"Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are not taking the same exam... He gets to be lawless, she has to be flawless." — Van Jones giving a dose of reality to the CNN panel.
Kamala Harris on Republicans mocking her laugh and joyful demeanor: "I'll say to whoever the young people are who are watching this: Sometimes your adversaries will try to turn your strength into a weakness. Don't you let them."
In a century from now, I doubt history will look kindly at the 45th President.
I’m betting it will review a tyrant, a plague and a group of followers who put party and self interest over country and American democracy at risk.
Predictions:
- Kamala Harris will win both the popular and electoral vote in November.
- Trump will declare victory in key states the night of the election, well before any of the results are finalized…shades of 2020.
- He’ll do it to activate his coup 2.0 plan, contesting the results and trying to prevent certification.
- His cadre of billionaires, including the owner of this site, will enthusiastically support him in this endeavor. They couldn’t care less about the will of the people. They’re in it to amass wealth, power and influence.
- His acolytes in Congress will join suit, demanding contested results be adjudicated by the higher courts, where they have people standing by to do their bidding.
It will be a more organized version of their 2020 attempt.
I say this not to make you anxious. It’s to prepare you for the road ahead.
Over the next 97 days you’ll be inundated with propaganda, especially here. They’ll push the “they’re flying in illegals to vote” nonsense and every wild conspiracy they can conjure to whip their base into a frenzy. Your timelines will be overrun by Elon’s bots and trolls.
STAY FOCUSED.
You’ll hear about voter rolls being purged. Check your status often. Get others to check theirs.
REMAIN UNDETERRED.
If you want to see the change you seek, you have to vote for it. You have to get others engaged in this fight.
This is our calling. Our turn to repel fascism and return America to her ideals.
We have 97 days.
We hold the line. We win.
President Biden: I have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. There is a time and place for long years of experience in public life. But there is also a time and place for new voices, fresh voices, and yes, younger voices. And that time and place is now
A courageous and selfless decision. The President did what he’s done for the last four years - he listened to the American people and put the country’s interests ahead of his own.
The exact opposite of Donald Trump.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, is donating $45 million a month to the Trump campaign.
If democracy is to survive in the US, we need to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.
We need a government that represents all, not just billionaires.
When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.
When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.
And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.
Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.
Just posting this because I agree with Republicans who NOW condemn political violence.
Because they definitely haven't been calling for a "bloodbath" if trump loses, putting a bound and gagged Biden on their pickup trucks, or for civil wars, right?

The weird part about the GOAT debate is that we all have to ignore the fact that LeBron is clearly the better, more versatile, more athletic, stronger, more dedicated, more durable player who faced better competition, won as an underdog, and is a better human being.
Just to talk about how MJ dominated for 6 years over an 8 year period, against inferior competition, as a less skilled player, on the best team in the league, with the best coach in the league.
The story is played out, it's time to let go of the mental gymnastics it takes to keep old yellow eyes at the top.
I’m not arguing Joe Biden is above the law, you’re arguing Donald Trump is.
If you have evidence of a Joe Biden crime then by all means. But we have evidence of Donald Trump’s crimes but you don’t care.
We’re not the same. I’m an American. You’re in a cult.
