Two Harris statements that are causing my face to contort between laughing and eyerolling:

1) "I'll show Donald Trump what real leadership is!". It has been the Biden/HARRIS* administration for nearly four years. You've had ample time to show the leadership you claim (in this case, the context was making the border secure).

2) "Say it to my face!". Do you even have the slightest inkling of who Donald Trump is? Saying it "to your face" is like his whole shtick.  :rofl:


* I still always crack up over this. AFAIK, there has never been a previous administration that labeled itself the "P/VP administration". I think the closest has been the "co-presidency" of Clinton/Clinton.

They're going to try to run another basement campaign, with as little public exposure, and then only in carefully chosen venues, as possible.
 
I'm figuring on massive voter fraud. Because "anything is okay" when you're dealing with an actual ________.

Who's going to tell her that's far more reasonable and far less extreme than her own party's platform?

From the results so far, it looks like Cori Bush is losing her primary. I helped.  =)

Bell has been trying to look like a "progressive Trump."
 
And it appears to have worked... Let's see if he actually does anything.
 
So, he's going to be the new congresscritter (St. Louis is dem machine - the primary is all that matters).

We have talked about Valentina Gomez (Running for Missouri SecState) before.  Her brand seems to be "IDGAF, *expletive deleted*ck the wokies."

Apparently she took some time off on the day of the Primary to act as the bait in a pedo sting:

https://x.com/iFightForKids/status/1820984827425800433

The arrest is real and can be found on Story County, IA's website:  https://centraliowa.policetocitizen.com/inmates/catalog

It looks as if she lost the Primary, sadly.

You guys don’t understand, it’s all because HE CARES


Well that’s what my former friend and classmate who’s from MN posted. I just blocked her. She wrote off the post Floyd pillage of MN with that and then compared it to the horrors of Jan 6.

I like to read Stephen Kruiser's "Morning Briefing" every weekday, and today he had a pretty good description of the Democrats', um, number 2. He calls Tim Waltz the "approved chaperone/babysitter for Kamala Harris."

Well played, Mr. Kruiser.

This image is making the rounds all over Reddit. I'm interested in APS.mil.guys opinion on this. Right off the bat, shouldn't there be a GWOT medal for Vance? Also, Sergeant is speeled wrong.

I was never in the military, but are those all service medals that everyone gets or are they for specific actions?

One served honorably then got out, and only many years later went into politics.

The other served as a blue falcon, then cut and run on the verge of deployment specifically to run for run for office.
