The minister of the church Trump's family attended was Norman Vincent Peale. Peale was the author of the book The Power of Positive Thinking. He was also one of the early national radio and TV evangelists along with Billy Graham, Oral Robert's, Fulton Sheen, etc. What Trump learned from Peale was "believe in yourself" which I believe Trump translated to Me First. That is his true faith, The Church of Trump.

How much time and $$$ did House Trumpublicans waste on this witch hunt? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/19/impeachment-report-house-republicans-joe-biden-hunter/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

Losing Carl Rove…

And who can forget 1996 and the Macarena. It’s gonna be a boring week

Say what you will Abbie and the gang knew how to party.

That should make for short rallies. His supporters should be out in time for the early bird special at Golden Corral

Even the music is boring...it sounds like hold music at a mortuary

Another conservative defection from the Orange One

Also looking at PA, MI, AZ, WI as a few other states that seem to have "truthers" and folks who believe in the "stolen election" bull**** sitting in prominent places on local election boards. I'd love to see a modern version of a landslide, but I tend to be pessimistic.

My gut response would be option B. I'm sure there could be challenges thru the court system but honestly in recent years the "neutral" branch of the government has become just as partisan as the other two branches. I'd love to see non partisan election officials again, especially since most voting systems have paper backups to what shows on the machines. But from what we saw in battleground areas in 2020 and what I expect in November I'm not holding my breath.

They know they can't win legitimately.

In the ESPN doc Donald acknowledges that he was out. He was beaten to the base. The first base coach also said he thought he was out.

Or maybe he just wants to see the new racetrack. That's the ticket

Meanwhile someone explain to me how companies will not pass along tariff cost to consumers.

If Biden had done this there would be non stop analysis from MSM

Bates misses an extra point. Too close for his range

It's not like Walz gave two weeks notice. From what I've read he put his retirement papers in several months before leaving. The Minnesota Guard had plenty of time to replace him.

Just tuning in. What's with the funky bats this weekend?

Interesting that MAGA "Christians" conveniently forget Ester, Ruth, Sarah, Mary mother of Jesus, Elizabeth, Martha, Mary Magdalene, etc. They may not have been elected leaders (Ester was a queen). But one could argue they received as much "grace" from the Creator that a Blowhard pretender from Queens

Really cool story. The Legend of Pinky Daras. Hopefully it's not paywalled. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5703670/2024/08/16/little-league-world-series-pinky-deras/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983&userId=213687

In many ways Trumpublicans are throw backs to the belief that women are only good for two things. Babies and housework. I'm old enough to remember when the only "viable" jobs for women were teaching, secretarial work and sales work in department stores. It wasn't that long ago that my wife, who was a reporter and radio news anchor, was told by a general manager of a prominent radio station "No woman will ever work morning drive" at his station. Management jobs were basically unheard of.

For some it was tuition and book money. Or enough to pay the rent. I remember days behind the Arby's slicer, smelling of french fry grease and Jomoca shakes at the end of a 9 hour shift. Took me 30 years to go near roast beef sandwich after those days.
