House GOP leaders urge members: Stop making race comments about Harris
Leadership warned lawmakers during a closed-door meeting to focus on the vice president’s record, not her race.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/23/gop-race-comments-harris-00170735

House Republican leaders told lawmakers to focus on criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’ record without reference to her race and gender, following caustic remarks from some Republicans attacking her on the basis of identity.

During a closed-door meeting Tuesday morning, chair of the House GOP campaign arm Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) and others issued the warning after a series of comments by their members that focused on Harris’ race as well as claims she is a “DEI” pick, according to two people in the room.

In the 48 hours since President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, Republican leaders have tried to train their criticism of the presumptive Democratic nominee on her handling of the border and her plan to skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress.

But several Republicans immediately took the criticism in a different direction. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said Monday that Harris was a “DEI vice president” and Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) over the weekend questioned if Democrats are sticking by her “because of her ethnic background.” If nominated, Harris would be the first Black and South Asian woman to be a major party nominee.

This should not be about personalities. It should be about policy. And we have a record to compare,” Speaker Mike Johnson told POLITICO as he left the Tuesday meeting, saying Harris would have to answer for Biden’s record. “This has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the competence of the person running for president, the relative strength of the two candidates and what ideas they have on how to solve America’s problems. And I think in that comparison, we’ll win in a landslide.”

Fred Trump III writes that his uncle, Donald Trump, made the shocking suggestion during an Oval Office meeting in May 2020.

During a private meeting at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, then-president Donald Trump reportedly mused aloud about whether people with disabilities would be better off dead instead of causing more expenses for their caregivers.

The shocking remark is included in a new book, All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, by the former president’s nephew, Fred Trump III, who makes other startling claims about his uncle.

According to an excerpt of the book published by Time, Fred Trump III — the brother of psychologist and author Mary Trump and the eldest son of Donald Trump’s late older brother, Fred Trump Jr. — claims his uncle made the offensive remark during a private meeting in May 2020.

Fred Trump III writes that he, then-President Trump, then-Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and White House Covid Task Force member Dr. Brett Giroir, along with other disability rights advocates, spent 45 minutes discussing the needs of people with disabilities at the White House.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-nephew-disability-memoir-b2585139.html

Following the White House meeting, Fred Trump III said he was ushered back into the Oval Office with his uncle and Azar at Donald Trump’s request.

His uncle greeted him: “Hey, pal — how’s everything going?”

Democrats have poured $81m (£62m) in donations into Vice-President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday.

It is the largest 24-hour period of campaign funding in presidential history with more than 888,000 donors making contributions of less than $200 in the day after Mr Biden stepped aside.

“Grassroots supporters are energized and excited to support her as the Democratic nominee,” ActBlue, the progressive donation platform, said on X.

Donors who had pulled back their funding over concerns about Mr Biden’s age say they now intend to resume their support for the party.

The party raised over $27.5m in the first five hours of Ms Harris’ presidential campaign. That number nearly doubled by the end of the day. In 24 hours, the sum broke a presidential fundraising record.

The new funds mark a significant turn for the Democratic party, which had seen support erode from major donors after Mr Biden’s poor performance in June’s presidential debate against Donald Trump.

Grassroots funding from small donors had also diminished, according to Biden campaign insiders cited in US media.

Body-camera footage showing the fatal police shooting of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman who had called 911 for help, was released publicly Monday in a case that has led to murder charges against a deputy.

The 36-minute video released via the Illinois State Police includes body-camera footage from each of the two Sangamon County Sheriff’s deputies who responded to Massey’s house after midnight on July 6 after Massey called 911 to report a possible “prowler” at her home in Springfield, according to a court document filed by prosecutors.

In the footage, deputy Sean Grayson and another deputy speak calmly with Massey in her home when she goes to the stove to turn off a pot of boiling water. She then picks up the pot and the other deputy steps back, “away from your hot steaming water,” he says.

“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” she says in response.

“Huh?” the deputy says.

“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” she repeats.

“You better f**king not or I swear to God I’ll f**king shoot you in the f**king face,” Grayson says.

He then draws his firearm and points it at her, and she ducks and says, “I’m sorry” while lifting the pot, the video shows.

Even after the Republican assassination plot was proven to be staged by Donald Trump, Republicans, in their latest show of fascism have BLACKMAILED the USSS directory Kimberly Cheatle into resigning by threatening to impeach her.
And they did it in front of the entire world.

U.S. Secret Service chief resigns after Trump assassination attempt

U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned, MSNBC reported Tuesday.

Cheatle appeared before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Monday at which members of both parties berated her over the failures of the agents at a rally where Donald Trump was shot in the ear in an assassination attempt.


Despite spending decades working her way up the ranks, Republicans attacked Cheatle as a "DEI hire," suggesting she was only hired because she was a woman.

EXCLUSIVE:Trump’s ‘secretary of retribution’ has a ‘target list’ of 350 people he wants arrested

Cheatle was berated at Monday's meeting for being cagey about the reasons the building where the shooter climbed on the roof was not secured or why it didn't have agents on it. Another unanswered question was how the service knew about a "suspicious person" but Trump was allowed to take the stage.

"Donald Trump has aligned himself with yet another active player in the crypto industry. Larry Fink, the founder of BlackRock."
"Trump has chosen Larry as his pick for US Treasury Secretary. This might sound like an odd match since Larry is something of a leftie, but the two have a history together, and they share a mutual respect that has grown over the years."
"Last week, there was rumors that Trump was considering JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, but reports say it’s really Larry who has been Trump’s go-to guy for economic advice. This partnership goes back to when BlackRock managed Trump’s investment portfolio. "

Look bro, I am not telling you vote for Democrat. I am just hilighting what a hypocrite Trump. I am concerned that if Trump is re-elected, and if I do not become a worker slave working to death, for the profits of the Jew bankers cartels, or some ponzi scamming fatcat corporate bankers to rob me of my hard-earned money, then I will get framed by the corrupt law enforcement officials under Emperor Trump, and hes gonna take away my guns and execute/jail me, or straight up murder me in a shootout for defending my freedom, which would be way worser fate IMO than what the Democrats would offer already.

With this corrupt establishment of a rich big bank corporate banker pick as finance minster, I am defintely NOT voting from Trump. Libetarian or some other write-in ballot sounds like much better options now.

go fuck yourself paid shill. a vote for a third part is a vote for a democrat. literally everything that is not a vote for trump is a vote for harris. fuck dems I will vote in every election and I will vote straight ticket republican. we saw in france and england what voting for 3rd parties does, it gives you communists. there is not a force on heaven or earth that will convince me not to vote straight ticket republican, I fucking hate the dems that much and a paid dem shill like you isn't going to talk me into throwing my vote away
besides, even the libertarians could win, they can't it's a vote for harris, but even if they could, the libertarians take direct orders from the DNC and china. that is why they run faggots like gary johnson and bill weild who both want guns banned and open borders. it why dems sued to get the green party/stine off ballots, but never went after the libertarians.

Donald Trump spent part of his Monday attacking President Joe Biden, Vice President and likely Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and the media.

The former president fired off a series of messages from shortly before midnight until a little bit after, including one where he attacked Harris for having “absolutely terrible pole numbers against a fine and brilliant young man named DONALD J. TRUMP!”

The “young man” named Trump is 78, making him nearly 19 years older than Harris. With Biden leaving the race before accepting the nomination, Trump is the oldest presidential candidate from a major party in U.S. history.

It’s also likely the former president meant poll numbers rather than “pole numbers.”

Trump has been workshopping attacks on Harris, but seems to be running out of ideas. He has previously called her “Laffin’ Kamala,” but since that hasn’t picked up any traction is now experimenting with “Lyin’” instead.

Just one problem: “Lyin’” ― with the apostrophe instead of the “g” ― was also his nickname for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) during the 2016 primaries. Trump at that time also attacked Cruz’s wife and father. Cruz responded by turning into one of Trump’s most devoted supporters.

Trump shooter Thomas Crooks was likely 'acting out a fantasy': Extremism expert
“Crooks could easily have become a mass killer – the Secret Service snipers prevented that," says Jytte Klausen

BETHEL PARK, Pa. – An expert in extremism and terrorism said that Thomas Matthew Crooks' assassination attempt on former President Trump was likely not politically motivated – instead, the 20-year-old was likely "acting out a fantasy," and seeking a target that would bring him "attention and fame."


Jytte Klausen, a political science professor at Brandeis University, has studied terrorist networks and violent extremism for two decades, putting together a methodology for forensic biographies of perpetrators and radicalization trajectories.

She is currently writing a book called "How to Become a Terrorist" that dives into incels, homegrown Islamists, neo-Nazis and other groups.

Researchers have long suggested that sea life could be impacted by drugs dumped into the water by smugglers, with tonnes of cocaine found around Florida, South and Central America.

A study from the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Brazil has now found evidence sharks are in fact being affected by drugs polluting the ocean.

The scientists dissected 13 wild Brazilian sharpnose sharks that were bought from small fishing vessels, as the species spend their entire lives in coastal waters and were therefore most likely to be affected by pollution.

Muscle and liver tissue were then tested using a standard technique called liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry - where molecules are separated in a liquid - to look for cocaine and benzoylecgonine, the main metabolite in the drug.

All 13 sharks were positive for the drug, with a concentration as much as 100 times higher than previously reported for other aquatic creatures, the scientists found.

It marks the first study to find the presence of cocaine in free-range sharks, and found the substance was more prevalent in muscle tissue than in the shark's livers.

However, the study said the field of research was "very limited" and the impact of cocaine or benzoylecgonine on aquatic life is not fully known.

People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account on the site owned by the man who is giving Trump a 45 million dollar bribe every month

https://newrepublic.com/post/184097/trump-elon-musk-causing-kamala-harris-problems

Following Kamala Harris’s announcement that she is running for president, users on Elon’s Musk Twitter found themselves banned from following the vice president’s political campaign account.

When users went to follow @KamalaHQ, the official rapid response page for Harris’s campaign, they were greeted with a message that said they had reached their “limit” and could not follow any more accounts at this time.

This message usually is deployed to prevent spam or “rate limiting,” for instance if one account is following hundreds of others. But it seems that the Harris account is the one being limited, rather than the users’.

An initial search for KamalaHQ on The New Republic’s Twitter account also found that the campaign account is limited. The campaign account showed up in repeated subsequent searches, seeming to suggest the issue is being resolved.

This all may look a little suspicious considering Elon Musk’s growing relationship with Donald Trump. Just last week, Musk promised to donate $45 million a month to help Trump get reelected.

In the past several days, Musk has continued to post right-wing and pro-Trump memes. Following Joe Biden stepping down, Musk retweeted former Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy saying, “We’re not running against a candidate. We’re running against a system.”

No, that's actually real. Staff for the Biden admin. were funding bail funds during the largest race riots in US history, which included Harris, who was asking on social media for democrats to donate money to those organizations.

>This has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
Biden called him a white supremacist before the details were even known about the case. Many democrats believed that he had killed black people for that reason, instead of defending himself from a wife beater, a literal child sodomizer, and a felon in possession of a firearm.
Rittenhouse is the poster boy for the Right because he's the perfect example of leftists hurting innocent people and then trying to crucify anybody that protects themselves.
>Like when Trump doesn't deny that he tried to coup the government using a violent mob of his supporters to threaten his VP but instead says he needs criminal immunity because he was the president?
Trump was still the president when the """"insurrection"""" happened, faggot. Why would he overthrow his own administration?
Does Biden even know that he isn't running anymore? Because that's an unironic coup on the part of the democratic party.

President Biden's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination could defuse the age question dogging the Democrats: Harris will be 60 on Inauguration Day — 22 years younger than Biden.

Why it matters: Concerns over Biden's age and mental fitness were central to calls for his replacement as the Democratic nominee. Trump, at 78, becomes the oldest nominee in U.S. history if Harris or someone else younger than Trump succeeds Biden atop the Democratic ticket.

Reality check: Twelve U.S. presidents were 60 or older at the time of their inauguration.

Biden and Trump were the only presidents older than 70 at the start of their terms.
Catch up quick: Biden's performance during the first presidential debate against Trump on June 27 led to calls from constituents and politicians for him to step down.

Zoom out: All three branches of federal government have prompted conversations about America's gerontocracy.

The 118th Congress, one of the oldest in U.S. history, drove debates last year about term limits and fitness for office.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stepped aside in 2022, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced he'd retire as the head of Senate Republicans following the 2024 election.
On the Supreme Court, 74% of Americans favor a maximum age limit for justices, according to Pew polling from last year.

It's true. There's barely any true leftists or socialists in the democratic party. This is why your accusations are always brushed off. The right has continued to push further and further right while dems remain slightly right of center. Dems message simply speak to more people by virtue of the right isolating themselves. and we constantly win everything because of that. We have the Jews and their influence as well which I am very thankful for.

A Lot Has Changed for Women Since 2016. What Does That Mean for Kamala Harris?

Voters eager to elect the first female president pointed to anger over a loss of abortion rights, but also acknowledged a fear that sexism would remain difficult for Ms. Harris to overcome.
In the eight years since Hillary Clinton failed to win the American presidency, the work force for the first time grew to include more college-educated women than college-educated men. The #MeToo movement exposed sexual harassment and toppled powerful men. The Supreme Court overturned the federal right to abortion.

Will any — or all — of it make a difference for Vice President Kamala Harris?

Ms. Harris seems almost certain to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee after President Biden’s decision not to seek re-election. As such, she faces, fairly or not, some of the same electability questions that Mrs. Clinton confronted in a nation that, unlike many of its peers around the globe, has yet to pick a woman as its leader.

A presidential contest pitting Ms. Harris against former President Donald J. Trump would represent a rematch of sorts: Mr. Trump would again have to run against a woman who held a top administration position and served in the Senate. He defeated Mrs. Clinton in 2016 in spite of her winning the popular vote by a wide margin.

But the dynamics would be unquestionably different. Ms. Harris has neither the political legacy nor the baggage of Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Trump, having served a turbulent term in office, is now a known quantity. Ms. Harris is Black and of South Asian descent.

Oh.

Hilary lost, friend.

President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will end his presidential re-election campaign, bringing an abrupt and humbling conclusion to his half-century-long political career and scrambling the race for the White House just months before Election Day.

Biden, 81, could not reverse growing sentiment within his party that he was too frail to serve and destined to lose to Donald Trump in November.

His withdrawal caps a singular national political career, bookended by Richard Nixon’s fall and Trump’s rise. He mounted four presidential bids. He spent 36 years in the US Senate representing tiny Delaware. He rose to the chairmanships of the powerful judiciary and foreign relations committees. And he served eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president.

Biden’s decision to exit the race less than a month before his party’s convention and a few months before voters head to the polls is unprecedented in the modern political era. The last sitting president to abandon a reelection bid was Lyndon Johnson, whose expansion of the Vietnam War in the 1960s split the Democratic Party. But Johnson’s announcement came in March 1968 — eight months before that election.

“We’re in uncharted waters,” said Barbara Perry, a presidential studies professor at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. “No president has dropped out or died this close to the convention.”

Replacing Biden atop the Democratic ticket is likely to set off internal Democratic tremors as ambitious officials maneuver to become his successor. Factions have already formed around sitting Vice President Kamala Harris and prominent governors, including Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer and California’s Gavin Newsom.

posted, yes. You realize polls take more than a day to research and develop, right?

U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tuesday amid widespread outrage over her agency’s failure to prevent the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally earlier this month.

Cheatle’s resignation, which was first reported by NBC News citing sources, came a day after she was blasted by members of a House committee at a hearing on the Secret Service’s actions leading up to Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler Township.

Cheatle rejected calls at that hearing to resign, saying she was the best-qualified person to head the Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting the president, vice president, their family members and leading presidential candidates.

The director angered members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee by refusing to answer many questions about the Secret Service’s actions surrounding Trump’s rally, where the Republican presidential nominee narrowly avoided being killed by 20-year-old gunman Thomas Crooks. One man died in the shooting, while two others were critically injured.

On Tuesday, Cheatle in a letter wrote to Secret Service staff, “In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that, I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director.”

“The Secret Service’s solemn mission is to protect our nation’s leaders and financial infrastructure. On July 13th, we fell short on that mission,” said Cheatle, who served in the agency for nearly 30 years.

“The scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases,” she wrote. “As your Director, I take full responsibility for the security lapse.”

President Joe Biden, in a statement, thanked Cheatle for “her decades of public service,” and said, “As a leader, it takes honor, courage, and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in public service.”

Biden also said he plans to appoint a new Secret Service director “soon,”

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee, in a statement on her resignation, said it would not stop the panel’s demand for “more accountability” from the Secret Service.

“The Secret Service has a no-fail mission yet it failed historically on Director Cheatle’s watch,” said Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chairman who had demanded her resignation, along with the panel’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, and other committee members.

“At yesterday’s Oversight Committee hearing, Director Cheatle instilled no confidence that she has the ability to ensure the Secret Service can meet its protective mission,” Comer said.

“While Director Cheatle’s resignation is a step toward accountability, we need a full review of how these security failures happened so that we can prevent them going forward.”

The criticism of Cheatle centers on the Secret Service’s failure to secure a roof that Crooks used as a sniper’s post to shoot at Trump and rally attendees, among other lapses.

The building whose roof Crooks positioned himself on is about 150 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking, and had a clear line of sight and fire to that stage.

Secret Service agents also allowed Trump to take the stage and begin speaking after receiving a report from local police that a suspicious person had been seen at the event. That person ended up being Crooks, who was killed by a Secret Service sniper after he fired multiple rounds at Trump, and after the sniper had already seen Crooks on the roof.

Cheatle was widely mocked after the shooting for rationalizing the decision to not put a law enforcement sniper on the roof that Crooks climbed up to while being seen by rally attendees who warned police about what he was doing.

Cheatle in an ABC News interview noted that the roof was sloped at its highest point.

“There’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” she told ABC News. “And so, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.”

This weekend, the Secret Service admitted that on the heels of the shooting it had incorrectly stated that the agency had not rejected requests from Trump’s campaign for enhanced security for him.

The shooting, the most serious assassination attempt against a U.S. president in more than 40 years, came after the Secret Service was informed of intelligence that Trump was the target of an Iranian assassination plot. Crooks has not been linked to Iran.

The Secret Service in recent years has been the target of criticism for a series of scandals and missteps.

She received a bipartisan grilling by Congress yesterday to be fair. Both dems and chuds were pounding the tables in anger while asking her questions for the cameras.

I've been told that despite the Republican registration that donating 15$ to progressives made Crooks a Democrat, so is Trump 500x more of a Democrat?

He donated to ActBlue when he registered to vote. He didn't seek them out, it was probably automatic.
