On the "weird" discourse, GWB was prescient at Trump’s Inautguration. "That was some really weird shit."

Here in the second week of the Harris campaign, I have to take note that the GOP isn't advancing a single policy proposal. It's simply throwing mud at Harris which doesn't stick or attacking the cat people or the non cat people, whichever. Vance has great staying power since he doesn't know how to quit digging, and this is the sort of hole that voters will not forget. Now he's attacking career people who fail to have babies.

So, Harris is rising in all the swing State polls and keeps on laughing while she attacks. Trump has been out of the limelight for ten days now which must drive him up the wall. Harris gets big crowds. I like what I see. The emperor is cooperatively taking off all his clothes. The body fat isn't pretty either.

So, Trump now has the week in which Harris dominates with her VP choice and then we have the formal nomination week for Harris in which Trump is shadowed, then we get the actual convention week followed by a celebratory attack week in which Trump gets no play, and then he gets sentenced, and a good time is guaranteed for all. That's a lot of pre ordained bad weeks. He may throw a hissy fit. We're sneaking up on October.
