Whiskeybum said...: Is that the orange visage of Donald Trump beginning to form in the center of photo #3?; 9/13/24, 7:34 PM
Humperdink said...: Just watched some excerpts from a Kamala doing an interview with a local reporter in Philly. It was a word salad train wreck.; 9/13/24, 7:52 PM
Narr said...: I got a text from the Census Bureau the other day, inviting me to go to a site and fill out a survey. Got a reminder the next day, and a 'last chance' text today.

Of course it's some sort of scam, but I'm curious to see how far they'll go. I'd report it to the local cybercrime bloodhounds if I thought that would accomplish anything.; 9/13/24, 7:58 PM
Narr said...: Biden isn't two-faced. By now he's probably up to four or five.; 9/13/24, 7:59 PM
Mutaman said...: "All it would take would be for Trump to say the cat eating was investigated and wasn’t true, thank law enforcement, and be done. It would calm shit down. But he’d rather children be threatened with violence than admit he was wrong. Pathetic asshole."; 9/13/24, 8:00 PM
Inga said...: Trump could never be this articulate.

“On Friday, the Democratic nominee sat down with Brian Taff from the ABC news affiliate in Philadelphia—a state that Harris has been targeting heavily ahead of the November election.

"When I talk about building an opportunity economy it is very much in mind with investing in the ambitions and aspirations of the incredible American people and creating opportunity for people, for example, starting a small business," Harris said.

Harris talked about providing $50,000 tax deduction to new startup small businesses because "nobody can start a small business with $5,000." She will also work on the "housing supply shortage" by providing first-time homebuyers a $25,000 downpayment assistance to ensure the American dream is no longer "elusive" for young citizens. Harris said she plans to expand the child tax credit to $6,000 for young families for the first year of their child's life.

"I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity," Harris said. "We as Americans have a beautiful character. We have ambitions and aspirations and dreams but not everyone necessarily has the resources that allows them to fuel those dreams and ambitions."

Inga said...: Trump may have found his soul mate at long last in Laura Loomer.; 9/13/24, 8:03 PM
Leland said...: Looked up the interview Humperdink mentions. It is billed "her first solo interview". The big news is she left behind her emotional support male and tried doing something on her own.; 9/13/24, 8:04 PM
Narr said...: The pix are beyond words, of course.; 9/13/24, 8:08 PM
Kakistocracy said...: The Althouse commentariat was correct -- the moderators actually did screw Trump—by giving him the last word on everything.

Letting him talk is the best thing imaginable for the Harris campaign.; 9/13/24, 8:10 PM
Jersey Fled said...: May not be a scam. Might be be part of what they call the American Community Survey which the do continuously.; 9/13/24, 8:17 PM
Mark said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 9/13/24, 8:17 PM
Jim at said...: You know ... if you leftists were so confident in a Harris victory, you wouldn't be running your mouths nonstop.; 9/13/24, 8:18 PM
Mark said...: Can he still get it up? Doubtful; 9/13/24, 8:18 PM
Mutaman said...: The NY Post usually enjoys a good sex scandal but they've been odly quiet about Trump and his new mistress.; 9/13/24, 8:18 PM
Mutaman said...: Not confident at all. Plenty of folks who would vote for a deranged lunatic as long as he promised to keep Black folks from moving in next door.; 9/13/24, 8:23 PM
hawkeyedjb said...: "You know ... if you leftists were so confident in a Harris victory, you wouldn't be running your mouths nonstop"

If the Democrats weren't so confident they can fraud that birdbrain across the finish line, they never would have let her run.; 9/13/24, 8:25 PM
Jersey Fled said...: It’s worse than you can imagine. Here is a link.

Narr said...: You may be right.; 9/13/24, 8:48 PM
Narr said...: Scoglio d'immota fronte Handel Scipione Crowe Cunningham. Not for the faint of heart ;-); 9/13/24, 8:52 PM
Breezy said...: She just seems to be thrashing in that interview: frequently looks away, filibusters, talks pablum and platitudes. She is way different here from the woman we saw last Tuesday. Hmmm….; 9/13/24, 8:56 PM
Mason G said...: "She is way different here from the woman we saw last Tuesday. Hmmm…."

Did someone forget to give her the answers to the questions she was asked?; 9/13/24, 9:15 PM
FullMoon said...: She took tough questions and held her own for the full hour of hostility from the non-partisan, misogynist interviewer.
only question she failed to answer was "Hennesy, or Jameson"?; 9/13/24, 9:34 PM
Mutaman said...: Did she express a concept of a plan?

What was her position on geese?; 9/13/24, 9:37 PM
Jamie said...: Harris talked about providing $50,000 tax deduction to new startup small businesses because "nobody can start a small business with $5,000.",

No one can start a small business with a $50,000 tax credit for having run it for a year either, it seems to me...

Maybe the scam is to start your business in December, claim the tax credit on that year's taxes, and therefore score a $50,000 capital investment from the taxpayers next April!

Except that for a tax credit to result in money returning to your pocket, don't you have had to pay taxes of more than the amount of the credit?; 9/13/24, 9:43 PM
Jamie said...: "I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity," Harris said. "We as Americans have a beautiful character. We have ambitions and aspirations and dreams but not everyone necessarily has the resources that allows them to fuel those dreams and ambitions."

Exactly zero of that is a policy statement, a plan, or even an ideal that differentiates her from Trump.; 9/13/24, 9:45 PM
FullMoon said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 9/13/24, 9:48 PM
Peachy said...: sing it with me People of Springfield please don't eat my cat.; 9/13/24, 9:48 PM
FullMoon said...: Harris defends her policies in interview with hostile while man; 9/13/24, 9:52 PM
Jamie said...: What's her position on the right of the United States to demand a degree of assimilation from immigrants in order to bring their public (and private, where it impinges on others' civil rights) behavior into line with generic American values? What's her position on overwhelming small communities with a mass influx of unassimilated immigrants?

Because that's what the geese are about, of course.

And did she express even the concept of a plan? Or simply demonstrate that, if elected, she'll use that executive hammer of hers to break open the taxpayers' (and the MMT enthusiasts') piggy bank in gratitude for the votes of those cool Swiftie middle-schoolers who might want to go to college someday and would love the ability to default on their loans to do it?; 9/13/24, 9:54 PM
FullMoon said...: Mutaman
Did she express a concept of a plan?

Missionary?; 9/13/24, 9:56 PM
Peachy said...: Kamala and her train wreck interview: snipshot:

Reporter: What are your specific plans to bring down prices?

Kamala: "I grew up a middle class kid... [..]I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn. Ya know?"
_>_>_>_>_>_>_
Oh please - a few weeks ago - economic Marxist Kamala threatened price controls.; 9/13/24, 10:03 PM
Maynard said...: It is interesting that Inga, The oopsie poopsie girl, only shows up to comment in the evening.

Yet she projects her alcoholism onto others. Typical modern Democrat.; 9/13/24, 10:06 PM
Peachy said...: More train wreck:
Kamala: "For example, thinking about developing and creating an opportunity economy where it's about investing in areas that really need a lot of work and maybe focusing on again the aspirations and the dreams but also just recognizing that at this moment in time some of this stuff we could take for granted years ago, we can't take for granted anymore."

When a democrat/leftist says "investment" - it means take someone's hard-earned income, and give it to new-hire on the government payroll.; 9/13/24, 10:06 PM
FullMoon said...: Oh, wait, ON geese.
Reverse Cowgirl; 9/13/24, 10:06 PM
Peachy said...: "Can anyone pick out an actual policy proposal in that word salad? She keeps talking about "investing" in things but doesn't specify a single thing she'd invest in. "Dreams and aspirations" are not a tangible government policy, nor does spending gobs of money do anything to help bring down costs for the middle-class. This is the same slop she served up at the debate. Yes, she was well rehearsed, but underneath the facade, there was nothing there. "

Inga said...: I comment at all different times of day. If you weren’t drunk you would know this. Put down the bottle before you start talking about you know what again you deviant.; 9/13/24, 10:32 PM
HistoryDoc said...: The pet eating memes and Trump as animal savior memes are classic Alinsky tactics being used against Dems. Nothing pisses off progressives more than being mocked. This is classic use of rules 5, 6, and 12. Conservatives may have stumbled upon their most effective strategy to counter all the "joy" being used against them.; 9/13/24, 10:37 PM
Inga said...: https://www.newsguardrealitycheck.com/p/origins-haitians-eating-pets-claim

Triple Hearsay: Original Sources of the Claim that Haitians Eat Pets in Ohio Admit No First-Hand Knowledge

“I’m not sure I’m the most credible source because I don’t actually know the person who lost the cat,” Kimberly Newton told NewsGuard. She is the Springfield, Ohio, resident whose story started it all.”; 9/13/24, 10:39 PM
Mutaman said...: Relative to what? A "concept of a plan"?; 9/13/24, 10:42 PM
Mutaman said...: "being used against Dems" ???; 9/13/24, 10:44 PM
Dr Weevil said...: Are the foul-minded Trump haters here paid to damage this site? Quite possibly. Are they given talking points from some central source? Perhaps not. A competently organized campaign would not simultaneously accuse Trump of (a) having a mistress, and (b) not being able to "get it up". I imagine Mark and Mutaman spend their time here rather than on Twitter because Twitter has a block feature, and Althouse doesn't. They're certainly disgusting. I've asked Mark before if he's the same Mark that ruined thousands of comment threads at Betsy's Page, but he didn't answer, so I'll ask again. Are you that Mark?; 9/13/24, 10:50 PM

Iman said...: Meh… go do a triple Lindy off the Sears Tower, Igna.; 9/13/24, 10:55 PM
gadfly said...: Did you know that Donald built his golf course in Bedminster, NJ using illegals that he paid $8.00/hr with no overtime, working daylight to dark? These immigrants were given fake green cards, fake social security cards and fake names. And they were recruited by the Trump Organization to enter the country illegally.

wendybar said...: Why are you complaining?? Progressives are bringing them here to do the jobs Americans won't and to work as slaves for the rich. You should be happy, because he is giving them a better life, right?? Grow up. What are YOU giving to the illegals your side is ushering in??; 9/14/24, 2:55 AM
Mark said...: Yeah, because no one on the right is running their mouth here.; 9/14/24, 3:00 AM
Mark said...: Who the hell is Betsy?

You guys act like your looney tunes claims are sane. How about the tiniest scrap of evidence to support your claim here?

Oh wait, you won't provide that, just scurrilous accusations again and again. GFY; 9/14/24, 3:03 AM

BUMBLE BEE said...: Beautiful dawn sequence!; 9/14/24, 4:05 AM
BUMBLE BEE said...: Inga Alinsky! If you have watched USA politics closely since the rise of the Obama movement (circa 2006-ish), you will note their heavy emphasis on using the Alinsky tactics against their political enemies. They always isolate, ridicule and marginalize (Alinsky Rule #6). H/T Sundance; 9/14/24, 4:07 AM

It's not like our we're deeply in debt already or anything.; 9/14/24, 8:09 AM
Rusty said...: Don't be so hard on yourself. You're a pitiful asshole.; 9/14/24, 8:51 AM
Rusty said...: OOooo! She did it all by herself! Let's vote for her!
Watch the Harris interview. Now go into the Althouse archives and watch any interview that A. Althouse did.
Enough said.; 9/14/24, 8:55 AM
Rusty said...: I am. But every time I try to engage in a dialog with you, you don't want to engage.
Explain Harris' policies. How are price controls an advantage for the middle class? Why is taxing unrealized gains a good/bad idea?
I've been here a long time and all I get from you guys is snark and talking points. That behavior just reinforces the impression that all oy are intellectual lightweights.; 9/14/24, 9:03 AM
Rusty said...: Did gadfy just volunteer to house some illegal immigrants? Good for you, gadfly!; 9/14/24, 9:07 AM

Two stranded space people getting sent their mail ins, Ms Williams is from Indian Origin and Butch is from Tennessee, as an avid one who wagers I have a good idea and would bet on who each one is voting for! At least 1 more vote for Kamala :); 9/14/24, 9:34 AM
Dr Weevil said...: An honest man who had never heard of Betsy's Page would have done a web-search on "Betsy's Page" and discovered that it was a weblog, now defunct, important enough to be archived by the Library of Congress. That was the very first link on DuckDuckGo. I believe Betsy was forced to take it down due to a campaign of threats and gross harrassment against her that threatened her job. Why can't Mark answer a simple yes-or-no question? It looks like he's evading the question, which suggests that he may be the same Mark. The style is similar, and both targets are women and teachers, present or former.

An honest man would not lump me together with vague others as "You guys" (who are the others?), and would not ask for "the tiniest scrap of evidence to support [my] claim here", because I made no claim, except that Mark and Mutaman are "disgusting", which is obviously true. Everything else I wrote was surmise or question. I even defended the two of them against the idea that they were repeating talking points.

So, Mark, how about answering the question? And maybe picking a more distinctive user name while you're at it?; 9/14/24, 10:39 AM
Jersey Fled said...: Pardon me if I’m wrong, but didn’t she have two college professors for parents?; 9/14/24, 2:42 PM
