I was secretly hoping the reason Carmen Best was calling it quits was that she knew she was going to be Biden's VP pick. Oh, well.

I've already gone through my five stages of grief at the Kamala pick. If that's what it takes to beat Trump...

We lost a Black female leader in Chief Best today but gladly had the good fortune to gain another in Sen. Harris. I'm going to focus on the positive.

Rejoice repubs -- Harris is on YOUR Side.

oh, and so is trumpf.
Now, get out there and
get His Economy a' bustin'!

& remember
your Life* is but a
Small price to pay!

*and your famblies'
friends' and medical service workers'

just Think of the Glory of
Pwning all them damn Libs!

Hallelujah!

"a former DA who has done more to destroy the black community than Trump could do in a lifetime." --@df2

Nah. Your trumpf is
Numero Uno when
it comes to taking
American Lives:
see: CV-IXX.

But, hell yes! Repubs, iff'n y'alls wanna
Destroy the Black Community, a Vote
for Smokin' Joe IS a Vote for
White Supremacy.

speaking of waps:

!“I think it’s kind of a false equivalency to say it’s like macaroni in the pot. I don’t know if that’s what I would use. I’d go with ‘juicy peach,’ which is something you see a lot more of. It’s more the idea of something juicy, as opposed to slippery macaroni. As somebody who looks at a lot of vaginas, that visualization has never entered my head.”

Nor mine.

“… this whole god-awful feminine-hygiene industry has popped up telling everyone your vagina is supposed to smell like an English garden, and not have any stains on your underwear, or there’s something wrong with you! Talk about shaming! The whole feminine-hygiene industry is shaming women.”

Well, when ya got Product to Move
A little Shame is (always!) a Good Thing.

Disclaimer: Dems, fence-sitters etc:
a Vote for Smokin'Joe is NOT
a Vote for White Supremacy

Ii's (actually!) a Vote Against.
but don't tell the Reptilicans:
let ''em listen to df2. He's
(actually) really Smart.

@Lyme -- say, have you read This:

"... since Mr. Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee, the country has been rocked by the coronavirus pandemic as well as widespread unrest over police brutality and racial inequities."

Good ole White Supremacist neocons:
give 'em a Virus they give you
back a Panfucking Demic
and beat the Shit outta
Peaceful Protesters.

"Both Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris have appeared to move further to the left — Mr. Biden seeking to bring together the Democratic Party and appeal to its progressive wing, and Ms. Harris emerging as a strong voice on racism and police misconduct."

Yep. and on the Other Side
ya gotchyur trumpf.

Tough Choice, eh?

@16

Alll them Caps
make you look
Stupid.

"Ms. Harris has spoken out strongly about the injustice faced by Black people in the United States.

She introduced police accountability legislation known as the Justice in Policing Act earlier this summer and sparred with Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, after he blocked a bill that would have made lynching a federal crime."

Whilst alll you neocons (df2, Lyme, et al)
wanted to make it merely a misdemeanor.

More Bad news for Neocons:
from the NYT:

Ilhan Omar Wins House Primary in Minnesota

Ms. Omar, a member of the “Squad” of progressive women of color elected to the House two years ago, topped a well-funded challenger in a victory for the left.

Ms. Omar’s vision of progressive change went further [than her opponent’s], as she embraced calls to restructure the Police Department altogether, diverting money to invest in social services.

It's looking better for Progressives and
worse for police "unions" every day.

Excellent. Let’s move Past this
White Supremacist stranglehold
trumpf & Corps have on America
and Build a Country where EVERY
one can actually reach their Full Potential

and
Adios
White
Entitlement .

@11 I betcha Sun Tzu said something wise about not taking advice from one's enemies.

But share with us more of your deep insight into Democratic-aligned constituencies.

Amidst ongoing protests against racism and police brutality, the Democrats choose the author of the 1994 crime bill, who continues to insult black people almost daily in his offhand comments, and a former prosecutor who bragged about threatening to send poor people of color to jail when their kids cut school. More change we can believe in.

And the cycle continues. Billionaires will continue to loot the economy. POC will continue to be murdered in the streets by cops, and the Republican party will continue to go further right. And pretty shortly, we'll be right back here again with President Tom Cotton, or whoever the next ghoul is that the Republicans put up.... Democrats scrambling to find the next billionaire and police state backed candidate they can sell as a reformer....

I thought the 'macaroni' line from WAP was about the sound not the look. I've heard people describe hard and fast PIV sounds as 'stirring macaroni.' (this is about the Vulture interview)

@ 23,

If it’s any consolation, the nation is gonna collapse way before then, and at worst Cotton will just be a small-time regional warlord.

ah, Lymie, the "radical" left?

your wild-eyed Projections begin
to take on a Life of their own
but you ALWAYS trumpfers
blame the other side
no matter what

You Extremist Supremacysts
are taking America down
down Down the rathole.

Enjoy your trumpf whilst he lasts.
If he does;nt Steal this one, he'll
prolly be in chains in six months
and not A Moment too soon.

How's your COVID?

@23: Yes, that's the scenario you hope plays out so that you can smugly say 'I told you so' - it has nothing do with the actual politics but all to do with elevating your standing among the everything-is-terrible contingent.

@25 Thanks for the parenthetical, without it we might have had trouble figuring out which news item you were talking about there.

@28 Deflection. It's what one does when they have nothing of value to say and they are scared. So scared.

@32 I'm going to guess either curling or golf.

@34 Lord knows it's easy to dunk on LAX, a Native American sport where the scholarships mostly go to rich white people, but those kids at least do enough conditioning to run a couple dozen yards once in a while.

The PAC-12 sailing teams, tho...

@35 You don't have to spend much time on the campus of a big state research university, or an elite private school for that matter, to know there are always a at least a few retrograde troglodytes crawling around the STEMs, never mind the business school.

No college is going to make anyone smart if they're only there because they're terrified of being forced to do an honest day's work.

durkan was a prosecutor too, so prepare for law-and-order harris and the ever furthering of our militaristic complex.

@39:

You can letter in bowling?

@41:

Yeah, he was in...Sang Bang...Dang Gong...he was all over the place, a lot of places, with the Green Berets...Special Unit Battalions...Commando Airborne Tactics...Specialist Tactics Unit Battalion. Yeah, it was real hush hush. He was Agent Orange, Special Agent Orange, that was him...

Wait a minute, I thought only leftist elites went to college and .. gasp .. grad school. That's where we brainwash people and take Marxism/Antifa 101.

Should've learned a trade or how to code, Downfall. Now you're an elitist. Unlike Real Americans in the Heartland (tm).

Actually, after his four year stint in Bang a'Gong, Downfall majored in Beergut 101 at Trump University---the biggest fraudulent diploma mill in the U.S. He's now shocked that his so-called "degree" isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Poor, dedicated lil MAGA.
