OK, I've said that I don't care who Kamala Harris picks for her VP because anyone she picks will be great, but I really like this guy, Governor Tim Walz.
I like how plainly he speaks, and the unvarnished way he goes after weird JD Vance.
An interesting side note in all of this is that the Supreme Court has given total immunity to a guy with six months left to serve and no fucks left to give.
We are 6 mos. out from making a consequential decision not only about the direction of our nation, but also about the man who will lead us. Leadership, despite the lies we tell ourselves, still matters as does the character of the man who will lead. So, as one man sits in the Oval Office buffeted by doubts about his age while seeking solutions to wars, the economy and the concerns many of us hold, and the other sits in a court room stewing in recriminations and anger, seeking retribution and dictatorship, I am reminded of what the Greek philosopher Heraclitus noted: "Character is destiny."
So, for US, the character of our next president will determine our destiny.
A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger:
“What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president.”
“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The man, visibly surprised by the old woman’s, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the old woman replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don’t know shit?”
Trump says that he’ll implement a religious test for immigrants if he is elected:
“If you don’t like our religion…then we don’t want you in our country.” @SawyerHackett
October 22, 2020: Trump says if Biden is elected, the stock market will crash.
January 19, 2024: The stock market reaches a new record high as the S&P 500 closes at an all-time high of 4839.81.
@BowtiedlLa@TNSouthernlib tRump: gets off escalator " I'm going to keep black and brown people out of our country!"
And y'all been suck'n his teet for that chef boyardee (both in lack of flavor and consistency) cool aid ever since!
WATCH Rep. Jared Moskowitz stuff James Comer and his hypocritical Republican colleagues into a locker for inviting Hunter Biden to speak, but refusing to hear him.
THIS IS BRILLIANT!
BREAKING: Legendary band Green Day ignites a firestorm of rage among MAGA supporters by changing the lyrics of their hit song "American Idiot" during a New Year's Eve performance to mock Trump supporters.
This is the perfect way to start 2024...
During their performance on Dick Clark's New Year's Eve Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, the band changed their lyrics from "I’m not part of a redneck agenda" to "I’m not part of the MAGA agenda."
Predictably, the perpetually victim-minded MAGA cultists lost their collective mind.
Republican billionaire Elon Musk wrote on Twitter: "Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it 🤣"
As usual, Musk's political analysis is rubbish. The idea that MAGA — which exists solely to harness racial and cultural grievances towards the goal of pushing through more tax cuts for the rich — is anything other than the "machine" is patently absurd.
Another Twitter user, clearly believing themselves far more clever than they really are, wrote: "They're so under the boot, they're changing their name to Green New Deal Day."
"Green Day is now Green Done. Don’t they understand it’s no longer Hollywood Cool with the rest of us to take potshots at DJT? We the people are speaking!” wrote one Truth Social user.
Far-right racist and failed Congressional candidate Laura Loomer, a rabid pro-Trump agitator, tagged Green Day as "losers" on Twitter.
"Green Day is a woke joke," wrote another furious Trump fan. Others called them "has beens," "washed up," and "sellouts."
As usual, Republicans are frothing at the mouth because they have no influential cultural figures to champion their bigotries and reactionary politics.
Together, let's make 2024 the year that MAGA dies at the ballot box for good!
