There's a report out that Donald and Ivanka have donated to one of Kamala's prior election campaigns. lol. Now it all makes sense.

Rep. Ilhan Omar wins her Democratic Congressional primary handily in Minnesota by defeating the "well-funded" establishment DNC pick chosen by the Party to try to knock her off. But no dice! :

That means that the entire Squad is going back to Congress. Rashida Taleb won by a much greater margin than she did 2 years ago when she just squeaked it out.

Everything nice in this post, except that the DNC didn't pick Ilhan's challenger. In fact, Pelosi endsored Omar lol.

There were some pro-Israel PACs that supported the challenger, but no one in Congress. Lots of PAC and corporate money though. Should've told him a while ago that it was all for waste :lol:

Twice, in fact. It makes for an interesting way of starting a debate (if there ever is a P and VP debate).

"Hello Mr. President, firstly I want to thank you for all the donations you and your family have made to my campaigns in the past"

Probably p*sses off just about everyone, I would love it.

I've been thinking about that but Trump/Pence are going to say what Trump has always said and that is when he was in the "business world," he would line the pockets, oops, I mean "contribute" to many candidates on both sides of the aisle where he did business or was going to do business maybe one day in the future and he wanted to make sure he had an "in," if you will. And that is how Trump operates so it's not a lie. I think we'll end up with egg on our faces if we go there.

Remember that photo of Trump, Melania, Bill and Hillary at that black tie affair handing out together with everyone smiling that the great friends that they were. How'd that work out for us?

True. Pelosi has her "golden rule" and I'm glad that she didn't break it. I didn't study that race and how the DNC supported her candidacy but I thought I had heard that her candidate was getting Democratic PAC money. So maybe that's where I got hung up.

Anyhow, thanks for the correction. Tell me this, do you how if the DNC supported her campaigned financially because her opponent out-spent her by quite a bit. Kinda makes me wonder ...

I agree - that's the line he's used in the past, but I'm not sure that's what his core support base wants to hear right now. It's no longer about savvy business man Trump, it's about core ideology, law and order, and protectionism. He's might accidentally end up making the case that Kamala Harris actually embodies those ideas. I say go for it and see what the reaction is.

Exactly. That's why his core base won't care about this. I happened too long ago. He's President now and he has to finish building his wall and then he has to negotiate with Mexico to get the money back. And, oh, he's loves God unlike Joe Biden who wants to KILL God. Do you understand the gravity of which I speak. JOE BIDEN WANTS TO KILL GOD AND THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED 10 YEARS AGO!!!! THAT'S ALL THEY HAVE BECAUSE MY PRESIDENCY IS PERFECT.

Oh what fun! :lol:

By the way, what happens if Biden seriously stumbles during one of the debates and losses his train of thought and says, "Oh, never mind, my time is up anyhow"? What if that happens a few times over the course of 4 debates? Because if that happens, Trump will show NO MERCY. NONE. He'll call out Joe and he say to the audience, "See? This is what will happen in that moment in time when a crisis - an emergency - faces the U.S. and Joe can't put this thoughts together. They will have a field day.

How dare Biden not select a transgender Muslim as his vice president candidate. Maybe four years later.

Kind of the story of Trump's life. He keeps getting rejected and turns to another option.

American Banks. Nyet. Hi Vlad
Manhattan high society. You're not invited. Hello Palm Beach Pedos
The Democratic Party. Eh, no thanks. Hello Deplorables

The man is such a twisted, seething mass of resentment and revenge and somehow that led him to the presidency.

This time the public finally gets to say You're Fired. And this time Plan B will be waiting for him at the courthouse in Manhattan

I would've been very happy with Karen Bass or Barbara Lee, who wasn't even under any consideration. I guess that was Lee had the temerity to vote AGAINST the Iraq War, one of Joe's favorites.

What was wrong with either of those Black congresswomen? I don't believe that they've flip-flopped their butts all over the place like Kamala has. Black people actually like Bass and Lee. Harris's own father, an economics professor at Stanford University, un-endorsed her during the Primary. Think about the fun Trump will have with that while you're sipping the Kool Aid.

Trump already out with an anti-kamila campaign ad and it is a complete dud. I mean, pathetically bad. If this is an indication of what we can expect from the Trump campaign going forward, then I don't want to hear any shyt later on about how it's all Bernie's fault. This is about getting voters out and if you can't do that under these circumstances that we have today, then don't @ me later.

Yeah, that ad is weak. Everything coming out of the bunker seems to be a gutter ball. I don't think they're going to start throwing strikes all of a sudden.

And if they do it will just backfire, because swing voters are not the ones who would think that's an issue. It would only be preaching to the racists in Trump's pre-existing base.

Of course its not, but I have no doubts that they'll do that slick **** for no other reason then cuz they can and their voters will absolutely love them for it. Candace hasnt said anything stupid in a week, so I suspect it will originate with her

I'm guessing Laura Ingraham will say something for the Aryan scrapbookers to keep and savor. I bet her breath smells like Trump's diapers soaked in formaldehyde
