    Primary day in Missouri and suddenly myself and several other people I know had our voter registrations marked "invalid" on our local election board's website here in KC, stating we cannot vote and need to re-register. Yet when I still went to vote regardless of that, my registration was NOT actually invalid, same with my friends' and mom's. Missouri GOP seemingly trying to make registered Democrats' voter registrations appear invalid to keep us from trying to vote??

    HMMMMMMMMM

    I heard about this being a vulnerability in Georgia... That it was actually incredibly easy to de-register a voter, and they had a web portal where you could do it remotely. All it took was to know their full name, place of residency, and the last four of their social security... and apparently this portal was hacked, causing it to temporarily display all of this information publicly...

    Just... nothing to be concerned about there...

    EDIT: Ah that's what I'm talking about. Mock them.

    “I gotta tell you, I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said. “That is if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”

    What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. Presidency, a COUP, to the people in the World he most hates, and he wants it back, NOW!!!
    Someone's nervous/having a meltdown. Guess who?

    lolol wait a minute so Biden's presidency was unconstitutionally stolen from him, even though in Trump's mind, Biden was never constitutionally president to begin with. AND THEN to think Joe Biden will even have the physical energy to STORM the DNC and DEMAND his unconstitutional presidency that he stole from Trump be constitutionally handed back to him just so Trump can say Biden stole the election from him.

    Next level comedy right there.

    I think I love Tim Walz. Like, I did not expect to like this guy this much. He’s perfect. He’s comfort food for moderates and left of center. Here you go, here’s a cuddly mall Santa with a heart of gold, and he like, isn’t mad at you MAGA, he’s just disappointed, and he wants you to try a little harder. Respect yourself a bit more. You can do this. Tim Walz believes in you, and he thinks you can do better.

    You know how people say they’d want to have a beer with a politician, as a way to humanize them and relate to them? I want to hang out at a backyard BBQ with Tim Walz, and let him give me tips on how to properly do some shit with the grill. I bet he makes an awesome burger, but you know, he’s considerate, so he brings along Beyond patties for the vegetarians.

    And even though he’s this relatable guy who almost seems too down to earth, I bet you wouldn’t wanna fuck with Tim Walz. Like, he’s all sweet and stuff, but if you insulted his wife, I bet he would smack you in the mouth. And then he would ask you, very sternly, to apologize. And if you did apologize to his wife, and she accepted the apology, he’d forgive you, because he’s a reasonable guy, and he just hopes that you learn to respect women.

    That’s just the vibe this guy gives off. It’s great. I love the response to the silly “Tampon Tim” thing that’s already popping up. Take it away from them.

    Tampon Tim is gonna stop the red wave.

    All of us, slowly boiled frogs, but sometimes I see something like this and my head bobs above the water and it's just like... how?! How could anyone see this paragraph and decide that it's author should lead our country? It's just nonsense.

    I read Trump's posts now and then to remind myself how nuts the man is. All of these congressional Republicans know that he's unfit, and are on record saying so, still kiss the ring. And why? What for? Are tax cuts THAT important? Mitch McConnell is 82 years old and worth 35 million. What does he care? Yet he's spending his last days on Earth supporting a man who attempted a coup. Fuck the Republican Party.

    Good Lord I just made myself laugh thinking about Walz getting off the call with Kamala yesterday morning, standing up, slapping both thighs and telling the family "whelp, guess we better hit the road if we're going to beat this traffic.."

    two things:

    First is that I foresee a swift-boating campaign starting up, though I seriously wonder how that will fly now after Trump's ultra-negative campaign against the military.

    Second is that I love the subtle-but-not imagery of the "Tampon Tim is gonna stop the red wave."

    If Hilary can win the popular vote while people actively hate her, and Biden can win an election where many are ultimately ambivalent about him, these guys have it in the bag

    I like that the youth is happy with Walz as the pick. This gives me some hope that they can be a determining factor in the swing states.

    I caught the Walz speech yesterday and then I watched Shapiro's. Madam Vice President Harris made a smart choice. It's now two very sensible, intelligent, qualified adults vs mush for brains. It's not in the bag yet, half the country has mush for brains after all, but things are looking infinitely better than a couple months ago. Haven't smelled this much blood in the water since probably 2012. And trumpy likes his sharks so I bet he's shitting himself right about now.

    He's like a dad or an uncle-age to Gen Z, who in large watched a bunch of male role models get consumed and fucked up by Breitbart and Fox. Toxic masculinity has dominated the idea of "manliness" and it seems everywhere you look, dudes are rapey, insecure, and "toxic." Walz is like a Norman Rockwell painting or something. Here comes this good natured, caring, empathetic guy who doesn't posture as some tough "alpha" badass, but emanates confidence. Positive masculinity. Imagine that.

    He's going to be a rockstar.

    Agreed. Crazy to think how wildly opposite of that we were all feeling a month ago.

    Apparently Vance is unwilling to debate Walz', but will face Harris. From my buddy in a group chat:

    "Vance is afraid that Walz might take him out into the hallway, have a serious talk about how he's hanging out with the wrong crowd, he's got a solid girl that's going to leave him if he keeps up with this, and let him know that he doesn't need to say anything, but he'll be there if JD needs to talk."

    Here's an ad the Harris team needs to run... Just open to Tim Walz,

    "Hi, JD, this is Tim. Tim Walz! I saw that you were trying to disparage my military record, and that's... well, it's adorable champ. You tried. You really did, and they may say otherwise, but that's what really counts, sport. You're gonna be really good at this job one day. Keep going. I believe in you. Follow your dreams.

    So yeah, see you at the debate, son. I know you're scared, and that's ok. Stuff's scary sometimes. You're gonna be ok. And if I'm too hard on you, I'll take you to Disneyland after."

    Precisely. I don't have much faith in most of the general public, but I am also feeling a lot better about the election than I was a few weeks ago. I was pretty nervous about Biden's chances before that assassination attempt on Trump, and afterward, I felt like it was over and all hope was lost. I'm so happy with how things have turned around, but it's not over yet. I think it's best not to get complacent and stay cautiously optimistic.

    It really feels like that assassination attempt made about as much a mark as the bullet did on Trump's ear

    Seeing how the country reacted to electing a Black Man as president - and we got Trump - can you imagine the after-effects of a Black Woman? Man I hope this breaks the republicans in a way that the entire party collapses.

    I'm pretty sure they're toast after this election anyways, they put Laura Trump in charge.

    https://apnews.com/article/republica...f4ab82c882ea74

    I have no doubt that Trump and family are siphoning funds out like crazy, and that the party will be bankrupt before too long. I can't find any news articles that make the assertion directly, but that's just what Trump & co do......

    "'Everyone' wanted Roe v Wade brought back to the states...I have the biggest crowds, "a lot of people....Democrats want to kill the babies," more crime, Democrats want to take all your guns away...."

    Yawn.
