It really is, this is hilarious. Vance shat the bed at his first rally, Kamala enthusiasm is surging and the Republicans are slowly realizing how fucked they are now that they spent the last year arguing Old men dont belong in politics and now because of Bidens patriotism they are the only ones with an old candidate and his brains are turning to mush before our very eyes. The medias complicity in trying to get Trump elected will be even more obvious now and the youth are energized to go to the polls again if only to show support for Biden listening to them and stepping aside. All the right have now is racist and sexist attacks and tgats not going to win any more votes they didnt already have. What a day, indeed.

And now we must act as if we don’t have the election in our pockets working harder than ever to get VP Harris elected. We need to win with more votes than we did in 2020 so that even the corrupt SC cannot overturn the results. 104 days and counting to get this done. Let’s all get to work: phone bank, canvass, write letters and postcards to voters.

I was desolate. Just physically ill with all the negative comments, and I felt, very disloyal, pounding of President Biden from leaders of the Democratic Party. Then the “sky” opened with a blast of positive sunshine. Our brave And loyal President ceded to VP Kamala Harris. An act of support for our country, bravery, and NOT a tottering old man. Wise and faithful to our country. I love President Biden and am ecstatic for VP Kamala Harris. I see a bright future at last, Lance Holter.

Trump's old and unlike Joe, who exercises and takes care of his body, Trump has an excellent chance of dropping dead sometime in the next couple of years. Imagine JD Vance as our next POTUS. Holy shit. Trump chose him as a figurehead and a vote-getter, and as someone he could easily control. Bad idea for so many reasons LOL.

He shifted after more than dectupling his wealth in a very short time (during the pandemic). Too much money seems to almost always make people even more greedy for money, shifting them to the right. They do great under Democratic administrations, but the lure of lower taxes seems to always trump a better economy & everybody doing well. They actually do no better in a Republican administration, but they seem to want to be the only ones thriving, & let everyone else suffer.

samani's avatar

Ok, I admittedly bought a Tesla Y. It’s being repaired by a garage that has Tesla’s seal of approval. Although I now dislike much of what Elon professes and does, this car he didn’t design is fabulous. I bought it in ‘21 after my former hybrid car was totaled because I wanted to once again try to help our ecosystem as I did more than a decade ago putting panels on my roof.

I had to rent a car for a few days. Got a ‘24 model 3. Heavenly.

All the gas car companies will try to put down electric cars. Don’t believe them. Just like you have most likely bought a computer and perhaps cell phone, you may even be driving an electric car before you know it.

I have owned a S, 3 & Y (currently). Never had any issues. Love everything about them. I will never go back. But as soon as another car company comes up with something comparable I will switch simply because of Musk.

In case anyone didn't hear yet, as of late this afternoon, Harris is leading Trump 44-42%!

I believe that's within the margin of error, but it's a step in the right direction!

I'll take anything I can get. The margin for error range was what they pummeled Biden with, and it was four points lower.

When Biden had a brain freeze in the debate Trump and his handlers thought they had the election won in a walk. But with Joe passing the torch, the MAGAs now have the candidate who is old, incoherent and incapable...with a disastrous record to boot. They are f'ked and they know it.

“Incoherent and incapable.” Leave us not neglect “incontinent”. Mellifluous.

Hoist on their own petard. Ain’t it glorious?

The sad part (for them) is that if they (and the press that always seems to protect Trump) hadn’t made such a big freaking deal out of Joe’s stumbles in the debate, there’s a good chance Biden would still be in the race.

Suing, hmm. Biden should SUE Trump for defamation, liable, and more. Trump ruined Biden reputation regarding the election outcome and several other comments.Biden must do this in public to show strength and how bad Trumps behavior is. WOMEN did it with good outcome. BIDEN NEEDS to do that. If Trump or other person does it to Harris, she sould file a lawsuit. Let MAGA watch that case in public. Stand up to these bullies.

That would be wonderful. For better or worse, though, Biden won’t do it. He already said he would not take advantage of that ruling because of how wrong it was.

True, but to save Democracy those powers should be used. After a fix then remove the bad rules.

What if Trump wins, which is not qualified to due to the Oath he cannot take given he wants destroy the constitution, if the court does not honor the Oath, then yes Biden needs to it.

The alternative ends democracy and maybe the world...nuclear destruction is possible.

Biden should use it if necessary.

It’s almost impossible to defame a public figure in a legal sense, though. The law basically says if someone is out there in the public eye, the public can say pretty much anything they want to about them with absolute impunity and no fear of prosecution. Or at least no fear of conviction.

What was the purpose of allowing people to defame people in the public eye? People in go ernment should be restricted to the truth. Is it illegal for congressional people to lie about the election? If so why are they not in jail.

Good point, but there should then be a law that says no one in office or running for office can lie about an election. Maybe we need to tightened the law on defamation in general. It should apply to public figures in office or running. Why allow such consequential lies?

Donald has been terrified his entire life. Whence emerges the toxic human we see today.

Is Donald capable of laughing or offering a genuine smile? I have never seen him do the former and he smirks instead of smiling, sometimes looking like a goblin grinning at some cruel jape.

Ally S on Substack said Trump is a malignant narcissist, which is a blend of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and antisocial traits: grandiosity, lack of empathy, manipulative & exploitative, sense of entitlement, aggression & hostility, prone to anger & vindictiveness, paranoia, lack of accountability, superficial charm, difficulty with relationships.

Now does sound like Trump?

Widdle Donnie’s attempts to smile always end up looking like a nasty smirk. Not a decent look, looks villain like for a reason, a dead give away, exposes himself.
