I think Mara Gay is right. The full quote is at 5:00 in this Morning Joe segment about the racist and sexist attacks on Kamala. Here's a fuller version of the quote: Of course @EmmetK will say "racism sexism, blah, blah, blah." But I started this thread just to record some of the most ridiculous examples of "Dumb As Rocks" Trumpers saying dumb, racist, and sexist shit. 1. "Dumb As Rocks" Politico says early indicators of how this race will go is "dumb as rocks" versus "the crook". Good! It is objectively true that Trump is a felon, and a fraudster, and a sexual abuser. That was determined by judges and juries. The point has alr…

I can't imagine Israel would have dared kill Ismail Haniyeh while he was in Qatar, but did he really think he could go to Iran and live? Especially after Hezbollah recently attacked Israel? What incredible arrogance and stupidity. Well, hopefully this isn't the start of WW3. If Iran is too bold in its retaliation, this could lead to all-out war.

Maybe I'm the wrong demographic for the message. Yes, of course, Donald Trump and JD Vance, are weird. Aren't we all a bit weird? My concern about them isn't the weirdness - the spray tan, the hair spray, the who shakes hands the longest, cheating at golf - it's that they are dangerous. A federal abortion ban, outlawing birth control and ending no fault divorce. Those are 2025 policies (which JD Vance has written the forward for the upcoming book) which are far more than weird - they are dangerous, anti-freedom, anti-American.

The RNC ended with the speech from Trump. He cobbled together one and a half hours of LIES, LIES, LIES and self praise, while avoiding to talk about ABORTION, GUNS or P2025, which he referred to briefly as a "wonderful plan developed by wonderful people".... and then he reveled in falling Balloons, while the crowd chanted "4 More Years".... The crowd loved it.....ate the shit up, They were engaged, enthralled, enchanted, some even resorting to "crying" for their Savior... And what a Family affair..... Every family member Trump could afford to pay for was there...... Jared and Ivanka looked like 2 BILLION Dollars $$$$ LITERALLY ! And later that evening,…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on Sunday, ending his bid for reelection following a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about his fitness for office just four months before the election. The decision comes after escalating pressure from Biden’s Democratic allies to step aside following the June 27 debate, in which the 81-year-old president trailed off, often gave nonsensical answers and failed to call out the former president’s many falsehoods. Biden plans to serve out the remainder of his term in office, which ends at noon on Jan. 20, 2025.

Biden Will Drop Out Of 2024 Race, Will Not Endorse VP Kamala Harris Halperin was driven into exile by Me Too, appropriately. But now he is back. And apparently his sources are still good. I like this a lot. I don't think a Kamala coronation makes any sense. I think it's better for her to win the nomination the way Biden himself did in 2020: without Obama's blessing. That said, I think it is pretty clear Kamala will win the nomination. And drive a huge spike in enthusiasm and relief among the Democratic base. It does completely reset the race. Who knows what the impact will be? But, if true, there is now only one smelly disgusting lying felon in the …

This just in from Howdy Arabia. In Texas 70% of people live in seven urban counties, 30% of the population live in the other 247 largely rural counties. The Texas GOP has voted in favor of a policy to make a new requirement for state-wide races. To win a candidate will need to win a majority of the counties in the State. Not win the most votes. Win the most counties. The GOP has voted to have land represented not people, in state-wide elections. There is other crazy stuff beyond this, but this was a stand out anti-democracy stance. Proposed Texas GOP platform would lock Democrats out of state office | The Texas Tribune

While debating isn't how the presidency actually works as a job, and that was hard to watch. Biden was mumbling, and Trump was loudly lying about anything and everything.

Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, is Jewish, and his grandparents were Holocaust survivors. When they arrived in the United States in 1949, they reportedly had two dollars to their name and no family willing to take them in. Documents from the Hebrew I…

The Emerging GOP Plan To Beat Kamala Harris I argued in one of my long-winded rants that Biden resigning would completely fuck up Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita and their cynical plan to enable Trump's authoritarianism. The two dictator enablers are now on record. And if this is the core of their plan, Biden and Team Pelosi have fucked them up good. They are in big trouble. The beauty of the campaign Wiles and LaCivita built was one simple and obvious idea: Biden is old, weak, and feeble. Arguably, they did it so well that they forced Biden to resign. Although mostly they just poked US voters to feel what they felt anyway, but a little more intensely. My…

Some Republicans who are trying to defend the lying old raping felon they nominated for POTUS are trying to argue that Democrats have engaged in a "coup". Can you spot which of these four is a "coup"? 1. 71 % of Americans wanted Biden to step aside because they think he is too old to serve another term. 57 % of Americans wanted Trump to step aside because they think he is too crooked and dishonest to serve another term. Biden listened to voters. Republicans cover up for Trump's lies and crimes and treat him like he is invincible. Is that the coup? 2. 2 in 3 Americans think Trump may have committed serious crimes, such as inciting an insurrection…

71 % of Americans want Joe Biden to drop out. 57 % of Americans want Donald Trump to drop out. Strong majorities want both old men gone. The difference in percentages is that Democrats have had an honest discussion of the fact that Biden's age raises questions about his ability to serve four more years. That is now off the table. He listened to Americans, including 2 in 3 Democrats, and is gone. When will Trump stop lying to Americans, and start listening to them? 57 % of America wants the lying raping felon gone. The issue with Trump is worse. It's not that he is old, and people question whether he can serve until he is 88. It is that he is a crook,…

The vibes have changed, and now even the Washington Post has editorialized on Biden dropping out. I think they have it right,imagining this July 4th speech: My Fellow Americans, Today, we celebrate not just the birth of our nation but the life it has lived. How have we lasted this long? How have we endured, grown, prospered? Our extraordinary framers were steered by a revolutionary premise: Our union would never be perfect. We would not be governed by an all-powerful king or sovereign. We would always be a work in progress as a nation and as individuals. Each generation would build on the efforts of its predecessors. This was essential…

The question on the table now is, "Can Joe Biden win?" And it seems to still be unsettled. If he can't win, everything about what he could do in a second term is wishful thinking. My Lichtman-centric mind is settled on two options that make sense: One, Biden stays. Two, Biden resigns so Harris can run as the incumbent with a unified party behind her. Anything else, including Biden completing his term but stepping aside as nominee, just seems like too big a risk, based on Lichtman's Keys. And polls that show Biden and Harris as running about the same against Trump. I hope Biden and leaders like Pelosi and Jeffries and Schumer are also looking at it from the…

Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee dies at age 74 So while I am the worst poster in the world at keeping a thread narrowly on topic, or being terse, I thought I would start a thread to focus on Biden's medical condition. I don't see how Biden can survive as the Democratic nominee. But he will probably survive as President. That's if the reporters who are behind the endless leaks now know what they are talking about. What should people think about that, if he wants to remain as POTUS until January? Is he mentally fit to be President for six more months? Two points about Jackson Lee. First, she was a widely respected leader who deserves to be honored. Second…

it comes as no surprise Trump has officially chosen the MOST MAGA of his VP final ass-kissers to be his running mate. Now its double MAGA all day EVERY day. However, there are rumbles it doesnt sit well with his party, as the fear of HIM ever becoming President might be off putting to voters other than their core extreme MAGA base. Vance started off as a never-Trumper, harshly criticizing Trump when he hit the scene, then slowly krept up his ass, where he currently resides as Trumps new lap dog..... HE supports the harshest of the P2025 policies Trump wants to unleash, including NO aid for Ukraine. Vance was the candidate originally proposed and voracio…

Partisan judge Eileen Cannon in Florida has shot her cannon, aiming at the Classified Docs indictment of Trump, and DISMISSED the case on grounds Prosecutor Jack Smith should have never been appointed to the case. This issue had been previously litigated, and Cannon was sitting on her decision, for MONTHS on the issue. Her 90 page decision came down today. I guess Trumps near death experience this past weekend "softened her". ? Cant help believing tossing the case out was Cannons goal from the start. Watch for her future appointment to the Supreme Court

I understand this coming election hasnt given Americans much choice, 2 candidates that the majority of Americans DONT want, and as such when asked who they will be voting for then, they respond that they will be writing in a name, ie Susan Collins writing Nicki Haley. I personally have heard this before when asking various people in conversation who they will be voting for... Picking some rando name..... COME ON PEOPLE, this is NOT a game. Picking a rando name is a throwaway vote, and could have disastrous consequences. YOUR pick has ZERO chance of winning so WHY throw away your vote, where it might count, to make your point that you dont support either nomin…
