Let me make this pellucidly clear

You want Weird?
A man whose family told us he didn’t sit his exam to enter the Wharton undergraduate program and paid people to write his papers called the Vice President dumb

A man who told people to drink bleach and shine light to deal with Covid told the planet he was very smart because his uncle went to MIT. His approach to Covid left over a million people dead. That same effin moron called the presumptive democratic nominee dumb.

For the record both her parents earned PhDs. She and her sister earned their degrees as well.
That is not just weird, it is proof that he is stark raving mad and beyond arrogant. That people follow this social misfit is frightening.
STFU fool. You are not in Kamala’s league.

that the masses are supposed to believe. Biden knew this, by telling us in 2019

'Defend The Truth And Defeat The Lies': Biden Moves Past Trump's War On Media

https://www.npr.org/sections/inauguration-day-live-updates/2021/01/20/958523644/defend-the-truth-and-defeat-the-lies-biden-moves-past-trumps-war-on-media

Biden frequently told us in 2019:

"We have to choose hope over fear, unity over division and maybe, most importantly, truth over lies," Biden added.

The MAGAs are a sickening pathetic group that responds to his hints of racism, sexism, anti-elitism, etc. Thank the good Lord that MOST AMERICANS aren't like that, and most do see through him.

Chump's days in politics are growing short, and in a little more than 3 months, they'll be over completely.

still all he can come up with is recycling old playground insults. Low IQ? Seriously? That’s all you got?
The funny thing is, it is all they’ve got. They can’t even pull off the “border czar” angle, because of Trump’s interference with the immigration bill.
No doubt they are frantically digging for dirt, or trying desperately to come up with some damaging lies, but so far they are looking rather like the Keystone Cops.

Trump is a worthless human being. I like to believe I have an empathetic heart, but I have nothing but disgust and loathing for that man. I am ashamed that my first thought when I heard he had been shot at was "is he dead?"... but I have that level of antipathy toward him.

As for his self-acknowledged fans and supporters, they are no longer worth my finite time or energy discussing issues with...better to just make sure we beat then (again) and then work to make their influence and nefarious plots and schemes more difficult. Reforming the SCOTUS is a good start after we elect Vice-President Harris in November!

This mess must absolutely be fixed, or our only choice is to impeach them all.

I'm sorry to imply that Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson deserve to be impeached because they truly do not. It seems the urgency of this huge problem requires expedient action to end this national nightmare. It would take too long to impeach each justice separately and so much damage is already done. Once the entire group is disbanded, maybe it would be possible to re-appoint Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson if they so wish.

Hopefully this drastic step won't be necessary, if Biden has a good plan to get rid of (or neutralize) the worst of them.

It's more of a professional designation as opposed to being a research-oriented Ph.D. - but impressive none the less.

And, obviously, more impressive than the bachelor's degree that Donald, by several accounts, pretty much bought for himself. He's definitely not in Kamala's league - not even close.

Common misconception it is “doctorate.” Extremely common. I have one. So, highest level of education completed drop down is either post-grad or in the case of one site, “Lawyer.”

Tue Jul 30, 2024, 02:50 PM

Women of color have long been a favorite target.
Starting with America's founders.

All these years later and it's still a large and effective part of their playbook.

Rather than just being normal humans that move forward, America's first black president enraged them ... activating, triggering all the racists back to the 1940's.

As a biracial black man I see a break point.

My parents had stories of tension like this several years before the Revolution. But, with the additional fear of Batista's death squads. That is why they fled to the USA in 1955.

Conjuring hope has been made a bit easier since this historic Kamala Harris campaign started.

Great post, btw.

Most of the names he calls her is because he doesn't have the nerve to say the n-word. He wants to, and one day it will slip out. The media will chuckle.
