Kamala Harris smashes fundraising record with stunning $81 million haul over 24 hours

And over $100M in 48 hours. I wasn't onboard when Biden dropped out and wanted to see a competition for the nomination, but seeing the Democratic Party coalesce with excitement, major endorsements, and record fundraising has me feeling much better about November. Well, at least better than I was feeling for sleepy old Joe's chances against the other old fogey.

Anyone want to bet Trump won't debater her?

I'll counter that with have you ever heard any of the gobbledygook that comes out of Trump's mouth in interviews and speeches? Literally nonsensical. But you don't care about that, do you?

Kamala Harris smashes fundraising record with stunning $81 million haul over 24 hours

Posted By Jim Moscheck

There are so many things Trump has said over the past nine years that I could include in this post, but here is a small sampling for those who may not have heard or seen these on their favorite form of media:

Trump on a way to mitigate the effects of Hurricanes by dropping nuclear bombs into the eye: "[Hurricanes] start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?"

Trump using his amazing ability of scientific reasoning: "All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets."

Trump: The closest thing is in 1917, they say, the great pandemic. It certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people. Probably ended the Second World War. All the soldiers were sick.

Trump at the start of Covid: "We had 15 coronavirus cases. Within a couple of days, it’s going to be down to close to zero. One day, it’s like a miracle. It will disappear.”

Do I have to post the idiotic suggestions he made during a Covid press conference about injecting bleach into our bodies or shoving a UV light up our rear ends? That one would be #1 if we were to rate them.

Trump on having Covid: "I tested positively toward negative."

Trump on the Fourth of July: “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory,”

And last. but not least, is this fine Trump sentence (using only the best words, btw) showcasing Trump's magnificent brain and train of thought"

"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

Well, Shaffer, since you want to use last names, since you ignored my post #5, I assume that you believe everything trump stated in the quotes I cited wasn't bat shit crazy? 

I didn't even included the incredibly succinct utterance where he said, when commenting on Hurricane Florence, and I quote: "One of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water." As opposed to what? From the standpoint of sand? From the standpoint of cows? From the standpoint of rocks? From the standpoint of fire? 

How about the air superiority he said the US achieved in the Revolutionary War to beat England? Or the plague of 2017 which brought an end to WW2?

You can cherry pick any politicians words and you'll come up with some doozies. Trump just makes it too easy. You can ignore them all you want.

Hmmm, Harris will appeal to moderates, independents, young people, people of color, women, reasonable men, etc. Many of whom who were turned off by Biden's age. A reasonable VP pick will only make her stronger.

What did JD Vance bring? The MAGA faithful and not much else.

Kamala will almost certainly win the voters of Biden, Obama, and Hillary, as well as many Haley voters. She's getting support up and down the Democratic party apparatuses. Her campaign knows how to engage with younger voters using social media, and she is getting all kinds of endorsements from Hollywood and the music industry. Meanwhile, Trump is backing out of the September debate, citing media bias and attacking Kamala for advocating the use of paper straws. It is okay to hope that Trump loses again, but take nothing for granted. Get out and vote, and take a friend with you.

I'll admit all politicians say stupid things, even Kamala Harris. 

Ignoring your candidates faux pas while railing against his opponent?

Greg does not seem to be denying that Trump has lots of flaws himself.
Well, it's just I posted a bunch of Trump "doozies" to counter his criticism of Harris. Shaffer, although I'd rather call him Greg, called what Kamala said a doozy while ignoring the multitudes of lies, falsehoods, and the verbal mistakes/word salad of the old guy he supports?

It was not the best business decision.

Hehehe. Glad the landlord had a back up tenant ready to go.

I mean, what do you do with the inventory? I hope he wasn't too stocked up leading into election season.

Bottom line, any collusion that might have occurred is unproven, was insignificant, and did not affect the election.   This is not what the opposition told us for three years.   Have you forgotten the thousands  of breathless collusion stories published and broadcast in the years after Trump’s election?   Collusion speculation was a daily event for the major news outlets and people like MSNBC ran that story exclusively for years!

“Russian Collusion” is the other “big lie” of the last decade.  Any insignificant contact between anyone associated with Trump and Russia that you can hint at but not prove does not change this, anymore than any insignificant election fraud changes the nature and scope of Trump’s big lie.   If you want to maintain objectivity you must recall the scope and pervasiveness of these big lies.   The liars were claiming that an election was stolen!   That a president was illegitimate!  

Nit picking Manafort’s alleged contacts does not change the nature or scope of the left’s big lie, even if the allegations against Manafort are some day shown to be true.   At best your evidence shows that Manafort knew a possible Russian agent.   There is no evidence of collusion to influence the election.   So, you have been about as successful at proving collusion as Trump’s army of disbarred and disgraced lawyers was successful at proving meaningful election fraud.
Many folks on the left will agknowledge the faults with the Russian collusion story. Hillary conceded the day after the election. 

Most MAGA folks will tell you the 2020 election was stolen despite all of the evidence to the contrary.
