General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

LIKE SOME OF MY COMMENTERS...
MAGApublicans are OBSESSED with race!! Especially Vice President Harris's racial heritage!
It should be obvious to everyone by now that A) Trump is not a serious candidate B) The GOP has no policy agenda other than Project 2025, and of course they aren't talking about that (wonder why) C) Trump and the GOP are running the most dishonest negative campaign in memory D) Decent honorable people and campaigns don't run like Trump and the GOP.
There's of course more. And it it very likely Trump and the GOP will seek to dive deeper into the sewer they've decided to make their home.
Thersites and Joe Conservative might need to read this and understand how outdated and foolish their obsession with VP Harris's race and cultural heritage truly is:
From Politico:
"It’s too soon to know whether Trump has done his campaign any lasting damage or whether he’s simply triggered another outrage cycle that’s destined to burn itself out. What seems clearer is that Trump has handed his party a time bomb that’s set to detonate after he’s left the scene, if not in November. That’s because the multiracial population in the United States — which includes Kamala Harris — is the fastest growing demographic group in the country, according to the 2020 Census. Between 2010 and 2020, it nearly tripled in size to 33.8 million people.
These voters, who self-identify as more than one race, aren’t likely to take kindly to efforts to pigeonhole, politicize or disparage multiracial identity, as Trump sought to do with Harris, who is both Black and Asian American.
“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now, she wants to be known as Black,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday at the annual convention of the National Association of Black Journalists. “So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”
The problem isn’t merely Trump’s deliberately provocative remarks about the authenticity of Harris’ racial identity. It’s also what the discussion reveals about him and, by its tacit assent, the GOP. The very focus of his argument betrays an anachronistic view of race at a time when attitudes toward racial identity — for a variety of reasons — are rapidly changing.
Trump and the older elements of the MAGA coalition may demand a crisper delineation of racial identity — the kind that they’ve been familiar with for much of their lives — but that’s at odds with the direction the country is headed."
"The ham-handed ploy to portray Harris, an HBCU grad, as a kind of race traitor or an inauthentically Black person mainly serves to remind voters of the 78-year-old Trump’s advanced age — nothing says septuagenarian like a preoccupation with pointless racial and ethnic distinctions.
The trouble for the Republican Party is that Trump’s remarks come amid signs of a historic realignment, driven by gains among working class Latino and Black voters, that would remake the GOP into a populist, multiracial working class coalition.
Many of those voters have a more fluid definition of race. Roughly 28 million Hispanics identified as more than one race in 2021, up from just 3 million in 2010. The pace is slower among Black Americans, but still notable: In 2000, 93 percent identified their race and ethnicity as Black alone. By 2019, that number was down to 87 percent.
And Trump’s attacks are all the more conspicuous given that the only non-white president the United States has ever elected is multiracial himself — Barack Obama was born to a white mother and a Black father.
Trump, of course, was a prominent member of the “birther” movement, insisting that Obama was not born in the U.S. His attacks on Harris are of a different stripe — that she’s somehow not Black enough, or not authentically Black. They are reflected in some corners of the internet, where influencers suggest that Harris will prioritize “East Indian immigrants” over Black Americans, or that she doesn’t share the same experiences as other Black Americans given that she’s a descendant of Jamaicans rather than an American descendant of slavery, or “ADOS.”
Here's the money quote that perfectly describes Thersites/-FJ/Joe Conservative and the Mother Ship sailors:
"These ultra-fringe movements, though, are just that — representative of a tiny sliver of the American public. And if Trump wants to expand the Republican tent, attacking Harris for her racial background based on an outmoded understanding of race in America will likely do just the opposite."
Makes you wonder if trumps desire is to lose so he won't have to show he is not up to the job. Everything he does from his choice of VP to his attack on the black journalists is unhinged.
Makes you wonder why the media is intent on wiping away kamala's past for her, I wasn't the border czar to I am African American, I support fracking, biden is sharp and will win. The democrats have a history of eliminating history that is inconvenient or they disagree with and that trend continues. The democrats and media are proving they cannot tell the truth just like the republicans. The only one who seems to be honest is RFK, Jr
Skud, please stop making stuff up. Are you trying to copy Trump?
VP Harris was never given the title nor the job of Border Czar. FACT. You’re getting your info from disinformation sources.
Kamala never said she is African- American. Her cultural heritage is South Asian Indian on her mother’s side, and Afro-Jamaican on her father’s side. What is it with you Conservatives always talking about race???
So you’re enchanted with an ex-heroine addict who cheated on his wife, so much so that she killed herself. He kept a diary on the dozens and dozens of women he had sex with while married to that unfortunate woman. And he’s a goofball where it concerns vaccines.
Border czar may not have been her title but that is what she was referred buy the media and she never objected until it blew up. You and your media friends are doing a good job scrubbing away her past from her stance on illegals, on fracking, on national healthcare and medicare for all including illegals.
2017: “I intend to co-sponsor the medicare-for-all bill, because it’s just the right thing to do.” 2019: “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” 2020: “When we’re talking about policing… we have to redirect resources."
I know RFK,jr has a questionable past but he is honest about his opinions. I thought sex was not an issue, at least when your girl did it. Heroine is something that the white house knows very well so he will fit right in. Goofball about vaccines or different opinions than your controlling politicians. The vaccine that was developed prior to biden hasn't done him a lot of good because he keeps acquiring covid or do you think that was an illness of convenience.
SKUDRUNNER: "Border czar may not have been her title but that is what she was referred buy the media and she never objected until it blew up."
S.K.: That's funny coming from you who tell us all the time that the media lies and cannot be trusted. It seems that you DO trust the media when it suits your narratives and to disparage people you don't like. VP Harris is NOT responsible for what the media calls her, and she has no obligation to correct their mistakes. She was never the Border Czar.
SKUDRUNNER: "You and your media friends are doing a good job scrubbing away her past from her stance on illegals, on fracking, on national healthcare and medicare for all including illegals.

S.K. If all of that has been "scrubbed," how did you find it? Also, these are policy positions that people either agree or disagree with. I agree with them. You don't. That's called politics!
SKUDRUNNER: "I know RFK,jr has a questionable past but he is honest about his opinions. I thought sex was not an issue, at least when your girl did it."
S.K.: It is no secret that VP Harris had an affair with Willie Brown who had been separated from his wife for 12 years. To even bring that up as though it were comparable to the sex-monger, Robert Kennedy, is laughable and misogynistic.
SKUDRUNNER: "Heroine is something that the white house knows very well so he will fit right in."
The innuendo about the WH and heroine is gossip and a slur, something you're getting really good at, unfortunately, like Trump.
SKUDRUNNER: "Goofball about vaccines or different opinions than your controlling politicians."
S.K. Virologists and the American Medical Association better suited to pass judgement on the efficacy of vaccines than is the goofball, Robert Kennedy.
SKUDRUNNER: "The vaccine that was developed prior to biden hasn't done him a lot of good because he keeps acquiring covid or do you think that was an illness of convenience."
S.K. I have had the COVID vaccine and all the boosters and in 2023 I got COVID. It was no worse than a head cold.
It is now confirmed that FFK (flip flop kamala) will win the election. Ms. Shaw and the press have declared she is not responsible for any of her past beliefs and that biden was one of the greatest presidents ever.
Now we have the stock market and the labor market agreeing that she will be the next incompetent to take office. Unemployment is up, jobs created are down as is the stock market. Consumer sales are down and Biden will finally achieve his goal of crushing the middle class. His campaign was based on the millionaire and billionaire liberals and the entertainment industry and they pulled the plug causing him to be forced out.
Question is who is FFK going to blame for the economic downfall coming. Just this week biden blamed the previous administration for our ills but kamala can't do that.
"The innuendo about the WH and heroine is gossip and a slur, something you're getting really good at, unfortunately, like Trump."
"ABC Secret Service closes White House cocaine probe with no answers" There you go, proof
Bitterness is so unbecoming. That comment tells me you are also angry and desperate.
PS. Heroine is not cocaine. And this most recent comment sounds like you’re on both. I know you’re not an addict, but bitterness and anger can be like a drug if you let it.
Come on, be happy. VP Harris is joyful, we all should be.
Trump is so last year, and the year before, and before and before that. He’s the past. Join the future! It is Kamala!!!
Your comments on VP Harris’s racial heritage will not be published here. They are NOT relevant to her candidacy.
AFAIK, only racists want to keep this as an issue. As I suggested, post your comment at the Mother Ship where they refer to former President Obama as “ halfrican, his wife as “ Mike,” and “ Mooch,” Nikki Haley as “ ni** er in a wood pile, VP Harris as a “brown va*ina.” IOW, post your obsessions with race on the premier racist blog. They love that garbage.
Of course skud is angry and desperate. His man and his man's vp pick are deservedly fading. If it continues skud is likely correct, Trump and Just Dumb Vance will be old news as well as history.
And America will continue moving forward rather than backwards.
No American worthy of being called an American gives a rat's ass whether Harris "identifies as" Indian or black or Martian. What matters about her and Trump is what policies they would enact if entrusted with power, not their ethnicity. We are one nation. An American is an American, whether his or her ancestors came from England or Mexico or Africa or Germany or China or whatever. This stupid fixation with pigeonholing people into ethnic classifications belongs on the garbage heap of history along with Jim Crow and phrenology.
Wow. Take a mental health break and just... well, wow! Old skuddy buddy went pop like a kernel of corn! And Shaw you called it - just so very bitter. The back and forth though, just brilliant.
Regarding the accurate change of stance regarding fracking. I disagree with fracking wherever it occurs. That said I understand why VP Harris is moderating her stance especially if the rumor mill on the interwebz is accurate in reporting she is considering Shapiro as her running mate. Right now all many folks in PA have to support themselves is the fracking industry. Until other opportunities become available banning the industry would only cause harm. Even I would moderate my stance when it comes to keeping families going.
Color me enlightened. I'd no idea race was such a tender subject for our trolls. But based on what they did and did not say, well when I imagine how they look typing their comments the amount of sweat, feathers, hair, hairpins, and little emotive lines coming off their fingers and face is epic (I might have spent my resting time with my favorite tunes of the looney variety).
Everywhere across the interwebz BIPOC and LGBTQAI+ communities are energized. Joe stepping aside for the good of the country was an unexpected move, one the MAGA camp still is pooping bricks over. On the positive side MAGA might have enough material to finish that wall they started in Arizona. Steve Bannon is out soon. Perhaps he can get busy building before his trial for defrauding donors.
I'm still here but the heat is slowing me down as the slightest exposure results in hot/cold flashes and the rest of the bodily functions associated with heat stroke. Not real heat stroke I've been advised so not hospital worthy, just uncomfortable and inconvenient as sleep is the best cure. The new cat aka the service cat is rather insistent when I need a nap. How do I know he just doesn't want to sleep? If it's just just sleep he has multiple hidey holes in the house he likes a lot better than my bed (apparently I kick in my sleep) but if he is concerned he's right next to me. We are learning each others language. Sharing because my attendance will be iffy for a while and I don't want y'all to worry. I know I worry when I don't see someone comment for a while even if I don't say so. Just who I am.
So Skud thinks, "Biden will finally achieve his goal of crushing the middle class".
Really?
Is he THAT stupid or brainwashed?
He clearly hates Democrats and ALWAYS gives Republicans the benefit of the doubt as he mindlessly regurgitates their lies and HATE. Skud is revealing his inner MAGA character again, and it is ugly.
I suppose next he'll say, "Biden and Harris are Communists!"
Aside from her being a female and a minority what are her policies for the country. I'm not trump does not work for her. It is a fact that democrats don't really care about women as they have shown with their support of trans in athletics. They care about abortion because it is a to go to topic. Trump supporters are bashed for not taking his record into account yet how many kamalites have taken her record into account.
Democrats started jim crowe yet they blame republicans. Democrats are all for women's rights yet they support eliminating women's sports. Kamala was in charge of the border yet she opened and now was not in charge. Flip Flop Kamala is a fitting name because she is the party of blame others and do nothing.
Hey skud, why did you not call JDV FFJD? You do recall his flipping with Trump, right? Five or so years ago Trump was referred to as America's Hitler. Of course he was right then. But still a big flip flop as he is now Amerca's Hitler running mate.
Skud’s seething hate and LIES for Democrats is only getting more amped up.
“It is a fact that democrats don't really care about women.” LIE! Make that an EVIL LIE!
“They care about abortion because it is a to go to topic.” Another EVIL LIE!
“Democrats started jim crowe yet they blame republicans.” LIE! Racists blame today’s democrats for past and present racism. Skud joins them. News flash for Skud. They were SOUTHERN WHITE conservatives. Northern Democrats DID NOT “start Jim Crowe”.
“Democrats are all for women's rights yet they support eliminating women's sports.” LIE!
“Kamala was in charge of the border yet she opened and now was not in charge.” LIES!
“Flip Flop Kamala is a fitting name because she is the party of blame others and do nothing.” LIE! And look at Skud BLAMING Democrats for everything! His endless projection reflects his MAGA mentality.
Democrats were all for passing a bi-partisan border funding bill that provided more officers, immigration courts, and fentanyl detectors. TRUMP ordered his minions to KILL the bill!
I’m finding it very difficult time to believe Skud isn’t racist. He sounds just like them. And he IGNORES facts and evidence like a MAGA maniac.
skud asks about VP Harris's policies. They have the ability to look up every conspiracy theory about the person themselves but somehow missed all the policy articles? How very skud like of them.
Democrats started Jim Crowe but blame Republicans? You really said that and you didn't burst into a ball of flame? Oh my stars. I know for a fact that Shaw held your hand through this topic at least twice and here you are, ignoring all her hard work in providing the data which proves your statement incorrect. Eliminating women's sports? Who in the 4th of July weenie roast are you listening to?
The Democratic party believes in Women's Health Care which coincidently includes abortion services. It's not a policy one off, it's part of our platform because freedom for all includes women as well as men. Weird how you keep missing that point skud. It's almost as if you are the poster boy for the MAGA crowd. Bigot, misogynist, and I'm sure there are a couple of more descriptors out there that match what spews from your keyboard on the regular.
Grey, Thanks for your opinions of who you think I am. I do suggest you look at who voted in jim crowe. Yes they changed parties but they were the ones who voted it in and your opinion of history will not change that. I guess kamala change change her opinions as well but her past is her past and she has yet to declare what those NEW opinions are.
I apologize for my intemperate and harsh tone regarding your ill-informed observations.
Considering your inability to process information that is provided here, I might acknowledge the possibility you suffer from some sort of physical/neurological/psychological condition.
Your condition bears remarkable similarities to the MAGA mentality we call Trump Derangement Syndrome. It triggers a conditioned, reflexive compulsion to believe without question or consideration whatever Trump, the party of Trump, and pro-Trump media tell you.
Could your endless stream of radical Right propaganda be your only way of expressing a need for attention, or even a cry for help? There's a reason for your reluctance to acknowledge verifiable facts.
So, Skud.
I want you to know we are here to help. We value your voice, and your, um, opinions.
Here's hoping that you may learn and even accept a few facts that we may share along the way. And we also await your nascent sense of curiosity to lead you to the realization that pro-Trump media are LYING to you and the country.
But take your time. We know this process can be difficult.
I've found it helpful to read what I've typed, and think about it for a few additional seconds before submitting a comment.
Maybe you could consider your sources and whose interests it reflects. Is the information verifiable? Is the source pro-Trump or not?
That would be a good place to start.
In the event you've read this far, I thank you for your attention. If not, then never mind.
Dave... Skud for months has complained that we've got to do better than a couple of old guys, struggling with the truth. Well, one party heard him, agreed and changed direction, before their convention.
The Democratic Party.
In an election which features a candidate who has made, at best, unapologetically racially insensitive remarks, has said he will pardon people who brutally beat police on Jan 6 and is in obvious mental decline from his 2016 & 2020 races, Harris offers a clear alternative.
She is young, inclusive and wants to continue many of the policies of the Biden Admin, which have given the US the best economy in the world, energy dominance through our massive drill baby drill program, the lowest black unemployment ever and a record high stock market.
But none of that matters.
Because when Skud complains, he's really only saying he doesn't care about democracy, Trump's policies and his 2025 plan.
He wants all those policies and much of what you'll find in the 2025 plan, he just wants it with someone else.
Which is fine. That's politics, I get it. But we don't have those choices this time.
We have Harris, a mostly mainstream Democrat, former prosecutor and state Attorney General, US Senator and Vice President, one heartbeat away from the Oval office. She's someone who even if you agree with her politics, you know she will follow the law and keep police beaters in jail and maintain our NATO alliances.
None of which you can say about Trump.
And yet, who do you think Skud and millions like him will support in the 2024 elections? I think the answer is obvious.
America is continuing to change and the direction is towards a more inclusive, equitable, and liberating culture and environment.
The old guard and antiquated therioes and beliefs of the pre "60's" is dying. Thankfully.
The cons of Trump's ilk are petrified of losing their grip on power. Hence their dive to the sewers in their aggressive combative campaign to smear decent honorable people.
It isn't going to work this time. America, at least the non cultists who follow Trump, are waking up and will send VP Kamala Harris to the White House to lead this nation to new and better highs.
Dave, You are absolutely correct. And I know better than to think Skud paid any attention to my remarks.
Besides seeking attention, I think Skud is regurgitating far Right propaganda to help him justify his intention to vote for Trump. This is why, like every Trump voter, he will refuse to acknowledge, or even consider, facts that disprove the propaganda.
In fact most Trumpers, DON'T CARE that Trump is criminal, liar and sociopath. He's "tough" and blames everyone he and his supporters hate for what they see as wrong with our country, including values like equal justice under law, democracy, and equality. And that's all authoritarian personalities really want in a leader. A strongman.
As we know, repetition makes it easier for them to latch on to the hate, bigotry, and lies from a leader. For the authoritarian personality, belief always beats rational examination of evidence.
Skud is such a believer, and his nature will not change.
Reverend Miller, You make some good points about harris and from the looks of it you copied them off the dnc talking point site.
Ms. Harris has a record of supporting criminals so you seem to be mistaken on her following the law. BTW I consider illegals in the country criminals before you attack me for receipts which is a common attack tactic of the left.
I am probably going to abstain from voting for the president because the two for the republicans are bat shi- crazy but will be all in for congress and local. I have already chosen and contributed to a democrat for mayor but will probably go conservative for congress.
Remember the left wing and the right wing belong of the same bird. In order for it to fly they must work together which has not happened since clinton.

Les,
Yep! They're still not letting up on their attacks on VP Harris and her racial heritage!
What is wrong with them???
MAGA: "Biden chose Kamala ONLY because she's Black!"
ALSO MAGA: "She's NOT BLACK!!!"

Good for you.
The first sentence of Skudmala's comment made good sense. Too bad he had to mess it up with a senseless follow up sentence.
Border czar may not have been her title but that is what she was referred buy the media and she never objected until it blew up. You and your media friends are doing a good job scrubbing away her past from her stance on illegals, on fracking, on national healthcare and medicare for all including illegals.
2017: “I intend to co-sponsor the medicare-for-all bill, because it’s just the right thing to do.”

S.K. Virologists and the American Medical Association better suited to pass judgement on the efficacy of vaccines than is the goofball, Robert Kennedy.

S.K. I have had the COVID vaccine and all the boosters and in 2023 I got COVID. It was no worse than a head cold.
Here's a source that isn't a MAGA outlet that will give you the information you don't know about VP Harris's and her real job. Not the fake "Border Czar" job.
If you get tired of those comments, come to my blog. A liberal blog and hopefully rational.
It is now confirmed that FFK (flip flop kamala) will win the election. Ms. Shaw and the press have declared she is not responsible for any of her past beliefs and that biden was one of the greatest presidents ever.
Now we have the stock market and the labor market agreeing that she will be the next incompetent to take office. Unemployment is up, jobs created are down as is the stock market. Consumer sales are down and Biden will finally achieve his goal of crushing the middle class. His campaign was based on the millionaire and billionaire liberals and the entertainment industry and they pulled the plug causing him to be forced out.
Question is who is FFK going to blame for the economic downfall coming. Just this week biden blamed the previous administration for our ills but kamala can't do that.

"ABC Secret Service closes White House cocaine probe with no answers" There you go, proof
Skudrunner,
Bitterness is so unbecoming. That comment tells me you are also angry and desperate.
PS. Heroine is not cocaine. And this most recent comment sounds like you’re on both. I know you’re not an addict, but bitterness and anger can be like a drug if you let it.
Come on, be happy. VP Harris is joyful, we all should be.
Trump is so last year, and the year before, and before and before that. He’s the past. Join the future! It is Kamala!!!
Thersites and Joe Conservative,
Your comments on VP Harris’s racial heritage will not be published here. They are NOT relevant to her candidacy.
AFAIK, only racists want to keep this as an issue. As I suggested, post your comment at the Mother Ship where they refer to former President Obama as “ halfrican, his wife as “ Mike,” and “ Mooch,” Nikki Haley as “ ni** er in a wood pile, VP Harris as a “brown va*ina.” IOW, post your obsessions with race on the premier racist blog. They love that garbage.
Of course skud is angry and desperate. His man and his man's vp pick are deservedly fading. If it continues skud is likely correct, Trump and Just Dumb Vance will be old news as well as history.
And America will continue moving forward rather than backwards.
No American worthy of being called an American gives a rat's ass whether Harris "identifies as" Indian or black or Martian. What matters about her and Trump is what policies they would enact if entrusted with power, not their ethnicity. We are one nation. An American is an American, whether his or her ancestors came from England or Mexico or Africa or Germany or China or whatever. This stupid fixation with pigeonholing people into ethnic classifications belongs on the garbage heap of history along with Jim Crow and phrenology.
Wow. Take a mental health break and just... well, wow! Old skuddy buddy went pop like a kernel of corn! And Shaw you called it - just so very bitter. The back and forth though, just brilliant.
Regarding the accurate change of stance regarding fracking. I disagree with fracking wherever it occurs. That said I understand why VP Harris is moderating her stance especially if the rumor mill on the interwebz is accurate in reporting she is considering Shapiro as her running mate. Right now all many folks in PA have to support themselves is the fracking industry. Until other opportunities become available banning the industry would only cause harm. Even I would moderate my stance when it comes to keeping families going.
Color me enlightened. I'd no idea race was such a tender subject for our trolls. But based on what they did and did not say, well when I imagine how they look typing their comments the amount of sweat, feathers, hair, hairpins, and little emotive lines coming off their fingers and face is epic (I might have spent my resting time with my favorite tunes of the looney variety).
Everywhere across the interwebz BIPOC and LGBTQAI+ communities are energized. Joe stepping aside for the good of the country was an unexpected move, one the MAGA camp still is pooping bricks over. On the positive side MAGA might have enough material to finish that wall they started in Arizona. Steve Bannon is out soon. Perhaps he can get busy building before his trial for defrauding donors.
I'm still here but the heat is slowing me down as the slightest exposure results in hot/cold flashes and the rest of the bodily functions associated with heat stroke. Not real heat stroke I've been advised so not hospital worthy, just uncomfortable and inconvenient as sleep is the best cure. The new cat aka the service cat is rather insistent when I need a nap. How do I know he just doesn't want to sleep? If it's just just sleep he has multiple hidey holes in the house he likes a lot better than my bed (apparently I kick in my sleep) but if he is concerned he's right next to me. We are learning each others language. Sharing because my attendance will be iffy for a while and I don't want y'all to worry. I know I worry when I don't see someone comment for a while even if I don't say so. Just who I am.
So Skud thinks, "Biden will finally achieve his goal of crushing the middle class".
Really?
Is he THAT stupid or brainwashed?
He clearly hates Democrats and ALWAYS gives Republicans the benefit of the doubt as he mindlessly regurgitates their lies and HATE. Skud is revealing his inner MAGA character again, and it is ugly.
I suppose next he'll say, "Biden and Harris are Communists!"
Aside from her being a female and a minority what are her policies for the country. I'm not trump does not work for her. It is a fact that democrats don't really care about women as they have shown with their support of trans in athletics. They care about abortion because it is a to go to topic. Trump supporters are bashed for not taking his record into account yet how many kamalites have taken her record into account.
Democrats started jim crowe yet they blame republicans. Democrats are all for women's rights yet they support eliminating women's sports. Kamala was in charge of the border yet she opened and now was not in charge. Flip Flop Kamala is a fitting name because she is the party of blame others and do nothing.
Hey skud, why did you not call JDV FFJD? You do recall his flipping with Trump, right? Five or so years ago Trump was referred to as America's Hitler. Of course he was right then. But still a big flip flop as he is now Amerca's Hitler running mate.
Can you at least be consistent skud?
Skud’s seething hate and LIES for Democrats is only getting more amped up.
“It is a fact that democrats don't really care about women.” LIE! Make that an EVIL LIE!
“They care about abortion because it is a to go to topic.” Another EVIL LIE!
“Democrats started jim crowe yet they blame republicans.” LIE! Racists blame today’s democrats for past and present racism. Skud joins them. News flash for Skud. They were SOUTHERN WHITE conservatives. Northern Democrats DID NOT “start Jim Crowe”.
“Democrats are all for women's rights yet they support eliminating women's sports.” LIE!
“Kamala was in charge of the border yet she opened and now was not in charge.” LIES!
“Flip Flop Kamala is a fitting name because she is the party of blame others and do nothing.” LIE! And look at Skud BLAMING Democrats for everything! His endless projection reflects his MAGA mentality.
Democrats were all for passing a bi-partisan border funding bill that provided more officers, immigration courts, and fentanyl detectors. TRUMP ordered his minions to KILL the bill!
I’m finding it very difficult time to believe Skud isn’t racist. He sounds just like them. And he IGNORES facts and evidence like a MAGA maniac.
skud asks about VP Harris's policies. They have the ability to look up every conspiracy theory about the person themselves but somehow missed all the policy articles? How very skud like of them.
Democrats started Jim Crowe but blame Republicans? You really said that and you didn't burst into a ball of flame? Oh my stars. I know for a fact that Shaw held your hand through this topic at least twice and here you are, ignoring all her hard work in providing the data which proves your statement incorrect. Eliminating women's sports? Who in the 4th of July weenie roast are you listening to?
The Democratic party believes in Women's Health Care which coincidently includes abortion services. It's not a policy one off, it's part of our platform because freedom for all includes women as well as men. Weird how you keep missing that point skud. It's almost as if you are the poster boy for the MAGA crowd. Bigot, misogynist, and I'm sure there are a couple of more descriptors out there that match what spews from your keyboard on the regular.
Grey, Thanks for your opinions of who you think I am.
I do suggest you look at who voted in jim crowe. Yes they changed parties but they were the ones who voted it in and your opinion of history will not change that. I guess kamala change change her opinions as well but her past is her past and she has yet to declare what those NEW opinions are.
I still feel we can do better
An Apology to Skud
I apologize for my intemperate and harsh tone regarding your ill-informed observations.
Considering your inability to process information that is provided here, I might acknowledge the possibility you suffer from some sort of physical/neurological/psychological condition.
Your condition bears remarkable similarities to the MAGA mentality we call Trump Derangement Syndrome. It triggers a conditioned, reflexive compulsion to believe without question or consideration whatever Trump, the party of Trump, and pro-Trump media tell you.
Could your endless stream of radical Right propaganda be your only way of expressing a need for attention, or even a cry for help? There's a reason for your reluctance to acknowledge verifiable facts.
So, Skud.
I want you to know we are here to help. We value your voice, and your, um, opinions.
Here's hoping that you may learn and even accept a few facts that we may share along the way. And we also await your nascent sense of curiosity to lead you to the realization that pro-Trump media are LYING to you and the country.
But take your time. We know this process can be difficult.
I've found it helpful to read what I've typed, and think about it for a few additional seconds before submitting a comment.
Maybe you could consider your sources and whose interests it reflects. Is the information verifiable? Is the source pro-Trump or not?
That would be a good place to start.
In the event you've read this far, I thank you for your attention. If not, then never mind.
Dave... Skud for months has complained that we've got to do better than a couple of old guys, struggling with the truth. Well, one party heard him, agreed and changed direction, before their convention.
The Democratic Party.
In an election which features a candidate who has made, at best, unapologetically racially insensitive remarks, has said he will pardon people who brutally beat police on Jan 6 and is in obvious mental decline from his 2016 & 2020 races, Harris offers a clear alternative.
She is young, inclusive and wants to continue many of the policies of the Biden Admin, which have given the US the best economy in the world, energy dominance through our massive drill baby drill program, the lowest black unemployment ever and a record high stock market.
But none of that matters.
Because when Skud complains, he's really only saying he doesn't care about democracy, Trump's policies and his 2025 plan.
He wants all those policies and much of what you'll find in the 2025 plan, he just wants it with someone else.
Which is fine. That's politics, I get it. But we don't have those choices this time.
We have Harris, a mostly mainstream Democrat, former prosecutor and state Attorney General, US Senator and Vice President, one heartbeat away from the Oval office. She's someone who even if you agree with her politics, you know she will follow the law and keep police beaters in jail and maintain our NATO alliances.
None of which you can say about Trump.
And yet, who do you think Skud and millions like him will support in the 2024 elections? I think the answer is obvious.
America is continuing to change and the direction is towards a more inclusive, equitable, and liberating culture and environment.
The old guard and antiquated therioes and beliefs of the pre "60's" is dying. Thankfully.
The cons of Trump's ilk are petrified of losing their grip on power. Hence their dive to the sewers in their aggressive combative campaign to smear decent honorable people.
It isn't going to work this time. America, at least the non cultists who follow Trump, are waking up and will send VP Kamala Harris to the White House to lead this nation to new and better highs.
Dave,
You are absolutely correct. And I know better than to think Skud paid any attention to my remarks.
Besides seeking attention, I think Skud is regurgitating far Right propaganda to help him justify his intention to vote for Trump. This is why, like every Trump voter, he will refuse to acknowledge, or even consider, facts that disprove the propaganda.
In fact most Trumpers, DON'T CARE that Trump is criminal, liar and sociopath. He's "tough" and blames everyone he and his supporters hate for what they see as wrong with our country, including values like equal justice under law, democracy, and equality. And that's all authoritarian personalities really want in a leader. A strongman.
As we know, repetition makes it easier for them to latch on to the hate, bigotry, and lies from a leader. For the authoritarian personality, belief always beats rational examination of evidence.
Skud is such a believer, and his nature will not change.
Reverend Miller, You make some good points about harris and from the looks of it you copied them off the dnc talking point site.
Ms. Harris has a record of supporting criminals so you seem to be mistaken on her following the law. BTW I consider illegals in the country criminals before you attack me for receipts which is a common attack tactic of the left.
I am probably going to abstain from voting for the president because the two for the republicans are bat shi- crazy but will be all in for congress and local. I have already chosen and contributed to a democrat for mayor but will probably go conservative for congress.
Remember the left wing and the right wing belong of the same bird. In order for it to fly they must work together which has not happened since clinton.
Talk to your figging damn cons skud. Talk to them. They are the obstructionists.
