Jonathan Swan, who's been covering the Trump campaign for the Times, says:
"Exactly. And it's bewildering for Trump because the race that he thought he had no longer exists. He's facing someone who's 20 years younger who doesn't have trouble completing sentences, who actually has energized Democrats, who's drawing big crowds, who's moving up in the polls. And all of these factors are making him extremely frustrated, less than a hundred days out from the election. And you can see this projection in his public statements and Truth Social comments. He's been like, look, like, a sort of this exercise in wishful thinking on Truth Social, where he's saying, I'm hearing Biden's really angry and wants to get, you know, regrets dropping out. And maybe he gets back in, you know, and it's sort of like... I know that's what you want, but that, that's not really what's happening. And so you're seeing this sort of Trump kind of publicly emoting for poor Joe Biden and how mistreated he was, but really it's just a projection. It's the race Trump wants again. Right. And he can't have it. And he's still sort of pining for that race that no longer exists."

PR Fluff. Mind reading. This imputation of some emotional response in Trump that the writer can’t know is flat out lying. It’s become the common DNC tactic. And, yes, the Politburo back room nomination strategy of the DNC is outright, blatant election rigging. So, they’re mocking Trump in advance for the emotional response they’re hoping to engender.
Trump is facing a candidate "who doesn't have trouble completing sentences, who actually has energized Democrats, who's drawing big crowds?" LOL we need proof of these assertions.
Has she solved her cackle-as-filler problem in "completing sentences" yet? Other than campaign surrogates and activists with bylines has she "actually energized Democrats" and if so what is the proof? She's still far behind in independents, where the race will be won.
Well it really ain't a "democratic process" that put her on the ballot is it?
It would be refreshing to see Swan and other “reporters” actually educate the public on the records of both candidates and what their policies and priorities are.
Very refreshing.
who doesn't have trouble completing sentences
Assumes facts not in evidence. When has she spoken?
They obviously have never seen Kamala try to wrestle with a complete sentence…
…and isn’t ‘who doesn't have trouble completing sentences’ a huge dig on the sitting de facto President? The guy they were just a few weeks a go claiming , without evidence, was not that bad? Own goal…
The walls are closing in...
Say sources close to the former president who spoke to us on condition of anonymity.
Crab Rangoon! The Gorilla Channel! Grabbing the steering wheel!
"who doesn't have trouble completing sentences..."
Better than nothing is a very low bar.
Drawing big crowds? Union employees will show up anywhere if you pay them.
Also: yes, but Kamala is really stupid…
union employees will pay other people to show up anywhere if you pay them…
Sad, if true. Sounds like he's not nimble or resilient anymore.
"He's facing someone who's 20 years younger who doesn't have trouble completing sentences ...
What the actual fuck? Kamala Harris has never completed any sentence she's started. Every time she opens her mouth a penis falls out of it.
Narrative promotion requires a lot of words. This is some more of that. Makes perfect sense, right? It does if you have a Masters degree or above. With Democratic control of all the party organs, we will be inundated with this until the election takes place. Only then will we know the results.
Or will we? We're getting better at disbelieving our lying eyes. It's how the masses coped their way through Soviet rule, and it's how we will live in the future if the narrative is successful once more. The proles have insufficient education to swallow the lie, but they aren't in control. They can be put down like the ones in Britain, if necessary.
Or Trump may prevail. Stay tuned. Keep believing it matters. You'll be told it doesn't.
And to think one month ago Harris was least popular VP in history. Now she’s one step away from the Nobel Prize.
I am puzzled by the complaint that Democrats haven't been democratic in choosing their candidate. And Trump's accusations that the Democrats have done something unConstitutional in dumping Biden in favor of the VP. Please show me where it says the process for nominating a candidate must follow specific rules. As far as I know, the Dems can choose anyone they want, even if the way they do it means they can't get said candidate onto the final ballot of one state or another.

HAH! When you're right, you're right. Bear in mind that the last time the Rats showed this kind of unwarranted optimism, Joe Biden got laughed off the debate stage. And Kamablah is a much worse speaker than he is.
Now the argument is the Democratic Primary was always a fraud? Democracy means there are no specific rules to follow? Please tell us more about this thing you call Democracy.
To be fair, Trump got shot in the head the week prior to Harris’ coronation.
He's facing someone who's 20 years younger who doesn't have trouble completing sentences, who actually has energized Democrats, who's drawing big crowds, who's moving up in the polls. And all of these factors are making him extremely frustrated, less than a hundred days out from the election.
So says the NYT [of course]. Kneepads can complete a sentence but has anyone at the NYT bothered to actually listen to that sentence? It is a word salad on par with a buffet at Vegas.
Those "big" crowds appear to be more photoshopped than actual, talk about deep fakes.
Not sure how much of the "energy" is actually coming from (D)s and how much is astroturf/bot driven.
Guess we will see...
It is interesting to watch how people who found Biden's decline so obvious have difficulty recognizing that the same thing is happening with Trump.
Right now the Harris campaign is “negotiating” with the Fake News the terms of the Big Interview.
Questions in advance.
Right to select questions.
Right to edit the interview.
Approval of the broadcast version shown to the public.
The Democratic Party should be sued for false advertising.
Kamela HAS shown a good ability to reread the same speech off of a teleprompter.. Unlike Biden. Since her coronation, has she given any interviews? at all?
I never thought I would live in an Orwellian dystopia, but here I am. Now I am simply waiting for the boot of democratic joy to relentlessly smash my face.
She completes sentences by the process of “subject”, “verb”, repeat the “subject” as the “object”. It is the thought she never really completes.
I think Trump will still win, but what has him down in the dumps is that he is going to have to work for it. With Biden as his opponent, the rest of his whole campaign was going to be a cakewalk.
Harris/Walz is an absolutely horrendous ticket that had no business in the White House and Trump/Vance are absolutely befuddled like generals fighting the last war. They better figure out or Trump will be a two-time loser.
Please advise when Trump gets to the open mouth stare complete with drooling that the world witnessed with Biden. The stumbling… the exit stage left or right Snagglepussisms… FFS…
Isn't it a comfort to have mind readers working at the major media outlets to fill us in on Trump's thinking?
It's weird to me how unions support a strike-breaking administration like Biden - Harris. I guess once you have co-opted the leadership, what the rank and file think matters little.
She will be kept happy with the trappings of the office while invisible "grownups" run the country. Stupid and good looking are her best qualifications for the job.
"who doesn't have trouble completing sentences" Sure, I guess that's technically true. Her problem is they don't really mean anything, she just pukes out a word salad. She says a lot but has nothing to say. She's a fucking dullard.
Americans are about to get a full hour of Kamala Harris speaking at the DNC. Before that they’ll get the fraudulent retired Command Sergeant Major speaking for an hour. No reason to get in the way of those spectacles. The general election campaign will start in earnest after Labor Day.
As for the notion “Trump has to earn it”, well of course. Only Democrats want things handed to them. Alas. Kamala gave a gift to Trump by passing on Shapiro and Kelly, so Trump is maintaining his lead in Pennsylvania and Arizona, two states Kamala must win.
Masterstroke in political strategy considering where dems were last month. Trump and JD Vance can’t get out of the blocks and don’t have the skillset to go beyond their base.
I also enjoyed hearing that Trump was on record as calling Walz to tell him he approved of the handling of the BLM riots. I can also well understand that Trump is floundering just now. The battleground has changed with a focus on the future rather than self -- preoccupied whining about perceived past injustice. The next few weeks are going to be interesting and many of us are hoping for firm generational change in US leadership.
Multiple stories about how Trump is in deep depression due to the recent coup.
3 possibilities:
1. It's true- for some unfathomable reason, T. was absolutely convinced that the Dems would keep Joe as their candidate, and that he would be an easy victor over the desiccated husk.
2. It's false- total gaslighting by Dem operatives in the media who know it's false but justify lying because of course T. is as existential threat to our Democracy.
3. It's false, but because T. is less voluble than previously due to being almost assassinated, they are interpreting his recent demeanor as depression rather than reflection.
Of course, this is a situation in which those who know are not talking, and those who talk, do not know.
Question does Kamala (redacted) everyone at the Times, do they take turns
this is how they react to a 70 minute interview where he answered every question put to him
Its amazing how many Inga-level master mindreaders exist on the left and in the media!
No one can ever sneak up on us again!
the people who told us were pedaling 'deep fakes' have the Gaul, not a typo
Biden had many ardent defenders as well, he's sharp as a tack, he's so energetic, he's on top of everything. Until it was better to admit that poor old Joe wasn't any of those things.
Trump may very well be at the peak of his powers and the fixating on the past and lashing out at people on his own side and burbling away about Biden and how he's probably going to get back in the race any day now, those may all be signs of his vigor. Or, alternatively, those are indications that this 78 year old man is on the same downward slide as his former opponent. Biden was 78 years old when he was elected President.
2016: “But her emails”
2024: “But he only served 24 years in the military”
It’s all over for Trump and MAGA. Death spiral coming between now and November. They deserve everything coming to them.
@Leland, the process of nominating a candidate often used to involve backroom deals and other "non-democratic" methods. The process is up to the parties, of course. Yes, the current and recent Democratic Party nominating processes have been full of crapola like super-delegates and bounce-Bernie maneuvers, but so what? At the end of the day, the Party is putting up its candidate and Americans get to vote on the choices on their ballot. The problem, to me, is the cheating in the election, not the nomination process. I couldn't care less how the Democrats come to a nominee.
The legacy media and their dem allies find another gullible one.
Its precisely why democratical Operation Demoralize is run by the left every August in an election year.
No matter how far and how often these cats go over the BS Cliff some will always fall for the next one.
Hey, did you hear the one about Trump paying hookers to pee on a bed in Moscow? How about how he over-powered secret srrvice agents in The Beast?
Think of this - Vance was on a it of the Sunday shows and dominated them. Pence was never that good. And Walz is also nowhere close. So he is doing the heavy lifting, and the Dems/MSM are trying to distract from that. Trump can maybe concentrate on what he does best, safe that he probably now has decent assassination insurance - I really don’t think that they want to face Vance at the top of the ticket, riding on an energized base from a martyred Trump.
Like I asked in another thread: Is there anything Trump or MAGA world in general could have said or done after the debate to save Sleepy Joe? I don't see how they could have.
Inside whose mind? I suspect that is Micheal Barbaro speaking, and since he only knows what is in his mind, is he claiming dropping Biden is pre-stealing the election? Who stole it? Kamala? Pelosi? I know someone is preventing the election of Biden in states like New York, and supposedly that is a felony. I wish the NYT would answer these questions.
I guess the best week was dodging the bullet.
And Vance was the one who served in a war zone, and didn’t lie about it.
If you go to a Trump Rally - wear a bullet proof vest and a helmet.
The leftwing mob paid patsy is there to kill you... and put a chill on your attendance.
Trump highlighting that the party who claim they want to "save Democracy" used a very non-Democratic process to replace their very bad democratically elected nominee is "floundering"??
If Kamala wins party leadership arbitrarily swapping out the nominee for the person they feel has a better chance of winning could become the norm. It will set a terrible precedent.
The only people dumber than Democrat voters are nevertrumpers.
I guess I missed my main point - the Dems/MSM are trying here to distract from how well Vance did this weekend. He is doing exactly what a VP candidate is supposed to do - be the attack dog, allowing the person at the top of the ticket to be the statesman. Pence was always too nice for that role.
LOL
The Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon truth getting out is clearly hitting home!
The democraticals are hiding both of their candidates and attempting to create a new modified limited Stolen Valor hangout for Walz (he just misspoke!...for 2 decades..), stealing Trump policies and LLR-democratical Rich pops in with a political Little League Level -move to try and re-frame the issue!
Oh yeah, those moves are real signs of confidence! /sarc
8/12/24, 8:15 AM
I am puzzled by the complaint that Democrats haven't been democratic in choosing their candidate.
They literally just deposed the candidate that got 14 million votes in the primary and installed a candidate that hasn't actually received any votes in any primary ever.
Biden was incommunicado for a week in the middle of a campaign and announced he was stepping down over social media post.
This is so banana republic that only a complete imbecile would call it "democratic."
Time stamped and filed under: “Verbal Turds Freeze-dried For Future Consumption by Rich”.
'Right now the Harris campaign is “negotiating” with the Fake News'
We know this because David Begley has all the inside information from left leaning news outlets.
It's wonderful when Dave accidentally exposes the reality that all how his claimed 'facts' are little more than wishful thinking. It's going to be rough November for poor Davey.
Of course Kamala and her goon supporters are hypocrites for abandoning even the rudiments of democratically picking their new nominee. But they don't care. Trump should move on from it and just hit her on being Joe Biden's mini-me. She probably won't even replace his Cabinet.
I was about to say the same thing. I am sure someone is preparing the nomination. Check out the cover of this week's TIME. It's "HerTime." The beatification of St. Kamala is already under way.
And spending 24 "years" in the National Guard is not spending 24 years in the military.
A weekend a month, 2 weeks in the summer and the assorted odd week or month sandbagging a river or test firing a mortar in Oklahoma isnt going to yield many retirement points.
Trump gives hours long press conferences and speeches that most Americans could not stand through.
I am pretty certain that you couldn't do what he does and you are obviously less mentally sharp than Trump.
But keep going with your little sheeple thoughts.
Maybe not. Vance is showing himself to be pretty good assassination insurance. The previous attempt on Trump’s life is looking more and more like it had high level Administration support. The Dems do these things top down. They have no real grass support. They can, and do, turn the violence on and off at will.
Vance rocked it and it was clear the dem operatives posing as "journalists" had no answers. Thus the gaslighting is turned up to 11...but then again, the Althouse blog lefty gaslighters simply aren't very good.
If it was "necessary and long overdue" to replace Biden, why didn't he step down earlier and in enough time to let Democratic primary voters decide who their candidate would be? It is necessary and long overdue for the media to start reporting honestly. Biden was of the opinion that he was the only person in America with the ability to defeat Trump. There was a time when a lot of Democrats and media people believed this also. We now know that he was mistaken in that view, and that Kamala Harris was the leader we all wanted. This is a triumph of the Democratic process. America has spoken.
Where would the world be without mind readers?
It's not like Biden won a competitive primary. He was anointed by insiders as the one available choice on our primary ballot ... this GOP handwringing over the 'votes' Joe got in a non-competitive primary suggests desperation and reminds people how lazy your arguments are.
Maybe not. Vance is showing himself to be pretty good assassination insurance. The previous attempt on Trump’s life is looking more and more like it had high level Administration support. The Dems do these things top down. They have no real grass support. They can, and do, turn the violence on and off at will. (This is where I intended this comment originally).
Kai, the "party" didn't choose to replace Biden. Only certain elite members of the party chose. Fourteen million dems voted for Biden as their nominee. It may be within the rules for Biden to be pressured under threat of the 25th Amendment to drop out, but it's not DEMOCRATIC. Also, these same people lied for months and months about Biden's ability to run for and serve a second term. Why shouldn't people, including conservatives, COMPLAIN when our so-called leaders lie about matters of public importance? You sound quite inured to it, but not everyone else is.
"Trump is bewildered." LOL whatever dudes.
Keep pretending that Walz is anything other than a Blue Falcon.
Walz betrayed his unit. He is a POS and so is anyone that supports him.
What we do know is that Kamala and Walz have given exactly zero interviews and run away from reporters that ask questions.
They have both been cowards all their lives.
Dana Bash accidentally blurted out during the Vance interview on CNN that they "had been asking" the Harris team for an interview (very politely no doubt, being teammates and all).
Wouldn't just love to hear those conversations?
LOL
But sure Dumb Lefty Mark, those requests/discussions aren't negotiations! They are just convos amongst amigos.
Keep putting down the Guard, Drago.
There's plenty of undecideds who also know people past or present in the Guard. Brilliant strategy.
Right now the Harris campaign is “negotiating” with the Fake News the terms of the Big Interview.
Questions in advance.
Right to select questions.
Right to edit the interview.

I love how the sage of Omaha knows all this. How is that Vivek steamroller doing?
"In his mind, Harris replacing Biden, which of course Democrats thought was overdue and necessary, is a kind of pre stealing of the election."
Of course, this is completely untrue. Democrats spent all of the years of 2019- 2024, right up to June 27 telling us and the world that Joe Biden was as sharp as a tack, that he was a walking encyclopedia of foreign policy knowledge, that his minor gaffs and visible stumbles, glazed looks were simply him being tired. In fact, we were told that this is the best version of Joe Biden ever. Even as he would fall asleep in a public meeting with another foreign leader- in front of our eyes. Yes, surely Joe was tired, but not incapable!
And, for the years 2020-2024, right up to June 27, 2024, Kamala Harris was an acknowledged dingbat. A Peter Principle graduate who had blown the ceiling off of that noted principle and went well past her peak competency level. We were told she was an awful person to be around, that her staff had a 70% turnover rate, and that no one in the Biden White House wanted her in charge of anything. And so, from the years 2020-June 27, 2024, even the media were involved in a whisper campaign for Joe to replace Kamala if he wanted any chance to win the election.
Now we're told Democrats had this planned out all along. Who'd a thunk it? Who would have believed that Obama/Pelosi/Schumer and the people who send them money had a plan in reserve and used June 27 to launch it? Gosh, if they can only keep Kamala from speaking, they can win this thing.
Yes, the low information types are really impressed with this metric they literally do not care about during the wrap up of the Olympics and family vacations.
Trump is running against a woman who imprisoned black men for crimes she committed and kept them in prison past their prison sentences to use them for prison labor and a man that betrayed his unit and violated stolen valor laws for 19 years.
Trump and Vance have been doing a dance ever since the cork soaker was installed in the coup.
Picking a stolen valor POS just put a cherry on top.
"Just a stutter," they said. "Cheap fakes," they said. And they think we'll buy what they're saying now? GTFOH
Trump complains about the media coverage and talks of refusing to appear on certain networks all the time.
Your brain must be full of rocks if you think leveling the same charge is an effective argument about Harris.
I guess when you are as desperate as you now find yourself, even hypocritical arguments seem like your only chance.
"It's a joyful laugh that bubbles out" not a way to end inconvenient sentence structure! It's amazing what gullibility they project on the rest of us.
I would note that you are demanding Harris sit for Sunday morning shows that Trump wasn't on either.
As you may notice, despite Dumb Lefty Mark's denial, the democraticals made sure to rig their 2024 primary to keep RFKjr out, in the same way they rigged the 2020 primary to anoint biden...in the same way they rigged the 2016 primary for Hillary over bernie.
And per Kai's comments, the point is not how a political party may or may not nominate a candidare, the point is the New Soviet Democraticals have wrapped all their corrupted actions in the banner of not just "Saving Democracy", but presenting they and their party as BEING the democracy.
In the same way Fauci declared he was literally "The Science".
So, calling them out on their Soviet tactics is perfectly proper and necessary.
Outside of the Biden family and high level Biden staffers who will soon be unemployed I do not know of any Democrat or independent who is unhappy with the replacement of Biden.
Instead of making that the issue Trump should be questioning Kamala’s decision to engage in the coverup of Biden’s condition.
Sally, Trump will be interviewed by Elon Musk, 1 on 1, on X tonight.
I would highly recommend you not watch it. It could only serve to interfere with your hot Althouse takes.
It wasn't that Biden was "not that bad." It's that he was "sharp as a tack," "the best Biden."
Why this doesn't give our lefties pause - that the people on their side, both in the administration and in the media, were so willing not just to hide Biden but actively to lie about him, and that immediately after their hand-wringing about whether there was some way to bypass Harris for a candidate with more appeal and demonstrated capability, they now paint her as the candidate they've all been waiting for - I simply can't fathom. I'm going to keep asking you this, guys: are you SO sure that they'll stop lying now that - for the moment - they've achieved what they want, the ouster of an unfortunately too-publicly incapable candidate and replacement with one they believe they can successfully shield until election day?
Are you SO sure your own ox will never be gored by them?
I think Trump is being smart in not trying to dominate the news cycles in August. Right now, Kamala's handlers are trying to get a feel for whether she can win this election solely through media-assisted gaslighting rather than attempting any kind of substantive argument for her election. My guess is that Trump is letting them have this moment of relative comfort and then, after Labor Day, he'll start to really go after her on both on the radical positions the dems are trying to foist on the county and Kamala's utter lack of talent and substance. IOW, let her balloon rise and then start poking holes in it.
Poor Dumb Lefty Mark. He actually believed the National Guard was a full time gig.
And in the instances where the National Guard is called up to a combat role, those Guard members and families know precisely what your Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon Walz did!
They know precisely. Even if you dont.
To be a good lefty you have to forget the times Trump appears on the networks Dumb Lefty Mark claims Trump wont appear on...all the while harris and Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon Walz are in cold lockdown!
'A popular new candidate is beating Trump in the polls' is The Narrative. But is it true?
From Rasmussen:
"We are polling Trump v. Harris daily.
Here are the updated results as of yesterday.
Every mainstream pollster mysteriously stopped polling national numbers on 8/4.
Weird."
Check out the charts:
https://x.com/Mark_R_Mitchell/status/1822299112160575750/photo/1
[shrug] I dunno, if I were Trump I might be keeping my powder dry right now. My opponent is hiding from the media, but MAYBE she won't be able to keep that up - plus I want to let her convention star fade a bit before spending the campaign's money (remember, thanks to ActBlue and their unwitting smurfs, Harris is up 2:1 on donations) on shotgun attacks rather than seeing what she ground is going to claim and going after that.
Trump has always had a signal:noise issue. In the instances when I've heard him speak recently, I haven't noticed that it's any different from the past - in a rally, he does his stand-up schtick; in an interview he's more focused but always gets in some one-line cuts on the opponent of the day, whether it's a political opponent or the media. And further, in interviews I've heard in part recently, he's as good as he ever was at answering the question he wants to answer rather than the one that was asked - better than a lot of career politicians, which surprises me.
Let's see if this works in our new comment hell:
🙂
We'll get a full hour of teleprompter. No one denied that Harris is unlikely to say "pause, repeat the line."
Hmmm… should you believe the codswallop frederson is peddling or believe your lying eyes and ears and your knowledge of the last few decades and the instances of the media colluding with the Democrat Party (e.g., Maggie Haberman, Brazile, etc.)?
Tough call.
Mark. It would be nice to know what Kamala and her VP policies are. You know. Besides aping Trump talking points.
Election is over anyway. Collective hivemind Democrat Soviets - rejoice.
Pennsylvania Democrats have announced the vote "totals" will not be ready on election night.
The problem, to me, is the cheating in the election, not the nomination process. I couldn't care less how the Democrats come to a nominee.
That reads lot cognitive dissonance to me. You might rethink your assumptions and understanding of Democracy. If they are cheating in the nomination process, which is supposed to be a Democratic Primary election, then why do you think they aren’t trying the same model in the General election process? Did you miss the effort to remove Trump from ballots? Did you not hear what Jamie Raskin was saying about the electoral college certification? Those efforts are not about having fair and open elections.
The visual of a mass of people wearing bullet proof vests, helmets and perhaps T-shirts that say "Dear corrupt democrat leftist mob - please do not shoot me"
would be ... awesome.
Mark just closes his eyes, and sings lalalalalalal to himself. His TDS is off the rails. May be time to institutionalize him for his own good before he hurts himself.
The only point of this post is to make fun of Dave Begley. He has been so wrong so many times, you would think he would stop pretending to know things he actually knows nothing about.
We are also told that Kamala, who never won a Democrat Primary, is the nominee Democrats wanted all along.
There are the talking points for this week. Harris is drawing big enthusiastic crowds (film at 11?). Trump is rattled.
Have you figured out who Alan Bakke was and how the failed "Doctor" that was given Bakke's med school slot turned out?
You remember. The scenario you said didnt exist.
You’re easy to predict, no mind reading skill necessary.
Shut up. Everyone saw this coming. Maybe not Harris as the nominee, but we knew it would not be Biden. I can't imagine Trump was caught flat footed.
This is why maaaaaaaaaaybe it would have been wise to nominate just about anyone other than Trump. The Dems don't need any issues or even a platform when Trump is the nominee. They lose on their ideas, but Trump gives them a chance.
Hate to say I told you so. I do think Trump probably still wins but this should not be a nailbiter. Trump is a loser who already lost to Joe Biden once and you dumdums are doing it all over again. Losing to Joe Biden is like losing to the Cleveland Browns for fuck's sake. He should have been exiled from any party that likes winning elections.
Two time lower like Hillary? At least Trump won in 2016 and saved us from THAT fraud…
All key States run by democrats- will take days to count. We all know why.
"In his mind" - Soviets are clever mind-readers.
Sally, Trump has always fixated on slights in his past. It's a character defect, not a sign of age. Well I consider it a defect, but his fixation is probably why he was President and will be again. Michael Jordan's HOF induction was just a list of grievances going back to high school! It's that way with some people.
Cheating helps, too.
The queen of MSNBC parrot/ Vax Nazi says what?
All of this palace intrigue stuff is dumb. Trump and his people have been talking about Biden being replaced since at least January. The NYT is trying to get subscription renewals.
I think you are correct that the "Democrat" party does not have to include any actual democracy in its nomination process but I hope the Trump FTC looks into whether it should be allowed to use the descriptive term "Democrat."
Let me explain why the process was not "democratic."
1. The Democrat party told voters they MUST vote for one candidate that was deeply unpopular for whom the electorate was concerned about his stamina.
2. The Democratic primary voters complained "Hey we don't want to vote for the 81-year old, we would like to see some other candidates."
3. The Party's Top Men replied: "Fuck off! If you don't like it, vote 'uncomitted.' We don't care. Won't make any difference, loser."
4. Then after the 81-year wins all the primaries they force him out of the election.
5. This was was after telling us it was procedurally impossible to switch candidates. But, now they are apparently making up a new process out of thin air but nobody know what that process is other than "something something delegates."
6. So, the now disenfranchised---yes the Democrats just disenfranchised million and millions of their own voters---complained "so now do we finally get to have some you know actual 'vote' on the nominee. Can't the process you are making up right now include us and not just the Top Men."
7. The Top Men tell the voters: "Oh no no no, you sweet stupid child it's 'too late' now, you have to vote for the dirty corrupt prosecutor."
8. "But we hate her too!"
9. "Tough shit! Pick your poison: dirty corrupt prosecutor or TRUMP?"
The Dems 2024: We have to end democracy before Trump does.
D.D. Driver
This is why maaaaaaaaaaybe it would have been wise to nominate just about anyone other than Trump
Nominating Trump was the ONLY WAY to address and correct the 2020 voter fraud. Not time to give up and abandon ship. MAGA voters aren't like Tim Walz.
Commandant Bone Spurs and the Public Affairs Officer swift boating Walz with 90 days to go is a bad strategy.
OMG. Like, I can sort of like, read Trump's mind?
LOL
So much "confidence" oozing from that one!
Where is Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon Walz? He ran away again, didn't he?
Not to worry, later on he'll say he didn't run away AND that he was in tbe middle of the battle with all those 18 and 19 year olds!
Can you imagine having been one of those 18 or 19 year olds or their families and have to watch video of Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon Walz just brazenly lie about having deployed with those troops?
D.D. Driver: The outpourings of Kamala love and worship prove one thing, almost any Democrat would have beaten Trump in 2020 after all the Covid scaremongering. Joe Biden was not special in any way. Even if Kamala had won the nomination somehow, Dems would be doing what they are doing four years later.
I am going to have to say that Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon Walz claiming to have PTSD might just be his most exquisite Stolen Valor New Soviet Democratical lie.
Rich - It's a known fact that Walz lied about his service in war. That you call it "swift boating" tells us you are on board with liars and lies.
These are the kind of comments Comrade Drago writes if he thinks giving the nuclear codes and entrusting the Constitution to a narcissistic, sociopathic, delusional, and seditious crackpot doesn’t matter.
Mentioned over the weekend: the legacy media refuses to release newer poll results that would be included in the RCP Average after dropping a couple complete manufactured pro-kamala BS polls.
This is being done to help keep the dem narratives alive.
The "tell" is that in previous campaigns 7 to 10 polls were dropping each week...but the lefties cant do that right now lest their Kamala Is Surging BS narrative gets blown up...like in a combat zone...a place Stolen Valor / Blue Falcon Walz has never been...although he keeps claiming he was.
The members of the Swift Boat teams that called Kerry out for his fake heroism and public lies about them and other soldiers, all done to elevate name recognition fir a run for public office, did everyone a favor.
Kerry's "Band of Brothers" speech was an utter farce.
Bruce, it wasn't that Pence was too nice, it's that he is a deep state traitor.
And remember, all the dems claim W Bush stole Ohio.
Dave, how are you privy to all these details?
"In his mind ...?" I'm sick of the arrogance of the mediaswine and the stupidity of Democrats who have been sucking it up since 2016. If Trump is surprised, it is because It is Harris and the extent to which the media has disgraced itself to promote her.

Trump, Trump, Trump, the Scribes are Scribbling. Current Heat Wave / Cold Snap / Flooding / Drought / Tornado: We tell you how Trump did it and Why.
Well said. That is the history they wish we would forget. And now we're supposed to believe they always wanted Kamala, the DNC was just playing hard to get?
So much winning has become so much whining.
trump is too old and tired AI crowds! his crowd bigger than Kings...delusional man this fella is going down again only this time by a much larger margin and all the trumpers up in here will have yet another 4 years to form all kinds of conspiracies and reasons why the loser loses again..Its like groundhogs day online..Move on please that regime is too old and tired and obviously losing what's left of his mind.GLOOM AND DOOM is tired ,, CMON MAN....
Prove it in court. Oh that's right:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-election_lawsuits_related_to_the_2020_U.S._presidential_election_from_Georgia#Trump_v._Raffensperger
If the election was "stolen" why did Trump dismiss his suit? Either way: (1) he's a fucking liar and you are in a cult, OR (2) he is a dumbass that voluntarily dismissed a meritorious suit that could have fixed our US election system and you are in a cult. Pick your poison. He is unelectable.
Keep repeating the lie that he lost all the lawsuits for lack of "standing." Some lawsuits were dismissed on procedural grounds but not all of them. Those that passed procedural muster Trump dismissed dummies. People don't dismiss cases that have merit.
Talk is cheap. Trump was not willing to put his money where is mouth is. That's pretty much all I need to know about whether he actually believes the B.S. he has you believing. He does not. But you do and that's what matters.
Spare me the patronizing "mind reading." This is a time when any candidate would be rethinking the strategy. I certainly hope Trump is. The current situation is quite unprecedented and hard enough for those of us who aren't involved to get a handle on. It's that much harder for those actually involved to figure out the next steps.
So yesterday, I learned the expression "Blue Falcon" and what it means, and everybody is using it today. I learned today what it really means. I don't know which is more unsettling: Kamala Harris actually coming out and saying "we believe in the collective," or her running with somebody who let his own collective down in such a big way.
I’m sure Trump will get his new strategy sorted by Halloween at the latest. In his defense, “nimble” and “78-year-old man” rarely appear together in the same sentence.
A more stringent test:
Kamquat is full of 💩
“Masterstroke in political strategy considering where dems were last month. Trump and JD Vance can’t get out of the blocks and don’t have the skillset to go beyond their base.”
Rich, leader of the circle jerk, understands “masterstroke”. He hasn’t witnessed it, but he does understand it can happen.
I love how these "no profile available" trolls show up in election years.
It's a good thing no mind reading skills are necessary, dullard. You would need a mind for that.
LOL
Step away from the bong amigo. You need a li'l timeout. This is usually where the 1950's true movie star steps up and slaps you in the face to get you to calm down and stop your screeching.
DD Dope says "Prove it in court" when every suit, even by states, was denied for "standing." None was ever heard on facts.
This is not a new strategy. But then again, you don't pay very close attention to the details. Hard to do when you see yourself as so far above it all I suppose.
He's been like, look, like, a sort of this exercise in wishful thinking on Truth Social, where he's saying, I'm hearing Biden's really angry and wants to get, you know, regrets dropping out. And maybe he gets back in, you know, and it's sort of like... I know that's what you want, but that, that's not really what's happening. And so you're seeing this sort of Trump kind of publicly emoting for poor Joe Biden and how mistreated he was, but really it's just a projection
Biden feels like a coward. A chicken s..t. Pushed around by a bunch of back stabbing friends.
Trump is trolling Joe, playing to Joey's anger. Badass, Corn Popper Biden. Trump encouraging Joe to fight back, like the "tough guy" he is.
If Joey lost the election, at least he could be proud of putting up a good fight, not feeling ashamed for quitting, as he does now.
Biden can see the loss of respect in Dr. Jill's eyes, as well as in the demeanor of everybody he is in contact with.
SAD!
Just like Walz, Joe quits when the future seems precarious.
I'm getting whiplash, going from "Biden at 81 is in his prime!" just a few weeks ago to "Trump at 77 is over the hill" now. Both of those provided with no evidence of course. There was plenty to indicate Biden was senile and couldn't find his way off a stage. Trump never has a problem finding his way, going up stairs, finishing a thought. You newly minted Kamamaniacs are truly amusing in your ability to adopt the newest DNC talking points immediately and stick to them like grim death.
I don't see how replacing Joe Biden was unconstitutional, but I'm sure someone could come up with a novel legal theory that makes it illegal.
The election will be stolen by the post covid voting changes. Massive ballot stuffing and over-counting enough D votes to force a Harris win. Why many key states will not have vote totals for days and days.
It's very difficult to prove cheating. That's why the left have chosen it and use it as an option. We used to vote with a valid ID at the local precinct - and all the voting was tabulated in one night. NO MORE.
As luck will have it - the states that Kamala needs - are states that are run by democraxts - and those states will not have the count complete in one night.
Trump was born in 1946. The First Boomers. Harris and Walz were born in 1964. The Last Boomers. JD Vance was born in 1984. So Trump is 18 years older than Harris & Walz who are 20 years older than Vance. From Vance’s view all these Bookers are old.
Boomers
Boomers
The losers are crying already and it's not even September yet.
Lefty Mark was really entranced by that opening ceremony.
Why didn't he resign like Nixon did ?
'We have to pass it to see what is in it'. Remember that?
This is just a repeat. Worked well the last time.
Sure, Jan. That's why Hilary lost. She was after all The Most Qualified Candidate In History (TM).
The election was all about her emails and not that she is awful and one of the most despised figures in modern politics.
"The previous attempt on Trump’s life is looking more and more like it had high level Administration support. The Dems do these things top down."
But, who is at "The Top"? It sure as hell hasn't been old Joe.
"It's very difficult to prove cheating."
It's actually not. It's really easy to prove. If it actually happened. Which it did.
1. There is a voter roll that list who voted and who did not.
2. You look through the voter rolls and see who allegedly voted.
3. You find people who allegedly voted but are are fictional, or who are dead, or who are willing to testify under oath that they (in fact) did not vote.
4. You had four years to do any or all of this and if you haven't yet: just shut the fuck up already. Just stop.
If the GOP were smart they would be astroturfing so hard for Cornell West. Kamala is a terrible candidate for shoring up the black vote. The black voters that are fed up with the Democrats seem pretty sincerely "over it once and for all." I think Trump does very well this year and I think Cornell West will pull a ton of the leftwing black voters.
Another leftist mind reader who's full of shit. Yawn.
The left is really bad at thinking about how Trump thinks and talks. They seem to project two mutually exclusive characteristics on him:
1. Cunning, 4-dimensional-chess evil Hitler
2. Extreme stupidity
And they just switch back and forth depending on what makes them feel better in the moment. Lately they have been more on #2
I'm thinking about this because it has become common "knowledge" among my coworkers/acquaintances over the past few weeks that Trump
1. Does not know what "asylum" means, thinks that "asylum seekers" must be from insane asylums, has stated this publicly a dozen times, and no one on is staff has the courage to correct him
2. Thinks Hannibal Lecter is real
They think this because someone on Twitter suggested it once, and they feel a frisson of smug condescension every time they get to say "Hur hur, Trump dumb". I can feel a few of my brain cells committing suicide every time I suffer through listening to this while remaining politely silent and just trying to eat lunch/go back to work
To be fair to this guy, he's not quite projecting extreme stupidity, just a sad public temper tantrum with a dash of incompetence. I wonder what he would say if someone asked him "What if you had to argue that Trump is clever, intentional, and not evil?"
I agree with Kai- they can appoint like royalty. The primary thing was to parade their chosen candidate in front of their faithful and fire them up. Same with GOP. The ‘race’ was over in New Hampster for a reason…
Rich, you had absolutely no problem with a senile person being entrusted with those nuclear codes, so STFU.
A good reason not to believe the whole "Trump is floundering" construct is that right after the debate in which he crushed Biden, and before he was shot, he said "I finished off that broken-down pile of crap" and "it'll be Harris," in the video taken on the golf course. If he knew it would be Harris then, when the whole apparat was still circling the wagons around Biden, why would he be surprised now?
He’s not. The NYT is fan fiction
DD Driver - I disagree. There is no chain of custody on many ballots.
1-4 - yeah sure. and? You are missing the behind closed doors counting. Any kind of vote fraud can happen.
Of course Trump and his supporters were pissed off! 2024 was supposed to be an election between two known characters: The Obnoxious Trump and the Incompetent Biden. Neither candidate was likeable. The voters were being asked to vote for WHO DO YOU DISLIKE LEAST?
Instead, now the voters are now being asked to vote for WHO HAS A RECORD YOU DISLIKE or WHO DOESN'T HAVE RECORD AT ALL. Those of us who follow these things know the incompetent Kackling Kamara, but most folks don't. Want to show the folks how bad she is, that she's even more dislikeable than Trump? Get off this site and get to work.
"He's facing someone who's 20 years younger who doesn't have trouble completing sentences"
This sentence should be hung in the Smithsonian.
Pelosi publicly threatened Joe's legacy. That's all it took for him to quit.
"Joe's legacy"?
Okay- that's funny. Imagine being worried you won't be remembered for "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up."
“The way the US corporate media transformed Kamala Harris from a national embarrassment to a transformative pioneer overnight -- without even pretending to care about anything that she thinks or believes -- is a powerful testament to how potent the science of propaganda is.”
— - Glenn Greenwald
Per a recent post at Instapundit, Time asked Harris for an interview to be included in the hagiography of her they were writing. She turned them down, and they printed it anyway.
This is another thing that didn't start with Trump by a long shot. They did the same 'amiable dunce' and 'mad warmonger mastermind' BS with Reagan, and continued with pretty much every Republican candidate or President.
It's not like Biden won a competitive primary. He was anointed by insiders as the one available choice on our primary ballot ... this GOP handwringing over the 'votes' Joe got in a non-competitive primary suggests desperation and reminds people how lazy your arguments are.
The Democrat party ran everyone else out of the primary, kicked RFK out, and gave democrat voters no real choice except Joe Biden...
So pointing out democrats completely subverted their weak and manipulated primary by deposing Joe and installing Kamala Harris who has never received a single primary delegate is making a lazy argument...
I think I figured out your problem Mark: You are just a really stupid person.
Well, Kamala Harris is no "transformative pioneer," but neither was she previously a "national embarrassment." Both of these caricatures are fabrications, serving the ends of those promulgating them.
