Well, Asheville is my longtime hometown. It’s a 🔵 in the mountains, well known for its great beers, hiking and other touristy things, surrounded by a sea of red. The city got stiffed by his campaign the first time so they got smart this time and made them pay ahead, as you said. I despise the man and wish he’d crawl off somewhere and fade to black(his favorite color).
Jeff, thanks for the details on Ashville, NC's smart move to get paid up front from this deadbeat who owes lots of cities for venues, police overtime, etc. I've tweeted Fixed Noise to ask why reporter didn't press for a reply & let him lie more.
Not any longer unfortunately. I miss my mountains but that part of the country got too expensive for a retiree so I “invaded” Panamá in Central America. It’s much more reasonable. I grew up across the street from Asheville High(Lee Edward’s, class 1964).
Roseanne Roseanadanna was a SNL character, played by Gilda Radner back in 1977 or so, she was a dingy New Yorker who was always getting mail from NJ which as a NYer she would always say cattily "You ask good questions for a person from NJ."
"The name Hackensack, New Jersey comes from the Achkinheshcky language and means "mouth of a river". The Lenni Lenape Native Americans originally lived in the area and called it "Ackingsah-sack"." Take a hint from Jeff and use Google when YOU DON'T "FKING" KNOW!
"The name Hackensack, New Jersey comes from the Achkinheshcky language and means "mouth of a river". The Lenni Lenape Native Americans originally lived in the area and called it "Ackingsah-sack"." Google search.
I was born Middletown Connecticut, incorporated in 1651, although some cities have British names,most still have some connections to their Native American roots.
Hell yes, I sure care, & I wish the msm would cover what is going on in Ukraine much more than they do.
The daily genocide in Gaza has fallen off their radar too.
If it weren’t for Zeteo & Ayman Moylhedin I wouldn’t know about the sexual abuse torture of a male Palestinian prisoner by Israeli prison guards. It’s stomach churning & I’m ashamed that the US just signed an agreement for another $20B in arms sales to them.
Holy shit, that was hilarious. 😂 Has anybody checked to see if he's leaking spinal fluid? He has mastered the art of self sabotage. Agent Orange is doing great and is VP, who apparently is still upset about having mommy sex dreams, is doing great also. 👍
I am excited about Kamala and the Coach's campaign, but I am still worried about the Bad Billionaire Bros bucks in this campaign. The momentum is with Harris and Walz going into the Democratic convention in my home town, but it is early days and there are issues that will be harped on in commercials that will shake things up. We need to be strong and help the momentum along.
The Democrats need to be on the offense not defense. They should be dumping money in ads. They need to stay ahead of the game. Especially, red states. They need to be present in these communities. They sucked in Florida. They gave up.
Solidly Red States, even if they could be purple, are not going to get the monies needed to turn swing states, just as the Blue States may not get this attention either. Dollars go where they are most needed. I hope Florida's Democratic party does well, and gives people reason to think it too can be purple. One way to do that is to get rid of the horrid DeSantis. He is a bad governor and a bad person.
But especially when the campaign has approximately a kajillion dollars, and doesn't even put forth an effort in red states, we'll never get them back. FFS, iowa Idaho & Indiana went for Obama in 2008.
Iowa and Indiana, but not Idaho. However, Missouri was close enough that Obama was entitled to an automatic recount if he asked for it (but didn't because a. recounts rarely change the outcome, and b. it would have just been pointless running up the score).
Threehundred or even 400 million is far from a kajillion dollars. The campaign that has a lot of Bad Billionaire Bros bucks, as well as other types of billionaires is the Trump campaign. Remember he is going to cut their taxes and let the rest of us pay for them the rest of our lives. Did you hear that Musk has pledged 45 mil a month. That is not what the Harris Walz campaign has and that has its advantages. Would you want your candidate beholden to Musk. My home state is Illinois, which is Blue, it is going to get attention because my city is hosting the DNC. But, if it were not, I would not expect them to come to town other than to fundraise, because we are True Blue! Is that true of Florida? If not, then with no chance of winning, and not much money coming from the state, it is a less efficient, effective way to win. And a huge amount of energy being expended to rally the Swing states, which Florida is not considered to be, how much can you expect them to do everything. If there are signs that that is changing then we will probably see them going to Iowa, Idaho and Indiana. However, Florida, the state of hanging chads and the stolen election from Gore is not a democratic favorite I am afraid. Of course, I am not the campaign manager, so perhaps if things look good in swing states necessary to get enough electoral votes to win look locked up, then they might swing to states that do not have any hope, just to back up the Blue Candidates.
Texas sees your silly town names and raises: Marfa (where the "alien" lights are, but it's also a good place to party; they've even got a Prada lol), Cut and Shoot, Hoop and Holler -- maybe they meant "Whoop and Holler" but didn't know how to spell it? sounds like a party town, but I think I'll stick to Austin, Houston, & Marfa. There's Dime Box, Muleshoe, Bug Tussle, Uncertain, Tarzan, Nada, Frognot, Fluvanna, Trout, Sunrise, Sunset, Sundown... lots to mock here...
They don't seem to think the vote matters, or else they would be working overtime. They aren't planning to honor the results if he loses, it doesn't matter what the margin is or the reaction if he's declared the winner despite evidence to the contrary. They're jonesing for civil war.
This is Jim Stewartson’s explanation for the possible constitutional crisis if the corrupt Supreme Court is involved with the certification of the election. It’s scary.
The Electoral Count Act, which was passed by both the House and the Senate in December 2022, prevents anyone, including state electors, from casting their vote for whichever candidate did not get enough votes. It also prevents Congress from refusing to certify the vote. All of this talk about TRump stealing the election is stirring up unnecessary fear. We just need to vote en masse for the Harris/Walz ticket and soundly defeat TRump.
It used to seem that only John Roberts on the conservative side had a sense of the gravity and loftiness of SCOTUS, but that to me has gone out the window after Dobbs and now with the whole immunity bullshit. This version of SCOTUS will be damned for a long as America exists as a blatantly corrupt and dictatorial body, functioning as a legislative arm for the small minority who want dominion over all citizens.
Wait until the fuckface states have their monies for welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, unemployment,etc. eliminated if LDFF is elected. It will be to late then you dumb mf’ers.
This has gotten lost in all the fear mongering. The Harris- Walz ticket has calmed me down a bit, but the news about the certification denial scheme has me spooked again.
What happens when an election official refuses to certify is that the judge orders him to and throws him in jail for contempt. This trick doesn't actually work.
It is not unnecessary fear. The Electoral Count Act does nothing about the person(s) in charge of elections in county XYZ from refusing to certify their ballots, thereby preventing the Secy of State from completing the certification of the state’s final vote count.
It is a fact that the Republicans have put into place at least 70 election deniers in place to administer the elections in 70 counties scattered over the 7 swing states. If they all decide to refuse to certify their ballots, it’s going to be an enormous mess, multiple legal battles, probably ending up at the Supreme Court. Do you trust those 6 corrupt liars to do the right thing?
I don’t. Fortunately Marc Elias is on the case with his group Democracy Docket, & I’ve heard that the Biden admin has attorneys ready to fight back, so at least they aren’t clueless.
No matter what, it’s going to be a mess, & it’s highly likely that there will be violence.

OMG Susan, that's pretty terrifying,and definitely a distinct possibility,the MAGA movement is obviously fading significantly,and obviously also the Supreme Cult are colluding with the insurrectionists,and have declared themselves above the law. They are not, Roberts didn't appear for Congress,and obvious act of outright defiance,Alito,Thomas and Gorsuch declare Congress has no power to regulate them, Gorsuch made thinly veiled threat to the President,of course on Fox News, another co-conspirator,not only maybe lock them out of the court,defund them,(Whatcha ya gonna do about that Gorsuch?)the 1807 Insurrection Act may be necessary. Democrats have been asleep at the wheel for decades,and another failure of imagination that it can't happen here.
I try not to think about the weeks after Nov 5. Joe Biden is highly principled MN, but SCOTUS may have handed him the power to overcome the deniers/fraudsters. I hope there is a foolproof way to deal with election fraud, riots.
I completely agree Bruce, our elected Democrats have been asleep at the wheel for decades, & when not asleep, they’ve failed to meet the underhanded tactics of Mitch McConnell with the appropriate amount of pushback. I still can’t believe that with a 50/50 split in the Senate, that they allowed ACB to get confirmed!! One or two Democrats had to have voted yes on her.
Whomever it was should be voted out
When we regain control of the House & keep the Senate, they should definitely cut the budget for the court drastically until they come to realize that they are not all powerful. Allowing them to continue to run amok is just unacceptable.
Moscow Mitch suspended the filibuster for court nominations,he just made up rules when it suited him,like no nominations in election years for Dems,but anything goes for Repubs,Mitch is a disgrace,started his political career with funding from the tobacco industry.
The Supreme Court has no business trying legislate morality,it was done with Prohibition,it was repealed because it was so unpopular it was unenforceable,and just made the majority of people criminals.
that's what is screamin' sounds like and looks like....
and I read about nothing, absolutely nothing about any preemptive movements brewing behind the scenes to circumvent this colossal scale of Trump corruption via FBI, CIA, Pentagon, DOJ, U.S. Marshals, Secret Service, and wait for it, Attorney General?
Nothing.
Crickets.
They may be working on it, perhaps, but why be non-transparent about it?..
There is nothing to hide or be secret about decimating the biggest republican corruption scandal in the history of America.
Poor tactics to advise your enemy how you're going to counter them. Why give away an advantage, compromise your intelligence and allow them to circumvent you?
Marc Elias & Democracy Docket are hard at work preparing to fight them in court. Don’t know what our DOJ with Garland at it’s head is doing?? I hope they are preparing.
That may be, but We the People have to stand up and protest if that happens. In the meantime, get out the vote. I love Jeff's videos. Here is another one that caught my eye while watching one of his. It is David Shuster talking about what Walz brings to the ticket. I like it too. https://youtu.be/1t3EZtsBbhE?si=N0VFk1nraj2t8HPZ

Actually - this bothers me… why can’t we win by one vote with a hanging Chad like anybody else? A blue tsunami would be great, but thinking that’s the only way we can win-for-sure makes this election ‘advantage R’ imo…
To me it proves that we are still under the icky cloud of Roy Cohn's influence / shenanigans - and LDFF is (somewhat) masterfully messing with the court system as instructed...

Yeah, that’s not not true. The Democrats have multiple legal teams in place to combat these efforts to overturn the vote. Also Marc Elias’ Democracy Docket is working on multiple fronts as well.
Also, the one thing that is different this time is that Biden is President and Kamala is the one that certifies the election in the House. I think that may be important at some point...it's not like we have to worry about whether Pence will or won't accept fake electors like last time!
apologies to Hackensack, New Jersey. I have friends and family who live there! it's not my fault that it's a town with an extremely mockable name

I think the Chuckle Hut is in Fort Lee, New Jersey, where all of Roseanne Roseannadanna's viewer mail came from.
Roseanne Barr SNL may be toxic and stupid, but even Evangelical Christians, who have overlap with Christian Nationalists considered Trump's base, are seeking the light of Kamala and the Coach. https://charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/wait-evangelicals-for-harris

JUST IGNORE THE SUPREME COURT!
Truly. Even if they're heavily armed, there are only five of them. A blue tsunami will show them how irrelevant they will be.
It has been done before.
The Supreme Court has no business trying legislate morality,it was done with Prohibition,it was repealed because it was so unpopular it was unenforceable,and just made the majority of people criminals.
Biden simply should have perpetrators arrested and sent to GITMO....don't leave office
If they try the same nonsense again,the Capital will be well-defended this time.
They should put up signs like around Area 51 in Nevada: Deadly Force Authorized Beyond This Point. Fair warning, assholes.

Exactly
No.
We have to vote in such huge numbers that the results are incontrovertible.
With respect, the size of the margin will make no difference to those who choose to ignore verifiable reality (= virtually all MAGAts).

But having the Really Big Margin is a requisite first step.
Actually - this bothers me… why can’t we win by one vote with a hanging Chad like anybody else? A blue tsunami would be great, but thinking that’s the only way we can win-for-sure makes this election ‘advantage R’ imo…

Yeah, that’s not not true. The Democrats have multiple legal teams in place to combat these efforts to overturn the vote. Also Marc Elias’ Democracy Docket is working on multiple fronts as well.

This is the contribution page. I have been contributing for close to a year. They will have teams of lawyers in a swing states in November.
Thanks for the link. Year after year, Elias and staff tirelessly slog in legal trenches. Glad finally to snap out of it and offer my support.
Just donated.
I've had Dem Docket on a monthly for MANY years. A solid investment in a livable future.
Donated
Same here,not certifying election results is a crime,and Marc Elias is going to be all over it.
Donated and bought a cool "Democracy is on the Docket" sweatshirt!
