It’s political stunt time, friends. And if there’s one thing that holds true of political stunts it’s that they are taken in times of political desperation, with Hunter Biden’s laptop being the platonic ideal of political stunts, never to be topped. Although the impeachment articles filed against Kamala Harris may soon come close. What was her impeachable offense now? Oh yeah, the border. She didn’t do something something at the southern border, something. That will hold up about as long as the plans to compel Joe Biden to stay on the ticket because of some legal theory that Moses Mikey has that Biden can’t choose to not run and pass the baton to somebody else.
So into this general time of frenzy and dismay, along comes Mary Trump to kick in her two cents on where her crazy uncle stands.
Faced with the reality that he is now running against a vibrant, intelligent, experienced woman who is fully two decades younger than he is, Donald spent Sunday and Monday flailing, trying to find an angle of attack that would stick.
Unable to do so, he kept going after Joe Biden. His advisors and co-conspirators at Fox, on the other hand, criticized Harris’ personal life, her laugh, her ability to raise money. Sean Hannity, who seems to have lost the will to live, went after her for attempting to limit the use of plastic straws.
Laura Loomer, a self-professed and virulent Islamophobe, marked the recent death of the great Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee by calling her a “ghetto bitch.” This vile woman would have been considered too extreme for mainstream Republicans before 2016, but last week she attended the convention and sat in the front row. Donald “blew her a kiss from the stage,” and made time to speak with her.
Loomer is already calling for Republicans to “start talking about Kamala Harris’s sexual history and the reason why she likely doesn’t have any children of her own. I’m willing to bet she’s had so many abortions that she damaged her uterus.”
It probably will get that stupid and ugly. We’ve already started out with “crazy cat lady” and J.D. Vance’s insane allegation that “if you don’t have children, you don’t have a stake in this country.” And I don’t think that’s a wise tactic for the GOP. We went through a lot of this with Barack Obama, and nobody is in the mood for Birther Two On Steroids. We’ve heard it before.
When Trump came on the scene he brought in a Trojan horse full of characters with him, who were as utterly vile as they were unqualified to be holding high posts in government. The likes of Kash Patel, Laura Loomer, Stephen Miller got posts in the first Trump administration, or aspire to posts in a second, that they would never get in a legitimate Republican administration. Laura Loomer wants to be Trump’s press secretary, a job that she would never get if the Republicans hadn’t gone collectively mad and handed the keys to their party over to the Trump family, to do what they will.
Mary Trump quotes from Kamala’s Tuesday morning press conference and it is the stuff of nightmares — for Donald, that is.
“As many of you know before I was elected as Vice President, before I was elected as U.S. Senator, I was the elected AG of CA. Before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So, hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type. . . .
“As a young prosecutor . . . I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse. Donald Trump was found liable by a jury of sexual abuse. As Attorney General of California, I took on one of our country’s for-profit colleges and put it out of business. Donald Trump ran a for profit college, Trump University, that was forced to pay $25 million to the students it scammed. As District Attorney to go after polluters I created one of the first environmental justice units in our nation. Donald Trump stood in MaR-a-Lago and told big oil lobbyists he would do their bidding for a 1$ billion campaign contribution. During the foreclosure crisis, I took on the big Wall Street banks and won $20 billion for California families, holding those banks accountable for fraud. Donald Trump was just found guilty of 34 counts of fraud.”
Mic drop, indeed.
This conflagration will get ugly. Trump has no way to make himself appear to be the reasonable alternative to a seasoned politician twenty years his junior. He doesn’t have the advantage of being the iconoclast and the untried quantity that he had back in 2016. He has nothing now but a failed track record and a ton of video footage of how incompetent and doddering and old he is — not his opponent. Trump was furious on Sunday when Biden stood down and that’s why the crazy talk of the lawsuits.
Trump is totally unprepared for what will come in the next several months. He’ll lose this election, then he’ll have to stand trial in three more criminal cases and he may have to serve time before too long in the case that he was found guilty in a few months ago. Evidently the idea of Trump in prison is alarming none other than Marge Greene.
Trump’s got a lot of problems coming his way. And J.D. Vance is going to flame out along with Trump. He better cobble together yet another version of his history and sell it because he’s going to need some source of income. Mark my words, Vance will kick himself for selling out to Donald Trump, sooner rather than later. Vance is young and he made a pact with the Devil which is going to work out the way that those things usually do.
Sending Mr Trump and Mr Vance my thoughts and prayers.
Laura Loomer not only has no children, she isn’t even married.
Apparently she’s saving herself for the correctly appointed incel. (Or maybe an awesome cat!)
and if she keeps up the crazy, which she is increasing, she’ll never get anyone to put a ring on it. crazy tends to drive off a lot of guys-even the crappy ones.
marjie Kooky Pants should keep her head down since they still haven’t arrested the d.c. bomber and that video has me convinced she is that bomber. Of course that would mean she’d have to do the smart thing and, well, you know…..
Trying to ignore the ugliness toward VP Harris while I’m screaming at the ugliness is making my head bust open! 🤯 Wow! An adult female dated other adults…what a slut! A happy person has a ready, raucous laugh…what a slut?! Huh?! A professional, busy woman never had kids…what a slut?! I don’t know why Harris is childless (is it choice or heartache?) and it’s nobody’s business! A wonderful meme is circulating reminding us that not a single U.S. President has given birth to a child, but now it seems to be important to the haters! And, I don’t know if Harris is a cat lady, but I am and my cat is pissed that JD Vance thinks that’s bad! In fact, my cat is joining the #MillionMeowMarch!! 😻
/\ /\ /\ This, a thousand times over! /\ /\ /\
Thank you for stating the obvious.
PS being mothers hasn’t done much for Sarah Palin or Lauren Boebert.
HA HA HA HA HA – two perfect examples of how NOT to do it!
“Family Values”, indeed!
I am a childless crazy cat lady, albeit a married one. We couldn’t afford a kid in my first marriage. $30K a year between us was not enough to.afford a kid. And it turned out we were just fine as a family of two. I remarried nearly 5 years later, and he had a vas when we met.
And frankly, while I enjoyed working with kids, I didn’t feel.a huge necessity to have one of my own. We are second parents to my best friend’s kids,so we have a,stake in seeing them have happy lives.
FYI, J.D., decent human beings don’t require offspring to have a,stake in the future. Some of us unselfishly believe we all.have a duty to.leave the world a little better than we found it. I guess that’s your problem: the idea of doing something unselfishly is completely incomprehensible to Republicans. Caring about what happens to other people’s kids just doesn’t make sense to you. The GOP: the party of what’s in it for me.
