Please check the excerpt’s ia have posted below and go to the linked piece…..
Those who think Joe Biden is Too old I think should check out Donald Trump’s appearance before those who are kissing his ass for their well being….
It IS revealing how random, unconnected and sexually driven the guy is….
He related about possibly being ‘WITH’ Nancy Pelosi?…..
Donald Trump came to the Capitol Hill Club Thursday morning supposedly to discuss his agenda for a second term with House Republicans. Instead, Trump treated his meeting as an opportunity to deliver a behind-closed-doors, stream-of-consciousness rant where Trump tried to settle scores in the House GOP, trashed the city of Milwaukee and took a shot at Nancy Pelosi’s “wacko” daughter.
As one source in the room put it, Trump was “rambling.”
“Like talking to your drunk uncle at the family reunion,” this source said….
…
On the other end of the spectrum, Trump dumped on a number of his enemies, railing against the Department of Justice — he called the DOJ “dirty bastards” — and criticized Democrats and President Joe Biden.
Lawmakers told NOTUS that Trump blasted Biden for canceling a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on the first day of his presidency. Trump also advised Republicans to hit Biden and Democrats on inflation and the border. And he called Biden’s push to expand electric vehicle use “the dumbest thing,” according to another source in the room.
He also brought up Taylor Swift, asking the room why the pop singer would “endorse this dope,” referring to Biden, according to a member in the room….
…
But Trump also hit a number of weirder topics that were completely unrelated to policy. At one point, he joked that the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter was a “nice guy,” according to one of the sources in the room. “He even had a friend over for dinner,” Trump said, according to that source, in a joke about cannibalism….
…
But perhaps the most bizarre moment of all was Trump’s rant about one of Pelosi’s daughters. Trump told House Republicans that she once told him, “If things were different, Nancy and I would be perfect together.”
“There’s an age difference though,” said Trump, who is about six years younger than Pelosi and 24 years older than his wife, Melania.
Pelosi’s daughter Christine almost immediately refuted Trump’s claim on X. Speaking for all four Pelosi daughters, she denied Trump’s claim and condemned the former president as “unwell, unhinged and unfit to step foot anywhere near her — or the White House.”
Toward the end of his roughly one-hour speech, Trump proved the sheer randomness of his affections.
For instance, Milwaukee, the host city for the Republican National Convention next month, is apparently on Trump’s bad side. Trump called Milwaukee “a horrible city,” according to Punchbowl…..

New Open Thread is HERE.….
Yes Trump is essentially incoherent.
However,Republicans don’t care.
I mean they’ve overlooked the fact that he is a rapist,a pathological liar,a cheat ,a thief,and ,in general, makes a mockery of everything they claim to believe in.
Hate though is a powerful motivator and more than anything Trump knows how to appeal to it.
As long as he gets them “ libruls” ,that term applying to anyone they don’t like or agree with?
They will support him .
Incoherence and all.
Yes Guys…..
Speak’s wonders about a Grand ole Party trying to Make America GREAT Again?
Adam Schiff said it was Bring Your Felon to Work Day for Congressional Republicans.
Quote of the Day
“When he calls people crazy, he’s just talking about himself. When he calls people crooked, he’s just talking about himself. So the list goes on. He’s a master projector. People should understand that.”
— Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), quoted by the Washington Post, on Donald Trump.
He called Milwaukee–host to next month’s RNC–a “horrible city”.
That’s pretty much the Republican view on all cities and why almost all large cities have Democratic or Democratic leaning independent mayors.
In the 90s 2 of the 3 most populous US cities had GOP mayors (NYC and LA).
Now the only city in the top 10 most populous with a Republican mayor (Dallas) was elected as a Democrat but changed parties.
GOPer’s are fighting with the Secret Service over crowd limits i hear
Yup …. BIG cities DO tend to vote Democratic, eh?
Trump media keeps going⬇️ @ 37.05 closing for the week….
Good Morning…….
The two guys debate in a week……..
I think Trump goes 0-3…….
Clean Up on Aisle Trump
Punchbowl News: “Trump disparaged Milwaukee, the city where he’ll formally accept the GOP presidential nomination next month. He also told a bizarre story involving an imagined relationship with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. And he suggested a new tariff idea.”
“It was vintage Trump, treating the gathering like a campaign rally. The following few hours were dominated by GOP lawmakers and Trump campaign officials haranguing reporters for the portrayal of his comments about Milwaukee.”
“Trump called Milwaukee a ‘horrible city,’ then some House Republicans claimed he never said it, and then they admitted he said it but that he didn’t mean it.”
“It felt like we were back in the ‘clean-up on aisle Trump’ news cycles of 2017 all over again.”

“Trump called Milwaukee a ‘horrible city,’ then some House Republicans claimed he never said it, and then they admitted he said it but that he didn’t mean it.”
If Trump thought Milwaukee was such a “ horrible “ city then the question arises,why did he let his stooges on the Republican National Committee choose it as the site of their convention?
Kellyanne Conway’s genius in 2016 was recognizing Hillary’s weakness (while Hillary was politically asleep) in the Rust Bowl states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
So it made sense for the GOP to hold its convention in one of those states.
Bashing Milwaukee only makes sense if Trump believes that doing so will lose fewer November 2024 votes in Milwaukee than anti-Milwaukee votes in the red suburbs, rural areas and declining non-metropolitan towns such as (I’m going out on a limb here and welcome correction) Racine, Sheboygan and Green Bay.
Wisconsin has always been very narrowly divided between the heirs of Bob La Follette (or the Milwaukee Socialists) and those of Joe McCarthy. Michael Rogin and others have written whole books about this split.
I think Biden get’s Wisconsin
Word is he’s thinking of not showing….
Good Afternoon and Happy Father’s Day to the Dads out there….
Please explain
In several swing states the Democratic US Senator is nicely ahead, but Biden trails Trump?
What is there to “ explain?”
Morning
Good Morning All…….
As Trump goes?
So does his Trump Media stock
Closes at 34.72⬇️
Noam Chomsky is dead.
There are repo,rts Trump is plan.ning to stay in Chicago during the Milwaukee con,vention.
What is with this filter?
Dissing Milwaukee ain’t Right…..
Gonna piss off voters Trump needs
What is with the filter?
Trying to post that Trump might be planning to stay in Chicago during the Milwaukee convention.
Which word is causing the problem?
Trying to post that a certain nominee to be is planning to stay in a major city somewhat south of the one where he is to be nominated while the event is occurring.
Sorry to have to be so cryptic.
Chicago
Milwaukee
What is the problem? (Besides the NL Central standings)
Maybe Biden can plan to stay in a Milwaukee hotel during his conven,tion, since it is far more important he win WI and Trump appare.ntly prefers Chica.go to Milwau.kee.
Is the word T.rump banned now?
Maybe Biden can plan to stay in a Milwaukee hotel during his conven,tion, since it is far more important he win WI and T,rump appare.ntly prefers Chica.go to Milwau.kee.
Ma.ybe Biden can plan to st,ay in a Milw,aukee ho,tel dur.ing his conven,tion, since it is far more import,ant he win WI and T,rump appare.ntly pre,fers Chica.go to Milwau.kee.
Biden HAS the state
Biden probably “has” Illinois, allowing me to not feel an obligation to have to vote for his sorry self, but he definitely does not “have” Wisconsin right now.
I disagree on Wisconsin and i am joined by Ms Megan McCain
From what I see online from Meghan McCain is that she thinks Trump is going to win the election. She keeps talking about Biden being senile.
Meghan McCain posted yesterday that since the highly respected Selzer Iowa poll out yesterday shows Trump ahead by 18 points in Iowa, that she cannot see how Biden wins next door Wisconsin.
I can see how it could be possible, but you have misrepresented her.
I took the same thing to mean something IS wrong with thoughts on Wisconsin going Red
So, now you have deleted one of your own posts when you said you mixed up Meghan McCain with Liz Cheney. Then, I guess you decided that did not make any sense, so you are doubling down on something nonsensical.?
I checked……
I had the quoted view correct
U pointed me right
For the record, Meghan McCain thinks Trump is going to win Wisconsin. I do not know if that means she wants it to happen or not. Like me, I think she detests Trump (and Kari Lake), but she is extremely anti-Biden and for some odd reason is a fan of Tulsi Gabbard,
There is no way her Tweet could have been read as an indication that she thinks Biden is going to win Wisconsin.
Only you seem to think that Biden already “has” America’s Dairyland.
I have this discussion with Jack all the time
Hardcore Republicans may hate Trump
But the vast majority WILL STILL vote FOR Trump
I get it
Biden is looking for those around the edges
And just like MOST Large urban cities in America?
Milwaukee HAS a Democratic Mayor…:
Milwaukee’s suburbs (and certainly exurbs) are a lot more Republican friendly these days than suburban areas near Chicago.
Wisconsin I think will be in Biden column for the election count
He, he, he
RCP has Trump ahead of Biden be HUGE margin of 0.1% right now…….
Trump ain’t winning there
Far from certain, but we should all be able to agree that Iowa will not. It has become very, very Red.
The logic of thinking that since Iowa is so red, Wisconsin is bound to go along with it also ignores the fact that very blue Illinois is also next door to Wisconsin, as is Minnesota, which right now, looks like a swing state.
Agreed….:
Iowa IS a RED STATE
And none of the other states are switching to Trump hence he has been showing up in those states
We wouldn’t be having these problems if Ole Jerome were running this blog.
In fairness, Cook County often is friendly to felons.
Trump’s campaign is insisting he is planning to stay in Milwaukee, despite the report. He probably thinks Laverne and Shirley will be around to endorse him.
He is unlikely to get Fonzie’s endorsement, but he can count on Chachi.
It’s one of those response things
He says something
And his handlers clean up behind him…
Trump probably heard about Fonzie “jumping the shark” and got worried about the aquatic life in Milwaukee.
Liz Cheney should be offended by the mix-up with Meghan McCain. I am sure Liz Cheney is smart enough to be quite concerned that Biden might lose the election, unlike some others.
And Yes i assume Liz would give me a stare down
Milwaukee elected a Socialist Congressman in the 1910’s & ’20s (Victor Berger, expelled from Congress for anti-war activity and then re-elected) and a couple of Socialist Mayors up until Frank Zeidler’s defeat in 1960.
Of course being a Red City meant something a little different then. Eugene Debs’ campaign train was called the Red Special.
Current day Chicago has at least one socialist affiliated U.S. House Member and a Mayor who could probably be considered one. Several members of the Chicago City Council, who are allies of the Mayor, are openly socialist.
If Trump would rather crash in Chicago instead of Milwaukee, it might have something to do with the fact that he owns a hotel in Chicago.
This is the place were DSD should be entering
More filter issues
If Trum.p wants to cra,sh in Chic,ago, perha,ps he can stay at the home of Blago, the “Trumpocrat” felo.n, he is close to.
Then, if he goes to Det,roit, he can ha,ng out with Kwa.me Kilpa,trick, the one time Democr.at risin,g sta,r during his time as Ma.yor, before he became a felo.n also, and is now supp,orting Tru,mp.
Convicts hanging out ain’t good for Trump’s up coming sentencing…::
That was a specific question I believe Trump was asked by his parole officer…:
Lotta people in his circle make that list
He, he, he
Hey CG?
The Donald NOW says he ‘Loves’ Milwaukee ‼️😆
I have given up trying to post what I was trying to post
While I had not really been following the race, I am happy to hear that Eugene Vindman won his primary tonight and is very likely to be going to Congress from Virginia. For some reason, I would have assumed he was the underdog there, but he won by a lot. I especially admire his twin brother Alexander.
I am pretty sure this will make Vindman the first Ukrainian born Jewish-American in Congress. Amazingly enough, the two brothers were interviewed, along with their Grandmother, as part of a Ken Burns documentary about the Statue of Liberty when they were 10 years old.
And a Military Guy……
RIP, Willie Mays
Good Morning All…..
Supreme’s hand down decision’s tomorrow I believe…
Blue Georgia
@BlueATLGeorgia
John Oliver: “[Trump] blew up the Iran nuclear deal, withdrew us from the Paris climate agreement, slashed access to food stamps and gave a huge tax cut to corporations, he separated children from their families at the border, suggested curing Covid with bleach or bright light, summoned an insurrection, and put in three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v Wade.”
Here is another October 2007 thread. jamesb continued to be anti-Obama (but also consistently anti- Rudy)
https://web.archive.org/web/20071027090058/http://www.haloscan.com/comments/politics1/102507a/
Sadly, very little from Corey, although someone else thought that was a good thing. “Illinois Jim” would probably not like to see this thread. He left politics behind though some time ago and became a Chicago Blackhawks blogger/podcaster.
He, he, he….
And I voted FOR Obama twice and he WON…..
Yup….
I’m Happy I got that one wrong!…
Indeed….
“…got that one wrong?”
That’s funny.
As anyone who has observed your “ predictions “ through the years you are the most “ wrong “ person here.
Yup
And i join a VERY LARGE distinguished group of people….
A lot who actually get paid…..
Heck?
Even u get guesses wrong sometimes!
Hmmmm!
Happy Juneteenth to all those who celebrate, and that excludes most Republicans I know.
Interesting Jack, when I saw James’ comment about being wrong it made me smile. Not only has he keyboard given us some of the most ridiculous comments/predictions known to political man, but he then usually doubles down on them. He went on for weeks about Hillary when we all knew Obama was going to be the nominee.
Unfortunately the Obama Presidency led to the Trump (via Birtherism) control of today’s Republican Party (something James has been denying for almost eight years now). Remember all the times Trump was “fading.”
But, for me his classics were – “January 6th is in the review mirror and Biden looks weak over his response to the Ukraine.” I have others, but need to run.
Like I said, happy holiday to all the many posters who visit here daily.
Happy Holiday to U Keith
U view on the Biden campaign so far?
Good Morning for Joe Biden, eh?
RFK Jr. Raised Just $2.6 Million Last Month
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign raised just $2.6 million in May, a paltry sum that speaks to how reliant his bid has become on his running mate, the wealthy Silicon Valley lawyer Nicole Shanahan,” the New York Times reports.
“The Kennedy campaign raised less in May than it had in any previous month in 2024, according to filings on Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission. That was in large part because Ms. Shanahan, who has poured millions into their independent presidential campaign, barely contributed any additional money in May.”
The ‘System’ seems to be catching up to Steve Bannon….
Morning……
Morning…:
I just had a conversation wy my son who has had it JUST sink in that Trump is ONLY a few years younger than Biden!
Good Morning…….
Lindsey Graham taking shit again for the Trump audience
A very interesting piece in Politico…..
The surprise election that could be a model for Democrats in 2024
Morning Giys
Louisiana AG Liz Utrillo says she’s looking forward to defending the states new law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments.
That’s not surprising .
However what struck me as funny was her statement,”The 10 Commandments are pretty simple,don’t kill,steal, cheat on your wife,but they are also important to our country’s foundations .”Well,we don’t know that her party’s presidential candidate has killed anyone but as for “ stealing or cheating on your wife?”
Does trying to steal an election and cheating on your wife with a porn star count?
Maybe these bayou Bible beaters could add a proviso that Trumps picture could be displayed next to the Commandments with the notation “Don’t be like him” or such other verbiage.
For sure the woman has “ conservative values.”
New Revised Version…..
“Except if you are Our new Lord Savior Donald J. Trump’…….
Years ago, I had a colloquy with CG about the supposed secular neutrality or universality of the Ten Commandments.
And half of them would make no sense to a non-believer (e.g. honouring no other gods before Him, keeping the Sabbath, no blasphemy, no idols).
So adopting them (or forcing them on public-institution students) is basically an establishment of religion (prohibited by the very first and second injunctiosn of the Bill of Rights — Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion — or prohibiting the free exercise thereof):
Exodus Chapter 20
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
Thank U
As I responded to Jack……
Cept for the Republican Lord and Savior Donald J. Trump ……
We ARE WATCHING a twisted Reality envelope who sections of America…….
We may not like or accept the Trump Era….
But the man HAS pumped up a whole legion of True Believers……
It IS SCARY to witness
And YES DSD……
You have cited parallel’s at this place
People BETTER SERIOUSLY wise up to the ground shifting underneath their very feet….
How about those “ moderates” Where are they at?
They have taken cover
Yup
But after Trump loses in November?
Trump’s new green card for college immigrants is the latest foray to the middle that is gonna not make his wing nuts happy
Long post (citing the 10 Commandments and Bill of Rights) lost in moderation.
I have not gone through it yet, but thought it might be fun if anyone wants to revisit the P1 thread after the John Edwards love child scandal first broke. (There are a ton of accessible halsocan threads from November and December of 2007 that can be found using the Wayback Machine.)
https://web.archive.org/web/20081105112705/http://www.haloscan.com/comments/politics1/121907a/
This was a story that broke on the National Enquirer, and of course wound up to be completely true. Edwards was later charged for campaign finance violations very similar to what Trump was convicted on in New York. He was found Not Guilty on one charge and there was a mistrial on the others, which led many to believe that Trump could beat the NY charges also. So, Edwards never became a convicted felon, but rightfully left public life, and is considered a laughingstock. It is a shame that Elizabeth Edwards had to suffer the way she did, due in large part to this mess, during her final years.
Edwards was a Democrat and it was a different time……
How about JFK revaluation’s?
I am not sure if I EVERYONE is under the same type of moderation on here, or if it is just me, but every time I try to post something, it does not appear.
So james, please place that post here. I wanted to link to the P1 thread from December 2007 after the John Edwards scandal broke in the National Enquirer.
http://www.haloscan.com/comments/politics1/121907a/
Since my original substantive post is in jail, maybe this link to the thread will work better
https://web.archive.org/web/20081105112705/http://www.haloscan.com/comments/politics1/121907a/
I hope my first post from this evening can be “printed.”
Anyways. just for the sake of more Memory Lane, here is the thread from the day after. Ron got a ton of flak from people on the left for talking about the National Enquirer story on Edwards. We all know now that it was completely true though.
https://web.archive.org/web/20081105002815/http://www.haloscan.com/comments/politics1/122007a/
No, CG, it’s not just you; I and His Name is Jack also run into moderation problems (such as my comment above on the 10 Commandments).
I think that length has something to do with whether a post is sent to moderation (which happened above, apparently, because I quoted the whole text of the Ten Commandments; my posts with long lists of Congressional votes are sometimes also sent to moderation).
I don’t know if you tried to post a whole Haloscan thread (which can be quite long) or just a short excerpt.
I find it hilarious that we have “ moderation” for the same five or six people who have been posting here on and off for the past twelve or thirteen years.
Guys?
U have NO IDEA about how much junk and bad stuff ends up in the filters..,.
Including and past knucklehead from this place…
I just ask that u be patient……
BTW?
The site visits have gone back up here and on twitter……
It’s been almost 15 years for this little place…
Thank You Everyone!
As example?
If u check some of the twitter threads u’ll find unrelated comments coming up all the time ….They use those to pad their views numbers
My PDog Twitter handle…..
CG?
If you have anything u want me to repost?
let me know…..
How about a post for what will hopefully happen tomorrow in regards to the defeat of Jamal Bowman.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/jamaal-bowman-george-latimer-aipac-israel-zionism-new-york-race.html
I was talking about ur site….
Bowman is the guy who wants what thousands of Israeli’s want?
A ceasefire?
Is Netanyahu slowing things down in Gaza?
You should read up a bit more on Bowman. He has called for one state and it does not include Israel. He dismissed claims of rape occurring on October 7. He is widely viewed as an anti-Semitic extremist and this is not even taking into account his issues with Capitol Hill fire alarms.
Even J Street, the very left-wing organization in regards to Israel and the Middle East, that DSD has talked about often, rescinded their support for Bowman and said they could no longer support him.
Yesterday, Bowman on on an unhinged, profane tirade at a public campaign rally on his behalf. It was like something out of a Trump rally, but worse.
You should listen to Hillary Clinton, your 2008 candidate, who has endorsed Bowman’s opponent. All sensible Democrats should be hoping for a George Latimer primary victory tomorrow.
He HAS gone of the hedge recently…..
But the basic of a cease fire was NOT bad or disrespectful point….
President Biden tried it and it failed….
Bibi is slowing the Gaza operation in fear of a Second offensive possibly developing….
As the US Intel and even the IDF bosses have said out loud……
Hamas is NOT disappearing……
A POLITICAL SOLUTION IS THE ANSWER
Furthermore?
I posted a short while ago how aid and food assistance sits in lots unable to reach those in need because there is NO Gaza infrastructure a function Hamas performed,….
Hamas is preventing food and aid from reaching Gazans, because Hamas wants Gazans dead.
Israeli hardliners are also attacking truckers and ransacking the supplies….
Again……
The Blame applies to BOTH SIDES
The US HAS sanctioned some Israeli’s and a religious military unit of Israel for attacking Gaza unarmed civilians
The Reality IS somebody needs to get the parties to negotiate…….
And THAT is going to be difficult……
Lot of wrong shit from BOTH SIDES
And displacement of the Palestinians is just NOT gonna a option
Bowman is a nut and you should be as willing to admit it, just like all the Republicans who make excuses for Trump should admit the truth about him.
Perhaps a post on the targeted and violent attack on Jews outside a Los Angeles synagogue yesterday.
https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-los-angeles-synagogue-protest-cc997c3116d12f159df138a0ba9be002
Bowman belongs nowhere near Congress based on his behavior alone yesterday. Despite what he feels he might not be able to say publicly, Hakeem Jeffries is very much hoping for Bowman to lose tomorrow.
Thankfully, New York City at least has a smart, responsible, effective person Ritchie Torres as one of their Congressional Representatives, even though I probably disagree with Torres on most major domestic issues.
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4736135-torres-criticizes-bowman-rally/
There are also going to be some interesting Republican primaries in Utah tomorrow. The Trump acolyte running against the incumbent Governor is expected to lose handily. In the Senate contest to replace Mitt Romney, Trump has endorsed a MAGA candidate who might lose.
(This would be a few weeks after Trump’s endorsed U.S. Senate candidate lost a primary in New Jersey. The candidate who won is a moderate, gay, Republican who was not a fan of Trump. He now goes up against the official Democrat nominee and incumbent Bob Menendez, (whom james thinks should be reelected) who is running as an Independent. I would still expect the Democrat Andy Kim to win.)
Back to Utah, there is an open Congressional seat, where one of the Republican candidates is running on a slogan of “Mainstream, Not MAGA.” Ironically enough though, one of his opponent’s is Mitt Romney’s nephew, whom Romney has issued an extremely rare endorsement of, and is promoting the endorsement of his uncle/U.S. Senator.
Do you want Bowman to win tomorrow or do you want Latimer to win? Since you are in the area, you should have an opinion right?
Next, will you vote tomorrow?
De’Esposito is my rep
U corrected me on Meeks being changed…..
Ok. So, dodging both questions, I see.
Don’t really care which
They Democrats
You seem to have an opinion on everything else, but on this one, you aren’t willing to say. I think that says it all.
Anyway, while I am aware you do not live in the district, New York is having statewide primaries tomorrow. Your polling place will be open I take it. Are you not going to vote?
Even long before Trump came along, when I was still a proud Republican, on somewhat rare but distinct cases, I opposed the re-nomination of incumbents I thought were bad for my party and the country.
Opposing Jamaal Bowman, when he is being opposed by a credible Democrat, should be a low bar.
He IS….
But Democrats tend to be held to Different standards…
different standards by you. You will excuse the behavior of any Democrat no matter what they say or do, Bowman, Menendez, Cuomo, etc.
Along those lines, I think it is horrible that the Biden Justice Department is letting Julian Assange walk free.
Nah……
Menendez IS a crook….
He got over the first time he was charged…..
We’ll see this time….
Seems to be trying to throw his wife overboard…..
Andrew Cuomo has lost his mind….
Hounded by AG Tish James , he NOW says Trump should NEVER have been tried by Bragg….
I never voted for the guy for Governor…
He could run for Mayor of NYC….
But defending Trump is gonna cancel his chances in NYC where Trump is underwater in popularity
It looks like former Vice President Dan Quayle is volunteering debate advice to… Joe Biden
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/debate-prep-trump-biden-rcna158667
Biden should tell Trump that he knew “Alfonse Capone” and Trump is no Alfonse Capone.
Morning
Getting hit with a LOT of online fundraising begs from Democrats
Rough two days coming at Donald J. Trump
Debate……
Supreme’s call on immunity…….
I think he loses the debate and only gets partial immunity….
Browsing through the P1 threads from January 2008 is a trip. These days you just do not see any sort of blog where large groups political people in both parties converse/argue/insult each directly.
Anyways, people on the left there (including some of the people who will probably read this) had as much vitriol for Mitt Romney then they do for Donald Trump now. One of our southern friends called him “the most ruthless bastard ever to run.” Would they have any idea what was coming? Generally speaking, this is a big part of the reason why the warnings and attacks about Trump have fallen too flat for years now. That is a bad thing.
Sixteen years later, at least honest Democrats would have to admit that Mitt Romney was not evil personified. I also had a lot of back and forth then with a Giuliani supporter over the nomination battle. No doubt that I have a clear conscience on that one.
Did Jamaal Bowman go around to various polling stations in his district today to pull the fire alarms?
Lauren Boebert wins her primary tonight.Too bad. Not a surprise though.
Big opportunity in New York tonight for Democrats to look smarter than Republicans and oust one if their crazies.
Indeed.. right now….it is looking like Bowman has gone down to defeat….
Stay tuned. Once it becomes more official, I have a Bowmanesque “victory statement” to make.
Even if not one person out there out of the scores and scores that james tells us visits this site daily, is willing (thus far) to chime in perhaps agree with me on Latimer vs. Bowman.. I might be asking a lot.
Please james.. please.. put up a new open thread, or a thread dedicated specifically to the New York Primary so I can make my “victory speech.” and it will not be buried here…
I promise to not redact parts of the profanity.
New thread coming shortly…..
Good Morning All
I am definitely under censorship here now. It will not let me post. Somehow, the Texan has to be blamed.
Bowman has lost and I have a statement to make, but I will wait eagerly for a new thread.
And ?
YOU ARE NOT being censored…..
Certain words ARE in the filter……
And yes a certain person HIS THE reason for some of the filtering….
DAMN REAL…..

) has beaten back a Trumpist challenger in the GOP primary.
I think that a couple of other Utah crazies lost last night, too.
What are these “words” that are being used in posts that are causing posts to not get through? Can you tell us here? Either use your moderator authority to post them or find some other way to communicate it? Can you email me a list? So I can know what words to avoid or ways to get around those words?
DSD says it happens to him too. I think only Scott P. never falls into the filter because he knows to have some typings/misspellings in his posts with some four letter words thrown in and the filter thinks it is you and allows it!
Yea I CAN list them so they can walked around CG?
NOT gonna happen…..
It’s NOT anyone here….
We row together. …
There is no rhyme or reason to what words are causing a problem with the filter. Almost none of my attempts to post work, unless they are just a sentence or two. I am not using profanity in my posts, although that does not seem to be anything that is filtered anyway.
Email me the list and I will keep it secret. Maybe others you trust can ask you to do the same, but it is entirely a waste of time to offer substantive and sometimes detailed commentary and for them not to not be posted without any sort of explanation.
