Political discussions about everything

So now we know what one nutjob thinks of Kamala.

Now, what are "Republicans for Harris" saying about Trump?

"Former US Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-FL) replied to the announcement via X, writing: "There is nothing 'conservative' about Donald Trump. Conservatives believe in the Constitution, not a 'man’s' ego. Endorsing American democracy and the future today, and leaving the past in the dust.I’m endorsing @KamalaHarris"

"Joe Walsh replied to Kinzinger's post, adding: "14yrs ago, @AdamKinzinger & I were 2 conservative Republicans elected to Congress. 14yrs later, Adam & I are 2 conservatives endorsing Kamala Harris. What happened? The GOP became an authoritarian-embracing cult. Republicans, join us. You’re better than Trump.

"Per the report, ex-Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement, "I encourage other Trump administration officials who saw the tyrant we worked for in office to speak out and stand with Kamala Harris this November to keep integrity in the White House and ensure democracy for our country."

"Already signing on as [Harris] supporters: former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (the 2016 Libertarian nominee for vice president who then challenged Trump in the 2020 Republican primary), former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, Kinzinger, former Virginia Rep. Denver Riggleman, former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh (who also challenged Trump in the 2020 primary) and former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham."-Alternet

Thus spake a bunch of conservative Republicans. So who will johnforbes listen to? Kennedy, or a bunch of conservative Republicans?

And the number of Harris Republicans is growing, right, silly... :O

Trump: I'll debate any place any time any where.

Harris shows up.....

Trump: OH SHIT!!!

Now I hear Trump is attempting to weasel out of his commitment to debate on ABC. Apparently, among other reasons, his lame excuse is that he's suing ABC. And now Trump wants to go to the friendly confines of Hoax News.

Come on Donnie....with your self proclaimed high IQ, this debate should be an iron clad cinch.
#137685
TRUMP uses teleprompters as well, dimwit. He was using them the day of the assassination attempt.
Are you saying that shows he's unfit for office? :laugh:

I'm still waiting for you clowns to tell us Trump is too old to run for President. Remember four years ago you partisan hacks all said Biden was too old to run for President, and now Trump is older than Biden was when you said Biden was too old to run.

If Trump's glaring mental failings aren't enough to convince you, at least have the consistency to hold Trump to your own professed standards regarding age.
#137687
Trump was shot, then raised his fist in defiance.

Nobody is afraid of debating pea-brain Kamala.

Democrats just need to be certain Kamala (who got zero primary votes) is their candidate.

They would like to ditch Walz already, but that would make them look even more indecisive...
#137689
Nobody wants to ditch Walz, dummy. You made it up. The Democrats are thrilled with him.

It is far more likely that Vance gets dumped by Trump than Walz getting dumped by Harris.

And why do you keep droning on about how Harris didn't get a single primary vote, johnny. First of all, why would you even care how Democrats pick their candidates? The party can pick whomever they choose according to whatever rules they choose, just like the Republicans do.

But the fact is that Harris got EXACTLY as many primary votes as Biden got. She was always on the ticket with him.

Why do you keep up with that idiotic talking point from your handlers? First you insist that Biden shouldn't be running for President because he's too old and too senile and too frail and blah, blah, blah, blah.... Now you;re here insisting that he SHOULD be running for President. It is just more of your disingenuous hypocritical bullshit that has nothing to do with reality.
#137694
Dimwit, one needn't 'seek' the presidential nomination in order to receive votes to run for president. Apparently you have never heard of a "write-in vote."

However, every one of those delegates to the Democratic convention has offered their votes to Harris. There's nothing anyone not a delegate to the convention can do about it. And besides, nobody cares. And the absolutely don't care what a hypocritical partisan asshole like you thinks about it.

So why do you care who they vote for, dimwit? You got your wish and Biden isn't running. And now, how the Democrats run their convention is of no interest to you at all. They could all vote for Snidely Whiplash at the last minute and that's who their candidate would be.

Wait, Snidely's already running as the Republican VP candidate. Never mind...
#137696
Let us pause to ponder Aristotle's law of identity.

A is A.

Voting is, well, voting.

A delegate committed to voting for Biden offering to help nominate Kamala, that is something different from voting.

Now, let us pause another moment to honor the efforts Mr Forbes has made to improve Clown's education.

Let us pause to ponder the gross ignorance of johnforbes about the simplest of Aristotelian concepts of identity.

johnforbes regurgitates by rote, without any understanding, the concept of "A is A"

At the same time, he supports the idea that a fair election without any evidence whatsoever of widespread election fraud is equivalent to an election that was stolen. "A is not A" to johnforbes. What a dunderhead.

In other words, in an election that both Democrat and Republican election officials, as well as 62 court cases and partisan recounts, plus the right wing Supreme Court agreed was fair is somehow "stolen by fraud" to johnforbes. That's how little he grasps the concept of "A is A" With his malleable cultist mind he believes "A is not A" is what Aristotle was talking about. Obviously it isn't.

Also, political parties can pick their candidates however they choose. That we tend to go with the guy most people vote for in primaries is merely a practical convention. There was no real choice offered in the primaries. There are only one or two guys chosen by the party to make it look like voters have some choice. The guy the party wanted to run was always going to be the nominee.

But when the guy with the primary votes drops out after he caught COVID just days before ballot filing deadlines in 50 states, there must be some way that a political party can still field a candidate. Otherwise, undemocratic turds like johnforbes are here suggesting that his candidate should run unopposed in order for the election to be legal. That's what Republicans consider democracy and a fair election. They aspire to be a banana republic where just one candidate (theirs) is on the ballot and he somehow garners 90% of the vote in a landslide. (Why there are 10% of voters unaccounted for is just one of those mysteries. It's supposed to lend the election a certain air of legitimacy I guess.)

But Trump and johnforbes are now pretending that there could be something unconstitutional or illegal about a political party fielding a candidate of their choice. That's just stupid. Parties can run whomever they like, regardless of who voted or didn't vote. (Only 25%-35% of voters even vote in most primaries. Primaries are merely an advisory practice by parties to gather information about who might be the best person to run in the general election. Some political parties don't even have primaries to choose their candidates. And that isn't unconstitutional. Why would johnforbes and Trump bother to raise such a phony issue as though it were real? Hmmm...think about it.)

Now, let us pause another moment to honor the efforts Clownkicker has made to improve john'ignoramus'forbes' philosophy 'education'.
#137713
^^^^^^^ And there it is. johnforbes admits that he's as gay as Plato was, and that he carries on physical relationships with his male teachers.

It's what we've been telling everyone about johnforbes for years, and now he finally admits to it.

"Because Mr Forbes is identifying this week as a black female..."-johnflubs

Yes, johnny, we all know. It happens every time you take your drag persona to the stage. (Weekly, at least)

You remember, it came out weeks ago that your stage name is Queen Gertrude, whose catchphrase is "The Lady doth protest too much, methinks" as you give the audience a naughty wink.
#137739
johnny, no one has ever condemned you for your drag queen stage persona. Has anyone here ridiculed your female alter ego? No. (Though the blackface makeup is a bit questionable. Maybe reconsider how deep your blackness goes?)

I'm just surprised that you're finally owning up to her publicly.

Feels good to stop hiding in the shadows and proudly being who you really are inside, doesn't it. You go, girl!
#137744
Mr Forbes is only identifying as a minority female named Jonette Forbes long enough to obtain an affirmative action appointment as DEI Chief of this fine forum.

Once Mr Forbes has secured that appoinment, he shall return to being his typical charming self -- tall, handsome, fit, etc.

Who has more charisma, Cary Grant at his peak or the fabulous Forbes who is always at this peak?

...and Melania won't help make things safe either:

"Donald Trump’s former White House press secretary took the stage at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night and shared the brutal one-word message from Melania in the wake of the January 6 insurrection that caused her to quit.

"Stephanie Grisham, who held the role from July 2019 to April 2020 before becoming the first lady’s communications director and chief of staff, is one of several Republican figures invited to the convention in Chicago to denounce the “extremism” of the former president and his campaign.

"On Tuesday night, as she endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris for president, Grisham shared the brief text exchange, which finally convinced her to leave the post as she “couldn’t be part of the insanity any longer.”

"“On Jan. 6, I asked Melania if we can at least tweet that ‘while peaceful protest is the right of every American, there’s no place for lawlessness or violence,” Grisham, with the apparent text shown on screens behind her, said.

Melania simply responds: “no.”"-The Independant


As First Lady she does not condemn political violence! Unbelievable.
#137770
Would anyone else care to hear johnforbes give the pro-Republican side of running a convicted felon and a former President who sat silent for three hours doing nothing but watching TV while the Capitol and the Capitol Police were being attacked before taking any action whatsoever?

Come on, johnny, let's hear how ANYONE can support such a thing. Please tell us where PBS was wrong about anything they said.
You're on...you unAmerican partisan douchebag.

"His Lordship should explain why Pelosi said that she deserved blame for not calling in 10,000 Guardsmen..."-johnfibs

Pelosi NEVER said "that she deserved blame for not calling in 10,000 Guardsmen..." You made it up as you make up everything you post.
She said she had "responsibility" for not having "any accountability" in place on the off-chance that Trump would send a riotous mob to the Capitol and that it was too late to do anything once the mob was attacking. Her only option at that point was to contact the Capitol Police---who were already aware of the problem and were dealing with Trump's mob.

Apparently it is johnforbes' position that Pelosi should have assumed that Trump would send a mod to the Capitol to riot, and thus they should have prepared for such an eventuality.

But for some reason Dishonestjohn still didn't offer the pro-Republican side of running a 34-time-convicted felon for President. It's baffling.
You seem to have overlooked that aspect of your partisan bullshit about PBS, johnny. Go ahead, since PBS won't do it (according to you) then tell us the Republican side of it all. Like why did it take Trump over three hours to turn off the TV and do something to stop his violent supporters? And why do Republicans think it is good to run a convicted felon for President? (I admit that PBS wouldn't cover such an absurd assertion in a positive light. It's up to you to enlighten us all.)
#137788
Pelosi indeed admitted that she deserved blame for the chaos that day.

Granted, Pelosi's dentures are as ill-fitting as Clown's, and thus she slurs....

But then Clown's liver is also as hard as the typical hockey puck.

"Granted, Pelosi's dentures are as ill-fitting as Clown's, and thus she slurs...."-johflubs

You mean the way Trump's dentures cause him to slur his words?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gza7H3zG4g8

Unbelievable...johnforbes thinks occasional slurred speech and dentures disqualify everyone EXCEPT his candidate of choice.
But Trump has done it many times.
