    Nate isn’t infallible.

    that said, we are so screwed if people can’t see past Kamala’s kabuki campaign.

    She doesn’t care. You can tell by how she “clarified” it.

    Trump scored an own goal with Vance.

    Kamala may have forfeited the game with Walz.

    My take is same as yours:  Kamala runs the basement strategy and wins because the media wants her to.

    She did say that she would have her people put together a presser by the end of the month…

    Made my day. I wish I had known about it before he died.

    “Are you ready to receive my limp penis” belongs in the annals of trash talk.

    Just got a D fundraising email from Gavin Newsome with the subject line “Trump was not prepared for this.”

    It’s a funny reflection. I don’t think anybody really thought Kamala was a viable candidate even just 3 weeks ago. Nobody was prepared for this, Democrats.

    I should add a 10 cent per reply charge to this website.  Junk fees for the win.

    He’s an interesting profile. I would probably vote for him if he were at the top of the ticket right now.

    That said, he presents a challenge for Kamala because he’s very pro Israel.

    I’m ready.  There are plenty of women who have been in the conversation that I would have voted for.  Condi is one.  Haley is one.

    It would be a stunning rise and fall for Vance if he were to “resign” because of the badgering over a few stupid comments 3+ years ago.  I’m actually stunned more by the media’s ability to turn “cat ladies” into an everywoman offense vs. just a cat woman offense.  Trump was never going to win the cat ladies.

    That said, I think Trump screwed up by not picking Haley as VP nom.  In the hardcore Trumper circles Haley is viewed as disloyal and in the pockets of the neocons.  I think that’s way too politically naive.

    There ought to be a law against this.

    I also would pass a law preventing or capping remittances to countries from whence asylum seekers come.  Why should you be compelled to send cash back to a country that is persecuting you?

    I don’t know what to say except that France is a far less stable society than people think. Get off the beaten path and bad things can happen.

    A friend who is a PhD scientist and businessman had to visit a smaller city in France about 7 years ago on business. He was out in the evening and was approached by a group of middle eastern youths. One of them knifed him in the face without warning. Truly maimed him. Awful story.

    A theory:  women can get away with more controversial and anti-patriotic swagger than men because women get a pass for doing stupid stuff more than men.

    It’s a bit like the comedian bill burr’s bit on white women and activism. For some reason, white women are in a different category than white men when it comes to offenses of racial iniquity even though they have ridden right along with white men.  Why?  Unclear.

    Information is being laundered massively around Kamala.  The memory hole is in full effect.

    I think as Kamala’s background comes out more clearly to folks there will be a lot of consternation.  If you haven’t seen any segments of it, the Judge Joe Brown interview gives an insider’s view of how black men might view Kamala.

    In the YouTube: Start at 4:45 for Brown’s views of Harris.

    I think the identity part of Kamala is almost offensive to the intent of identity politics.  Her “blackness” is from a slaveowning family in Jamaica, and her Indo-Asian-ness is from an elite Indian caste.  Now, I’m not judging, but some folks will say “wait just a minute” on this when they learn more.

    I think the most squirrely portion of the electorate will be white women.  Kamala plays well to white women because, well, she ain’t black as Joe would say.  She’s the Coke Zero of blackness.

    This last few days has been one of the most fascinating displays of how the mass media can be steered on a dime to a new narrative.  Kamala is suddenly an Obama-level savior.  It’s amazing and it will fade.  Her politics have something for everybody to hate.
