I just overheard someone say “I’m not voting for Kamala Harris because she is a woman, I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I AM a woman”
This needs to be said more.
It now seems inevitable that the momentum is shifting, and enough of the party leadership is speaking out such that Biden's hand will be forced.
Whether it is the right decision for the party, we'll agree to disagree. But what I do take great exception with is the disrespectful way this man has been treated! He is not the one of the most successful presidents, if not THE most successful of modern day history. What he has accomplished, and saved us from, all while stabilizing our country and restoring our place in the world, is simply remarkable. He deserved much better than he is currently getting from members of his own party.
I also want to call out members of our media, including CNN and MSNBC which have been incredibly awful, the New York Times which was salivating from day one to get rid of him, former Obama staffers who have a vindictive view of him and have put him down since day one of his presidency, and other pundits like Ezra Klein and Nate Silver, tweeting every hour on the hour, like frothing at the mouth like rabid dogs. Y'all look ridiculous. You can only about being right and your damn ratings!
It will be what it will be, and we will make the best of whatever situation, and do what we need to do ahead of this election and win. But I have lost a great deal of respect for a number of people, and I will not forget!
John Lewis dedicated his life to freedom, justice, and equality – inspiring generations of Americans, including me, to try and live up to his example. Michelle and I are proud that the plaza at the Obama Presidential Center will bear John’s name, and honor his legacy.
I have seen videos of assassinations of political figures since I was a kid.
Kennedy, MLK, RFK, even Reagan.
I have NEVER seen one where the crowd starts cheering and chanting, and the target starts grandstanding.
EVER.
If you think I’m going to get all worked up about some wacko who attempted shooting of a man who threatens U.S. citizens every fucking day of the week for almost a decade….yeah…it’s not going to happen.
Donald Trump is not a Presidential candidate. He is a fucking felon. A criminal who has been charged with 37 counts under The Espionage Act for crimes against the United States of America.
There are at least 80 million plus people who have been dumbfounded that some nut job hadn’t already attempted it…years ago.
Many people have a memory about as long as their d*ck.
If you think I’m on a rampage, I am. I’m an old woman who sees the writing on the wall if we don’t prevail. I’m old enough, I’ve witnessed much and I see things on and beneath the surface. We are standing on the precipice. The time to act is now.
@patric_reynolds I like and respect Warner, but I think he’s jumping the gun here. As a party, we’re really good at shooting ourselves in the foot.
If Biden can prove the debate was a one off, he’s our nominee.
At this point, he’s our nominee, and people need to stop leaking unhelpful shit.
We’re proudly flying our American flag today.
Not a Trump flag. Not “An Appeal to Heaven.”
Our American flag is flying right side up, signifying a country that is strong and secure with a great president and vice president.

@shannonrwatts It’s where a lifelong fascination with politics was born for many of us - along with a new or restored belief that there is honor in the Presidency and WH staffers…sure do miss those days.
@shannonrwatts Aw. It's rather clever. There are several episodes I think of often as were struggling here in 2024.
(I RARELY watch tv. That show was worth it, imo)
