Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:


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.

Another active GOP office holder. Sure, he didn’t say Harris’ name, but he’s not talking about Trump, that’s for damn sure.

 
You know, I’ve been kinda worried the last couple of days. Wondering if enough people have lost their damn minds to elect the felon. Feeling a bit defeated. But today has been different. I feel the hope and joy again, lol. This helped. Women are going to save us all.

 
……..“We’re a dumping ground. We’re like a garbage can for the world,” Trump continued.

“That’s what’s happened. We’re like a garbage can. You know it’s the first time I’ve ever said that. Every time I come up and talk about what they’ve done to our country, I get angrier, and it’s the first time I’ve ever said ‘garbage can,’ but it’s a very accurate description.”

Denigrating the U.S. or claiming the country is past its prime has long been part of Trump’s stump speech — his slogan is Make America Great Again, after all — and that has continued during this campaign, with the Republican calling America a “nation in decline” and a “third-world hellhole” run by “perverts” and “thugs.”

The former president has reserved particular venom for immigrants, however.…….

 
Something is wrong with this split-screen picture.

On one side, former president Donald Trump rants about mass deportations and claims to have stopped “wars with France,” after being described by his longest-serving White House chief of staff as a literal fascist.

On the other side, commentators debate whether Vice President Kamala Harris performed well enough at a CNN town hall to “close the deal.”


Seriously? Much of a double standard here?

Somehow, it is apparently baked into this campaign that Trump is allowed to talk and act like a complete lunatic while Harris has to be perfect in every way.
I don’t know the answer to the chicken-or-egg question — whether media coverage is leading public perception or vice versa — but the disparate treatment is glaring.


This week, it became simply ridiculous.


Retired Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly — who served as Trump’s homeland security secretary for six months, then as his White House chief of staff for a year and a half — said in an extended interview with the New York Times that Trump “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.”

This followed a similar shocking assessment by retired Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the final 16 months of Trump’s presidency.

Milley is quoted in Bob Woodward’s latest book, “War,” as saying that Trump is “fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous person to this country.”

It is hard to overstate how extraordinary this is.

Two of the nation’s most honored and respected warriors, both of whom worked closely with Trump for extended periods, warned the nation about the grave danger of returning him to the White House.

Respecting the tradition of keeping the armed forces out of partisan politics, neither Kelly nor Milley went so far as to explicitly endorse Harris.

But they clearly intended their remarks to be understood by those who might vote for Trump as flashing red lights and blaring sirens……
