Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina has withdrawn from consideration for vice president.

Cooper was probably told that Harris was going in another direction. If Cooper would have done this when Harris was endorsed by Biden, withdrawing name from consideration would have been better.

Elmo suspended the White Dudes for Kamala on Xitter. Then restored it but no one could update or post. Now it's back.

Point of information here.

This meme is not going away.

There are reports that the Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear's security detail has been beefed up. He's one of the men still in consideration for VP Harris running mate. The other's are Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona along with Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.

"It will not end well for you".

Let’s be clear:

Whatever this announcement is, Trump isn’t going to be less of a dictator if he manages to make it back into the Oval.

He’s the same man who will enact a federal abortion ban, dismantle DEI programs, implement mass deportation, end birthright citizenship, enshrine Christian Nationalism, weaponize the DOJ, etc.

Trump doesn’t need Project 2025 to do these things…

TFG was invited to a live forum held by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) who are holding their convention in Chicago. Many felt he should not be invited at all but here we are. He was supposed to answer questions for an hour. He also demanded that a friendly black journalist be included on the panel and she was. What happened next was totally predictable.







This from his friendly journalist.

Harris Faulkner: Is JD Vance ready on Day One?

Trump: the choice of the VP makes no difference. You’re voting for the President. If you like me, I’m going to win. If you don’t like me, I’m not going to win.

Now to Trump: Vance’s latest statements about “childless cat ladies.” Do you agree with him?

Trump: He is very family oriented. You have to ask (Vance); that is his interpretation. But they want to give the illegal immigrants votes. People in this room will be losing their jobs…

Harris Faulkner asks him what’s your message today?

Trump: To stop people from coming into this country and to stop taking the black jobs.

Question to Trump: What’s a black job?

Trump: Anybody who has a job.

Trump: I want anybody running for president to take an aptitude and cognitive test.

Trump: I’d do the cognitive test with Kamala Harris. She failed her law exam so…she didn’t pass her bar exam and maybe she did pass it.

Trump: Inflation is a disaster and is destroying the black community. We have to bring down the cost of energy.

By the way, I was running against a man named Joe Biden. He had a bad debate. They said we will replace him. Our whole campaign was geared to him. Now we have to change.

No more questions for Trump. The Trump team advised no more questions.

I think he was there for 35 minutes.

I saw this gem yesterday.

When a man votes for a woman, he transitions into a woman.
If that is so, I really want to know what happens to us when we, for example, kiss them.

These guys are lunatics.

Last night I was listening to Rachel Maddow, and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! She said that Donald Trump told an audience last Friday “if they vote for him this time, it’s over, and they will never have to vote again… we’ll have it fixed so good.” And that is as alarming as it sounds! Let me repeat that. “You're never going to have to vote again, after you vote for me this one time.” (By the way, the day before that, he said “I don’t need your votes, I have so many votes!”)

He doesn’t understand that voting is a privilege for every American—to participate in electing our leaders. That’s how we decide what happens in our country, and he’s promising his followers he’ll end all that!
