Oh my. That is glorious. He's being roasted by his own cult.

The list of speakers at the DNC has been announced if anyone's interested.

I know this makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist but the far left takes a lot of its cues from Russia and Kamala Harris is on the Senate Intelligence Committee. I think a lot of the propaganda aimed at her is because of that.

I'm seeing that she's one of those "Kamala is a cop" types. Hard pass.

I want the same thing. This has me hopeful. She only won her last primary by 900 votes. My concern is how long it will take to get results.

It's just the beginning. We're going to find out so many terrible things about this guy. You know it will probably be something like kiddie porn.

It's weird how Trump and Barr don't realize that sending these Federal troops into cities makes them even more hated. This is not a winning message for suburban voters.

Yeah, yesterday was all kinds of fun. I haven't read the affidavit but I remember a lot of the shenanigans around that nuclear power plant bailout. It was kind of infuriating to watch the news conference and realize just how coordinated the whole campaign was.

I think Fauci and Ronald Klain will have that covered. I have no doubt that Biden has a team identified and ready to go.

One of the few positives of this hellscape is watching Trump humiliate his toadies.

It's time to start telling yourself he'll be gone in six months. That bonkers presser yesterday showed that nothing he's trying to do is working.

You're right about it being quaint but it's what you have to say to win votes in the midwest. That said, I think that the COVID crisis has exposed some serious weaknesses with our supply chain and that going forward we need to look at how to bring some manufacturing back here. If Trump wasn't such a defective idiot he would've invoked the Defense Protection Act to produce everything from masks to hand sanitizer which would've been a great way to create jobs during this nightmare. Also, I really want Joe to go back to his "basement." Seeing him out here doing events terrifies me.

I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see this push to re-open schools turn into a nationwide teacher's strike because all Trump ever does is [!@#$%^&*] up and shoot himself in the foot.

Twitter pundits have been wrong about the race from the beginning. The problem is that they are bored and Kanye provides a shiny object to chase.

This is one of the reasons I really wish activists would do away with the tactic of blocking roads, even though in this case the police closed the road. I say this as someone who has done it. I took part in a roadblock over the killing of Tamir Rice. It's a bad tactic that puts people at needless risk. Not just the protesters but innocent others if an ambulance or fire truck can't get through. If that happens the whole cause loses moral authority.

I couldn't decide whether to put this in the COVID thread or this one.

As expected, the far left has gone spooling off into a fever dream of conspiracy theories and attacks over Charles Booker's loss to Amy McGrath. These folks just keep screwing themselves.

He is an idiot but the people around him aren't. Every time bad news drops about Trump, out comes more racism. We've been seeing this pattern for years. Frankly, I assume that Stephen Miller is the one behind it. All he has to do is show Trump a video like that one and tell him it will be a great way to own the libs. The press falls for it every single time. Trump wants the conversation to be about his racism because it animates his base. It's clear that Trump is going to spend the entire election doubling down on racism. The press needs to stop chasing the shiny object and focus on things like the COVID response (Wasn't it just a week ago Trump admitted he slowed the testing down?) and his cognitive and neurological decline because the latter is going to keep getting worse.

When Trump started throwing around the word "treason" with regard to Obama and Black Lives Matter, I said that I suspected something big was about to drop because Trump always projects. Always. And here we are.

Right? It's amazing how easy we make it for other countries to attack us. All this talk about how brilliant these tiktok kids are. Sorry but if they were really that brilliant they wouldn't be on tiktok to begin with.

I wish Hughley a swift and smooth recovering but that video pisses me off. Looking at all those people in that small club, almost nobody social distancing or wearing masks infuriates me. We're still losing 1,000 people/day and the majority of the infected are people of color. DL did everyone in that room a disservice by even doing that show and now Zanie's Comedy Club is closed because of this so what good did it do?

Agreed. The story should be on the crappy attendance. I think of those idiots who started lining up days ahead of time. All for the privilege of sitting in a mostly empty arena filled with anti-social dead-enders. What gets me about so many of the videos is how tired and bored so many of them seemed. That video of Trump returning to the White House looking like freeze dried hell feels like a turning point.

The Lincoln Project's stated goal is to pull away 4-6 percent of Trump voters. If not to vote for Biden then at least to sit home. I don't trust them either but they aren't hurting us right now so I'll take it.

And if that means killing a few thousand people so be it. Ugh. What an utterly twisted kind of thinking.

I think they are ready for it. Joe has been running a really good campaign mainly because he's put together an excellent team. Symone Sanders has been one of his biggest assets and she knows how the Bernieverse works because she's from there.
