Thank you for sharing the video. Her response was perfect! Michelle ObamaMichelle Obama @michelleobama
I was touched to see Gus Walz’s joy when his dad Tim_Walz took the stage last night. Thankful for you showing us all what real love looks like, Gus.
Let’s be a nation that embraces this kind of warmth and vulnerability, instead of making fun or mocking it. We could all use some of Gus’s example in our own lives. |

Why Trump is unlikely to be prosecuted under the Logan ActMatt Keeley, The New Civil Rights Movement..comertary August 21, 2024 11:18AM ET After reports that former President Donald Trump pressured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reject a ceasefire deal, some have called for him to be prosecuted under the Logan Act. But it's unlikely to actually happen. On Tuesday afternoon, lawyer and CNN contributor Steve Vladeck posted on X, "Stop trying to make the Logan Act happen. (Because it’s unconstitutionally vague and an unconstitutionally overbroad content-based restriction on speech that’s never been successfully used to prosecute anyone.)" www.rawstory.com/trump-logan-act/

12 times the former guy weaponized his justice department against political enemies www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYnv4eIUoNw&t=2swww.justsecurity.org/98703/chronology-trump-justice-department/Conclusion: “Weaponization,” Real and Imagined
When Trump’s allies accuse the Justice Department of “weaponization,” they generally are not referring to the examples during his presidency. Our list does not even include Trump’s pressure on the Justice Department to stop criminal investigations into himself or his associates, nor does it include pressure on U.S. attorneys that led to at least three ousters: two in the Southern District of New York and one in the Northern District of Georgia.
This deeper understanding of the past events is not simply about Trump himself. It is also a lesson in how political leaders then and now choose to overlook or excuse it. How some of the best fact checkers don’t account for it. And how American institutions have not fully reckoned with it. |

Fat Elvis isn't even trying to win votes. He's just going to claim he won and blame Democrats for cheating. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-2-2024In an interview with right-wing host Mark Levin on the Fox News Channel last night, Trump complained about the new grand jury indictment of him for trying to steal the 2020 presidential election. “Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it,” he asked.
In fact, no one has a right to interfere with a presidential election. Several federal laws prohibit such interference. Legal analyst Joyce White Vance added: “This is the banality of evil right here—Trump asserting he can override the will of the voters to claim victory in an election he lost. And, he will do it again. We must vote against him in overwhelming numbers.”
Former president Trump is approaching the election of 2024 the way southern white supremacists approached elections from 1876 to 1964. He has made it very clear he is not trying to win the votes of a majority of Americans. He and his loyalists are trying to intimidate his opponents to keep them from voting while egging on his supporters to commit violence. They are bringing the tactics of the reactionary southern Democrats after the Civil War forward to the present day in an attempt to impose the same sort of minority rule on the nation as a whole.
Trump has made it clear he is not trying to win the popular vote. When his primary challenger Nikki Haley dropped out of the race in March, Trump’s team made no effort to win over her voters; it was President Joe Biden’s reelection team that reached out to them.
A few days later, when Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump and his loyalist Michael Whatley took over the Republican National Committee, they killed the plans of former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel to open 40 satellite campaign offices across ten battleground states. As The Dispatch noted, that meant very little ground game: doors knocked on, phone calls made, or volunteers organized. The new leadership of the RNC also fired 40 out of 60 employees whose job was field organizing.
Trump was clear what he was doing: rather than worrying about attracting voters, he intended to play out the game of the Big Lie that he had won the 2020 presidential election.
Since the 2020 election, at least 28 states have passed laws making it harder to vote in 2024. Whatley was a chief proponent of the Big Lie that justified those laws, and Trump put him in place, saying he wanted the RNC to prioritize “election integrity” efforts. The campaign has focused on lawsuits to make it harder to vote and to put their own loyalists into positions where they might be able to affect the certification of the 2024 vote. As Peter Nicholas reported at NBC News yesterday, Republicans have filed dozens of lawsuits that seemed designed not only to game the system, but also to convince supporters that the election is rigged against Trump. |

How do we live in a world where books in libraries are removed or banned, history is whitewashed, abortion is banned but there are very few regulations on guns? abortion & gun regulations Nick Jack Pappas @pappiness When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims. If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline. If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state. Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws. |

Probably. I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that no matter what that chucklehead says or does, Trumpers seem to approve. They remind me of zombies at this point. 🤦♀️ How can anyone be so gullible? |

Have you guys heard the new conservative rallying cry yet? Oy. 😖 Jeff Clark-remember him? He was going to be Trump’s AG, and was planning ways to let Trump “win” in 2020. He is back just in time for THIS election. x.com/jeffclarkus/status/1832546666894750151?s=61&t=M1OfLFf7y0WKg7wrxjM59gThe term is “lawfare.” “Lawfare has emerged as a buzzword in politics, a shorter, catchier phrase — or perhaps a euphemism — for a practice that has been described as “weaponization of the law” in order to hobble or eliminate a political opponent. The legal cases against former President Donald Trump, and the charges brought against Hunter Biden, are the reasons that this formerly niche term is now in the running for 2024′s word of the year.” Yeah, why didn’t the Democrats allow Trump to crime in peace? Why are they so judgy? |

Speaking of food and spices... FOX ran off the rails this morning. They don't mock, they state their opinion! Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-a are allowed. How about the bakery who refuses service to a gay couple? youtu.be/LoZ6wBNeMC8?si=8vYkc6j-ugGEEGvKCo-host Rachel Campos-Duffy called Penzeys "the meanest spice shop in America." "They chose the comfiest, coziest place she could conceivably go, where all of the—the owners and the staff are 100 percent libs who hate Trump," co-host Pete Hegseth agreed. "And they not only believe that privately, to your point, Will, they say it publicly." |

Even more unbelievably, I had a student (in my AP class 😳) who insisted we had litter boxes in our own school. I asked her if she had ever seen one. She hadn't and neither had any of her friends and classmates. I assured her I monitored several bathrooms every day as part of my duty and they were, and always have been, free of litter boxes. However, her parents told her it was true, so she really struggled with believing me. I was absolutely stunned. This will shock no one, but guess where she ended up going to college? Yup. Liberty. |

Now he's done it....😊 JD Vance all alone in a luxury hotel pool in San Diego swimming with his shirt on .. JD Vance trying to beat the heat down in sunny San Diego ... jumping in a swimming pool -- but, don't think you're getting a glimpse at his bare torso. The Republican VP candidate went for a dip at The Lodge at Torrey Pines Saturday ... a luxury resort in La Jolla -- hopping in the pool with his shirt still on. Check out the pic (in article)... JDV's sitting pretty still in the pool -- deep in thought it looks like, water up to his collar bone. We're told he was under the watchful eye of two United States Secret Service agents, and he had the pool all to himself. www.tmz.com/2024/09/07/jd-vance-swimming-shirt-la-jolla-hotel/ |

Maybe a rash guard? My dh wears a black short sleeve rash guard when in the pool. It could easily look like a t-shirt.
JD Vance is a dangerous dimwit, but I think it’s silly to tear apart his swimwear.

I saw that too and think that’s dumb to criticize him for wearing a shirt. So he doesn’t want to get a sunburn no big deal. There are plenty of other things to criticize him for. Plenty wear rash guards. This is too similar to the tan suit or flip flops.

Turn about is fair play. If this were Tim Walz in a swimming pool it would be the lead story on Fox. Going high went they went low last time didn't work. This time I say we get them at their own game. Start calling out all the weird stuff they do. Make Vance and his guyliner a talking point. Ask what he is hiding under his swim shirt. |
