Demented Donnie is a moron. Yet some Jesuit-educated Hoyas still support him. Then again, they seem to lap up disinformation and his lies like free beer. (Goober Comer's CIA coverup of the Hunter Biden investigation, the Hunter Biden pardon, etc) Former president Donald Trump rarely updates his political rhetoric — he’s using many of the same lines against Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 that he used against Joe Biden in 2020 — so it’s always news when a fresh talking point emerges. In recent days, Trump has claimed that the “average American family” or the “typical household” has suffered a hike in spending of $28,000 under the Biden presidency. The Trump campaign did not respond to queries about how this was calculated. We think we may have figured it out. It makes little sense. It’s never a good sign when a presidential campaign refuses to explain the math behind a new talking point. But it would be par for the course for Trump to misunderstand a random statistic in a blog post and try to twist it for political purposes. In any case, he’s ignoring the gains in income that have exceeded price inflation. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/18/trump-claim-kamala-harris-price-hikes-28000/

This is not true. The WaPo from June 26, 2024 In five battleground states, county-level officials have tried to block the certification of vote tallies — which election experts worry is a test run for trying to thwart a Biden victory. Certification of local results is a key target in this effort, a once-mundane administrative step that has become a flash point in the debate over election security — and a potential opportunity to subvert the will of voters. Election officials in the nation’s 3,000-plus counties must sign off on results, followed by a similar process at the state level. Typically, certification does not mean there were no errors — it simply reflects the votes tallied at that point. And it does not preclude lawsuits contesting those results; in fact, in some states lawsuits cannot be filed until after certification is complete. Since 2020, county-level election officials in five key battleground states — Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — have tried to block the certification of vote tallies in both primaries and general elections. So far, none of the efforts have succeeded. In some cases, the actions came up against strict state rules limiting the role of county election boards in determining electoral outcomes, and critics say those rules will serve as essential guardrails this fall to thwart any coordinated efforts to set aside a state’s popular vote. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/26/certification-2024-election-results/NBC News, about as mainstream as you can get from August 7, 2024. Georgia gave local officials significant new powers over the certification of elections results Tuesday, a move that could delay or derail future postelection certification processes. In a 3-2 vote, the Republican-controlled State Election Board voted to define the certification of election results as “attest[ing], after reasonable inquiry, that the tabulation and canvassing of the election are complete and accurate and that the election results are a true and accurate accounting of all votes cast in that election.” The rule does not define "reasonable inquiry," which means that different counties will most likely interpret the rule differently. It's expected to allow county election boards to request information and potentially delay or block certification of results if they see fit. And the resulting delays could block the timely reporting of election results to state and federal authorities. www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/georgia-gives-local-officials-new-powers-investigate-election-results-rcna165257Nevada in June: www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/nevada-county-refuses-certify-results-two-local-primaries-rcna161176

Demented Donnie never met an oath he didn't violate. Human scum. Former Trump chief of staff and retired Marine Gen. John Kelly rejected former President Donald Trump’s comments that the Presidential Medal of Freedom that honors civilians was “much better” than the Medal of Honor given to service members, telling CNN that the two honors are “Not even close. No equivalency of any kind.” The Presidential Medal of Freedom is “given for some good works done or in fewer cases for other considerations, but they’re not even close,” Kelly said. “Think of Normandy, Iwo Jima, Vietnam or Fallujah,” Kelly told CNN. “The Medal of Honor is earned, not won, by incredibly brave actions on the battlefield under fire typically by very young men who joined when others did not to defend their country. Their oath to the nation is essentially the oath the president and members of Congress take, that federal judges take, that political appointees also take and includes ‘…that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties…’ www.cnn.com/2024/08/19/politics/john-kelly-donald-trump-medal-of-honor/index.html

Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump in five of seven battleground states, according to new polling shared first with Semafor that shows a tight presidential election. Harris leads Trump in Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Nevada when third parties are factored in, according to new polling from British firm Focaldata which was conducted online between Aug. 6-16. In some cases, her lead is extremely slim, well within the margin of error; in Pennsylvania, for instance, Harris has a single percentage-point advantage (she leads Trump 48% to 47%). Meanwhile, Trump leads Harris 46% to 45% in Arizona and 49% to 45% in Georgia — both states that voted for President Joe Biden in 2020. www.semafor.com/article/08/18/2024/harris-leads-trump-in-five-of-seven-battlegrounds-poll

Retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a prominent conservative legal scholar put on the bench by President George H.W. Bush, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump, whose candidacy he describes as an existential threat to American democracy. It will be the first time Luttig, a veteran of two Republican administrations, has voted for a Democrat. “In the presidential election of 2024 there is only one political party and one candidate for the presidency that can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law,” Luttig wrote in a statement obtained exclusively by CNN. “As a result, I will unhesitatingly vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.” www.cnn.com/2024/08/19/politics/conservative-republican-endorses-harris-calls-trump-a-threat-to-democracy/index.html

I doubt that Demented Donnie ever played a team sport. Malignant narcissistic sociopaths generally do not. Steve Kerr jabs at Trump with Stephen Curry taunt in convention speech Back from Paris after coaching the U.S. men’s basketball team to a gold medal, Steve Kerr spoke Monday at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago — and the Warriors coach brought the house down at United Center by borrowing a taunt from a certain Golden State superstar. “After the [election] results are tallied that night,” Kerr said at the end of his remarks, “we can — in the words of the great Steph Curry — we can tell Donald Trump, ‘Night, night.’” “The joy, the compassion, the commitment to our country that we saw at the Olympics — that is what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have, and it’s what our country needs,” Kerr said. “Real leadership.” “I believe that leaders must display dignity. I believe that leaders must tell the truth,” he said. “I believe that leaders should be able to laugh at themselves. I believe leaders must care for and love the people they are leading. I believe leaders must possess knowledge and expertise, but with full awareness that none of us has all the answers. … With Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, I see all those qualities.” www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/08/20/steve-kerr-dnc-speech/

Hollywood hasn’t created a decent new idea in decades but the DNC can rewrite Kamala’s life story in 3 weeks to make her a serious candidate.
Kudos.

Hollywood hasn’t created a decent new idea in decades but the DNC can rewrite Kamala’s life story in 3 weeks to make her a serious candidate. Kudos. Anything that you’ve seen or heard that’s not true? For openers that she has been “tough on the border” Only if “tough” equals abdicate responsibility. And yes, “Trump killed” the bipartisan deal. Why did she and Joe wait 3 1/2 years to address the issue. She is being portrayed as a “transformational” candidate whose own Presidential run was an abject flop. Prior to Joe’s departure she polled lower than Dick Chaney as VP. Other than that gospel truth thus far.

Great to hear Fox talking points again! While you may have disagreed with the substantive provisions of Biden's proposed legislation it is factually inaccurate to state that he did nothing for 3+ years but facts and truth are foreign concepts to "Republicans." I guess Biden's first day in office is too late to propose immigration reform. It died because it needed ten "Republicans" in the Senate to vote for it which was impossible. Just like Demented Donnie killing Langford's bipartisan bill. The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 was a legislative bill that was proposed by President Joe Biden on his first day in office. It was formally introduced in the House by Representative Linda Sánchez. It died with the ending of the 117th Congress. U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 To provide an earned path to citizenship, to address the root causes of migration and responsibly manage the southern border. Introduced in the House of Representatives as H.R. 1177 by Linda Sanchez (D–CA) on February 18, 2021 Committee consideration by House Judiciary The bill would make sweeping changes across the board to the United States immigration, visa, and border control system, including reversal and Congressional prohibition of many of the immigration-related executive actions of former president Donald Trump; providing a path to legal residence and eventual citizenship for as many as 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, as well as current DACA and Temporary Protected Status beneficiaries, essential workers on a non-immigrant status, and agricultural laborers; recreating the V visa program to allow families to await immigrant visa approval together in the US; ending country-specific visa annual maximums; granting immediate relative status to spouses and children of green card holders; and other changes. In contrast to the Trump administration's policy of building a border wall, this legislation focuses on smart border screening and enhanced enforcement against criminal organizations. It also seeks to protect border communities, by increasing CBP agent training and education for professionalism and develops a unified standard of care for those in CBP custody. It creates a Border Community Stakeholder Advisory Committee to investigate misconduct by DHS agents. www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-three-immigration-record
