hawkeyedjb said...: Dick Cheney - literally Hitler when he served as vice president under BusHitler2 - has endorsed Kamala. How do the Harris folks feel about having Hitler on the team? Fit right in?; 9/7/24, 10:13 PM
They’re eating the cats 🐈 —They’re eating the dogs 🐕 said...: Trump should tell the farmers of Wisconsin how retaliation to his tariffs will affect their crop prices.

Then he can tell residents of northwest Wisconsin how his environmental policies will affect their tourism industry.

After that he can swing through Tomah and tell the military families how his budget slashing might affect them… they’re suckers and losers after all.

Anyone still believing his nonsense deserves what they get.; 9/7/24, 10:51 PM
Original Mike said...: Harris should explain to the 1.2 million US born workers who lost their jobs in the last year to illegal immigrants crossing our open borders how they're taking one for Team Democrat. And the next year will see more of the same.

"An Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank analysis of Census Bureau survey data found that the majority of these immigrants are illegal immigrants who have recently arrived in the country. The Atlanta FRED goes on to say that illegal immigrants are indeed weakening the labor market and that it will continue to trend down for Americans as the large inflows of immigrants persist."

And while she's at it she can explain how trading 500,000 full-time jobs for 500,000 part-time jobs is good for the workers of this country.

Snark aside, these data indicate terrible conditions for working Americans.; 9/7/24, 11:11 PM
Inga said...: “MOSINEE, Wis. — Former President Donald Trump, who makes frequent false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen through rampant fraud, warned Saturday that he would attempt to imprison anyone who engages in "unscrupulous behavior" during the 2024 race results.

“The 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again," he wrote.

He continued, “Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”

This from the LIAR who is responsible for all those poor suckers sitting in jail now because they believed the “Stop the Steal” lie. He’ll end up in jail sooner than anyone he threatens.; 9/7/24, 11:29 PM
gadfly said...: Immigrants, mostly carrying green cards represent virtually the only source of labor available to do agricultural work such as harvesting crops in the field. American farmers have always relied on them to do hard work. Willing US born field workers are impossible to find, except for machine drivers.; 9/8/24, 12:07 AM
Original Mike said...: We're not talking about farm workers:

"While the August jobs report showed the country gained over 168,000 employed workers in the last month, it’s not what it seems. Most of these jobs were part-time, with 527,000 gained in August, while Americans lost almost 500,000 full-time positions.

To dive in even further, over 1.2 million native-born Americans lost full-time positions in the past year. At the same time, foreign-born workers, who we now know are predominantly illegal immigrants, gained 1.2 million jobs during that same time."; 9/8/24, 12:20 AM

Darkisland said...: Kamala made a stop at a random spice shop and spoke to a totally normal store owner.

Unless you go look at the website https://www.penzeys.com/shop/about-republicans/

The About Republicans link is in the header of the home page. It is quite the screed, several screens long. Sample paragraph:

I actually like and respect most of you guys. Sure, there are a growing number that are there for the racism, but I still believe the majority of you have good hearts that want to help and do the right thing. I know you to be trustworthy, and honest, and funny, and caring, and good souls. The problem isn’t what you are, the problem is what you are now voting to support. You guys have been turned around.

Remember when your distrust of big city types, and your deep rooted beliefs in paying your debts, respecting your marriage, raising kids willing to serve, honoring your word, and going to church every week had you voting for Donald Trump over Joe Biden all because Biden’s son had a computer? Or how you couldn’t vote for Hillary because she was over-prepared and used emails? I know that to you your actions seem rational and in keeping with your values, but when it comes to voting you are now consistently voting in people who are the exact opposite of you and the values you hold dear.

What does any of this mean? Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I’m sad to say you might be happier elsewhere.

(Emphasis added)

Laura Loomer in X said that they have signs in the shop discouraging Republicans and Trumpistas from shopping there. I guess in case they missed it on the website.

Darkisland said...: Hawkey, Are you sure about that? I thought it was Chimpy McBushitler who was "literally Hitler". I thought Cheney was Darth Vader.

Fun fact, Cheney was (is?) a union member. IBEW, if I recall correctly. So was Donald Trump, so was Reagan. Reagan was even a union national president.

Have any democrat presidents or VPs ever been union members?

Tampon Timmy is probably a teachers union member but he is not VP yet.

Darkisland said...: Thinking of the colorado case of the bakery who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

If I went to Penzey's with my MAGA hat and T shirt, would they refuse to serve me? Would I be able to sue them into oblivion if they did?

John Henry; 9/8/24, 2:16 AM
Darkisland said...: It is not new either. Here is an article from Forbes in 2022 and apparently the About Republicans page was up then as Forbes quotes from it.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonemorris/2022/11/30/the-heat-is-on-why-penzeys-spices-is-this-weeks-inclusion-hero/

Forbes approves of Penzey's Spices, BTW.

And you want to be our latex salesman, Kamala?

Oops, I mean VP.

wendybar said...: URGENT BREAKING NEWS FROM WASHINGTON POST EDITORIAL WRITER AND COLUMNIST...
Kamala shops at Spice shop where the owner doesn't want to serve Republicans and is too expensive for normal Americans to shop at. Again...This is late breaking news, that trumps anything that Kamala hasn't said to any body because she refused to be interviewed but has plenty of time for photo ops.

How come you don't want to address this? It looks like you're running away from these questions. Aren't you proud of the Democratic platform?; 9/8/24, 7:30 AM

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: The owner of Penzy's lost his mind when Hillary lost to Trump in 2016. He never recovered.
He actually told me to take my business elsewhere via e-mail.
I did.; 9/8/24, 8:15 AM
Aggie said...: So now you've covered mis-attributing something Trump never said, but was accused of saying by his detractors, and are now moving on to mis-attribute some future events that Trump has never proposed, but you are proposing. Why not discuss rent controls, since Trump isn't paying any to live in your head?; 9/8/24, 8:18 AM
Aggie said...: I wonder if this is truly a desperation tactic, getting a sworn lifelong enemy like Cheney to trumpet his love of your candidate, just to see if it can persuade enough low-information voters to cross the line, too. Dick Cheney - shaking my head. And like every single one of the others, he has nothing to say about why except the Old Booga-Booga.; 9/8/24, 8:21 AM
They’re eating the cats 🐈 —They’re eating the dogs 🐕 said...: This is not a normal communication from a former president and the leader of a major political party. It uses made-up legal jargon to repeat lies about election cheating disproved by courts and threatens political opponents with government persecution should Trump lose again.

"CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country." ~ Donald J Trump @realDonaldTrump 9/7/24; 9/8/24, 8:37 AM

Dr Weevil said...: gadfly repeats what 'everybody knows'. Too bad it's not true, like so many other things 'everybody knows'. Mickey Kaus, the only other cruelly neutral middle-of-the-roader I can think of that compares with our hostess, has researched the actual numbers. Here's his July 22nd tweet (link):

"NYT's @jonathanweisman says 'Most immigrant labor goes to work Americans don’t want, like in farm labor and meatpacking.' That is clearly false. (Only 2% of immigrants and 4% of ILLEGAL immigrants go into farm work, for example. There seem to be only 210,000 or so meatpacking jobs, many filled by Americans.)"; 9/8/24, 11:44 AM
