Below is my column in the New York Post on the withdrawal of Robert Kennedy, Jr. from the presidential race and his endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Kennedy’s speech resonated with many long-time Democrats who have found themselves estranged from the party. While Kennedy remains an independent, it is a cautionary tale that is being missed in the “joy” theme of the Democratic National Convention. The fact is that new Republicans are often not the product of ideology and association but anxiety and exclusion. Democrats make Republicans.
Here is the column:
The withdrawal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the presidential race and his endorsement of former President Donald Trump was yet another extraordinary moment in an election that has been anything but predictable.
Only a year ago, it would have been unthinkable that a sitting president would be effectively forced off a ticket and replaced by a candidate who did not secure a single vote for president.
Now, the nephew of John F. Kennedy and son of the Robert F. Kennedy has not just withdrawn from the Democratic Party but endorsed the Republican nominee.
Amidst all of the claimed “joy” of the Democratic National Convention, there is a sobering reality that is being ignored by the ecstatic press and pundits: this is how Democrats make Republicans.
There is an old expression that “a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.”
Irving Kristol explained the neoconservative movement was built by Democrats “mugged by reality.”
Kennedy has not become a Republican but rather joined the roughly half of Americans now identifying as independents. While this country is solidly under the hold of a duopoly of power in the two main parties, only 25% of the country identify as Democrats, and 25% as Republicans.
Kennedy’s departure from the Democrats has been mocked in the press. However, when he spoke on his withdrawal, many of us who have been lifetime members of the party identified with his remarks.
I come from a politically active liberal Democratic family in Chicago. I spent much of my life working for liberals since I first came to Washington as a Democratic House page in the 1970s. I did stints on the Hill or on campaigns with Democrats ranging from Rep. Sid Yates (Ill.) to Sen. William Proxmire (Wis.) to Mo Udall (Arz.). I even worked on the campaign and ran for delegate for RFK Jr.’s uncle, Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Then the party changed. Where once they defended free speech, Democrats have rallied behind censorship and blacklisting of those with opposing views. They have sought to block dozens of Republicans from ballots, including former President Trump. To make matters worse, they have done so in the supposed name of democracy.
Those actions were raised by Kennedy in his powerful and poignant withdrawal speech. He detailed how the Democratic party moved to stop him from running against President Biden in the primary, including efforts to block him from ballots. It was an ironic moment. After harassing candidates like RFK and Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, the Democratic leadership then simply installed their choice at the convention in an unprecedented bait-and-switch.
There could have been a substantive primary that exposed the diminished mental state of Biden and allowed for a democratic choice on the best nominee. Instead, the Democrats prevented such choices from being made and selected a leader with all of the transparency and deliberation of a party Congress in China.
Kennedy said that the Democratic Party has virtually shoved him and other voters into the arms of Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
Kennedy observed that “I began this journey as a Democrat, the party of my father, my uncle, the party which I pledged my own allegiance to long before I was old enough to vote.”
He said that his party was the one that championed free speech, government transparency, and opposed unjust wars. “True to its name, it was the party of democracy.”
He said that the party has turned its back on all of the values that once defined it. For former Democrats like Kennedy, running on “joy” is no substitute for these profound changes in the party.
Indeed, the DNC bordered on the creepy as speaker after speaker sold the idea that, if voters could just swallow the Harris candidacy, they would immediately experience joy like some political prozac commercial.
It is not clear whether the red pill/blue pill pitch will be enough, or whether Kennedy’s endorsement will turn the critical votes in swing states.
However, the DNC showed how Democrats make Republicans. The unrelenting identity politics and claims of defending democracy (while opposing democratic choice) only reaffirmed for many that there is no longer a big tent in the party of Roosevelt and Kennedy.
There is a serious question whether John F. Kennedy would recognize or support the current Democratic Party. It now rejects many of his core, mainstream values.
His nephew highlighted the irony of how the party not only worked to block the ability of opponents to challenge President Biden but worked to “conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting president.”
Even the Washington Post recently admitted that “the 81-year-old had shown signs of slipping for a long time, but his inner circle worked to conceal his decline.”
However, the Post failed to note that Vice President Kamala Harris was part of that inner circle. Indeed, she has been touting her close work with Biden in her campaign.
There is little recognition that, if true, it means that Harris, the White House, and leading Democrats lied to the public about Biden’s mental decline for their own political interests.
For Kennedy, it was all too much “and, most sadly … in the name of saving Democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it, lacking confidence in its candidate, that its candidate could win in a fair election at the voting booth.”
There is little “joy” in that.
Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University. He is the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage” (Simon & Schuster).
Jonathan: How to wrap up the news of the week? It was a a toss up between two really “weirdos”–JD Vance or Elon Musk. I chose the latter because he really got bad news this week.
Not just any bank, but the World Bank just pulled ALL it’s advertising from X. You can guess why. It was all that “X-rated” racist, antisemitic, neo-Nazi, right-wing conspiracy and assorted hate speech that keeps popping next to WB ads. In one recent incident there was a racist post that praised Europe’s colonization of Africa–right next to a WB ad that is trying to raise money for African development. In a statement WB said it “had already reduced its paid marketing on X”…but this latest incident is entirely unacceptable, and we are immediately ceasing all paid marketing on X”. WB is the world’s largest development institution. That’s a big hit for Musk. Will Musk ad the World Bank as a defendant in his lawsuit against advertisers? Now that would be a smart move!
Then, Benzinga financial news is reporting (8/23/24) that “as Twitter’s revenue collapses by 84% Tesla bulls fear Elon Musk will liquidate more Tesla stock bringing its value down for everyone”. In the second quarter this year X made only $114 million in revenue. That’s a massive drop compared to the $661 million Twitter made in the same quarter in 2020– just before Musk bought the platform. For Musk, when it rains it pours. If he didn’t have bad luck he wouldn’t have any luck at all!
Why does the World Bank advertise?
But clearly WB, the world’s largest shylock, doesn’t like it when it is called out for being what it is
Jonathan: How to wrap up the news of the week? It was a a toss up between two really “weirdos”–JD Vance or Elon Musk.
Jonathan, as far as weirdness goes, nothing says “weirdo” more than your dear close personal friend Dennis McIntyre, pimping the Soviet Democrat line that men can get pregnant. Just as it’s extremely weird (and perverted) for Dennis McIntyre to demand that women submit to Dennis’ demands that he has a right to use the little girls’ bathroom and compete against girls in sports.
Imagine it: truly weird and perverted communists like Dennis, Tampon Tovarisch Tim, and Communist Kamala saying that normal Americans who don’t believe men can get pregnant are the ones who are weird.
As far as real news, what we get is that Cheap Fake News from Dennis the Cheap Fake American. A real news wrap up of the week would be Dennis McIntyre explaining what happened to the 330,000 missing Illegal Alien children that Border Czar Kamala Harris handed over to child traffickers and sex slavers.
Shocking Report: Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General Releases Report Findings that Border Czar Kamala Harris Has Lost 330,000 Migrant Children
https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Mga/2024/oig-24-46-aug24.pdf
Jonathan… your dear personal friend Dennis channels his weirdness on to those he fears just as he channels his guilt for the acts and crimes of Soviet Democrats he pimps for on to others. I would imagine that Dennis is here to desperately attempt to distract normal Americans from learning about the Border Czar’s most criminal failure of future Democrat voters.
Freud would have needed a platoon of fellow psychiatrists to try and deal with the psychotic weirdness of Dennis McIntyre and his channeling behavior.
Dennis-
RFK, Tulsi, Trump, JD, Elon, etc. are all former life-long Democrats.
They woke up.
Get it?
* Readers
This thread is worth reading. Old Airborne Dog takes it away.
Wiser people just garden, I’m guessing.
Thanks P Turley
Dennis – the world Bank is NOT a bank in the traditional sense. They are an international organization that brokers loans to to developing and often struggling countries.
The WB is not posting SM adds saying Call 1 800 World Bank to open your personal savings account.
What have they had all of two adds on Twitter/X in the past year ?
Musk is a self admitted “weirdo” – I have never understood this idiotic attack by the left.
First it is being made by people who mostly do not have an inch of skin that is not tattooed or peirced, and have hair that has not been a natural color in a decade.
All things you are free to do, but having done them calling others weird is hillariously hypocritcal.
With respect to Musk – NASA just announced that SpaceX is going to rescue the stranded astronauts because Boeing can not deliver their safe return.
Musk it the kind of wierd we need. And he is in good company – Howard Hughes was weird. Warren Buffet is weird, Albert Einstein is weird.
And Gov. Walz is weird in a really creepy way.
I currently do very little on X – Contra your claim it is still chock full of left wing nuts who keep trying to argue that reality responds to their whims. If you walk off the roof of a 40 story building Gravity is not merely a viewpoint.
I have spent enough time on X do grasp that once again you are LYING – X is STILL a left dominated platform.
It is not crawling with racists and nazi, and the only antisemites are on the left.
Returning to WB – Jophn Easterly – one of the worlds top developmental economists can be found in long form debates and discussions on Youtube – calling them debates is really a misnomer – because the difference between Easterly and the socalled left developmental economists is tiny.
Regardless What Easterly – and most of the rest of the foreign aid to developing countries analysts are pretty close to agreed on is that if anything WB and other foreign aide tpo developing countries as on net been BAD for them not good.
Over the past 40 years Africa has gotten 1T in foreign aide. The results – pretty much nothing.
One of the problems that those of you on the left are clueless about is that helping others effectively is extremely difficult – and fundimentally has little to do with money.
So no – I do not give a schiff about the WB.
” In one recent incident there was a racist post that praised Europe’s colonization of Africa”
Europe’s colonization of Africa was on net good for Africa. Conditions in Africa have DECLINED as european nations left.
Africa has an enormous population, it has vast natural resources. It remains the poorest and worst governed part of the world – long after Europeans left.
It is not racist to state things that are factually correct.
Regardles WB is free to advertize where they want. I am sure Musk is saying good riddance to them.
” WB is the world’s largest development institution.”
Correct – it is a giant boondoggle that has made pretty much everywhere it goes WORSE off.
European colonization resulted in net improvements in much of africa. Can you name anywhere that is better because of the WB ?
“That’s a big hit for Musk.”
What all $2 of there advertising ?
“Benzinga financial news”
How about a real source ? Forbes, Financial Times ?
Twitter is privately held – it does not report its revenue publicly.
I would not that X cut staffing by 70% – there operating costs are FAR lower for the same amount of traffic.
And this is the real reason for the war on X from the left.
Google, FB, and other SM outlets have been forced to follow X in cutting staff – because those companies ARE public and sharehilders do not tolerate companies spending massive amounts of money on useless and politically biased content moderation that alienates users.
If you want to talk about ACTUALLY losing money and risking collapse,
try WaPo or NYT or LAT or CNN or all the left wing nut outlets.
“Not just any bank, but the World Bank . . .”
You are right. The WB is not “just any bank.” In fact, it’s not a bank, at all.
It’s a socialist redistribution institution. It takes money looted from productive citizens (especially Americans) and doles it out to unproductive ones.
The good professor apparently doesn’t feel it’s worth noting that the so-called “big tent” GOP has shamed and censured Republican Governors, Secretaries of State, Congress members & election officials for the unspeakable crime of certifying Biden’s 2020 election victory after multiple recounts.
It’s truly unthinkable that 24 of Trump’s close White House advisors & aides now call him unfit for office. It’s unprecedented in US history for a President’s own Vice President to refuse to support his reelection by proclaiming “Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.”
NY Post contributer Turley has never hidden his contempt for Judge Luttig & the dozen other lifelong Republicans who worked in the Reagan, Bush 41 & Bush 43 White House & who this week issued the powerful & poignant message that they are now endorsing Kamala Harris.
Presumably, Turley’s politically active Democratic family doesn’t recognize or support today’s Democratic party. But RFK Jrs siblings call his endorsement of Trump “a flagrant and inexplicable effort to desecrate and trample and set fire to my father’s memory.”
Did it ever occur to you that these people do not have your best interests at heart?
It’s truly unthinkable that 24 of Trump’s close White House advisors & aides now call him unfit for office.
It’s not the slightest bit unthinkable that practically every single Soviet Democrat politician (and cowardly Anonymous apparatchik) and Mainstream News Media Propagandist, who just months ago were saying Kamala Harris was too incompetent to even be Vice President have now completely changed their minds. They now say that Kamala Harris and Tampon Tovarisch Tim are now the perfect candidates for president – better even than Bolshevik Barack ever was.
Nobody here can honestly say they’ve never seen a cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat try this sort of desperate deflection before they saw this post. After all, as President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Sex Showers likes to brag while being the face of their party: If We Ain’t Lyin’, We Ain’t Really Tryin’.
That is why these feckless and cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrats are merely Cheap Fake Americans.
“Nobody here can honestly say they’ve never seen a cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat try this sort of desperate deflection before they saw this post.”
It’s fun to see Trump supporters hyperventilating about a post which accurately reports that 24 of Trump’s White House advisors & aides call him unfit for office & his VP refuses to endorse him. Breathtaking yet predictable deflection, Old Airborne Dog.
Really, leas time in Vix and The Atlantic would do you some good
“a flagrant and inexplicable effort” Nothing inexplicable about it. He is opposed to the creation of a police state by the Democrtice Party. The fact that he can see this threat and they can’t just shows that they are not very bright or perhaps simply no longer engaged with reality.
ATS not this nonsense again ?
Words have meanings – a Recount means you actually count the ballots over.
That occured in Maricopa County AZ, Windham NH, and Antrim WI.
There is nowhere else in 2020 that actually had a full county wide recount. There were no statewide recounts.
There were a few other Random recounts of precincts. There were also some recanvases – which are not recounts.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was freinds with Barry Goldwater.
RFK is consistent with the legacy of his father and uncle. The rest of the family is not.
I would also note that Many of the leading people attacking Trump today – Oprah, the women of the View celebrated him and urged him to run for president a bit more than 20 years ago – on the same policies he is running on today.
Probably there were kennedy’s in the Trump fan club back in 2011.
And yes there is no doubt that the kennedy’s are today far to the left or John and Robert Kennedy.
“A dozen Republican White House lawyers who served in the administrations of then-Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris….”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-lawyers-who-advised-reagan-bush-endorse-harris-over-trump-2024-showdown
The warmongers have moved to the left, duh, that happened under obama
SteveJ… the breaking news you sort of hoped you could skate right past:
Bipartisan Investigation Into President Biden’s Finances Details Evidence Of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Accepting Bribes And Money Laundering While Vice President
https://oversight.house.gov/report/report-of-the-impeachment-inquiry-of-joseph-r-biden-jr-president-of-the-united-states-of-america/
But you want to talk about former employees of other Republican presidents instead – which sure sounds reminiscent of “51 Intelligence Agency Experts assure Americans before presidential debate that Biden Laptop is fake Russian election disinformation”.
Some of that Biden Bribery Money end up in your pockets, Stevie?
So establishment “Republican” lawyers do not want to vote for the Republican nominee who won the most votes in a contested primary against a field of several qualified contenders.
Instead, these “Republican” lawyers will vote for a far left Democrat who did not receive a single vote in the Democrat primaries. A woman who was installed as the nominee after the Democrat elite conducted a coup against the rightful winner of the Democrat primaries, nullifying the votes of 14 million voters. And these clowns pretend they are voting for the installed Democrat rather than the President who won the Democrat primaries because they care so much about “our democracy.”
They are called Republican In Name Only (RINO) for a very good reason.
Signers include Luttig and a descendent of Wendal Wilkie. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
@SteveJ: You have provided a dozen lawyers who do not support Trump. Most of them are virtually unknown. There are thousands of attorneys connected to the federal government. That tells us Trump is doing pretty good 12/1,000’s.
We can look at this another way, using the chessboard example. You have a dozen weak pawns (literally pawns of the left). Trump has RFK, a King; Brian Kemp, another King; Tulsi Gabbard, a Queen; Elon Musk, a King who owns the game. We can add other people like Nikki Haley, a rook; Desantis, a King in Florida; Rick Perry, a King in Texas; etc.
Trump supporters trump your pawns.
Well, actually, all I did was post a link to Fox News.
@stevej: “all I did was post a link to Fox ,” with the idea of pushing the fact that a dozen dopy lawyers were against Trump. We experienced a similar article where 51 from the IC did the same thing.
Steve – and 51 current or former high-ranking government officials told us that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. Politics trumps truth in Washington D.C.
In Other Future News: “After France Arrests Telegram CEO, Social Media Outlets Ban All Politicians from Their Platforms…World Peace Follows.”
The arrest of major social media platform CEO Pavel Durov by France for allegedly failing to moderate and censor users that politicians objected to, the leadership of every social media outfit on the internet returned the favor by cancelling the accounts of all politicians worldwide.
One CEO commented, “We unified and took this action as a necessary step to address the French Government’s concern of allegations that Telegram was not sufficiently censoring content that, as they put it, encoraged terrorism, misinformation, war, and hatred amongst people. We believe the quickest and most effective method to addresss these problems would be to revoke the accounts of the all world’s politicians.”
It seems that afterward an unforseen benefit was delivered to humanity in that once the politicians were cut out of the conversation and muzzed, ordinary people got along with each other and were actually happier, since they were no longer whipped up into rage and hatred by the lies, saber rattling, and hatred promoted by politicians seeking their own personal enrichment. People also discovered they could manage their own affairs and lives quite well on their own, and in most cases better than before.
A man on a tractor in a remote village was quoted, “Our prime minister said last year on Twitter that those on the other side of the mountain were our mortal enemy. I’ve never seen them personally. But I guess I hated them. Now that nothing is going on with Twitter from the ministry of information I thought I would see for myself and crossed the mountain to meet these folks. Turns out they needed their fields seeded so I sewed a few crops for them. Now I have this nice wife for my effort. What did that prime minister ever do for us? Glad someone finally shut him up.”
His comment was not unique as most everyone finally cured themselves of the crack-cocaine-like addiction to politicians’ whims and instead moved on to more important matters such as videos of cats doing silly things and men getting hit in the crotch with flying objects.
most everyone finally cured themselves of the crack-cocaine-like addiction to politicians’ whims and instead moved on to more important matters such as videos of …..
….opera singers, old videos of 1960/70s TV sitcoms, and classic rock ‘n roll groups performing great hits. At least those are my new “go-to” sources for breaks from science-ing / medicine at work/home
On a serious note, I saw the following headline:
Doug Emhoff is the modern woman’s dream man – The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/…..
and thought of Cuba.
When I last visited Cuba, the first thing that struck me were the phrases of propaganda plastered all over the place. Capitalism advertising billboards were replaced with government sponsored billboards and murals on buildings, with phrases like “patria o muerte” (liberty or death), “viva la revolucion” and numerous Jose Marti phrases taken out of context to support Fidel Castro.
It’s happening here in America. I am dead serious.
Better dead than red or better red than dead? decisions, decisions.
“patria o muerte” (liberty or death)
the correct translation is “country” not liberty.
Like I said before, when listening to the English broadcast of Radio Moscow on shortwave during the 80’s I couldn’t believe they would waste time telling such obvious propaganda and lies since nobody here in the U.S. would believe it. (they would be more effective in just telling the truth) It was laughable in its fakery.
In the past several years I can sadly say that far too many Americans have devolved into believing everything they are told by politicians and media they claim allegience to. And they believe it is a sacred duty to promote this propaganda to everyone around them. They have been reduced to being radio repeater stations: They are activated and take in signals on one frequency, and replay it out on another.
* good dream, Darren Smith…
Obama just completed his Coup D’etat in America and deceived, maneuvered, and manipulated his way into a fourth term.
“Tampon Tim,” the “weird” and treasonous U.S. Army soldier-cum-Chinese covert agent, will be his goofy figurehead vice president.
Kamala Harris received no money and no votes and magically beat the entire field of Democratic candidates in the 2024 primaries, saving their “democracy.”
By sleeping with Willy Brown, Kamala Harris became president of the United States of America.
Kamala Harris’ CV: A ten-year affair with a married-with-children corrupt political benefactor.
Americans must be charitable and compassionate.
Americans must give their country away on a silver platter.
Article Idiot of the U.S. Constitution mandates that.
The Founders designed the giveaway and full transference of the country as their “original intent.”
Or not.
Biden’s AG Merrick Garland issued a threat to voters on the same day RFK Jr. joined forces with Trump.
Today, Biden’s Secret Service pulled its protection from RFK Jr. While the lying, criminal, evil Dr. Tony Fauci still has 24/7 government-provided protection and government paid driver.
Garland warned that no disputing of election results will be tolerated. He proudly dangled the 1,400 J6 arrests (and still counting) and malicious prosecutions as proof of their intent to hunt down Trump voters and Republicans if they dare rise up in protest over the election results.
Non-citizens, illegals, are already voting. The swing-state rigging of the election is well underway.
The media are openly, proudly in the tank for Kamala/Walz and Democrat party.
No one can even imagine what October will bring.
What do we do when they steal another election and a weaponized, captured, rogue government unleashes hell on this country?
What is necescary is to Win DESPITE the fraud – and then use the power of government to go after and end the fraud in the future.
I would note ALOT of things are different from 2020.
In Nov 6 2020 most of us expereinces a growing smell of fish rotting. The greater the efforts to fight inquiry the more rancid the smell became.
At the same time it was Not clear how results that stunk to high heaven had come about.
There was lots of anecdotal evidence – mailin voting provides numerous oportunities for Fraud.
The failure of states to have results by midnight – or ever DAYS later – the longer it takes to count ballots the greater the likelyhood of fraud.
But what was NOT known is precisely how the large scale fraud was committed.
Today we know.
While there is evidence of problems with tabulators, and cheif executives in these companies made statements that sounded alot like commitment to assure a biden victory through fraud if necescary, and there is clearly lots that must be fixed about the systems used to count ballots – or the simpler solution – GET RID OF THEM – they are not necescary.
Still in the end despite many problems – and even more in 2022, it is not the election equipment that flipped the election in 2020 – even if there are serious problems.
There is also ALOT of evidence of election officials scanning large numbers of ballots over and over – Especially in Atlanta where there is significant evidence that thousands of ballots were scanned many times. This is something that happens in every election,
Someone has been arrested for it in Philadelphia probably every election in my lifetime.
Still outside Atlanta the scale of this problem was not large enough to flip the election.
There is also evidence of massive numbers of ballots coming into counting centers via Truck that are unrecorded – except for surveailance video or afadavits. It is possible that this was massive in Philadelphia and Detroit. Philadelphia still has nearly 200,000 more ballots than voters. I beleive there is a similar problem in Detroit, but Philly is local to me so I know more about post election inquiries.
Still except for possibly PA and MI it is unlikely that this flipped the election.
What we have learned – and Democrats have confessed to and bragged about is massive and illegal ballot harvesting.
In 2020 ballot harvesting was only legal in CA. Unfortunately in 2024 several states have made it legal – including WI.
Regardless, both the AZ audit and the TTV Geofencing and security video work – as well as the Time article in which Democrats essentially confessed. Prove massive ballot harvesting in 2020.
The only open question is whether that illegal ballot harvesting was merely an agressive GOTV effort with real voters, being induced coerced into voting with democrat operatives illegally hand carrying these ballots to unattended drop boxes,
Or whether these were forged ballots manufactured in Democrat 501C3’s
Regardless, We KNOW that there was a massive illegal ballot harvesting operating and at the very least we can prove that beyond any doubt in 2024.
It took TTV almost 2 yrs and myriads of FOIA requests even lawsuits to obtain security video from unattended ballot boxes in 6 states.
In 2024 there is hopefully a massive effort to observe unattended ballot boxes in swing states and to report fraudulent activity to the police immediately. At the very least there will be massive documentation of the illegal ballot harvesting – probably BEFORE election day. It will be harder for courts to bury their heads in the sand.
The other thing that is critical is that it is much more likely that Trump will win the popular vote – or at the worst that it will be incredibly close. In 2020 Trump had significant difficulty getting the attention of the courts – partly because he lost the popular vote. While that is not the criteria for elections, or the law, it can not help but impact the courts.
The closer the election is the more likely the courts will take fraud claims seriously.
The republican GOTV effort is critical – because the greater the fraud that democrats must engage in the more likely they will get caught – and that will be devastating to the democratic party.
And the greater the Trump vote the more likely Fraud allegations will be taken serious.
But Trump has another “trump card” in 2024 – and that is all the crazy schiff that democrats have pulled.
They not merely lied – but they orchastrated a polot to deceive voters – lying about the Hunter Biden Laptop and censoring stories about it
They engaged in all this illegal and unconstitutional lawfare against Trump
And against Kennedy,
And against Stein.
Then after the primary they staged a coup against their own candidate, and replaced that candidate with someone who has never gotten a single vote.
At every turn Democrats get caught letting the ends justify the means – their whole campaign is based on that.
Nother is more important to them than beating Trump.
Not the law
not the constitution
not their integrity.
When you burn your credibility the to ground – there is alot less you can get away with.
So for many reasons – while Fraud is likely in 2024.
It will be harder to pull off.
Everyone is watching.
And no one trusts democrats.

“Naomi Wolf Issues Emergency Warning To Trump Regarding Ongoing Deep State Coup”
Robert Kennedy Jr. has released a ten minute film about the border crisis. Please watch it and share it with your family and friends. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5rxw_X1zb2I&pp=ygUrT3BlbiBib3JkZXJzIGluIHJ1cmFsIEFtZXJpY2E6IGEgc2hvcnQgZmlsbQ%3D%3D
It’s not Dem vs GOP anymore. It’s time to split up folks, nice and peacefully like the Czechs and the Slovaks did. The union cannot be reconstituted.
You basically have two countries but with what’s left of the real United States sitting between two foreign undemocratic geographies you would have to have three (or some terrible situation like Pakistan and Bangladesh). There would be:
1. The real United States
2. The West Coast, southern AZ and NM over to Elpaso (or they could reconstitute into Mexico if they preferred) and
3. Atlantis, which would be made up of New England, NJ, DE and NY, PA, MD and Northern VA east of the Allegheny and Monongahela and Potomac.
Atlantis, you might need that Army back that you kicked out 30 years ago. And get those wind farms cranking since you stopped fracking and building pipe lines
Chicago and Denver, you’ll learn to love us
Eastern Oregon and WA, you’re already in our fold
Northern Maine, sorry but I don’t know what do with you
dennis byron —- Colorado would go with the Left Coast, so would end up including Nevada and even Utah.
Eastern Oregon and Washington, where I live, would go with the economics and stick with the Left Coast.
Eventually Idaho and Montana, even Wyoming would join the Left Coast; economics wins again!
This is all so confusing. Can’t we just go back to the Mason/Dixon Line? Start over. Someone get General Milley to reoccupy Fort Sumter. Love to see that pull out.
Wait, maybe we could get the Brits to invade, again. We could dress Musk up as Jean Laffite. So many possibilities.
What does that even mean? “economics wins again”?
Who, exactly, “wins” in a Dem/socialist economy? Alongside a lawless society where shampoo is under lock & key, shelves are empty, and stores are closing due to high crime?
You make no sense.
What does that even mean? “economics wins again”?
David Benson is a feckless communist liar who very well knows that California is an economic disaster area, not some sort of ‘economics wins again’ Marxist utopia.
Those Soviet Democrat west coast communist utopias were bailed out by Bribery Biden and the Soviet Democrats right after the 2020 election – and they’re already on the verge of bankruptcy again.
Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming want to hook up with the Soviet Democrat communist, high tax states on the west coast? Where does he claim he read that?
If nothing else told you David Benson was Lyin’ Like A Proud Joe Biden, that should have.
David B. Benson is a Cheap Fake American and Soviet Democrat communist apparatchik.
Idaho owns your water supply, we’d never go with the degenerates and commies west of the cascades, but you’re right, economics will win and your water will become very expensive, dumbass
Eastern Oregon and Washington, where I live, would go with the economics and stick with the Left Coast. Eventually Idaho and Montana, even Wyoming would join the Left Coast; economics wins again!
That’s David B. Benson, following his formula of Memory Holing reality while lying his Soviet Democrat ass off. First, normal Americans haven’t forgotten all the counties in eastern Washington, sick of being taxes to death to pay for Seattle’s communist dreams, attempting to break from Washington to become part of Idaho instead.
That’s the Memory Hole part David is attempting.
The Lyin’ My Soviet Democrat Ass Off part is Dennis claiming that Idaho, Montana (where I live) and Wyoming would happily join up with the again bankrupt Feces Streets Of San Francisco and Communist California.
Is David B. Benson a victim of his own Soviet Democrat Memory Hole to the point he’s forgotten that the Soviet Democrats are politically lower in those states than whale feces on the ocean floor?
Is David B. Benson predicting a Big ActBlue Communist Wave in 2024 in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming?
Nothing says economics like a rich state thats in debt.
Beahahahahaha
Someone skipped their broccoli today.
Denver and Bolder would try to go Left Coast. The rest of the state, very red, would let them.
Many people who left the failed state of CA for Nevada and Utah. They dont want that hot mess again.
Eastern Oregon is trying to flee Oregon.
Here is some hard evidence for you of how well Left Coast economics work< California says it lost $2 billion in state income taxes from earners leaving
” California narrowly balanced a $47 billion budget shortfall this year through a combination of spending cuts, shifts, deferrals, reserve withdrawals, and unofficial internal borrowing.”

Other Blue states like IL and NY are also hemorrhaging population, tax base, and jobs.

Dennis – This actually makes sense, but western Pa should go with the “real America” as should southern AZ, which is still basically conservative. NM and Colo would have no choice but to go with the “real America”, although there should be a period allowed for population transfer between the regions. At some point in the future, the “real America” would probably re-absorb the other regions.
Agreed. PA still does lots of fracking but NY doesn’t do any, stupidly turning its nose up at an economic bonanza in the name of climate cultism. It’s the big cities’ idiot liberal voters impoverishing the hard-working small town and rural folk.
edward, yes it was my intention that Western PA would stay in the real U.S.A. Did I get the rivers wrong?
Edward, yes it was my intention that Western PA would want to be part of the real USA. Did I get the rivers wrong?
* it appears to be so…in any event the USA is dissolved. Patriots have lost. Now there’s no world police. Putin can continue his invasion. North Korea can invade South Korea. Israel will be invaded. Eastern Europe and the remainder gone.
There are existing monarchies, theocracies and dictators. The young can choose their poison.
The continued vandalism at GW just continues under auspices of the population.
How Democrats Make Republicans: RFK Should Be A Wake Up Call for the Party
While it may have done that for RFK, you’ve been watching what Obama/Biden, Biden/Harris and the Soviet Democrats as a party for almost sixteen years, Professor Turley. When do you finally get your wake up call?
What you’re writing about certainly hasn’t converted you to being Republican after watching 16 years of police state fascism delivered by the DoJ, censorship, and lawfare carried out against people who whose only crime wasn’t being Trump or even Republican, but simply standing in the way of the Soviet Democrat Long March Forward i.e. parents opposing gender blending rapists in their daughters school bathrooms.
I certainly don’t expect to see you announce you’re now registered as an independent, never mind chose Trump over Obama’s Fourth Term on election day.
Maybe you’ll take the coward’s way out by writing a name in or giving your vote to the Greens?
You also have the clear right to do that as well – just as Tampon Tim Walz could take the coward’s way out of retiring when he saw the men he led as Senior NCO were headed for a combat tour instead of a coffee tour in Italy.
“Pure Democracy” – democracy without constitutional guardrails is what James Madison termed the “tyranny of the majority”.
Jim Crow laws were “pure democracy” at the local and state levels. Local officials perceived themselves as kings operating in their own little fiefdoms unbound by the U.S. Constitution.
The Trump Cult is “pure democracy” at the federal level. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was designed to provide a check & balance countering pure democracy.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies any person that supported or participated in insurrection or rebellion from ever holding any governing authority in the USA – to counter pure democracy.
Maybe Republicans should fix their own party first before pointing fingers at others?
America is not a democracy. Which is why James Madison made that statement. It is a Democratic Republic. Secondly, it has never been established beyond someone’s opinion or imagination, that any such thing as an insurrection even took place. And thirdly, that Trump or anyone else participated in any such thing as an insurrection even if it were so. And then finally, it was the Democrats that created and enforced the Jim Crow laws.
“During the Reconstruction era, local governments, as well as the national Democratic Party and President Andrew Johnson, thwarted efforts to help Black Americans move forward.”
“With the Assassination of Lincoln, the Presidency fell upon an old-fashioned southern Jacksonian Democrat (Andrew Johnson), of pronounced states’ rights views.”

America was designed and engineered to be a severely restricted-vote republic, as determined by State legislatures.
Never was America intended to be a one-man, one-vote democracy.
Turnout in 1789 was 11.6% by design.
Voter qualifications were generally male, European, 21, 50 lbs. Sterling/50 acres.
Voters were also previously qualified by immigration law, which required citizens to be “free white person(s).”
Secession was not prohibited and was fully constitutional.
Every act of Lincoln was unconstitutional from the outset, his unconstitutional denial of secession, and must be abrogated by rescinder.
Freed slaves must have been safely and compassionately repatriated per the Naturalization Act of 1802, which was in full force and effect on January 1, 1863.
Constitutional American freedom persisted for a mere 71 years until it was destroyed, not by constitutional legislation but by illicit kinetic force—a gun to America’s head.

Every act of Lincoln was unconstitutional from the outset… Freed slaves must have been safely and compassionately repatriated
Starting with his act of taking the oath of office as president, according to Kluxxer George; just as there’s nothing like compassionately “repatriating” third generation Democrat slaves who have never set foot outside massa’s plantation. Any particular reason why they didn’t “repatriate” themselves and go home at any time prior to Lincoln freeing those slaves.
Our resident Confederate Democrat and Constitutional Racist George has his hatred that Lincoln freed the slaves and now them filthy black Americans can vote saved as a file for his regularly scheduled copy and paste posts of his inner white sheet draped Kluxxer rage.

Are you one of the pedophiles in the Child Groomer Soviet Democrat Cult that was protected by Skanky Ho Harris when she was Attorney General? Or a Soviet Democrat street insurrectionist from the 2020 election campaign?
Maybe cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat pedophiles and groomers hoping for continuing protection from Harris should have claimed they were opposed to insurrection in 2016, when Bolshevik Barack and Bribery Biden went full police state fascist with their fake “Russia Dossier” to take out the elected president of the USA starting the day they failed to fix the 2016 election.
Or those same cowardly Soviet Democrat child groomers should have claimed they feared insurrection during the Election Season Of Mostly Peaceful Rioting, Pillaging, Robbing, Arson, Murder And Insurrection, when Bribery Biden and then Senator Skanky Ho Harris were encouraging their street thugs in Antifa and Black Liars & Marxists to destroy the civil society and Trump’s presidency with it.
Any child grooming Soviet Democrat Anonymous coward want to claim they don’t remember Skanky Ho Harris telling Americans about their rioting insurrectionists: “They will not stop nor should they stop”?
The reason these Anonymous Cowards supported first President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Incest Showers and now Skanky Ho Harris and Tampon Tovarisch Tim is because they promise a safe workplace for pedophiles and Anonymous Soviet Democat perverts that victimize young children.
Remember when we threw you pedophiles and child molesters in with the prison general population, cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat?
Good times, hey!
To me, what is being overlooked is that it has been the long-range objective of the Progressive Socialists of this country to subvert and overthrow the United States as part of a globalist socialist agenda. What we are seeing has not been happening just since BHO. There have been progressive Republicans and Democrats at least since the days of Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. The progressive Democrats have been the most visible and aggressive (Wilson with his League of Nations and the Federal Reserve; FDR with his socialist New Deal; LBJ with his socialist Great Society; and BHO with his socialist Green New Deal and threat to fundamentally transform America into a socialist country), but the progressive Republicans have done their part to support the effort by continually voting to increase spending, warmongering, voting for anti-American trade deals, etc. There is no way that the progressive Democrats could have accomplished this much had there been a true, constitutionally founded opposition. What we have is a uni-party (the Establishment) that masquerades as two parties. (Pat Buchanan called them the two wings of the same vulture.) There are no such things as the parties of JFK and Reagan. JFK bucked the uni-party, and we know what happened to him as a warning to any future presidents who should try the same. Uni-party adherents are embedded in government agencies and are part of the Deep State, which tries to thwart anything that is contrary to progressive goals. What has been happening since BHO is the maturing of the long-range goals of the uni-party globalists to subject America to their agenda. They are now so close to reaching their goals that they don’t try to hide them anymore. So although it seems like this has been going on for a relatively short time and seemingly came out of nowhere, it’s been simmering for over a hundred years. This is all smoke and mirrors. Of course, the US globalists are part of a worldwide globalist agenda, and they have their own masters.
This doesn’t mean that there aren’t any honest people who call themselves Democrats or Republicans, but they usually aren’t in positions to make a difference. The ones who were/are, i.e. JFK, Reagan, Trump, and now RFK, had to/have to watch their backs.
Yeah well, there’s going to be a problem this time around with large numbers of registered Republicans leaving the Presidential section of the ballot blank. The Republicans needed to nominate someone 20 years younger than Trump who would support SOME of what Trump has espoused. While also expressing the need to reduce government.
Yeah well, there’s going to be a problem this time around with large numbers of registered Republicans leaving the Presidential section of the ballot blank.
SteveJ says he and the rest of the NeverTrumpers are so conservative and constitutional that they are more than willing to have at Obama’s Fourth Term proved by neo-communists Harris and Walz.
I’m left wondering where SteveJ got that information about the rest of his NeverTrumpers.
Normal Americans can explain what they don’t like about Trump’s policies so much so that they’d rather suffer another four years under Harris and Walz.
I’m suspecting this is more about emotions talking than basic common sense and a choice between who will be the next president.
“SteveJ says he and the rest of the NeverTrumpers are so conservative and constitutional that they are more than willing to have at Obama’s Fourth Term proved by neo-communists Harris and Walz.”
No. SteveJ gave some objective political analysis. Doesn’t matter whether I or anybody else likes it or not. It’s the current state of affairs.
Turley talks about an unusual election year. To that end, where was Mike Pence at the convention? You know, the guy who “lacks courage.”
For that matter, where was George W. Bush? Ever heard of a former President not being at the party’s convention? Do you think that’s some minor incident with no electoral ramifications?
Clown, former presidents appear when their conventions are engaged in nominating someone.
As any clown might know, you’re either nominating or re-nominating someone at a convention. And former Presidents appear in either case. Ronald Reagan in ’92, for example. You skipped the part about the absence of Pence.
@SteveJ: Strangely, I don’t care where Clinton’s family friend GWB was during that convention. You might not realize this, but a lot of Republicans, Democrats and independents aren’t thrilled with GWB’s neocon position and globalist attitudes.
He’s not one of my favorite people. But that isn’t the point. It is unusual to leave a former President out of a party convention. You skipped the absence of Pence. And the fact remains that Trump has to make up for a deficit of registered Republicans that won’t vote for him.
For this, he doesn’t have a lot of room for error. Refusing to give a concession speech and show up to the previous inauguration like any other 12-year-old would do didn’t exactly play well with a large portion of Republicans, Democrats and independents that you speak of.
For this, he doesn’t have a lot of room for error.
Unlike Harris of course who is sailing to victory after her coup to take out the current president.
SteveJ says Harris has this in the bag with lots of room for error because there’s NO WAY that normal fellow Democrats who aren’t his fellow Soviet Democrats will refuse to vote for Harris after YEARS of top Democrats say she isn’t even suitable for the position of Vice President.
Let’s talk about the other unusual things to have at a party convention that SteveJ apparently didn’t notice lat week.
Let’s start with the current president suddenly “voluntarily” dropping out of the race with the nomination already secured, just days before the convention.
Let’s call it what it is: the first coup where a former president took out his former Vice President and now President, right before the convention through threats and coercion. Usually Soviet Democrats like SteveJ wouldn’t hide from reality like 12 year olds and wouldn’t turn a blind eye to the truth.
Then there’s the replacement nominee being chosen without a vote, or a by-your-leave from delegates that had already given their votes to Biden prior to the convention. If Trump did that, SteveJ would be rushing to post “That’s a threat to our democracy!!!!”
I wouldn’t trust SteveJ to have the ability (or more accurately the honesty) to list unusual events at a party convention.
It’s clear that SteveJ is just another Cheap Fake Soviet Democrat with nothing other than BBBUUUUTTTT…. MUH TRUMP!!!!”
It really does get aggravating with one BS post after another from these Cheap Fake Soviet Democrat political apparatchiks.
@SteveJ.: You provided another reason not to like GWB too much. Pence is another politician. His feelings were hurt, but when he pulls the lever, it will be for Trump. The Never Trumpets consist of mostly despicable people and warmongers. They aren’t my type, either. Trump is used to facing Rino Republicans. He had to do that with the Rinos in Congress as President.
I don’t know if I would give Biden such respect since he lied and his Party cheated. I take lying and cheating more seriously.
We will see. What Trump faces is the media, social media, and Google, which makes sure that positive things about Trump are hard to find. If that were the type of media you prefer (I don’t think it true) it wouldn’t say much for you.
If the media was neutral and people paid attention, Harris would be blown away.
No. SteveJ gave some objective political analysis.
No, SteveJ lied his ass off in true Soviet Democrat fashion by inferring he had insider knowledge that NeverTrump Republicans would rather live under Obama’s Fourth Term than have their fight with Trump with him in office instead of Harris.
Lying your ass off while performing as a Soviet Democrat Cheap Fake political apparatchik is not “objective political analysis”.
If we’re going to be guessing, there’s going to be a lot more Democrats refusing to vote for the current communist Soviet Democrat now the party nominee than Republicans not voting for Trump. Does SteveJ’s Memory Hole lead him to forget all the Democrats that were just over a month ago saying that Harris wasn’t fit to be president? But we’re supposed to believe SteveJ saying the Republicans have to worry about the ones who won’t vote the top of the ticket – not the Soviet Democrats?
Doesn’t matter if SteveJ changes his user name to SeveJ, he’s still lying his ass off and working as a Soviet Democrat Apparatchik while pushing fake narratives that there is no evidence to support.
For that matter, let’s remember what Bribery Biden proudly bragged about his fellow Soviet Democrats like SteveJ:
If We Ain’t Lyin’, We Ain’t Really Tryin’
By golly, you’ve convinced me. Very persuasive.
“Ever heard of a former President not at a Party’s convention?” Yes, in fact. I’m sure that Truman never attended a Democrat convention after 1952, and I don’t think Eisenhower attended the 1964 or 1968 Republican conventions. People used to go home and stay there
JD Vance is next batter up should something take out Trump. Conservatives aren’t going anywhere, and neither will our Nation.
* The loons and drunktards shoed up early today.
Kudos to Kennedy and Turley for calling out the Democratic Party’s recent anti-democratic policies. But they seem to forget that this is not wholly new. Bobby Kennedy in particular should remember the 1960 Presidential election, when Nixon was denied the electoral victory he had earned.
Turley has it exactly backwards. Trump is so toxic that traditional Republicans want nothing to do with him. You have to wonder why Trump’s own VP didn’t show up for him–Oh, wait–maybe it’s because Trump sent an angry mob to lynch him when he refused to help rig the election in 2020. You have to wonder why former President Bush didn’t show up to endorse him–like Obama and Clinton did for Harris. It is traditional for former presidents to endorse their party’s presidential nominee. You have to wonder why so many members of his former administration are speaking out against him–like Gen. Kelly and General Milley, both of whom say that Trump told them he didn’t like wounded veterans or amputees to be in his presence because he didn’t like the optics–this from a draft-dodging coward. You have to wonder why traditional Republicans formed The Lincoln Project and The Bulwark, and why there is a group of Republicans endorsing Harris oever Trump.
RFK is literally crazy–he admitted that he picked up a road-kill bear cub, intending to take it home, skin it and eat it, but changed his mind and dragged the carcass into Central Park, along with a bicycle, trying to make it look like a cyclist killed the bear cub. Then, there’s his anti-vaxx messaging and conspiracy theories. HIs own siblings have formally condemned him for trading on the Kennedy name and legacy. And, Turley says Democrats are “creepy”? What could be creepier than a fat slob who brags about grabbing women by their genitalia, sexually assaulting and defaming a woman, lying on financial statements and loan applications, sending an angry mob to attack Congress because he lost an election, stealing classified documents, and then standing in front of an American flag and lying, lying lying? So, Turley, you’re not going to try to lend credence to MAGA world’s effort to steal the “weird” label Gov. Walz gave it by claiming that Democrats are “creepy”.
You, Turley, are spinning falsehoods when you claim that mulitiple speakers asked Democrats to “swallow” Harris–she is far more qualified, level-headed and competent than Trump and her message is clear and resonates–there’s nothing to “swallow” except the promise of a brighter future, especially for the middle class, that doesn’t include a fat loser who believes that the American Presidency exists for him to “get retribution”, to award tax breaks to the wealthiest, to establish concentration camps for those seeking asylum, to establish a monarchial presidency in which the POTUS controls all agencies, personnel and their missions, a total abortion ban, cutting back on school lunches and SNAP benefits, ban on IVF, elimination of the Department of Education and NOAA, doing away with environmental and consumer protections and pushing the agenda for the fossil fuel industry, among other things, most of which most Americans do not want. Then, there’s the tariffs, which economists agree will drive inflation. Harris’s message is positive–she wants to help people achieve the American dream; Trump’s message is that America is in decline–which is just another of his big, fat lies. Our economy is the envy of the world. Unemployment is at a 50 year low. And, you’re not going to get away with trying to make the case that Joe Biden is demented–a nonstop theme of your employer that is a lie. Where is the proof? Biden got America over COVID, got us back to work, back to school, businesses and restaurants opened again and travel restored. We would still be wallowing in a recession if Trump could have cheated his way back into power again. Biden’s speech at the DNC, as well as his legislative and diplomatic successes prove he is strong and competent.
Turley, the entire premise of today’s little purchased trash piece is very flawed–since Harris came on the scene, Trump lost the small lead he had, is behind in the polls and her lead is growing–so they trot out Turley. Fortunately, regular readers who aren’t MAGA know that everything you write is slanted and purchased by Fox, and therefore, not credible.
“Trump sent an angry mob to lynch him (Pence) when he refused to help rig the election in 2020.”
Now you’ve really hit the bottom of the barrel, gigs.
You mean that barrel has a bottom? I thought it went all the way to the lake of fire.
Tom: then what did Trump mean when he said: “fight like hell or you’re not going to have a country any more”; and “let’s hope Pence does the right thing”. WHAT did he demand that Pence do? Pence says he demanded that he refuse to accept the CERTIFIED vote totals–something he had no authority to do. Why did Trump sit by, basking in the glory of his power over his gullible followers for over 3 hours, watching Capitol Police get beaten and battered, his fans smashing doors and windows and damaging the Capitol, while his family and staff begged him to call off the fans? Explain these facts to me if you can.
Literally nothing in this post is reality based. Trump has retained a strong lead both nationally and in swing states.
The only polls showing Harris being competitive are clearly rigged push-polls that equate ignorant cackles with electoral support.
Harris was a moron and a failure last month when Democrats wanted her off the ticket for dragging Biden down… and now that they have knifed Biden… Harris is STILL a failure and a moron.
Try again Gigi. No one believe that Harris is viable.
“What could be creepier than a fat slob who brags about grabbing women by their genitalia, sexually assaulting and defaming a woman,” First during the NBC Billy Bush interview what was actually said was “when you are a celebrity/star you can do almost anything, you can grab a woman buy the ‘genitalia’ (a gentile way of putting it) …, to which Bush querried.”did you ever do that?” to which Trump, looking taken aback said “well I could have”. Second, assaulting a woman….are you referring to Ms Carroll? The woman who couldn’t remember when she was ‘assaulted’, what time of day, had no contemporary documentation, and the dress she said she was wearing wasn’t produced until a year later, that woman? And of course it being in Bloomies there were no sales associates around to hear her scream….oh she didn’t scream. Since we are talking about a she said he said moment, how about the senate worker, a Democrat, who said that Biden digitally raped her? I guess that doesn’t count because she was dismissed as a nut by the press and dem party, and she had given a contemporary recounting. Third, the next time you go to a bank for a mortgage you better be absolutely accurate on you app because they could come for you.
I could go on and on but it would just get boring.
Well, there is Bill Clinton that actually forcibly rapes women, Anthony Weiner is another freak, Eric Swalwell has a chink in his armor and then of course the rumors of Adam Schiff and Ed Buck… pretty weird compared to some locker room puss talk.
Karen Ann: I don’t have or need any mortgages, but if I did, I certainly would not triple the size of my property like Trump did, by claiming his 11,960 sq. ft. apartment was 33,000 sq. ft. E. Jean Carroll told 2 friends about the assault the same day it happened, and, anyway, the case was tried, Trump was represented by counsel, and he lost . Twice.
The issue here isn’t Biden–From CNN, dateline 5/19/2020:
“As Tara Reade was leaving her job at Joe Biden’s Senate office in 1993, she told a close colleague that she believed she was being let go for an unfair reason – that she was being terminated because of a medical issue she had been dealing with.
The former colleague, Ben Savage, described this decades-old alleged exchange with Reade in an interview with CNN. He declined to be quoted on the specific medical condition that he said Reade shared with him around that time. The previously unreported detail of what Savage says Reade told him in 1993 is among a growing set of accounts that has emerged about Reade’s experience in Biden’s office almost three decades ago.
Reade, 56, has become a prominent figure in the 2020 presidential race after accusing Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, of sexually harassing and assaulting her when she worked in his office. The range of statements Reade, her friends and acquaintances, and former Biden aides have made – both in public and in private – about Biden and Reade’s experiences while working for him, has complicated efforts to understand her most serious allegation of sexual assault.
Biden himself has vehemently denied Reade’s allegations, and no ex-Biden staffer has come forward to say they ever witnessed or heard about any kind of sexual misconduct in his Senate office.
Doug Wigdor, Reade’s attorney, said as part of a lengthy email addressing questions from CNN that some in the media have given Biden “a complete pass” while subjecting Reade to “hypocrisy and double standard.”
By her own admission, Reade did not widely share the sexual assault allegation against Biden around the time that she says it happened, making contemporaneous corroboration difficult to come by. Over the last year, Reade has altered her public telling of how Biden behaved with her in 1993, as has one of her close friends who has been a key corroborator of Reade’s assault allegation. In years past, Reade described reasons for leaving Washington that were unrelated to Biden; she now says she left after being fired from Biden’s office as retaliation for reporting sexual harassment. She has also previously described Biden as having been a good boss, sometimes speaking with pride about having worked for him.”
“RFK Jr is literally crazy.”
The Soviet Union lives on.
America could fight the invasion of Covid-19 but America cannot fight the invasion of unassimilable, foreign, illegal aliens.
What a bunch of —-ing idiots!

Nadler’s gonna get him some Rich White Men.
https://www.allsides.com/news/2024-08-24-1715/politics-nadler-promises-more-taxes-rich-white-men
“Nadler Promises More Taxes for ‘Rich White Men'”
Oh my, where are all the pronouns?
He did not say more taxes for rich people, or more taxes for rich men and women, or rich persons, or even more taxes for the rich them’s and they’s; nope, the Democrat Socialist said the truth out loud. “Rich White Men”!
“Today, or as of October 8, 2023, there were 1.79 million Black millionaires in the United States. Robert Smith, currently the richest black man alive, possesses a net worth of $8 billion. Ranking 266th among the world’s wealthiest individuals, his journey from humble beginnings to becoming a titan in the private equity domain is a testament to hard work and vision.” Notice that it does not say he amassed his wealth because of a tax funded student loan bail out, or preferential DEI minority selection. Hard work and vision is how he made it. A testament to the man, and to the Nation in which he lives. No doubt he would be shamed by today’s Democrat party as being a “White Supremacist”.
William Alexander Leidesdorff (1810-1848), a Black immigrant from the Danish West Indies, is believed to have been America’s first Black millionaire. I didn’t see that in the 1609 project narrative. Perhaps I missed it.
The breakdown is as follows:
From recent data, here’s a distribution of American millionaires by their ethnicity:
76% of millionaires in America are White
8% of millionaires in America are Asian
8% of millionaires in America are Black
6.8% of millionaires in America are Hispanic/Latino
https://thesmallbusinessblog.net/how-many-black-millionaires-in-america/
And Native Americans would also seem to be at risk of a tax scalping by Mr. Nadler, where the breakdown is as follows:
Seminole Tribe Net Worth: $764 Million
Squamish Nation Net Worth: $780 Million
Hannahville Indian Community Net Worth: $803 Million
Pechanga Band Of Indians Net Worth: $853 Million
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Community Net Worth: $946 Million
Oneida Nation Net Worth: $1 Billion
Gila River Indian Community Net Worth: $2.15 Billion
Coeur d’Alene Tribe Net Worth: $2.27 Billion
Navajo Nation Net Worth: $2.5 Billion
Shakopee Mdewakanton Tribe Net Worth: $2.7 Billion

And there’s some question as to why people are waking up and leaving the neo-Democrat Socialist party? I know they say their the Democratic Party, but one could call a skunk a striped cat, and it would still smell of skunk.
“Dear Americans, please pay attention to what’s happening in Europe right now. The globalist takeover is happening at an incredibly fast pace over here.
France just arrested Pavel Durov, founder & CEO of Telegram.
The UK is locking up its own citizens for years and years for the ‘crime’ of standing up against mass migration and writing posts about it online.
In the meantime Europeans keep getting randomly stabbed by immigrants on a daily basis and since the legacy media does nothing but protect the establishment and hide the truth from us, their next main goal is to ban
@X. The only platform where we can find and speak the truth.
It’s so clear what they’re doing and frankly it’s not looking good for us – especially because we don’t have a Second Amendment that could protect us against tyranny.
So please, vote wisely in November. For your sake and ours: Vote for @realDonaldTrump.” @EvaVlaar
It is getting scary. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a travel advisory issued for the UK and France. It appears you could be arrested for merely hurting someone’s feelings, perhaps telling, or even laughing at a joke, etc. These crimes seems arbitrarily enforced, poorly defined, and resulting in lengthy jail sentences. Witch hunts like this usually, consume themselves when they try to reach too far. Until that point comes, a lot of lives are ruined.
Obama just completed his Coup D’etat in America and deceived, maneuvered, and manipulated his way into a fourth term.
“Tampon Tim,” the “weird” and treasonous U.S. Army soldier-cum-Chinese covert agent, will be his goofy figurehead vice president.
Kamala Harris received no money and no votes and magically beat the entire field of Democratic candidates in the 2024 primaries, saving their “democracy.”
By sleeping with Willy Brown, Kamala Harris became president of the United States of America.
Kamala Harris’ CV: A ten-year affair with a married-with-children corrupt political benefactor.
Americans must be charitable and compassionate.
Americans must give their country away on a silver platter.
Article Idiot of the U.S. Constitution mandates that.
The Founders designed the giveaway and full transference of the country as their “original intent.”
Or not.
