I don't know what thread to put this, it seemed sort of 2025 doom walking though. The recent Supreme (Christian Sharia) Court ruling on presidential immunity gave a virtual blank check to official acts, and a cloak of invisibility to the investigation of intentions behind presidential actions. With the ruling, if a President sold a Supreme Court appointment, an official act, to Elon Musk for X amount of dollars, the president would have immunity for that. Correct? Discuss.

Andrew Jackson is by far the worst VP pick in history. Lincoln's VP, who after Lincoln's assassination, tried to politically undo the anti-slavery victory (it wasn't about States' Rights folks) in the Civil War. History will tell of course. I think Sarah Palin is also likely to remain as one of the stand out disaster of VP picks.

The immigration level that is needed should be determined as part of comprehensive immigration reform. The neo-conservative economic revolution of the 1980s has made housing unaffordable to wide swaths of the American public, this, indirectly or directly, impacts decisions on having children. The economy requires a certain level of immigration, for both skilled and unskilled jobs. Building a wall, or talking about building a wall because you're too incompetent to actually build a wall, is a stupid and misguided policy in terms of solving America's long-term economic needs regarding immigration.

Probably Trump's most visible incompetence when it came to "infrastructure" he couldn't even build (more than what 42 miles?) that stupid/useless wall.

A couple of notes to JD Vance. 1. Jesus had no children, I couldn't find any references as to whether Jesus had any cats 2. Donald Trump should carry JD Vance to full term to November, not sure the MAGA extremists would empathize with an aborted VP.

I go back and forth on Mark Kelly. He's kind of a quiet guy, not sure if he's the campaigner that's needed at this moment. He looks good on paper on immigration and his appeal to the Southwest, but, does he look good on the campaign stage? Do you remember who Hillary Clinton's vice-presidential candidate was? (Of course you do, you're a junkie.) However, Tim Kaine was a boring candidate, probably boring was a choice that was made, I don't think that's the choice to make this time. Chris Cillizza has a short video out today about Biden's historical assessment that touches on the messaging aspect of the Presidency, it mirrored my thoughts on this governing AND campaign essential mix.

July has been wild. I don't know what October surprise could top anything from this month.

She has a book coming out. You don't hang out around Dementia Don for all those years without learning something about grifting.

Only in the USA could a liberal be considered a radical, rather than as the centrists that they are.

Does a non-answer answer, still count as an answer?

Would that effect her insurance rates?

He was a kid, or maybe he wasn't, I don't really care what he does in the privacy of his own home with consenting furniture. Perhaps he has a thing for settees. His sexual activity is of zero interest to me. You have seen him?

Are you expecting an answer?

and look at housing in Switzerland or Russia - no extradition treaties

Where are those statistics from? Are they from the height of the Trump economic collapse?

Specially designed for bone spurs?

Correction. Jim Rivaldo was the media/design guy of Harvey Milk, not the campaign manager. He then had the same role with Harris's first campaign for District Attorney. His last campaign before he died.

I don't understand the t-shirt. What's it referring to? It can't be Trump's health if it's a MAGA rally?

Please someone have the time and energy to start an on-line petition to have Harris and Trump appear on Celebrity Jeopardy before the election. Please Other topics: 10 Commandments, Bible Verses, New Testament/Old Testament

Seeing how you brought up Queer Cheap for the Straight Veep. In an interview with the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy folks with Harris last year, one of the questions they asked her was if her campaign manager for her first campaign (for District Attorney) was the same man who manager Harvey Milk's campaign for office. Yes, it was. Harris and Milk had the same man managing their campaigns.

Hopefully, at sometime in his future, he will embrace curiosity and infinite possibilities again (I'm not speaking about his sexuality, which I don't care about).

Finally, a candidate who can dance. I'm going to call it The Harris Tweed.

Trump calling Harris dumb as bricks. Nonsense. My dream would be to have Harris challenge Trump to appear on Celebrity Jeopardy with her. Forget the debates, let's have her cream him on US State Capitols, or USA Constitutional Amendments, or Supreme Court Decisions, or USA Allies.

Rather than governing - they leave that to the Supreme Court - the GOP Representatives seem obsessed with creating media events for FOX News to drone on about to avoid mentioning the defeated former President's incompetence and his fraud and rape convictions - by a jury of his peers. Why does Tennessee have so many nutty Republicans elected?

@EmmetK I know you like to obsess on individual polls. And maybe you're in the process of posting this one - so sorry if I scooped you. It's just an individual poll so it might not mean anything - right Emmett? Individual polls aren't a trend - right Emmett? Harris leads Trump 44% - 42%. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/harris-leads-trump-44-42-us-presidential-race-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2024-07-23/
