    From RFK Jr's speech today:

    "In Chicago, a string of Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times, just on the first day. Who needs policy when you have Trump to hate? In contrast, at the RNC convention, President Biden was mentioned only twice in four days."

    Nails...

    She sure as hell did:

    "If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota," Harris posted on X, then Twitter, back in 2020, urging people to donate to the fund during the 2020 campaign.

    Remember when you were trying to claim how terrible having Kennedy in the race was for Democrats? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

    You can say this as many times as you want and it changes nothing. This election is going to be a referendum on Trump. As it will be until the day he fades away. You can vote for the maniac who refuses to accept democracy and election results. Or you can vote for one of the rational adults. Harris has my full support. The Republicans will not get another vote out of me until they purge the party of Trump and his minions.

    Seems like RFK's words sting you. How has Trump refused to accept democracy?

    Thought you were referencing something relevant, like from last night. I guess this means it’s probably a good time to being up another thing that happened about that time … like January 6…

    I would love to continue the back and forth, but you'll just keep moving the goal posts. We get it. Orange Man bad. So Kamala can do whatever she wants, even if it involves bailing criminals out of jail who are burning down major U.S. cities. It's almost like she could shoot somebody in broad daylight and you'd still support her.

    Moving goal posts?! That’s hilarious. We are talking about her speech last night and you bring up something that you allege she said in 2020. To me, your law-and-order ire is laughably hypocritical. You have been one of the most vocal supporters of a guy who has a storied history of breaking laws—long before he ever took office, starting with his serial fraudulent business practices, bankruptcies and creditor-stiffing. In fact, if memory serves me, you’re the guy who called such actions “smart business.” But despite Trump’s legion of law-evading business practices—some so loathsome to include stealing from charities—you have the temerity to call someone else out for wanting to assist those on the painful side of racial injustice

    But, let me be clear on my proclivities. It is not so much that I support Kamala as much as I will never support Trump. Trump has earned by non-support, time after time after time.

    You are clearly free to support Trump. Everyone has choices. But please, step off your low-riding “high horse” in equating Harris stepping up for people of color 4 years ago, particularly when your idol is hosting a BANQUET to raise money for the January 6 felons.

    The projection schtick doesn’t work with me. Hate to see you waste your time like this.

    Hammer…

    Kennedy’s claim about Biden mentions at the Republican National Convention is not even close to true. A New York Times analysis of all the speeches at the RNC found that the word “Biden” was spoken a total of 393 times. The Republican vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance, said the word “Biden” 12 times in his own convention speech.

    Fact check: RFK Jr. claimed Biden was mentioned just twice at the RNC. It was nearly 400 times | CNN Politics


    Should replace Cat Lady pronto.

    I get partisan stuff, name calling etc.
    But you probably shouldn't joke about Soviet - or even present era - Russian politics/media to try and get a dig in.

    People literally disappear and die in fear of speaking out over there. Never, ever lose sight of the fact you don't live in a country like that, nor will it ever be.

    How did you possibly think that was true? I’m really curious.

    Yeah, she's going to build a wall again. Deport all the illegal immigrants again. Repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act again.

    Could do this all day.

    Gotta just hope that if Trump is elected, there isn't another pandemic; "It will be gone in two weeks again! Derrrrr......"

    Do folks really think Kennedy is rational. Sure sounds good in sound bites, then you look at his history of nonsense. Crazier than a sprayed roach.

    Just baffling how dumb / uninformed of a nation we are
