Duke of Bullshit: "The" Donald

[Dark Lightning]

People are getting motivated.

Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle, after Biden dropped his bid for a 2nd term.

A recent discovery about Kamila That makes me confident in her capacity to deal with whatever the situation may bring.. Some of the GOP honchoes have claimed that she was a DEI hire. I think that may have pissed her off.

 This afternoon MSNBC displayed a clip where she is speaking to a group of people, probably young ones and likely black, brown, gay, or handicapped ones. Maybe she was speaking to all of us too. She was speaking in soft, persuasive, motherly terms about how some of the problems in life can be damaging to our psyches, even to our futures. She urged the listener to hold their chins up and their shoulders back when they entered a room. Then she changed the tone of her voice to one of dramatic emphasis. She said; if you come to the door and it is closed, kick the fucking door down. Yep, she used that word. I like her even better now. 

A while back I learned that Gretchen Whitmer is also capable of cursing like a drunken longshoreman. Both those ladies usually come across as goody two shoes. Reminds me of the old saw that says; Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

As for the chump-
He's had his ear tipped. All that's left is to neuter and relocate him.

Hey, he took a bullet for democracy, show some respect.
If it wasn't for him you'd be suffering in a Scandinavian style leftist dystopia.

Watching this from across the pond it appears that Harris is quite literally a game change. People have started excusing themselves for voting for Biden. Now they are embracing Harris because she is the best candidate. Trump is behind in virtually all the polls now. Can I breath easy yet?

The whole criticism of DEI hires is, if you believe what the right themselves say about it, is that supposedly people are hired into positions without merit, just because they are black, female, LGBT, etc. (that's BS, but lets roll with it for a sec). Kamala Harris is experienced, she has not only been Vice President but had a history of politics and more long before being picked for Vice President. Trump, meanwhile, had no experience being a politician before becoming President. Thus... I'd say between the two, if you care about merit, Harris beats Trump any day with her hands tied behind her back.

They're really showing their true colors by showing us that the DEI complaints aren't at all about concerns of whether a hire has merit or not, instead they're just "How dare a black person have high level positions". Disgusting.

Harris hasn't promised, and likely doesn't plan, to tear down our institutions and go after all her perceived enemies using the DoJ, like Don the Con has been promising to do.

This really is getting exciting as opposed to horrrifying

[billy rubin]

i was ready to give up.

but it may actually be okay.

too early to tell still

[Tom62]

Don't like Kamala Harris. She was terrible as prosecutor and didn't achieve anything as vice president. Nobody ever voted for her to become the presidential nominee. That the media now presents her as a competent person smells horrible fake to me.

[Icarus]

As we become more familiar with her capacity and intellect, it appears that she is far more than merely competent. At this time her candidacy has literally steam rolled Trumps.

It is uncertain whether we collectively believe that she is a prime candidate for president or that her entry into the fray has finally allowed us to exhale.

[billy rubin]

i want to see her debate donald.

he will try to to set up a new debate forum with things set up to benefit him.

Applies to which candidate?

[Asmodean]

If it wasn't for him you'd be suffering in a Scandinavian style leftist dystopia.

It would be quite terrible though, in a nation as large and diverse as the United States. Our leftist dystiopias don't scale well - or they do, by adding more leftism and a LOT more dystopia.

On a more serious note though, I think Harris running in stead of Biden is a good thing. I disapprove of [what I know of] her position on the Israeli-Hamas war, as I'm of precisely the opinion trump gave in the debate (That being; Israel must finish what they started) and it's pretty much the inverse with the Russian-Ukrainian war, but beyond that... Harris is probably not as good for my financial portfolio as Trump, but possibly somewhat better for international stability.

...Yeah, at this point, I wouldn't mind if either of them won the election. Not a bad place to be.

[Tom62]

Not a fan of Kamala at all. Four weeks ago she was declared a liability; now she is redefined as the savior of democracy. I believe that when she is done there won't be much of a democracy left.
