Totally agree! And I hope Harris will have an AG with some spine!

#politics 4. Reagan and H.W. Bush were exceptions having three administrations in a row. If Harris wins, that’ll be two for the Biden regime. A third would be unlikely. History tells us Republicans (or another party?) would win in 2028. So Shapiro as VP would be out of a job. Even if Harris pulls off the trifecta, Shapiro would then be looking at 2036 to run for President after losing in 2032. Meanwhile, he could be a senator and run in 2032 for president after the Dems lose in 2028 (or 2032).

#politics For all those bummed that Shapiro wasn’t tapped for VP - and we don’t know what went on in Harris’s interview - consider these things:
1. Put aside he’s a Jew, invoking an anti-Semitic element, Israel is controversial now, and do we want him having to explain his stance regarding that?
2. He basically has the same resume as Harris. No diversity there.
3. He’s only 51 and sure to have higher political ambitions.

This guy Walz is a gem. He’s the real deal. Trump and Vance must be scared bigly.

Before Joe Biden stepped down, I was more than worried about a Trump victory in November. Now, with Harris leading the ticket, and her excellent choice of Walz, I can now say the Dems will win! Yup, you’ve heard it from a card-carrying pessimist. (But, of course, we call ourselves realists.) Did you see their speeches tonight? One hell of a roll-out.

Yesterday Trump praised the Venezuelan dictator Maduro for lowering crime in Caracas. Whether that’s true or not, the reason, according to Trump, is that Maduro is sending his criminals to the U.S. WTF? So Maduro is great for contributing to our illegal immigrant problem?

#Olympics Time-zone differences create an insurmountable problem for viewers, be it here in the U.S. or elsewhere. TV networks operate in prime time during the week, so events in Europe are already completed before Americans get to see taped versions. Weekends, and real-time broadcasts, are the best, of course.

Steve Kornacki did a good job yesterday showing the value of a country’s hosting the Olympics regarding the increase of their usual medal tally. But one thing I’d like to know: Has any country actually made a profit from hosting them? Is the cost worth the prestige? Gotta admit, though, the venue in Paris this year, using world-famous landmarks as backdrops, was spectacular.

I like creepy. How about putting the two together - creepy weird? Because you can be weird without being creepy, and vice versa.

Weird? Really? Can’t the Dems come up with another adjective for the Trump team that isn’t so lame? C’mon, folks, let’s have some suggestions. Maybe one will get picked up and go viral!

When did “liberal” become a pejorative term? As opposed to “conservative.” Liberals don’t grimace when they say someone’s a conservative. But Republicans portray liberals like they’re dog dirt on the bottom of your shoe.

#politics So, polls tell us that Americans aren’t sure they’re yet ready for a woman as president. Unlike the rest of the world’s democracies. Hmm. But they’re more than ready to elect a man who is a convicted felon? WTF is wrong with us?

Yup. I knew this would happen Trump is making excuses for why he won’t commit to debating Harris. He’s worried, and Harris is right to call the loudmouth out on it.

Now that Biden has left the stage, will the media now turn on Trump - who is now the old candidate with serious cognitive issues, not to mention his legal jeopardy? Or will they focus on Harris as a problematic nominee? We’ll see. Especially if Harris has a minor stumble during the campaign. The Right loves to paint the MSM as liberal, but they miss the point. Yeah, the reporters probably are Democrats to a large degree, but they love to bring down candidates, no matter the party.

If you can still be an “undecided” voter after seeing Trump now and when he was president, bless your hearts. But who cares what you think now that Harris is the nominee for president? You have already shown you’re clueless, so your opinion isn’t worth a grain of salt. Why not just flip a coin? Or better yet, stay home on Election Day.

#politics This morning I heard a name floated for Harris’s running mate: retired admiral James Stavridis. Interesting. I’ve seen him numerous times on Morning Joe. He’s intelligent, thoughtful, articulate, logical in global strategy. He was considered by Hillary for vice president in 2016. He’d be an excellent choice, in my view.
