Daniel, the entire world feels better. Don't get me wrong, I have always loved Joe, I would vote for him again, and I know he can do the job. But I am not sure he could win because people are sheep. He did the right thing and he will be remembered as one of the great presidents, ushering us through some really dark times. Trump will be remembered as a wanna-be-hitler-fascist-dictator that was tossed in the dustbin by a better man...and woman. And Joe will be around to advise his VP. After his term he can go hang out with Obama. They can cackle together.

Lori D: You nailed it. Sheep be sheepish. Better to understand their nature than get self-righteous and lose.

I love the idea of Biden lending a hand. I imagine that was part of the deal. His experience and instincts are too valuable to ignore when Harris starts test-driving her skills real-time as the leader.

I LOVE the image of Uncle Joe, Jill, and the Obamas hanging out and seeing their legacies preserved and fulfilled.

As HCR says, it's now up to us.

Don't underestimate the rich fuckwad donors--behind BOTH parties. We're going to have to reckon with the money, dark or otherwise, awash in our politics. When is anyone's guess. Meanwhile...let's GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

LORI  D's avatar

Here is what could happen. The party is energized, willingly volunteering in droves to work for the Harris campaign, and get out the vote. The money is pouring in. The turnout will be great and that will help all the downline candidates. If we VOTE we WIN. We take both the house and the senate and the oval office. Kamala Harris will take care of all this corruption. It's what she does. She will be in office for 8 years, and her VP whoever that is, will take the next 8. If we can do that, there is a chance to actually save our planet. Too much optimism? Idk but feels a whole lot better than the way I felt a couple of weeks ago. It seemed like every day was bad news for Joe. He is truly the hero of this story.

I’m still bruised by the way it was handled, but thinking now:

Cat Cafe's avatar

I mean, he's an incredibly savvy politician, and the transition was handled utterly seamlessly--that has to be him working behind the scenes. The timing was perfect--let the GOP spend their entire convention fighting the wrong person, let them be lulled into hubris and cockiness and nominate a ridiculous VP, the whole thing is political strategy. In any case, it's been handled perfectly and here we are, the voters full of energy and excitement, sending millions in in donations, and only a 100 day campaign to wrestle with. I think we all have hope!

It's great! But get mentally ready for the flood of Bad Faith Propaganda and Dirty Tricks. Kamala is a threat to the oligarchs who pay Donald to be their front man. These are the people who blew Pregozhin out of the sky. Poisoned and killed Navalny. Pushed judges and opponents out of tall windows. Beat Magnitsky to death. Bad Faith ignores rules and laws. They will do anything to protect their ill gotten assets. Roger Stone and Paul Manafort direct the Trump Campaign. Connected to the oligarch network. Fox News and Russia Today TV are in lock step propaganda messaging. See Bill Browder, Anne Applebaum and the Magnitsky Act.

Anyway, I hope that most of Biden's current cabinet stays on their roll and helps ensure Kamala a smooth transition and a successful term. There's only one person who was President Biden's biggest mistake: A.G. Garland. Bye, fuckity, bye Garland. President Harris will replace that self-absorbed "above the fray" dithering fool with a ruthless crime fighter who understands how to read the time.

Absolutely, if you use GOP criteria for DEI. And more good news about that - she's the same ethnicity as Kamala's mother. So you go after Kamala for that, you also go after Vance's wife. I expect Vance to act exactly like Cruz did when his wife was made fun of by Trump. Put his tail between his legs, run away from it and still kiss the ring. He won't stand up for his wife. It's clear she's a Hand Maiden or she wouldn't be married to him. Strong, independent, women with good self esteem, don't marry pigs like Vance or stay married to them once they see how they are.

And the tears keep getting sweeter as the howling GOP jackals keep the horseshit- shoveling at a record pace. These assholes are scared, worried and realize that their orange turd temperamental leader is finally in the shark-infested waters he deserves. Talk about being desperate, a GOP Congressman from Tennessee brought up articles of impeachment against Harris for her alleged handling of the border issue. WTF! How soon these dildos forget that their fuckface leader told them to vote against any border funding so he could run off of this crap. Stay tuned for more of this same old shit.

VP Harris took in about $150 million in campaign donations in 24 hours, maybe the white whale realized backing the orange earwig might be backing the wrong horse's ass.

Also Harris is more connected to the Silicon Valley community than Biden was so they donʻt view her as a threat.

There is absolutely, positively NO REASON for (soon-to-be-President) Kamala Harris to "debate" Liar, Fraud, Con, Convicted-Felon, Traitor, Fascist, Scumbag, Sex-Abuser, Misogynist, Racist, America's Presidential Accident and Disgrace Donald Trump.

We already know who (soon-to-be-President) Harris is, and we already know what her policies would be. We already know that Harris will be a fantastic President..... for everyone in the United States of America.

We already know that Trump is a blatant serial liar, a fraud and a con. We already know that, if he participates in a "debate", he won't actually debate; all he will do is deflect questions, lie his ass off and slur (soon-to-be-President) Harris.

NO DEBATES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please get this message to (soon-to-be-President) Kamala Harris!!!!!

Expand full comment
JOEL's avatar

That said, If (soon-to-be-President) Harris does agree to debate serial liar Trump, then she MUST have certain specific planned retorts to make during the debate, retorts (rebuttals) where Harris, for example, says this:

"Well, Donald, I know that what you said is a lie. In fact, the American People who just heard what you said also know that what you just said is a lie. Your constant lying has divided our country. Your constant lying has exhausted the people of our country. Liar, liar, pants on fire."

Or, for example, this:

"Well, Donald, you will learn in November that the vast majority of Americans, especially the women of our country, detest people like you who are misogynists; you will learn in November that women across the country are not interested, at all, at giving men the power to control decisions about their bodies or their families. Women's healthcare choices must belong to women, not men. Donald, you will also learn in November that the vast majority of Americans are not racist and that they detest racism. Your constant demeaning of me because I am of Black and Indian heritage is disgusting."

She can hold her own with Trump just like Hillary could. Remember when he stalked Hillary around the debate stage. How creepy Wonder how many times he's put his hands on Melania in anger? There's no way that someone that verbally abusive has not physically abused his wives. I remember reading about how Ivana said he raped her when they were married.

not sure it even matters what she says as far as he's concerned -- she's got him spooked already.

I agree completely. The Dems should say that Trump is not capable of what is defined as debate and no one will engage a screaming imbecile who shouts one lie after another. And fuck whoever doesn’t like it because they were never going to vote for a democrat anyway. He doesn’t deserve to be recognized as a debater. He is like a crazy person screaming about the end of the world on some random corner.

No debates with that dip-shit! I said that months ago re: Biden...it wasn't that I thought Joe would blow it...It's that FuckFace can't debate ANYTHING if he can't tell the TRUTH!!!

That's what I would say as well...It's not in the country's best interest to give a pathological liar a platform to spew more lies.

Do interviews, but keep stating that just because the Republicans have nominated Shithead doesn't mean everyone else has to normalize his behavior. THAT'S WRONG!!!
