I used to have a seasonal campsite, and there were lots of flag waving MAGAs among the campers renting short term spots. They were usually the loudest and rudest campers, the most likely to play softball games like they were Ty Cobb and trash the lake beach side. 

To be sure plenty of quieter Trump supporters were fine and respectful, especially among the other seasonal folk, but the worst people in the campground every weekend were the flag waving super duty weekend warrior MAGAs.

I do think the "California locusts" theme is pretty overstated. It's a convenient narrative without much evidence to support it. 

Evidence depends on where you live. It started in AZ years ago but other states have been hit hard recently. It's very noticeable both by their license plates and the Dogeers/Giants/SD hats they wear. They have flooded the state and LEO buddies have told me it's night and day in terms of the types of crimes they are seeing since 2020 when the flood started. I bet MAGA people can be bad as well.

Stupid like when AOC ran Amazon out of town and thought the community would have millions more to spend now they got rid of the tax credits that were going to go to them?

Yeah, but actually worse because they are all openly corrupt. The mayor had her home raided by the FBI. One member of the city council, who campaigned on getting access to housing for people, runs multiple "non-profits" that employ her family and pays them millions of dollars. The City Attorney takes campaign contributions from law firms that she hires to represent the city.

They all just milk the city for money and a lifestyle they could never achieve on their own merits.

I lived probably 10 min from the Tenderloin, 2015-2018. Moved there from NYC so I wasn’t afraid of the homeless, etc. But damn, all my years in Philly and NYC, and this was the first time I’d regularly see people shooting needles in the street. Most of my coworkers were transplants from goober-ish parts of the country, so they’d be like "You’re from NYC? I hear it’s so dirty there.” and it’s like bro, you got people straight up taking dumps on the sidewalk.  

And as a single straight guy amongst that dating pool…”land of the 6’s” is generous.

you missed the tranquil surroundings of mcphearson square aka needle park back in the day.

He is killing the GOP, all money goes to him, and nothing to any other candidate unless, as his daughter in law decides, she considers Trump's campaign fully funded.

One reporter asked Kirby why neither Biden, on vacation in Delaware, nor Kamala Harris, hiding out from reporters in Washington, held any public observance of the anniversary of the attack like Trump did at Arlington Cemetery Monday morning with several Gold Star families and Abbey Gate survivors. Kirby said that Trump was personally invited by the families of the fallen, implying Biden and Harris were not invited.

Why does JV Vance hate his kids?

Harris trying to decide whether or not to do an interview, who to do the interview, etc... calls to mind women trying to decide where they want to eat for dinner.  And this is who you commies want making split second decisions with national implications.

 

THE Q&A QUESTIONS — Nearly three weeks ago, on an airport tarmac in Detroit, Eugene asked VP KAMALA HARRIS about plans for a sitdown interview. She had just formally secured the Democratic presidential nomination and was facing pressure to answer questions about her candidacy in a more formal setting.

Harris gave him a deadline: "I’ve talked to my team,” she said. "I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month.”

That’s four days from now, on Saturday. Of course, "scheduled” doesn’t mean the interview will happen by then. But with the Democratic nominee generally hitting all her marks since entering the race, her scripted, light-on-policy candidacy has become an issue. And questions about when, where and with whom Harris will finally sit down are dominating the inside conversation this week. (DONALD TRUMP has stepped up the pace of his interviews, partially to highlight the gap.)

Harris campaign staff have been asking reporters who they think she should talk to. Behind the scenes, TV producers from big name anchors have been calling the campaign to pitch their talent as the person she has to do it with.

Harris has had a light schedule since accepting the nomination Thursday in Chicago, and several sources said she has been using the time not just to prepare for her Sept. 10 debate with Trump, but to map out a media strategy for the next few weeks.

Here are some of the questions rattling around about the decision …

— Who should you send your pitch to? One source of intrigue concerns who in Harris world will actually make this decision. BRIAN FALLON, the campaign’s senior adviser for communications, is generally considered the key person. But the interview has to be coordinated with Harris’s official office, where the communications director is KIRSTEN ALLEN. We hear there are some tensions.

Another source with knowledge of the process said that STEPHANIE CUTTER, senior adviser for message and strategy, will have an outsized role, as well. Campaign chair JEN O’MALLEY DILLON and senior advisor DAVID PLOUFFE represent another camp. And MAYA HARRIS and TONY WEST, Harris’s sister and brother-in-law, will weigh in with their own views. The political operatives on this list all have long-term relationships with TV networks and their major talent. But unlike Biden, Harris herself doesn’t have the same deep history with the journalists now wooing her.

— What’s the goal? There has been considerable debate in Harris world about the purpose and timing of the interview. The main narrative in the political press is that Harris needs to do a lengthy serious interview with a brand-name news anchor who will push her on issues.

Harris herself has expressed disagreement with that view, we’re told by two people, telling some Democrats she doesn’t need a big showy interview. In October, Harris did a sitdown with BILL WHITAKER on "60 Minutes” and talked foreign policy. Some of the exchanges were testy and some Harris aides came away unhappy with the experience.

Former Harris comms adviser ASHLEY ETIENNE told Playbook she thought Harris should have three goals for the interview.

"The first goal would be to peel back some layers on the vice president and show some new dimensions to her,” Etienne said. "There are questions about her worldview and ethos and who she is as a leader.” The convention, she noted, dealt mostly with her bio so any interview should aim to add depth in other areas.

The second goal would be policy. "To be honest, a big audience for this is the inside-the-beltway crowd that really cares about this,” Etienne said. "So she should substantively draw some distinctions with Biden on some policy issues.”

"Third, show her visually as commander-in-chief,” she said. "I would want her to do some in her office at the White House, show her on the road, and also take you inside her home” at the Naval Observatory.

Her pick? Sit down with GAYLE KING on CBS.

— Who else is in the running? The universe of reporters in the mix for this interview is relatively small, especially if the Harris campaign is set on making it a network TV event. ABC’s DAVID MUIR, who has the highest ratings, is co-moderating the Sept. 10 debate, a fact that several TV veterans said might take him and everyone else at the network out of the running for a pre-debate interview. CBS’s NORAH O’DONNELL or NBC’s LESTER HOLT were mentioned the most by people we pinged last night.

NBC’s SAVANNAH GUTHRIE was also a popular choice. Going to a home team booster on MSNBC would not satisfy the media chatter about being challenged in a tough environment, but it can’t be ruled out, and a morning show interview with King might attract the same criticism. At CNN, DANA BASH, JAKE TAPPER, ANDERSON COOPER, KAITLAN COLLINS and ABBY PHILLIP were all considered possibilities.

Going to Holt would make a statement, because he conducted the most famous Harris interview that went off the rails for her. O’Donnell recently announced she’s leaving the CBS Evening News, so it could be a nice capstone for her if Harris cares about that. Almost everyone we talked to said Harris will consider race and gender in making her choice, and that she would be keen to sit down with a Black and/or female reporter, though nobody believes that’s a requirement.

— What about Tim? One of the issues that Harris world is currently working to address is how to deploy running mate TIM WALZ in the media. The danger in sending him out to do big solo interviews is that he might not have a full command of where Harris is on every issue. As someone pointed out to us last night, Harris talks about the "opportunity economy,” but if Walz were asked to define it, would he know how?

Running mates generally do a joint interview during a presidential campaign, and this could be an opportunity for that. They tend to be softer and focus more on the relationship between the two candidates, so a morning show could make sense.

The bottom line is - Conservatives are tolerant, we are kind of get out of your business, you leave me alone, I’ll leave you alone."

Sure, we are banning books, and only want Christianity in America, and not only want to be in the clinic with you, but they want to tell you what birth control you can use, and whether or not you can use IVF.
