  2. Watching Tim Miller and Bill Kristol’s commentary over at the Bullwark. Donald Trump will be oldest Presidential nominee in US history with his own dementia and health issues. They along with many former Real Republicans will vote for Democracy being the Democratic Party Presidential ticket

  3. newsflash: the republican nominee is the utter cosmic opposite of anything resembling “change”. every dem problem you call out has heavy systemic roots in the previous administration’s slapshot approach to everything it touched.

    good luck with this change. i truly wish the gop was still that party i could have faith in to not only defend but improve our way of life. it is no longer.

  4. We’re going to get Kamala, who revealed she had never heard of the military selective service act of 1917 during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, when she said she couldn’t think of any law which told men what to do with their bodies.
    Whenever she is asked a question she can’t or won’t answer, she cackles inanely, She’s dumb as a box of rocks.
    And now we have the rumor that her running mate will be the former mayor of a town half the size of Sioux Falls and is now the secretary of transportation who has just presided over an epic failure in the transportation sector.

    The debates will be great. Trump will talk, Harris will cackle nervously. And Buttigeig will go up against Vance, who is already on record criticizing centralized systems with single points of failure and no backup redundancy etc

    1. Buttigieg is young, moderate, likable, intelligent and unafraid. He will go on Fox News or anywhere else and state his case. He speaks eight languages. He is from Indiana and lives in the swing state of Michigan. I would not be at all surprised if Harris chooses him for VP.

      1. elk, on June 25th, the same day our Secretary of Transportation’s much ballyhooed new airline regs went into effect, I was in FSD waiting for a delayed flight to Chicago, I ran into our Congressman, who was waiting for his own flight. He left before I did.
        My flight, AA 6138, was delayed, but still due to arrive in time for me to catch AA299 to BOS.
        On arrival at ORD, I was informed that AA 299 was cancelled, but I would be flown to IND on AA 3907 and could get AA 4726 to BOS.
        After boarding AA3907, the departure time was changed from 14:50 to 17:15. sitting in the last row I was able to hear what the FAs had to say about this. The pilots weren’t there, they needed their rest.”I already told the gate I’m not keeping people on this plane.” They were angry.
        We deplaned. I was rebooked on AA1033 to BOS, scheduled to depart at 18:38.
        Delay followed delay. At 22:56 we were informed that AA1033 would not leave until 10:15 the next morning.
        We were told we were entitled to hotel rooms etc, but there weren’t any. All the food vendors in ORD closed at 2200 but we were issued $12 meal vouchers.
        We were told if we could find hotel rooms and ground transportation, we should save our receipts and would be reimbursed up to $200. One couple had already called three hotels without success, another found a room fifty miles away but didnt know how he would get there.
        The agents reminded us of how fortunate we all were that ORD never closes so we would be allowed to stay in the airport.
        I gave up and slept on the floor.

        It’s been almost a month and I have not even received an apology from American Airlines.

        The Dept of Transportation, under the current secretary, has issued an unfunded mandate. The airlines are not in the hotel business, but are now required to provide hotel rooms, even when there aren’t any vacancies. They are not in the ride share business, but are now required to provide ground transportation, even in the middle of the night, when they are not driving..They are not in the restaurant business, but are now required to provide meals, even after the food vendors have closed.

        Only a nitwit thinks he can just magically make something happen by declaring it will happen..Requiring airlines to provide things which do not exist is NUTS.

          1. I just called Dusty’s office, since he is on the transportation committee, and asked how are the airlines supposed to provide the required accommodations, ground transportation and meals when none are available?

            I was told I should try complaining to American Airlines. I’ve done that already. In fact, on July 1st I called their customer service line to discuss the difficulties and asked if I could change my return itinerary so that I would have a longer window of time in ORD with which to catch my connection to FSD, just in case.
            Sure, I could do that, for an additional $157.38. No compensation for my outbound trip difficulties at all, but for an extra $157.38 I could get a little peace of mind for the trip home. As if!
            After what I had been through, I wasn’t about to give American Airlines another cent.

            I was contacted later about my experience with customer service, to fill out an online survey, and I have not heard from them since.

            2. Fortunately, we are retired and have the time, so we always drive domestically–never an airplane. Going overseas we will even opt for a ship and do a crossing–flying is miserable and unpredictable.

              1. if you go to the federal DOT website, you see that Buttigeig is bragging about how he has fined the airlines over $164 million dollars for violations of passenger protections.
                And who is going to end up paying those fines as those costs are passed along?

                He’s not solving any problems, he’s just making our tickets cost more!

  5. The Kamala Harris for President campaign has a viral campaign ad circulating that was used years prior but is even more relevant today with Trump being a convicted criminal with more prosecution ahead. Looking for to this campaign and especially the debate. The prosecutor verses the criminal. Kamala Harris the Anti-Trump 2024. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDSsci8uy8E

  6. Trump printed a trillion more dollars than Biden and Trump added twice as much debt. Thanks Trump for the inflation.
