Record That Campaign Admits Are True Shows
GOP’s ‘Desperate’

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 8/11/2024 4:46:06 PM

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — who was appearing in his personal capacity — argued that statements from Republicans that 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) overstated his title and falsely claimed to have carried weapons in war — which the Harris-Walz campaign conceded the validity of by updating his bio on their campaign website and saying that Walz misspoke about carrying weapons in war — show “how desperate Republicans are not to talk about the issues.”

Comments:

Well, at least no one characterized it as "pouncing."

You don't hear about Buttigieg as a serious contender any more for some reason. That reason being, that although the Democrats made be corrupt, godless traitors, they are not stupid. They now see what we saw with this pathetic little snowflake four years ago.

The credibility of the incompetent, foolish Buttster is less than zero. Why do the networks put him on to run his mouth? No one else available? Indeed, he is Alfred E. Neuman personified.

Pete, you haven't been paying attention. Trump and Vance are the only ones talking about the issues. Take your complaint to Kamala. One more thing, make sure your resume is up to date, you will be out of a job soon. Trump is going to replace you with someone who knows what he is doing.

MSNBC is the self-appointed police force for racist comments in American society. Not a day goes by when at least one of the pundits at the network does not label someone a "racist" – even if they are not actually a racist. Yet, last week, one of MSNBC's own went on another overtly racist rant against white people. Primetime host Joy Reid thanked Kamala Harris for not picking Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as her running mate because, unlike Tim Walz, Kelly is "super white." Err, not just "super white. According to Reid, Sen. Kelly is "like a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread white."

Corey Bjertness, now a pastor in Horace, North Dakota, told The Post. (snip) “Running for Congress is not an excuse,” Bjertness said of Walz’s decision to quit. “I stopped everything and went to war. I left my wife with three teenagers and a 6-year-old and I was gone for 19 months.”

Can someone please explain how this is legal? And why are Republicans not outraged by this criminal lawfare against the party’s presidential candidate?

With Kamala Harris becoming a rock star by inviting rock stars to open her act, it’s clear she’s focused on generating excitement through pure fluff. But whereas Harris captures headlines with showmanship, Donald Trump has an opportunity to resonate deeply with a far more substantial and often overlooked voting bloc: those who have paid into the Social Security system. If Trump zeroes in on this group, he can unlock a political goldmine that could propel him back into the White House. In what even the New York Times admits could be a game-changer, Trump has proposed ending income taxes on Social Security benefits.
