Republicans called for Joe Biden to step down, but, once he did, he was accused by Republicans of disenfranchising 14 million Democratic primary voters. These are the same Republicans, who had no problem ignoring the 80 million voters who cast their ballots for Joe Biden in 2020.

Republicans have accused Kamala Harris and others of a massive cover up of Biden’s mental condition. As part of the cover up, it was a stroke of genius to put a supposed mentally-impaired candidate for President in front of 50 million or more voters in a prime time, televised debate.

Kamala Harris has quickly found her punch lines. “Donald Trump, I know your type,” and “We are not going back” are powerful lines. “If he has something to say to me, he should say it to my face.” Oh, snap. The presidential race is being framed as “The Prosecutor vs. The Perpetrator.” It sounds like something right out of the WWE , and something Trump wished he had thought of.

Tim Walz had his own stinger. “Mind your own damn business.”

J.D. Vance did the Dew, but everybody knows that nobody likes Mountain Dew.

Speaking for myself, I prefer candidates who haven’t been shot, not candidates who have been shot. After all, Trump said of John McCain, “He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

Republicans and Donald Trump are throwing spaghetti against the wall to see which attacks lines against Kamala Harris are going to stick. I am offended not as a Democrat, but as an Italian-American.

Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, was forced out by Republicans, and Democrats, for the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Benjamin Netanyahu was responsible for the deaths of 1,139 Israelis on October 7th, and he was welcomed with open arms by Republicans, and Democrats, in the House.

I have been vacillating between Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania, and Mark Kelly, Senator from Arizona, for Vice President. I have changed my mind. It’s going to be Mayor Pete because I can’t spell Buttigieg. He’s smart, he’s young, he’s prepared, he’s from the Midwest, and he is vetted. He’s everywhere on TV and YouTube. Is America ready?

I am going to change my mind again. It’s Mark Kelly. He will provide a great contrast to Kamala Harris. Age 60, Navy officer, astronaut, U.S. Senator, bald.

Oops! I got it wrong. Hopefully, Gov. Tim Walz will be the man of 10,000 likes.

Even though Muhammad Ali had changed his name to Cassius Clay two years earlier, Ernie Terrell refused to use it. In 1967, Ali punished Terrell for 15 rounds, yelling “What’s my name,” and winning a unanimous decision. Trump refuses to pronounce Kamala Harris’ name correctly. Trump is going down, or, to paraphrase the words of legendary broadcaster Howard Cossell, “Down goes Trump. Down goes Trump.”

Donald Trump claimed that he would have gotten the American political prisoners back from Putin’s Russia without giving up anything…except Ukraine.

I look forward to the day when we don’t need fact checkers.

Donald Trump is making the Presidential race about race. Kamala Harris is make the Presidential race a race.

The first question I would like to hear in the September 10th Presidential debate. “Mr. Trump, you have repeatedly called Vice President Kamala Harris dumb. You said she was dumber than Joe Biden. She has said “Donald, if you have something to say, say it to my face.” Are you prepared right now to call your opponent dumb to her face?”

I can’t wait for the Vice Presidential debate October 1st between the Coach and the Couch. Or the Crack Shot vs. The Crack Pot.

I led a spin class today, and only one person knew how many ounces were in a quart. And these people presumably vote.

If Kamala Harris has slept her way to the top, then Donald Trump has done a great job of sleeping to the bottom.

It looks like the Kamala Krash that Donald Trump has been talking about is now a Kamala Krush i.e. the stock market is killing it. Fifty five years ago today, the only stock I was interested in was Woodstock.

Quotes from the Road:

“I am not against a woman being President of the United States. I am just against this one.”

“It’s been well-documented that Kamala Harris has slept her way to the top.”

“Blacks account for 13% of the population, and 60% of all crimes.”

From Geoff Duncan, former Lieutenant Governor of Georgia. “If you vote for Kamala Harris for President, that doesn’t make you a Democrat. That makes you a Patriot.”
