David Horsey’s op ed accompanying the above linked ‘toon in 8/23/24 The Seattle Times:
As an exercise in stagecraft, the Democratic National Convention has been nearly flawless.
A roll call of the states accompanied by a song playlist that is currently being downloaded by voters all over the country; a lineup of masterful orators — from Michelle Obama and Tim Walz to Oprah Winfrey and Hakeem Jeffries — that makes the speakers at the Republican convention look like a clutch of kooks ranting in the corner of a bar; striking personal testimonies from women who nearly died because of state anti-abortion laws and appeals by brave Republicans alienated from their party because it has become a dangerous personality cult — there was all that and more, especially energy, joy and hope.
The messaging was sharp, especially regarding the GOP nominee. Former President Donald Trump was repeatedly portrayed as the ridiculous, petulant, whining, incoherent person that he is; an old TV performer whose act has grown stale and who is obsessed with crowd sizes, as Barack Obama pointed out with a mocking hand gesture during his speech to the delegates.
The Democrats have been blessed with a contrast between the candidates that no one had to manufacture. On one side is Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor, district attorney and attorney general; on the other is Trump, a convicted felon whose rap sheet includes sexual abuse, a bogus college scam, a fake charity and a boatload of other illegal business practices.
The absurdity and recklessness of returning Trump to the White House should be clear to every American, but it is not. It will be up to Harris to present the case. While Trump slumps into campaign events to spend a couple of hours talking about his personal grievances and feelings of persecution, Harris can announce herself to packed stadiums of supporters the way all California prosecutors do at the beginning of court proceedings: “Kamala Harris, for the people.”
Given the self-serving, narcissistic nature of her opponent, that is a pretty good way for Harris to present herself to those voters who are just tuning in to the election.

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

her campaign seems everywhere all the time these days. very clever:
If you type in NeverWalz.com in your browser, the page that appears probably doesn’t look like what you expected from a webpage donning a slogan against Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota and the current vice-presidential candidate for the Democratic party.
“Trump is a convicted felon. 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.
The slogan “Never Walz” is indeed anti-Walz, and was seen recently plastered on a booth set up by a group against the vice-presidential nominee, Action 4 Liberty, at the Minnesota state fair. The group was seen handing out flyers and selling merchandise that criticizes Walz.
But, it appears that the group did not secure a website domain for the “Never Walz” slogan, leaving it available for someone else to buy and use.
As of Monday, the website domain NeverWalz.com is being used to criticize former president Donald Trump and then quickly redirects viewers to the Harris campaign website.
The website is being shared on social media by supporters of Walz and Harris.
“They forgot to buy the domain,” one X user said posting the link. “Click link for a good laugh.”
Action 4 Liberty did not immediately return a request for comment.

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 asking that same court to again intercede to put the case back on track.
[…]
Cannon’s decision “conflicts with an otherwise unbroken course of decisions, including by the Supreme Court … and it is at odds with widespread and long-standing appointment practices in the Department of Justice and across the government,” Smith wrote.
Trump’s reply to the appeal is due in about 30 days. His campaign issued a statement Monday saying the higher court should uphold Cannon’s ruling.
[…]
Cannon’s decision is only binding in the South Florida district in which she serves. It does not affect Smith’s separate prosecution of Trump in D.C. on election interference charges. That case has been on hold since last year and may be significantly narrowed by a Supreme Court decision that former presidents have broad criminal immunity for official actions. A hearing is scheduled next week for the judge in that case, Tanya S. Chutkan, to begin deciding which parts of the indictment can move forward.

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.”
Every accusation is a confession. I know you are Steven, but what am I? Ha!
ps – Charlie Kirk, thirstiest nutjob around.
Trump yesterday:
“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.
But if you fly it upside-down, you’re a patriot?
He tells those made-up stories so people believe that others respect him rather than talk, leak, and scheme behind his back 😆
it’s like psychoanalyzing a 10 year old 😆
(emojis for Cheung 👍)

Delightful.
In a new interview, RFK Jr. tells Tucker Carlson that he’s been asked to join Trump’s transition team.

Selling “relics” is more evidence it’s a cult.
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.
This is the most frightening LP ad I’ve seen.

Tulsi and Bobby jr should get some tips from Chris about what to expect from transition teaming with Donald.
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 not clear why Trump, who sewed up the nomination months ago, did not start sooner.
Max Stier, the president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, said planning to take office in the modern era has tended to begin in the late spring.
“It is possible to try and catch up, but the reality is that both candidates have a lot to do,” he said.
Tuesday is the congressionally mandated date for the General Services Administration to make space available for Trump and Harris, three business days after the second nominating convention. The office space is just blocks from the White House, with even more federal resources set to flow to the winner after Election Day. But nominees usually start the initial planning for their potential administrations soon after they lock up the nomination, even before they begin receiving federal support.
Harris, if she wins, may choose to keep some political appointees from the Biden administration — potentially helping her avoid messy confirmation fights if Republicans take control of the Senate. But significant change is inevitable, as she will want to put her own stamp on government. And many long-serving Biden administration officials are likely seeking to exit for other opportunities regardless of the outcome in November.
Trump, meanwhile, is likely to try to avoid mistakes of his 2016 transition, when he shelved months of planning by a group led by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. That left Trump and his team, many of whom had never served in government, unprepared after Election Day.
Stier said Trump’s 2016 effort set a low bar for transition efforts in the modern era, followed by George H.W. Bush’s 1988 effort as the then-vice president prepared to take over from President Ronald Reagan. He said there can be a special challenge in negotiating a same-party handoff, including misplaced expectations about continuity between presidents and the risk of hubris in those who’ve served in government recently assuming more significant roles.
Trump formally stood up his transition team earlier this month to be led by former Small Business Administrator Linda McMahon and billionaire Howard Lutnick.
Harris has asked Yohannes Abraham, the ambassador to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the executive director of the Biden-Harris 2020 transition, to lead her planning for the White House.
Abraham is set to leave his position in the coming days to assume the role. Covington & Burling, LLP, which assisted Harris in vetting her vice presidential pick, will provide legal counsel to the transition organization.
According to a person familiar with the planning, Harris’ transition team won’t make any personnel decisions before the election, nor will it develop policy — functions that will remain with Harris’ campaign and official office.
Trump’s team, meanwhile, has not committed to accepting the federal support. 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.
“We look forward to this notification and will reply when we have evaluated what is being offered, said Brian Hughes, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign.
Trump has also brought former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. onto his transition team, Hughes confirmed Tuesday.
GSA is required by law to make available federal office space, IT support and other resources to transition teams starting Tuesday, but only once it has entered into memoranda of understanding with representatives for each nominee, which Congress requires the agency to do “to the maximum extent practicable,” by Sept. 1. A GSA spokesperson confirmed that the agency had made its offer to the two candidates Tuesday.

can’t imagine that citizen (not a prez) trump is qualified to get classified info given his felony and questionable financial status.
“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 into an ad campaign targeting Latino voters, a majority of which is going toward Spanish-language advertising. Cruz’s first spot aimed at Latinos — titled “El Valiente Senador,” or “The Brave Senator” in English — portrays him as a fighter battling high taxes and working to keep Texas “free and safe.”
“Prosecutors have not dropped any of the four charges that they initially brought against the former president. However, the newly retooled indictment has carved out some of Trump’s alleged conduct, including allegations about the attempts to use the Justice Department to promote his false claims of election fraud.”

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 an Election – A direct assault on Democracy! This is an unprecedented abuse of the Criminal Justice System. The case has to do with “Conspiracy to Obstruct the 2020 Presidential Election,” when they are the ones that did the obstructing of the Election, not me. They cheated on the Election, and they go after me for “cheating on the Election.” Interestingly, this comes at the exact same time as Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook has admitted to concealing massive amounts of information, such as Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell, which is a direct acknowledgment that the 2020 Presidential Election was MANIPULATED and RIGGED by the DOJ. What they are doing now is the single greatest sabotage of our Democracy in History.
This travesty is now on Comrade Kamala Harris, who is actively pushing it, rather than immediately calling for its dismissal, as should be done. This is for Third World Countries and Banana Republics, not for the U.S.A.! As Jack Smith knows, the whole case should be thrown out and dismissed on Presidential Immunity grounds, as already ruled unequivocally by the U.S. Supreme Court. Smith rewrote the exact same case in an effort to circumvent the Supreme Court Decision. The people of our Country will see what is happening with all of these corrupt lawsuits against me, and will REJECT them by giving me an overwhelming Victory on November 5th for President of the United States.
No Presidential Candidate, or Candidate for any Office, has ever had to put up with all of this Lawfare and Weaponization directly out of the Office of a Political Opponent. They’ve Weaponized local D.A.s and Attorney Generals, and anybody else that will listen, to Interfere with the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election – Never been done before. This is now Kamala’s Weaponized System against her Political Opponent. All of these Scams will fail, just as Deranged Jack’s Hoax in Florida has been fully dismissed, and we will win the Most Important Election in the History of our Country on November 5th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Hey, Adolf! When you lose, the indictments won’t magically ally go away. You will need to flee. Pack your bags, dude.
Tedious and boring repetition. Too many words for my non-reader maggers. Who among them reads this shit, let alone takes it seriously?
I guess they will hear it read aloud to them when fox recites it verbatim.
OldDon, same shit, different day. They sell that on tee shirts on the boardwalk at the beach.
Economy off the table.
Trump’s 15-pt advantage under Biden is GONE
He’s making a lot of fuss over that immunity thing, which President Biden holds at the moment.
“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.”
Hysterical Tim Walz interview, with some good advice about gutters..
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.
There was a clear view of the ear in that disgusting photo op. No scar. Weird.
NEW THREAD
Walz keeps missing an obvious answer to the repeated question re combat. “I goofed on the preposition. I should have said weapons OF war and said IN war”. That would go with his wife saying he can be clumsy when speaking.

I guess they will hear it read aloud to them when fox recites it verbatim.
OldDon, same shit, different day. They sell that on tee shirts on the boardwalk at the beach.
Economy off the table.
Trump’s 15-pt advantage under Biden is GONE
He’s making a lot of fuss over that immunity thing, which President Biden holds at the moment.

“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.”
Hysterical Tim Walz interview, with some good advice about gutters..

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.
These are some of the ads I’m seeing right now in Michigan.https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/unseen-california-anti-harris-political-ads-blanket-swing-states/
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.
There was a clear view of the ear in that disgusting photo op. No scar. Weird.
NEW THREAD
Walz keeps missing an obvious answer to the repeated question re combat. “I goofed on the preposition. I should have said weapons OF war and said IN war”. That would go with his wife saying he can be clumsy when speaking.
