Of course Lewandowski is brought back. Birds of a feather . . . Trump adds five new staffers, including Corey Lewandowski Trump fired Lewandowski as he entered the general election that year, months after Lewandowski was accused of assaulting a reporter at a campaign news conference in Florida. Video appeared to show Lewandowski grabbing the reporter. Lewandowski became a political commentator, including for CNN, and later joined a pro-Trump super PAC while Trump was in the White House. He was removed from the super PAC in 2021 after a donor accused him of repeatedly groping her and making unwanted sexual comments at a charity event in Las Vegas. The donor, Trashelle Odom, said in a statement that Lewandowski “repeatedly touched me inappropriately, said vile and disgusting things to me, stalked me, and made me feel violated and fearful.” A lawyer for Odom alleged that Lewandowski also threw a drink at Odom. An attorney representing Lewandowski at the time said he would not “dignify” accusations and “rumors” with a response. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/15/trump-campaign-lewandowski-new-hires/Sounds like an absolutely perfect fit for Trump.

Just a bit of light... Because most of us went to Georgetown and some of us are immigrants or first generation, and because, those of us that are not could always use a reminder:

First round draft pick, for sure.

He's an idiot. But, he is smart enough to know that President Biden wouldn't test or look to capitalize on what that immunity entails. If the positions were reversed, I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that the shooter at the Trump rally wouldn't have been a young, shooting club reject from his own "party." He'd have been an exceedingly well trained and highly skilled contractor (that probably never got the check in the mail) that could've made the shot from 5 times the distance in a hurricane.

Just a bit of light... Because most of us went to Georgetown and some of us are immigrants or first generation, and because, those of us that are not could always use a reminder: Agreed that we have stuff we take for granted and need to protect especially this November. At the same time as a latino I understand a shared set of mixed feelings towards the US government's decision making and policy choices especially after the Second World War. Since some of us are also the children of immigrants who had to flee their home countries because the US installed a genocidal dictator, deliberately economically destabilized them, or all of the above. So it's a give and take. Had to stop that communism stuff ya know? (in the case of one of my family member's country it wasn't even communism, that was the cover for private interests lobbying for the coup against an elected president, feel free to guess). So as much as I want to believe America is good and can continue to improve, I think it is important to vividly remember the road we took to get here and how it affects us now. This mentality and thinking can still be seen today when feeding kids who can't afford lunch at school can be called communism by a candidate and people actually think it is. This video always makes me laugh, but in the sad way of how little some people care about the lives they destroy and seemingly enjoy it. What a patriot.

Everyone who served in the military are "suckers" and "losers" so why should the CMH be greater than the PMF given to Rush Limbaugh? I can't wait for hypocritical liar sycophant JD Vance spin this one.

This opinion cuts deep against a malignant narcissist like Demented Donnie. Donald Trump is making all of us sleepy I’ve called Donald Trump a lot of things over the last eight years — reckless, callous, nativist, rageful, shameless and even adventurous, which was actually a compliment. But here’s something new and unexpected. Suddenly, Trump is kind of boring. I don’t mean boring in the pragmatic sense of: I’ve decided to tamp down the crazy, act like a normal candidate and let the spotlight fall on my very flawed opponent. No, I mean boring like Greenpeace protests and rental cars. Boring as in same old. Played out. Predictable. This is a stunning turn of events. As any of us who grew up in the New York media market during the 1980s could tell you, Trump was an entertainer before he was anything else. He didn’t become a billionaire celebrity because his name was on all those gaudy buildings; the financiers put his name on the buildings because he made himself a celebrity. He was, in a sense, the original influencer. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/16/donald-trump-boring/

He became a billionaire (and also a celebrity) because his daddy gave $400 million. That he isn’t richer than he is serves as an indictment of his business acumen. This is a guy that sucks at almost everything except being a demagogue.

The rule for picking a Veep candidate - first, do no harm. Americans’ first impressions of Walz are positive, negative for Vance Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has made a positive first impression after Vice President Kamala Harris announced him as her running mate. But Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), former president Donald Trump’s choice for vice president, is not winning the popularity contest. A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finds 32 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of Vance and 42 percent find him unfavorable, a net favorability rating of -10 points. For Walz, 39 percent are favorable and 30 percent are unfavorable, giving him a net positive rating of nine points. It’s still early for both Vance and Walz, with more than one-quarter of Americans saying they don’t have an opinion of each. The two candidates agreed this week to face off in a debate on Oct. 1. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/16/vance-walz-post-poll/
