It always feels like a new level. That's what having no bottom means.You may be right. I’m just hoping. This does feel like a new level, though.

TPM had a few interesting discussions a week or two ago (or maybe earlier this week) about how Trump is blanketing PA indiscriminately.I would be shocked if that's true... you know the Cambridge Analytica folks are out there just operating under a different name.
I have no issues with what Francis said there. He's the pope, and the Catholic Church has long viewed abortion as murder. Given that, he can't endorse Kamala. Past popes haven't commented on US elections, but Vatican officials and bishops and the like have, and they are always anti-Dem.Motherfuck him and John Wayne!
I hear you. I’m just stunned by how many monumental errors Trump’s team is making right now. It has all the hallmarks of an organization that knows it’s about to crash into a mountain and is just frantically pushing every button in the desperate hope something might work.It always feels like a new level. That's what having no bottom means.
As a baptized Catholic I support your sentimentMotherfuck him and John Wayne!
No. Though i'm pretty sure a former occupant was registered Repub. It just makes it more remarkable that he can get so far despite having such an incompetent "circle".Are you Black? Do you smoke? In the past, that stuff gets targeted at an audience. But the reports have been that Trump isn't doing any targeting, probably because he doesn't have anyone competent in the campaign because who would work in that environment.
I've said this on other threads, but it seems pertinent here: Run it up, Herman! Leave no doubt!!Run through the motherfucking tape.
I could this being true regarding "undecideds" but not the maga members. They have had almost a decade's worth of fvckery to "see the light". There are political conservatives who realize Trump and extremism is horrible for the party (see Thom Tillis), but they're just going to pander to their base regardless... The base can change it's name from tea party to maga to something else, but the two-party system seems to keep promoting extremism.Just a quick Friday afternoon musing —
I know we can’t be overconfident, need to run through the tape, etc., but I just have a feeling MAGA reached its existential apogee sometime around May or June, is now well into its plummet cycle, and its rate of descent will only increase from now until November. We’re seeing things that were unthinkable even in the MAGA idiocracy of the last eight years. There’s literally zero chance Trump gets better or becomes a more likeable person now, and the people in his orbit, from Vance on down, are showing their true selves unapologetically and with not even a veneer of civility.
The election will be close even if I’m right. I have no doubt about that. But I am becoming a little more hopeful that if Kamala wins — and I think she will — MAGA’s future is limited. When it comes down to it, they’re losers. Nothing but losers. And losers can only stave off their demise for so long.
Except, one is dealing with people that are actually living.I’ve generally thought Pope Francis has been a really solid pope, at least on the papacy scale, but this may be the most tone deaf, morally-compromised comment by a pope since the Medicis.
Pope Francis on Friday described the choice US voters must make in the presidential election as one between the “lesser of two evils,” deeming former President Donald Trump’s anti-migrant policies and Vice President Kamala Harris’ support of abortion rights as both being “against life.”
“One must choose the lesser of two evils. Who is the lesser of two evils? That lady or that gentleman? I don’t know,” Francis said during a press conference on the papal plane, referring to Harris and Trump. “Everyone with a conscience should think on this and do it.”
It is cynical politics, but the Biden Administration had planned to try to ban menthol cigarettes because they are disproportionately used by and causing health problems in the Black community in the US, but there was a ton of push-back Black Americans about a race-based nanny-state approach and so the Administration shelved the idea. So, no, it is not going to happen, but it was something already proposed once, so theoretically could come up again.People are saying she wants to ban Fried chicken and watermelon
and loose shoes...People are saying she wants to ban Fried chicken and watermelon
On one hand, I understand the point you're making and I agree. Equating Trump's treatment of immigrants with being pro-choice is a pretty "liberal" view for the papacy.I have no issues with what Francis said there. He's the pope, and the Catholic Church has long viewed abortion as murder. Given that, he can't endorse Kamala. Past popes haven't commented on US elections, but Vatican officials and bishops and the like have, and they are always anti-Dem.
Here, Francis is equating Trump's treatment of migrants with the killing of the unborn. That's a huge positive step forward. Francis is basically saying that MAGA is sinful, and not just venially either. He is casting the entire MAGA movement as mortally sinful. I'm not sure we could expect anything else.
Most of my heroes don’t appear on no stamp.Motherfuck him and John Wayne!
Trump, if you take him at his word, is just as “pro abortion” as Kamala. If California wants to allow abortion in the ninth month, Trump’s official position is that he’s fine with it. So Francis either thinks Trump is lying or he’s equivocating between them based on an immaterial distinction. Which is why I say it was tone deaf at best.I have no issues with what Francis said there. He's the pope, and the Catholic Church has long viewed abortion as murder. Given that, he can't endorse Kamala. Past popes haven't commented on US elections, but Vatican officials and bishops and the like have, and they are always anti-Dem.

Gotta end the GOP’s legislative supermajority.I agree completely. But if NC goes Blue on: the Presidential contest, the Governor's contest, the AG contest, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction contest, then (a) that would be a dream come true and (b) would be part of a 1984 national level ass-whooping.
Indeed she does . . !I have to believe at this point Kamala Harris has all the momentum
