brim tonight. It'll surely trigger the 78 year old demented snowflake.

'Nother snowflake meltdown, and they say no two are alike. Heh.

Which will he use in public first? The N word or the B word?

Well, yesterday he claimed her father was a Marxist professor and that she learned everything she knows from him. So it appears Trump has decided Harris is Black after all, and thus I would wager it'll be a twofer: NB, preceded, of course, by the word "Marxist."

"Price-gouging" is a pretty ridiculous, not to mention disingenuous, thing to highlight in a Democratic effort to beat the Republicans on the economy.

It's ridiculous that it's happening more frequently and unabated in America, primarily in connection with the interruption of supply chains due to the fallout from the global pandemic. It's not a secret that Americans pay exponentially more for a wide range of goods and services simply by virtue of living in the United States, a so-called "rich" country, with pharmaceuticals/medications/durable medical equipment being the foremost example.

Of course, it's not surprising that Dems and their allies would approach this issue in this way.

What's really not surprising is a Canadian referring to a practice that has been prevalent in America for decades -- now exacerbated by recent events -- as "disingenuous." What Biden/Harris have done to help curb the price gouging Americans have been experiencing for decades in exorbitant costs of pharmaceuticals could simply be applied to other industries wherein our citizens are being ripped off.

It's an antitrust issue. If "Big Pharma" can finally be somewhat addressed, albeit slowly, then I don't see why we shouldn't endeavor to take aim at those countless other industries who are taking advantage of "rich" Americans, starting with "Big Beef," wherein (only) four big companies control the U.S. beef industry.

Shanahan said this out loud to the Impact Theory podcast:

“There’s two options that we're looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw more votes from Trump, somehow draw more votes from Trump. Or we walk away right now and join forces with with Donald Trump and explain to our base why we're making this decision.”

We already know about the worm that ate his brain, Nicole. Money seems to have rotted yours.

And I've said it as a census enumerator. Of course I recognized the source, and it doesn't matter. In context, it was absolutely clear that it was a dig at the MAGAts.

Maybe review that "context" because it was inarguably multiple sentences regarding Donald Trump's actions and comparing and contrasting Harris with her current political opponent, same old Donald Trump.

It's a comment about the sworn oath that civil servants take in service to their country and how Harris has kept and will continue to keep that affirmation versus her opponent, still Trump, who did not, has not, and never will.

Thousands of civil servants take this oath every year to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." The oath is to the Constitution/our laws and not to a person and has nothing whatsoever to do with the political affiliation of anyone seeking to undermine it.

Those who take the oath to the Constitution aren't generally conditioned to concern themselves with the political affiliation of those enemies who would seek to attack or undermine it. I know because I helped to train that bullshit out of thousands of them. :)

Three years ago JD expressed his weird, extreme anti-abortion position like this: “It’s not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term, it’s whether a child should be allowed to live, even though the circumstances of that child’s birth are somehow inconvenient"

At the DNC, KY Governor Andy Beshear addressed JD's knuckle-dragging: "Inconvenience is traffic. I mean it is a — make him go through this. It is someone being violated, someone being harmed and then telling them that they don’t have options after that.”

The sectional predator posted this half-assed, bad-faith, faux outrage on racist hellscape Twitter: “What the hell is this? Why is @AndyBeshearKY wishing that a member of my family would get raped?!? What a disgusting person.”

Beshear is an up-right decent guy. Please note that scummy dipshit JD does not defend his outrageous extremism. He just wants to shoot the messenger. Look over there!

Dems need to keep the heat on because the opposition's got nothing.

Which will he use in public first? The N word or the B word?

LizM,

Chill out!

That was just a little joke. I was mocking the orangutan, not Sleepy Joe. Just FYI, Mountain Dew does not cure dementia.

Regardless, how many people will see my comment? 15? I don't think much damage will be done if it's misinterpreted.

[10] and [11]. Very good delivery means, among other things, that he didn't come across as too old.

And I've said it as a census enumerator. Of course I recognized the source, and it doesn't matter. In context, it was absolutely clear that it was a dig at the MAGAts.

Hillary made a reference to "enemies, foreign and domestic." Not ok. Fellow citizens, even when we disagree on matters of dire importance, are fellow citizens. We must not let ourselves become enemies.

You're kidding, right? Hillary was referring to the sworn oath that many servants of America are required by law to affirm, including Vice President Harris.

But we also know as Vice President, Kamala sat in the situation room and stood for America’s values. I know what it takes, and I can tell you as commander-in-chief, Kamala won’t disrespect our military and our veterans. She reveres our Medal of Honor recipients. She won’t be sending love letters to dictators. She will defend democracy and our Constitution and will protect America from enemies foreign and domestic.

Hillary Clinton, DNC 08/19/2014

She's simply saying that Harris will keep her sworn oath to the Constitution.

When we as Democratic partisans see our political opponents slide toward regarding us as enemies, toward speaking of us as enemies, that increases our obligation to assert the role we share with them as fellow citizens.

Those who take the oath serve all Americans without regard to political affiliation and swear to protect the Constitution from all enemies.

It's language contained in the Oath Administration Act pursuant to Article VI of the United States Constitution passed by the 1st United States Congress. The President of the Senate (Vice President) takes the following oath:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

It's the law.

The president has been standing there for about five minutes, wishing the crowd would stop cheering for him and let him speak. But he's gracious about it.

His delivery is very good, but his fundamental strategy is wrong. Trump is both a barely coherent buffoon and a genuine threat to our political institutions. We need to let the first be seen more. People have heard enough about the second.

Senator Warnock should also be booked to fire up stadium-sized audiences every weekend from here to November. I'm still keeping my MIDOTW endorsement on Representative Crockett, but I would not mind if Warnock wins the trophy instead.

Senator Coons gets a thumbs-up too. He should speak as opening act for Crockett or Warnock.

Dr. Biden gave a perfectly respectable address. In other company it might have stood out, but not tonight.

When we as Democratic partisans see our political opponents slide toward regarding us as enemies, toward speaking of us as enemies, that increases our obligation to assert the role we share with them as fellow citizens.

Americans became each other's enemies once. In what followed, more Americans died than in any foreign war. We cannot let that happen again. That danger is remote, if less so than it should be. But even in the small ways that are plausible, we must not be enemies. The repercussions would not be 655,000 dead. But they would be bad enough.

AOC was competent, but the timbre of her voice was a bit like what I use when I need to make myself heard through a lot of noise. Probably works for her too, same as it does for me, but she would need to remember to switch to microphone voice in order to match Kamala's effectiveness as an orator.

Now Hillary is on. I don't think she'll do any harm in front of a friendly audience like this. The crowd likes her.

That was very interesting. Polls have proven to not always be very reliable. And, these anecdotal bits are definitely more fun!

i think you have representative sampling and anecdotal evidence backward.

I recently spoke to my former wife who had just talked to her brother. They were raised in Milwaukee and he currently lives in the very conservative area north of Green Bay. He is mid 70s, white, former military, biker/gearhead and long time Repub who voted for the Felon twice. He told her that he is voting for Kamala because he is sick of the Felon and thinks she has a vision for the future that is hopeful. And many people he knows feels the same way.

If THIS guy votes for Kamala the groundswell is larger than anybody suspects. Kind of fun to think about.
