Same Old Tired Playbook

 

It's been clear for a while now that Trump does and says things entirely for attention--good attention or bad attention, he just wants people to talk about him and to have the conversation to revolve around him. It's regrettable that so much of the media falls for this, and politicians end up discussing some peculiar brain-scat from an obviously unwell person instead of talking about actual issues, because they rely on someone else's opinion of whether or not said brainshit was a whole mental turd or not instead of being able to call anything out as the steaming puddle of cerebral diarrhea it is, out of fear of not being seen as "objective". 

This is me saying this. The person who has whole pages devoted to TrumpWorld. I have dissected the pellets of Trump-droppings from time to time myself. 

Kamala Harris, on the other hand, used seven curt words to dismiss the idiot birther and suggest the interviewer try something more substantive. She isn't bothered by what he said. We don't have to pay attention to it. 

I just freaking love her for that. 

The arsonist wants to set fires, but we don't have to give him oxygen. (I feel like this is a preview of how she will handle any debate provocation, and I am looking forward to him trying to confront a whole shut-down of his stock in trade.)

I would like to see him stalk her as he did Clinton, and she kicks him the balls

The Politico Headline was Harris evades questions about her identity. The Corporate Media is desperate to tamp down the roaring momentum of Harris and Walz.

It was, I believe, Bob Marley who wrote, "If you know your history, then you would know where you're coming from"--Kamala Harris is going to confront Trump directly and knows perfectly well the media is not there for her assistance. She knows perfectly well who she is. I wish the media would figure themselves and Trump out.

Minus the Southern patois that sounds like Senator John Kennedy as rendered by bad AI, Donald Trump talking about groceries sounds like Jerr...
