Watching her lose again will be worth 4 years of Trump. At least he pretends to care about ordinary people unlike Hitlery who actively shits on ordinary people.
this way Hillary gets to keep the Biden/Harris donor dollars; she likely still does own the DNC
the Dems have already figured out how to "win" the election
it will be fairly easy to have undocumented folks vote for a known name like Hillary - the Dems are squealing that requiring ID to vote is racist.
anyone who thinks Trump is safe because the first attempt failed is a fool
I cannot imagine Hillary sitting back and watching Harris be the first woman in the White House; also has anyone seen the Tina Fey SNL Kamala reel? It is awesome.
don't ever forget that the primaries and election are really nothing more than money-laundering extravaganzas, and where there is money, there are Clinton$
the killer vampires running things now know they have an enthusiastic friend in Hillary; they will work hard to keep their jobs
There a many many other things I could say. Too many. This would mean that I would vote for Trump, even if it is just a gesture. And that is as set in stone as not getting jabbed.
Great hypotheses all. Have you ever considered writing a vampire horror novel based on our real-life vampires? I'm sure it would be a best seller somewhere.
Seriously, if they do the worst case scenario and rig the vote for Hillary, it will be as obvious as the assassination attempt was an inside job. That kind of thing often backfires on the powerful who employ such desperate tactics.
Thanks! And yeah, I could actually come up with a decent plot for that novel. It would be fun.
I am afraid I no longer believe the powerful and/or the folks in charge care if we see their machinations. As Rahm said, where else are the people gonna go? After all - IMO - even if/when the assassination attempt is shown to be glaringly obviously managed by the folks currently running things, nothing will happen.
I do believe it is a mistake on the Dems' part to go with Kamala OR Hillary. They need two relatively fresh faces. Not that I wish them well in any way, shape, or form. Kamala pretty much writes the ads against her, and Trump can say hey, I already beat Herself once and there was a good reason. Also there is not exactly a decent last four years' worth of accomplishments to run on. Unless the vampires allow something dreadful to happen to Russia, which would fire up the ravening Dem base. There is no reason to hate Russia, IMO - this is all just stage-managed hubris and money and power grabs.
I see that BRICS has decided to go with a gold standard, and IMO all China and some others have to do is dump all of their real estate holdings and investments here and the US is toast, without a shot being fired. Just read a story wherein China having satellites with the same abilities of ours is crossing a line. Now, there is some hubris.
That's a good point. Although I must say I want them to lose, and lose bigly. Who knows - perhaps the Dems understand they have fucked things up beyond repair, and want to dump all of their reeking mess on Trump, sit back, and count their money.
I've said it before elsewhere, and it's exactly that. It's easier to fundraise on Orange Man Bad than to govern and not blow up the planet. Yes, a low bar, but the Democrats keep trying to do that!!
Mine is simple. Biden and the Democrats have destroyed Ukraine, even though it's no longer in the news, so I will vote for the candidate who has the best chance of ending the proxy war.
"People are DYING. I want to stop the DYING."--Donald Trump on Ukraine. He said something similar about Gaza. He even said that everybody knows it is Israel continuing the war and that he would cut off aid to them to "stop the dying" if he had to. The M$M interviewer was appalled.
Since you have a Ukrainian wife, if you didn't take that position I'd think something was seriously wrong with you.
My wife's distant cousins in Lwow have gone almost completely dark since Zelensky banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, of which they are devoted members. They know now they are living in a totalitarian dictatorship, not the democracy they were promised.
It feels like it's finally getting close to an end. Ukrainian conscription vehicles are getting burned, there are power protests, increased AFU deaths, and no Joey - probably.
There are 2 hours of electricity a day, and it's mid-summer. Lots of places have steam heat, but not all -
Ukraine is about to collapse, I suspect, and I hope there will be countries to help it recover.
As for HRC (five star loser), well Harris being a pampered pet of the Clinton's, complete with a food bowl with her name on it, a green day-glow leash and a glass studded collar, who wants to bet Hillary and Kamala are going to be the Democrat ticket?
I just want to thank you for being an adult in the room in a sea of the nose ringed empty woke, the edgy teenaged Rome larping alt-right, and the senile establishment.
‘ JD Vance is by no means perfect, and he is backed by one faction of the kleptocracy, namely Peter Thiel of PayPal and Palantir infamy, but he is also hated by some of the very best people to be hated by: Neocons. ‘
Yeah, but I assume that they hate him based on class, not ideology. Same as Trump. It’s like having to welcome the help to the party and pretend their your social equals.
There is probably something to the classism you suggest. Vance isn't one of them. I think, however, that they could live with that if Vance wasn't so staunchly opposed to the Ukraine War, and I guarantee you he has serious doubts about NATO being in America's national interests.
He's a nationalist. Globalists don't like that, either.
Lamis Deek, US-Palestinian attorney/activist discusses past week's ICJ ruling on George Galloway today - historic, profound.....As mentioned before, legal aspects go beyond my expertise but Lamis' interview on the Galloway show on MOATS/youtube is a must watch....Lamis is first up.
"JD Vance is by no means perfect, and he is backed by one faction of the kleptocracy, namely Peter Thiel of PayPal and Palantir infamy, but he is also hated by some of the very best people to be hated by: Neocon..."
Are enemies are more than capable of using reverse psychology, not saying that's whatt happened though.
Why would Hillary need to run when she can pull the strings on the Camel? The fact that everyone hates the Camel too is of course not considered by anybody.
Hillary wants the office and the power. IMO it is an ego thing. And having someone that much of the world considers to be a vacuous fool be the first woman would, I think, really stick in her craw. Like someone else on Substack has said, one can hear the slow measured flap of leathery wings. She would say she is saving America, or some such rot.
She would, but she endorsed Kamala. I guess the Holy O, and the money(it would be awkward to refund all the money donated to Biden/Harris back to the donors), won out.
Obama always wanted Kamala in the White House. Easy to control AND she checks three ID politics boxes. She won't get there, but at least there will BE campaign grift.
Early days, but it looks like it would be impossible to dislodge Kamala - something would have to happen to make her bow out. Just watched someone opine that Kamala would be kept under wraps as much as possible, canned teleprompter stuff (like Biden). But Kamala in a debate? Can't wait. Some think Newsome would be named VP - slick talker. But record in California abysmal, California sounds like a reeking mess now. I'm thinking there is no one decent to run, actually. Maybe try the WOMAN thing, and put Warren in as VP. Faux Progressive. Hey, maybe Bernie! Bwahahaha! I would not vote for that. Any of that.
This is like guessing who the next James Bond will be - only this could get us all killed. (Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston. Just saying.)
It won't be Newsom. He has hopes for 2028. Besides, he's from California, just like Harris. They will pick a white male, probably from what they think is a swing state.
That means Shapiro from Pennsylvania and Kelly from Arizona are probably the frontrunners. I'm not going to predict who it's going to be, other than that he will be a white male and he won't be LGBTQ.
Sigh. How do I avoid the chaos of the next four to six months?
Move to the woods, I did 5 years ago, best move I ever made.
Love the idea, but it's hard to look away from the car crash.
Your personal sanity is important, don't underestimate it.
Yes, true. My family isn't ready for it yet, though -
The Dems have nobody who can beat Trump. That includes HRC. Have they already forgotten her loss in 2016?
Watching her lose again will be worth 4 years of Trump. At least he pretends to care about ordinary people unlike Hitlery who actively shits on ordinary people.
Some hypotheses -
this way Hillary gets to keep the Biden/Harris donor dollars; she likely still does own the DNC

Here I disagree with you. I believe voters need some they voted for, otherwise it's an obvious bait & switch. I think Kamala is the closest.
That's a good point. Although I must say I want them to lose, and lose bigly. Who knows - perhaps the Dems understand they have fucked things up beyond repair, and want to dump all of their reeking mess on Trump, sit back, and count their money.

Mine is simple. Biden and the Democrats have destroyed Ukraine, even though it's no longer in the news, so I will vote for the candidate who has the best chance of ending the proxy war.
I just watched someone interviewing Trump and trying to force him to pick a side. Trump just said he wants to stop people dying.
That's a very good side! If you can find a picture, the new Ukrainian cemeteries are HUGE.
I've found plenty of them. Some of them are even featured in my earlier posts.
"People are DYING. I want to stop the DYING."--Donald Trump on Ukraine. He said something similar about Gaza. He even said that everybody knows it is Israel continuing the war and that he would cut off aid to them to "stop the dying" if he had to. The M$M interviewer was appalled.

Well, there's always the Belt & Road thing with China.
;-) I suspect we won't know what it's really needed until it's all over, but then, the train to Kiev is still running!
Random tree monkey for the win!
Joe's dropping out. Just saw a headline.
Biden is endorsing Harris - but IMO that can be dealt with at the convention.
Yeppers', Ole Joe is calling it quits.
He's actually keeping a campaign promise, you can knock me over with a feather.
In short, good riddance, don't let the screen door hit you in the ass.
"Biden Drops Out of Presidential Race, Endorses Harris"

As for HRC (five star loser), well Harris being a pampered pet of the Clinton's, complete with a food bowl with her name on it, a green day-glow leash and a glass studded collar, who wants to bet Hillary and Kamala are going to be the Democrat ticket?
ROTFLMAO
BTW, Hi Everyone. Good to see ya all'
I am calling Harris plus Michelle Obama.
Nothing better than seeing a diversity ticket n the future bomb the crap out of diverse peoples.
No, it won't be Michelle. It will be a white male. Got to balance that ticket, ya know.
Good to see you, too!
Yep. Just saw that.
Mirror, mirror on the wall. To which Democrat will the most grift flow? The DNC will let us know.
I just want to thank you for being an adult in the room in a sea of the nose ringed empty woke, the edgy teenaged Rome larping alt-right, and the senile establishment.
That means a lot. Thank you.
Good for your cousin's son! Coming back in one piece from deployment isn't something most people have experienced.
For all that haven't, I'm here to say, it's quite a memorable moment!
Best of luck to you lad.
I've done it myself, and my cousin did his full 20+ in the submarine service, so we get it.
My, they're quick with the grifting - received this text message a few minutes after getting the news Biden has dropped out:
BREAKING: Joe Biden exited the race! All donations are 500% MATCHED to our Kamala Harris Turnout Fund.
The grift flows again! Rejoice! The corporatist news propaganda outlets must be mad with joy!
To be honest, it won't hurt me, either. What's good for CBS is sometimes good for Ohio Barbarian's Revolutionary American Commentary, too.

This explanation somewhat easier to follow because it is less compressed but still interpretation is monumental.

Four years for Vance to learn the job and be a modern day Lincoln without the secret skeletons
