A parody of the theme song from Cheers (Everybody Knows Your Name), an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from September 30, 1982, to May 20, 1993, for 11 seasons and 275 episodes – kind of popular. The parody lyrics were written by David Cohen; Performance and Video Editing by Don Caron. Executive Producers Don Caron and Jerry Pender
David Horsey op ed for The Seattle Times At Arlington, Trump earns a medal of dishonor Former President Donald Trump’s campaign staff got into an altercation with an official at Arlington National Cemetery as they attempted to take campaign photos in an area where recent military dead are buried — a section where partisan political photography is prohibited. Trump, meanwhile, was laying a wreath in a ceremony honoring the 13 service members who were killed in a suicide bombing when American forces were frantically exiting Kabul in 2021. It is worth remembering that this gesture was being made by the ex-commander-in-chief who denigrated John McCain’s years of tortuous captivity in North Vietnam, who skipped out on a tribute to American war dead in France and who, according to credible witnesses, referred to soldiers as “suckers and losers.” Chances are, Trump would have never been at the Arlington ceremony if it had not… Read more »
about joy and joy spoilers Cartoonist Jeff Darcy’s op ed yesterday at Gus Walz a winner: Darcy cartoon – cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio — Top highlight for me of the DNC convention was 17 year-old Gus Walz standing up and openly shedding tears of love, joy and pride for his father Tim Walz as the Governor of Minnesota, teacher and coach gave his speech accepting the nomination to be Vice President of the United States. Through his tears, Gus stood and pointed to the podium saying “That’s my Dad!” as Tim Walz told the millions watching “Hope, Gus and Gwen, you are my entire world, and I love you !” It was quickly reported that Gus Walz is Neurodivergent and has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and a Non-Verbal Learning Disorder. Did not know that and don’t know why it even matters because it shouldn’t and didn’t to me. Showing just how sickened parts… Read more »
JDouche is becoming more Dumbasslike by the day. WaPo. (…) A reporter at the campaign event asked Vance about an altercation involving Trump campaign staff that took place at Arlington National Cemetery, which the former president visited Monday to mark the third anniversary of the Islamic State bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members during the evacuation from Afghanistan. Federal law prohibits election-related activities at military cemeteries and as The Washington Post previously reported, a cemetery employee tried to enforce the rules as provided to her by blocking Trump’s team from bringing cameras to the graves of U.S. service members killed in recent years, according to a senior defense official and another person briefed on the incident. A larger male campaign aide insisted the camera was allowed and pushed past the cemetery employee. Vance said at his campaign stop in Erie, Pa., on Wednesday that the press was “creating… Read more »
Reuters poll: –The 4 percentage point advantage among registered voters was wider than a 1 point lead Harris held over the former president in a late July Reuters/Ipsos poll.
— Harris leads Trump by 13 points among women and Hispanic voters — 73% of Democratic voters more excited after Harris entered race
A change that happened in 1975 that is shown today is when the military went volunteer force. Also it was the thirty year anniversary of WWII. 1976 was my first visit to the VA medical system, I remember sitting in the waiting rooms and seeing a couple of WWI veterans, a lot of WWII, Korea and Vietnam veterans. Today we are nearing the fifty anniversary of those years. The waiting rooms are full of Vietnam era veterans and a few from the Iraq wars. The Iraq wars, including Afghanistan, did not have the sheer quantity of personnel involved, which shows in the medical centers. We went from a country that had about twenty-five percent active duty and veterans to around seven percent. Your neighbor might not know anyone who is active duty or a veteran. The orange idiot carries his hate from the earlier era, he might not know… Read more »
Trump Reposts Crude Sexual Remark About Harris on Truth Social
NYT: “Though the former president has a history of making crass insults about opponents, the reposts signal his willingness to continue to shatter longstanding political norms.”
For the disgusting details I don’t care to share here, go to free link:
i’ll go to my grave on which i hope trump doesn’t stand and smile maintaining that the Afghanistan withdrawal was a logistical masterstroke, not without tragedy, which is why we got the fuck out.
Real leaders make hard choices, fake leaders contrive photo ops.
Bink, that’d be great. My hunch is it stays close but around third week of October the bottom drops out for Trump. Still, worth remembering a 4pt lead is OK considering that’s what Biden got in 2020 to win 305 electoral college votes.
Meanwhile I’m sticking to me earlier map, my prediction for 320 Harris votes in the Electoral College (270 needed)
If any tombstone used by Trump isn’t one of the families that invited him, I hope the family sues the hell out of him for desecrating their loved one grave.
Donald Trump lacks any and all decency or reverence for the dead and their grieving families. He utterly lacks the human capacity to feel anything.
While my heart goes out to the bereaved military mother who blames Joe Biden for “murdering” her child, her grief process is not served by aligning with a cemetery desecrator, and her words and actions contribute to the pain of other mothers.
Jonathan Lemire said today that “Democrats must win Georgia and Republicans must win Pennsylvania, sort of…” while the general sentiment on the show was that if Harris wins Georgia, she wins the election. Trump is trying to mend the fence he established between him and Governor Kemp. Who knows how that will go. That article features the tired old theme I heard all through my career job and also other jobs I had along the way including the US Army. When someone succeeds on merit and is promoted the naysayers and haters always trotted out “It ain’t who you know, it’s who … ….” . Harris will soar over this degradation-soaked hate speech. Vance is appearing more and more like he’s worse, much than Dan Quayle’s potato-potatoe flub years ago. His attack on childless women is generating so much hate towards him and exposing him as such an imbecile that… Read more »
USA Today/Suffolk University post convention poll, released Thursday morning, found Harris surging ahead of her GOP rival with 48 percent compared to his 43 percent
Also, people respect you! Ain’t nobody carrying my groceries for me. You got this 🫡 🇺🇸
Like, the residents of a state where service is so respected that people volunteer to carry a veteran’s groceries might not want to elect a guy who stands and smiles on the graves of the fallen. Let’s get Ohio! 🦅
Folks have chaos fatigue. Those who, somehow, are still undecided or who “aren’t political” are fed up with the MAGAt hate and nonsense. As for the folks with the radio show making fun of a young man being emotionally proud of his dad, Proft has been removed from Envision’s board…and I wonder if the sponsors for the show will change to MAGAty businesses?
Democrat governor, unexpected electoral rebuke of anti-choice zealots, can’t think of a 3rd reason, let’s get Kansas! 🇺🇸
ok pardon me, let’s gooooo, have an inspiring day! Like, you do the inspiring! 🫡
(i realize one may think me being silly or unrealistic, but observe i’m not being so absurd as to call for Texas or Florida. i do think there are gains to be made in the “heartland” if sound messaging and strong contrasts can be effectively employed)
Buncha polling averages from Phil Bump at WaPo.
What jumps out at me is that with the exception of Georgia and North Carolina, in each of the charts Harris is above 45 and SFB is below 45.
This is what Narcissistic Collapse looks like, and it’s only going to get worse.
Washington Post: In just a period of 24 hours “Donald Trump amplified a vulgar joke about Vice President Kamala Harris performing a sex act. He falsely accused her of a staging a coup to secure the Democratic nomination and faulted her without evidence for a security lapse that enabled a rogue gunman to try to assassinate him. He shared a manipulated online image of Bill Gates in an orange jumpsuit and a call for Barack Obama to face a “military tribunal.” He promoted explicit tributes to the QAnon conspiracy theory. He hawked digital trading cards in an online infomercial along with pieces of his debate night suit. (“People are calling it the knockout suit.”) His campaign feuded publicly with Arlington National Cemetery over their visit.”
It would have been totally righteous for the Arlington officer to “push back” and defend the ground in which the honored dead lay.
“The Army is defending an Arlington National Cemetery official involved in an incident with the Trump campaign this week at the national memorial, saying the woman was “abruptly pushed aside” and “unfairly attacked” by the Trump staffers and its surrogates.”
The unidentified female staff member has declined to press charges due to concern over retaliation, and the Army, which runs national cemeteries, said in a statement Thursday morning that it considers the matter closed.
Seems the Army isn’t amused at the Dumbass team and their (typical) lies about the incident. Someone needs to ask the family if they’ve been provided the video.
Ooh, and fuck JDouche.
Cremated remains of Vietnam War veterans are eligible for inurnment in the columbarium at Arlington National Cemetery:
I have been thinking of having this service when my time comes, since I’ll be 75 soon. This latest Trump episode there made me furious. Even as the family of the deceased invited him to come, the thumbs-up-smiling Trump was highly off limits. The columbarium area is a beautiful resting place for veterans. I only took a virtual tour so far.
I know maggers with recently departed loved ones interred in Arlington. I’m keeping my ears open for any murmurs from among them. Sadly, I’m not expecting any minds changed.
