US Politics, August 2024 -- "Unburdened By a Has-Been"

montreal is technically southern canada, so....

Harris moved to Montreal when she was 12

some of her gestures and intonations code very NorCal/Oakland to me but maybe that’s just me?

I hear that.. looking at her birth certificate, it turns out I walk by her Oakland birthplace all the time - a field where there used to be a Kaiser hospital. It's a field now but I understand they're going to build a women's health bldg eventually

A haunted one of course

Never thought I'd see an article like this on fucking Politico.

Weird, cruel, and basically human garbage. If there was a Fuckhead Ocean, Vladimir Futon is crawling on the bottom of it.

Psycho shit like this will get you lots of bookings on Tucker Carlson's show but normal Americans are too busy cheering the U.S. women in gymnastics to create chalkboard scrawls blaming Kamala Harris for who Algeria sends to the Olympics. pic.twitter.com/xo0tg9N2eH

Considering this gobshite supports women staying in abusive marriages, I think he's made his position on "grown man pummeling a woman" fairly clear

I feel the California accent has a bit of a twang to it. Stoner diphthongs

But dude

I feel the California accent has a bit of a twang to it

"on the streets of baykersfeeld!"

huh

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is likely no longer the favorite to be Harris' VP nominee after his involvement in a sexual harassment coverup has come to a head.https://t.co/vV6wojztVH

if true, that's a relief

VP vetting is described as the most thorough colonoscopy you'll ever receive

this would explain the event cancellations

Just saying:

Of course part of me would be "Do you mind if I use this an excuse to get out of square dancing, one of the more obnoxious things Henry Ford foisted on the country?"

it's not high school football season

2 county fairs is a lot of hot dogs, and following that up with square dancing is so wrong you'd have to imagine walz's body would rebel

The Football Industrial Complex has dictated that August games are urgent and key.

Ha, looks like the post sharing that was deleted. But we must dare to dream.

let's be honest, walz's body appears to be made of square dancing and hot dogs

I don’t know what to believe anymore. She probably chose The Rock.

Who knew that all it took to unite this message board was a former high school teacher with a corny-but-chill Midwest-dad aura? Damn, please make this happen, Kamala!

The Hill is still showing a pic of Newsom as a possible pic which is fucking delusional

i'm sure he was going to the washington county fair, i'm taking the kiddo these this weekend

I think the remaining contenders all have to go to DC on Saturday to sit down with Team Harris.

What's funny is there are at least two of those just among Democratic governors, but Tony Evers isn't the right man for VP

Harris moved to Montreal when she was 12

Fun fact: friends of mine were in her grade at Westmount High, and my mom met hers at the Jewish General where they both worked.

Btw she was super-gregarious and adored by all the “tribes” in high school.

okay, okay

even the wastoids, dweebies, and dickheads?

sorry about the quadruple post!! worst case scenario of something i was half-embarrassed to post even once but then something went awry and it posted four times, as though to make me regret it forever.

If Walz is elected VP will Alan Sparhawk play an inaugural ball?

we can hope

xp good post collardio gelatinous!

even the wastoids, dweebies, and dickheads?

ok i'm prone to hyperbole

so speaking of (american) football, is KH going to hold a combine of some sort where she'll be clocking Shapiro, Walz and Co's 40-yard dash and having them bench press? This is what I keep picturing.

Gladiator pit. Last VP candidate standing gets the nod.

I think the remaining contenders all have to go to DC on Saturday to sit down with Team Harris.

Funny way to spell "fight to the death"

Lil xp

Next Monday she's taking them all to Red Lobster for Endless Shrimp, and the last one to tap out gets the VP slot

Congratulations Gov Walz

shapiro can't have shrimp

wild that vance is still on twitter doing gender science after all the negative publicity since he was selected youd think hed give it a rest for a minute try to figure out how to not make everyone hate him

yeah but it showcases Harris' deep ties to Algeria's womens boxing

I think I hate Vance more than Trump.

he's looking like the least popular VP pick since Eagleton in '72

kind of kicking myself for not going to the fundraiser one of my former workplaces had for Harris years ago when she was running for AG (she and the founder's then-wife knew each other). Instead I got to meet Tim Kaine when he wandered through one day which was anticlimactic (oh I did meet Jesse Jackson there once also which was cooler).

Harris' Berkeley childhood apartment is not super far from my house. I walked by there a lot when Biden/Harris won in 2019. It's a preschool/daycare now. They had lots of signs up saying "Please don't ring the doorbell".

Whoa I just remembered I met Tim Kaine
