Preach Rick!

I haven’t seen comment yet on this clever timing for Biden to announce withdrawal post RNC and VP selection. It seems genius (for now at least)

Here’s one — and a good one. Like Wilson (but in saltier language), Tiedrich also takes on the screw-ups of The Fourth Estate.

Thanks. Excellent advice. Euphoria runs its course like any other fever. My Facebook feed is so Kamala-drenched that I have to actively seek out Brainworm supporters to taunt, just to keep my mean side fed. It’s very heartening to see the Dems, generally as organized as a boxcar full of cats, conducting themselves like they’re on the parade ground at West Point. Damndest thing I ever saw. But, yeah, a special report will break that she once sent a burger back to the kitchen, demonstrating patrician contempt for our national dish that our soldiers fought and died to defend. BTW, being the son of a Baron con Schitzinpantz, isn’t he a baronet, “an inferior sort of a baron,” like Sir Hillary Bray (no relation to our Hilary).

I meant Baronet Cokely von Failson. Which is now his official name. That dreadful beard makes him look like the third assistant villain in a Monogram western.

It is going to get Ugly. It will be 2016 on steroids. Old women like me and young, women like my niece, and the men that love us, old and young are going to vote for Harris. You go girl. And when the orange fraud felon dumps his shit on you, We Have Your Back!

BTW, I just learned the quote was from Gloria Steinem.

“White Claw” is pure guffaw-level gold. Now let’s don those asbestos gloves so we can white-knuckle this sucker across the finish line.

Providing confirming proof that a campaign built on vengeance and retribution is doomed to failure when those are the only objectives said to worth fighting for.

Rick, new ad idea for LP - call it: "Day 1": newsreel head "Donald Trump takes the oath of office. Mass protests break out in NYC. Trump invokes Insurrection Act and sends in the National Guard with the directive that "lethal force is authorized to restore order". AI voice of Trump saying: "Any soldier will be automatically pardoned for any crimes they are charged with. I have total authority and immunity for these official acts". Next headline: "NYC Bloodbath as 173 people killed by National Guard". Republican Congress encourages Trump to put down protests in Chicago and SF. Closing: "Welcome to Trump's America"

Kh clearly has momentum now. I suspect it will last until shortly after the democratic convention. After that it is game on. Trump is clearly worried, that's why he is on board for debates. Democrats bucked up and united. That's the most important fact so far.

Key point made here, I think, is to avoid getting cocky.

Do the work. Fight the fight. Win in the end. But leave the strutting and preening to DJ & JD.

Great, great advice!! Love it when you put MAGA in its place!! The arrogance of MAGA and Fearful Leader is just astounding. He’s a convicted felon who a Judge said raped a woman, and they’re picking on KH!! They assume voters are stupid!! dems secret weapon? JD Vance bought and paid for by Theil. Vance like Trump is out for himself, not the country. Selfless is two syllables so understandable they have no idea what it means. VOTE people, VOTE!!! Put the MAGA bastards to bed!!!

A Donation and an Idea.

Rick, I've just finished donating $300.00 to LP and $500.00 to the Harris Campaign. I've given to LP and Biden before, but this time I would like to share an idea that I would like you to pass along. Your political gravitas carries weight and they will listen to you.

As I was watching these historic events unfold, I saw a poll that showed that 39% of the population now fears how they will pay their bills month-to-month. Harris needs a concrete idea and message to carry to the white non-educated working class voters in order to reach them. Especially as she campaigns across the Rust Belt, so here it is: Overtime pay is tax free.

I'd like to say that again.

Overtime pay is tax free.

Overtime pay is tax free.

Overtime pay is tax free.

Anyone who spends one hour working over 40 hours a week will pay $0 dollars in federal income tax. This idea carries the benefits of appealing directly to a working class populous that feels abandoned by the Democratic Party. It helps quiet the noise and criticism that the Democrats are all about identity, and less about ideas. It is also a direct reach-out to those voters who Harris will need to win in order to smash that goddamn, fat orange fuck in the head this November.

Like the great Hal Rainey's Morning in America message, this could be something like: Harris: Money in your pocket.

Or something like that.

I'll be sharing this idea in the coming days with the Harris campaign. I've agreed to volunteer to share social media posts and the like.

But I would like for you to pass this idea along. This way, when they ask Harris and Democrats in the debate with Trump, what specific concrete idea Harris has to help working class voters combat inflation, this can be a cornerstone of her campaign.

It rips the false economic populist message away from Donald Trump, and places it squarely into the hands of the Democrats where it rightly belongs.

To those in here reading this post, if you agree with this message, pleas like and repost.

Thank you.
