I hope they dr. oz the Fuck out of j.d. vance

They should pepper in some callbacks to Mittens and Bain Capital.

What's this guy's pitch? "With a little hard work, you too can become a venture capitalist, raise costs to cover profit expectations, and freeze wages"?

I can't wait to see how he tries to thread the needle on how to attack the vice president in their debate. I hope three huge flies buzz around his head this time.

The off-the-the-charts both-sidesing

Just heard on MSNBC by a "reporter" (paraphrasing).

The conspiracies are abounding on both sides. You have Republican lawmakers blaming the shooting on Democrats and the rhetoric of President Biden with absolutely no evidence to that. And then you have a top aide to a Democratic lawmaker who was fired for posting in social media that it was too bad the shooter missed.

Talk about false equivalencies. I won't even go into how faulty this comparison is.

Violence Breaks Out at Fringe Political Rally

A gathering of fringe conspiracy theorists and gun enthusiasts in Pennsylvania was disrupted when a shooter fired an AR-15 killing one attendee and injuring three, including the speaker on stage. More as this develops.

In a normal world, that's how this would be teated.

President Joe Biden is calling out the press in Detroit!

"Donald Trump is getting a free pass!"

He then went into a litany of the crazy shit the rapist has said recently. The crowd also booed when he mentioned the press.

"We're gonna do what the press hasn't. We're gonna call out Donald Trump for what he is."

And he just used the word rape.

Was thinking "this would be a good time to hear from the Lincoln Project"

I went to their website to see if they've responded to all the debate noise. What I found is that their most recent posting of ads and news was from May

I hope they're still in the game. The more loud Republican/former Republican voices against the rapist, the better. I also find it appalling that "honorable" people like John Kelly will rat out the rapist in a book for money, but won't speak out about it. It boggles my mind that in finding the rapist unfit, he refuses to say any more.

How President Biden DID outperform the rapist on Thursday

President Biden told the truth 100% of the time. I would love to see a little more vigor next time, but IMHO, we need to set the gauge of success at truth. The DNC could host a watch party pointing out each time the rapist lies at the next debates. And then they could flood us with ads that ask "do you trust people who lie to you constantly."

Just spitballin' on an early Saturday evening.

Vaughn Hillyard has been trump-matized

Just heard him on Nicole claiming it will be difficult for Biden to counter the Florida rapist's false claims in the upcoming debate. As if a liar can't be debunked. It makes me wonder why establishment-type people always give more deference to those in the white power movement over those who are not.

Today in History - May 29

1851 - Sojourner Truth gives her "Ain't I a Woman" speech (later revealed that Truth most likely did not speak in the vernacular recorded by white reporters present).

1917 - John Fitzgerald Kennedy is born.

1953 - Tenzing Norgay reaches the summit of Mt. Everest known in Tebet as Chomolungma.

The House minority is keeping the majority in line

Democrats make no promises about bailing out Mike Johnson again

When Republicans see Leader Jeffries they see everything that makes them angry about the Democratic party. They hate seeing someone who doesn't look like them offering the policies they prefer.

the republicon convention is going to be a total DISASTER

The WNs will be split on whether to avoid the topic of abortion and whether to use it as a stage to double down on reproductive freedom.

Instead of aspirational uplifting prime time speeches we'll get angry hostile calls for rolling back rights, bullying the weak and vengeance.

They will encourage participation in an election they insist is rigged.

Defendant trermp is going to find a way to make it a money-making scheme for himself.

It's going to be such a mess. I can't wait.
