Joe picks Kamala for VP. Thousands cheer!

 

[Tigersman]

I second those cheers. Only the Russians and the US Postal Service can beat Biden now. Trump is a lame duck now.

 

[YDB95]

Cue the usual suspects saying Biden's only chance to win was by naming a Republican in 5...4...3...

‘That’s all they’ve got?’ MSNBC’s Morning Joe and Mika mock Trump’s attacks against Biden-Harris

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski laughed out loud at President Donald Trump’s first attack ad against the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket.

The Trump campaign released an ad calling Biden “slow” and Harris “phony,” after the California Democrat was named his vice-presidential running mate, and the “Morning Joe” hosts were decidedly unimpressed.

“That’s funny,” Scarborough said, as both of them laughed. “Yeah, good luck with that.”

“That’s all they’ve got?” Brzezinski added. “That was a look at Trump’s campaign’s opening line of attack.”

Just think how Pence feels as he contemplates debating Kamala? Mikey is soooooo fucked!


Trump team worries Kamala Harris will ‘chew’ up Pence and ‘spit him out’ in VP debate: Nicolle Wallace

“They thought she would more than go toe-to-toe with [Mike] Pence, they thought she could chew him up and spit him out and pointed to her cross-examination of one Bill Barr,” she explained.

“I don’t know that there’s a better debater or questioner on the political field right now,” Wallace said. Her skill-set is unmatched in terms much being able to articulate an argument, to patiently wait to make her point and look at the argument that the democratic ticket has to make.”

‘That’s crap’: Amy Klobuchar rips Trump on Fox News for calling Kamala Harris ‘nasty’

Shortly after Joe Biden choice Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate, Donald Trump was asked about the selection at a presidential news briefing.

Trump complained that Harris was “extraordinarily nasty” to Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) blasted Trump for his language during an appearance on Fox News.

Kamala's pick signifies a new aggression in the Dem's approach. No more Mrs Nice Gal!

 

[JackLuis]

I'll admit I wanted Kamala for Ass Kicking AG, but her pick for VP is a real help to Joe's ticket. Unlike Hillary's choice of Tim Cane, a weak unchallenging lick spittle VP who would be content to stay in the shadows, Harris signifies a VP who can drive the platform in the press and in the Senate.

My cynical nature has a feeling that Joe wanted her inside the tent and by her pick for VP gives her an inside track to replace Joe in 2024, when Joe will be Toooooooo old to stand up to the rigours of the job.

Harris is ambitious and now she just has to keep driving to get the top job.

Top election forecaster finally releases its 2020 projection — and it will bring back memories of 2016

Polling expert Nate Silver and his team at FiveThirtyEight have released their highly anticipated 2020 election forecast that shows former Vice President Joe Biden favored over President Donald Trump — but not overwhelmingly so.

In total, the forecast shows that Biden currently has a 71 percent chance of winning the election, whereas Trump’s chances are at 29 percent.

While this may sound good for Biden, it’s also roughly where former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton stood on election day in 2016, meaning yet another upset is well within the range of possibility.

“While it’s clear that Biden is comfortably ahead of Trump right now — nationally and in most battleground states — the forecast shows Trump with a meaningful chance of winning because there’s still plenty of time for the race to tighten,” the forecast states.

Joe does have the advantage that he is not Hillary though.

Wonkers are happy with Kamala!

Kamala Harris Is Your New Vice President, Now Let's Go Win This Motherf*cker

KAMALA HARRIS! All right, kids, let's do this!

Old Handsome Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris to be the next vice president of the United States. Which ... Ann Coulter, you were SO CLOSE.

"NEW VP PREDICTION!
Cory Booker announces he's transitioning to female.
Biden chooses Corina Booker as his VP."

Wow, Republicans are getting better at comedy, and the left is worried.

Anyway, Wonkette would like to be the first to say congratulations to the first woman vice president of the United States, who will also be the first Black vice president, first Black woman vice president, first Indian-American vice president, first Asian-American vice president, and just a whole lot of other firsts.

Sarah Palin Has Some Just Really Good Advice For Kamala Harris, Dontcha Know?

Well here's a nice story for ya from Wasilla where the air is cold and it's moose bonin' season, when the moose bone each other all the live-long day!*

Sarah Palin was sittin' up there in Alaska and she heard, dontcha know, that Joe Biden, AKA Squirrelly Joe, picked Kamala Harris to be his VEEP, AKA his VEEPEE, AKA his Mama Grizzly, just like John McCain picked Sarah Palin to be all those things!

And she thought, well, maybe I should go get a Big Gulp and put a coupla squeezes of squeezable Boone's Farm in it,** ya know? and after that, she just thought, ya know what? Ya know what? Ya know? Ya know.

So she got her ghostwriter on the Zoom (she's been stayin' at home because of the Covid) and said hey ghostwriter, ya know? Ya know? Ya know. We should write somethin' nice to Kamala Harris, because as I always say, to everything there is a season, and right now, I feel like it's the season to be nice and give Kamala some real good advice, Mama Grizzly to Mama Grizzly, about the upcomin' campaign!

(YOU KNOW I STILL WANT 'EM TO LOSE, HONK HONK, said Sarah Palin, honkin' the joke horn she keeps by her Zoomin' couch for these occasions. Bristol gets mad 'cause it wakes up the new twins Scoundrel and Wombat*** but that's not Grandma Grizzly's problem now is it.)

They wrote the nice message on the Instagram, which we'll place here so you know we aren't fake newsin':

Actually that was real nice of Sarah to give this advice, not that Harris, a real pro needs it.

You sound a bit desperate.

Tim who? Maybe you should do your research before dumping on someone.

Cue the usual suspects saying Biden's only chance to win was by naming a Republican in 5...4...3...

He did pick a fellow Republican, but we'll have to stomach her as the price for not ruining the last chance to save our planet from environmental collapse.

There are a number of things against Kamala:

1. Her several civil and human rights violations as California Attorney General and San Francisco, including keeping an innocent man on death row, preserving cash bail, keeping people in prison past their sentences, harassing (often transgender) sex workers, criminalizing truancy, and jailing people for mere marijuana possession.
2. Her support for the Swedish Model of partial legalization of sex work instead of the full decriminalization of sex work as in New Zealand.
3. Her anti-gun stance is more than a little extreme. It's not a moderate, background check thing. It goes much further than possibly Beto's.
4. Doesn't stop her from hypocritically owning a gun herself or using bodyguards.
5. She is far too cozy with bankers and billionaires.
6. She's too friendly to AIPAC, the Israel lobby.
7. She supports civil asset forfeiture.
8. She thinks that any criticism of the Democratic party is some kind of betrayal, even constructive criticism.
9. She is known to be tied with Hillary Clinton, so likely to share the same reckless, wasteful, lawless foreign policy of wars of aggression launched without the consent of Congress.
10. She directly benefits from the prison industrial complex.
11. She advocated censorship of social media.
12. She didn't prosecute the pedo priests.

Now, the pros:

1. She favors, if not a UBI exactly, something similar.
2. She's a co-sponsor of the Heroes Act.
3. She is at least on some issues pro-LGBT rights and helped achieve marriage equality in California by not defending Proposition 8. As a pansexual guy, that isn't small potatoes.
4. She has favored some, if flawed, version of single-payer health care.
5. She had the balls to confront Biden on his coziness with segregationists.
6. She stated that she believed Biden's accusers, though that's awkward now that she's his running mate.
7. She sponsored the LIFT Act, which would have at least somewhat reversed the reverse Robin Hoodism of the tax code that favored the ultra rich.
8. She now favors legalized pot.
9. She did show some principles in refusing to seek the death penalty, even if she also defended it in court.
10. What she did to Kavanaugh. It still sticks in Trump's craw.
11. I'd like to see her and Pence go at it. I don't even know who'd win, but it is likely to be a brutal brawl. By the way, will Karen have to stand next to him as they debate?
12. Maybe her drubbing in the primaries might, just might, one could always hope, make her slightly less arrogant.
13. Maya Rudolph. Four Years of Maya Rudolph. Enough said.
14. She's not Susan Rice. So, not an actual war criminal. Yet.
15. Her anti-recidivism program.

 

[KeithD]

She'd make a competent president, honoring the office and recognizing and staying close to the classic bounds of the office. She wouldn't try to soak up all of the air on the planet to focus on her personally 7/24.

In contrast to what we have now.

 

[LincolnDuncan]

45s opposition research must show that calling women "nasty" is a winner with the base. Also, disgusting, disgraceful and the likes of which the world has never seen.

How can those fuckers continue to buy into to that repetitive, juvenile vocabulary?!

 

[SevMax2]

And now, we truly do have two major party tickets.

One is the Republican ticket.

The other one is Trump and Pence.

 

[KeithD]

And now, we truly do have two major party tickets.

The other one is Trump and Pence.

As long as real Republicans vote Biden/Harris, I can live with any folks thinking, if they want to, that Biden/Harris are Republicans.

'Like Everything Else He Inherited, He Ran It Straight Into The Ground'

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did their first event together on Wednesday as running mates, and it was huge. There were balloons and a parade and Hunter Biden dressed up like a clown and yeah just kidding, we're in a pandemic and Democrats actually believe in science, so it was kinda weird. The two candidates addressed journalists in a big room all by themselves, but the livestream was great and had loud bouncy music and everything. Hooray!

We're gonna say it right now. You ready for us to say it? We're just gonna say it. Joe Biden picked a badass running mate.

Consider this passage spoken by Harris. Read every word and inject it into your veins and put it on a yard sign and make it your work email signature until November 3:

HARRIS: "When other countries are following the science, Trump pushed miracle cures he saw on Fox News. While other countries were flattening the curve, he said the virus would just poof, go away, quote, like a miracle. So when other countries opened back up for business, what did we do? We had to shut down again. This virus has impacted almost every country, but there's a reason it has hit America worse than any other advanced nation. It's because of Trump's failure to take it seriously from the start, his refusal to get testing up and running, his flip flopping on social distancing and wearing masks, his delusional belief that he knows better than the experts.

All of that is the reason. And the reason that an American dies of COVID-19 every 80 seconds. It's why countless businesses have had to shut their doors for good. It's why there is complete chaos over when and how to reopen our schools. Mothers and fathers are confused and uncertain and angry about childcare and the safety of their kids at school. Whether they will be in danger if they go, or fall behind if they don't. Trump is also the reason millions of Americans are now unemployed. He inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground."

And that, loves, is what the vice presidential candidate is supposed to do. Beat the shit out of them. She is going to make Trump and Mike Pence look like absolute clowns.

Kamala driving the stake deep into the Trumper's chest!

This Sh*t Is Not In The Bag

Hello, it is August 13, 2020, and there are 82 days until the US American presidential election of presidents.

Things have been looking cautiously optimistic, which is the best we really want to say about an election season where so far Joe Biden has been beating the fuck out of Donald Trump in every poll, sometimes by double digits. The average right now is 8.2 percent. Monmouth, Nate Silver's top-rated pollster, has Biden up by 10 and over 50 percent. Just yesterday, new swing state polls came out from CNBC and Change Research showing Biden up six points in Florida, five points in Michigan, four points in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, a point up in Arizona, and just a point down in North Carolina. Things tightening a wee bit? Maybe. But they always tend to, as we get closer to Election Day.

At the same time, there are certain things about the election that do not look good. As we've been detailing this week, the Russian attack is back, and this time they're using Republicans in Congress as willing and useful idiot assets to achieve their goals. And their chief asset sits in the White House, where he and lackeys like Attorney General Bill Barr are doing everything they can to hurl dildos in the gears of American democracy, fucking with the post office, fucking with the rule of law, fucking with whatever they can find to fuck with. And of course, Barr is planning to announce the results of his bullshit clownshow "investigation" into the origins of the Russia investigation, which, as if we needed to be reminded, was the investigation into the Russian attack that helped Trump get into office in the first fucking place.

Get out the vote and never let up on those fuckers!!

When I'm not at Lit trading insults with politically conservative, misogynist racists, I'm actually a humble guy. It's hard to remain humble when I see evidence of limited, binary thinking. Life is full of shades of gray.

Top election forecaster finally releases its 2020 projection — and it will bring back memories of 2016



Joe does have the advantage that he is not Hillary though.

A thing about the Five Thirty Eight forecast is that there's inherent uncertainty when you're talking about an event that's 12 weeks away (on top of all the pandemic-related uncertainty). Silver goes on to say that the longer Biden's lead stays where it is — and it's been pretty stable all year — the more uncertainty you remove, and that percentage will go up.

You can look at a lot of different states, but the ones to watch are the same ones that were the whole ballgame in 2016: Pennsylvania and Florida. If the same candidate wins both those states, they're the next president.
