WASHINGTON — More than 200 Republicans who previously worked for either former President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., or Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in an open letter Monday obtained exclusively by USA TODAY. The letter from alums of the three Republican presidential nominees prior to former President Donald Trump comes on the heels of a Democratic National Convention last week in Chicago that showcased Republican detractors of the GOP nominee. At least five former aides to former President George H.W. Bush also signed the letter, which has 238 signatures in all. --USA Today, 8/26/24 Just a bunch of RINOs, we don't need them in our new and depraved (oh, wait, I meant improved) Retrumpican party.

Was Tulsi Gabbard, the war criminal apologist, Tucker Carlson stand-in, and useful idiot for Russia the big Democratic get that the Trump campaign has been touting. If so, that’s a major flop.

From a classmate at Georgetown, a retired CIA analyst:
The GOP and Democrats are debating whether microphones should be on full-time during the upcoming debate between Trump and Harris. GOP stalwarts fear their candidate will conduct himself improperly if Trump's mike is on when Harris is speaking. During the debate between Kennedy and Nixon in 1960, a serious argument broke out in the control room. The GOP rep, alarmed by Nixon's ghastly appearance, began demanding FEWER shots of his candidate, while the Democrat rep demanded MORE shots of Nixon! A shouting match ensued, forcing Don Hewitt, who controlled the camera, to tell them to shut up! Is the same thing happening now? (David Halberstam, "The Powers that Be," p. 340)

You mean "suckers" and "losers" in his words?

Maybe the dam is breaking . . . General Larry Ellis, a retired four-star general who served in that rank under George W. Bush’s administration, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in a letter exclusively obtained by ABC News. This is the first time Ellis, who served as the commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command, has endorsed a presidential candidate, writing that “this is not a decision I take lightly, but one I believe necessary.” Donald Trump has demonstrated that he is wholly and dangerously unfit for Commander-in-Chief. He praises and emboldens our enemies that seek to weaken our country. He has denigrated our brave men and women in uniform,” Ellis writes. Ellis adds that if any service member were to ever “act just a bit like” Trump, “then he or she would be immediately removed from the leadership position, admonished, and separated from military service.” abcnews.go.com/Politics/abc-retired-4-star-general-200-former-gop/story?id=113163960

But does Weingarten have a car? MAGA GOPers = Weirdos. Add RFK, Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, et voila! Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice presidential nominee, attacked teachers who don’t have children in remarks in 2021 that resurfaced Tuesday. In his public comments, he reserved specific criticism for Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers. “You know, so many of the leaders of the left, and I hate to be so personal about this, but they’re people without kids, trying to brainwash the minds of our children,” Vance said at a Center for Christian Virtue leadership forum moderated by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt and the group’s president, Aaron Baer, in October 2021. Vance was joined by other Republican candidates in Ohio’s Senate race for 2022. www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/resurfaced-remarks-vance-bashes-teachers-union-president-not-children-rcna168552

An unserious man. In fact a malignant narcissistic clown. Congrats, HoyaTalk "Republicans" -- this is your cult leader. On Tuesday, Trump posted a video on Truth Social announcing he would be releasing another round of his “baseball card” NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. “By popular demand, I’m doing a new series of Trump digital trading cards,” Trump said. “You all know what they are, we’ve had a lot of fun with them.” newrepublic.com/post/185339/trump-nft-grift-back

I'm sure he's fine with priests pontificating about marriage.

Today is the 10th Anniversary of Obama's tan suit "controversy." Moron "Republicans" (and not even MAGAfied yet) were headed to their fainting couches as a tan sit was so unpresidential and showed disrespect for the office, even though the sainted Reagan had worn a tan suit. Despicable moron hypocrites. Remember the time a president wore a tan suit? Then remember that other time a president asked a mob of rednecks to break into a government building and kidnap lawmakers, threatening to murder them unless they declared him victor of an election he had lost? The more appropriate question would be how did something as utterly irrelevant as the color of a suit during a press conference, become the source of a huge controversy? This has to be one of the most ridiculous, stupid and shameful cases of infantilism ever displayed by the Republican party. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controversy
