The_Deplorable says

The Chicago one is surrounded by ghetto. It's literally about two blocks of decent houses, older houses. Sold a house on their block and had to deal with SS. It's an area where you can get smacked with a stray bullet. They fortified his block even though he wasn't there 90% of the time.

I wouldn't really want to live in any of those locations either. Get me 100 acres or so with an updated ranch at 2,400 sf. Maybe a pond. Wisconsin or even central IL. I don't need a huge house, I want land. It would be 1/4 of the cost. Hunt, get some off road toys, fish, play loud music, etc. Not worry about pretentious neighbors.

Like I said, I'll never vote Kamala. The whole Trump thing is starting to wear on me. A lot of the ass hole types are starting to come out of the closet. More boisterous about their support. That keeps people away. Put a sign up but don't be a dick now that it looks like he'll win. Take it in stride. Put a sign up. Don't get in conflict with your neighbors even if you disagree.

Some of the MAGA people act like Hell's Angels members of the past. You don't own the fucking place. Support your guy and understand not every is going to agree.

one the one hand, we saw the 60 minutes edits of kammy to try to prop her up.

on the other, the hit just keep coming and the snippets of unedited interview are startling.

they must know what they are putting out.

the woman is a full blown informercial for a word salad spinner.

this is a softball style question, but it has some teeth, some depth.

it’s something she genuinely ought to be not only able but required to answer.

“is democracy best served by president biden stepping down and basically handing you a nomination?”

it’s an important question and her answer is a full blown fumble that fails to address the point and merely meanders around through “powerful people picked and support me.”

(at least she did not tell us she was born in a middle class family)

it’s interesting that despite the walk back on previous postings, CBS did actually ask her this question at all. it’s a major departure from past practice and it makes me wonder if unitary actor theory is failing us here.

let’s explore:

many are now opining that it’s now open war between joe and kams.




i have personally heard the same from multiple prominent US congresspeople i made friends with during the covid days and with whom i still chat.

it’s nice to have pals.

lots of folks seem to be noticing.




it’s getting sort of hilarious.

this is what makes it dangerous to assume any group (like the GOP or the democratic party or “the media”) is a monolithic actor that only has one set of wants.

joe is throwing kammy under the bus. “my policies (which you hate) are her policies. she was involved!”

the fact that she was dumb enough to go on the view and confirm this instead of setting herself up as her own person really says it all, no?

this is an empty pantsuit.

honestly, it’s worse. an empty suit would have done nothing and stayed silent letting the machine do the work. but not here. walz got clowned in the veep debate and people saw him. now they are seeing kammy whammy fumble easy tricks in easy, friendly interviews.

she’s simply awful and it’s becoming impossible to deny.

the parallel to “the whole media and political class protected dementia joe and lied about his mental incapacity” is inescapable and media and politicos alike do NOT want to be left holding that same bag twice in a row.

so they are bailing.

the polls look irrelevant and have not even made sense. they look to be over-sampling dems severely.

word is the internal polls are telling a very different story, one of “losing nearly all the big swing states” and perhaps fear that this is past the margin of cheating is setting in.

brandon has set his sights in harris and wants to shoot her down and she’s too hapless and arrogant to do the smart thing and stop speaking. and now it’s too late. at this point, even that would make her look awful.

she clowned her FEMA oversight and got creamed on “infinite money for illegal immigrants and foreign wars, but none for americans.”

then she got caught on a live mic getting the questions she should ask FEMA staffers to look “leadershippy” passed on to her from a staffer.

and then, of course, there’s FEMA overall which has become such a clownshow that they sent electric chainsaws to a town with no power.

they prioritize DEI and climate change over “preparedness.” ...

predictable people put predictable spin on this, but it predictably backfired.

god i love the internet.




... they’re all turning on her unelected majesty and the pantsuit pratfalls will continue until everyone see’s what’s going on and probably well past it.

the honeymoon is over.

the october surprise will be “meeting kamala and realizing that no one wants her and that much of the DNC would rather have a fresh start in 4 years that have to pretend this woman has an IQ above room temperature and can string coherent concepts much less coherent policy together.”

powerful people have now met her. she’s a bad person, disingenuous, stupid, and incompetent. she’s also nasty as a snake and horrible to work for or with. this “mamala empathy” is a cynical sham.

get your popcorn, the movie is about to get fun.

Trump is literally posting clips of Kamala speaking as his own campaign ads:

Don’t kid yourself: Kamala Harris does not want to be President of the United States. She doesn’t even want the ceremonial stuff, the incessant shuffling from one photo op to the next, the tedious Easter egg rolls, the prayer meetings, the turkey pardonings, the tiresome state banquets for men in strange headgear who are unfamiliar with using the fork and knife, and forbidden to sip chardonnay. . . .

It’s obvious she has been played for a chump, that she was sandbagged into play-acting “the candidate” by an odd coalition of the distraught and the desperate — that is, the many agency blobsters who fear prison and the perfidious politicians such as Pelosi, Schumer, Mitch the Turtle, the Clintons, and Obama, paid to cover for the blob, often doing it badly, who fear the judgment of history, as well as the loss of their fortunes. Distraught and desperate characters make foolish decisions.

About thirty seconds after “Joe Biden” vowed to stay in the 2024 race, a delegation of these panicked pols paid him a call and passed him the black spot, knowing he could not credibly front for the massive election cheat underway. He was barely able to front for the previous one in 2020, when every lever of power got pulled to-the-max to conceal the truth about the steal, and to severely punish those who dared to murmur doubts about the election’s freeness and fairness. ...

The outstanding question: will the Democratic Party actually go ahead and attempt to execute an election steal despite growing evidence of a developing Trump landslide that might obviate it? The works are already in motion. The mail-in ballots went out long ago and early votes are getting cast by the day. The overseas ballots that require no US address or voter verification are flooding in by the millions and four years of open borders has 10-million illegal aliens (at a minimum) dispersed around the nation, great gobs of them planted in swing states, processed through the DMVs and social services — with the requisite automatic voter registration — their ballots already pre-bundled for harvest.

It could go a few ways. One is, just let’er rip, harvest all those fake votes, stuff the drop-boxes, flood the zone, and do it all right in America’s face as if to say: we can do whatever we want. . . to get whatever we want. . . and you can’t stop us. That is probably the point where blue America finds out exactly what the Second Amendment was designed for. You might also expect a whole lot of state-organized resistance, especially in the populous red ones, Texas, Florida, real court cases over fraud this time, contested certification.

Or, the election could come out a hopeless unresolvable muddle. There’s no precedent for this and no provision in the Constitution, but you can imagine the Supreme Court having to decide a necessary do-over minus all recent gimmicks, paper ballots only, voters with proof of citizenship only, all voting on one re-scheduled election day before January 1. This novelty would be something apart from the clunky Congressional machinery established for settling electoral college disputes, since it is predicated on various states’ inability to determine their electoral college vote in the first place, based on patent irregularity and fraud. ...

Long ago, she was a pretty girl with a law degree and an infectious laugh on the fringes of local politics in San Francisco. The winds of fortune blew her this way and that way until she ended up way over her head, used by the reprobates around her as a mere device to stay out of jail. She ends as an historical prank on her own country. It must be deeply demoralizing to be used like that in front of the whole world.

The New York Times ran an obscene story yesterday headlined, “Porn Industry Jumps Into the Presidential Campaign, Targeting Project 2025.” Smut-peddlers for Harris! What else do you need to know?

On Monday, seventeen pornographic film actors announced that they had launched a $100,000 ad campaign on their websites called “Hands Off My Porn.” They’re terrified at the Heritage Foundation’s excellent Project 2025 plan, which calls for age verification and is very critical of the so-called “adult” industry. Thus, vote for Kamala, who will make sure kids can see online smut.

Apparently, young men are big Trump supporters, and this totally organic plan aims to convince them otherwise. But it may have misfired, since the sales pitch vote Harris to save porn isn’t resonating with wider audiences.

The Scent of a Harris Panic in the Air

The 2024 race is still close.

But then so was the 1980 Carter-Reagan race at this same juncture.

Indeed, incumbent president Carter was then comfortably up in the last two October Gallup polls—before utterly and suddenly evaporating on Election Day.

But in the last seven days, there seems a sense of panic in the Harris campaign.

How do we know that?

Why are Democratic pundits—from Axelrod to Carville—blasting the Harris campaign and otherwise warning of bad things to come?

Why are some of the once Democrat sure-thing senate races—e.g., in Ohio, Wisconsin, and even Michigan—tightening up?

Pundit poll-watchers are suggesting that Trump is close, even, or slightly ahead in the swing-state polls, suggesting that he is nearing a margin that could cancel out anticipated “ballot irregularities”.

The expected October Harris-Biden surprises—the opportune Fed interest rate cut, the transparently desperate Jack Smith beefed-up re-indictment, the current new Hollywood Trump-hit movie, the desperate Zelensky fly-in to Pennsylvania, the election-cycle customary Bob Woodward unsourced gossip book—seemed so far to have had no effect.

Why would any campaign send out the bumbling Tim Walz to a Fox Sunday interview after his disastrous debate?

Why is a suddenly smiling Biden so eager to claim candidate and VP Harris as a co-conspirator to his disastrous four years?

Why would Harris pivot and now agree to (admittedly mostly softball) interviews, thus confirming to the voting public why she wisely had previously avoided all press conferences, interviews, and town halls?

Why—after the last two moderator-rigged ABC and CBS debates—would Harris desperately want another and possibly believe that Trump would ever agree to any such warped forum?

The last 4-5 Harris scripted interviews, but especially on CBS’s 60 Minutes, have been train wrecks.

Everyone expected (and was not disappointed) the on-spec word salads, predictable sappy retreats to her misleading bio, the now accustomed deer-in-the-headlights confusion about her prior three years with Biden, and the general mush in lieu of any policy prescriptions.

Why would CBS think it worth ruining its already debased reputation by doctoring the transcript of the Harris disastrous interview in a vain attempt at Orwellian repair?

Why is a rusty but still narcissistic Barack Obama at last hitting the campaign trail?

And is he still effective—or reduced to becoming an Oprah-like caricature?

After all, is it wise for the elite Obama (in his now accustomed snarky “clingers” style) to venture out of his mansions (Kalorama? the Hawaii beachfront? or the Martha Vineyard estate?) to talk down to black males struggling under years of a hyperinflationary economy, a flood of illegal immigrants from an open border, and a four-year-spiking crime rate?

Does the Netflix grandee berating black men as victims of false consciousness, misled, and brainwashed into voting for the Trump agenda really win them over to Harris?

Does the hundred-million-dollar-plus man Obama persuade anyone by reverting for a few moments to his old community-organizing, fake black patois and his pseudo-racial intimacy of “brothers”?

And does it work for Obama (remember “when they go low, we go high”) to blast Trump as racist and crude, when Obama jokes that Trump wears diapers— this after previously suggesting at the Democratic convention that Trump suffered from small genitalia?

If this should continue, soon the July 21st coup that removed Biden, along with the Harris pick of Tim Walz, will go down as days of Democrat infamy.

Anything can happen in the next three weeks. But so far, the cures for the Harris slide are far worse than the malady itself.

Fox will give her softball questions and maybe 1-2 hard hitters. It's the follow up that matters.

I don't think these interviewers even know what they're doing. I'd bet 9 out of 10 pat netters could give a better, tougher interview. They do makeup, prep, read a card or prompter and go home. They have no fucking clue what is going on. They get their 6-7 figure salary and go home. Any network.

Harmeet Dhillon is a San Francisco lawyer who’s known Kamala Harris for more than 20 years. Her verdict: Kamala Harris is a criminal. Here are the details.

Huh, Kamala has never had a private sector job, but has lived off on taxpayers her whole career.

Patrick says

Huh, Kamala has never had a private sector job, but has lived off on taxpayers her whole career.

My sister was a prosecutor. Still an attorney. She's a do nothing woman. Not my sister. Kamala. I know the game well. There's zero reason anyone should vote for this woman.

Kamala Harris proposes forgivable loans of up to $20,000 for black entrepreneurs.
