Ron Brownstein: “No presidential nominee in decades has approached their convention with a greater opportunity to reshape their public image than Vice President Kamala Harris.” “Harris is the first nonincumbent since Hubert Humphrey in 1968 to claim either party’s presidential nomination without first enduring months of grueling primary contests. Because Harris did not experience the setbacks and triumphs that come from waging such a fight, public impressions of her are uncommonly shallow for a nominee on the convention’s eve, strategists in both parties agree.” “That gives Harris a chance to benefit more than usual from the Democratic gathering in Chicago later this month if she can flesh out her story in an engaging way—but also leaves more room for Republicans to define her in negative terms.” Said longtime Democratic strategist Robert Shrum: “We probably haven’t in modern times seen anybody emerge as the nominee who is less well known.

  • Trump Border Czar Tom Homan: Put U.S. Kids Born To Migrants In Halfway Houses
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 12/30/2024 - 10:16 AM

    Power-drunk Trump Border Czar Tom Homan claimed he can legally detain undocumented worker's babies born in the U. S. by putting them in halfway houses. Are these babies drug addicts? See, halfway houses sounds better than detainment centers or prisons. Last Thursday, General Zod told NewsNation that the Trump administration is considering putting US-born children of migrants into halfway houses as a form of shelter instead of what it actually is, imprisonment. HOMAN: As far as U.

  • Did Merrick Garland End Our Democracy?

    Why did Merrick Garland not get he had to act like his hair was on fire after the first attempted coup since the Civil War? Put aside legal considerations for a sec. Why didn't he immediately appoint Jack Smith, hold weekly press conferences giving scared Americans--many of whom were eventually tricked by Trump--updates on what happened & what he was doing (no, he didn't have to share case specifics, but after Comey & Barr's breach of protocol & GOP lies, don't tell me he couldn't share generalities narratives & what we all saw on tv--reinforcing that MAGA were traitors & seditionists). Garland could've shaped the true narrative vs Trump & MAGA, prosecuted those not protected by law or supposed immunity (Kash Patel?
