Thank You, Stompin’ Tom Connors. We Needed You

Not really sure what to say here, but. Thank you MAGA! Thank you Republican Party! Thank you Donald Trump! Thank you Donald Trump Jr.! Thank you Elon Musk! Thank you crazy, old cult-loving, under-educated, 4,000 sq ft basket of deplorables! And thank YOU JD Vance! Thank you all for deciding to pick this numbnuts, John DeSantis Vance as your vice presidential candidate.

Donald Trump Jr. interviewed JD Vance on his "Triggered" podcast, and let's just say his performance was something to behold. There's a reason we call this guy the "human 8-ball" around here, and these outtakes from Ron Filipkowski of just Trump's questions, no answers, to Vance are enough to give you a headache just watching him.

"Polymarket has a political futures contract on whether Sen. J. D. Vance will remain as Donald Trump’s running mate." noted Political Wire this morning. I think the odds of that happening are 0%, but some people don't and are willing to put up real money that it will happen, despite the implications of such a decision. We shall see.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg blasted frightened Trump and his campaign for pulling out of the agreed-upon debate in September because he's afraid of Vice President Harris. During an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Buttigieg explained the obvious. Trump is all talk and bluster, filled with hot air and lies. (Let's see if CNN puts Buttigieg on as much as they do the inconsequential Nancy Mace) Q: Donald Trump and his campaign have suggested that he may not follow through with the debate in September that had been scheduled to be with President Biden.

Trump's former economic advisor claimed that the only entity that matters to the US economy is business. Larry Kudlow considered the rise of Kamala Harris's campaign, which has MAGA in panic mode. Of course, because he's Larry Kudlow, he took Kamala on as an enemy of the extremely wealthy. Larry also took the opportunity to bash the working class and unions, including a swipe at the teachers union as the 'most regressive anti-kids, anti-education force in the country.' What a charmer.

I wasn't sure if we'd actually see a politician referencing JD Vance's now infamous tryst with a sofa or not, but here we are. Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut was fired up when talking about the candidacy of Kamala Harris, all that positive energy with the Democrats, and then contrast that with the other side. REP.
