Granted, this isn’t nearly as bad as Trump dodging the Draft. But still, it speaks volumes that CNN’s Jim Acosta sounded like Trump yesterday when he accosted a Harris campaign spokesman: Would it kill you guys to have a press conference? Why hasn’t she had a press conference? News media across the spectrum have been… Read more.
JD Vance is fulfilling his Republican duty by questioning the valor of Kamala’s VP pick, Tim Walz. It might seem like a symptom of the congenital imposter syndrome Vance suffers. But it’s actually a manifestation of the smear campaign Republicans execute as an article of faith. Tim Walz, a retired National Guard Command Sergeant Major,… Read more.
Trump ridiculed Scott Trump continually ridiculed Tim Scott, saying, “You are campaigning harder for me than yourself.” This was Trump’s sadomasochistic way of acknowledging how hard Scott was auditioning for VP. That’s why MSNBC host Joy Reid and others waxed clairvoyant and indignant last night, explaining why Trump didn’t pick him. Of course, any Black… Read more.
Democrats in panic Mere seconds after last night’s debate, every reporter and pundit on CNN shared how their phones were “blowing up” with messages from Democratic politicians, donors, and organizers. They were all panicking, bemoaning their party’s fate if Joe Biden remained at the top of their ticket for the November General Election. Thomas Friedman… Read more.
MAGA-Republican fear-mongering MAGA-Republican fear-mongering has Democrats wetting their beds. In fact, with their talk of revenge, “I-am-your-retribution” Trump and his bullying MAGA propagandists are fiendishly instilling fear in everyone. ‘Of course we aren’t fucking bluffing.’ That’s the message one close Trump adviser and former administration official to speak…wants to get across to the press and… Read more.
The Swift conspiracy For Republicans, everything is about their cult leader, Donald J. Trump. Only that explains this: Republicans have speculated that Swift is some sort of Pentagon plant, ginned up by secret liberal forces to swing the 2024 presidential election while also boosting the fortunes of the Kansas City Chiefs, who are headed into… Read more.
Haley outperforms Trump Simply put, just yesterday, the Wall Street Journal published a New Hampshire poll with Donald Trump defeating Nikki Haley 60% to 39%. But the final results are trending much closer. That means Haley will outperform expectations. And that’s why she rushed to set the narrative by declaring a “big-mo” victory. Of course, Bill Clinton set the… Read more.
Trump’s perverse appeal to Blacks and Latinos Black and Latino men are signaling their intent to vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Polling to this effect suggests a narrative. It’s as bizarre as it is troubling. But they aren’t interested in Trump’s policies. They probably know nothing about them. Instead, Black and… Read more.
I was in the vanguard of those calling for President Biden to announce he will not seek reelection. Yes, I cited prevailing concerns about his age. He’s 80. But I also noted back then that, among other things, he promised he’d serve only one term – as a transitional president; he risked the backlash that befell… Read more.
Republican projection Donald Trump always accuses others of what he himself is guilty of. That’s called projection. And it defines so much of Trump’s political rhetoric that even his defenders engage in it. A case in point is Congressional Republicans accusing the Biden family of all kinds of financial crimes and schemes. You’d be forgiven… Read more.
