tbf, she doesn't force anyone to play along. it's their choice. Take this example:
Rumors were swirling that Biden would drop out on Sunday. Donors were sweating buckets and organized a Zoom meeting on Friday to discuss their next step after decision to freeze 90M in funds. DNC sent Harris to reassure the donors that everything was fine. What she said was this. I will try to paraphrase the best I can. "I want to share a secret with you. I have a secret. I know in my heart of hearts that Joe Biden is winning this with me, we are winning this". Now, forget the secret nonsense as if she was talking to children. She was lying, flat out lying. And they said after the meeting that they were not convicned, that they were totally underwhelmed and that their time was wasted. Come Sunday, Biden dropped out and what did they do? Wired 300M in funds to Harris ticket in less than 72 hours! These people were lied into their face and talked down as if they were children and yet they chose to part with 300M so that the person who lied to them and talked down to them as if they were children could win.
Everyone take note on whether a leftist can actually answer a basic question:
YES or NO: Is Comrade Kamala demanding gun confiscation?
Unconstitutional ‘Red Flag’ GUN CONFISCATION, Mandatory Gun ‘buy backs’ as though the left somehow ‘owned’ your guns before you took possession…
Control of private property with ‘Universal’ background checks – leading to registration to facilitate gun CONFISCATION. An Assault weapon ban – more gun confiscation.
So-called ‘safe storage’ laws to facilitate… you guessed it.. GUN CONFISCATION.
It’s Obama, Soros, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton’s the WEF. They don’t want Trump because they cannot buy him! He wants term limits. That means the end of the forever Congress and Senate to gather wealth for themselves. Most don’t work for the people!
Remember the Lincoln Project? That if nothing else proves how easy it is to pry hard-earned (or government-provided?) money from liberals. Look at the millions if not BILLIONS in book sales from anyone denigrating Trump. If I had half a brain, I'd just write a book talking about one time I met (though I never have) Mr. Trump and lay out ten thousand fictional things he told me. If it made Trump look awful, it would fly off of the shelves. I keep wondering when Cassidy Hutchinson will face perjury charges or be sued for proceeds from her book retelling her lies.
While Harris' delivery was strong, she gave what was perhaps the most dishonest, most propagandistic speech that I have ever heard. Sasha detailed some of the lies that she told, but for me, more startling was what was left out: no real mention of "climate change" and the Green New Deal; no talk of "systemic racism"; no talk of EV mandates and ending fossil fuels; no talk of pediatric gender transition surgery; no talk of expanding Title IX to include men who claim to be women; not even any talk about imposing price controls, which she proposed just last week. It was a systematic omission of virtually the entire Democrat agenda with the exception of abortion, which was (as usual) euphemistically referred to as "reproductive health care." Their entire Left wing program was disguised under a bundle of patriotic, go-America rhetoric that you know most people in that hall don't really believe in. All to pull the wool over the eyes of those watching on TV.
Question: if Donald Trump is so horrible, why do the Dems find it necessary to lie about him so much? One would think they could make their case against him without having to make so much stuff up.
Some time ago, I am not sure when, the Democrats slipped the cog of reasonable disagreement in a system of representative government. They don't want the bother which attends normal electoral politics. They want one party rule. It isn't without significance that Tiananmen Tim has his lifelong enrapturement with Maoism.
And Tim's Maoism is as vulnerable to attack as the fine British fighter of the early 1960s, Henry Cooper, was, because for all his skill, poor Henry was a bleeder. There is a hypothesis going around that Obama wanted Walz because he thinks Walz is a guarantor of Harris' defeat. Why would he want that? I haven't seen a reason proffered, but it does occur to me that for all the disdain he arouses in us, the man has been President of the United States, is in his mysterious way a patriot, and knows that a Harris presidency would leave us so badly f*cked, we'd never be remotely the same again. Added to this is the probability that he doesn't want his daughters to have to live in a Harris America. A rising tide may lift all boats, but a Titanic takes most of its passengers with it.
Whatever the truth or not of any of my speculation, this is such a winnable election. Pence was deadweight to Trump in terms of a natural Trump constituency, the millions of white left - behinds throughout the Midwest. There could not have been a vice presidential nominee better equipped to appeal to them than J. D. Vance.
The one presidential debate Her Highness has agreed to will be fascinating and nerve wracking. Trump was at his best against Biden. If he can scrounge up the same level of self discipline when he faces Harris, he should do fine.
I'm still cybersemiliterate at best, and have no idea how to post a link in a Substack Comments section, so the best I can do is to urge you to look around for "The Two Minutes of Hate" video which was run repeatedly at the DNC. A friend sent me a link from Zero Hedge. It shocked me. I'm 72, barely survived a bombing, and in the last twenty years, have survived the efforts of several other psychopaths to kill me off. I'm not, in short, a naif. But "The Two Minutes of Hate" video shocked me. These people aren't just perverse, they're evil ( twenty - five abortions so far in the van parked outside the convention ), and must be stopped, whatever it takes, including bribery, ballot theft, and, as necessary, discreetly practiced kidnapping.
The Chicago way. Is Vance weird? Very well, then, Walz is creepy. Trump is Trump. As for Kamala, well, she's vacuous. And she has the highest turnover of employees of any federal officeholder. Four years ago, the Democrats got the fifty one intelligence officers who declared that the Hunter Biden laptop was a fake, which it was not. We must be able to find at least a hundred former Harris employees who will attest to her bullying, her general, dehumanizing treatment of them, and the blunt fact that she is just a first class bi - uh, termagant.
To post a link you just copy it and then paste it here. Touch the blinking cursor and it will ask if you want to copy or select. Choose one of those and then paste it here the same way.
Alas, I have only an Android phone. I've never had a computer and haven't wanted one. Here's what to put into a search engine: zero hedge two minutes of hate
I’ve never had an Android phone but it must be pretty much the same. Do a search on bing or Google and ask how to do it on your phone. I just finished watching RFK endorsing Trump and joining his team. Astonishingly good news. Watch it as soon as possible. It is tremendously damning of the demonic democrats.
It's wonderful, and sensational politics, coming less than twenty - four hours after the close of the follies in Chicago. It's like a fantastic, unexpected play in a football game which shifts the momentum dramatically.
My only impression of Walz was that he was the pathetic sap who had done nothing when Minneapolis was being burned. But he was the first I heard use the word, “weird,” in an attempt to frame Vance, and when in his little rollout in Philadelphia, he made the sleazy reference to the sofa lie, I became convinced that the man is a sociopath. They always understand the power of words to destroy. Well, damn it, these people are brigands, and I favor whatever it takes to stop them. War is never gentle. I propose we begin to refer to Walz as creepy. Tucker Carlson says that the first time he saw Walz, he got creep vibes. I believe him. Whether he is or isn't what Carlson senses he is, he's an immoral bastard who is part of an effort to enslave us. Any means, fair or foul.
My husband and I watched the film The Darkest Hour for maybe the 15th time, last night. This is an excellent film for these times. We’re looking at a battle against pure evil. We must not flinch.
I have not heard of it. Thank you for the heads-up. The scariest book I have ever read is Malachi Martin's ‘‘Hostage to the Devil,” published in 1976. The subtitle is “The Possession and Exorcism of Five Americans” ( I think. Anyway, that is what the book is about. )
To my knowledge, no one ever challenged the claim of Malachi Martin, a laicized priest, that he had had access to the Vatican archives, in which, he wrote, there were full accounts of the exorcisms. He wrote much of the book from that, but also, from interviews with the exorcees and with some of the exorcists. The exorcisms themselves had been conducted over approximately a twelve year period between the early 1960s and the mid 1970s.
It's a terrifying book. I have enjoyed my share of horror fiction, and none of it can begin to match the oppressiveness of those accounts. If I had had any doubts about their authenticity, the things the demons are recorded as having said would have squelched them. I tried to read the book three times, the first time in 1977. I couldn't get beyond the second case. In 2008, I bought a reissue, and managed to get through it. I tried to read it again a year later, and couldn't do it.
One case, at least, had begun gradually in the 1930s, while the rest had begun in the 1960s. Martin was convinced that there were demoniacs who knew they were possessed, liked the way things had worked out for them in life, and had no wish whatever to be delivered.
Eyes wide open. We must not allow the enemy to ensnare us. Fear is the enemy’s favorite tool against the Kingdom. Stand firm!
“Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God’s. . . . Take your position, stand firm, and see the victory of the Lord on your behalf.’” (2 Chronicles 20:15-17)
My plan right now is to go into my room and intercede for our true leaders—those who are standing up and fighting at the front lines—whenever my own fears are stirred up. September 10 will probably be one of those times. ☺️
Agreed, Bobby, the aim of the Dems is a one-party state along the lines of the CCP.. and they will do pretty much anything to get it. That is the fight we are in.
So, the chatter is that Walz was an intentional poison-pill to sabotage Harris. Don't know about that one, but at this point, nothing is too crazy to rule out a priori.
Didn't Henry Cooper fight (and lose to) Muhammad Ali? I think I actually watched that fight in my long lost youth.
It was to Cassius Clay, a year before he became Muhammad Ali. As I say, poor Henry was a bleeder. There are boxing maniacs ( does classical boxing even exist anymore? ) who insist that Cooper could have beaten Clay. He did knock Clay down. But Ali partisans say, no way. One of the things to be grateful to YouTube for ( Thank you, sir, may I have another? ) is that they're a repository of the great fights, certainly Ali’s from the 1960s and 1970s and probably those of others. They're fun to watch, especially the February 25, 1964 title match between still - Clay and Sonny Liston. Clay really was as certain of victory as legend has held it to be. Between rounds, he made faces at the crowd.
Bobby, you are right, Ali was still Cassius when he fought Cooper, I stand corrected.
Yes, "classical boxing" does still exist... There some great fighters out there (Floyd Mayweather is an all-time great) but they don't get the attention they used to, what with MMA and the like.
BTW: in no universe can I imagine Henry Cooper would have/could have beaten the young Cassius Clay... '64-'67 was the Golden Age of "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Clay/Ali is still the greatest boxer of all time, in my admittedly less than encyclopedic book of boxing.
Yes, a favorite pasttime of mine is to watch his fights from the 1960s. I was saying this to someone just recently ( it might have been you, but the comment doesn't appear to have taken ): he really was as confident that he could beat Sonny Liston for the title as he and others close to him always maintained. It's hilarious to watch him on his stool between rounds, making faces at the crowd.
Dick Peebles was a longtime sports columnist for The Houston Chronicle. ( "Voice of the Peebles," natch. ) This is how his column for February 25, 1963 began: "Tonight in Miami Beach, a young man named Cassius Clay is going to go to sleep very early." As far as anyone knows, only Robert Lipsyte predicted a Clay victory.
Weren't the '60s a great decade for sports upsets? Joe Namath and the Jets. The Miracle Mets. Texas' victory over Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, when Darrell Royal, who would rather have cut up his momma with rusty metal than call a forward pass, called a sideline, do or die pass which gave Texas the victory.
Great comment! That’s exactly what it is. They don’t want to talk about what they really want to do! It will destroy this country even more because we are getting taxed to death with that agenda! Sadly I don’t think Democrats really think how much this will cost! Sometimes I think they don’t know who pays for taxes in the end!
The machine is big. But as it is, presidents come and go and the machine will crack soon enough. I pray we don’t become like the UK or Venezuela, but I think those otherwise smart people who would vote for this clown posse will find out soon enough if she gets in. I just wish I didn’t have to be dragged along.
The whole point in installing Traitor Joe - literally Caligula's horse's ass - in the WH is to prove they run things and your vote doesn't matter. The only answer is war. When the leaders of the administrative state are hanged the Republic can mend.
James, You're instigating to "Pick up a rifle and fight" for armed violence against who, exactly?
The Radical Left would love for us all to be that STUPID. Harris just lied, as Sasha just outlined, and stated the protesters on Jan 6 were "armed". You are either a Deep State FED instigating violence so they can jail their opponents or a Fool spouting off.
WAR, huh? Those that want to destroy America would LOVE to have this country in turmoil.
You're probably a Federal Agent, Ray Epps type implant.
Of course, she lies they all lie but she's not trying to destroy the country neither is Trump. The worst part of our selves we make the worst enemies and caricatures of each other because we all need a villain to take all our aggression on.
But just look at how people respond to what you wrote.
It will never end. It is human nature to gather in gangs, define the enemy as evil and then fight to the end. Our only hope is to funnel these instincts into a vote.
I think Trump is a lunatic. I fear if he gets in again, he'll never leave.
Watch now as people acuse me of being an "open border" radical leftist, liar, evil communist democrat.
We do have an open border though and it’s not Trump who opened it. I think you people are insane and have ruined this country. We will never recover from the damage you’ve done.
That’s nonsense. Who started this” he will never leave”? They stole the election last time by cheating in every state. See what has come out ! For instance in Georgia. Trump easily won! He is the only sane person with an actual working plan for the economy. He kept us out of wars and the economy was in great shape! They hate him because he can’t be bought!
RS Trump was in the WH for four years and left it on the day he was supposed to transfer power. What did he do during his presidency that scares you and the likes of you? Did he abuse his power to persecute and jail his opponents or journalists? Did he weaponize the DOJ? Did he attempt to censor social media? Did he use military force against our citizens as democrats imply?
Everything they say is fear mongering. None of this happened when Trump was a president. However, half of the country prefers to believe vibes and slogans against facts. Sounds like mass psychosis or that the public has been brain washed to the state of zombies.
The problem is there may not be a way out from where Harris and Walz will take us. Obama may think he will be pulling the strings, but what if she believes everything they said about her being brilliant and decides to rule on her own? Even Obama is more moderate than this pair. And definitely smarter. Serious trouble lays ahead.
So you worry about something that's not really possible yet Harris is actually doing significant damage to this country and you're not concerned? Ignoring reality to fear the maybe, ok
Machine is big and when machine is big there's tendency to be complacent or, worse, start believeing your own proaganda. Right now, there's so much gaslighting going on it's hard to parse what people on the ground really think. Social media is not real world.
I will say this. Trump campaign lost footing when the switch happened and Harris was in the honeymoon phase which makes one invulnerable. Now his campaign has found at leasts ome footing while Harris cracks are showing. So stay tuned.
If Harris is elected and implements the policies she is currently hiding and shielding from public view, it will be the same as it was after the disastrous Obama administration - watching these moronic leftists defend policies which create suffering for everyone as they blame it on corporate greed. We all know the jig is up. Those in power (Democrats) are protecting their power by appealing to low IQ voters who love to blame others for the problems these same people in power themselves created.
It will be worse than you suggest, it will be California and Canada. Carbon tax, attack and shut down of oil and gas. Electric grid outages, soaring gas and energy prices. Centralized economy. We have subsidized electric car batteries to the tune of $50 billion at least and there is no market for them. I’m what else? We also have terrible censorship laws coming in, a weaponized justice system, like the US we are all in on gender transition for kids except for a few brave provinces. Mass immigration, Chinese foreign interference, rampant corruption, bail for violent offenders but none for white working class protestors with no record. Fight like hell to get the word out people. Don’t become like Canada
I agree about the speech of her life, predictable and dishonest as hell. In his live stream Tucker called her a female Gavin Newsom - a demogague -- evil and dangerous, not to be taken lightly in prepping for the upcoming debate. Fair advice.
I started watching on Monday and three minutes in, I had already heard four lies and I turned it off and never went back. Referring to it as “Trump’s Project 2025” was too much for me… I’m just amazed and saddened that almost all of the media and half of the country goes along with this nonsense. You’re right Sasha, if he was so bad, they wouldn’t have to lie.
Thanks for all the work you do on this. No matter who wins, you can be sure that you did everything possible and we’ll move onto the next challenge.
Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot of talk about giving money to illegals, price controls, and unrealized capital gains taxes. All "joyful" Marxist ideas proven to work well in "protecting democracy".
These people are evil (leaders), ignorant (lemmings), or unintelligent (dumb lemmings). They are great at the cosplay of caring, as are most sociopaths.
If Obama had to make a d*ck joke, her internal polls must be dogsh*t
I don't think lies is the biggest takeaway. IMO, it's that cracks are widening. They started to show when she proposed the Soviet style price gauging plan that even liberals couldn't get behind, but the convention itself and the speech widened them.
As someone who isn't from America, perhaps I can offer some different perspective on the convention and Harris speech.
I thought that the whole event preached to the choir and not even all of the choir. They over-pandered to pro-choice radicals (not voters in general but radicals) with abortion and vasectomy mobile clinic overkill. One can be pro-choice (I am) and still cringe at the poor taste and performative activism. The clinic wasn't a necessity and it certainly had no place at a convention. It was pure marketing. Bonus: I don't think that men wearing abortion pill suits are going to win moderates and independent voters.
They also over-pandered to black voters at the expense of any other minority voters. It was an endless lineup of black experience, black this black that. If they think that other minority voters will just passively self-insert, they are mistaken. Bonus: I don't think they understand that Trump's "black jobs" wasn't an insult.
Yet, they offered nothing for men who aren't the Harry Sissons aka "low testosteron men" as they call them thinking it was a compliment. Men who lap up the above pandering because they fancy themselves allies and have no other needs but virtue signal and do the pandering. Bonus: I don't think that Emhoff daughter and Walz son are as big win with Zoomers as they think.
Biden was humiliation ritualed. There's no way around it. He deserves all of it.
Harris was curiously absent for the part of the event citing excuses such as that she wanted to give others their moment. That sounds like she thought she was such a star whose mere quiet sitting in the audience would steal the thunder from speakers. Which brings us to her speech. It was a flop. It wasn't a disaster but it was a flop for the following reasons:
she isn't a charismatic person so speakers before her just put that in a sharp relief which is unfortunate when the buildup is for you to outshine them all
she isn't a good speaker so it had the same effect - almost everyone speaking for days before her was better and more charisamtic
it's an empy pantsuit speech to borrow the phrase from The Hill opinion piece and people are noticing. After 30 days of constantly feeding the public with cotton candy they will crave meat yet are served more cotton candy
it appears that the campaign really wants to disassociate Harris from Biden-HARRIS administration and sell her as Obama in 2008 but that's not flying
it's a speech that thinks it pleases everyone but it really pleases no one. Not radical enough for radicals, not moderate enough for moderates, talks about change and freedom that the speaker couldn't achieve in 3.5 years in the office. Oof.
where is Beyonce? Double oof. They promised a special guest (hey, why special guest at the event where candidate herself should be the star), there was no special guest and now that's the main talk of (rightfully angry) social media. Tripple oof.
The Democrats have been in the White House for 12 of the last 16 years and all they do is destroy and complain about their destruction and blame their wrath on Trump. They are the very definition of insanity.
"The warm and friendly Kamala Harris is the one I like best."
I despise "warm & friendly" women... They are always lairs and always evil.
Didn't watch a bit of it. I will not listen to that lying cockholster DEI blowjob queen.
But of course it is all about Trump. She is as brainless as Traitor Joe. There is nothing there but bitching about real men... While parading out the beta pussywhips.
This much is certain. The best way to destroy the West is matriarchy.
It doesn't matter. This is really the fourth turning. I give it at best even odds we make it to January without civil war. Feelings? See how they feel while they lie bleeding in a roadside ditch.
I'm a tiny bit shocked to see some of my favorite commenters state such bold predictions and outcomes. Not that I disagree. By any stretch. I've been saying for almost a year now that whoever wins, there is going to be one group of volatile people, and it will be dangerous.
But speaking of winning... my tiny little opinion is that the Dems will cheat and cheat so brazenly that it will astonish everyone. And while we're standing there with our month's agape, they will just walk on by and put their lying traitorous behinds in the seats of the highest office in the land.
I'm ready today. But then again, I'm always ready. Maybe not perfectly but it's how I live. The question is, how many of the rest of the nation are ready to do what it takes? Because lives will be lost through the ultimate sacrifice and via imprisonment and by taking of our assets. Some very quietly and some as an example. Read the Gulag Archipelago.
Are we ready to do the unthinkable, the dangerous and soul shattering acts of patriots? Think about our own revolutionary war and what happened to them. That will happen to me. To us. I have no children, but I have two vulnerable adults that rely on me. I've arranged as best as I am able to provide their care should something happen to me.
Do I want violence, hell no. Am I advocating violence? No. Do I think it's inevitable, yes unfortunately. It is the well documented history of mankind.
We’re not heading for civil war. We’re heading for implosion aka civilizational collapse. Watch Chicago or any dem run city and you’ll see it in progress. What do the democrats think of the social breakdown in our cities? They don’t think of it. Their top priority is always to destroy those who oppose them. That’s what they think.
They already cheated in 2020. If you follow all the lawsuits and proof of felonies with election interference in the swing states. Brazen. That’s only part of it! Try the bomb that went off in the car of an official having to do with elections( Georgia). His daughter’s boyfriend was killed. It’s not just brazen anymore. This is a banana republic now!
Also on the must read list for 2024: The Fourth Turning, Blackmail (Whitney Webb), Bohemian Grove (Mark Dice), Behold a Pale Horse (Bill Cooper), 1984 (Orwell), and Fahrenheit 451 (Bradbury). Probably better put Revelation (St John) in there, too.
Let me add, Live not by Lies (Rod Dreher), Resistance to Tyranny (Joseph P. Martino) Civil Defense Manual (Jack Lawson), Tactical Wisdom (Joe Dolio), The Federalist Papers (assorted) but I confess I probably don't comprehend half of it meaningfully.
On my own list I have Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand), Map of Life (Sheed), amongst others. Thank you for the recommendations.
No, the scariest part is that they are written by humans. As people succumb gradually to evil, their individuality melts away, and the remains of them congeal with the rest of the thick, pooled, spreading morass of former humanity.
fuck the fuck off keyboard warrior. you are everything wrong with humanity you small, angry man. although you fit right in with all the hate and vitriol festering on this comment thread. I’m sure Sasha thinks you’re the bees knees
Dave, that idiotic FOOL has ZERO in common with what Sasha Stone has been podcasting about. If you wanna contribute to the crucifixion of SS then you're worse that he is.
I sit here and wonder how a crowd that big can be fooled so easily. Not the average low-information Democrat on the street, but the delegate at Chicago. How would people who are supposed to be connected to their party not wonder how Joe could go senile in a week, how Kamala could change all her talking points 180 degrees, and life still goes on? How indoctrinated do these people have to be to believe these lies. The whole of the government, Republicans and Democrats, covered up Joes senility, but Kamala was/is the one with the Constitutional cure - she didn't use it, she lied, she allowed the country to be more at risk that it had to be. And she smiles and spews word salad. How do those delegates drink that Kool-Aid and not puke their guts up? The lies tell us the truth - Democrats have nothing of their own to offer the voters, so they lie about someone who will improve the lot of the common man. VOTE TRUMP!
Stunning to see the convention full-on copycat and try to appropriate the Republicans, from chanting USA! USA!, to showcasing the Marines and police officers, to singing the national anthem. I have not seen them act like this in decades. Where were the drag queens? 'Freedom' was a banned word in the Democratic party only a couple of years ago, fully associated with the Republicans, and now they've stolen that too, as if stealing their oppositions identity can garner votes, like they think people are that dumb.
The problem is that too many republicans behave like they Stockholm syndrome and still desperately try to sit at the lunch table with the mean girls and boys that are inexplicably popular. It’s like Romy and Michelle, or any 80s teen movie, except there’s never a moment where the republicans wake up to their own idiocy just in time to save the day. I really want Trump to win, and win with such a dramatic landslide that there will be no way to deny his mandate. But republicans always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Julie, have faith... notwithstanding the DNC/media propaganda machine, my strong sense is that an unlikely coalition of Republicans, maverick former Dems, and independents are going to send Trump back to the White House.
Oh, I want desperately to believe your words Pacificus!! My gut says that they will just pretend they've won and act like it while we try to wrap our fair and rational minds around their outrageous behavior. I pray every day for a safe and fair election and transition. But I'm also ready to do the hard thing. To give the last full measure.
Kamala sits on a throne of lies. Not a single vote in the primaries. She covered up Biden’s senility, then took over after Barry, Nancy, and Chucky shivved him - for democracy! https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/for-democracy-dnc-got-biden-obama-movie
tbf, she doesn't force anyone to play along. it's their choice. Take this example:
Rumors were swirling that Biden would drop out on Sunday. Donors were sweating buckets and organized a Zoom meeting on Friday to discuss their next step after decision to freeze 90M in funds. DNC sent Harris to reassure the donors that everything was fine. What she said was this. I will try to paraphrase the best I can. "I want to share a secret with you. I have a secret. I know in my heart of hearts that Joe Biden is winning this with me, we are winning this". Now, forget the secret nonsense as if she was talking to children. She was lying, flat out lying. And they said after the meeting that they were not convicned, that they were totally underwhelmed and that their time was wasted. Come Sunday, Biden dropped out and what did they do? Wired 300M in funds to Harris ticket in less than 72 hours! These people were lied into their face and talked down as if they were children and yet they chose to part with 300M so that the person who lied to them and talked down to them as if they were children could win.
Don't blame Harris.
“tbf, she doesn't force anyone to play along. it's their choice.”
Wow, even that’s a LIE.
The left’s socialist national agenda is based on force, you don’t have a choice.
Why is their number one priority of gun confiscation the same as every other dictator down through history?
For safety? Sure, that’s another LIE.
They want a monopoly on the use of force, therefore, they want to deprive the people of their common sense human right of self-defence.
you seriosuly think that anyone can force people, who have 100s of millions to waste, to do anything?
Everyone take note on whether a leftist can actually answer a basic question:
YES or NO: Is Comrade Kamala demanding gun confiscation?
Unconstitutional ‘Red Flag’ GUN CONFISCATION, Mandatory Gun ‘buy backs’ as though the left somehow ‘owned’ your guns before you took possession…
Control of private property with ‘Universal’ background checks – leading to registration to facilitate gun CONFISCATION. An Assault weapon ban – more gun confiscation.
So-called ‘safe storage’ laws to facilitate… you guessed it.. GUN CONFISCATION.
It’s Obama, Soros, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton’s the WEF. They don’t want Trump because they cannot buy him! He wants term limits. That means the end of the forever Congress and Senate to gather wealth for themselves. Most don’t work for the people!
Remember the Lincoln Project? That if nothing else proves how easy it is to pry hard-earned (or government-provided?) money from liberals. Look at the millions if not BILLIONS in book sales from anyone denigrating Trump. If I had half a brain, I'd just write a book talking about one time I met (though I never have) Mr. Trump and lay out ten thousand fictional things he told me. If it made Trump look awful, it would fly off of the shelves. I keep wondering when Cassidy Hutchinson will face perjury charges or be sued for proceeds from her book retelling her lies.
While Harris' delivery was strong, she gave what was perhaps the most dishonest, most propagandistic speech that I have ever heard. Sasha detailed some of the lies that she told, but for me, more startling was what was left out: no real mention of "climate change" and the Green New Deal; no talk of "systemic racism"; no talk of EV mandates and ending fossil fuels; no talk of pediatric gender transition surgery; no talk of expanding Title IX to include men who claim to be women; not even any talk about imposing price controls, which she proposed just last week. It was a systematic omission of virtually the entire Democrat agenda with the exception of abortion, which was (as usual) euphemistically referred to as "reproductive health care." Their entire Left wing program was disguised under a bundle of patriotic, go-America rhetoric that you know most people in that hall don't really believe in. All to pull the wool over the eyes of those watching on TV.
Question: if Donald Trump is so horrible, why do the Dems find it necessary to lie about him so much? One would think they could make their case against him without having to make so much stuff up.
Some time ago, I am not sure when, the Democrats slipped the cog of reasonable disagreement in a system of representative government. They don't want the bother which attends normal electoral politics. They want one party rule. It isn't without significance that Tiananmen Tim has his lifelong enrapturement with Maoism.
And Tim's Maoism is as vulnerable to attack as the fine British fighter of the early 1960s, Henry Cooper, was, because for all his skill, poor Henry was a bleeder. There is a hypothesis going around that Obama wanted Walz because he thinks Walz is a guarantor of Harris' defeat. Why would he want that? I haven't seen a reason proffered, but it does occur to me that for all the disdain he arouses in us, the man has been President of the United States, is in his mysterious way a patriot, and knows that a Harris presidency would leave us so badly f*cked, we'd never be remotely the same again. Added to this is the probability that he doesn't want his daughters to have to live in a Harris America. A rising tide may lift all boats, but a Titanic takes most of its passengers with it.
Whatever the truth or not of any of my speculation, this is such a winnable election. Pence was deadweight to Trump in terms of a natural Trump constituency, the millions of white left - behinds throughout the Midwest. There could not have been a vice presidential nominee better equipped to appeal to them than J. D. Vance.
The one presidential debate Her Highness has agreed to will be fascinating and nerve wracking. Trump was at his best against Biden. If he can scrounge up the same level of self discipline when he faces Harris, he should do fine.
I'm still cybersemiliterate at best, and have no idea how to post a link in a Substack Comments section, so the best I can do is to urge you to look around for "The Two Minutes of Hate" video which was run repeatedly at the DNC. A friend sent me a link from Zero Hedge. It shocked me. I'm 72, barely survived a bombing, and in the last twenty years, have survived the efforts of several other psychopaths to kill me off. I'm not, in short, a naif. But "The Two Minutes of Hate" video shocked me. These people aren't just perverse, they're evil ( twenty - five abortions so far in the van parked outside the convention ), and must be stopped, whatever it takes, including bribery, ballot theft, and, as necessary, discreetly practiced kidnapping.
The Chicago way. Is Vance weird? Very well, then, Walz is creepy. Trump is Trump. As for Kamala, well, she's vacuous. And she has the highest turnover of employees of any federal officeholder. Four years ago, the Democrats got the fifty one intelligence officers who declared that the Hunter Biden laptop was a fake, which it was not. We must be able to find at least a hundred former Harris employees who will attest to her bullying, her general, dehumanizing treatment of them, and the blunt fact that she is just a first class bi - uh, termagant.
To post a link you just copy it and then paste it here. Touch the blinking cursor and it will ask if you want to copy or select. Choose one of those and then paste it here the same way.
Alas, I have only an Android phone. I've never had a computer and haven't wanted one. Here's what to put into a search engine: zero hedge two minutes of hate
Watch that video. These people are demonic.
I’ve never had an Android phone but it must be pretty much the same. Do a search on bing or Google and ask how to do it on your phone. I just finished watching RFK endorsing Trump and joining his team. Astonishingly good news. Watch it as soon as possible. It is tremendously damning of the demonic democrats.
It's wonderful, and sensational politics, coming less than twenty - four hours after the close of the follies in Chicago. It's like a fantastic, unexpected play in a football game which shifts the momentum dramatically.
My only impression of Walz was that he was the pathetic sap who had done nothing when Minneapolis was being burned. But he was the first I heard use the word, “weird,” in an attempt to frame Vance, and when in his little rollout in Philadelphia, he made the sleazy reference to the sofa lie, I became convinced that the man is a sociopath. They always understand the power of words to destroy. Well, damn it, these people are brigands, and I favor whatever it takes to stop them. War is never gentle. I propose we begin to refer to Walz as creepy. Tucker Carlson says that the first time he saw Walz, he got creep vibes. I believe him. Whether he is or isn't what Carlson senses he is, he's an immoral bastard who is part of an effort to enslave us. Any means, fair or foul.
👏👏👏👏👏
My husband and I watched the film The Darkest Hour for maybe the 15th time, last night. This is an excellent film for these times. We’re looking at a battle against pure evil. We must not flinch.
I have not heard of it. Thank you for the heads-up. The scariest book I have ever read is Malachi Martin's ‘‘Hostage to the Devil,” published in 1976. The subtitle is “The Possession and Exorcism of Five Americans” ( I think. Anyway, that is what the book is about. )
To my knowledge, no one ever challenged the claim of Malachi Martin, a laicized priest, that he had had access to the Vatican archives, in which, he wrote, there were full accounts of the exorcisms. He wrote much of the book from that, but also, from interviews with the exorcees and with some of the exorcists. The exorcisms themselves had been conducted over approximately a twelve year period between the early 1960s and the mid 1970s.
It's a terrifying book. I have enjoyed my share of horror fiction, and none of it can begin to match the oppressiveness of those accounts. If I had had any doubts about their authenticity, the things the demons are recorded as having said would have squelched them. I tried to read the book three times, the first time in 1977. I couldn't get beyond the second case. In 2008, I bought a reissue, and managed to get through it. I tried to read it again a year later, and couldn't do it.
One case, at least, had begun gradually in the 1930s, while the rest had begun in the 1960s. Martin was convinced that there were demoniacs who knew they were possessed, liked the way things had worked out for them in life, and had no wish whatever to be delivered.
Eyes wide open. We must not allow the enemy to ensnare us. Fear is the enemy’s favorite tool against the Kingdom. Stand firm!
“Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God’s. . . . Take your position, stand firm, and see the victory of the Lord on your behalf.’” (2 Chronicles 20:15-17)
My plan right now is to go into my room and intercede for our true leaders—those who are standing up and fighting at the front lines—whenever my own fears are stirred up. September 10 will probably be one of those times. ☺️
Agreed, Bobby, the aim of the Dems is a one-party state along the lines of the CCP.. and they will do pretty much anything to get it. That is the fight we are in.
So, the chatter is that Walz was an intentional poison-pill to sabotage Harris. Don't know about that one, but at this point, nothing is too crazy to rule out a priori.
Didn't Henry Cooper fight (and lose to) Muhammad Ali? I think I actually watched that fight in my long lost youth.
It was to Cassius Clay, a year before he became Muhammad Ali. As I say, poor Henry was a bleeder. There are boxing maniacs ( does classical boxing even exist anymore? ) who insist that Cooper could have beaten Clay. He did knock Clay down. But Ali partisans say, no way. One of the things to be grateful to YouTube for ( Thank you, sir, may I have another? ) is that they're a repository of the great fights, certainly Ali’s from the 1960s and 1970s and probably those of others. They're fun to watch, especially the February 25, 1964 title match between still - Clay and Sonny Liston. Clay really was as certain of victory as legend has held it to be. Between rounds, he made faces at the crowd.
Bobby, you are right, Ali was still Cassius when he fought Cooper, I stand corrected.
Yes, "classical boxing" does still exist... There some great fighters out there (Floyd Mayweather is an all-time great) but they don't get the attention they used to, what with MMA and the like.
BTW: in no universe can I imagine Henry Cooper would have/could have beaten the young Cassius Clay... '64-'67 was the Golden Age of "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Clay/Ali is still the greatest boxer of all time, in my admittedly less than encyclopedic book of boxing.
Yes, a favorite pasttime of mine is to watch his fights from the 1960s. I was saying this to someone just recently ( it might have been you, but the comment doesn't appear to have taken ): he really was as confident that he could beat Sonny Liston for the title as he and others close to him always maintained. It's hilarious to watch him on his stool between rounds, making faces at the crowd.
Dick Peebles was a longtime sports columnist for The Houston Chronicle. ( "Voice of the Peebles," natch. ) This is how his column for February 25, 1963 began: "Tonight in Miami Beach, a young man named Cassius Clay is going to go to sleep very early." As far as anyone knows, only Robert Lipsyte predicted a Clay victory.
Weren't the '60s a great decade for sports upsets? Joe Namath and the Jets. The Miracle Mets. Texas' victory over Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, when Darrell Royal, who would rather have cut up his momma with rusty metal than call a forward pass, called a sideline, do or die pass which gave Texas the victory.
Great comment! That’s exactly what it is. They don’t want to talk about what they really want to do! It will destroy this country even more because we are getting taxed to death with that agenda! Sadly I don’t think Democrats really think how much this will cost! Sometimes I think they don’t know who pays for taxes in the end!
I totally agree with your question
The machine is big. But as it is, presidents come and go and the machine will crack soon enough. I pray we don’t become like the UK or Venezuela, but I think those otherwise smart people who would vote for this clown posse will find out soon enough if she gets in. I just wish I didn’t have to be dragged along.
The whole point in installing Traitor Joe - literally Caligula's horse's ass - in the WH is to prove they run things and your vote doesn't matter. The only answer is war. When the leaders of the administrative state are hanged the Republic can mend.
"I just wish I didn’t have to be dragged along. "
You don't. Pick up a rifle and fight.
James, You're instigating to "Pick up a rifle and fight" for armed violence against who, exactly?
The Radical Left would love for us all to be that STUPID. Harris just lied, as Sasha just outlined, and stated the protesters on Jan 6 were "armed". You are either a Deep State FED instigating violence so they can jail their opponents or a Fool spouting off.
WAR, huh? Those that want to destroy America would LOVE to have this country in turmoil.
You're probably a Federal Agent, Ray Epps type implant.
Of course, she lies they all lie but she's not trying to destroy the country neither is Trump. The worst part of our selves we make the worst enemies and caricatures of each other because we all need a villain to take all our aggression on.
Yup.
But just look at how people respond to what you wrote.
It will never end. It is human nature to gather in gangs, define the enemy as evil and then fight to the end. Our only hope is to funnel these instincts into a vote.
I think Trump is a lunatic. I fear if he gets in again, he'll never leave.
Watch now as people acuse me of being an "open border" radical leftist, liar, evil communist democrat.
We do have an open border though and it’s not Trump who opened it. I think you people are insane and have ruined this country. We will never recover from the damage you’ve done.
That’s nonsense. Who started this” he will never leave”? They stole the election last time by cheating in every state. See what has come out ! For instance in Georgia. Trump easily won! He is the only sane person with an actual working plan for the economy. He kept us out of wars and the economy was in great shape! They hate him because he can’t be bought!
RS Trump was in the WH for four years and left it on the day he was supposed to transfer power. What did he do during his presidency that scares you and the likes of you? Did he abuse his power to persecute and jail his opponents or journalists? Did he weaponize the DOJ? Did he attempt to censor social media? Did he use military force against our citizens as democrats imply?
Everything they say is fear mongering. None of this happened when Trump was a president. However, half of the country prefers to believe vibes and slogans against facts. Sounds like mass psychosis or that the public has been brain washed to the state of zombies.
The problem is there may not be a way out from where Harris and Walz will take us. Obama may think he will be pulling the strings, but what if she believes everything they said about her being brilliant and decides to rule on her own? Even Obama is more moderate than this pair. And definitely smarter. Serious trouble lays ahead.
So you worry about something that's not really possible yet Harris is actually doing significant damage to this country and you're not concerned? Ignoring reality to fear the maybe, ok
That's only Democrats.
People say all politicians are bad but only because they support Democrats.
It's a swindle.
Right. Only democrats do this:)
Just stop the echo chamber bullshit I dont buy it.
She is trying to destroy the USA.
The simple test is has she secured the borders?
No instead she has opened them wide.
I’m old but I’ll do my part
Machine is big and when machine is big there's tendency to be complacent or, worse, start believeing your own proaganda. Right now, there's so much gaslighting going on it's hard to parse what people on the ground really think. Social media is not real world.
I will say this. Trump campaign lost footing when the switch happened and Harris was in the honeymoon phase which makes one invulnerable. Now his campaign has found at leasts ome footing while Harris cracks are showing. So stay tuned.
I can’t watch it, to much anxiety, I know she’s full of shit already, the thought of sitting and watching her lie is to much.
💯
Same. The entire convention, other than the parents of young man taken hostage by Hamas, was unwatchable.
If Harris is elected and implements the policies she is currently hiding and shielding from public view, it will be the same as it was after the disastrous Obama administration - watching these moronic leftists defend policies which create suffering for everyone as they blame it on corporate greed. We all know the jig is up. Those in power (Democrats) are protecting their power by appealing to low IQ voters who love to blame others for the problems these same people in power themselves created.
Like the Obama health insurance people like?
The gaslighting and projection is unbelievable.
Unfortunately the majority of Americans are too stupid and forced fed their news by a state run media.
A reckoning is coming. If she win our enemies will be emboldened. We’ll continue to send billions overseas. The border will remain open.
It was a good 250 year run but all civilizations rise, peak then fall.
We are like Rome of the 5th Century but the barbarians are already over the gates.
It will be worse than you suggest, it will be California and Canada. Carbon tax, attack and shut down of oil and gas. Electric grid outages, soaring gas and energy prices. Centralized economy. We have subsidized electric car batteries to the tune of $50 billion at least and there is no market for them. I’m what else? We also have terrible censorship laws coming in, a weaponized justice system, like the US we are all in on gender transition for kids except for a few brave provinces. Mass immigration, Chinese foreign interference, rampant corruption, bail for violent offenders but none for white working class protestors with no record. Fight like hell to get the word out people. Don’t become like Canada
Amen
I agree about the speech of her life, predictable and dishonest as hell. In his live stream Tucker called her a female Gavin Newsom - a demogague -- evil and dangerous, not to be taken lightly in prepping for the upcoming debate. Fair advice.
I started watching on Monday and three minutes in, I had already heard four lies and I turned it off and never went back. Referring to it as “Trump’s Project 2025” was too much for me… I’m just amazed and saddened that almost all of the media and half of the country goes along with this nonsense. You’re right Sasha, if he was so bad, they wouldn’t have to lie.
Thanks for all the work you do on this. No matter who wins, you can be sure that you did everything possible and we’ll move onto the next challenge.
Lots of "Joy" in lying....
Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot of talk about giving money to illegals, price controls, and unrealized capital gains taxes. All "joyful" Marxist ideas proven to work well in "protecting democracy".
These people are evil (leaders), ignorant (lemmings), or unintelligent (dumb lemmings). They are great at the cosplay of caring, as are most sociopaths.
They give zero fucks about average people.
If Obama had to make a d*ck joke, her internal polls must be dogsh*t
I don't think lies is the biggest takeaway. IMO, it's that cracks are widening. They started to show when she proposed the Soviet style price gauging plan that even liberals couldn't get behind, but the convention itself and the speech widened them.
As someone who isn't from America, perhaps I can offer some different perspective on the convention and Harris speech.
I thought that the whole event preached to the choir and not even all of the choir. They over-pandered to pro-choice radicals (not voters in general but radicals) with abortion and vasectomy mobile clinic overkill. One can be pro-choice (I am) and still cringe at the poor taste and performative activism. The clinic wasn't a necessity and it certainly had no place at a convention. It was pure marketing. Bonus: I don't think that men wearing abortion pill suits are going to win moderates and independent voters.
They also over-pandered to black voters at the expense of any other minority voters. It was an endless lineup of black experience, black this black that. If they think that other minority voters will just passively self-insert, they are mistaken. Bonus: I don't think they understand that Trump's "black jobs" wasn't an insult.
Yet, they offered nothing for men who aren't the Harry Sissons aka "low testosteron men" as they call them thinking it was a compliment. Men who lap up the above pandering because they fancy themselves allies and have no other needs but virtue signal and do the pandering. Bonus: I don't think that Emhoff daughter and Walz son are as big win with Zoomers as they think.
Biden was humiliation ritualed. There's no way around it. He deserves all of it.
Harris was curiously absent for the part of the event citing excuses such as that she wanted to give others their moment. That sounds like she thought she was such a star whose mere quiet sitting in the audience would steal the thunder from speakers. Which brings us to her speech. It was a flop. It wasn't a disaster but it was a flop for the following reasons:
she isn't a charismatic person so speakers before her just put that in a sharp relief which is unfortunate when the buildup is for you to outshine them all
she isn't a good speaker so it had the same effect - almost everyone speaking for days before her was better and more charisamtic
it's an empy pantsuit speech to borrow the phrase from The Hill opinion piece and people are noticing. After 30 days of constantly feeding the public with cotton candy they will crave meat yet are served more cotton candy
it appears that the campaign really wants to disassociate Harris from Biden-HARRIS administration and sell her as Obama in 2008 but that's not flying
it's a speech that thinks it pleases everyone but it really pleases no one. Not radical enough for radicals, not moderate enough for moderates, talks about change and freedom that the speaker couldn't achieve in 3.5 years in the office. Oof.
where is Beyonce? Double oof. They promised a special guest (hey, why special guest at the event where candidate herself should be the star), there was no special guest and now that's the main talk of (rightfully angry) social media. Tripple oof.
Flailing has started.
The Democrats have been in the White House for 12 of the last 16 years and all they do is destroy and complain about their destruction and blame their wrath on Trump. They are the very definition of insanity.
"The warm and friendly Kamala Harris is the one I like best."
I despise "warm & friendly" women... They are always lairs and always evil.
Didn't watch a bit of it. I will not listen to that lying cockholster DEI blowjob queen.
But of course it is all about Trump. She is as brainless as Traitor Joe. There is nothing there but bitching about real men... While parading out the beta pussywhips.
This much is certain. The best way to destroy the West is matriarchy.
It doesn't matter. This is really the fourth turning. I give it at best even odds we make it to January without civil war. Feelings? See how they feel while they lie bleeding in a roadside ditch.
El Deguello.
I'm a tiny bit shocked to see some of my favorite commenters state such bold predictions and outcomes. Not that I disagree. By any stretch. I've been saying for almost a year now that whoever wins, there is going to be one group of volatile people, and it will be dangerous.
But speaking of winning... my tiny little opinion is that the Dems will cheat and cheat so brazenly that it will astonish everyone. And while we're standing there with our month's agape, they will just walk on by and put their lying traitorous behinds in the seats of the highest office in the land.
I'm ready today. But then again, I'm always ready. Maybe not perfectly but it's how I live. The question is, how many of the rest of the nation are ready to do what it takes? Because lives will be lost through the ultimate sacrifice and via imprisonment and by taking of our assets. Some very quietly and some as an example. Read the Gulag Archipelago.
Are we ready to do the unthinkable, the dangerous and soul shattering acts of patriots? Think about our own revolutionary war and what happened to them. That will happen to me. To us. I have no children, but I have two vulnerable adults that rely on me. I've arranged as best as I am able to provide their care should something happen to me.
Do I want violence, hell no. Am I advocating violence? No. Do I think it's inevitable, yes unfortunately. It is the well documented history of mankind.
We’re not heading for civil war. We’re heading for implosion aka civilizational collapse. Watch Chicago or any dem run city and you’ll see it in progress. What do the democrats think of the social breakdown in our cities? They don’t think of it. Their top priority is always to destroy those who oppose them. That’s what they think.
Pittsburgh going down the toilet.
Run by Dems for decade.
Can't find a police officer, increased crime, carjackings, home invasions, stabbings, robbery, etc.
I have to admit, I can work up precious little sympathy for those living in the blue cities. They voted for it.
I live in a blue city...and Pittsburgh cheats.
They already cheated in 2020. If you follow all the lawsuits and proof of felonies with election interference in the swing states. Brazen. That’s only part of it! Try the bomb that went off in the car of an official having to do with elections( Georgia). His daughter’s boyfriend was killed. It’s not just brazen anymore. This is a banana republic now!
I hadn't heard of that car bombing. Indeed a banana republic.
It was a couple of years ago.
Agreed.
Gulag Archipelago - 100%
Also on the must read list for 2024: The Fourth Turning, Blackmail (Whitney Webb), Bohemian Grove (Mark Dice), Behold a Pale Horse (Bill Cooper), 1984 (Orwell), and Fahrenheit 451 (Bradbury). Probably better put Revelation (St John) in there, too.

On my own list I have Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand), Map of Life (Sheed), amongst others. Thank you for the recommendations.
I wouldn’t exactly call her brainless, she’s pretty cunning. And dangerous…
I believe not one of her speeches I've seen recently has been written by a human, my belief is they're written by AI.
The one last night follows the same patterns.
She's using the same ideas they used in 2020, if you hate Trump then vote for her.
I wish it was possible for Trump to sue people for the lies they've told.
No, the scariest part is that they are written by humans. As people succumb gradually to evil, their individuality melts away, and the remains of them congeal with the rest of the thick, pooled, spreading morass of former humanity.
fuck the fuck off keyboard warrior. you are everything wrong with humanity you small, angry man. although you fit right in with all the hate and vitriol festering on this comment thread. I’m sure Sasha thinks you’re the bees knees
I'll bet you love the higher costs and global wars.
Democrats are ruled under Satan's lies
Dave, that idiotic FOOL has ZERO in common with what Sasha Stone has been podcasting about. If you wanna contribute to the crucifixion of SS then you're worse that he is.
I sit here and wonder how a crowd that big can be fooled so easily. Not the average low-information Democrat on the street, but the delegate at Chicago. How would people who are supposed to be connected to their party not wonder how Joe could go senile in a week, how Kamala could change all her talking points 180 degrees, and life still goes on? How indoctrinated do these people have to be to believe these lies. The whole of the government, Republicans and Democrats, covered up Joes senility, but Kamala was/is the one with the Constitutional cure - she didn't use it, she lied, she allowed the country to be more at risk that it had to be. And she smiles and spews word salad. How do those delegates drink that Kool-Aid and not puke their guts up? The lies tell us the truth - Democrats have nothing of their own to offer the voters, so they lie about someone who will improve the lot of the common man. VOTE TRUMP!
Stunning to see the convention full-on copycat and try to appropriate the Republicans, from chanting USA! USA!, to showcasing the Marines and police officers, to singing the national anthem. I have not seen them act like this in decades. Where were the drag queens? 'Freedom' was a banned word in the Democratic party only a couple of years ago, fully associated with the Republicans, and now they've stolen that too, as if stealing their oppositions identity can garner votes, like they think people are that dumb.
“like they think people are that dumb.”
Many of our “fellow Americans” are that dumb. Horrible but true.
It, pretty much, astounded me. Haven't seen them do any of that since before 2008. I was expecting someone to break out the Lord's Prayer.
The problem is that too many republicans behave like they Stockholm syndrome and still desperately try to sit at the lunch table with the mean girls and boys that are inexplicably popular. It’s like Romy and Michelle, or any 80s teen movie, except there’s never a moment where the republicans wake up to their own idiocy just in time to save the day. I really want Trump to win, and win with such a dramatic landslide that there will be no way to deny his mandate. But republicans always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Julie, have faith... notwithstanding the DNC/media propaganda machine, my strong sense is that an unlikely coalition of Republicans, maverick former Dems, and independents are going to send Trump back to the White House.
Oh, I want desperately to believe your words Pacificus!! My gut says that they will just pretend they've won and act like it while we try to wrap our fair and rational minds around their outrageous behavior. I pray every day for a safe and fair election and transition. But I'm also ready to do the hard thing. To give the last full measure.
