Donna and I went to the Pima Country Democratic Party headquarters here in Tucson the other day. We wanted to get a yard sign and Donna wanted to volunteer to get people registered. While we were there, a couple other couples came in for yard signs too. We were all feeling the joy that has come back into our politics. We were all feeling so invigorated by Kamala's campaign and the possibility of her becoming president. As it turned out, the office hadn't received any yard signs yet to give out. Everything is happening so fast, there hasn't been time to make and get them out to the whole country yet.

But they turned us on to a sign shop that was making and selling them, and we went there. And there, a couple of other people were also there to get Harris/Walz yard signs. One woman got one that said "CHILDLESS CAT LADY FOR HARRIS". Oddly, the place had no Trump signs for sale. Not much call for them I guess.

And again, we were all reveling in her campaign and this wonderful feeling of joy. The look on people's faces was simply priceless. Like wanderers in a desert who just came upon an oasis.

I am sure that this joy is not limited to Tucson. It is being felt all over the country and is ubiquitously palpable. People are actually joyous about our future for the first time in a great long while.

I intend to enjoy it for as long as possible.

by HatetheSwamp on August 14, 2024 8:52 am What a day of rejoicing! Hallelujah! by Indy! on August 14, 2024 11:13 am We can enjoy it until Kamala gets elected and starts acting like a corporate-controlled politician. You remember - like Obama. by HatetheSwamp on August 14, 2024 11:17 am Translation: Indy's smitten now but expects to have his heart broken. And, you're right, Indy. Kammy's an empty suit just as much as "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap." by Indy! on August 14, 2024 11:51 am She's still a Rhodes Scholar compared to Donald Dump. by HatetheSwamp on August 14, 2024 12:00 pm A Rhodes Scholar? Really? by Ponderer on August 14, 2024 2:48 pm "We can enjoy it until Kamala gets elected and starts acting like a corporate-controlled politician." -Indy! That's pretty much what they expected of FDR when he got the White House the first time. There's never been a better time for another one like him to come along. We will of course see. But yeah, who knows when we will all be able to feel so hopeful about and election and our future again, eh? by HatetheSwamp on August 14, 2024 3:00 pm po, You dig chicks. Does Donna have anything to worry about? by Indy! on August 14, 2024 3:24 pm Yes, really peebs. Unlike Trump, Kamala went to college and has had real jobs that require real work. by HatetheSwamp on August 14, 2024 3:32 pm Trump graduated from the prestigious Wharton School of business. But Kammy's not a Rhodes Scholar. by Indy! on August 14, 2024 5:20 pm "Graduated" as in "he bought his degree". by ROB3RT on August 14, 2024 6:29 pm I suspect Trump's father bought Donald the degree. by oldedude on August 14, 2024 6:53 pm Indy Unlike Trump, Kamala went to college and has had real jobs that require real work. kammy's been a politician most of her life. And totally screwed that up. Alot like pedojoe. and burnie. Trumpster built a pretty good empire on his own. I mean, you bitch about the amount of money he makes. That's "his" empire's money, so that's not bad. Not my thing, but he isn't the one taking money from the taxes (he got the regular amount as any other president but chose to donate the entire amount to various government agencies. So in essence, he didn't get paid while president. AND he couldn't take the donations off on his taxes, so he got taxed on that money, but gave it away. factcheck.afp.com by Indy! on August 14, 2024 8:02 pm Trump "built" nothing on his own. His father gave him $400M and he bought and sold some real estate while simultaneously committing tax fraud that made him millions off the taxpayers' dime. Every legitimate business he tried to start failed including a... snicker... CASINO! 🤓 by Ponderer on August 15, 2024 7:39 am That still gets me every time. How on Earth does a "financial genius" manage to bankrupt a god damned casino for fucksake??? You flaming Trump Party hypocrites are in absolutely no place whatsoever to be lecturing us on anything that our candidates have ever said or done. You are championing a man who lies about everything. The man lies when there isn't even any reason to lie. He's a pathological liar who bases his entire existence on lies. His companies were all founded on lies. His marriages were all apparently lies. His speeches are a cacophony of nothing but demonstrable lie after lie after lie. The asshole even lies about and cheats at golf! And he is of course totally lying when he says he is a great and brilliant businessman. His only true skills are non-stop lying and manipulating the court system to keep out of prison to this date. by Indy! on August 15, 2024 9:55 am I'll tell you why the casino failed. Because Trump was probably (😉) skimming money just like organized crime did it in Las Vegas back in the day, except Trump was too stupid to leave enough cash in the kitty to keep the casino running. by Ponderer on August 15, 2024 11:20 am I'd say that is a prime possibility. The guy's entire business career is just one giant, long-game Ponzi scheme. (And we know how THOSE tend to eventually work out...) by Indy! on August 15, 2024 11:27 am Exactly. For quite awhile he's been making most of his (non-presidential) money off of selling his name... Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump Tower.... he had little to nothing to do with those businesses - they paid him to use his name. by Ponderer on August 15, 2024 12:38 pm Right. And his real estate dealings seem to have mostly been about lying on tax and loan forms to fraudulently leverage one property with another or others. He'd have probably never made a dime at real estate if he had done it legit and legally, Given his astounding lack of genius at it. by Indy! on August 15, 2024 2:40 pm Don't forget his son-in-law - the guy who was going to bring peace to the Middle East... IN TRUMP'S DREAMS - got bailed out of a $6B real estate mistake by the Sauds. Otherwise his entire family would have been moving to the poor house. by Ponderer on August 16, 2024 6:54 am Yeah. The one who brought peace to the middle east by pocketing a couple billion dollars that the Saudis gave him just for being such a great peace maker. by Donna on August 16, 2024 8:18 am I'm looking forward to Kamala & Tim winning in November. That's all I'm focused on now. l've pretty much lost interest in wasting any more of my time arguing with MAGA losers. I'll have more to say when MAGA crazies disrupt the counting of the votes. It's going to be total pandamonium for a while, but we'll get through it. We'll try to keep it bloodless unless the MAGAs get in our way. by oldedude on August 16, 2024 8:53 am Thank you, I'll keep you to that. One down, the two morons to go. oh, princess, you didn't tell me what kammy "built" for a living. This ought to be entertaining! Go To Top
