  7. Mayor Pete talking in PBS, right now. Ā Jeez, I had forgotten he ran. Ā It seems like a million years ago.

  8. Lol, Jamie, Susan Collins being “concerned about the Post Office”. Damn her she’s only concerned about herself and pleasing McConnel and Trump.Ā 

  10. On Air Force One tonight, Donald Trump told the press pool that tomorrow he will pardon a “very, very important figure.” He said it wasn’t Edward Snowden or Michael Flynn.

    Anybody want to make a guess

     

  12. cbsnews:

    The former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security recorded an ad for a political group opposing President Trump, calling the Trump presidency “terrifying.” Miles Taylor, who left DHS in 2019, claims the president wanted to use the agency “for his own political purposes and to fuel his own agenda.”
    “What we saw week in and week out and for me after two and a half years in that administration was terrifying,” said Taylor in a video posted Monday on Twitter by by Republican Voters Against Trump. “We would go in to try to talk to them about a pressing national security, cyber attack, terrorism threat. He wasn’t interested in those things to him. They weren’t priorities.”
    Taylor said in the video that he overheard Mr. Trump tell the Federal Emergency Management Agency to cut off funding to aid California as it was being ravaged by wildfires.
    “He told us to stop giving money to people whose houses had burned down from a wildfire because he was so rageful that people in the state of California didn’t support him and that politically it wasn’t a base,” Taylor said. He also criticized Mr. Trump’s policy toward families crossing the southern border into the U.S., saying the president wanted to “have a deliberate policy of ripping children away from their parents to show those parents that they shouldn’t come to the border in the first place.”
    “A lot of the time, the things he wanted to do not only were impossible, but in many cases illegal. He didn’t want us to tell them it was illegal anymore because he knew that there were, and these were his words, he knew that he had magical authorities,” Taylor continued. He called Mr. Trump “unfocused” and “undisciplined.”
    […]
    Taylor’s op-ed and the ad by Republican Voters Against Trump come as theĀ Democratic National ConventionĀ begins its first day of events on Monday. Mr. Trump is alsoĀ holding campaign eventsĀ in Minnesota and Wisconsin on Monday.

  13. jamie, the only person the Rump thinks is “very very important” is himself.Ā 

    maybe he’ll preemptively pardon himself and then abdicate.Ā  ride off, far far off, in to the sunset hopefully.

  20. Yep, 56 the first I actually tried to watch.
    in 52 our tv was new so we all were glued to whatever was on it.

  25. There is no DNC TV in my house
    So this is probably wasted money for the Democrats.If you can’t get on broadcast tv with your message , you are screwed
    Jack

  26. Wow! The racist, Russians knew Dems were using the preamble yesterday, so there is just a bunch of horrible, horrible stuff with the hashtag for we, the people. Ā Ā 
    tRUMP and his cronies have crapped all over US Constitution, so why not the preamble, as well.
     
    Of course, the orange asshat would pull a little pardoning stunt to try to pull focus. I hope he has a brain hemorrhage and dies. Oh, wait. Ā That would require that he have a brain.

  34. Pogo just looking at broadcast tv.Ā  PBS was too busy punditing because who wants to listen to the little people They justĀ  played a little of it and now they are back to punditing.Ā Ā 
    Ha, now we understand why Trump could get elected in the first place.
    So lets see do I want to watch,Ā  3’s company or Gomer Pyle
    Jack

  35. So Donald Trump’s bullshit covid pressers get more coverage than the Democratic convention.
    OK
    I’m out of here, I’ll drop back in and let you now how Gomer is doing
    Jack

  41. Believing in tRUMP is a pre-existing condition; listening to him can get you killed. Ā Powerful.
    PBS is doing OK. Ā Not too much chatter.Ā 

  56. Pogo, yep, grew up in UCLA (Upper Corner of Lower Alabama – WilcoxĀ  County); Cumberland Law School grad of 1980, live in New Smyrna Beach, Fl, and have a son named Craig in honor of our beloved Craig Crawford!!
     

  58. Hah, Wilcox County. I dated a girl from Camden in 1975 and had a bud a year or 2 later from Pine Hill. He loved to joke about being from the Big City of Pine Hill.Ā Whereā€™d you college?

  59. Still in love with Amy

    Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar: ā€œDonald Trump may hate the post office, but heā€™s still going to have to send them a change of address card come January.”

  60. This video of former nomination rivals talking up Joe is awesome! Best was Corey Booker telling story that after hammering Biden during debate in the commercial break Joe “put his arm on my shoulder and said ‘you’ve got good ideas'”

  61. Need a Biden ad with Cory Booker saying ā€œweā€™ve got one shot and that time is now.ā€ Ā 

  66. Michelle- no wonder Dā€™ump hates her. Facts, class, compassion, and intelligence. Things Dā€™umbass doesnā€™t understand.Ā 

  72. Michelle Obama, Dem convention 2020: “Going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty. Going high means taking the harder path. It means scraping and clawing our way to that mountaintop. Going high means standing fierce against hatred. … Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. It is what it is.”

  75. caught one local news
    Did a good job of summing up the night, very Democratic positive.
    N ext station lead with chiefs News
    then brief coverage of convention, then trump and then the gun toting St Louis couple.
    Trump got more and better coverage.
    Jack

  77. I think the interesting thing about Ms Obama, you know there were times when it wasĀ  mama talking right down to wagging her finger.Ā  and when Mama talks you had better pay attention.
    It was a well written speech and very well delivered.
    BTW, We usually talk about white people and their dog whistles,Ā  her speech was loaded with dog whistles that only blacks would hear.Ā  AsĀ  I said, It was interesting.Ā 
    Jack

  78. And a (slight) pivot – banner at WaPo:
     

    UNC-Chapel Hill pivots to remote teaching after coronavirus spreads among students during first week of class

    Now who could have predicted COVID could be a problem on a college campus?

  79. Poobah, her role and goal was to attack Dā€™ump in her inimitable way. She barely mentioned Joe. And this is NOT a criticism.Ā 

  81. You gonna vote for the party that pre-tapes their convention segments so they donā€™t infect their friends and colleagues with deadly plague or will you vote for the party that forces their staff to not use masks and then they, themselves catch that same deadly plague?

  86. Chill, Mr. C. Ā  Donā€™t make Republican arguments for them.
     
    Conventions are about rallying the base. Ā Just buy-in for a few days.

  87. 6 months in, iā€™m Covid-free. Ā Who you going to listen to? Ā Me, or Louis ā€œCoronavirusā€ Gohmert? Ā How ā€˜bout me, or Rand ā€œCoronavirusā€ Paul? Ā 
     
    Listen to me, if you want to live.

  88. Oh, wait you could listen to Herman Cain.
    Ā 
    No, nevermind, he died from coronavirus he caught from trump. Whoops.

  90. Hey, i realize, that despite its tribulations, youā€™re still enjoying this magical existence we call ā€œlifeā€, but the NASDAQ is at unprecedented highs, so fuck you and die. Ā Vote Trump.

  91. Your life is worth much less than a number on a computer screen. Ā Vote Trump- Make Numbers On Computer Screens High Again.
     
    So what, youā€™ll be dead? Ā That number on a computer screen will be so high!
