Trump, the Most Hated Man in America!

A man at Trump’s rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, stormed into the press area as the former president spoke Friday but was surrounded by police and sheriff’s deputies and was eventually subdued with a Taser.

Jackass Despicable Vance roundup;

“In a December 2023 speech, JD Vance defended a notorious white nationalist convicted over 2016 election disinformation, canvassed the possibility of breaking up tech companies, attacked diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts and talked about a social media ‘censorship regime’ that ‘came from the deep state on some level’.”

Consensus on the Momentous CNN Interview on my TL seems to be:

- Harris is not a leftist
- Harris is not a fool
- The press still kind of seem to be fools
- Trump never has faced and never will face anything like this kind of scrutiny from an interviewer, ever

I said here a couple days ago that the question wasn't why Trump staffers assaulted a staffer at Arlington Cemetery who got in their way. It was why the people who assaulted that staffer weren't arrested.

Well, now we know. The staffer in question -- who is a woman, because of course Trump's goons would assault a woman -- declined to press charges, out of fear of further harassment. And the Army, which manages Arlington, decided it was easier to hang her out to dry than it would be to stand up for one of their own people.

I don't blame the staffer. But the Army's decision is pathetic.

“If the [#Trump] #campaign feels the need to defend their team’s actions — which include #bullying & physically pushing out of the way [#assault] a longtime #PublicServant & member of the team at #Arlington working to protect the sanctity of the sacred spaces — then that’s on them,” one #Defense ofcl said. “The rules were made clear to participants, & these two chose to disregard those rules.

#Defense ofcls were concerned about the event Mon because #Republicans have frequently used the…[Afghanistan exit], as a #political cudgel.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump instantly ignited new controversy when he said recently that he may deliver his nomination acceptance speech during the Republican National Convention at the White House.

Republican Donald Trump's economic proposals would increase federal deficits by almost five times more over the next decade than those of Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, per two reports by the Penn Wharton Budget Model.

A friend just gave me this wonderful analogy about elections:

“Elections aren’t an uber taking you to exactly where you want to go, they’re a train carrying a mass of people to the station nearest your destination.

You have to board the train that’s going in the same direction you want to go, even if it doesn’t take you to the street, or even the town you’re wanting to reach.”

The Speech the DNC Wouldn’t Allow on Stage

by Georgia state Representative Ruwa Romman

"What I’m about to read to you is, frankly, very sanitized. It was meant to have an opportunity to represent a Palestinian voice.

"We came here to offer a gift, an opportunity to bridge the gap between our party & our voters... so many people wearing their pins, their keffiyehs, their flags. It’s very unfortunate."
