Next, Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris needs to carefully choose her running mate. Still, on the plus side, anyone she chooses will be a far, far better candidate than the Republicult's™ train wreck of a VP pick.

I suspect she'll pick Josh Shapiro solely for the swing state win in PA, which the dems need to win this November. It kinda sucks since he's a huge vocal supporter of Israel (no surprise there) but I don't think it matters too much since the number of US politicians who don't deepthroat Israel are in the single digits.

I can't wait until this election is over so I can stop aligning myself with the democrats. As much as I detest the oil zombie coalition, the prospect of Trump 2: Electrical Boogaloo being a possible future stresses me the fuck out. It's been 8 years; I think it's safe to say we're all sick of him at this point.

I'm a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I'm hoping she doesn't pick Josh Shapiro as her running mate. But, of course, Kamala Harris' VP choice is not up to either one of us.

My reasoning is that I don't believe she actually needs Josh Shapiro to win the state. I'm just not seeing much enthusiasm for TSF from the MAGAts in my area, and I live in a MAGAt rich environment. The TSF yard signs, flags, and bumper stickers are really few and far between this year. And, while my state recently voted in both a Jewish governor, and a Jewish US senator, I have no confidence that most of the rest of the country will be enthusiastic about doing so. In my opinion, misogyny, bigotry, and antisemitism are not bugs of the Republicult™, they're features.

Ok that's interesting, outside of the US its portrayed as a very united front in support, with people crying out for the US to put pressure on Israel to kerb its homicidal instincts.

I don't believe US voters are monolithic in their support of Israel. But, I do believe a substantial portion of our support comes from southern, rural, Christian Evangelicals. The majority of them vote Republican, and I also believe it's ironic that a substantial percentage of those southern, rural, Christian Evangelicals are actually antisemitic. Many of them 'support' Israel because they want to hasten the coming of their prophesied Apocalypse, and its accompanying Rapture. But, that's another long, strange story in itself.

A very serious problem for non-Jewish politicians in the US is that there are influential Jewish people here who will not hesitate to brand anyone as 'antisemitic' if they so much as dare to utter even the slightest criticism of the government of Israel. And, that branding is usually a political career killer.

Actually, this recent genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza is the first time I'm seeing any significant, public pushback against the actions of the government of Israel. Now, there are, of course, the predictable attempts at antisemitic branding, but this time Netanyahu and his cohorts went way, way too far. It's simply not possible to justify their intentionally, murderous actions as being in any way a reasonable response to the actions of Hamas. 

[Group of Democratic lawmakers skip Netanyahu's address in Congress]

I mean who aren't independents, the Democrats for instance, as they are in power.

We have 100 senators, and 435 congresspeople in the USA. I forgot there were lists available of the people who boycotted Netanyahu's recent address to Congress. Now, not all of them are known to me. There are, however, quite a few Democrats on these lists who are heavy hitters. Here's what I found:

List of Democrats Skipping Netanyahu's Speech

I mean who aren't independents, the Democrats for instance, as they are in power.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, held up a 'war criminal' sign during Netanyahu's recent address to the joint session of Congress.

Congressman Jerry Nadler is a Democrat from New York, New York.

[Bernie Sanders condemns speech to Congress by 'war criminal' Netanyahu]

Have any sitting US politicians spoken out about Israels systematic murder of innocents in the west bank? I haven't seem any.

Yes, several have done so. The most notable is Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.

Here's an article from your own The Guardian describing his position:

"Bernie Sanders condemns speech to Congress by 'war criminal' Netanyahu"

As per this article:

"The Vermont senator Bernie Sanders has condemned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming address to the US Congress, calling him a "war criminal" presiding over a "rightwing extremist government".

Sanders delivered his remarks on the Senate floor on Tuesday as Congress expects Netanyahu to give a speech to Congress on Wednesday afternoon. The speech comes after an underwhelming arrival to the US, just after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from November's elections.

"Tomorrow will be unique in bringing Prime Minister Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress," said Sanders on Tuesday. "It will be the first time in American history that a war criminal has been given that honor."

Sanders said of Netanyahu: "He should not be welcome in the United States Congress."

Several Democratic lawmakers were planning to boycott the speech on Wednesday."

And, further along in this article:

"Representative Jerry Nadler of New York said he would attend Wednesday's speech, but still lashed out against the Israeli prime minister, calling him the "worst leader in Jewish history".

"Tomorrow's address is the next step in a long line of manipulative bad-faith efforts by Republicans to further politicize the US-Israel relationship for partisan gain and is a cynical stunt by Netanyahu aimed at aiding his own desperate political standing at home," said Nadler."

And, for what it's worth, Bernie Sanders and Jerry Nadler both happen to be Jewish.

[WH Spox Flames GOP Over Its 'Stop Being Racist' Meeting]

This article places a spotlight on exactly who the members of the Republicult™ really are:

"WH Spox Flames GOP Over Its 'Stop Being Racist' Meeting"

"In a closed-door meeting this week, party leaders in the House had to ask Republican lawmakers to refrain from making comments about Vice President Kamala Harris' race and gender."

As per this article:

"White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointed out on Thursday that it speaks volumes that Republican congressional leaders had to admonish members to refrain from "being racist" and sexist towards Vice President Kamala Harris.
 
Asked about a Politico report about a closed-door meeting on Tuesday morning in which party leaders begged lawmakers to stop attacking Harris on the basis of identity, Jean-Pierre replied, "When you have the Speaker of the House [Mike Johnson]... set up a meeting to tell Republican leaders to stop being racist, to stop being misogynist, to stop being sexist, I think that says a lot that they have to be told to not do that.

"But more broadly," she continued, "I think it's—I think it's desperate. I think it's disgusting and I think it's a dog whistle. And we should not forget that she is the vice president of the United States. She's the vice president of the United States. She should get that respect.""

It's inexcusable that this is the USA in the 21st century.

[MTG's boyfriend says 'estrogen loaded' all-woman ticket would be 'scary' and dangerous']

The title of this article made me smile:

"MTG's boyfriend says 'estrogen loaded' all-woman ticket would be 'scary' and dangerous'"

As per this article:

"Right-wing correspondent Brian Glenn, the boyfriend of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), is worried that Democrats could put only women candidates on an "estrogen-loaded" presidential ticket that would be "dangerous" for the country.

While speaking to Real America's Voice earlier this week, Glenn speculated about who Democrats could choose to run against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance."

I really hate to make excuses for an obvious cult member. But, given that this guy is, apparently, willingly dating Drama Queen Greene, I can kind of understand why he might feel the way he does.

[Lara Trump Whines: How Dare Dems Label Trump As 'Convicted Felon'!]

I had a good laugh over this one:

"Lara Trump Whines: How Dare Dems Label Trump As 'Convicted Felon'!"

"Dear RNC, Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies."

As per this article:

"Lara Trump, the nepotism appointment to the RNC, complained to Fox News that the Kamala Harris campaign is labeling her father-in-law a convicted felon."

Here's the link to this article:      Whining over Convicted Felon Labeled Convicted Felon

I wonder if Lara Trump believes there are electoral votes to be won for the Republicult™ in the great state of Denial.

Well, so far, so good! A substantial portion of the Democratic Party has already coalesced around VPOTUS Kamala Harris, TSF's campaign has been caught flat footed, the mainstream media's coverage of TSF's campaign is mostly negative, and Harris has quickly overtaken her much older opponent's recent momentum. But, I suspect the Democratic Party's palace intrigues are not completely over just yet.

Next, Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris needs to carefully choose her running mate. Still, on the plus side, anyone she chooses will be a far, far better candidate than the Republicult's™ train wreck of a VP pick.

[MTG says prison 'would lead to the murder' of Trump in freak out over felony sentencing]

I found this latest performance from Drama Queen Greene to be especially entertaining:

"MTG says prison 'would lead to the murder' of Trump in freak out over felony sentencing"

As per this article:

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) expressed alarm this week that former President Donald Trump could be murdered if he is sentenced to prison after a conviction on 34 felony felony counts in New York.

At Tuesday's House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Greene slammed Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) over a bill that would strip the former president of his Secret Service protection if he was sentenced to prison."

Here's the link to this article:      MTG Concerned Over TSF's Safety in Prison

Now, the Republicult™ has always claimed to be the party of fiscal responsibility. So, I'm shocked, shocked to find this sudden about-face on an issue of obvious fiscal importance! So, I ask you, what truly fiscally responsible person would not take immediate action to reduce the totally redundant, unnecessary workload on the resource limited, overstretched Secret Service, and reduce the already exorbitant tax burden on every single, patriotic 'Merican citizen?! Seriously, I, for one, am not seeing any downside to stripping a former president of Secret Service protection if he/she is sentenced to prison, as punishment for the felonies he/she has been found guilty of committing.

Have a Marvelous Maybe Day in YOLD 3190!

Ooooooooooh, the heartbreak! Woe to democracy!

As per this article:

"Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) on Monday said he would not consider serving as Vice President Harris's running mate, arguing it is time for a "new generation" following President Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 race."

So, who you gonna believe Discordians, the FBI, or RAW?

So, what happens next?

I really don't know. I hope the Democratic Party rallies around VPOTUS Kamala Harris. But, I have no insights into the party's recent palace intrigues.

[Republicans Are Literally Treating Trump Like He's the Pope at Convention]

Okay, who gave TSF a Discordian Pope Card? Come on now, speak up! Now, I know handing out Pope Cards is a sacred act, duty, and part of our Erisian Evangelical Mission™; well ... at least I think it is. But, this has gone way too far, and it just isn't funny any more!

"Republicans Are Literally Treating Trump Like He's the Pope at Convention"

"Pope Donald I is hardly a Biblical scholar, but his grip over his followers is definitely infallible."

As per this article:

We were given fair warning that Donald Trump's relationship to God had strengthened (even more) after the attempted assassination on Saturday. Shortly after the shooting in Milwaukee he posted on Truth Social, "It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening."

But no-one could have been prepared for the former president attracting Pope-like devotion as he administered to the congregation, I mean audience, at the RNC convention this week.

A CNN reporter noted on Tuesday night that the behavior of the audience at the RNC was more akin to a Catholic mass. The audience-turned-congregation was now taking a cue from the priest, in this case Trump, he reported. As the ex-president grants speakers at the podium a standing ovation, his flock, and also, pointedly, his disciples in the VIP seating area, quickly follow suit.

John 13:15: Jesus says, "I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."

So, come on now, fess up! It had to be a misguided Discordian who instigated this outrageous, sacrilegious abomination!
