MAGA GOP racism and misogyny will be on full display. Surely the way to win over swing voters and suburban women, right??

How about starting a career laying under a political boss 30 years her senior? Good messaging? Admirable? Even if this were true, a grown man slut shaming on a message board is a terrible look.. Smh.. Harris started her career as a DA in 1990... www.reuters.com/article/world/fact-check-kamala-harrisandwillie-brownhad-a-relationshipover-adecadeafte-idUSKBN26Y2RJ/Kamala Harris did have a relationship with Willie Brown, who later served as San Francisco’s mayor, between 1994 and 1995 ( here Los Angeles Times first linked the pair in 1994 ( here her career in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office ( here 29 and Brown, speaker of the California State Assembly ( here;), was 60 ( here; Although Brown was legally married at the time, he had reportedly been estranged from his wife, Blanche Brown, since 1981, according to People magazine ( here;As reported ( here;) by the San Francisco Chronicle, Harris and Brown broke up in 1995. On Dec. 26, 1995, reporter Herb Caen wrote in his daily column that the couple had split, adding the “news came as a shock to many, including those who found Kamala Harris attractive, intelligent and charming.” Surprised that Fox was so flat footed on Biden stepping down yesterday. I see they are trying out Willie Brown today to see how it lands. hm

Good for you. I can’t vote for either party because they care only for power and longevity. . RFK Jr? How’s your wallet these days? Trump likes to use the stock market as his “main economic indicator”. I would think you would be happy with its performance under Biden/Harris. I would like to note additional dishonesty among the Biden detractors: in 2022, when the stock market was down, they kept saying how Biden destroyed their retirement plans. Now with the markets at all time highs, I don’t see them crediting him for their flourishing retirement plans. Dishonest brokers at every turn.

“This is the blue-collar realignment of the Republican Party, and what I can tell you is for every Karen we lose, there’s a Julio and a Jamal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement,” Gaetz told Newsmax. “That bodes well for our ability to be more diverse and to be more durable as we head into not only the rest of the primary contests but also the general election.” Gaetz’s comments reveal something about an emerging Republican belief: misogyny and homophobia, especially if aimed at the stereotype of an educated, liberal, middle-class white woman (a “Karen”), can help the party win over Black and Hispanic men with sexist views. As ridiculous as Gaetz may sound, the idea that Trumpian masculinity might win over a more ethnically diverse constituency is not new. In 2020, the New York Times reported that Democrats feared Trump’s “macho appeal” to Hispanic men. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/01/republican-strategy-misogyny-matt-gaetz-trump/677302/

Par for the course for the vile MAGA GOP. This is why the GOP is doomed in its "outreach" to claw back female voters they've lost in the Donald Trump era. It's not just the assault on abortion rights, which they can't seem to hold back from, despite the resounding unpopularity of the anti-choice stance. It's that the MAGA base is getting ever more vitriolic with its misogyny. Part of that is due to the more secular dirtbags of the Joe Rogan/Elon Musk variety, who have become such a loud part of the Republican coalition under Trump. But this escalation of boldly misogynist rhetoric is also coming from the evangelicals. Republicans can't win without keeping those people happy, since the Christian right is where the GOP's organizing power still mainly resides. In her recent New York Times article about the "coarsening" of the religious right, Ruth Graham alluded to this, writing about the trend of evangelical leaders using "vulgarities." But it's not just a matter of using curse words. The vulgarities in question mostly center around an over-the-top performance of toxic masculinity: throwing around sexist terms like "sl*t" and "wh*re," homophobic slurs, and using phrases like "grow a pair." It's definitely got an overcompensation vibe to it. But along with the increasingly violent queerphobia, this means evangelical sexism is getting more overtly nasty. A lot of the faux-chivalrous condescension is being replaced with blunt malevolence and sexual objectification. www.salon.com/2024/04/01/stand-where-he-tells-you-to-stand-why-the-is-doubling-down-on-misogyny-in-2024/

Not a medical diagnosis but in my opinion he's a fat vile pig. Any Hoya doctor wish to explain the significance of his coronary calcium score?? Trump’s age and health under renewed scrutiny after Biden’s exit After weeks of intense focus on President Biden’s health and age that ended with his withdrawal from the campaign on Sunday, the script has flipped: Former president Donald Trump is now the oldest presidential candidate in history — and one who has been less transparent about his medical condition than his former opponent. Trump, a 78-year-old with a history of heart disease and obesity, according to experts, has not shared any updated bloodwork results or other specific information during this campaign to help experts assess his ongoing medical risks. Instead, he has released a vague, three-paragraph letter from his primary care physician, Bruce A. Aronwald, who wrote in November that the former president was in excellent physical and mental health, and who later said in a statement released by campaign officials to The Washington Post that “there is no need for President Trump to release another medical report in addition to the one he recently made public.” One of the most detailed releases about Trump’s health came during his presidency in 2018, when Jackson appeared at the White House press room podium and provided details that included a CT scan showing Trump’s coronary calcium score was 133, up from 34 in 2009. At the time, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, and other experts said the score indicated that Trump had heart disease. The letter also said Trump weighed 239 pounds, making him borderline obese. The following two years, Trump’s doctors revealed that his weight had increased to 243 and then 244 pounds, making him obese under government standards. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/22/trump-age-health/

The disingenuousness and fake levels of upset coupled with the blatant hypocrisy of, supposedly, intelligent people is stunning and disgusting. Cognitive dissonance is a mutha.

Despite all their intent to project confidence, there is one thing that is absolutely certain: Republicans are now scared. The breathlessness with which they are trying to frame Biden dropping out as anti-democratic, threatening law suits, and claiming that nothing has changed is a huge a tell. Their convention of lies and Trump worship is over, and now all the focus will be on the Democratic Convention. This is a huge opportunity to sell an alternative vision for the country than the dystopian hellscape Republicans are offering. Trump was nearly assassinated just a week ago and that’s already old news. Things move fast, and Democrats need to take advantage of that. Democrats have squandered enormous opportunities in the past, they best not do that when they have the temporary narrative advantage. Kamala Harris has spent three and a half years failing her way to the top. A far cry from underneath Willie Brown… This is vile and disgusting and I would have thought beneath you, but I guess not. Just keep getting your posting points from the Fake News Network.

The resemblance is uncanny minus the yanking two dudes concurrently "dance" motion.

Any word on that Hunter Biden pardon? You know... the one that President Biden said he wouldn't seek.

Are we really gonna get into an argument about “admirable”? Your guy is a rapist, a felon, an adulterer, an insurrectionist, and found liable for massive fraud, so spare me the pearl-clutching about messaging or being admirable. It’s so profoundly hollow. We know you are terrified of women and people of color being in power, so just be honest and come out and say it. Democrats in power., especially those who have failed as spectacularly as Biden/Harris. Call me racist and misogynist all you like. I will not vote for either major party ticket because neither is qualified. You? Failed how? By what metric(s)? Adults, by the way, make tough decisions all of the time. Oftentimes, if not most times, the optimal choice isn't realistic, available or possible. What do you do in your real life when you can't just take your faux outrage and your ball and go home? Not casting a vote for one of two candidates who has a chance to win doesn't make you idealistic and isn't a show of integrity.

Just a weirdo who goes on to a college basketball message board to parrot his daily Fox new fix and then back away and pretend he’s some sort of impartial observer. We will pray for him.

Nobody knows nothing. Snap poll meaningless at this point. Exclusive: Harris leads Trump 44% to 42% in US presidential race, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds In a three-way vote choice question that included independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Harris’s edge grew slightly to four points over Trump, 42 percent to 38 percent, with Kennedy drawing 8 percent of registered voters’ support. That’s a slight shift from the Reuters/Ipsos poll earlier in July, where Trump held an insignificant one-point edge over Biden. www.reuters.com/world/us/harris-leads-trump-44-42-us-presidential-race-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2024-07-23/
