If you’re curious how good Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech was, all you need to do was checking today’s Claycord “Talk about Politics Blog”. Not a single comment, which say she hit it out of the ballpark. Because you know if she had bombed the blog would have been full of nasty comments.
Talk is cheap. Just another nothing burger. ANC the convention was just a big party full of promises and promising joy.
If bidenomics was so good for the last 3-1/2 years, why is she saying she’ll fix it if elected?
Yawn…. More BS. No she didn’t bomb it. It was just more attacks on the right with no plans or details for the future.’
Who cares?
At least the hate America show is over. God help us, please!!
Lmao you really think actual humans watched any of that? I can tell the AI bots still need improvement.
Who could actually stomach that nonsense? She’s a clown just like democrats who are ok with 14 million voters being disenfranchised. Democracy right 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck, this is MAGA country. I don’t know any democrat who’s not voting for KING TRUMP.
Trust me dude, nobody cares about that indian chick. They can do anything they want, nobody is paying attention.
Who is the president at the moment?
The Democratic Convention: Nice words were spoken, nice sentiments were conveyed…. a lot of Kumbaya …but their track record, especially that of Kamala Harris, don’t match. They really tried to appeal to the masses and to the moderates but if they get into office their policies are going to be the most left wing crazy that this country has ever seen. The democrats are actually the one that are endangering our democracy. Harris and Walz are as close as we’ve had to socialists we’ve ever seen.
Please elaborate what policies they are proposing g that are leftist?
What policies is the GOP proposing?
RFK Jr endorses Trump!
Kennedy said the same thing Bernie Sanders did – the Deep State lied, cheated and sued – doing everything it could to prevent him from running.
When did Bernie Sanders say that?
RFK made quite a speech at the Trump rally tonight.
Here’s a nice summary if you missed it.

Did he say the same thing he posted on Twitter on May 26, 2024?

President Trump scammed American workers. He promised to bring back manufacturing, raise wages, fix trade deals, close the carried interest loophole, and help small farmers. But everything President Trump achieved were things the Republican machine wanted. We got a tax cut for Jeff Bezos, deregulation for special interests, and giveaways to agriculture conglomerates.
.
President Trump let the Bush wing of the GOP run all his agencies. His Interior Secretary was an oil & gas lobbyist. His Defense Secretary was a Raytheon lobbyist. His EPA Administrator was a coal lobbyist. His HHS Secretary was a pharmaceutical lobbyist. And his Labor Secretary was a lawyer for mega corporations.
.
President Trump’s supposed support for farmers ($28 billion) all went to Big Ag conglomerates.
.
We had the worst rioting and looting this country had seen since the 60s under President Trump. He inflamed racial tensions and didn’t keep us safe. Instead of using federal law enforcement to stop the rioting, Trump thought it was good optics to let Democrat-run cities burn.
.
President Trump bragged about arming Ukraine more than Obama did. He also walked away unilaterally from the intermediate range nuclear missile treaty with Russia, destabilizing our relationship. He also exacerbated tensions between Ukraine and Russia that ultimately caused a war.
.
Trump appointed the worst neocons to the highest positions of power in his administration: John Bolton, HR McMaster, and Robert O’Brien. Now, Lindsey Graham is one of his top advisors and likely to be his Secretary of State.
.
President Trump bombed Syria, killed an Iranian general, and failed to fulfill his promise of ending the war in Afghanistan.
.
President Trump invented lockdowns. He shut down millions of small businesses and facilitated the greatest wealth transfer to billionaires in this country’s history.
.
President Trump did nothing to solve the opioid crisis. It got far worse under his tenure while his appointees running HHS were in the pocket of big pharma.
.
If you think a second Trump term would be any different, you are engaging in wishful thinking.

The word is out. A Massachusetts Kennedy just endorsed a Republican! OMG!
RFK Jr has a way of just plowing through what he wants to say. No slowing down to beg for applause or pausing to see if he’s on the winning track. Even though he is one of those who talk faster than I can listen, I do truly appreciate his lack of theatrics and his forthright approach.
I can imagine the few remaining hard line Patriotic Democrats lost their dinner tonight. And the Reigning Socialist Democrats are knocking heads together looking for a come-back strategy.

Shout out to Michelle Obama and her Rock Star status. She lights up and entergizes the crowds like few other women could do. I especially loved how she spoke so eloquently about her mother she had recently lost who according to Michelle warned her about people who have a lot of money and being too greedy. I guess Michelle’s combined outfit and shoes cost close to $4,000, their $16 million home on Oahu, their $6 million Chicago house, their $8 million D.C.house and the $15 million home out on Matha’s Vineyard. Hey, I’m not jealous and believe in capitalism, but when you are worth more than $70 million, please don’t play the opressed victim and anticapitalist in your speeches. Save that for Bernie Sanders.
They don’t have a jackass as their mascot for no reason and called dumbocrats as well.
Hard to believe Erica is that stupid to elect Obama and even more stupid to push Harris.
So Trump and Harris is the best they can come with, this country is fugged up.
I did not have Trump voters in favor of $12/gallon gas on my bingo card

Nor did I know that you actually were opposed to the Keystone XL pipeline or against fracking.
.
In 2013, Kennedy assisted the Chipewyan First Nation and the Beaver Lake Cree fighting to protect their land from tar sands production. In February 2013, while protesting the Keystone XL Pipeline Kennedy, along with his son, Conor, was arrested for blocking a thoroughfare in front of the White House during a protest. In August 2016, Kennedy and Waterkeeper participated in protests to block the extension of the Dakota Access pipeline across the Sioux Indian Standing Rock Reservation’s water supply.
.
Kennedy helped lead the battle against fracking in New York State.

Good for you taking up the fight against climate change.
