The mud slinging is disgusting.

I wonder if the orange traitor would show up to debate VP Harris. Probably not if he wasn't able to stalk her like he did to Secretary Clinton.

Time for all U.S. citizens to show up and put that orange traitor out of our misery. Vote blue up and down ballot in November!

And my thanks to President Biden for being the great American I always thought he was. Talk about a true patriot.

My prediction is that there will be no more debates this cycle…there, now it’s said….prove me wrong, Trump.

Tough for Trump to seem to be afraid of debating a (mere) woman.

Oh we all know that the Republican Trashers have been busy for months. Reviewing Judd's article, how interesting to see how far deep into the barrel of false claims the Republicans are willing to go. And how wonderful how easy it is to disprove each of these claims!

Regarding being "annoying" all sides are very weary of hearing Trump's windbag deliveries of provable lies, not to mention his preoccupation with sharks and Hannibal Lector!

Now he’s talking about cement. Did you know that cement is going away?

Thanks for the update. Humor is such a relief! (not that I think that DJT didn't go off on the subject of cement)

It’s attributed to Will Rogers: I don’t belong to an organized political party, I’m a Democrat.

We’ve always kind of liked that about ourselves, but this time we can’t afford division, arguments.

I’m old enough to remember 68,80&2016. Contentious conventions have lost us elections.

I’m heartened by the strong support for the VP&the fund raising.

I’m not interested in what Joe Manchin says. I hope Bernie can just shut up.

Democrats actually have a platform: Climate, SCOTUS reform&we must codify Roe&protect women’s reproductive healthcare.

We can do this if we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot.

Remember - only in the democratic party can we openly have these discussions. You get hammered and ostracized in the GOP. As Tim Snyder so well stated.

We have already shot ourselves in the foot. All the Democrats rushing to the media to oust Biden without a plan for a replacement - except for Harris. She is a woman. She is Black. This racist and misogynistic country will not vote for her. Had Biden won, then retired, Harris would be great as President. However, I do not think she can be elected.

Neither my husband nor my son voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. (Neither voted for trump either). Both are all in for Kamala Harris. I’m in AZ, a swing state. Take heart.

The racists and misogynists are already voting for Trump.

You know Barack Obama is black and he won.

Agreed.

And this is all R's have??!! Thin pickings, indeed.

They will figure out a way to signal and inflame racism and misogyny for the R(ed) meat voters. We won't allow that to prevail; women will stand up this time. Dems will win, full ballot 💙

The only red meat that should be discarded are the pounds of it in what used to be the Republicans' party.

Women, it's time to clean house!

What we need is a national media intent on reporting the truth. A media willing to enlist the aid of fact-checkers like you, Judd, so as to immediately counter the 'we know it's coming' lies from the NAZIs. And, to make sure WE don't fall down the same dark hole they inhabit. Thanks for this, Sir.

Watching Fox News and then voting Republican is easier than thinking. They have a ready-made audience. Watching PBS or BBC (or finding and reading a fact-based written news outlet) requires brain activity.

Nice work PI!

At the moment, we don’t have that kind of national media. We have to win without it.

Exactly!

That is a wonderful aspiration. Perhpas we will have some news people stand up for it but they mostly seem to have been compromised.

Expand full comment

Even if we could get one or two, on one or two of the major network news channels, it could be enough to sway 1 to 2 percent of voters back from the Dark Side. Is that asking so much from so-called professionals? We ask more of our trash collectors!

Watch out for Russian-driven disinformation campaigns revving up an anti-Harris campaign even more disgusting and bizarre than the American's. It is crazy that god-fearing, flag-waving Americans are being led by the nose by an enemy state. And willingly go to slaughter.

You know what is truly annoying? Listening to the supposed "strong man" whine endlessly and lie incessantly without any pushback from our vaunted media!

That is annoying, off-putting and dare I say, off-pissing as well!

Don't know what it means but my new favorite phrase is "off-pissing!"

Hahahaha! Didn't want to get tripped up by any censors ya see?

The most critical idea that will need to be countered and countered again, Will be the idea that this is an attempt to steal the election. It will be imperative that all the legal.i’s Are Dotted and t’s are Crossed. We must also turn the message around to Emphasize that Trump and the GOP are trying to steal your rights, your vote, your self determination, and to overturn the constitution, the separation of powers, and return us to a self-appointed monarchy, no thanks to his appointees for life on SCOTUS, that we ran away from in the 1700s.

I'm disappointed that Dems have yet to run one of George Conway's beautifully produced ads depicting the former president standing before a judge who asks the foreman "how do find on the multiple felony charges", and the foreman responds "guilty on all counts your honor", followed by the judge banging his gavel. The glorious fact is that it is all 100% true! This would be a wonderful opportunity to speak truth to the BS reported on today in this newsletter.

Judd, thank you for immediately diving into the false claims against VP Harris’ past. Please keep it up so we have the ammunition we need to shut it down quickly. Hopefully, ALL the Dems who pushed President Biden into stepping down will continue to rally around VP Harris. I cannot wait to see her destroy Trump in a debate & send Project 2025 to the ash bin of fascist history where it belongs. VOTE BLUE!

I am sure that Putin is cooking up more things for them to use. He only needed to have them harp on Biden's age and that took them down. I believe Trump gets his fascist talking points from Putin. But, it seems a lot of people do not consider that, and consider their feelings about Biden to be solely their own. I am skeptical about this.

Expand full comment

Agreed. I think those folks you describe hear the lies on repeat and after a while, tend think to themselves, "they wouldn't be able to say that if it weren't true" and another one bites the dust.

Thanks for this timely info, Judd!

These are all pretty deep in the weeds and require too much explanation for the bigot christofacist's lizard brain to process. Instead, most of the attacks will be Obama/Hillary retreads: Her parents are immigrants so she must not be a citizen; where's her birth certificate? She's black and, as Trump said of the runner-up o the first season of "The Apprentice," "Can you imagine America accepting a n----r winning?" She's a woman and that's obviously disqualifying, especially when you think that all women should be, at best, complementary. Remember, the Republican Party serves exactly one purpose at this point: To make mediocre white men feel better about themselves. Everything Republicans scream about stems from that.

Which is why I think she should do an ad that re-enacts the great scene from "48 Hours" in the redneck bar with her saying, "I'm your worst fkg nightmare: a n----r with a badge. And my name is Kamala Harris." That'd send these losers howling and digging the dirt.

Thank you for the inoculation. Now we can begin building resistance to fake news about VP Harris.

Magaworld is afraid this will upend their plans. Early indications are they have good reason to be afraid.

Gawd, it’s like playing whack-a-mole when they start this stuff. So exhausting, and it takes the focus off policy and, dare I say it, the American people. 😖
