He should blame whoever scheduled the rally at that location … or whoever allowed someone to posses the weapons. Or god? God allowed the shooter to get off 8 rounds before the Secret Service stopped him.
If god was Don’s armor, why kill an innocent fire fighter in the process? You think they would have saved everyone.
I can understand donations from corporations who benefit from policies and the rich who can get direct access to key access.
But it boggles me how small, individual donors have the money to dump into this. Even for a $20, you could have gotten a very nice lunch for that.
Ever notice those businesses who always keep a "help wanted" sign out front? That's because the boss is a jerk.

When you blame someone and point fingers at someone, three fingers point back at you.
Donald Trump is now calling Kamala Harris, "Lying Kamala!"
Ironic isn't it? I guess all the lies he's told now and over the years are perfectly acceptable. If you didn't know it already, now you can kind of figure it out.
What a big douche bag he is.

This is alarming. Read between the lines of Rachel's commentary.
Personally, I'm convinced that if Trump loses in November, he'd once again claim the election was rigged and would instruct his cohorts nationally
to not certify their respective county and/or statewide election results. If this tactic were to fail, it would then set the stage for Trump to once again,
out of desperation, unleash his MAGA mob of maggots onto the capital to forcibly take over the government, which if successful, would effectively
end democracy in the US.

Trump wants to revisit Butler. (Why? I’ve been there many times and would never intentionally go back.) You know security will be tighter. Same goes for the election certification. The Capitol will be defended this time around.
The election needs to be a landslide. Do what the Senate failed to do in 2021 - end Trumpism.
Meanwhile … Vance dominates the news cycles. Is it time for Trump to take a mulligan?

As ill-equipped as Sarah Palin, but not as hot!

I've been saying from the start that this was a bad move for him. Vance is so slippery he could live on a BP oil platform. You don't pick the embodiment of the most Right of your base when you already have that base wrapped up. Now he's risking losing the moderates. As far as choosing a black veep, sounds good but it's too shallow and transparent...and not in a helpful way for him. It means Blacks are gonna see this as a bullshit move...and rightfully so. Won't work there. Women won't even touch J.D. with a twenty-foot Diebold. Keeping Vance means teetering with the middle, and if Harris stays a calm course, it might mean losing votes to the cat lady.

One of the main news sources, CNN, MSNBC, etc. had a female commentator ask Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) if the Republicans lose the Presidency in November would he be able to accept the results. He couldn't give the interviewer a straight answer. Look it up.

On the plus side, if he were to lose, I think even the GOP will never put him up as their nominee again and we can finally be rid of his political asperations.

He would be 82 in 2028 and ready for a fourth run at the Presidency. William Jennings Bryan was a 3-time nominee (and loser). Trump could try to tie his record for losses.
What happens when Trump is done? Does the movement continue or does it fizzle? Or, has it emboldened someone to go further?
In my opinion, Donald J. Trump is Benito Mussolini 2.0. At one time, Mussolini supported voting and Democracy. Once he gained more power, he distained Democratic values. Hence, "you won't have to vote" quote from Trump recently. Back in the 1930s, lots of people in Germany supported their "leader" Adolph Hitler. Same with Benito Mussolini in Italy. Trump wants a family dynasty rule just like they have in The People's Republic of Korea. Some folks like a "strong man" in power. History repeats, just the faces change.
I wonder if even he would want to risk a third consecutive loss. It's hard to tell with him.
But as to what happens next, I'd say there were promising upstarts in the nomination process who could be a better representation of the party.
It's certainly a pattern, along with the adage that power corrupts people.
The problem is that these people can't do it alone - there have to be followers who enable such actions. Post-WWI Germans were dealing with being shit on by the world, and Hitler got them back on the world stage. So you can't blame them. But tump? I fail to see what he did to gain the cult-following of the GOP in this current run. He beat clinton when everyone looked at him and the GOP as a joke, so I can give him that for his first run. But the support he's getting for this third campaign just boggles the mind.

Donald Trump has been corrupt since the beginning of time. He uses his attorneys to get him out of things. Because he does that, he's never been held accountable to anyone. Along with being a narcissist, he'll never take responsibility for issues either. Starting with Roy Cohn, then Michael Cohen, then Rudy Giuliani, then John Eastman, etc. Most on this list are attorneys who have been disbarred or who are about to be disbarred. He uses them until they are no longer useful to him.

So, nobody outside of Minnesota ever heard of this Tim Walz. So it comes as no surprise that the GOP is already digging. The latest is his response as governor after the George Floyd police brutality. Anyway, here're a few factoids to get you acquainted with him:

I admit I never heard of him. He ain't Hubert Humphrey, or Walter Mondale for that matter. Maybe he's better. Who knows?

He was on Fox News -- he shut down all their talking points. See the Jack Cocchiarella video I put up in the Trump Legacy thread a few days ago. (From 9:19 to 10:30 in the video...) This guy Tim Walz sounds brilliant. He's a great choice.
You know your politics. Probably the most well known Minnesota politicians next to Jesse Ventura.

Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar … and bonus points for knowing Ernest Lundeen.
