Members Xanthe Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 This helicopter flight lawsuit threat is so bizarre. I gather from CNN that Trump considers that it proves that Willie Brown told him "terrible things" about Kamala but the idea that Brown's denial enrages him so much that he is threatening to sue people is plain weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 For ONCE, the NYT did the right thing: they asked for the proof. And all Trump could do was repeat their request back to them in a sing-songy way, like the petulant bully that he has always been. Now, will the NYT finally realize how much contempt their man actually has for them and admit that he's a narcissist and a damn liar? Or will they once again absolve him through weasel words and "both sides"-speak, because 1) they're afraid of him and of being sued; and 2) they don't want him to cut off access? My money's on the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 Nothing like seeing a white man try and turn Black people against each other to make you feel glad to be alive! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 I streamed that Arizona rally. Wow, 20,000 happy people! And they arrived 4 HOURS before the event. Seems we Americans like feeling hopeful and happy. Who knew?! (But I still HATE the way Joe was shoved aside to make it happen.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 And of course, NO MAJOR NEWS OUTLET carried the AZ rally, but CNN is carrying Trump's rally in Bozeman, Montana. I truly look forward to the day when outlets like CNN and the NYT are put out of business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 (edited) The media is actually picking up on both his absence from the campaign and the whole helicopter fantasy, including the usual noxious voices from the Times, etc. So this focus on his cognitive ability may start to stick with Joe out of the race, as disgusting as the double standard has been.

Members DRW50 Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 (edited) You're right. You can see how nothing she would have said mattered based on the interview with the two hecklers: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/08/kamala-harris-hecklers-protest-detroit-rally-interview-gaza-michigan/ I do appreciate her trying to say something beyond "do you want Trump to win," because even though that's the truth, it plays right into the hands of these narcissists. But ultimately they are impossible to reach, so the best to hope for is winning without them. Edited August 10, 2024 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 Still, she's handled it well in two ways that plays both angles and wins her the support she needs, both in showing steel for malcontents (which the Beltway, who hates anything vaguely liberal, will particularly love) and for opening dialogue. The unreachable will never be reached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Xanthe Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 Apparently Nate Holden says he was with Donald Trump in a helicopter crash and no one mentioned Kamala Harris. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/09/trump-plane-crash-california-00173487 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted August 10, 2024 Members Share Posted August 10, 2024 (edited) Interview with someone who was one of Walz' high school social studies students. Walz taught his students to think and discuss issues, including culture and genocide. Fascinating and hopeful read. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/08/08/tim-walz-was-my-teacher-what-i-learned-00173212 Archived copy: https://archive.is/TpACT Edited August 10, 2024 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
