Is it me, or does Vance remind you of Damien Thorn from The Omen? He even looks like the kid.

Vance is so mendacious, and evil to the core, that even Satan himself would have seriously misgivings trying to buy his soul. Although, it’s possible, Vance doesn’t have one…:)

1. What do you want to bet that Trump gets mad at Vance and tries to kick him off the ticket before November? Or, if he wins (god forbid) “fire” him as he definitely tried to do to Mike Pence. There’s going to be very little job security in a second Trump administration.

2. Trump is certainly getting a lot of mileage out of that white bandage. I wonder when he going to start selling them to his fans. You know, $35 for a clean bandage and $100 for a used one.

Trump will never get rid of Vance because it’s Putin’s pick. He’s gonna let Vance do all the work and he’s going to golf like he always does. He has no interest in governing the country or having anything to do with it.

Re #2: I can see TFG selling rectangular bandages made by that stupid pillow guy. That might help the pillow dufas get back on his feet if TFG doesn't hog all the $. Right shape, right grift...

Actually, I was thinking Trump and his MAGAts could run an operation like the government does with the “flags flown over the Capital”. They hoist a flag up, let it fly for a minute or two, bring it down, hoist another one, etc. But Trump could sit and let a MAGAt apply a square bandage, then remove it, and go on til they a supply of “used” bandages.

This is the worst presidential ticket in US history. And the Dems are too meek to defeat it.

Expand full comment

Too meek, I’d call it blind to the potential outcome if they keep Biden on the ticket.

Who do you have in mind instead of Biden at this late date?

Expand full comment

The Democrats have a plethora of talent. Here are some who come immediately to mind: Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, Raskin, Klobuchard, Schiff, Buttegieg, Shapiro to name a few.

Oh what a fun fight that would be in the pathetic style of the Democratic so called leadership. The fight could go on at least until November 5. Plenty of time for these power hungry know-it-all leaders to sink Democratic opportunities once again. As a Registered and active Democrat for 60 years I can see it all now.

An instant repeat.

I wonder how Vance's defense of marriage (as he sees it) fits with having that adult film star, also known for the SlutWalk, speak at the convention. And there will be other areas of conflict between Vance and Republican leaders, but unfortunately, not enough to stop Trump from winning the White House.

I've spent months trying to get people in swing states to vote for Democratic for president, but due to the obviously-now-unfit Biden's refusal to step aside and the DNC's bizarre continuing to force a losing candidate on us, I'm speechless. (I'm a life long Democrat, BTW)

Still, Democrats and moderates must go to the polls in November. Don’t forget other elective offices. If people are too depressed and angry to vote, a lot of Democrats won’t get voted into Congressional and governors offices. (Remember that judges are sometimes elected, too.) Pls visit app.oath.vote - they identify the most crucial races where your donations can make a difference. We can only vote where we live, but we can donate money, and also email our friends around the country to let them know. WE CANNOT GIVE UP!

Can you clarify the app you mention that identifies candidates in crucial races?

Adam Schiff just declared his vote for "Find Another Candidate Who Can Win." That's a pretty big wheel there.

I have been married three times. The first one was an abuser/bully who thought beating a naive eighteen year old wife was fun, then he found out I would fight back and he began to get hurt too. That, of course, ended in a divorce. Next, number two husband was even worse because he beat me and also tried to destroy my self esteem. That lasted for ten years because I was in a foreign country with him and couldn't leave. A divorce as soon as we were stateside again. So I've had firsthand experience of abuse.

This pathetic man who thinks an abused woman should smile and get over it is out of his mind! I have never knuckled under to any abuse and never will! No woman, or in some cases man, should ever stand to.be abused, EVER! Will I be voting for Biden, damn right I will.

You simply must congratulate JD Vance. He actually managed to out shapeshift Trikki, Ikki, Nikki Haley. I didn’t think that was even possible. How long do you think trump will last before Elon Musk has him pushed out in favor of his best puppet forever, JD Vance? Bad choice for Donald Dick. He should definitely play less golf and spend more time watching his fat, criminal, lying back.

Oh, I give Trump a month or two when he finds out HE is second fiddle to JD

JD Vance is the pick of the billionaire donor class. Musk, Thiel, Koch brothers, Home Depot CEO, and so on are really calling the shots. They are the ones in charge of Trumps campaign. They bought off Trump a long time ago. They just recently purchased Vance.

Haley and DeSantis simply showed how there words have no meaning now or the future. A person is defined by their actions and not their words. When the words are inconsistent with their actions, their words cease to have any meaning. Trump is a great example. Trump had Haley and DeSantis paraded out there to show what happens if you cross Trump. They are no more than modern day pelts.

JD Vance is a well trained monkey. It will produce and shill for the big corporations. He doesn’t believe a word he says, it’s simply earning MAGA collateral for later on.

He is now the apprentice on Trump’s show.

Quote: They came to power because of men like JD Vance, who has signed up for service with the man he compared — not me — to the most evil person in history.

Me: Vance has been saying how he was brain washed by the media into saying negative things about Trump. But he’s come around. Hmmm. Was Vance brainwashed before or is he brainwashed now? Or maybe JD Vance holds Hitler in higher regard now than he did before and thinks both are great guys! What’s not to like with Trump? He’s great if you like liars and grifters. (I don’t.)

Trump was found liable for sexual assault, what the judge in the case wrote is commonly called “rape” — Trump crudely bragged that he can grab women by their private parts and they let him because he’s a celebrity. Ick.

Trump had only one crisis during his administration — managing the covid pandemic — and he failed. Miserably. Trump couldn’t even just get out of the way of the medical experts and let them use their training and medical expertise to guide us through it. Nope. Not him. We know Trump knew how serious it was because Woodward has Trump on tape admitting it. So Trump lied (his “go to” move) and said it would just go away, said it was like the flu. (Another lie.) Trump suggested injecting bleach or light into the body, and recommended taking horse dewormer. The man is a train wreck. Unfit for public service.

Joe Biden is old but have you noticed he’s doing the job of POTUS and getting things done. Biden is surrounded by qualified people and they’re all working to keep democracy alive and well. Biden and his administration know Putin is the bad guy and support NATO. They’re crystal

clear about it. Unlike Trump, Biden understands NATO helps keep the world a safer place. (Trump talks like NATO is a protection racket and has no idea how it works even after it was explained to him.)

Trump doesn’t (or won’t) understand that tariffs on foreign goods are like a tax paid and will raise prices for the consumer. It has been explained but Trump refuses to listen. His mind is made up. He doesn’t care if consumers pay more — his rubes believe what he says and facts don’t matter to them.

So nobody is asking you to date Joe Biden, just vote for him and keep democracy alive.

After watching the Warning for July 16 I thought of the Buffalo Springfield's lyrics to What It's Worth.

"There's something happening here.

But what it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

Telling me I got to beware."

How can 1/2 of America not see whats going down?

All of the people like Lindsey Graham, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz — damn, it is too long to list them all— are pathetic. Just pathetic embarrassments — to themselves, their families, their friends, their country. I would not shake their hands. I would find myself embarrassed to be in the same room as them.

Remember all of the things that Graham said about Trump? It was so bad and it so angered Trump that he posted on Twitter Graham’s personal cell phone number. True story.

If there is any guidance for young people: these are examples of not the best we have as a country, but the worst. Use their example as a guide how not to be.

Vance looks absolutely giddy with his new power. It will be interesting to see how Trump systematically humiliates him and puts him in his place.

Watching Monday nights R convention gave me cognitive whiplash. We’ve definitely fallen down the rabbit hole.
