Majority of Democrats think Kamala Harris

would make a good president, AP-NORC poll shows 26 replies
As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.
A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.
Since Biden’s debate debacle on June 27, many Democrats have privately and even openly looked to Harris to step in and succeed Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.
As the list of Democrats in Congress calling for President Joe Biden to end his reelection bid grows, some long-time Democratic donors are joining efforts to urge the president to end his campaign.
One of those donors is Whitney Tilson, and he explained to Scripps News that rumors casting doubt on President Biden's political future are continuing to spread throughout the party. [SNIP] Tilson says all of the recent blunders are "setting it up for him to step aside."
"There's just extreme urgency here and Biden has basically no support left anywhere — almost anywhere — in the Democratic Party right now," Tilson added.
Just months before many college students will take part in their first Election Day, a survey has found a concerning amount of them don't actually know much about the background of what they're voting on. [SNIP] For example, only 31% of the more than 3,000 students surveyed knew James Madison was a Founding Father of the Constitution, and 60% couldn't identify term lengths for members of the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives. Only 27% knew Vice President Kamala Harris is the president of the U.S. Senate, 35% knew the House Speaker is Mike Johnson and one-third incorrectly thought the Constitution required the Supreme Court to have nine judges.
Bud Light slips even further down list

of America's favorite beers as underdog
shoots up rankings 16 replies
Bud Light's popularity continues to decline more than a year after a boycott disrupted the US beer industry.
A backlash that began last April - after the beer giant used a transgender influencer in an advert - has snowballed, new sales figures show.
Back then, Bud Light was the undisputed top-selling beer in American stores by a margin. It had held the place for decades.
It fell below Modelo Especial last summer - and now it has slipped to No3 behind Michelob Ultra. Coors Light could overtake Bud Light by the end of the year if the fall in sales - shown in the graph below - continues.
When the Founding Fathers mutually pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to each other, they did so “with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence.” [SNIP] Divine providence was also the only thing standing between Donald Trump and death Saturday evening. Had the would-be assassin’s bullet been a fraction of an inch to the right, we would be having a much different conversation right now. If the attempted murder of Donald Trump “is evidence of the reality of evil in the world,” as Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, said, Trump’s survival is evidence of divine providence.
Donald Trump Jr. Slams Media, Democrats

for Trying to Blame ‘Both Sides’ for
Assassination Attempt 6 replies
Donald Trump Jr. called out corporate media and Democrats who, in the wake of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, are equivocating and victim-blaming Republicans for the political violence and bloodshed.
“The leftwing media and Democrat political hacks are actually trying to ‘both sides’ some psychopath attempting to assassinate my father,” the former president’s son said in a post to X on Sunday.
“Just when you think these people can’t get any lower, they always do!!!” he added.
The small, rural city of Butler woke up Sunday morning in disbelief, grappling with the aftermath of an attempted assassination of a presidential candidate that took place too close to home. [SNIP] Mr. Watterson had driven by the rally while it was ongoing and noticed that the farm show grounds seemed to be lacking strict access and crowd control. He added that the layout of the grounds had multiple entryways.
“There were people crowded around the fence. There were people everywhere, so the fact that someone could get on one of those buildings was not unlikely at all,” he said.
What the hell happened - and how was it possible? These questions will be at the heart of the FBI investigation into probable multiple failures by the Secret Service and others in the lead-up to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. [SNIP] During 25 years with the FBI, I have seen how countless similar rallies were organised and I consider it highly likely that the Secret Service was responsible for security within an enclosed perimeter, while the local police took charge of the wider zone outside.

Campaigners have uncovered worrying teaching materials for the Pentagon's 160 military schools that many service members may see as unpatriotic and even scary.
Training manuals for its 8,000 teachers advise that Thanksgiving feasts have no historical basis and that America was founded on land 'stolen' from natives.
Though uncontroversial for some, Adam Andrzejewski, who uncovered the documents via public records requests, calls it a 'perverse' way to teach kids of service members.
His revelations come as Republicans and Democrats clash in the Senate over LGBTQ+ troops and other controversies in the $886 billion defense bill.

Politics has lots of boomerangs. The latest throwing stick to fly out and come circling back when least expected was a Democrat conspiracy aimed at keeping Trump out of the White House.

Residents of the west-central town of Springfield, Ohio, are demanding that their city council do something to stem the tide of the Haitian immigrants that have flooded the city. [SNIP] The town situated just west of the state capitol in Columbus has been a target of Haitian immigrants at least since 2014, and in the ensuing years, some ten thousand had moved to the Rust Belt town. But in the last four years alone, that population has ballooned to more than 20,000. The influx is causing serious pressures to mount on the town.
France 'on the brink of financial meltdown'

as 'rich to flee country over 90 percent tax' 25 replies
France is on the verge of a “financial crisis” and consequent economic decline after the surprise success of a hard left coalition in this weekend’s elections, the country’s outgoing finance minister Bruno Le Maire has warned. [SNIP] In a possible hint at future chaos, riot police clashed with left-wing demonstrators in Paris on Sunday evening.
The hastily assembled Popular Front (NFP) - spearheaded by left-wingers including former Presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon - is pledging to increase public spending by £125 billion if they successfully form a government. They have also proposed a 90 percent tax on incomes over £340,000 a year.

with RNC speech. Now, the election may
already be over 35 replies
Donald Trump may well have sealed the outcome of the 2024 election with a performance on Thursday night in Milwaukee that has largely been unmatched in recent American political history.
The former president eschewed the polarization and division that has marked much of his rhetoric in the past. In his speech officially accepting the Republican Party's nomination there were only a couple of references to the 2020 election. Trump was able to hit on key messages when speaking about topics like inflation, and especially immigration, in ways that were compelling and arguably responsive to the fundamental concerns of Americans.
I say this not to engage in hyperbole,
It appears that MSNBC is shocked to see some of the biggest names in Republican politics conspicuously absent from the RNC.
Who are these conservative luminaries? (X Photo) Among the “notable Republicans” absent from the convention: George W. Bush, Mike Pence, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney and Paul Ryan. (Photo) What an unfathomable loss; how can the convention go on without these critical thought leaders? More importantly, how could their consciences permit them to forsake the voters who look to them for leadership?
President Joe Biden feels personally hurt and betrayed by the way so many Democrats, including some of the party’s top leaders, have left him hung out to dry as he faces the biggest crisis of his political career, according to two sources familiar with his thinking.
And privately, many of those leaders have expressed doubts about his path forward. Former President Barack Obama’s only public comment came the day after Biden’s disastrous debate last month, when he tweeted “Bad debate nights happen“ and talked about his former vice president’s virtues. Privately, however, Obama has concerns. Bill and Hillary Clinton have
Austin Private Wealth, LLC, a Texas-based financial planning company, is being scrutinized after a social media post went viral that claimed they had put options on as many as 12 million shares of DJT shares just one day before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
The investment firm denied the allegations and has now blamed a filing error for this controversial action. (Snip) If Trump did die in the assassination attempt, his company would have become worthless. It’s stock would have become Zero in a day. The people who bought Put Options would have made billions in profits.
Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday criticized the belief of some of former President Donald Trump’s backers that “God is protecting him” after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday.
Trump survived the attempt on his life at his Pennsylvania rally after a bullet grazed his head, with some of the former president’s backers now believing that he is being protected by God, according to The New York Times. Carville on “Politics War Room” said he thinks this belief is “horseshit” and “a perversion,” adding that their religious perspective will lead to Trump destroying his enemies if reelected.

Since Biden’s debate debacle on June 27, many Democrats have privately and even openly looked to Harris to step in and succeed Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.
This was a surreal and amazing incident that unfolded tonight at the Republican National Convention.
Kimberly Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service, was confronted by Republican senators John Barrasso of Wyoming and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, who were demanding answers about the failure of the Secret Service to protect Donald Trump.
Kim Cheatle tried to run away but the senators chased after her, demanding answers.
This is just stunning. Watch below:
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough all but called on President Biden to drop his re-election campaign Thursday — as the TV host ripped the commander-in-chief’s inner circle for keeping him in the race.
“This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out,” Scarborough said during a lengthy spiel on his “Morning Joe” talk show. Scarborough, who has staunchly defended the 81-year-old president in recent weeks despite the mounting calls for him to step aside, called on those closest to Biden to help him “do the right thing.”
“It’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help
For the first time, researchers have voted to eliminate scientific names of organisms because they are offensive. Botanists decided that more than 200 plants, fungi and algae species names should no longer contain a racial slur related to the word caffra, which is used against Black people and others mostly in southern Africa. The changes voted on today at the International Botanical Congress in Madrid mean that plants such as the coast coral tree will, from 2026, be formally called Erythrina affra, instead of Erythrina caffra. (snip) The measure passed in a tense secret ballot, with 351 votes in favour against 205 opposed.
Why does she always do this?
Kamala Harris was in North Carolina rallying a small crowd of supporters as Joe Biden stayed out of the public eye after he announced he has Covid.
Harris mustered a fake accent as she delivered a campaign speech to North Carolina rallygoers in a city near Fort Liberty (previously Fort Bragg).
“We too busy watchin’ what you doin’ to hear what you’re sayin,'” Harris said in her fake accent. (Video) Harris bragged about defying the Supreme Court in their taxpayer-funded student loan bailout.

Former President Barack Obama is pressuring President Biden to reconsider his 2024 run for re-election, according to a new report.
Obama and Biden have only spoken once since the president’s debate debacle on June 27 — but stressed during that conversation that his old running mate’s chances of beating Donald Trump were “greatly diminished,” the Washington Post reported.
The 44th president also stressed that while Biden’s legacy was important to him, only his former vice president could make the call on whether to stay in the race. “Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket.
And the hits keep coming. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday demanding answers on the attempted assassination attack on President Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania last .Senator Hawley wrote that whistleblowers have notified him that a majority of the security officials working the rally last weekend were not even Secret Service personnel but were with the Homeland Security Investigations team!

Wow, the Democrats are truly screwed if Joe Biden is nominated and a substitute candidate replaces him after the convention. And it's their own fault!
