gadfly said...: Mr Vance, who has in the past compared Trump to Adolf Hitler, said the former Republican president is "America's last best hope to restore what - if lost - may never be found again".

So our mind-changer no longer realizes that Trump cannot restore what he cannot lose - but what must (and will) happen for America's sake is the end to his criminal activities. Trump can keep his malignant narcissism to himself in the MAL basement until a judge sends him to prison.; 8/21/24, 4:13 PM
planetgeo said...: Well, Inga, I don't suppose you considered that maybe they should have given him serious consideration. He's a Kennedy after all, and a classic liberal Democrat. Maybe there are a lot more like him who see that classic liberal Democrats have been pushed aside by the far left woke and/or communist wing of the party. He now sees the writing on the wall: no more room for classic liberals in the Democrat Party, not even a Kennedy. LOL yourself.; 8/21/24, 4:16 PM
Eva Marie said...: When are any Democrats at the DNC Convention going to mention the attempt on President Trump’s life. Considering that Democrat members of Congress were making noises about curtailing Pres. Trump’s security detail, it would be nice for Democrats to remind their more rabid members that any kind of violence as political expression has no place in our electoral politics.; 8/21/24, 4:18 PM
planetgeo said...: And it's not just Kennedy. What about Tulsi Gabbard. How the hell do you, as a self-proclaimed strong woman, justify how the Biden-Harris administration is treating her, including putting her on a terrorist watch list?; 8/21/24, 4:22 PM
Inga said...: Why should the Harris campaign give RFK serious consideration? He was always an unserious person, he doesn’t represent the Democrats. Classic liberals have by now left RFK is my guess and you don’t seem to know classic liberals well enough to realize they aren’t the types to follow cultish figures like RFK or Trump. “Woke”, lol. “Communist”, lol. RFK appeals to Trump voters, he is a nutty person, so yes there is no room for him in the Democratic Party. We don’t want conspiracy theorists and anti vaxxers.; 8/21/24, 4:25 PM
Inga said...: Why should Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard, she too appeals to Trumpists because of her un American activities.

“The largest individual donor to former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s (D-Hawaii) PAC in 2021 is an apologist for Vladimir Putin who runs a nonprofit that aims to foster cooperation between the U.S. and Russia. Gabbard has long taken pro-Russian positions, most recently on Sunday when she gave credence to a baseless Russian-supported conspiracy about U.S. involvement in biological-weapons laboratories in Ukraine.”

Inga said...: The assassination attempt was carried out by a registered Republican. Why should time be given to speaking about a Republican man at. Democratic National Convention who tried to assassinate a Republican presidential candidate? I think you Republicans should be concerned about that.; 8/21/24, 4:37 PM
Eva Marie said...: “Pray tell, what cat ladies are in heat (clever/not) over JFK. His entire family has disavowed him”
This cat lady doesn’t think he’s a joke. His questions about his uncle’s and dad’s assassinations are legitimate questions. His stance on all the vaccinations essentially mandated for children and his efforts to clean up our food supply are very important. As far as his family is concerned, it’s extremely sad that they are not more supportive. They could be an inspiration to other families who are politically divided. How about saying: “ we’re on opposite sides politically but he’s my brother, cousin, etc and we love him. It’s what he says about them and that’s what especially warms this cat lady’s heart.
Inga, do you think it’s admirable to let political divisions come between family members?; 8/21/24, 4:40 PM

Inga said...: Oh boy, where to start, lol. First I think my little play on words is quite humorous, but that would require a sense of humor. His stance is his stance, every Tom Dick and Harry can have a stance, that doesn’t mean that they are right and people should take them as experts or truth tellers.

His family doesn’t have to embrace his nuttyness just because he is their brother or cousin. I’m pretty sure he is a huge embarrassment to the Kennedy family and they’re trying to protect their name and legacy. If they love him they can say so, maybe they can’t stand him. As for family members who do love each other and have different political views they seem to be able to make it work because they do love and respect each other. What the Kennedys do and say when it comes to RFK, is really not my business, but is worth noting.; 8/21/24, 4:52 PM

Iman said...: “ The television ratings of the first night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) sunk 22 percent from 2016, according to Nielsen.

The ratings crash suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris is far less popular than the media purported.

About 20 million people watched the first night of the DNC, up from 2020’s virtual convention but severely down from 2016, Axios reported:

Around 19.1 million viewers watched the DNC live from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. ET during the president’s speech.
MSNBC drew the most viewers across all networks with 4.6 million, followed by CNN (3.2 million), ABC (2.8 million), Fox News (2.4 million), CBS (2.0 million) and NBC (1.8 million), according to fast national data provided by MSNBC.
Monday marked the network’s largest DNC night 1 viewership ever, a spokesperson said.

The ratings crash came after the media spent countless hours hyping Harris’s “historic” candidacy. ‘

Inga said...: “She has been an apologist for Putin and for Assad in Syria and, as someone who was in the military, she brings a certain credibility to that wing of the Republican party when she speaks glowingly about Putin and Russia.”

Setmayer added: “As the Republican party drift further and further away from the party of Reagan, who I would presume is spinning in his grave as we see the Republican party go down into this, isolationist, anti-democratic, pro-Putin party, people like Tulsi Gabbard have a place and she knows that. That’s the only reason why she has any relevance in politics today.”

A poster advertising Gabbard’s book, For Love of Country: Why I Left the Democratic Party, is prominently displayed at the CPAC venue, the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, along with a book by Truss and biography of Carlson. In recent years the conference has become a celebration of Trump’s cult of personality.”

Beaneater said...: gadfly, that's a fundamentally dishonest post. Please cite Vance's actual words. Here, I'll do it for you:

""I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging?"

Is it flattering for Trump? Nope. But saying that Vance "compared Trump to Adolf Hitler" is an overstatement that borders on an outright lie. Clearly Vance's mind was not made up about Trump, and he sure wasn't overly optimistic. Apparently Trump's 4 years as president had an effect on his thinking. And as far as calling Vance "our mind-changer", some wise person said something like, "When I learn new facts, I change my mind. Don't you?"; 8/21/24, 5:08 PM

Rosalyn C. said...: Vance comes from humble beginnings but his personality is not humble. On the contrary, IMO he comes across as a bit of an immature ahole. Sometimes he says what he thinks, as if by definition he must be right. He lacks experience and a sense of humor about himself. Obviously in this case of expressing his opinion about Trump, Vance was projecting his wildly inaccurate analysis onto Trump.
However Trump is not like anyone else. He is certainly not paranoid like Nixon and not a megalomaniac like Hitler. He's not even like how he was when he was young. Maybe that's why Trump sees beyond Vance's overconfidence and immaturity. Maybe Trump sees his own old self in Vance.; 8/21/24, 5:41 PM

”Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Throws Sad Little Hissy Fit After Harris Ignores His Attempt to Score a Position in Her Cabinet

The Washington Post revealed on Wednesday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has attempted to meet with Kamala Harris, in the hopes of negotiating a potential position in her administration in exchange for an endorsement. Unfortunately for Kennedy, as the Post reported, Harris and her team have “not responded with an offer to meet or shown interest in the proposal.” Also unfortunate for the independent candidate? That his response to being ignored was to throw a massive tantrum attacking the woman from whom he was only recently trying to get a job.

On X, Kennedy wrote, “VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values.” He claimed, among other things, that Harris is “scared to debate,” and mocked her for embracing the “infantile slogan” of “joy,” before concluding, “I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her.”“
