#Democratic #Presidential #Nominee #KamalaHarris uses #townhall to show #empathy with #Latino #voters.

#WannabeDictator #DonaldTrump has absolutely no #virtues as a #person, as a #businessman, and as a #Republican #Candidate. He is a #racist and #whitesupremacist.
— The media should be ashamed for even asking.

I’m Running Out of Ways to Explain How #Bad This Is
What’s happening in #America today is something #darker than a #MisinformationCrisis. The truth is, it’s getting harder to describe the extent to which a meaningful percentage of #Americans fed a diet of #farright #faux #news have #dissociated from #reality.
#GOP #senator #JohnKennedy (R - #Louisiana) #ruthlessly #mocked for saying #hurricane #victims don’t need #tampons.
“I think he means that #menstruation stops if the #President #declares a #natural #disaster,” one #commenter #joked.
#Trump eyes a #ridiculous #plan to #overhaul #US #military #leadership.
The #question isn’t whether Donald #Trump intends to #fire #US #military #leaders in a possible second term. It’s #how.
— Of course He would want to ensure that #politically reliable cronies are in charge of our military as he enacts his plan to become a dictator.
#ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump has kept in touch with more #foreign #leaders than #VladimirPutin since leaving office.
Trump reveled in communicating with #foreignleaders when he was #president and hasn't stopped doing so since he lost his 2020 #reelection #bid.
— These communications should be investigated for #LoganAct #Violations

“The whole country will be like — you want to know the truth? It’ll be like #Detroit,” the senile #Republican #presidentialnominee said. “Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your #president.”

@Susan_Larson_TN That… wut… like? *headtilt*
@Susan_Larson_TN Is it Detroit's turn to be the demon city? I guess the "organized retail theft in San Francisco" narrative is running out of gas finally. I remember Chicago being the demon city, esp. during the Obama years, and of course Portland during CHAZ, CHOP, etc. Maybe having a SF nominee is a stroke of genius, the right having already played the SF-bashing card.
@Susan_Larson_TN I don't understand how a person can be that old and that ignorant about basic human bodily functions. I mean, I've never menstruated, but I've talked with people who have. It isn't that complicated.
