I get the feeling that people in the Harris campaign know what they're doing.

Harris campaign hits Trump over Fox News interview: ‘This guy shouldn’t be president ever again’
Vice President Harris’s campaign hit at former President Trump’s interview on Fox News on Thursday, questioning his age and mental stamina.

The campaign released a “Statement on a 78-Year-Old Criminal’s Fox News Appearance,” knocking Trump for his age in an effort to turn the tables after President Biden, 81, dropped his bid over questions about if he was fit to serve another four years in office.

“After watching Fox News this morning we only have one question, is Donald Trump ok?” the campaign said, adding that a takeaway that Americans must have from the interview is if “Trump is old and quite weird” and that “this guy shouldn’t be president ever again.”

I have to admit, I find Trump's Kermit The Frog impression amusing. It is better than his normal blowhard voice.

He is one of the most inauthentic people I have ever seen. Such a craven display of wanting power at all costs. America’s Hitler has found his Goebbels.Also, god knows what he had to do for Peter Thiel. He doesn’t seem hot enough.
Thiel should tell Vance to shave off the beard (even though he likes it on him...):

Yes, JD Vance’s Beard Matters. Here’s Why.

When Biden announced he was dropping out of the race, I freaked out. I thought we were done for, that TCF would coast in for an easy victory. But the speed and thoroughness of the Party uniting and coalescing around Kamala Harris surprised the hell out of me, pleasantly so. I think we really have a great chance of winning this, and even picking up House and Senate seats along the way! I am even more optimistic now than I was when Biden was running!

IMHO the one and only reason why Vance was chosen is that he is absolutely loyal to Trump but not the country. Vance would have overturned the election in 2020, which Pence refused to do so.

I've felt the same. After the debate, there still was no way I'd vote for anyone but Biden. But the flood of news anchors and even respected Dem leaders calling for him to step down threw me into a week-long funk. I was sure that screwed us out of the WH. I started seriously considering a move to Canada. The world started tilting on its edge, out of balance and anxiety-inducing.

I tried to give up politics for a few days, but I'm too much of a news junkie for that to work. I settled into a morose, negative silence, only glancing at headlines to decide if I really wanted to know more.

Then Kamala happened. I'm frankly shocked at the turn in my own mood since then! Kamala may not win (god forbid) but I feel the electricity and excitement now on the Left. We have to be something other than Progressives or Mainstream, we only have to vote Trump off the ballot resoundingly.

My most fervent wish right now is that the election is the biggest landslide in history. If that's too much to ask for, I certainly would settle for a solid "W" with KH on top.

Stuff we didn't see coming and would do better without: Former first lady Melania Trump has a memoir coming out this fall, “Melania,” billed as “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence.”

That thing, when I find several copies in the garbage bin of course, will come in handy for the fireplace this winter to keep me warm. I think listening to it on audible would give me brain damage stat.

If she really wanted to move the merch she'd name the book "I Married a Little Mushroom."

You shouldn't burn paper - especially paper from a book - in a fire place. Too dangerous.

I wouldn't donate them, either. Also too dangerous. Could give someone brain damage if they accidently read them.

I'd suggest recycling. Or check this Pinterest thread for ideas on repurposing them.

A lot of them will get trashed, even if sold out due to bulk buys from those currying or repaying favors. Most will either be handed out "gratis" by employers to each of their employees, none of whom would dare to bin them at the office. The remainder will be returned to the publisher with their covers torn off for a partial refund, after becoming deeply discounted.

But I'm telling this to people who already know that, for the sake of the lurkers.

You know a news story is rigorous and well researched when the headline refers to "sources" for the scoop.

“Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.”
Yeah, um. I don't think a real source with the scoop on Obama's views would call Harris the "border czar." Obama would not call her that, because she's not. And he would know that.

You have been posting a lot of right wing sources lately...
Oh, that doofus. There's nothing "lately" about it -- he's a conduit for MAGAT agitprop.

Despite many protests to the contrary, he's had a certain mushroom in a solid liplock for ages. I've had him on Ignore for about as long.
