‘When they go low, we go with the flow’: Dems ramp up attacks on Trump

Trump Turned the Democratic Party Into a Pitiless Machine

Damn, they've finally figured it out.
When the bullies are hitting you and yelling, "stop hitting me" at the same time...it's a ploy for the teachers "watching".
Hit 'em back...and hit them hard. And if you can, hit them again and again.

It's a lesson learned by anyone that's survived Jr. high school.

No need to be the adults in the room, when there's shooters (GOP) wandering the halls.
Get the hell out...or even better, shoot back.

Bullies and crazies will never learn otherwise...or not be around to hurt others.

They want to take over the nation, any means to an end, now's the time to not be polite and discrete.
To save the nation, call them out, hurt them where it counts.

I doubt they'll learn. But at least then they won't destroy/warp the nation and all the people within.
(much less the world...that would like letting a nutter have a bazooka , we're still very powerful, whether led by quality or not)

I hope that Biden & his team are making certain the Secret Service, the National Guard, & other LEAs are prepared for the election, the time between the election and the certification, & the certification.

The crackdowns need to be fast, thorough, & zero tolerance.

Hillary Clinton Listens to DNC Crowd Chants "Lock Him Up" About Trump | C-SPAN.org

Revenge is a dish best eaten cold.

I'm sure it feels awesome to her.

Why do the Dems eat their own?? Hillary. Biden. Franken. so many thrown under the bus.

Wonder if Harris will ask Hillary to be Secretary of the State again??
Now THAT would piss off the GOP.
And make some bad players on the world stage quake. (including Putin. He doesn't like Hillary)

Hmmm...

At least they have seemed to learn their lesson finally. They aren't playing around anymore.
Watch this vid
Dems doing spin right

Please leave Hillary at home. To put it simply people do not like Hillary Clinton.

It was the backlash against her arrogance & sense of entitlement, which was a large part of The 2016 Perfect Storm of Discontent, that gave us NPD Trump.

Democrats gave Harris a strong liftoff. Now comes the harder part.
Harris’s party has drawn broad outlines of what it believes. Now it must fill in the details.

By Karen Tumulty August 22, 2024 at 3:58 p.m. EDT

CHICAGO — Just over a month ago, Republicans held a coronation in Milwaukee. There was only one star on their stage; everyone else’s role was to reflect the singular glory of Donald Trump.

When the Democrats’ turn came this week, they instead assembled an ensemble cast that included two former presidents and the current one. They slotted diverse younger stars, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, into prime-time spots.

The effect was a narrative of generational handoff and a promise that their standard-bearer, Kamala Harris, will carry forward the best of the Democratic past into a vibrant, multicultural future.

The Democrats’ fresh exuberance comes from the drastic change in circumstance they have experienced in the past four weeks, which have seen President Joe Biden abandon his stumbling bid for a second term and Harris pick up the baton with a seamless ease that few could have anticipated.

They began their convention on a poignant note, bathing Biden with gratitude as he made his exit. The first night also featured Hillary Clinton, who served as a reminder of past disappointment and the exhilarating prospect of what could lie ahead with the election of the first female president.

“On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris raising her hand and taking the oath of office as our 47th president of the United States,” said their 2016 nominee. “Because, my friends, when a barrier falls for one of us … it falls and clears the way for all of us.”

Then came Tuesday, when Barack and Michelle Obama invoked the magic of hope that had fueled the Democrats’ 2008 presidential campaign and reduced Trump from the colossus that Republicans had built into an insecure narcissist whose act has grown stale.

“Here’s a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,” Barack Obama said. “There’s the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes.”

Even the most successful presidential nominating conventions, of course, are temporary highs. The fact remains that this election is extraordinarily close. Both sides are so deeply dug in that the outcome will likely be determined by only a sliver of the electorate in a handful of states.

It will be a tricky thing for an incumbent vice president to present herself, to quote one of the convention slogans, as “a new way forward.” Republicans will be doing their best to saddle Harris with the dissatisfaction that 8 in 10 Americans feel with the direction of the country, according to the latest Gallup poll.

It helps, to be sure, that Harris’s very identity — a Black woman of South Asian descent — is itself a break with the past. Her record as a prosecutor will also serve her well, given that her opponent stands convicted of 34 felony counts.

And in picking Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, she has teamed up with a relatable Midwesterner — his years as a high school football coach got heavy emphasis during the convention — and someone who is comfortable on the attack.

Harris has also redefined the stakes of the election. Where Biden had built his campaign’s core message around the dark threat that Trump poses to democracy, Harris has chosen as her watchword “freedom” — a bit of political appropriation, given how many Republicans over the years have campaigned on that concept.

The theme is uplifting, forward-looking and newly resonant in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning the constitutional right to abortion. Again and again, delegates here have chanted: “We won’t go back.”

The concept, as the party intends to portray it, is far broader than that one issue. “When we Democrats talk about freedom, we mean the freedom to make a better life for yourself and the people that you love,” Walz said in his acceptance speech Wednesday night. “Freedom to make your own health-care decisions. And, yeah, your kids’ freedom to go to school without worrying about being shot dead in the hall.”

Granted, all of this has had to come together in a tight timeline. But the ticket will have to offer more than words and vibes to close the deal with voters — and soon, given that there are fewer than 75 days to go until the election. The economic plan Harris unveiled shortly before the convention is short on detail. She has given few clues as to whether and how her foreign policy would differ from Biden’s.

Harris and her newly invigorated party have drawn the broad outlines of what they believe they can offer the country going forward. Now they must fill in the details.

‘He’s got to pay a price’: Unaired footage reveals Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 fury

No shit! I'd be pissed and on the warpath too.
If a huge gang showed up to my house and threatened violence, damaged everything and put literal shit on my office stuff...I'd want heads to roll too.
Y'think??? ANY person would, in their right mind.

Much less, if that person was the head of the damned legislative body. (with some power and influence)
* oh yeah, 3rd in line to be prez, right after the VP

AND you knew who started it all, because you watched as they went on national TV and encouraged it. A duh assumption.

So, if this Red Queen sez off with his head...y'know she's pissed and rightly so.

It would've been nice to have Pelosi & McConnell (remember his intense attack on Trump?) together damning NPD Trump for his actions & inaction.

Edit: I'm having a hard time finding McConnell's speech immediately after the Jan 06 attack. Am I wrong that it was him, or has the speech been buried by the news media?

Well, he's considered "dead on arrival" since his freezes, so not news worthy.
Also, it's always been his and the GOPs inclination to suppress and bury that speech, since it doesn't agree with the byline of the Election denial...and it would piss off Chump.
So, unless the Dems or a paper want to bring it up again, to play "gotcha" or prove a point...It's going to linger in limbo and be at the bottom of any search engine result.

Democrats Are Already Buzzing About a Merrick Garland Successor

Others in the party have far less charitable assessments of Garland’s tenure. They point to a series of perceived missteps that include the appointment of special counsel Robert Hur to investigate President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents; the indulgence of special counsel David Weiss and his dubious criminal cases against Biden’s son Hunter; and, most controversial of all, the delay in seriously investigating and ultimately prosecuting Donald Trump over his alleged effort to steal the 2020 election.

Yes, for whatever reason...MG let justice linger and put trust into the wrong people.
And let the conservative biased FBI, if not co-conspirators drag things out and obfuscate to make it all a fog...hoping it fades and dies, to their "side's" benefit.

We need an AG more on top of things and more proactive and aggressive within reason, discretion and diplomacy. (much less, law and legalities)
He spoke softly...but forgot to use his Big Stick.

I'm hoping Harris, with her prosecution expertise, will be able to pick a really good replacement.
Like Biden, MG should enjoy retirement. (a good man, just not a good AG)

McConnell seemed
extremely clear-minded
at the time.

The most condemning attack on Trump,
made by the most powerful Republican in Washington,
gets buried.
TPTB are...powerful.

China boi McConnell dismissed it as a knee jerk angry response. Which are two reasons why it's surpringly so truthful.

Part of me says Merrick Garland should be shown respect, and be allowed to resign, with the obligatory praise (partially accurate) for his service.

Part of me says Tortoise Garland should be publicly dismissed, with wording the DOJ needs more aggressive leadership.

Yesterday I was considering starting a not-too-serious thread about how the official statement regarding his departure could be worded.

Edit, from the linked article...

"But it is his handling of Trump’s conduct surrounding the 2020 election, leading up to Jan. 6 itself, that overshadows all the rest. The department could — and should — have investigated Trump quickly and aggressively after he left office, but that is not what happened. The delay in getting the investigation of Trump’s conduct up and running in earnest, coupled with the subsequent and repeated trial delays following Trump’s indictment, have created a situation in which the country now finds itself facing the distinct possibility that Trump will return to power at least in part thanks to Garland’s failure to act quickly enough."

^ This!!
Tortoise Garland's inexcusable delays allowed many things to happen, the chief one being giving SCOTUS plenty of time to find ways to protect NPD Trump.
