On Monday, Donald Trump went down to Georgia 'cause he's looking for some souls to steal.
(Dave-El, please do NOT compare me to Donald Trump again. The Devil.)
He was stomping around Valdosta which was hit hard by Hurricane Helene and people had their hands full trying to clean up from that but Li'l Donnie could care less about that. He was all "Wah! Wah! Wah! Pay attention to ME!" and determined to show he cares about hurricane victims and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don't.
Li'l Donnie claimed that Georgia's Gov. Kemp could not get President Biden on the phone because Joe was sleeping.
Meanwhile, Kemp made a statement to the press that yes, he had indeed spoken with Biden whose first words to Kemp was "What do you need?" Kemp assured Biden that FEMA and other federal government resources were on the ground and getting the job done. Biden reiterated that if there was anything else the U.S. government can do, Kemp could call Biden directly.
Also Trump accused Biden and North Carolina's Gov. Cooper of colluding to keep federal aid resources out of counties that favor Donald Trump.
OK, Helene hit North Carolina's mountains on Friday and the resulting flooding impacted the area over the weekend as whole towns were swept away. Cooper and Biden had already signed off on orders to provide emergency assistance in advance of the storm but if that aid was slow to get to people by Monday, well, those floods also washed out bridges and roads making it hard to get to those western mountain counties.
(Which voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 and he's polling ahead there now.)
One resident in Asheville who finally got a charged up phone and a signal posted to TikTok that yes, both government and private agencies were moving in to provide much needed assistance but it's still early and it's slow going because of all the flooding.
In a time of crisis where over a 160 people are dead with the likelihood the death count will keep rising, all Trump can do is spread lies and sew descent.
God damn it to hell and back, this useless motherfucker must NOT be allowed back in the White House.
Working on trying to get him back there is his vice presidential running mate.
On the subject of the J D Vance/Tim Walz debate, well…
That could’ve gone better.
In advance of the debate, Walz admitted to being nervous and God bless ‘im, it showed.
We had instances of Walz staring wide eyed as if asking “Who am I? What am I doing here?” that echoed the look on Joe Biden’s face at his last debate and God knows we do not need reminding of that.
Meanwhile, Vance was… normal?
Look, we knew going in that Vance was not going to be the easy target his boss was but still, where was the weird dude who doesn’t know how to order donuts?
In terms of style over substance, I’ve got to give this to Vance over Walz.
In terms of substance…
Well, Vance was lying his ass off!
Did you know Donald Trump actually was responsible for saving the Affordable Care Act?
Wha…….?
Look, JD, failing to kill Obamacare is not the same as saving it.
Walz did land one solid blow near the end when he asked Vance point blank "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?" and Vance would NOT admit that.
He tried to turn the topic to some damn thing involving Kamala Harris censoring conservatives during the pandemic and I'm not sure what that was about. At one point in the debate, Vance argued that misinformation is protected by the first amendment.
So according to Vance, I can repeat that "J D Vance had sex with a sofa" and nothing bad will happen to me?
Hey, everybody! J D Vance once fucked a sofa!
Anyway...
Tim Walz made a salient point that the rights of women should not be determined by their geography. An American female citizen in say Texas should not have fewer rights than one in say Ohio.
Vance's response to party's role in curtailing abortion access is to say the Republican party hasn't done a good enough job communicating how they here to support family values etc etc etc.
While Walz made some good points, they were mostly lost to Vance's glib and polished persona and undone by Walz stammering over his responses and missing clear opportunities to strike back at Vance's falsehoods.
Is anyone going to stand up to Donald or JD and say "Kamala Harris was never the Border Czar and you need to stop lying about that!"
Tim Walz was, to be blunt, disappointing but I think he did no irreparable harm to Kamala Harris. It may help he seemed more genuine than Vance's practiced prattle.
One frequent attack Vance made on Harris' plans if she becomes President is that she was Vice-President for 4 years. Why didn't she do any of these things during that time?
As if Vice Presidents have that kind of power or autonomy.
Despite an assertion before the debate the CBS moderators would not be doing any fact checking and that would be up to Vance and Walz to check each other, one of the moderators did state that the Haitians do have legal status to be in Springfield OH.
Vance then said "I thought there was not going to be any fact checking?"
While Vance's polished performance may have added a thin veneer of respectability to the Trump/Vance ticket, I don't see it moving the needle towards Trump.
Not when Trump is still flailing away and raging like a petulant man child.
And it didn't help that Jack Smith was back, baby, with a fresh go around at Trump's illegal activities surrounding January 6th.
But as I wrote yesterday, I'm still scared this useless motherfucker will be allowed back in the White House.
