Hillary and others made this moment possible. I’m sure the press will eventually create dumb gender stories but in my opinion the voting public in general has gotten past that and can now more easily imagine a woman president. Hillary running in 2008 and 2016 made it seem natural. IMHO, because of Hillary’s success, I think Harris won’t have to deal with as much noise about it. (I’m not saying there won’t be ridiculous discussions about gender, only that there will be less of it).
Trump's campaign is focused on challenging voters and intimidating them. Seeing the younger generation enthusiasm is refreshing. Harris brings a new perspective to the campaign, her high energy and smiles is in complete contrast to Trump's gloom and doom messages. Trump trashing America is a negative message but is appealing to the victimhood of his followers. Harris joy and optimism of the future is highly appealing to the younger generations!
“WE’RE NOT GOING BACK! WE’RE NOT GOING BACK!”
I already ordered a shirt with that EPIC quote. I got it from here 👇
YES!!! She sure did win the popular vote. I, like many others woke up the next day in utter shock. Walked around for days in a fog. However, now that all this time has passed, I truly believe she was saved in the end. The maggots would have tortured, sued, subpoenaed her till her last breath. Yes, she could take it, but it would have been an awful existence for her, I fear. She did put a million cracks in the glass ceiling and would have been a great president. We will always be grateful and proud for all she did for our country.
SPOT ON. Biden passed the torch, because his mind is fine, and still thinking straight, and because he has faith and trust in the exceptional ability of Kamala Harris to excel in the Oval! And it's time for a woman to be President, as women comprise 51% of our population. Scientifically, (something GOPs don't believe in) genitals have nothing to do with brains, judgment or the ability to lead. Angela Merkel is a great example of a woman who received a Nobel Prize for shoring up European Democracy.
The smartest, most insightful people I have worked with in corporate business for over 30 years are almost all women. There are unique qualities to many of these women that men simply can't match.
Docket #17-857, docketed at 11 am on Dec. 15th, asking the US Supreme Court;
• to appoint Mueller as Special Master to continue his investigation under the protected aegis of the Court;
• to vacate the unlawful Electors vote for the GOP Pres-elect 11/8/16 ticket,
• remove Trump & Pence and declare HRC the President to serve out the balance of the existing term,
• or have qualified Electors revote adhering to the Constitution and the Framers’ intent - as clearly expressed in the Federalist Papers, particularly in Hamilton’s No. 68:
This is what I led into the Supreme Court - helped draft, got a DC Court printer for 44 copies and on the docket - plus found the people to sue Trump... with the help of my group of 10 men and women. So I know how great HRC is: www.citizensfortruth.net
While I understand the reference to "not going back" to the past former presidency, it is just the same, a negative meme. I strongly recommend the Harris team change this to "we're moving ahead" or "we're moving forward, while they're going backwards". I also wish Harris would rephase the MAGA message and say that we don't need to make America great again because we never lost it. America is Great and has been all along! This is a remarkable and great nation, so long as we take the high road, and not stop to the low road of negativity, deception, lies, denial, and other underhanded deceptions.
From an interested CanadIan: FINALLY! GO Kamala. The prospect of having Trump across my back fence again is now like dust in the wind. Welcome back, Yankees!
A flailing failure. Such a sight to behold. Now bury the image until November 6, 2024.
I recall a deafening silence from Trump supporters who posted his 2020 victory too far in advance. Then it was a pathetic series of excuses that is still ongoing(stolen election) to ensure Trump is not a LOSER but he is.
Last evening in Charlotte, the Orange Idiot stated that America is a stupid country and if VP Harris was elected there would be no cows and eventually no people! He is an old senile man who should be in a prison cell right now!
If he loses and she fires Merrick Garland and fast tracks his trials he will be in prison for his many crimes and the nation can begin to heal from all the damage he has wrought.
Wondering who would have taken his place that could have been more difficult to beat then tRUMP, so yeah just the thought of Kamala scaring the shit out to him, he might have to take that Kotex on his ear off to clean himself up is worth him surviving that ear piercing.
Among the many perverse but satisfying images that have warmed my heart this week: Convict Trump waking up in a cold sweat from a dream about Leticia James, Fani Willis, Jasmine Crockett, Kamala Harris, and Tanya Chutkan striding boldly toward him, followed and cheered on by millions of Americans -- all races, all genders, all ages.
Like I said, I know it's unkind but I cannot deny the pleasure I take from this image.
At the moment all I can think of is rewriting some of the words to Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Miz. (The Original London Cast is my fave.) Have a go at it, Alex!
The image I had when they had their convention was that of a bunch of people with “Pinocchio nose “fighting to be able to move .they couldn’t their noses kept getting caught.
You are thinking logically but my confidence in MAGA's ability to think logically and humanely has evaporated. Not long ago they killed one of their own at a Dear Leader hate rally. How does that make sense? They've been known to show up at Pride events despite claiming to loathe the queer community, just to make noise and harass people. On the day they stormed the U.S. capital, not an iota of substantiated complaint had been validated by any court in the country they claim to love.
So...the possibility of their hatred of democracy, women, people of color, and Democrats overriding their common sense and inspiring them to act out again doesn't seem that remote to me.
Never underestimate the MAGA and the Trump team. Never forget January 6, 2021. If DT loses this time, I am sure they have something up their sleeves to get a reversal. The good thing is Kamala is the VP this time. She will control the event.
That's his plan. That's why he's not worried about the lack of campaign offices or GOTV funds. He doesn't care if he loses. He and his acolytes are always sussing out the best way to do it.
Too often, with MAGA, the "best way" means whatever way allows them to vent rage and performative indignation: insults and name-calling, smashing windows and defecating on the Capitol floors, trolling social media sites, hate rallies and conspiracy-mongering. It's heartbreaking to think about living that way.
I was watching a well-done documentary on the Columbia shuttle disaster from 2003 recently, and learned something about Senator Mark Kelly that I didn’t know and made me respect him and which also made me solidly behind him in any endeavor he would choose to follow because of what it showed about his character and respect for others.
Within minutes of his learning of the breakup of the Columbia on reentry over east Texas and the loss of his co-astronaut team, and hearing from a source on the ground that their bodies were located, he pulled strings to get a helicopter and pilot to fly him to the location where the bodies were still untouched by local law enforcement and had them all protected and covered and then organized the local coroner/mortuaries to pick them up and taken to a secure place. Bless his heart forever for this awful task.
This incredible act of respect and love and dedication cemented, for me, that this is a man who is a true leader and so incredibly special and good and loyal and who I could support wholeheartedly in any political office he was interested in. I did vote for him as senator from my state because I liked his moderation and his strength in fighting against the huge and unconscionable influence of the maga movement and hoped he would one day run for higher office. I saw this documentary last spring as this election was heating up and wondered if he would or could ever get as far as the White House and decided probably not. This is an exciting opportunity in my mind.
Contrast his character with that of the horrible example of the convicted felon we now have in our faces 24/7. Mark is and always will be my choice for higher office.
Breaking news, sort of: the FBI is reporting that the injury to the orange turds ear could have been from shrapnel, not a bullet. Ballistic forensic experts (not sure if it was the FBI or an independent testing) replicated a high powered rifle's passing by a dummy ear (pun intended). Their conclusion is that ballistics traveling at mach3 would have has taken taking the ear off, and probablyl the skin on his left side of his face. Lying Trump is such a piece of excrement... .
From AP: Former Secret Service agent Rich Staropoli said the AR-15-style rifle used by the gunman fires a 5.56 millimeter bullet at such high speeds - over 2,000 miles an hour - that just the air pressure as it passes can cause extensive damage.
"The shock wave alone could have ripped his ear off," Staropoli said of Trump.
Correct. Now the question is did it touch Trump or not? My guess it did not. Was the miss just an error by the shooter or did he miss it intentionally? We will never know the answer because the shooter is dead.
From what someone else said in comments, if the bullet had grazed his ear, it would have taken the whole thing off, plus skin on his face. I'm not familiar with bullet damage, but that makes sense to me.
The ballistics slomo of the gel “ear” exploding said more than enough. And no one has suggested the lack of hearing loss, even from a miss? I must have dozed off.
I had heard something before about it being shrapnel. Thank you for the confirmation. That makes his gauze pad (or as someone else described it, his Kotex) even more ridiculous.
Snopes has debunked the glass shard theory and has a number of photos where the entry and exit wounds from the bullet through the top of CF's ear can be clearly seen. The pinna of the ear is cartilage and minimally vascularized, so bleeding wouldn't be high (nowhere near the level of a scalp wound). Snopes also has timeline photos showing both teleprompters intact and undamaged.
IMO it was a perfect storm of sheer dumb luck (CF turns his head at the right (or wrong) instant); Crooks (the shooter) rushing to take his shots at a 45° angle to the stage; the 5.56 mm NATO ammo being light enough to be pushed off course by even a puff of wind; and Crooks being a known poor shot using a rifle not intended for precision targeting.
That's also what I had heard. Maybe now he'll be terrified of teleprompters and just show everyone how crazy he is. Nah, he'll stick with the bullet because it's a better story line.
Being from Scranton, I would have followed and supported President Biden till the end, whatever the outcome . Now that he has passed the torch to VP Harris I put my full support behind her !
Like all sane Americans I'm relieved and encouraged that Kamala Harris is the Democratic candidate for President.
But it's important to remember and honor President Biden's decision to withdraw from the race. This was a selfless act of service to this country and humanity. He just may have saved our democracy.
More folks are waking up to the fact that the MAGA emperor has no clothes (and never has.) Let’s continue to prosecute him, obliterate him at the polls, while also ridiculing him. Hound him all the way to prison. He’s no bogeyman; he’s a clown.
Absolutely. And let's not be afraid to speak what we're thinking or feeling. I'm sick of everyone tiptoeing around him as though he deserved special treatment. He deserves to be in jail!
Hans Christian Andersen's paraple, "The emperor has no clothes" is an amazing appropriate comparison. Please Google it and read the entire parable, it's an amazingly interesting read. The reason it's a good comparison is because everybody in the kingdom was afraid of the king so when he walked around naked everyone was afraid to speak up. The tailor was a big fraud and convinced the king that he had tailored a beautiful suit for the king. So the King was ss nutty as a fruit cake. Much like the orange turn the orange turd.
Are you in the islands Jeanine? Native Hawaiian here. 🤙🏽 Originally from Kona but I’m on west coast CA and looking to move full time to Moloka’i when we retire.. 💙 Aloha my friend!!
Great reporting, Mary! We depend on YOU! I didn’t know about the increased voter registrations - especially the younger voters! YES! I’m excited to support KAMALA for President. Wow!
Sadly for me, the coconut reference only reminds me of the movie “Monty Python & the Holy Grail” where a servant of King Arthur, is banging coconuts together to imitate a horse- galloping because horses were too expensive.
As much as I love President Biden, I was tired and anxious about the bickering among Democrats. I feel so much hope for VP Harris to be our next president.
Good Day All. Mary, if you should happen to communicate with our Vice President, Soon to be President, PLEASE, tell her the "Mashed Potatoes" story & advise her to USE IT at an appropriate time and place, as Necessary... A Very Powerful Comment to Use On Donald.
Word on the street is the Swifties are murmuring about Armageddon in response to Vance’s single cat ladies comment! I hope the R’s are about to learn that you piss off a bunch of women at your own peril. I’m old enough to remember when Roe became law of the land and I was finally able to get a credit card without a father or husband’s signature. Project 2025 scares the beejesus out of me as does just about every R out there since they ditch principles and oaths to the Constitution to get ahead / stay employed.
As an ad for the new Matlock program says (courtesy of Kathy Bates)…. women over the age of about 50 become damn near invisible but it works for us because they never see us coming. Ladies, let’s roll and get this done!!!!!

I agree! And I have ordered, from Etsy, the " , La" shirt to wear proudly! And let us not forget that Hillary DID win the popular vote!

Yes! And really Hill should have contested it! But water over the dam now!
YES!!! She sure did win the popular vote. I, like many others woke up the next day in utter shock. Walked around for days in a fog.

Nope. It is the decide Retards thst believe women should be in the kitchen, pregnant, & barefoot! We ain’t going back.

NOT going back to the days of white male supremacy. NOT going back to the days of back alley abortions. NOT going back to the sexist racist 50s. . .
I agree. Let her know that‼️
Yes, my wife has gotten her "I'm With Her" t-shirt out of the drawer. There are a lot of women itching for payback for 2016.
Remember when you buy from her website the money goes to the campaign. Lots of cool things.

I sure hope you're right.
Love it, and thank you for being you, God!
Amen!🙏
Maybe God did spare Trump from the assassination attempt so he could not only lose to a woman but a woman of color 😁
If he loses and she fires Merrick Garland and fast tracks his trials he will be in prison for his many crimes and the nation can begin to heal from all the damage he has wrought.
When. When he loses. 😊
I would definitely like to see a new attorney general. Polite is not what we have needed for the last 4 years.
THAT is as reasonable a reason as any I've ever heared. A god like that is a god I could follow.

If it was indeed a miss, it was more effective than had it not.

Yes from despair to elation for me too. Whats the bet when he loses this time he will blame Vance.
...or foments another insurrection?
Yeah, except HE’s not the president this time. The Meal Team Six people won’t even get close.
You are thinking logically but my confidence in MAGA's ability to think logically and humanely has evaporated. Not long ago they killed one of their own at a Dear Leader hate rally. How does that make sense? They've been known to show up at Pride events despite claiming to loathe the queer community, just to make noise and harass people. On the day they stormed the U.S. capital, not an iota of substantiated complaint had been validated by any court in the country they claim to love.
So...the possibility of their hatred of democracy, women, people of color, and Democrats overriding their common sense and inspiring them to act out again doesn't seem that remote to me.
Never underestimate the MAGA and the Trump team. Never forget January 6, 2021. If DT loses this time, I am sure they have something up their sleeves to get a reversal. The good thing is Kamala is the VP this time. She will control the event.
May it be so.
I don't think they have common sense--they're cultists, and cultists do what their leader directs them to do.
That's his plan. That's why he's not worried about the lack of campaign offices or GOTV funds. He doesn't care if he loses. He and his acolytes are always sussing out the best way to do it.
Too often, with MAGA, the "best way" means whatever way allows them to vent rage and performative indignation: insults and name-calling, smashing windows and defecating on the Capitol floors, trolling social media sites, hate rallies and conspiracy-mongering. It's heartbreaking to think about living that way.

Thank you so much for posting this about Mark Kelly. As he supported his wife Gabby
Yeah he would make a good VP!
Thanks for talking about this! I really like him and this makes me appreciate him even more. 😀
He’ll be the most strategic pick (and an excellent one all around).
Breaking news, sort of: the FBI is reporting that the injury to the orange turds ear could have been from shrapnel, not a bullet.

What it didn’t take his ear off and then it grew back quickly and amazingly and doctors have never seen anything like it? 😂
HA!
🤣🤣
🤔🤣🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
From AP: Former Secret Service agent Rich Staropoli said the AR-15-style rifle used by the gunman fires a 5.56 millimeter bullet at such high speeds - over 2,000 miles an hour - that just the air pressure as it passes can cause extensive damage.
"The shock wave alone could have ripped his ear off," Staropoli said of Trump.
The mystery deepens. What happened to the bullet if it was not even close to DT?
I want the full story. Can the FBI solve the mystery?
I think it was the bullet that killed someone behind him.
Correct. Now the question is did it touch Trump or not? My guess it did not. Was the miss just an error by the shooter or did he miss it intentionally? We will never know the answer because the shooter is dead.
From what someone else said in comments, if the bullet had grazed his ear, it would have taken the whole thing off, plus skin on his face. I'm not familiar with bullet damage, but that makes sense to me.
They did. Just not saying - not part of their job. I like the info. BUT just gave him more drama. UGH
That 5.56 mm NATO ammo is very light and subject to even weak wind push per Brandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL. Crooks (the shooter) was also a known poor marksman, and was making his shot hurriedly from a 45° angle. More details on the rifle, ammo, and firing conditions: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2024/07/16/trump-shooting-assassination-gun-details/74425138007/
The ballistics slomo of the gel “ear” exploding said more than enough. And no one has suggested the lack of hearing loss, even from a miss? I must have dozed off.
We all know it's all another one of his bs lies!!!!
I had heard something before about it being shrapnel. Thank you for the confirmation. That makes his gauze pad (or as someone else described it, his Kotex) even more ridiculous.
I read that there's speculation that it could have been glass from the teleprompter, which apparently was hit by one of the rounds and shattered.
Snopes has debunked the glass shard theory and has a number of photos where the entry and exit wounds from the bullet through the top of CF's ear can be clearly seen. The pinna of the ear is cartilage and minimally vascularized, so bleeding wouldn't be high (nowhere near the level of a scalp wound). Snopes also has timeline photos showing both teleprompters intact and undamaged.

Hans Christian Andersen's paraple, "The emperor has no clothes" is an amazing appropriate comparison. Please Google it and read the entire parable, it's an amazingly interesting read. The reason it's a good comparison is because everybody in the kingdom was afraid of the king so when he walked around naked everyone was afraid to speak up.

A-men!
Good Day All. Mary, if you should happen to communicate with our Vice President, Soon to be President, PLEASE, tell her the "Mashed Potatoes" story & advise her to USE IT at an appropriate time and place, as Necessary... A Very Powerful Comment to Use On Donald.
Peace & Best Regards
I have hope!
Word on the street is the Swifties are murmuring about Armageddon in response to Vance’s single cat ladies comment! I hope the R’s are about to learn that you piss off a bunch of women at your own peril. I’m old enough to remember when Roe became law of the land and I was finally able to get a credit card without a father or husband’s signature. Project 2025 scares the beejesus out of me as does just about every R out there since they ditch principles and oaths to the Constitution to get ahead / stay employed.
As an ad for the new Matlock program says (courtesy of Kathy Bates)…. women over the age of about 50 become damn near invisible but it works for us because they never see us coming. Ladies, let’s roll and get this done!!!!!
Remember the Gray Panthers in the 1960s? That was a thing then. It could be so again. Never mess with a Lady's Cat 🐈😺💕

For Donald, there’s nothing better than being talked about, regardless of what is being said, and nothing worse than not being talked about.

Well spotted. I had Wilde in mind when writing my comment 😹
