Kamala Harris didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree. The Democratic candidate has led a full and shockingly normal life. From her birth in a year that makes her a very normal age to be president now, to a classic college job at McDonald’s, to her time in the senate barely getting noticed for anything, Kamala is breaking with recent presidential tradition by being totally f**king normal. #DailyShow

Let’s vote for adults,” the webpage reads. “Try being joyful instead of an asshole.” After just a few seconds on the webpage, users are automatically redirected to KamalaHarris.com, the official website for Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign.

excerpts from Jack Smith appeals dismissal of Trump classified-documents indictment – The Washington Post The 60-page filing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit marks the latest salvo in what has become a contentious relationship between the special counsel and Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump and confirmed just before he left office. In measured language, Smith insisted Cannon’s dismissal of Trump’s indictment trampled on decades of legal precedent and Justice Department practice regarding the appointment of special or independent prosecutors. Cannon has already been reversed by the appeals court in this case — at a much earlier stage of the classified-documents investigation. After FBI agents retrieved scores of classified documents from Trump’s home, Cannon ruled against the Justice Department and imposed an outside legal expert to review some of the evidence. That move was roundly rejected and reversed by the 11th Circuit. Smith is now… Read more »
He took his dog to a dog park. He took photos with other dogs at the dog park. Which he does all the time. He loves dogs, not just his own. These people are sick.
Make America “healthy” by taking away health insurance, allowing pharmaceutical companies to charge more, killing Social Security and Medicare do you have to work until you drop? No thanks. This brought to you by the guy who suggested folks inject bleach.
That looks like the face of an alien inhabiting a human body, and is now attempting to smile for the first time.
ps – I’ve started getting weird ads, and it’s not from going down any MAGAt rabbit hole. Yesterday, I got an ad for a first-aid kit that contained Ivermectin. WTF?

Taunting Trump: Harris campaign’s sneer tactics
It’s another dimension of Vice President Harris’ “happy warrior” approach to a campaign that’s sure to get uglier this fall.
The other side: When I asked the Trump campaign about Harris’ mocking posts, communications director Steven Cheung replied:
“Acting like whiny schoolchildren is not a political strategy, but it is a coping mechanism for the Kamala campaign who knows they have a weak candidate incapable of being authentic. If anyone thinks that using emojis is some cutting-edge message technique, they are severely out of touch with reality and the seriousness of the challenges Americans face after a disastrous Harris-Biden administration.”
“You burn an American flag, you go to jail for one year. Gotta do it. You gotta do it. They say, ‘sir, that’s unconstitutional.’ Well make it constitutional.”
But if you beat police officers with an American flag pole you get a pardon and a gala in your honor at Mar-A-Lago.
In a new interview, RFK Jr. tells Tucker Carlson that he’s been asked to join Trump’s transition team.
“We’re working on policy issues together. I’ve been asked to go onto the transition team…and help pick the people who will be running the government. I’m looking forward to that.”

While dealers like Deusdona’s rival Felix mined their merchandise from places like Ravenna, others made their bones haggling for dead Christians in Al-Andalus. Roughly 300 years later, thieves from all over the Mediterranean world hit the jackpot due to the crusader-led Sack of Constantinople in 1204. However, the cult of the saints’suffered major public relations scandals in the late 15th century as a result of the ongoing criticisms of ecclesiastical materialism by Christian thinkers such as Martin Luther and Erasmus of Rotterdam. In response to the Protestant Reformation, the Council of Trent (1545-1563) reaffirmed the veneration of saints. Even so, many extravagant reliquaries happened to find their way into private cabinets of curiosities during the Age of Reason.
Knew a guy who escaped Czechoslovakia with his family just before tanks rolled in 1968. His mom was pregnant with his little brother. They were going to Austria to visit family (no intention of returning), and the border guard didn’t want to let them all go. His dad said they just wouldn’t go then, because he wanted to be with his wife. They didn’t push and they were all allowed to go to Austria, and then to Canada where his little brother was born, and eventually to the US.
speaking of transition teams Presidential transition planning has begun in earnest, but Trump and Harris are already behind (local10.com) WASHINGTON – The Biden administration offered federal resources to Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for presidential transition planning for the first time Tuesday, with experts suggesting both are behind in preparing for their potential administrations. While transitions kick into high gear after Election Day, when a president-elect must begin selecting and vetting about 4,000 federal political appointees, success depends on the infrastructure built during the pre-election period, including identifying agency review teams and beginning the background check process for national security staff. Both Vice President Harris and former President Trump started the process this month, months later than prior transitions. Harris was elevated to the top of the Democratic ticket just five weeks ago after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid, and she had to first redirect his political operation before laying the groundwork for the transition. It is… Read more »
Trump told the Daily Mail last week that he would decline access to traditional pre-Election Day intelligence briefings, saying he was worried about being accused of leaking classified information.
can’t imagine that citizen (not a prez) trump is qualified to get classified info given his felony and questionable financial status.
https://www.texastribune.org/2024/08/19/texas-republican-latino-hispanic-voters/ “It’s not just South Texas. Republicans are making gains with Latino voters in big cities, too.” “Republicans have logged historic gains in South Texas the last couple of elections, making political battlegrounds out of border communities that voted solidly Democratic for years. That sea change has largely overshadowed the more subtle rightward shift of Latino voters in cities and suburbs away from the border.” “The threat of eroding Latino support in urban areas could spell even bigger trouble for Democrats’ abiding hopes of turning Texas blue, because far more Latino voters live in these areas than in South Texas. While Democrats may not lose precincts like Cavazos’ anytime soon, they will continue to be locked out of statewide elections if Republicans are able to continue peeling off nearly 40% of the vote there.” “In his reelection bid, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican, is pouring $4.4 million… Read more »

Pumpkin not pleased… Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Aug 27, 2024, 5:39 PM In an effort to resurrect a “dead” Witch Hunt in Washington, D.C., in an act of desperation, and in order to save face, the illegally appointed “Special Counsel” Deranged Jack Smith, has brought a ridiculous new Indictment against me, which has all the problems of the old Indictment, and should be dismissed IMMEDIATELY. His Florida Document Hoax Case has been completely dismissed. This is merely an attempt to INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION, and distract the American People from the catastrophes Kamala Harris has inflicted on our Nation, like the Border Invasion, Migrant Crime, Rampant Inflation, the threat of World War III, and more. For them to do this immediately after our Supreme Court Victory on Immunity and more, is shocking. I’ve also been informed by my attorneys, that you’re not even allowed to bring cases literally right before… Read more »
“Two members of Donald Trump’s campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.”
“A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members are authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.”
“When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source.”
Still pissed over the cemetery desecration. He’s no more than a grave robber.
All the remains should be respected and honored. Disrespect of the Confederate dead is what started the whole daughters of the confederacy movement, raising money for monuments and all.
Another ad I’ve been seeing is from the “America PAC” which is from Elon Musk. Urging everyone to register to vote, mail-in-vote, vote early etc….so that we can make this election a landslide victory for Trump.

More of him, Team Trump 👍
The folded arms tic is fun, too, wonder what psychopathy that tips off 🤔
You just know the felon does not like “disabilities” so he will not be able to tolerate listening to rfkjr speaking voice for more than a minute.
transitioning is code for “out to pasture.” He just doesn’t want them running wild.
”Transition Team” is a safe place to keep both of them since that will end up being nowhere.
