They are definitely NOT tracking folks recently pulled into MAGA because these folks aren't public about anything, mainly out of fear of pushback. That attitude is starting to recede here in MN.
My son lives in South Minneapolis which, while only 2.5 miles from Floyd Square, is the playground of the middle manager types working in Minneapolis. Fully liberal area for three generations. Trump signs are appearing...
...really appreciate the on-the-scene reporting Danimal.....good to know some MN folks are getting the courage to stand for Trump, for conservative principles.
It helps me to think of the MSM and the Democrat Party as one indivisible unit. I entertain no expectations of real journalistic behavior because they are the DNC now.
Yes, and our nation and our political processes are much the worse off for this big tilt towards one party. How can the public become informed and exercise good judgement in making their political choices if journalists like Ms. Bash are so overtly partisan towards Dems as to mimic the "journalists" who worked for Pravda and Izvestia in the old USSR.
with respect, Why Pravda and Soviet era when US propaganda over the last decades is so readily available.?
Judith Miller NYT, WMD claims. Over 20 years ago.
Jump forward FBI and DOJ and former NSA, CIA, DOD claim Russians and Trump, Laptop. And these "reputable" news sources ate it up and disseminated back to general public as "fact checked"!
Recent confession by Zuckerberg/Facebook/META that he was blackmailed into complying with censorship for Harris and Biden. List goes on. People still have no clue what our government carried out in Syria. Still blind to our actions in Ukraine.
So going back to Soviet Union risks limiting the immediate past examples of abuses of public trust and gives casual readers option to deflect blame.
My wife is friends with a lady that retired from the San Fran DA’s as a legal aid. She worked alongside Kamala’s aids. They all hated her. They would try to prepare her for cases, usually explaining them to her 3 times, but she was too dumb to understand them. She would go into the hearings and get embarrassed and then she would say that her aids didn’t prepare her and scream at them. Entitled, vain, vindictive, and a moron. A brat, some would say.
I don't know anyone who answers unknown callers or spam now days. So WHO is being counted and HOW are they being counted in these polls? And if I did answer to find a pollster I wouldn't do the poll. MANY people aren't being counted.
I have been polled, back in the day of "home phones." I laughed at the person asking questions and said I'm not answering Yes or No to that bc the question itself is biased in the Dem's favor. So I re-phrased it for them, but he couldn't "record" my response since it wasn't in their format. That was probably 20 years ago & confirmed for me that pollsters are at base, liars and manipulators.
Great video!!!! That actually makes me feel a little bit better, like this is just all a cycle, there are always devils, there is always the horrible press, there is always the opposition. Maybe the only difference is we currently have Marxists in charge.
These days it's more than "Marxists". It's *authoritarian* Marxists, formerly known as "Communists". Practically speaking, the change from "Communism" to "Neo-Communism", with immutables like race in place of "the workers" and redistribution of status (not just wealth) in place of "the workers controlling the means of production", is a distinction without a difference: the dictatorship of the oppressed must be achieved!
That’s exactly what I was asking during the Democratic primaries in 2020, when Biden immediately shot to the top of the polls. I was like, Huh? Who exactly are answering these polls, and how is Biden in the lead?
I think they use the polls in order to set up the cheat. They poll only Democrats, who have to be the only people who answered these polls, and then they know what they have to do. Mail in ballots bound.
maybe 'honest whores.' the ones who don't say, '50$? it was 100$. where's the rest?' when you talk sycophancy of MSNBC (100 percent, did not air one second of RFK, Jr.'s exist speech), you are talking dishonest whores. CNN, similarly. Was not always so. It is now. Even their once entertaining talking heads, such as James Carville and Paul Begala, just opt with ad hom insults if you disagree with their sycophancy. Carville thinks the man polling from 5-14 per cent for dem. US president, should be 'institutionalized'. ha ha. See, he's only joking, when Trump says such things, he's planning a dictatorship. James you see, as is Paul, is now a shameless dishonest whore as well.
and how about something else? Bill Clinton, an aging former president, can't for the life of him pronounce Kamala's name correctly. Why is Trump a racist, but he's a charming oldster?
Lastly, the woman who said she would 'never take a Trump vax!' actually has blue team sycophants coming on each and every day to call her so smart not to debate Trump, then so smart not to have press conferences, and so smart not to have policy positions on the webite--! (she's all visionary first, like, uh, JFK!)...then, so smart to have an interview with mediocre Dana, and have her VP along. Pretty much anything and everything she says is great and wise and whatever the Biden/Harris admin. tells them to say or do. The blue team state media champion dishonest whoredom. Even as we speak, Zuckerberg is trying to change his status from dishonest whore to honest whore. Let's all wish him luck with that!
I think the media are stenographers for the TLA's, and the TLA's give marching orders to the Democrats, both media and Dems are working for the same Masters
Vance artfully runs through the administration’s failed policies and implicates and links them to Harris. We know Biden is incapable of running things and if she is not calling the shots, who is. You can almost see Bash’s head explode. 🤯
Between Trump, Vance, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and I’m sure there are a few surprises, I wish it was the start of the first quarter instead of the fourth quarter. If we can keep the basement dwellers on the field this election can be won. 🏆
I agree about Vance, I think he's been terrific. At every stop, he allows time specifically for questions from locals, really good. He's articulate and focused, and he hasn't even been VP for the last 3-1/2 years!
I was baffled by the Republicans who said of Vance, "an absolutely terrible choice for Vice President," ( as one guy actually said ), because I'd seen just enough of him to know how impressive he is. Then, I realized that the people who think that wanted Nikki Haley to be Vice President.
Mike Pence is a good and honorable man, but he brought essentially nothing to his debate with Harris four years ago. As people will recall, maybe the most remarked upon thing about that debate was the fly which was attracted to the top of Pence's head, which it seemed to view as a tarmac.
I look forward to the Vance/Walz debate. I knew Walz was the dope who did nothing while Minneapolis burned, and thought he was a terrible choice for Vice President. ( I'm intrigued by the assertion that Obama sold Harris on Walz because he wants Harris to lose. The reason for this isn't hard to imagine. He's the father of two adult daughters. A rising tide may lift all boats, but the Titanic takes most of its manifest with it. )
If I am not mistaken, it was Walz who was the first to sling the "weird" defamation at Vance. When at his introduction a few days before the Dems' convention, he made an allusion to the disgusting "sofa" lie, I thought, "This guy is scum," and haven't changed my mind.
Not much has been made of it - in fact, pro Trump media seems to have put the kibosh on it in the last several weeks, and if they have, it's so it can be used when it will cause most damage - but unless I misunderstand veterans, and what is likely to enrage them, there is more coming about the stolen valor matter, and it will be very bad for the Harris/Walz ticket.
On her show yesterday, Megyn Kelly told viewers who Walz reminds her of: the hyper excited audience members who were told to "come on down!" on The Price is Right. Really, I think a better comparison would be to Joaquin Phoenix's performance as The Joker.
I find the Harris campaign tactic of reversing her position on just about every issue to be really infuriating and particularly insulting. Anyone who's paid a modicum of attention knows it's all lies, there is no way she has suddenly turned into a conservative. But the media goes along with it because they all know the Biden/Harris agenda has been so unpopular and very destructive.
Agreed - She has no intention of doing any of it. It’s all a lie or so nuance with fine print that it’s essentially never going to happen. The REALLY sad part is there are millions of people that don’t care. I saw an interview with a woman that said she was voting for Harris because she was making all income go LOWER. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s insane. Hopefully sanity will prevail. 👊
Very true Jim! Every time more of the dirt, bad behavior and lack of presidential ability comes out on Harris/Walz- I witness unwavering support from my blue-looney friends and family!
KH will say anything. She has no principles whatsoever, although all her instincts are hard Left. She also is not a good liar, so she needs to rehearse everything, or have a superb liar like Walz to be with her to help her out. She knows the Media is on her side, so she can get away with it, and will probably win the election.
We know it’s all a crock because the Dems wouldn’t be idolizing her if they believed the reversal were true. The Democrats themselves obviously don’t believe her; why should anyone else?
HOW could anyone watch that Bash interview with JD without seeing the depths to which so called journlists will go to to insult anything or anyone affiliated with Trump even the Vice President nominee. He put her to shame and she must have known it - rather like Peterson's interview with the BBC interviewer. What bothers me, a long=time watcher of only men being on news shows, is how embbaressd I am as somwone who pushed hard for women to rise to the top during my own time at one of the big magazines of the time. And we got the likes of Dana Bash.
Harris doesn't do interviews because she doesn't need to take chances, even with a fawning MSM. The race is Harris' to lose. All she has to do is not to screw up between now and November.
Cynical? Sure, but if it gets her elected, then it worked.
Feral, playing Hide The Kamala may "work" in terms of getting her elected, but we all should be very clear that the hide her strategy de-legitimates the process.. a true democracy is built on the public knowing where the candidates stand on the issues, and voting accordingly. A state-run propaganda media pushing a media-created image of a candidate to victory is not a democracy, it is a Soviet-style sham.
Just because there is an election does not mean a society is a "democracy."
The United States is an oligarchy featuring unlimited political bribery for those who can afford pricey lawyers. Not a democracy or a democratic republic, although the United States retains vestigial trappings of these forms.
Neither Harris, nor anyone else of influence and authority, cares whether the process is delegitimized, as long as her orders are still followed and she can command enough carrot and stick to compel the same.
OK, I go along with your characterization of the US as an "oligarchy," but many people who, perhaps, aren't paying close attention don't know this fact... our job is to remind them of that.
I do disagree with your view that the oligarchy doesn't care if the process is de-legitimized in the eyes of the public... their control is in no small measure dependent upon people believing the system is legit, and if that fails, the oligarchy may face a challenge to its power.
Well, the oligarchy still commands enough carrot and enough stick that their wishes are followed. "I can hire one half of the working class to exterminate the other half of the working class." - Jay Gould
Caity Johnstone's analogy to voting being like giving prisoners plastic keys is apropos.
Perhaps you can make a case for depending on Middle East countries, some of whom chant Death To America, for oil & gas when were sitting on an enormous supply.
Make a case for an open border an increased crime. And defunding the Police. And for kicking 170M+ people off their private insurance provider.
How will grocery price controls be enacted, and how will it keep grocery chains who already operate on a 1.5% margin from going out of business?
What is Harris' stance on Israel? Tell us why she helped fund BLM who caused $Billions of damage in Minneapolis, and he VP pick had the police shoot paint balls at people sitting on their own front porches.
Please add to your list, what happens to the Medicare/Medicaid Trust Fund that is being depleted due to the "free government benefits" that Biden-Harris have given these millions of illegal migrants" What also happens if Harris, despite her newest claim to want the border wall completed and other measures to stop this influx, reneges on these promises and continues the open border policies that will add millions more illegal migrants with promises of "free government benefits."
Just remember the primary rule when judging the nation’s socialist left: They always accuse the Pro-freedom side of what they are doing to confuse the public.
So, when they make dictatorship accusations, remember that they want to make the first move of every dictator: CONFISCATING GUNS.
Donald Trump is on the opposite, Pro-freedom tack.
Also remember that our ‘lovable’ Nazis of the left try to sell gun confiscation based on the idea of safety – except that even in places where guns are banned, people are being stabbed.
So, all they need to do is get rid of anything that can be used to make a knife – metal, glass, plastic, hard candy, wood, ceramic, etc. and we’ll all be ‘safe’ .. aside from the threat of the government with guns..
It is not that i have faith in Trump - my faith pretty much is in God - but I am forced to support Trump because of who the Dems pick to run against him - an 80 year old sadly in decline and a woman who has nothing to recommend her. Now if the Dems would give us a JFK, or an RFK senior, or even Truman. Trump would not get my vote. But come on - do you think that this white woman of 87 who was born when FDR was Preisident will vote for her because she is a woman or because of the color of her skin?> >Give me an black Eleanor Roosevelt and she will get my vote.
Your cynical cracks are quite nasty!!! Seemingly aimed to be hurtful, demeaning, and deflating.
You made a similar crack to my recent post in support of Trump and RFK et al. If I could find it I’d respond - but scrolling through takes too long - so I’m responding here.
I can’t help but wonder if you’re working for Kamala...
If I come off as cynical, it is because I live in the real world, not the world that I wish for, but the one that is.
I have zero intention of voting for Harris. That said, it doesn't matter what I want and I do not operate under the comforting illusion that "my side" is winning because, after all, it's my side.
Do you really think the election is Harris’ to lose? I understand the logic, but I still think it’s up in the air and there is still a lot of time for momentum to change. And I think RFK and Tulsi endorsing Trump will help him.
Long story short, notice how Trump got relatively little bounce form the assassination attempt, and Biden lost support as a result of his debate fiasco, but Trump support did not increase.
Not only does Team D currently have momentum, Trump likely has all the voters that he is going to get.
n.bl. I have precisely zero intention of voting for Harris.
A lot can happen in approx 10 weeks. It’s not over till it’s over. As one recently assured of voting for Trump due to RFK Jr’s joining with him, I think there will be more and more who decide to vote for Trump and his newly expanded team!!
He’s shown he the “bigger man” by actually having an open mind and open heart!! My guess is that most of the millions of voters who helped RFK Jr get on the ballot - against all odds - will give their votes to Trump. They’re waaay too smart to vote for the sham that is Kamala Harris.
Despite being a huge fan of RFK Jr and deeply wanting him to be our POTUS, this is the first time I’ve felt some real hope for our country’s future.🤞💙🙏
Yeah I know. If I had to bet on the election, I’d probably put my money on Harris, unfortunately. But I still remain hopeful. I thought Hillary would win easily and look what happened…
I think the big difference is in the election/voting process. They (DNC/"powers that be")pulled out all stops in 2020 to insure 2016 did NOT happen again!
It's inconcevable to me that any rational person would be falling for the bag of tricks that has become the DNC/MSM... same thing. After enduring RussiaRussiaRussia, Very fine people, Alfa bank, daily ritualistic implanting Fascist in the brains of wishy washy people, Hunterbiden laptop, 51 Intell experts, Afghan was a succes, Infaltion isn't real, joe is COGENT, best he's ever been, needs to be on mt rushmore.... how can there still be people so ignorant and gullible? It almost seems willful and intentional at this point, sorta like a 9th grade mean girl's nyeh nyey Neyah!
This should be a real eye opener, this "interview" with Bash. I guess we'll know what flavor of ice cream Tim likes and which brand of pant suits Kamala is sporting this election season
Doug- it is absolutely willful! I've been trying to analyze why so many of my VERY INTELLIGENT friends and family have serious TDS. For some of them I think it is really a need to be w/ the tribe. I think they are afraid to go against the grain. For those who seem to have enough confidence to stand on their own- well I think they have been brainwashed- going back to their college days!
Sasha, you may be familiar w/ Theo’s backstory given his first splash into tinsel town on MTV’s Road Rules. I’ll drop this here for those who are not. The first 10min give Theo’s challenging background and why to me, who’s older than Theo but also had some childhood trauma can totally relate to him. It’s also what makes him such a brilliant stand up comic. He did stand up to prove that he could do the hardest thing in the industry.
His take on the Trump Interview process at Bedminster was hilarious. “The grass went to Supercuts” and “Having enough money where the birds don’t shit on you.” I was in tears.
I immediately remembered walking in downtown Boston in my suit and tie eating a slice of pizza and a bird literally shit on my shoulder. Oh my god, i didn’t know I was poor. 😂😂
God Bless You, Sasha Stone!!!💜🙏💜
They are definitely NOT tracking folks recently pulled into MAGA because these folks aren't public about anything, mainly out of fear of pushback. That attitude is starting to recede here in MN.

There is only a very very few journalistic people I can trust now most put their ideology first and foremost.

This should be BIG NEWS!! Should be an investigative story on 60 Minutes - of course they’d never touch it.
so...uh not charismatic?

Two words. Taped interview.

Well, that one is already baked in the cake.
No,
Donald Trump is on the opposite, Pro-freedom tack.
Also remember that our ‘lovable’ Nazis of the left try to sell gun confiscation based on the idea of safety – except that even in places where guns are banned, people are being stabbed.
So, all they need to do is get rid of anything that can be used to make a knife – metal, glass, plastic, hard candy, wood, ceramic, etc. and we’ll all be ‘safe’ .. aside from the threat of the government with guns..
LOL. Your faith in Trump is touching.
It is not that i have faith in Trump - my faith pretty much is in God - but I am forced to support Trump because of who the Dems pick to run against him - an 80 year old sadly in decline and a woman who has nothing to recommend her. Now if the Dems would give us a JFK, or an RFK senior, or even Truman. Trump would not get my vote. But come on - do you think that this white woman of 87 who was born when FDR was Preisident will vote for her because she is a woman or because of the color of her skin?> >Give me an black Eleanor Roosevelt and she will get my vote.
Your cynical cracks are quite nasty!!! Seemingly aimed to be hurtful, demeaning, and deflating.
You made a similar crack to my recent post in support of Trump and RFK et al. If I could find it I’d respond - but scrolling through takes too long - so I’m responding here.
I can’t help but wonder if you’re working for Kamala...
I should have added - silly cat! - that Harris cultists regularly accuse me of being a Trump supporter.
I prefer to think for myself, and not let team or tribe do my thinking for me.
If I come off as cynical, it is because I live in the real world, not the world that I wish for, but the one that is.
I have zero intention of voting for Harris. That said, it doesn't matter what I want and I do not operate under the comforting illusion that "my side" is winning because, after all, it's my side.
So, are you a supporter of the nation’s socialist left?
The people who cannot be honest about anything?
Try to avoid false dichotomies.
The cake is poison.
So what, as long as it works?
Do you really think the election is Harris’ to lose? I understand the logic, but I still think it’s up in the air and there is still a lot of time for momentum to change. And I think RFK and Tulsi endorsing Trump will help him.
Long story short, notice how Trump got relatively little bounce form the assassination attempt, and Biden lost support as a result of his debate fiasco, but Trump support did not increase.
Not only does Team D currently have momentum, Trump likely has all the voters that he is going to get.
n.bl. I have precisely zero intention of voting for Harris.
A lot can happen in approx 10 weeks. It’s not over till it’s over. As one recently assured of voting for Trump due to RFK Jr’s joining with him, I think there will be more and more who decide to vote for Trump and his newly expanded team!!
He’s shown he the “bigger man” by actually having an open mind and open heart!! My guess is that most of the millions of voters who helped RFK Jr get on the ballot - against all odds - will give their votes to Trump. They’re waaay too smart to vote for the sham that is Kamala Harris.
Despite being a huge fan of RFK Jr and deeply wanting him to be our POTUS, this is the first time I’ve felt some real hope for our country’s future.🤞💙🙏
Sounds like wishful thinking.
If betting odds are to be believed, Harris is winning.
Yeah I know. If I had to bet on the election, I’d probably put my money on Harris, unfortunately. But I still remain hopeful. I thought Hillary would win easily and look what happened…
I have thought that as well. I suppose the difference between Trump in 2016 and in 2024 is that Trump was less of a known quantity.
Still, that's why they have elections.
I think the big difference is in the election/voting process. They (DNC/"powers that be")pulled out all stops in 2020 to insure 2016 did NOT happen again!
If we take that as given, what's to prevent a repeat?
I've seen multiple stories that the only ones concerned Que Mala isn't doing interviews are Republicans and the media
She’s behind.
Keep telling yourself that.
It's inconcevable to me that any rational person would be falling for the bag of tricks that has become the DNC/MSM... same thing. After enduring RussiaRussiaRussia, Very fine people, Alfa bank, daily ritualistic implanting Fascist in the brains of wishy washy people, Hunterbiden laptop, 51 Intell experts, Afghan was a succes, Infaltion isn't real, joe is COGENT, best he's ever been, needs to be on mt rushmore.... how can there still be people so ignorant and gullible? It almost seems willful and intentional at this point, sorta like a 9th grade mean girl's nyeh nyey Neyah!
This should be a real eye opener, this "interview" with Bash. I guess we'll know what flavor of ice cream Tim likes and which brand of pant suits Kamala is sporting this election season
Doug- it is absolutely willful! I've been trying to analyze why so many of my VERY INTELLIGENT friends and family have serious TDS. For some of them I think it is really a need to be w/ the tribe. I think they are afraid to go against the grain. For those who seem to have enough confidence to stand on their own- well I think they have been brainwashed- going back to their college days!
This has been going on for years with the liberal media. They are a wing of the Democratic Party. It is just more blatant now with Kamala's campaign.
Sasha, you may be familiar w/ Theo’s backstory given his first splash into tinsel town on MTV’s Road Rules. I’ll drop this here for those who are not. The first 10min give Theo’s challenging background and why to me, who’s older than Theo but also had some childhood trauma can totally relate to him. It’s also what makes him such a brilliant stand up comic. He did stand up to prove that he could do the hardest thing in the industry.

His take on the Trump Interview process at Bedminster was hilarious. “The grass went to Supercuts” and “Having enough money where the birds don’t shit on you.” I was in tears.
I immediately remembered walking in downtown Boston in my suit and tie eating a slice of pizza and a bird literally shit on my shoulder. Oh my god, i didn’t know I was poor. 😂😂
If s/elected, Kamala Harris will be the first school girl president. She has the intellectual and emotional maturity of a 15 year old girl.
