Melania Trump's text messages blasted at DNC by former staffer

With the apparent text messages on display, Stephanie Grisham was applauded as she spoke about leaving the Trump administration.

[Caveman Catfan]

They're floating the "Wealth tax" idea to see the opposition to it.

If the Dems win another POTUS election you're going to see some version of this no doubt.

Its a populist issue:

Year 1 : "Hey, let's tax everyone over $50 million in unrealized gains"

Year 5: "Hey, let's tax everyone over $20 million..."

Year 10: "Hey, let's tax everyone over $1 million..."

Thats how they work.

Increase the rate of inflation and that takes care of itself.

 

[HymanKaplan]

It just hit me, what this DNC reminds me of, and it's a spot on analogy.

It's like the noisy group at the next table (two tables actually, because they pushed them together) at a 90's era chain bar. (TGIF, Bennigans etc.) and it's comprised of a bunch of females who work together (usually nurses or teachers), most of them are starting to bump up against the shame of moving up a few dress sizes, and they brought their cheering section, a small group of flamboyant/silly/trying too hard to be the life of the party gay guys. It's just an absolute collage of cosmopolitans, Appletinis, Virginia Slims, masked desperation, and mean spirited "dishing" 😄

Now, tell me that that isn't dead on.

1) if you cant explain your position, it isnt your position. Its someone else's. If your only response is to post an equally outlandish link then its an implicit admission you arent intelligent enough to discuss the issue or know youre lying.

2) go share that on fb or somewhere else because that bs doesn't fly here. People here know the facts. We know how unemployment is measured and why starting with obama it became a ridiculous propaganda tool rather than any indication of employment.

3) i enjoy discussing difference in opinion but dishonest nonsense is disgusting and pathetic.

Watched about 1/2 of that video. Trump’s age is showing.

He definitely looks older by the day it seems. It might be that podcast lighting it seems many of them use that really shows everything.

In terms of the convo, theo von is such a random unique personality its very difficult for someone even much younger than trump to completely connect. I thought trump had some very good moments of authenticity. Had a few funny moments as well without being overly condescending.

 

[AshWilliams]

No, he means to imagine going through it. The exasperation in his voice is a call to Vance to think critically for one of the few times in his life what his terrible views on abortion would do to the women it would effect.

If a Democrat says it, it’s “you know what he meant idiot lol” but if a republican says it it’s “ZOMFG HE LITERALLY CALLED FOR INSURRECTION YOU %&$#@“

I mean, duh. Black guys ride Gold Wings. Everyone knows that.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

You could be right. But apologies will never happen regardless.

Im just skeptical of Vance and didn’t care for him as the pick. Hopefully, it works out.

Vance wasn't the best pick but he is better than I hoped. There was a period of weird trump absence not that long ago where vance literally carried the campaign on his back. Better picks could've done that too, but after the crazy cat lady thing he refined his message quite nicely to stop giving out of context sound bites.

👀. Over 5 million votes dwarfs any poll out there. Oh my.

Pretty impressive. Imo a mix of actual humans instead of fake mail in votes and a weighted poll because so many libs blocked or dont follow musk or deleted x altogether because the npc machine said he was bad.

Either way, i have zero doubt the pubs win 60% of the actual human vote. The concern is the miraculous 99% of mail ins that magically go dem and always push things just over the hump.

You're making the false equivalence, "Einstein", since that WAS an insurrection that Trump incited through lies about election fraud.

Meanwhile Andy clearly meant Vance should put himself in the position (as in think, not actually do) of someone who needs an abortion for things like rape or incest and how he would truly react in the given situation.

Here's my position. Here's my facts. If they are wrong.... Prove it.
Take all emotion out of it. Democrats are better for the US economy period. It's not even close.
Prove it with something besides saying "nah uh" cause I say so.

Nice try, however.

There is nothing there to address. Someone said something with zero supporting evidence. None.

Your best argument is: "what this guy said" yet again. And "this guy" is always some kook that just makes stuff up or throws stuff against the wall, just like here.

Are you literally devoid of any independent thought that allows you to voice your own opinion and position? Granted i figure the best reaction we'll get from this call out is you copy pasting text from here on instead of links, because years of behavior tell us you just restate or repack someone else's thoughts.

Unemployment measures only people receiving unemployment benefits and actively looking for jobs. That captures a small picture of the employment situation. Workforce participation is a much better measure until dems change that definition too.

FBI investigates how maggots got into DNC breakfast

Protesters opposed to the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip have been protesting outside the Democratic convention in Chicago.

You can bet your ass the FBI will have somebody in jail for this toot sweet.

And Director Wray will have no knowledge of the event, who is leading the investigation, and/or the status. Even if he DID, he "can't comment on an ongoing investigation. "

(Although he'd be glad to follow up with you via email, at some point/as details become available)

Maybe the Democrats should go to the top of their To Do List and complete that one before they start worrying about other stuff.

I have no idea what actual polling data shows but you can tell the dems ramped up spending in the online troll department. Just look at out and out lies posted on here the last few days.

Im not saying some of these posters are paid trolls, but im definitely not saying they aren't. However the two in particular all pull from the same troll research bank where the machine stores all their canned responses, support, and messages. So its hard to tell if theyre being paid, doing it for free but have the same access, or just part of the hive mind who happen to gladly pass along some of the same troll content.

Until there is negative job growth and/or the unemployment rate goes above the 4 percent range you really have nothing to say.
Quibbling over an adjustment in the number of jobs ADDED while complaining about 4.3 percent unemployment is really a sign of how desperate Republicans are to find something more to whine about.
Until we are at 15 percent unemployment like we were under Trump it's really not a problem. Is that what y'all call making America great again??
Double digit unemployment and no toilet paper to wipe our asses. Good times!!!

Funny story about the Obama "wave"

The artist (well, he was more of a vandal than an artist, he mostly just cut and pasted things) that created the iconic Obama image that was plastered on every Volvo and Subaru in your local university parking lot, STOLE the image he used, and then lied about it. Guy was a complete fraud, just like Obama. You can't make it up.

Did you even look at the numbers? The statistics?
Since 1989, when there is a Democrat in the Oval Office, Democrats have created approx 51 million jobs.
During that same time, Republicans have created about 2 million.
What more do you need to know?? That says it all.
The stock market has performed better under a Democrat President for the last 75 years. That is also a fact.
You have ZERO arguments.
You have ZERO facts.
All you have is a failed Reality TV star, an insurrection and a lie about the last election. It's really pathetic.
Vote Blue if you care about your job and your stocks.

Not a good start for you.


As mentioned yesterday....current unemployment is 4.3 %.

4.3 >>> 4. You do understand which is greater, right?

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

The unemployment rate rose by 0.2 percentage point to 4.3 percent in July, and the number ofunemployed people increased by 352,000 to 7.2 million. These measures are higher than a year earlier,when the jobless rate was 3.5 percent, and the number of unemployed people was 5.9 million.

The number of people employed part time for economic reasons rose by 346,000 to 4.6 million inJuly. These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part timebecause their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs.


Oh.....and they just took away 800K jobs from Biden's incorrect numbers.

Sort of. RFK fits in a narrow window. His position on vaccines is popular with most Trump voters and him as CIA director would be fire. He doesn't have to campaign generally but very specifically he can flip some votes and energize the base on certain issues.

And bring to Trump the old fashioned, moderate Dems who don't like the direction of the 'new' Dem/lib party, but are hesitant to pull the lever for a R.
