After we stop dancing in the streets!
Reality is…… Joe Biden has a tough act to follow that few if any of the other guys have had to deal with….
Donald J. Trump….
Biden….
Is gonna have to tackle the virus fall out that Trump ignored….
Biden is then gonna have to get the nation’s economy going….
He and his Vice President and cabinet will try to claw back TONS of Trump miscues, while putting the government back together…
And he’s gonna have to deal with a
Congress shat imply CANNOT handle too many things at once….
And PLEASE understand Biden is NOT gonna do a Lot of what he’s promised…
President’s HAVE been told to slow things down going to Congress in the past…That’s even if their party has a majority in both parties….
Oh, and Who KNOW”s what Donald Trump will do after AP and the networks announce he’s lost?
There are 10 weeks between Election Day and the change in administrations ….
Joe Biden wants to address health care disparities, toughen gun control, overhaul policing, provide free community college, erase student loan debt, invest in green energy and improve the nation’s infrastructure.
But that’s just the start. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has also proposed measures to help Americans buy their first homes, raise the federal minimum wage and boost taxes on the wealthy and corporations. That’s to say nothing of his massive plans tied to the coronavirus.
The reams of proposals reflect Biden’s belief that the nation faces immense challenges that require a far-reaching government response not seen since the New Deal. It marks a contrast with President Donald Trump, who has struggled to articulate his second-term plans and has sometimes said the coronavirus will simply go away. But such ambition may inevitably lead to disappointment.
At a time of unprecedented gridlock, even some fellow Democrats warn Biden’s lengthy to-do list faces long odds in Congress….
…
Obama came into office with a significant House and Senate majority, and Democrats still underwent months of legislative wrangling — sometimes among themselves — to hammer out a health care bill that would clear the Senate.
“It’s so hard to get an agreement on something that big and broad, because of all the little things in it and all the little ways that minority can attack every little piece,” Stewart said. “Between Obamacare and the stimulus, by July of Obama’s first year, he went from walking on water to completely upside-down.”
…
Biden representatives already have held preliminary discussions with top House and Senate Democrats about what to prioritize, according to campaign and congressional aides.
While any transition of power can be jarring — particularly between two presidents of opposite parties — the shift from President Trump to Biden would be among the most head-snapping in American history. There is still a long campaign to run, with scaled-back party conventions next month and three debates expected in the fall, but Biden more and more lately has talked about, strategized over and begun planning for what he would do on Day 1, according to his aides and a review of his public statements…

Hermain Cain Dies from Coronavirus
July 30, 2020 at 10:32 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 200 Comments
Herman Cain, the 2012 Republican presidential candidate, died after a monthlong battle with the coronavirus, Newsmax reports.
Ten days before he tested positive, Cain had attended a rally for President Trump in Tulsa, Oklahoma and did not wear a face mask…
Politicalwire…
Mitt Romney:
“Saddened that Herman Cain—a formidable champion of business, politics and policy—has lost his battle with Covid. St. Peter will soon hear “999!” Keep up the fight, my friend.”
Right wingers on my local CBS affiliate Facebook page are claiming Cain was suffering from stage 4 cancer and he died of that not Covid.
His cancer did not prevent him from traveling to Oklahoma to attend a Trump rally.
Maybe it should have,
RIP
He had cancer years ago not currently. Even his own website is saying he died of Covid 19.
That doesn’t beat the new conspiracy theory that a months old video from the primary of Joe Biden wearing sunglasses being sort of pulled along by his granddaughter away from reporters is proof that Biden is no longer able to function without a nurse at his side.

Five weeks later, it appears Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D) has defeated Suraj Patel (D) by ~3,700 votes in the #NY12 primary.
But 12k+ absentees out of 65k+ cast were invalidated (mostly for being late/lacking postmark) and I still don’t see new results posted by an official source.
Morning People….
A new Public Policy Polling survey in Minnesota finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the presidential race, 52% to 42%.
The Trump campaign has suggested Minnesota might be competitive this year.
Politicalwire
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said he will take an anti-malaria drug that experts have warned doesn’t treat the coronavirus after he tested positive for the virus, Newsweek reports.
Said Gohmert: “My doctor and I are all-in.”..

Trump propagandist Tucker Carlson has labeled Barack Obama as one of the “sleaziest “ Presidents .
Carlson apparently sees no irony in a Trump cultist accusing anyone else in the wor today of uh
“Sleaze.”
If u are gonna hack somebody?
I wouldn’t advise ya to mess with people in the media spotlight….
The feds have caught up with the guys that hack ed Obama , Biden , Bloomberg and others
I’ve seen reports that Rep. Karen Bass has made friendly and supportive remarks regarding Scientology.
That could be a bigger problem for her chances of being the VP candidate than her nice words for Fidel.
It would be for Tom Cruise.
wouldn’t be.. whatever
This Bass story is everywhere now. You have to wonder which other potential Dem VP hopeful had their camp drop this oppo research for public consumption.
Earlier this week I said that Duckworth or Bass sounded like a menu option. I should add that they both come with a side of Rice.
Yup…..
This is for the VP spot and possibility the next Democratic President ….
Again….
Harris and Rice should get jobs for Biden no matter what….
With this?
Bass is no longer a contender for the VP nomination.
Good Morning Everyone….
Never was….
Yes she was being given serious consideration and was being pushed by several party figures ( see former DNC Chair Ed Rendell) as well as the Congressional Black caucus as the choice.
Bass flameout info….
VP Candidate Heaped Praise on Scientology
Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), a leading contender to be Joe Biden’s running mate, heaped praise on the Church of Scientology at a 2010 ribbon-cutting ceremony for a Los Angeles facility, the Daily Caller reports.
Bass has offered an explanation of her remarks.
Essentially ,she claims that she was simply welcoming a new building to her district and spoke of shared human values.
She noted that she herself was a Baptist and that since those remarks things have come out about Scientology that weren’t known at the time.
In my view ,Biden probably would wish to avoid getting entangled in this.
I agree
And Gross sounds like…..

Post coming!…
Morning…
Trump does a another interview and just shows how much he’s in another universe…
Thank You DSD!
We need people to come out and VOTE…
Yes we do. Too bad some failed to vote in the primary.
Very funny Keith…
Trump spokesman Brian Kilmeade(officially a Fox News “personality” but the terms can be used interchangeably) has announced that Joe Biden has the “Communist vote.”
Kilmeade somehow manages to be even dumber than he looks.
Not an easy feat
Well, then, he must also have the “anarchist, marxist, socialist, agitator” vote. After all, daddy Trump has the “3K vote” in the bag.
All of Trump’s enablers, Giuliani, Barr, Chad Wolfe and others, use the same language.
He, he, he…..
Biden has the communist vote?
Who is buddies with ‘communist ‘ Russia’s exKGB leader ?
Theses guys really ARE stupid…
Perhaps Trump may have the vote of the citizens here who have a personal loyalty to Vladimir Putin, but obviously those who identify as Communists and, if they vote and decide to make a choice between the major parties, would prefer the Democrat to Republican in our elections. It has never been otherwise.
Yeah and the Nazis prefer the Republicans.
Yiheeeee!
I do not think there are very many Nazis or Communists who will vote and choose between the major parties. Both adhere to various kinds of socialism though, so it may not be cut and dry. Clearly, more Klan members would vote for Trump than Biden, but of course Republicans in the past were far more vocal in rebuking the Klan.
This guys comment’s are throwaways …
The Klan in the 1920s enrolled millions of members and became a political power.In the south where The Democratic Party predominated,the Klan was most active among Democrats.In the midwestern states where Republicans predominated the Klan worked mostly in that party.
During the civil rights era in the south the Klan continued to work through the Democratic Party.That began to change in 1964 when Lyndon Johnson ,a southerner ,shepherded the civil rights bill through Congress.Then at the Republican Convention that year a platform plank that condemned the Klan (along with the Communist Party and the John Birch Society ) was defeated and the Klan overwhelmingly backed Barry Goldwater for President.
The Klan began a long decline and now is nothing of consequence on the national stage
However a blanket statement as to the Republicans having been more “vocal” in rebuking the Klan?
Unless one is speaking of Reconstruction days 150 years ago Is not accurate .
The more accurate statement is that both parties have,at various times ,received Klan support.
I took CGs comment to mean Republicans in the past were more vocal in rebuking the Klan than Trump. Not that they were more vocal in rebuking the Klan than the Democrats.
“more vocal” in the past as compared to under Trump, who denied having heard of David Duke and would not immediately rebuke his support.
Back in the day (roughly 1890 to 1960, although I need to check), the Republican platform nearly always included an anti-lynching plank that the Democrats resolutely failed to include until at least Harry Truman’s day.
The Republican platform also ritually included a plank for the Equal Rights (regardless of sex)Amendment from the 1940’s into the 1960’s or
1970’s]
¶ As for the red radical vote for Biden, I’m highly upset that my own comrades in the non-communist Democratic Socialists of America (at around 100,000 members infinitely more significant than the various Communist groups that still survive have declared that they will NOT (in fact, sorry Fox News) endorse Joe Biden for President. See:

People Live Longer In Blue States
“Weak environmental protections, safety rules and labor and civil rights protections may be cutting lives short in conservative states and deepening the divide between red and blue states,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
“Since the mid-1980s, the gap among U.S. states in how long their residents live has widened, reversing decades of progress toward greater equality.”
“Rice has personal experience relating to people who disagree fundamentally with her politics.
“I have a 23-year-old son whom I love dearly, whose politics are very, very different from my own and from the rest of our family,” she explained. “My son and I will have some robust disagreements over some matters of policy, not all. And yet, at the end of the day, you know, I love him dearly and he loves me.”
Rice said she believes, for her family and country, it comes down to finding areas of agreement and respecting people with differing political views.
“We agree, for example, on the importance of the United States playing a responsible, principled leadership role in the world,” she said of her son. “We agree on the importance of having strong alliances. We agree we have to be cleareyed and strong in dealing with adversaries like Russia and the threat that China may pose. We disagree on things like choice. I’m pro-choice. He’s pro-life. That’s the kind of difference that we ought to be able to respect.”
https://www.npr.org/2020/08/04/898878827/touting-her-experience-susan-rice-makes-her-case-for-bidens-vp-slot
Would this be enough? I think it is a fine statement but it might not satisfy some. It is interesting how she has to point out that she and her son DO agree on some things. The way she described him, I could be her son, instead of her son being a pro-Trump activist.
Well you, Trump., and Rice’s son probably agree on 95% of issues. Not surprising. You are all conservative Republicans.
Nah. I posted Rice’s son manifesto. I think I agreed with 5.5 of the 10 points.
and when I have taken “who do you agree with most” quizzes, my number with Trump is *way* below 95.
CG would like us to believe that his differences with Trump are largely ideological. Yet he has struggled to identify these ideological differences – other than free trade and foreign policy. I think it bothers him that his core values are remarkably similar to those of Trump. So his defense mechanism is that Trump is a secret Democrat.
I have a lot of ideological differences with Trump. One has to remember as well though that with the exception of being anti-trade, Trump does not have any core convictions of his own and has been on every side of every issue.
I have also always said that even if I agreed 100 percent with the policy agenda laid out by Trump, I could not look past a disqualification in character.
So Trump doesn’t have any “core convictions”–so what?
He appointed Supreme Court justices that you very much approve of as well as tax cuts for the rich that you also support.
I don’t really give a damn what he cares about.
By and large what he does is universally applauded by Republicans.
And we all gotta live with the consequences of what he does to be loved.
Should say “what he does to be loved by the GOP base”.
He clearly isn’t loved by most of America. Not that Trump cares about the part of America that is not the GOP base.
Trump doesn’t care about the GOP base either.
Trump cares about Trump.
But he gets them results. The rest of us he tells to pound sand
Results? Last I heard he was feeling angered and betrayed by Kavanaugh and Gorsuch and his acolytes were turning against them online.
But besides for judicial nominations (“thank you Senator McConnell”), he has gotten zero accomplished.
Tax cuts for the rich. The ultimate definition of accomplishment in any GOP Dictionary
Taxes were cut across the board but nowhere near as strong of a package as a regular Republican could have gotten.
On the policy front (even the promises that we have tended to dislike), Trump has been an incompetent failure.
And plenty more that I disagree with. A Presidency goes far beyond judicial nominations or any one specific piece of legislation. The Presidency is supposed to primarily be a position of moral leadership.
Again though, even if I was in 100 percent agreement with him, it would not matter to me.
Good Early Morning …..
Storm should be by u DSD?
We’re good here
Some people lost power and a lot of trees down…
Republicans are now actively engaged in the Kanye West “campaign.”
This is so “Republican.”
Find a well known Black .Get him to run .Siphon off Black votes from the Democrat.It gives “transparency “ a bad name.The fact that they’re using a man that quite apparently has some emotional issues makes it all the more despicable.
I guess this is the new Republican “outreach” effort to minorities.
The “squad” continues to expand with the election of Cori Bush (CG must absolutely love her name!) in I think Scoot’s congressional district. I can’t understand why James was silent on this?
I did not follow this race at all so I don’t really have an opinion, but I do feel it is critical that progressive voices be heard in Congress. Saving the earth, economic justice, racial justice- we need those voices in our elected officials now more than ever.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) successfully defended her seat in Michigan’s 13th District on Tuesday, fending off a primary challenge from former Rep. Brenda Joes (D-Mich.)….
More…
…
Progressive Cori Bush scored a stunning upset victory over longtime Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay in the Democratic House primary in Missouri’s 1st District on Tuesday.
Bush defeated Clay, who has held the seat for nearly two decades, with 49 percent of the votes and all precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press.
More…
Yes Zreebs this is my district. I was kind of agnostic on this race until the last few days. Clay ran an ad comparing Cori Bush to Trump over some silliness regarding fundraising for the church she was pastor of. A low blow to be sure, and Clay being there 20 years and his dad for 32 years before it was time for MO-1 to have some new representation.
Without looking it up Clay beat Bush in the 2018 primary by about 15 points I think so I really didn’t give her much chance this time, but things were definitely turning her way in the last days of the campaign.
Democratic primary turnout was WAY up in Missouri over the August primary four years ago–536,000 cast a Dem ballot this year compared to 325,000 in 2016
First the Post Office and now the Census.
Pretty clearly for political reasons, the Census Bureau has foreshortened its deadline for finishing its count from October 31st to September 30th.
Guess who’s most likely not to be counted?
It’s a shame if not a scandal because Americans trust and rely not only on the judiciary but also on career executive agencies like the F.B.I., the Postal Service and the Census Bureau (as well as the E.P.A., the C.D.C., the C.I.A. and the armed services) to act and report impartially and apolitically.
Well, let’s hope that those on this site who believe that Republicans will behave differently AFTER the election are right.
Yea DSD…
They ARE gonna try EVERYTHING they can to suppress the vote….
Except in Florida?….
Sure they are.
It’s all they’ve got left.
It’s laughable to suggest that aRepublican can even win a plurality ,much less a majority of the votes in this country.
Most of the people in this country don’t want a Republican in the White House.
They even know that.
They increasingly are becoming a crypto authoritarian party dedicated to holding onto power for powers sake.
They have no core beliefs anymore.All they possess is an almost irrational rage against “them damn libruls.”
Do you mean Trump or any Republican?
I understand the reality is that Trump is the nominee of Republicans (at least at the moment), but I do not think you mean to suggest that Biden would certainly defeat any Republican.
and of course everyone should remember that the polls at this stage in 2016 and later looked pretty bad for Trump too.
Don’t take anything for granted.
Of course, I will suggest as I have that it is harder for an incumbent to pull of a “comeback” and that Biden is less disliked than Hillary was.
Biden’s performance in arguing with an African-American reporter on CBS this morning and asking him if he were a “junkie” was another embarrassing moment for Biden. He seems not to be able to help himself. Very few people likely saw it though.
When your opponent is Donald Trump?
“Embarrassments” becomes a relative term.
I mean in Trumps world what you describe as an “embarrassment?”
Is an hourly SOP.
Yeah Trump embarrasses himself a lot and Biden does it more often than he should as well. As President, Biden is likely to be more visible and continue to do so.
A lot?
What an understatement!
It’s tens of times a day…
And that’s not even counting the blatant lies.
Trump has told more lies in one day than Bidens “embarrassments “ over the past twenty years.
That thing you brought up earlier was nothing as compared to Trump and you know it
I know you don’t care about it because a D is a D, but what Biden did on tv today was very Trumpian. It’s certainly not the first time either. He has been having these outbursts for decades.
But you want him to win right?
“Embarrassments “ and all?
So once again?
What point exactly are you making?
If one didn’t know better?
One would think you are let me see?
Ah yes….
An R being an R
Yes, I want him to win, and like many Americans, I want him as President to be far less visible and talked about than the current occupant.
He can show up and give speeches for the big formal events of course.
Yeah ok.
Another useless back and forth.
I’m more concerned about getting rid of your party’s “gift” to our nation than worrying about some future mishap by an as yet elected President Biden.
Well, one step at a time,,, but as you concede, this election is not a “done deal” and the Biden that went on tv today and dealt with a softball question by inferring that a black journalist might be on cocaine was not useful for the cause.
And your daily recitation of anything can happen has gotten rather boring.
I’m unaware of anyone who has declared Trump a sure loser.We have stated our opinion that he will likely lose.Youve said the same thing.
So?
Your 2;02 post seemed overly declarative.
It speaks for itself.
The reality is Trump is running as the Republican and people seem ready to vote against him.
We can be somewhat declarative within those parameters but suggesting that “the people don’t want a Republican” is going a bit far. They don’t want Trump.
We see very high approval numbers, the highest in the nation, for Governors like Hogan, Baker, and some others.
Yes, they are not the Presidential nominee and perhaps never could be, but if we are going to speculate the way you did, we would probably have to admit they would be ahead of Biden.
Your “speculation “ of course.
And as you reluctantly concede,Baker and Hogan have as much chance of ever being the Republican nominee as John Bel Edwards or Joe Manchin have of being the Democratic nominee.
So if you wish to dangerousness in those type daydreams?
Have AT It!
Engage
Manchin would be too old, but in theory, if the Democrats ever were embarrass enough in defeat and desperate enough to make amends, perhaps a John Bel Edwards type could be a possibility.
We will see what happens. I would of course prefer a traditional Pro-Life conservative such as the types I have supported in Presidential primaries before.
The point I was making ,as you well know ,is that the polarization in both parties is such that none of these four ,nor anyone like them could be nominated by either party
Maybe we don’t like it.
However it is the reality.
Accordingly ,such speculations are the stuff of counter factual daydreams rather than anything serious.
Your 2:02 post seems to go against things you said in a discussion with ronnievans.
Americans apparently are done with Trump. They do not view Trump interchangeably with the Republican Party though. They are wanting something different than Trump but does mean they are moving way to the left or rejecting Republican governance in general.
Where Republican governance has been effectively executed it has been popular, even in pretty liberal states.
I watched this interview. As I recall the reporter asked Biden if he had taken a cognitive test, and Biden said, “why would I want to do that?” He (Biden) then went on to say that asking him that question was like asking if he was a junkie.
A silly comparison, but the way I heard it he wasn’t asking if the interviewer was a junkie.
I agree with Jack, these issues are much ado.
Now the Trump campaign is claiming that Biden had agreed to take a cognitive test, but that isn’t true. As Biden said, he can identify an Elephant. He also believes in science.
“No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man,” Biden told CBS News correspondent Errol Barnett in an interview airing in full on Thursday at the convention of the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists. “That’s like saying you, before you got in this program, you’re taking a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think, huh? Are you a junkie?”
Again, an awkward exchange, but if you watch the interview he was making the comparison to himself (Biden) not asking if the interviewer was a junkie. His point, asking that question was like asking if he were a junkie. Silly, but hardly insulting or in anyway a comparison to Trump’s performance yesterday or this morning.
But, this is much ado. Sort of like trying to pin the decline of Western Civilization on the fact that Ted Kennedy once had sex on the floor with a waitress in a DC French restaurant.
“before you got in this program”
If you think you found a way to say he was not referring to the television person he was speaking to, congrats.
The bottom line was that it was a softball question that he could have handled very easily and instead he sort of freaked out.
Ted Kennedy probably had sex with a lot of women on various floors, like the ugly drunk he was, but in one particular incident, that was well documented, he committed sexual assault against an unwilling woman, who was just trying to do her job.
Joining him in this assault was Chris Dodd, who these days now helps Joe Biden pick the next Vice President.
Well Ted and little Brett have a lot in common when it comes to drinking and inappropriate sexual behavior. One went before the voters every six years, and one went before Donald Trump to get a lifetime appointment.
There should be some sort of statute of limitations on Ted since we now have a Republican President in the White House that not only brags about grabbing pussy, but raw boned a sex worker who he then paid 130K to for her silence.
But, hey, Ted Kennedy destroyed our Nation’s morals.
I encourage everyone to listen to Joe Biden’s interview and decide if he was calling someone a junkie or actually saying asking the question is like saying someone is a junkie.
Get used to his confused syntax, and his expansive vocabulary and intellect.
The whataboutism is in full play today.
3:36 is perhaps the dumbest post ever made on this site.
Biden maybe rough around the ears but is miles better than Trump who is in another universe…
Rand Paul Says Republicans Should Apologize to Obama
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) tore into his fellow Republicans on Fox News for considering a coronavirus relief package that could cost more than $1 trillion.
Said Paul: “I am very upset with my colleagues. They went 8 years. They should apologize now to President Obama for complaining he was spending and borrowing too much. He was a piker compared to their borrowing and what they’re doing now.”
Axios: “Paul’s comments, while tongue-in-cheek, underscore the divisions within the Senate Republican conference, where as many as 20 GOP senators are likely to vote against any coronavirus relief bill — even if a deal is reached between Democrats and Trump administration.”
If there was a tax cut for the wealthy in the package?
Those 20 “fiscal conservatives” would get on board quickly.
We were told that the whole Post Office story was a conspiracy theory just the other day here. But, of course, this and the rush to finish the Census are just two more Republican efforts to both win this election and control redistricting in the future.
I agree.
The Post Office slow down will back fire on the Republicans just like their voter suppression tactics backfired in Wisconsin.
But, here’s the thing as the Brits would say. These efforts have the total support of the Republican Party. This isn’t just something coming out of the White House, it has the support of the Congressional Republicans and on the state level.
Minnesota has a mask mandate for voters on election day, and the State Republicans are suing to stop the mandate. That, in its way, is voter suppression. Why would they do that?
Cause they trying to operate , but are being stupid….
Many Republicans are stupid too, but the larger reason is that Republicans are evil and they know that Republicans are less likely to wear masks because wearing a mask shows you also care about people other than yourself.
Morning….
