She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

[cuddlemonkey]

LOL. He's just so bad at this.

In 11 seconds, we have him handshake a fist bump, then get denied on the follow-up fist bump, only to follow it up with an attempted fist bump to what looks like a campaign staffer, all while the lady throws so much shade that it must have looked like midnight to Vance. This is 11 seconds of perfection.

While still facing the fallout from his controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery last week, Donald Trump has launched a new line of attack on his Democratic presidential rival Kamala Harris: baselessly claiming that she is lying about working at McDonald’s in the 1980s.

Harris has repeatedly mentioned her brief stint holding down a summer job at the fast food joint while at college since she ascended to the top of the Democratic party’s ticket.

And, for some reason, it appears to have gotten under Trump’s skin.

Over the weekend, the former president has repeatedly accused Harris – without any evidence – of lying about working at McDonald’s.

He first made the accusation while speaking at the Moms for Liberty convention in Washington on Friday: “She also said, ‘I worked at McDonald’s.’

“Turned out she didn’t work at McDonalds,” he declared to the crowd, bizarrely adding that: “After an exhaustive study that took about 20 minutes, they found out she never worked there.”

On Saturday, he fired out a post on Truth Social again accusing Harris of lying about her stint in a Golden Arches cap.

Complete with a fake image – another of his latest obsessions – Trump scathingly wrote on Saturday afternoon: “Comrade Kamala Harris lied about working at McDonalds. SHE NEVER WORKED THERE, they think she’s “nuts.”…….

Why does CNN insist on continuing to show the Trump supporter they claim is an undecided voter?

Well, that’s a good question. Wonder why that is?

So he is in MN tonight. A state he will definitely not win. And he starts with the authoritarian BS again: if I don’t win it’s because they cheated. Only an authoritatrian would say this crap. And it seems like he is targeting the press again - he points out front of the podium and says “You understand that, you crooked people”.

Donald Trump and election denialist allies at Turning Point USA, True the Vote and other Maga stalwarts are spreading conspiracy theories about election fraud in order to lay the groundwork for charging the election was rigged if Trump loses, warn election experts and some veteran Republicans.

The consequences of the strategy could be dire. John Giles, the Republican mayor of Mesa Arizona who spoke at the Democratic national convention in August in support of Vice-President Kamala Harris’s campaign for the presidency, said that former president Trump and his allies “will throw everything at the wall and see what sticks”, if Trump loses.

He added: “They’ll claim everything went wrong if they lose. I’d be surprised if Trump doesn’t try to foment insurrection if he loses the election.”……

“Trump continues to encourage his supporters like Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA to question the integrity of our elections,” ex-Republican congressman Dave Trott of Michigan told the Guardian “He has no evidence or basis for claiming fraud and is only perpetuating these lies so he has a plan B to disrupt democracy in the event he loses.”

Other critics and experts concur.

“A lot of false claims are masquerading as efforts to change policy to improve election integrity when in actuality they’re just designed to sow distrust in our system if Trump loses,” said David Becker who leads the Center for Election Innovation and Research. “This is all designed to manufacture claims that if Trump loses, the election was stolen and to sow discord, chaos and potential violence.”

On another election front, Trump has also attacked Vice-President Kamala Harris baselessly for spearheading a “vicious, violent overthrow” of Biden to replace him as the party’s nominee, and insinuated that Harris and Biden intentionally failed to provide proper security for his rallies that spurred the assassination attempt against Trump…….

Catherine Engelbrecht, who founded True the Vote in 2009, in an interview on 30 July with Christian nationalist and self-styled prophet Lance Wallnau, said her group was partnering with a few sheriffs in Wisconsin to monitor drop boxes for voting fraud using camera equipment that the group plans to provide.

True the Vote’s game plan for watching drop boxes has echoes of one that it mounted in 2020 when it helped fund rightwing provocateur Dinesh D’Souza make the film 2,000 mules about alleged cheating at drop boxes that was widely discredited.……

It’s the most startling thing I’ve seen in this year’s presidential campaign – the astoundingly large gap between how young men and young women plan to vote this November. Among women under age 30, an overwhelming 67% plan to vote for Kamala Harris, while just 29% say they’ll back Donald Trump.

But among young men, a majority – 53% – plan to vote for Trump, while 40% say they’ll support Harris, according to a New York Times/Sienna College poll. That’s an astonishing 51-percentage-point gender gap.

It’s easy to understand why so many young women favor Harris – she has an inspiring life story, champions reproductive freedom and would break the biggest glass ceiling of all by becoming the first female president. But I’m mystified why so many young men back Trump.

Many of them seem to like Trump’s machismo. They like that he talks tough. They see him as an icon of traditional manhood.

But all this raises an unavoidable question: should Trump be looked to as an icon of manhood considering that he boasted of grabbing women’s genitals, was found liable for sexual assault and had an affair with an adult film star soon after his wife gave birth? That shouldn’t be anyone’s model of manhood.

Many young men seem to admire Trump’s king-of-the-jungle vibe: he roars, he bellows, he boasts that no one can ever beat him (unless they cheat).

But when you cut through Trump’s tough talk and look at the record, it becomes clear that Trump did very little for young men in his four years as president.…….

Trump isn’t an icon of positive masculinity. He also did very little for young men during his four years as president

Dear young men of America: do better.

I think this is Sarah Longwell’s PAC that is running these ads. She is a force to be reckoned with. I’m a big fan of hers.

 

[MT15]

They are also doing billboards. So many GOP anti-Trumpers just write or talk about their opposition to Trump. Sarah is out here raising money and “doing something”.

Here's news about the price of JFK's turncoat service for the criminal. JFK's price was more conspiracy news about his favorite uncle's conspiracy theory, and "Trump said the other project will be a panel of experts that will work with Kennedy to investigate the cause of an increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases."

That increase, that chronic increase is of course just another conspiracy theory. More madness appears to be the price for the mad man to sell out to the criminal boss.

Trump unveils two initiatives he would start as president if elected in November

The two projects are in honor of former Independent presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who dropped his own bid for the White House earlier Friday and endorsed Trump.

Dear young men of America: do better.

I do think it would be a good thing for the Harris campaign to speak too and have a policy platform to address issues, problems and the concerns of young men. It's easy to tell them to "do better" without a real and visible option and goal for young men to model themselves after. In that void, the Trump surrogates and the Joe Rogan's of the world are filling young men's minds with these caustic attitudes towards society, government, woman and their concerns. And this is kind of happening across the board regardless of race. They need to have young and older male surrogates alike talking to this demographic. Perhaps this is something that can be a focus forTim Walz with strong support and vocalization of this issues and policy proposal by Harris to address the concerns for this demographic.

 

[MT15]

I agree in principle. But from a woman’s viewpoint it’s so frustrating. Men have so many advantages and as soon as they feel the least bit ignored they want to stomp their feet and vote for a sociopath? Grow up.

Sorry, just venting.
