Brian Tyler Cohen - Disaster - Trump Destroys His Campaign With Stunning Outburst On Stage
I have to admit, in a sense I'm desensitized to Trump's presence, words, etc. But today, my god, my jaw dropped at this monstrosity.
Crude
“Well first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said, calling the interview “disgraceful” and criticizing a “rude introduction.”“Why should Black voters trust you after you have used language like that?” Scott said.

Too Hot
MSN: Georgia will be too hot to host Olympics in 2050, data shows Story By Kristal Dixon
The majority of the world will be too hot to host the Summer Olympics by 2050
Mr. BS
But now, he poured on the insults: Rep. Jim Clyburn (S.C.), a long-tenured Black Democrat, is “not the brightest bulb”; ABC News, host of the next debate, is “such a joke” and “the home of George Slopadopolus”; Biden is crooked and sleepy; Harris is “Dumb as a Rock.”
Of Course
The Trump White House was warned that harsh sanctions on Venezuela could accelerate that country’s economic collapse and speed an exodus of millions of migrants to neighboring nations, according to three current and former U.S. government officials.
Comment
I unsubscribed from the NY Times a few weeks ago, I was so irritated by their anti-Biden and pro-Trump articles that I ditched them. Why hadn't they called for Trump to leave the presidential race, given Trump's boatload of felonious activities. Regardless, there is apparently a new NY Times poll that has Harris up by a point, as opposed to an earlier this month poll that had Trump up by a few points over Biden. Remember this is only after a few days of Harris being in the presidential slot because I would presume the poll was taken earlier in the week and the results were only posted today, on Friday. Harris is going to win this. She's young fresh, positive, and knows how to laugh. Trump is old, negative, sour, hateful, horrible in all ways not to mention his inability to tell the truth, and the guy can't laugh. What the hell is with that anyway? The country is sick of Trump's negativity, I sure am.
Knicks
If Harris pulls off a win in November and the Knicks play the way people believe they will play in the upcoming NBA season, then I can truly rest in peace.
"Coming off their best season in over a decade after winning 50 games (50-32) for the first time since 2013, the New York Knicks’ win total for the 2024-25 season has been set at 53.5 on multiple sportsbooks according to Vegas Insider."

Who
Washington Post: Opinion - Who should Kamala Harris choose as her vice president? What does she need in her running mate to govern well? By Matt Bai
My first pick is Beshear, actually. A Democrat who got reelected as governor in Kentucky obviously knows how to relate to people who might not warm to Harris.
Centrism
If climate change is a fact, to take one example, then splitting the difference with climate deniers is nonsensical. And if the MAGA movement assaults truth, then telling half of the truth or telling the truth half the time isn’t centrism. It’s absurdism, and a sure path to meaninglessness and nihilism.

Kamala
I saw a good meme yesterday. It said: in Hindi Kamala means LOTUS, but in America, Kamala means POTUS.
NPR: As she is poised to be the Democratic nominee, here are 5 facts about Kamala Harris By Jeongyoon Han

Comment
I was wrong. My belief that Biden dropping out would be a nail in the Democrats chances in November was off the mark. Biden, at this point, appears to have enacted a masterful touch. He waited till after the MAGA Convention, then he passed the torch to Kamala Harris. He endorsed her and set in motion the energy to get her elected, amass a lot of money, and be successful. It was a plan. How successful will it be, like you, I wish I knew. The initial returns are not just positive but extremely positive, jaw dropping. She's leading in a few recent polls as well.
The Trump people were utterly unprepared for this shift and have settled on racist tropes as a weapon to deflate her. It's not the brightest move. There are other minor idiotic maneuvers like wanting to impeach Kamala, and that is absurd. They are attempting to throw confusion into the transference of campaign money and the legality of it all, but this is all pointless, and like many of Trump's activities it's an empty act designed more to appease his cult. We call it throwing red meat to the cult. It keeps those people happy but it has no value outside of that arena.
Right now, she could win, I think she will win. Why not be very positive about it. This is a real possibility. I suspect she gets another polling bump after the Democratic Convention. Then, she needs to ride it, and enlarge it up till election day. But be prepared, Trump is trying his damnedest to stay out of prison and he will enact any method he can think of to throw water on a Kamala victory in November. Her victory would also represents a life sentence in prison for Trump and he will put every ounce of vitriol that he has into avoiding and destroying that situation.

Harris
Washington Post: Harris packs first rally as Trump retools for new opponent By Maeve Reston, Dylan Wells, and Isaac Arnsdorf
Her dominance expanded on Tuesday with a nod from the two top congressional Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).
Harris
By Monday night, she had raised a stunning $100 million from more than 1.1 million unique donors, according to aides, and recruited 58,000 new volunteers.

Last year, one such incident led to a significant financial judgment: A jury determined that Trump had raped — using the judge’s language — writer E. Jean Carroll.
