I'm happier we'll have the US Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines on our side. They all took a sworn oath to protect and defend the US Constitution.“I'm afraid if we lose this one, it's going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved. It's the greatest experiment in the history of mankind, and if we come down to a civil war, I'm glad we got people like … Bikers for Trump on our side,”
The above was said at a rally for Trump and Vance by state of Ohio Republican senator George Lang.
Those videos and the labels were made by democrats. The Coconut Queen was a reference to Kamala's mother. The Brat reference is a new social media meme that is "taking the internet by storm". It was embraced by her campaign and it was officially rolled out on Monday. Both are being encouraged by the Harris campaign as part of its outreach to "young voters". I saw it on CNN this morning. You can't make this stuff up.The Republicans cannot help themselves, they have to label and denigrate, Not the way to enlarge the tent. Don't forget the saying "hell has no fury like a woman scorned".
My only thoughts about the "Brat Meme" and the "Coconut Queen" videos were 1) it will not help her to appeal to voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, Georgia, or Arizona; 2) it does not send a message of comfort to our allies abroad; and 3) it does not intimidate our foreign enemies.Yep, the Trump version of the Republican Party is like a second-grade bully: small-minded, afraid of knowledge and quick to insult literally anyone who is different. And meanwhile, they want to post the Ten Commandments everywhere, despite adhering to almost none of them. The irony.
You need to watch more CNN:The Republicans cannot help themselves, they have to label and denigrate, Not the way to enlarge the tent. Don't forget the saying "hell has no fury like a woman scorned".

“She wrapped up the nomination on Monday night by winning pledges from a majority of the delegates who at next month's party convention will determine the nominee, the campaign said.”The polls are of registered democrats, not of the pledged delegates. Those delegates are pledged to Biden on the first ballet. That means that he has 90 % of the delegates that have to vote for him on the first round. Biden has said he is open to a convention fight by telling his naysayers to try it at the convention. It is a game of chicken... Biden knows he is in the driver's seat. This is where it gets fun.... I blame this on my Political Science degree from UR.
Here is Poltico's take
"The president would come to the convention with 3,896 “pledged” delegates, chosen in primaries and caucuses where he faced no real opposition, and representing well over 90 percent of the elected delegates. That does not include some 700 automatic “superdelegates” — members of the House and Senate, governors, state party chairs and DNC members. These superdelegates are not permitted to vote on the first ballot unless it’s determined that one candidate has an absolute majority of pledged delegates, which Biden will obviously have.
Well, so what? Even if every superdelegate refused to vote for Biden, those pledged delegates for the president would presumably nominate him overwhelmingly.
Except … those pledged delegates are not actually required to vote for him.....
But four years later (in 1984), Democrats changed their mind. Recognizing the possibility that some event — an illness, a scandal — might cause a change of heart, Democrats instead adopted Rule 13.j which says: “Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.” That rule is still in effect. And it gives these elected delegates more than enough running room to drop their support for Biden.
So much for what the pundits said. It's her show. Let's see how she does.“She wrapped up the nomination on Monday night by winning pledges from a majority of the delegates who at next month's party convention will determine the nominee, the campaign said.”
Just because you have apparently never had any fun in your life, you shouldn't hold that against her.I did not think that anyone could make Donald Trump look presidential. I was wrong.
C'mon, don't you know Presidents only look Presidential when they do a lame-ass dance to "YMCA" or "Macho Man?" He looks like someone from Lambda Chi.Just because you have apparently never had any fun in your life, you shouldn't hold that against her.
LMAO!C'mon, don't you know Presidents only look Presidential when they do a lame-ass dance to "YMCA" or "Macho Man?" He looks like someone from Lambda Chi.
Wow, just wow.
Polo shirts, khaki pants, blue blazers, Sperry Topsiders,, and no socks. Those guys?C'mon, don't you know Presidents only look Presidential when they do a lame-ass dance to "YMCA" or "Macho Man?" He looks like someone from Lambda Chi.
Yes, those guys... no socks, even in the winter. Between December and March, they had the highest incidence of frostbite on campus.Polo shirts, khaki pants, blue blazers, Sperry Topsiders,, and no socks. Those guys?
You truly are the voice of reason. Donald Trump was within an inch of losing his life. He literally took a bullet for democracy. Yet the hateful rhetoric continues. It is a sad day for this country, when one presidential candidate gets shot and the other loses his position as leader of the country.This is why you can't reason with hard-core partisans. These two mistook Democrat videos supporting their candidate as hateful republican rhetoric, just because they thought the other side put it out.
Kamala recently said she "took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type." Don't expect anyone in response to this to say "The Democrats cannot help themselves, they have to label and denigrate, Not the way to enlarge the tent." or "the Democratic Party is like a second-grade bully: small-minded, afraid of knowledge and quick to insult literally anyone who is different"
Look, all of us have made the same mistake in our lives. Time for some introspection and to cut down on our own hateful rhetoric instead of constantly spewing hate at our opponents, the supposed bad guys. These politicians are just a reflection of the people in our country.

Fake blood? As a VN vet, shrapnel kills.Sounds like he didn’t even get shot, according to the FBI, but of course lied about it and said he did.
Agreed, the guy was trying to kill him and that's bad. But he went on and on during his acceptance speech about getting shot with a bullet, and in reality, he was hit with shrapnel. Still bad, but also not accurate to say he was shot with a bullet, that's all I'm saying.Don't understand this comment nor your previous post when I jokingly responded with was it stigmata. The experts haven't clearly said what clipped his ear. Clearly, it was something with the intent to injure or kill him. Isn't that enough?
Understand you disdain him, but how is he to know what hit him? All indications, so far, is it was a bullet or the result of a bullet. That's enough for me.

I’ll play along, I rarely watch news. His doc said the wound was from a bullet. Where has definitive info been provided the wound was not from a bullet?Agreed, the guy was trying to kill him and that's bad.
