He is indeed a true Trumper - rapidly getting in on the grift, I see. CNN should be embarrassed by their obvious failure to do even a routine background check or internet research to see if he was really "undecided", but I strongly suspect that they don't care and will likely make the same "mistake" with their next focus group of "undecideds."

And yet I know several military vets who are hardcore Trumpers all the way through. And most of them are Trumpers not so much because of military or veteran issues (although they often think that Democrats don't support the military for whatever reason), but because they're all hardcore culture conservatives. Even if they hadn't served in the military I think they would still be all in on Trump because of their distaste for duh gheys and transgenders and NFL players kneeling for the anthem and so on.

Harris and Walz Campaign in Georgia as Fall Races Heat Up: Election Updates
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are taking a bus tour through rural Georgia on Wednesday before a packed Labor Day schedule, while Donald J. Trump and JD Vance have a busy lineup of events ahead this week.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has hired a Republican operative with expertise in field organizing to help steer his political work, a move that suggests that Mr. Musk is preparing to become even more involved in Republican politics and get-out-the-vote efforts specifically.
Chris Young, most recently a senior political official at PhRMA, the trade association of the pharmaceutical industry that does some grass-roots organizing, is joining Mr. Musk’s team, according to three people briefed on the move. They spoke on condition of anonymity because it was not public.
The hire reflects a less whimsical approach to political involvement for Mr. Musk. The Tesla, X and SpaceX leader has been a mercurial political and philanthropic donor for years, frustrating some in the conservative movement. He has just a few key relationships in Washington: Mr. Musk is particularly close with Kevin McCarthy, the former speaker of the House, who himself is close with Mr. Young professionally.
Long time lurker here, but this is absolutely wild to me. Kash was a member of the same gym as me in DC for a long time and I even got drinks with him a few times. Absolutely no one had any idea he was even in the administration until the media started covering his story. When the gym community (very LGBTQ+ friendly and liberal) found out what he did, it was mind blowing. Clearly addicted to pseudo-fame and grifting. No excuses whatsoever.

The group says that while they continue to applaud the Uncommitted Movement and plan on holding a Harris-Walz administration accountable on Gaza and other matters, “with less than 70 days until the November election, we have to be honest with ourselves about what is at stake here for Muslim women…”
The group urges the Muslim community to vote for VP Kamala Harris this November.

Donald Trump amplified a vulgar joke about Vice President Kamala Harris performing a sex act. He falsely accused her of a staging a coup to secure the Democratic nomination and faulted her without evidence for a security lapse that enabled a rogue gunman to try to assassinate him. He shared a manipulated online image of Bill Gates in an orange jumpsuit and a call for Barack Obama to face a “military tribunal.” He promoted explicit tributes to the QAnon conspiracy theory. He hawked digital trading cards in an online infomercial along with pieces of his debate night suit. (“People are calling it the knockout suit.”) His campaign feuded publicly with Arlington National Cemetery over their visit.
And that was just in the span of 24 hours.

I'm not sure I've ever said this before, because I am loathe to paint with such broad brushstrokes about ~40% of my fellow Americans, but we are at a point where, if you claim that you love our country and love our troops and respect our military, then you are an enormous piece of shit for voting for this guy. I did it in 2016- even after he made his comments about John McCain- and that absolutely makes me a POS. I won't hide from accountability for that at all. I fucked up. But I've tried to spend the last 8 years making up for it and making sure it never happens again. Fuck everyone voting for this motherfucker in 2024. I lost a first cousin at Fallujah and had another badly injured outside Tikrit, and quite literally of all of the heinous things that Trump has done or said over the last 10 years or so, this stunt at Arlington is the thing that makes me the most viscerally angry.

If trump was a member of any team - college, high school, professional - he wouldn't be allowed back on any team after all the things he's done.
Imagine a player trying to play for Hubert Davis who was convicted of 34 felonies, found liable for sexual assault, and scammed people out of money.
Why are the values of playing for a basketball team higher than being the president? And those same voters that say those players shouldn't be on the team after making mistakes, will willfully vote for the same character for a leadership position.
If I have to kick off every talented member of a team because their character, morals and values don't hold up to my standards, I would, even i f that means my team goes 0-32. But for some reason, that's not the case with Republicans running for office.
