Writes Michelle Cottle in "One by One, the Reasons to Stick With Biden Are Failing" (NYT).
I've been looking for Trump-haters to begin to show respect for their fellow citizens who support Trump, and when I saw "around half the country does not feel this way," I thought I was about to see it, but then I ran headlong into "your shellshocked papaw after a few snorts of schnapps."
Is that how we talk? Ironic that someone who purports to be appalled at the rough-spoken Trump came out with "your shellshocked papaw after a few snorts of schnapps." I guess it's funny/clever because you're mocking an old man using old-time-y words like "papaw," "snorts," "schnapps," and the endlessly hilarious "shellshocked"...
Anyway, as for the reasons to stick with Biden... what's plain is that a key Democratic Party issue has been something about democracy, and Biden won a huge victory in the primaries. You're going to overthrow the results of that duly conducted democratic process and proceed to keep crying out about Trump's supposed disregard for democracy? Another irony.
But it's too late not to pitch the old man overboard. They've let it show that they've been lying miserably for years about this presidency. And yet there is no way to begin to tell the truth. Old lies are better lies... usually. I would think.

What?
They deserve the shame and ridicule of the rest of us for the rest of their lives. We are done being lied to, and told that we are the RACIST Nazi's out to get these liars. Publicly shun them. They don't deserve a second of our time.
I don't think the NYT could survive the Bidens maintaining their grip on power. It would be the kind of humiliation that ends all relevance to your party.
But they are all in, and they are clearly willing to indulge in heresy before giving up. Hold onto yer butts.
all a bunch of malarkey
to quote a famous dementia sufferer
Throttle Cottle!
Bottled Cottle is a bitch’s brew…
Maybe they have printed themselves into a corner, with ink. The physical evidence has become too stark to ignore, even when exhorted to go on ignoring it. But: What happened to the tacit agreement to refrain from showing Joe's stuttering problem, like in 2020? We didn't see many photos of Joe's 'rallies' from then, the ones with a big screen teleprompter featuring 10" high lettering, and COVID white circles on the floor, and 'small' crowds. How come, all of a sudden, we're being treated to the evidence, like yesterday's speech? The debate didn't open a floodgate; A decision was made, after the debate, to open a floodgate. The fight is on.
The drum is just now warming up for Michelle.
"Polls" are coming out.
Prepare.
Again they have to keep the window of exposure for Michelle short.
She is a dumb mean person with no accomplishments and the more people see of her the worse she looks. Her virulent hatred for the average American will eventually slip out. She has worse retail political skills than Hillary.
But she will unite Democrats with a poll or 2 showing she beats Trump.
Do you think Michelle cares enough about the country to try to save it?
The regretful part of this is that the party line is going to be that Biden was a great President who was prevented from running again to continue saving the country due to health issues over which he had no control.
I still don't know why Trump is a terrible man. It's an article of faith on the left, but if you look at his presidency, he didn't do anything bad for the USA and had to fight off Hillary's (and the MSM's, democrat's, and deep state's) attempt to overthrow him.
He was hounded with the Russia Collusion for years.
He was impeached for trying to look into Biden corruption that is now apparent (unless you read the NYT and Washing Post).
He was backstabbed by the COVID "experts" who totally shut down the country to ruin his economic successes.
Despite all this -
He brought the first progress in the Korean war since the Armistice in 1954. And probably could have made more progress if he hadn't been weakened by the Hillary attack.
He found a framework for a more peaceful mid-east.
We had more energy independence and lower energy costs than now.
We had the lowest African American unemployment in years.
"...Old lies are better lies... usually..."
They are? Like: 'My son died a military hero in Iraq'? Or, 'My wife was killed by a drunk driver?' How are they better? Or, are they better, because they're easier for the media to cover, being the lies they're already familiar with? That's the issue, I guess: The problem isn't that Joe Biden has made serial lying a feature of his political career, lies that have been easily disproven (and often have been); the problem is the media's imperfect coverage and its policy of relentless double standards. They've reached the end of their credibility by telling the public that Joe's at the top of his form for the past 4 years.
"Yes, Trump is a terrible person and was a terrible president. I, like many of you, believe he is unfit to hold any office.
Always asserted, never supported. In logic we call this the initial premise for their position. They take it as axiomatic and perpetuate it over and over.
Thus every article and speech about Trump begins with the axiom that was never established, just asserted.
It's infuriating that the Democrats equate American voters to Magic Slates who, on their say-so, will suddenly unsee and unrecall.
She has a well paying lifetime job now as beloved former First Lady. She can vacation anywhere she wants for free on anyone’s yacht she wants. Her kids future is secured. Why give that up for a crappy job like POTUS?

I just don't get this crazy Trump hatred. All the terrible things the democrats have done - and it's a very long list - they justify as acceptable because they hate Trump. Throw character, integrity and principles out the window as these qualities don't matter because of your Trump hatred. They seem to hate Trump and his supporters as viscously as Hamas hates Jews.
Trump is just fine with me. Has a sense of humor that is completely lacking on the democrat side. I like his policies way better than the democrat ones. Way better. And you don't have to throw things like principles, character and integrity out the window to support him.
“I still don't know why Trump is a terrible man.”
This is one of the great mysteries of our time Rick.
Don’t expect a clear answer from our Lefty friends here. You’ll get something like “he has the morals of an alley cat”. For just (maybe) banging a porn star. I mean, who hasn’t done that.
I do not understand the clearly irrational dislike of Trump- and I certainly dispute the statement that he was a terrible president. As far as I can see he was only a terrible president for those who wanted to guard their privileged positions; who do not give a damn for everyday people; and who think that fighting wars is a sound choice. Sure he makes noise and he lives on hyperbole, but an even jaundiced look at his record makes it clear that except for the very rich who benefit from Biden's subsidies we were all a hell of a lot better of 4 years ago than we are today. Perhaps it is that Trump challenges the smugly confident attitudes that the highly educated so prize and shows how transparently weak they really are.
Hunting for empathy. There is nothing new that wasn’t being said by those of us paying attention four years ago. You deserve nothing but ridicule and pain of worse than you can imagine
" Biden won a huge victory in the primaries."
Absolutely! What a major battle/victory against... what was that guy's name again?
Kamala is drunk half the time too.
'Is that how we talk?'
Who is this 'We' kemosabe?
Is this a 'vote for Trump' coming out party?
Trump haters rationalize their hatred by ascribing every bad quality to Trump, rather than just owning their hatred. If you viscerally hate Trump why not just say so?
You can't run on an honesty platform with a dude who's been lying in public for half a century. And Cottle and all her pals are utterly complicit. The Democrats deserve a comeuppance.
"I just don't get this crazy Trump hatred."
Again, Trump himself was a dirty trick of the Clinton campaign, the DNC, the elite media, and the people who own them all:
https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/
I have no doubt that, among these groups, "Trump hatred" remains a cool-headed, cynical ploy, exactly the same as the jointly-agreed lies about Biden that have prevailed for four years.
The sad truth is that most normal people don't think hard enough when it comes to forming their opinions. Beliefs and opinions have always, always been part of the societal fabric that binds communities together. To belong, one must believe. Wanting to 'belong' is a powerful motivator. It's emotional, not rational.
People that manipulate for a living understand these concepts, and work them to the benefit of their objectives. Trump, while he's not a career politician, also uses them. The contempt that is shown for Trump's coarse language and the rough hyperbole in his public speaking, is indicative of the contempt held for the people he is speaking to. Do people really think Donald Trump is stupid? Or is it more likely that the billionaire populist, with his reality TV and wrestling industry experience, has learned how he must speak in order to communicate with his audience? When he was running his hotels and casinos, it was all about being gauche and flash, displays of ostentatious wealth - appealing to a different audience.
The hate projected onto Trump is the fear they harbor for his audience, and the hate of somebody that doesn't owe favors, and thus cannot be reliably controlled. Unpredictability is a Big Fear for people that have come to think they control things.

She probably uses marijuana products.
I am not familiar with Xanax or Mescaline many of the other "mood enhancers." But I would guess those are in the mix too.
If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
People like Cottle will wind up hating Biden as much as they hate Trump.
I find it difficult to comment on what is happening on the Democrat side. There is a saying in writing "show, don't tell". What is there to "tell" about what Democrats would do, when they are clearly showing what they are willing to do? Just watch.
You don't think they'll throw out valid elections results to install whoever they want as a leader, and a figure head leader at that?
Then explain how they get rid of Biden from the ticket and bypass Kamala Harris.
I posted this in an earlier thread but just in case you missed it, the fix is now in and Trump will lose Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Supreme Court changes course, will allow expanded use of ballot drop boxes this fall

Does she care enough about her hatred of the country and her desire to tell other people what to do enough to save it?
Barrack definitely wants a fourth term. His whole life revolves around power over other people.
But it is speculated that she wears the pants in the family. And I almost get the felling she cares about her daughters. Barrack is probably not in any way even superficially involved with the kids.
I am betting there are interesting conversations being had. They would be interesting because they are hard to predict.
Whether Michelle wants to or not, she is their only hope for 2024 outside of Abrams. It has to be a black woman or the coalition disintegrates completely.
I wonder where Susan Rice is...
We are about to see Trump's polling move beyond the margin of cheat. Do what you can. Register* to chase ballots in AZ or GA or PA or MI. GOTV effort is what failed in 2020, when we could have overcome the 20,000 vote cheat margin Joe won with (up to 1 million Rs stayed home). Don't kick back. Work towards a goal.

You're going to overthrow the results of that duly conducted democratic process and proceed to keep crying out about Trump's supposed disregard for democracy?
Being a Democrat means never having to say you're sorry.
Biden won a huge victory in the primaries.
It's a fraudulent victory if he's been hiding a significant medical condition.
The campaign strategy was to prosecute Trump over and over. Arrest him, get his mug shot, prosecute him, convict him, and make the election about Trump being a criminal. While simultaneously hiding Biden and his worsening medical condition from the voters.
That was Biden's strategy. So he had his AG (illegally) appoint a special counsel to prosecute Trump for taking classified documents. The AG ordered a notorious FBI raid on Trump's house.
When it came out that Biden himself had taken classified documents when he was vice president, the campaign ran into a little trouble. Biden went in for an interview with the special counsel. Ultimately, Hur decided not to prosecute Biden because his memory was so bad.
The campaign lashed out at Hur, while simultaneously refusing to release the audio of the interviews.
Now the House Judiciary committee is suing the DOJ to force Garland to release the Hur audiotapes.
Garland is an obviously compromised AG and I think he is guilty of election interference. (Biden is too, of course, but immune).
The reason why Democrats and others developed TDS and such disdain, is that Trump is too close to them in manner and beliefs. A NYC real estate guy with multiple wives and a TV/film career? That sounds a lot like the average Hollywood lefty. He's an insider who went rogue and who pointed out (often correctly) that the emperor had no clothes.
Everything in politics post-2016 has been about left/establishment pride and the inability of the tin-hat dictators and prideful to accept failure or defeat.
It's a fraudulent victory if he's been hiding a significant medical condition.
I've been reliably informed by liberals that this is a campaign violation and can elevate mere misdemeanors to felonies in NY and Biden can be prosecuted for every time he or his agents lied on his behalf, like saying he's "sharp as a tack." He did win the primary in NY right?
"You're going to overthrow the results of that duly conducted democratic process and proceed to keep crying out about Trump's supposed disregard for democracy? Another irony."
How duly conducted was this "democratic" primary process? It was literally rigged to get Joe Biden renominated and it was done this way because of the memories of Joe Biden's amazing lack of success prior to the South Carolina primary of 2020 which was also rigged to get Joe Biden the nomination.
""Yes, Trump is a terrible person and was a terrible president..."
The first line out of the gate is the Big Lie, unsupported by facts. Of course, the pundits pound the table with it, but the facts are that his policies were good (no wars, little inflation, Putin and Rocket Man kept at bay) and if you want to talk about a terrible person acting terribly, look no further than Joseph Robinette Biden.

Methinks CNN was tasked to throw Biden under the bus at the debate. Split screen of DJT talking, Biden staring open-mouth and dull-eyed, was devastating to watch. There were alternatives, albeit with usual risk of being called out for favoratism.
Those with hands on levers of Power decided it was time to cut loose the opinion avalanche and bring in the Ringer candidate.

She'll be given lots of opportunities to explain why she had no pride in America until her husband was elected President. Not to mention the duties of her handsomely paid job at the University of Chicago that she was gifted shortly after he became a Senator, and was abolished after she left. And the machinations of how Tony Rezko arranged for them to buy their house will hopefully get a thorough airing.

But Trump supporters saw through that.

The FBI will be watching those boxes 100% of the time in order to arrest anyone trying to record the mass ballot drop-offs.
If only Biden's staff had put Biden on the left side of the screen, all would have worked out well.
the corrupt left continue to push out moderate democrats - and suck all the oxygen out of RFK jr's life.
My guess is the corrupt left would prefer to kill RFK jr. That's how they roll.
No one who’s willing to vote for a husk puppet, controlled by a shadow cabal of just who no one knows, put up by a party that’s been lying about his mental and physical condition for years, and who they’re now thinking of throwing overboard without a single vote being cast by rank-and-file members of said party, has any business talking about their completely fake concern about the “fate of democracy” being on the ballot this fall.

I think this is clearly true.
All of the post debate "reactions" looked absolutely rehearsed too. Especially Van Jones.
They were negotiating to get Joe out and Joe refused. He was clearly losing to Trump before the debate. The Biden family is holding out.
I think Jill is more power hungry than Michelle.
That is where the real battle is now shaping up.
The corrupt loyalist hive-left/democratic media industrial complex will never admit the fact - the truth.
Joe Biden is the worst president in US history.

It's not too late - the glorification of Kamala ("preparing for this moment for FOUR years!!") is gaining momentum. They just have to negotiate with Jill - estimates of $100MM for the Presidential Library w/"doctor" Jill's guaranteed $5MM annual income to "manage" the library for the next 20 years, plus sinecures for every stinking member of that family. Maybe Hunter will be guaranteed the leadership role after Jill passes the baton.
As for the 1/2 of the country that doesn't "hate" Trump - it's more than Half. I don't like him, have never voted for him and if I was polled I would say I don't "approve" of him. But even so, OUR half of the country knows that this is more than just one man.
Over a year ago, I said Obama had a Plan B and Clinton had Plan C. Looks like Obama's Plan B (Kamala) is winning. So they will fight to the bitter end with kamala and try to juice the fraud.
Kamala is their Hail Mary.
I am curious, Dr. Ann Althouse, if you believed the gaslighting and plain lies from Biden and his sycophants about Biden's since before the last election and continuing until the Biden debate debacle? I know I didn't. Millions didn't. Did you? You fell for the Covid scam, too, didn't you?
"Tin hat" is British slang for what we would call a helmet, especially one worn by a soldier.
In particular, the 1915 model "Brodie helmet" worn by the shell-shocked WWI soldiers in the photograph accompanying this post.
I remember being sad for how poorly Biden was doing everywhere in the 2020 primary. Then suddenly the powers that be affirmed him & somehow in South Carolina he was reborn. Afterwards it was as if the other candidates dropped out. Biden was the designated Trump killer. I & probably millions of others have no clue whether Biden was just that. But it was hard to argue with success, not even knowing where that success came from. Now, are these mysterious forces operating again? Seems like it? Hard to know.

Normally, no. But it is how you talk when a victory by the other side totally threatens your sense of superiority, self esteem and the certainty that you were born to rule over lesser men. Pretty ironic coming from the Left, no?
But it's too late not to pitch the old man overboard.
Oh no, they intend to do it. They just haven't figured out how to get rid of him and keep Kamala from ending up as nominee without enraging a large chunk of their voter base.
Regarding the comment and link made by William50 @ 11:41AM…
“Trump and Republicans have alleged that drop boxes facilitated cheating, even though they offered no evidence. Democrats, election officials and some Republicans argued the boxes are secure and an Associated Press survey of state election officials across the U.S. revealed no cases of fraud, vandalism or theft that could have affected the results in 2020.”
From William50’s link.
the problem is cottle is shes been told so many lies, she doesn't remember the first one,
Election officials who allowed the boxes not likely to critique them.

This goes back a long ways. I will start at Ross Perot in 1992. Understand that there were 2 parties.
The Democrats represented a coalition of racial grifters, ultra wealthy globalists, and single women.
The Republicans represented the Chamber of Commerce and a cast of Professionals and credentialed "conservatives" with "principles." The "principles" were low taxes, free trade, War, and the occasional amnesty to keep wages down.
Ross Perot came along and pointed out that NAFTA was bad for the working class.
Ever since 1992 there was a growing discontent with the constant betrayals and this came to a head in 2012.
Romney was the preferred establishment candidate. He authored Romneycare. The TEA party formed as a response to Obamacare. The GOPe forced us to run with Romney and he predictably lost.
Trump broke the Uniparty's hold on power. He represented a lot of Americans who were left out of the current political factions. He is terrible because he represents and puts Americans first.
Hassayamper: Don't you mean "tin-pot dictators"? "Tin hat" is British slang for what we would call a helmet, especially one worn by a soldier. I've made the same mistake, and sometimes "tin-pan" too, perhaps thinking of Tin Pan Alley.
As with the recently destroyed word "ingenious" versus the newfangled ignorance of "genius," you make a distinction without a difference. Tin-hat or tin-pot fits, as these predators have control over nukes and drones and aircraft carriers and bombers (and they controlled most media until the recent debate). Tin-pot would suggest they lack power or the ability to execute, so maybe tin-hat is better here.
Call them corrupt warmongers. Call them War Pigs. Call them little kids playing grown up solders. Call them creators of a real-life Lord of the Flies. It matters not. Every one of them (IN POWER) is a psychopathic bully, and very happy to profit from the lives of their economic and military pawns.
"It's better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven."
"around half the country does not feel this way,"
With millions of people in that category, you have to ask yourself, "Why?"
The answer given is that half the country is stupid and racist.
If you don't believe that, then you must believe there is some logical reason for tens of millions of people to vote for Trump.
And as you don't want to know what that might be, you choose to believe half the country is stupid and racist.
Buried on page A7 of the NYT last Monday, behind mountains of stories about Old Man Joe Biden, NYT’s Eric Lipton reported that the Trump Organization unveiled a new project in Saudi Arabia.
The Trump Organization has signed a new deal with a Saudi real estate company to build a residential high-rise tower in the city of Jeddah, extending the family’s close ties with the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia has become one of the few reliable sources of growth for the Trump family’s business operations, as new real estate deals in the United States have slowed or stopped since the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol and since former President Donald J. Trump left the White House.
This new deal is like other international projects the Trump family has signed over the past decade... Other projects include a resort complex in Oman and Saudi-backed golf tournaments at Trump courses in recent years.
The Saudi sovereign wealth fund is also the primary investor in the investment firm that Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, set up after he left his post as a White House adviser to Mr. Trump.
Isn’t it time for the NYT to unbury news that tells voters that the Republican candidate for President is a mere house boy for the Saudi royal family? Perhaps an investigation of Trump's promises that he must keep if he wins is in order.
As long as you think 50.00001% gives you a mandate to rule, there is no reason to understand the thinking and needs of your countrymen.

Right, but Biden's promises to China are "right-wing conspiracy theories."
Throw in that Trump "isn't above the law" for good measure.

But, you know...it's Jabfly.

To the Neo-Puritans, Trump is a colonizer and a white man with no shame. Of course they think he's terrible; he's a heretic.

@Althouse, and you’re wasting your time looking. Your beloved Democrats are all about power, the power to jack their inferiors around, and by “inferiors” I mean the people they depend on to keep things running — to build houses and manufacturer cars and clothes and everything else; the truckers thst bring food to their grocery stores and restaurants, manufactured goods to their local stores, medicines to their hospitals and pharmacies; the people who make dire there’s a steady supply of electricity and water to their homes(and collect their trash and recyclables); the mechanics who repair their cars; the plumbers who fix their leaky toilets; and on and on and on.
Things your beloved Democrats believe, ignoring all evidence to the contrary:
Climate change is real. Every warm front that passes through is absolute proof of this. (Cold fronts, on the other hand, are “just weather.”)
No matter how bullshit their degree is, college graduates are such an asset to the country that we should use taxpayer dollars — collected in large part from people who didn’t go to college.
The Abraham Accords were no big deal.
Trump was a very bad President who lies all the time. (Just don’t ask them for examples of “lies,” and don’t you dare compare notes with workers who saw real financial gains during Trump’s administration.)
Joe Biden has been a good President. (I personally rate him below Buchanan, making him the worst President in the history of the Republic.)
There are more, but I’ve got work to do.
Trump is a treble person... man... once a fetus that offends her sensibilities. Hopefully, he has learned a lesson in Democratic duplicity, and Republican reticence, to earn the support of unPlanned babies everywhere. Oh, and beware experts uttering nonscience.
well the civil war, or the Taiwan straits war, hasn't broken out yet,
The DNC rigged the nomination process to exclude everyone not named "Joe Biden." RFKJR was excluded from the Florida ballot. XXX million voters might have voted for FJB, but there was no choice allowed.
It's like Henry Ford's remark about the Model T's colors: you can have any color you want, as long as it's black. So for Democrat voters: You can have any nominee you want, as long as it's FJB. Of course, they didn't use FJB, but Joseph Robinette Biden, first in the hearts of Democrats for graft.
Here we go again.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has overruled itself and reinstated the drop boxes.
Pawpaw “snort of Schnapps” exemplifies weak writing.
Pawpaw is mostly an Appalachian term. So she wants to rip on poor whites. Fine. Most NY based writers are snobs and racists. So she’s confirming the stereotype.
But they don’t short schnapps in Appalachia. They ain’t German ancestry. And schnapps is mostly a women’s spirit anyway.
The desire to alliterate (snort and schnapps) wreaks the image.

She just doesn't understand the box canyon she is in. The fall of your regime is inevitable.

Like beggars canyon back home
Ballot boxes under citizen surveillance? What will that do? When the army of ballot-haulers are put into video evidence depositing dozens of ballots, what will that do? Of what use is that kind of 'evidence' if it doesn't stop the disregard of ballot processing / validation rules - signature verification and so on?
Is somebody going to yank the ballots out of their hands, and examine them? What would that do, beside provide cause to arrest and cry 'Voter Interference'?
These are things that can be gamed and effective strategies developed, but - the fact of the remote existence of these boxes and their uncontrolled access is the proof of their intended purpose.
Trump was criminally indicted for being a "terrible person" in Soviet leftwing 'Merica.
There is no reason for the mobs declaring their hate for Donald Trump. I suspect it’s the same reason that Drug Dealers don’t hate the police, but they do all hate the drug sniffing dogs.
I always noted that DJT Has the handicap of having an extremely high level of perception of con men. It made him a success in Manhattan real estate development. He was one in a lifetime with his level of deal making and survival skills.
In the Washington DC Mega Empire of multiple Intelligence Agencies covering up for the looting and similar crimes even using assassins, Trump was the rookie. He did not know how much Red China money and George Soros money had bought up the place lock, stock and barrel years before he got to town.
But he has survived. And now with J D Vance on his team he will wipe the floor with them.
Trump's terribleness bears direct proportion to Biden's incompetence. The worse your own candidate, the more you must demonize his opponent. That is my conclusion, from discussions I've had with Democrat family members and former colleagues over the last 4 years. Most recently last week, I summarized the legal defects of the NY criminal and civil cases against Trump in 2 minutes to a former law partner. His only response? "I hate Trump!"
Gadfly. Take a moment to learn about License Agreements and Franchises. You do know, of course, that Trump owns very few of the hotels with his name over the door. If you don’t, then…well.
Trump haters exclusively watch the DNC-networks which never show anything positive about Trump, and lie about his negative qualities. He's Mr. Evil, who never can be damned enough. Of course they hate him. There bubble would burst if they tuned into or read any non-DMC media. The end of the universe.
Trump's business is in full view.
Why do you lie like this? Trump's businesses are not in full view. He has something like 500 LLC's. As such, he has no shareholders to answer to, no board of directors. His accounting is murky, to say the least.
Where possible, I always ask, "what was the worst part of the Trump presidency? The peace? or the prosperity?
Well, the peace is a lie. Trump let Saudi Arabia do as it wished, and provided it with arms, in Yemen and let MBS literally get away with the murder of a U.S. resident. He ordered more drone strikes than Obama, and stopped providing information about the attacks. He increased troop numbers in Afghanistan. More service members were killed during his term than during Bidens (granted, Biden still has a few months left so that can change with one bad day)
As for prosperity, the economy was decent, but far from the best. He only achieved 4% growth a couple quarters and until Covid the economy grew steadily but nowhere near what he promised (4, 5, 6 or even 7%). He also increased the deficit with his reckless tax cuts. A lot of the rise in working class wages was due to several large states (e.g. WA, CA, and NY) raising their minimum wages, something that Trump is dead set against.
Serious question:
Why NOT Jill Biden at the top of the ticket?
I'm as serious as a heart attack. I can think of a bunch of pros.

Untruthful: He lies about things big and small. The fist thing that comes to mind is that he acknowledged he was lying about Mexico paying for the wall. On a smaller matter he called a gossip columnist using an alias (John Barron) to falsely claim that Trump was dating Carla Brunei. That is just downright weird and creepy.
Untrustworthy: He is a deadbeat. This is one of the reasons he has trouble getting attorneys. https://fortune.com/2016/06/10/donald-trumps-many-unpaid-ious/
Unfaithful: He has cheated on each of his wives.
Disloyal: The list of ex employees that loyally served Trump has turned on is nearly endless - start with Carolyn Kepcher all the way through Steve Bannon.
Incompetent: Start with bankrupting several casinos multiple time. He overpayed for the Plaza Hotel. The Trump Shuttle, Trumo Steaks, etc. This is before mentioning how he subcontracted the management of the COVID crisis to his de3p state buddies. Also, he lost an election to a dementia patient.
He is the world’s most notorious golf cheat - Golf is a game of honor and Trump (or Pele, as caddies refer to him at one of his clubs) cheats like normal people breath.

Mexico did "pay for the wall" amdg.
Perhaps not fully and not directly as in "here's a check"
But much of the reason our border was more secure was because Mexico provided Mexican troops, police, detention camps and more to prevent illegals from getting to the border.
So I'd say he kept the promise. More than most any other politician tries to keep theirs.

My image of what I fear comes from the afttermath of the Baltimore Bridge collapse. As they worked on moving the bent, twisted spans so as to clear the ship cahnnel the great fear of the engineers was that heavy steel meams and cables were under stress in an unseen way and would suddenly release, twist and snap back toward the workers with terrible consequences. And that's how I feel about the Biden collapse which was just as sudden and dramatic as the Baltimore Bridge collapse. I feel that the political channel must be cleared - and by that I mean Biden must go - but that a twisted, stressed mass of steel cables and beams is lying in wait to slash out at the people trying to clear the channel. I mean heavy-duty political ambitions, heavy-duty leftism - the real revolution guys, and big, big money - and then the anger of the Dem voters. They had real engineers clearing the Baltimore bridge wreckage but they have DEI types trying to clear the political channel. When I think about it, I want to drink and/or sleep till next year. Or hide in the woods, become a hermit. Or take a raft trip down the Mississippi.
In place of these, I'm reading Andrew Marvell:
"Meanwhile the mind, ...
Withdraws into its happiness;
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find,
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas;
Annihilating all that’s made
To a green thought in a green shade"

The Democrats, even if they could reelect Biden, would be setting themselves up for another Iran Contra scandal type reorganization of the White House. The issue breaks down about what to do when there is an aging president unable to fully exercise his powers — replace him with the vice president under the 25th amendment or reorganize and bolster the White House staff to effectively supervise the exercise of the presidential power.
In the wake of the Iran Contra scandal, the powers-that-be chose the reorganization approach. "They" ensconced former Senate leader Howard Baker as an all-powerful chief of staff in the White House to watch over the person of the president, now considered to have uneven abilities to fully supervise the office, and new national security advisers were appointed, first Frank Carlucci and then Colin Powell. This was fully agreed to by the Congressional leadership who did not want to diminish the dignity of either the office or Ronald Reagan personally.
With Reagan, this all occurred well after his 1984 reelection, which was tub-thumping successful.
For the fall of 2024, Biden's health will be the issue, and it will be the issue that decisively defeats him.
I wonder how Steve Bannon (someone that old Doc Kennedy lauded) is doing in jail?

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS! THIS IS AN URGENT ALERT, READ AND FORWARD TO ALL YOUR FOLLOWERS!
After much research and painstaking detective work, I compiled a list of horrific things fascist Trump and his MAGA people will do to end democracy in America:
If Trump his MAGA people (I will abbreviate TMAGAP) will win the 2024 election, they will send FBI agents to go to school board meetings and keep an eye on all atheist people who express their displeasure with teaching of religion in schools.
They will infiltrate social media platforms with former employees of the FBI and CIA and will pay those platforms millions of dollars to silence and suspend of all the people who post things that reflect negatively on TMAGAP.
TMAGAP will send FBI informers to concoct a fake kidnapping plot against FL. Governor Ron DeSantis, coaching and entrapping two unsuspecting two low IQ liberal patsies, then claim they uncovered and arrested a dangerous left wing radical group.
Because the Supreme Court Justices issued several rulings that won't satisfy the fascist TMAGAP lust for power, TMAGAP will pack the Court with 6 more Justices who are right leaning, thus turning SCOTUS into a TMAGAP judicial rubber stamp.
TMAGAP will use the next pandemic to lock people into their homes. This will give them the justification to use mail-in vote, a method which is now banned in most Western countries due to voting fraud problems. This is how TMAGAP will cheat and win elections to stay in power.
TMAGAP will consolidate their fascist regime by opening the borders and welcoming 9 million illegal immigrants over the next 4 years. In the future, these people will repay the favor by voting for TMAGAP and eliminating the need to cheat by mail-in vote.
If Democrats will try to express their displeasure with the way TMAGAP are running America and will stage a protest in Washington DC, the FBI and the Capitol Police will stage a Fedsurrection by inciting otherwise peaceful people to respond to provocations, and entrapping them.
After these peaceful Democrats will walk into the trap, thousands of them will be arrested, tried by fascist judges and DC juries who hate Democrats, and sentenced to years in prison. This is how TMAGAP will make sure Democrats will never dare to participate in another protest.
The next Democrat presidential candidate will be the target of multiple meritless lawsuits brought by TMAGAP aligned fascist prosecutors. They will try to twist and reinterpret the law, bring charges never brought before against another political candidate and try to imprison him.
TMAGAP will infiltrate the mainstream media with journalists who will become mouthpieces of the fascist regime. Every single major newspaper and all TV newsrooms (save one), will proclaim TMAGAP are good and virtuous and their Democrat are evil or just stupid.
TMAGAP will use fascist tactics to smear their opponents by calling them Russian assets They will pay a former British spy to author a fake dossier to compromise the Democrat candidate, then appoint a special prosecutor to look into it for two years, only to find nothing.
TMAGAP will use an organization of right wing extremists called AuntTeefa as their brown shirt troops to violently assault any enemies of the fascist regime. Officially, any connection between AuntTeefa and TMAGAP will be denied. Some TMAGAP will even deny AuntTeefa exists.
Because they are inherently fascist and evil, TMAGAP will stop Jewish students from accessing campus colleges by setting up tent camps, cordoning building entrances and chasing down and beating anybody who wears a yarmulka or has a flag of Israel.
This is just a couple of things that TMAGAP fascists will do to our democracy if they ever come to power again!
We are this close to losing next election and seeing them do to us all these unspeakable evil things we Democrats would never, ever do to them will be horrifying. We swear!
There was a document dump recently from a grand jury case in Florida regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s name appeared on the flight log at least 7 times. Also on Epstein's “important” call log.
Again, Inga, you have no moral standing. Your goal isn't truth but character assassination. You parrot what you hear and ignore any exculpatory evidence if it goes against your pre-judgmental position.
Trump flew on Epstein's jet four times in 1993, as well as once in 1994, 1995 and 1997, according to flight logs made public in 2021. The flights were between Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City airports, with the 1994 flight stopping at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Complete and utter BS. From top to bottom. Precisely what we would expect from our New Soviet Democratical history re-writers and airbrushers.
Really, the serial lies Rich vomits up are quite astonishing.
Reagan's issues with Alzheimers became manifest after the horrendous fall from a horse in 1989 which led to a blood filled subdural hematoma and significant fluid on the brain as well as surgery to remove that fluid.
Important: The fall was not just a fall from the horse onto flat ground. Reagan was on a bit of a hill and so when the horse reared up and Reagan fell he didn't just fall from the seat of the horse to the horse's feet distance. Reagan fell further down the incline, which allowed for more acceleration into the ground and at a more dangerous angle. Hence his injuries.

New lies covering old lies. Just another day for Rich and his LLR-democratical pals Chuck and lonejustice.
Why would Trump be friends with the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein? Why did Trump even bring his two young children with him when he socialized with Epstein? Don’t pretend that Trump didn’t know what Epstein was.
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
I'm sure She-Wolf Inga and the rest of the Democrats desperately trying the Epstein play are wondering why famed Judeo-Christian Merrick Garland has arrested no billionaires over the child trafficking.
It's a cynical ploy, but one revealing the total delusion at the core of the Biden-Waffen.
Its impossible not to notice how the tactics of New Soviet Democratical Inga and AMDG overlap with debunked BS over and over and over again.
Not surprising really. The GOPe is fully aligned with the democraticals in the US in the same way the British "conservative" (snort) party is fully aligned with Labour on all major issues, leading to the inevitable results from yesterday.
"If you take the vaccine, you're protected," said Trump.
The vaccine "was one of the greatest achievements; we did it in less than nine months," Trump told conservative political commentator Candace Owens in an episode of her web series, which is hosted by the Daily Wire conservative news website.
"Some people aren't taking it; the ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take the vaccine, but it's still their choice. And if you take the vaccine, you're protected," Trump said.
Then Trump awarded Fauci with a Presidential Commendation for his fight against Covid.
It’s a bizarre fetish to want the president to be someone you would like. I don’t need the person to be personable, or nice or attractive or even well-behaved. I need them to be effective, capable and good in a fight if necessary. Trump is, Joe Stupid is not.
Biden made your point about "overthrow[ing] the results of that duly conducted democratic process" of primaries in his speech today.
It's difficult to rebut.
Why would Trump be friends with the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein? Why did Trump even bring his two young children with him when he socialized with Epstein? Don’t pretend that Trump didn’t know what Epstein was.
you still lack moral standing because you refuse to apply the same standards to your side.
And as far as I know, no one (other than the clients, which Trump was not), knew about the sex racket. So, no. It was not "well known" in the way that Weinstein was well known, and all YOUR guys still palled around with him.
Until you are even handed with your condemnations, you will always remain a clanging symbol.
LLR-democratical lonejustice: ""If you take the vaccine, you're protected," said Trump."

You can tell lonejustice is so desperate to jump in like Rich and Chuck to advance New Soviet Democratical interests but he's just not very good at it.

I've found that headlines for AP articles are misleading. Sometimes they get around to the rest of the story just past halfway through the article.
It's easy for them to say there were no cases of shenanigans when all they did was survey election officials, or even do a cursory review of their official reports, without doing any investigative journalism.

There was a document dump recently from a grand jury case in Florida regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s name appeared on the flight log at least 7 times. Also on Epstein's “important” call log.
And Trump kicked him out of Mara-lago and banned him from the premises. Probably about the time Trump found out that Epstein was running a honeypot blackmail scheme.
The FBI has everything Epstein collected. We know for a fact that Trump didn't do anything illegal or even shady with young women because the FBI hasn't leaked it or tried to get Trump for it.
Meanwhile Inga refuses to mention that Bill Clinton clearly participated in raping young girls.
This is because Inga is a dishonest evil person. The fascists cannot be honest about what they are doing and what they support.
Trump's main problem is that he reacts. His followers never heard anybody react like him before. Somebody is Trump's position is not supposed to be reacting like that, saying what people can only think. If that makes him a terrible person, so be it.
Michelle Cottle is another example of a thoroughly coddled intellectual that hasn't encountered anythong in her life more traumatic than a rude barista and hasn't the mother sense to understand how fortunate she is or humble enough to appreciate wgat is around her.

Everything I state about your Lord & Savior is my opinion backed with documentary evidence. Meanwhile you sling lies about DeSantis based on what Trump told you to say and yet you cannot find anything to show that DeSantis has enacted policies or pushed legislation that betrayed the base.
Just like the Climate Change hoaxers, the Steele Dossier believers, the Hamas supporters, the Hunter Laptop deniers, the Branch Covidians, and the Biden Dementia deniers you are a slave to a narrative and believe that your narrative trumps the truth.
If anyone on this forum is like Inga it is you and the rest of the tRump Swabs. You all are allergic to the truth.
No one who’s willing to vote for a husk puppet, controlled by a shadow cabal of just who no one knows, put up by a party that’s been lying about his mental and physical condition for years, and who they’re now thinking of throwing overboard without a single vote being cast by rank-and-file members of said party, has any business talking about their completely fake concern about the “fate of democracy” being on the ballot this fall.

“I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach,” the president continued, referring to the Florida town where his Mar-a-Lago resort is and where Mr. Epstein had a home. “But I wish her well, whatever it is.”
What a very strange thing to say to the child sex trafficker of Jeffrey Epstein. Why would Trump have sad such a thing?

Who is endorsing Bill Clinton for anything? The truth has a way of finding sunlight. Is Bill Clinton running for president? I had to laugh at Trump’s idiot son Donald Jr. when he exclaimed at least my father wasn’t on any Epstein lists!
‘Donald Trump Jr has been mocked after he celebrated what he apparently interpreted to be his father’s absence from newly-unsealed court documents revealing the names of Jeffrey Epstein associates.
The former president’s son took to X on Thursday morning to hit out at critics following the release of the first batch of filings on Wednesday night.
“The left is so much more upset that Trump isn’t on the Epstein Island list than they are with the actual democrat elite pedophiles who are on the list & who took part in child molestation,” he wrote.”

“Said by someone who voted for a pedophile who showered with his daughter, no less.”

What sort of father says in an answer to a question about what he has in common with his daughter says”sex”?
He'll get them squeaky clean!
‘While president, Donald Trump made sexual comments about his daughter Ivanka in front of his employees that were so lewd and disturbing that he was rebuked by his one-time chief of staff John Kelly, a former Trump official writes in a new book.
“Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” writes Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, in his new book, according to Newsweek.”
“Taylor also writes that Kelly told him about Trump’s comments about his daughter. Kelly “retold that story to me in visible disgust,” Taylor wrote, according to Newsweek. Kelly also said that Trump was “a very, very evil man,” Taylor said.”

Everything I state about your Lord & Savior is my opinion backed with documentary evidence."
But mostly your opinion. "He lied about the wall." No he didn't. He got a lot done despite having every proposal he put before congress shot down. By both the Democrats and Republicans. He wound up taking money from the defense budget to fund portions of the wall. Perhaps if he had more congressional cooperation and wasn't being harrassed legally he might have gotten more done. Am I lying?
I wonder if the resident dullard has seen Naomi Wolf's Column about Bannon's imprisonment? Nah, too many big words.
From the Wisconsin Supreme Court article;
"The court ruled 4-3 on Friday that drop boxes can be utilized in any location.
Any location?
Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, one of the court's four liberal justices, wrote for the majority that placing a ballot in a drop box set up and maintained by a local election clerk is no different than giving the ballot to the clerk, regardless of the box's location. Local clerks have great discretion in how they administer elections and that extends to using and locating drop boxes, she added.
Theres no chain of custody there
What sort of father is ok and agrees with Howard Stern saying on his radio show to him that his daughter is “a piece of ass”?
In another interview, from September 2004, Stern asks Trump if he can call Ivanka “a piece of ass,” to which Trump responds in the affirmative.
“My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka,” says Trump.
“By the way, your daughter,” says Stern.
“She’s beautiful,” responds Trump.
“Can I say this? A piece of ass,” Stern responds.
“Yeah,” says Trump.

Ok. So? Are you so clueless that you don't understand the context of that conversation? Rhetorical question, in case anyone else is wondering...
"What sort of father says in an answer to a question about what he has in common with his daughter says”sex”?"
Donald Trump joked that he and his daughter Ivanka have sex in common in a February 2013 taped appearance on The Wendy Williams Show.
During a question and answer game, Williams asked Ivanka, “What’s the favorite thing you have in common with your father?”
Ivanka answered, “Either real estate or golf” while Trump added, “Well, I was going to say sex, but I can’t relate that to her.”

See above.
Now, note what is *not* included in either example you provided- a father showering with his daughter. You know, like Joe Biden did.
Inga B lashing out.
Inga B sad.
Inga B dumb.
Inga's candidate B a turnip.
Poor Inga...
"Inga B dumb."
She seems to think "The Howard Stern Show" and "The Wendy Williams Show" are documentaries, so... yeah.
So not only did Biden refer to himself as a black woman, but immediately after taking the microphone from Harres, who had just introduced him, he said "Ho ho ho! Happy Fourth of July!"
Was "Ho" referring to Harris? Or was "Ho ho ho" his idea of a traditional Fourth of July greeting.

"I challenge Inga to allow Pedo Pete to babysit her grandchildren."
She would, it's how you get insider status in the club
Here's Joe Biden making out with the same young daughter who said that his inappropriate showers with her was part of what led her to be hyper sexualized and a drug user.

This is why it is so important to get the accusations out there about Trump, to hide Pedo Pete's (as his own son Hunter calls him) predilections in plain sight.
Great. Y'all have given the page over to Inga.
"It's difficult to rebut."
Maybe, be we all know he twisted the rules to get the result he wanted, recklessly. He locked everybody out of the primaries, RFKJr would easily have made it possible to contest the convention, but states that allowed their Democratic voters a choice were threatened with having their delegates taken away.
"Why NOT Jill Biden at the top of the ticket?"
Frau Biden?
Whinny! Neigh!
Frau Biden?
Whinny! Neigh!
No knocker jokes to be had there.
Hi Inga. You're still my favorite...
Wildswan, it’s not so bad, just hang out with your coy mistress!

Hunter is taking bids right now for the advertising space on the bottom of his shoes.
That's a boxing joke, maybe its too dated to fly.
Hour ago saw a clip of fiery Biden repeating talking points at rally.
Minutes ago saw a clip of cool, calm, collected, demented Biden with Sthephanopolous.
Which is the doppelgänger?
Full moon,
Both likely teleprompted...
Inga - Nice hearsay.
Not on topic and I think I've brought this up here before.
When, and I'm beginning to believe its when not if, Trump takes the oval office on Jan 21 there are going to be so many landmines set by the Democrats it is going to be very hard for him to navigate his first year without stepping on a few. Example: I think his enemies are capable of sabatoging the transportation system as they leave among other things. Comey hiding behind the curtains is going to seem like an innocent prank in comparison. He is going to have to throttle the deepstate very quickly to stand a chance of a successful 4 years.
He's also facing some massive expenditures right off the bat. SPR refill, military replenishment, and getting rid of 10+ million invaders. Iran will have deliverable nukes before the end of his term. Oil companies are going to be reluctant to take on long term projects given what happened 4 years ago. Interest rates will be much higher than in 2016. Civil unrest will be through the roof.
If he doesn't carry the downballot in both the House and Senate he's going to have a very hard time.
Even if, for the sake of argument, we grant that all of that is true, that bill of particulars against Trump, even the hearsay. It doesn't make him a bad president, things were going pretty good under Trump. The economy was humming along, until the COVID that Fauci cooked up in that lab in Wuhan escaped.
Under Joe Biden, for instance, in the last twelve months, full time jobs have dropped, despite population growth, and all jobs growth is in part time work. How is that a good economy? Joe claims to be the biggest jobs creator ever, but he dates his claim to the middle of a pandemic, and counts replacing full-time jobs with part time jobs as an equal, one-for-one swap.
OH Yeah, and the Democrats distracted Trump from the pandemic by impeaching him over meddling with the Democrats' graft in Ukraine as it was just hitting. Impeached him over the same thing that Biden bragged about doing, and Biden wasn't even President.
"Iran will have deliverable nukes before the end of his term."
If Biden approves the use of American weapons on Russian soil, it's going to be hard to see the reason that Russia doesn't give them all the help they need. We already have completely taken away the impact of sanctions. Russia don't care anymore, because we shot our load. That's why Putin was in North Korea, and has happily undercut our sanctions there. He no longer has anything to lose. This is Joe Biden's brilliant geopolitical strategery. And now. Joe Biden is checked out except that he is open for interviews by former Democratic Party operatives like Stepphy, between the hours of eleven A.M and four P.M.
Inga still failing in the moral standing category. Fixated, she is and unwilling to see the plank in her eye. I would say Biden wins hands down in the moral depravity department, but you keep trying. Keep pimping for the guy who showed with his daughter, who now has to endure a life in therapy.
Job growth as defined by Joe Biden and the democrats: "we've doubled the number of jobs! Where people had to work one job before, now they get to work two!!"
'If he doesn't carry the downballot in both the House and Senate he's going to have a very hard time.'
The alternative is worse.
The alternative is worse.
Much worse.
… Trump is a terrible person …
How true is that? I don’t know the man personally, nor do I personally know the other politicians he has run against (and is again running against). But as a septuagenarian li long ago discovered a way to evaluate people that has been close to infallible. And that is to ask how they deal with subordinates and ordinary people who are way below them in money and influence. And by this criterion:
Trump is a pretty good man. He is demanding of his direct reports, but he deals remarkably well with ordinary folks.
Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris are terrible people.
Inga said...
“Meanwhile Inga refuses to mention that Bill Clinton clearly participated in raping young girls.”
Who is endorsing Bill Clinton for anything? The truth has a way of finding sunlight. Is Bill Clinton running for president? I had to laugh at Trump’s idiot son Donald Jr. when he exclaimed at least my father wasn’t on any Epstein lists!
You voted for Bill twice. Now you pretend that voting for a known rapist is unimportant.
You voted for Joe Biden. You know he raped Tara Reade.
If the FBI found anything in the Epstein files about Trump we would all know. They obviously found nothing.
That is why you are here pedaling Hearsay and lies and still supporting a rapist.
The point is you are an absolutely terrible person and so is anyone who supports the democrat party and anyone in it.
The DailyMail has an article up about a young twerp who saw and photographed Bill and Hillary flying together. I wonder how often that happens.
I'm still curious about the facial markings of the soldier (actor?) in the middle of the photo, and surprised that no one from the ranks of Althouse experts has 'splained it.
"I've been looking for Trump-haters to begin to show respect for their fellow citizens who support Trump"
Calling Trump a liar is just to signal to Democrats and anti-Trumpers disdain for anyone considering Trump.
But here is why every Democrat and anti-Trumper is a vastly worse human being than even the worst MAGA supporter:
They are all LIARS. Deeply committed to lying. Bad people. Terrible Anericans. Democracy Destroyers.
They lie - at least pre-debate - about his diminshed capacity. Everyone knew. Every Democrat and anti-Trumper. Liars.
Fine People hoax. Liars (at least Snopes corrected this lie)
Racist policies. Liars
Terrible Presidency. Liars.
There is no crisis at the Border. Liars
It's the poor, purposeful lying character of every Democrat and anti-Trumper - the absolute worst people of America - that is destroying this Democracy.
