Now that she's the official nominee, is anyone else excited about Kamala Harris's chances?

That may be. However, I do agree with (almost) every point he makes here (I'm of the view that people are complicated. Sometimes people have bad characters but are right in some areas, other people are compassionate and agreeable but have no principles, so I don't mind agreeing with someone like R. F. Kennedy Jr).
I think he's basically summing up everything that's so wrong with the modern Left, which Harris unfortunately epitomises. Namely, being pro-war, Big State, pro-censorship, with a propensity to lock even vulnerable people up for minor crimes. And a complete unwillingness to engage with those they disagree with. I find Harris worryingly ignorant on a number of crucial issues (such as Ukraine), and the way she speaks about such complex subjects is infantile and simplistic.

RFK is a noted crackpot: a serial sexual predator whose wife committed suicide after reading his diaries detailing his multiple sexual encounters. His entire family has disowned him. He doesn’t speak for anyone but himself and his statement about the Harris-Walz future administration is absurd. Biden Harris brought an end to the Afghanistan forever war started by the Republicans. Neither she nor walz can be tarred as neocons—that group went with the republicans years ago. The accusation is just phenomenally out of date.

Particularly as every other member of his family has come out against him. Also highly amusing as he's approached both Trump and Harris about potential cabinet appointments.

And have your read any of the recent media about him? Bonkers. John Oliver has a very good segment on him, if you're interested.

This is quite striking

And? The battlefield is not a school or a mall or a cinema, which is where those guns usually get used. He's right to ban them.

Interresting on the boring bit....

I've seen a video and exactly what he was saying about Biden, he is now saying about Kamala. His reportoire is severely lacking.

Poking for the bump

Totally!!!💯

Yes!!! Go Kamala 🙌🙌🙌🙌

I think this is true. A few years ago he was a novelty, and ‘entertaining’, now it’s old and stale. You can only repeat the same old show so many times. He’s boring, the nicknames for opponents, the self aggrandising, he has nothing else.

Clock how little genuine impact him even being shot made. It was headline news for a couple of days. This would be unthinkable a few years ago, however, he’s become a victim of the type of politics he popularised. It’s all shock value stuff, making people doubt what they see and hear, peddling conspiracies. It was no wonder many people doubted what happened then got bored after 48 hours.

How bloody embarrassing!!

Another Trump supporter, inspired to commit electoral crimes as a result of his lies, looks very likely to be heading to jail after a guilty verdict today.

His narcissim, coupled with the gullibility of many of his supporters, has ruined so many lives.

Live by the insult, die by the insult. Trump appears to be going down in the polls because people don’t like his vibe. Too bad. So sad

Apart from his bonkers MAGAts... I think everyone is bored with his modus operandi. Insult, demean, argue, lie, hold pathetic news conferences with a chosen few, same old 'jokes' and insults about anyone and everyone at Rallies. Rinse and repeat.
His fans used to go and see him as it was a novelty, now it's just same old same old and beyond boring.

How Fox News still big him up god alone knows

They’ll say they’re not fan girls, willing to overlook his vast inadequacies and unsuitability for the job. They’ll cloak
their support in the focus of the serious business of the economy.

Its weird to watch how easily trump’s fan girls catapult his bullshit even here on a UK site. But given the smashing headlines for Harris-Walz as a team and the evidence of people literally dancing in the aisles at their rallies all these cries of “She is so obviously awful” are starting to remind me if the last days of Baghdad Bob.

Live by the insult, die by the insult. Trump appears to be going down in the polls because people don’t like his vibe. Too bad. So sad.

Kamala Harris seems very strong to me.
Donald Fart seems an embarrassment.

I bloody love her. How anyone can think that the misogynist adulterous racist criminal is somehow a better choice is simply beyond me and almost everyone I know.
I cant wait to see her wipe the floor with him. He simply cannot bear the idea of being beaten by a woman - and a non-white woman at that. Bring it on!!

Seriously. Although I wouldn't assume a trump supporter understands irony or meaning of the word.

Not to mention that trump claimed to have bone spurs to escape the draft. Him making fun of anybody's military record is laughable and this was brought up on numerous occasions in his first run, his idiot supporters don't seem to remember any of this though.

Republicans love claiming that they love the veterans and military yet all of their policies cut funding for veterans.

I suppose it's like Brexit voters complaining about how hard it is to now do business with Europe. Absolute morons.

HC went for it twice and failed, that's just not viable. Plus never admitted her own mistakes during her campaign, which were pretty significant. The Clintons have huge baggage now too.

😂

Yes, sadly, it's not true.

Also, I'm fairly sure that in Minnesotan, "weird" means something that would take 4 "fucks" in New York City.

(A friend swears that when she lived in the Twin Cities and was working as a waitress, she heard an older woman refer to ketchup as "spicy.")

To be fair, this "it was in the first edition" thing isn't true either.

The picture of him "in drag", released today, looks like it might be legitimate though. Lay-D Vance, perhaps?
