You hear right, my friend.

And the Tavern is perfectly good bar food.  A solid burger.  Tator tots are available as a side, which is always a plus.  And Monday is all-day happy hour, beers are $4 I think.  It's a solid and reliable option for grub, drinks, and yep, catching a game (I've watched soccer matches, baseball games, NBA finals, and plenty of Longhorn football games there over the past 30+ years).  And yeah, you never know who you'll bump into there.

I wouldn’t make it a habit, but for a big interview, I would absolutely hit that. If she can use this big hyped up initial interview to frame horserace discourse and access journalism as part of what frustrates voters, without antagonizing the media she actually needs, it’s a winner.

I think the quick and easy answer is "political punditry as to why a candidate might appeal to some part of the electorate is your job, not mine."  And then shift easily to explain why voters should vote for her.

It's a stupid fucking question.  Dismiss it as such.

She can always pepper her response with “of course Dana, I’m not referring to you.  CNN would never engage in such disreputable practices, I’m sure.”

I just had a meeting with our hospital administration because some of the patients at our hospital are confused by some of the big words we use on our standardized consent forms like “chest” and “abdomen”.   In asked what should we say “tummy”?? Without flinching he said “yes”.  Apparently they did a study and our average patient has the mental capacity and vocabulary of a 7th grader.  That is a direct quote.  This country is absolutely fucked.

If people don't know what a chest or abdomen is, y'all's policy should be to let Darwin's laws take their course.

2028. So probably, unless Trump turns on him and he gets primaried. Vivek Ramaslamadingdong has been hinting at an OH-GOV run in 2026, but maybe….

Nyt proves the point. “We will ask you about Trump and that’s it”

That’s a garbage question and it requires her to either insult voters (because they are bad or dumb and believe lies) or concede that Trump has a point.  I think all candidate should sit for hard interviews— about their policies, records, qualifications, etc. Not “please amateur psychoanalyze your opponent’s voters.” 
 

Can we also move past this little tick of “including people of color?” Embedded within that is an assumption that non-whites must have legitimate reasons for believing lies or wanting to take apart democracy.

It won’t land. All the people who understand how shitty this is already fall into one of two camps:

1. Horrified by what Trump means to the military and all other institutions and against him regardless of political inclinations.

2. Completely willing overlook what he means and compartmentalize because they are angry. 
 

Kamala needs to just register this as “yeah, he’s a weird guy who can’t even visit a cemetery normally.”

Her campaign realizes we are all just about vibes now and the effective line for the masses is “Trump’s vibes are off.”

To give y’all an idea about how serious the Harris campaign is in reaching out to rural Georgia voters, they opened a field office in Cordele (pop. 10,220) in rural Crisp County, a R+24.9 county in 2020. If Harris gets 40% of the vote there, that might be ball game.

Dems flipped the Tulsa mayorship - locked out the GOP and 2 Dems advanced to the runoff

It’s actually nonpartisan, but the top 2 candidates both hold elected office as Democrats. The Dem-affiliated candidates combined for nearly 2/3 of the vote, when the GOP incumbent won with 52% four years ago

Tulsa's city elections are officially non-partisan races, but Monroe Nichols is a (D) and so is Karen Keith.  VanNorman is a religious right buffoon:

Seems legit to me.  Instead of all of us voting across the United States we should just let Donald Trump tell us which states he will win based on how many signs he sees or who he thinks really, really likes him.  I bet he would tell us he would win all 50 states plus the country of Wakanda.
