IVF is a term that describes all those kinds of procedures. I completely disagree that he needs to change how that is talked about. If someone tells you they had their kid via IVF does any sane person cross-examine them on exactly what version of that it was? FUCK THAT. They 100% should refuse to play that game.

Yes, it's all very stupid and I wish it weren't this way, but politics is perception. Fertilization occurring inside the uterus vs. in a lab is not a subtle difference in terms of Alabama's IVF law and that's what he's alluding to when framing it that way.

Of course, by the spirit of that terrible law, a woman should be prosecuted just for having her period.

Loma, in all seriousness , they 100% should ignore this attempt to drag this into that kind of argument. It’s dumb and beside the point.

I forgot to mention this in the moment, but man is the governor of New Mexico cringe and boring. Jordan Klepper made fun of her on The Daily Show.

They have been brilliant about ignoring the stupid shit coming from Trump and Vance. One of the reasons the Swift Boat stuff was so effective is that it got all the way to the candidate (Kerry) disavowing it. All that does is give it air.

We are so evolved at this point, after 10 years of Trump, that the Democrats are openly mocking them for being fringe and weird and focusing on greivance politics instead of what normal Americans care about. Trump's ppl know this, but it doesn't matter because the ONLY thing that energizes Trump is bitching, whining and throwing around juvenile nicknames.

So funny how in real life his mouth looks like a puckered anus, and on that it looks vaguely like a vulva. Wonder how many MAGATs buy it hoping to fuck it.

Saw Klepper making fun of her speech but didn’t know who it was. She looked so proud of herself thinking she was funny.

Just as an example, yes, Komrade Kamala makes his crowds cheer and all of that... But do normal people (the folks we're trying to reach) really think Harris and the Democratic Party is communist? Again, not the folks that live and breath Fox News and News Max and OAN. Normal, relatively low information voters...

I'm (obviously) not a pollster, I'm just going by my gut... Constantly attacking Harris as being a Communist is just fucking stupid. And being so nasty, while the Dems are just calling them on their self-dick punching behavior and overall being positive... The contrast this election is as stark as it's ever been for Trump.

And that ain't good for him.

Trump has almost literally been in bed with Putin for ten years. Almost quite literally. Who is the Komrade?

There’s an unspecified speaker slot tonite that DNC is holding super secret. Lots of rumors. Want to play the guessing game?

Beyoncé?

W?

Edit.

Seriously. If it's Dubya and he stumps across Texas for Kamala, Texas turns fucking blue and Ted Cruz goes bye bye forever.

If it's not Jordan, I don't think it's worth keeping a secret.

I think Beyoncé is a good guess.

I mean, Jordan is pretty famously apolitical. Would be pretty wild for him to come on stage... Just not holding my breath for that.

TayTay finished up her Wembley gigs on Tuesday, so...

Don't think Beyonce is on tour, unless Google is broken...

Let's just bring them both out and really fuck shit up.

Dubya would be the funniest shit ever.

I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but polls from Texas today showing Harris down 5 (and the guy running the worst campaign against Cruz only down 2) seems worrisome for trump.

Beyond just watching clips of MSNBC panel discussions this week, if you want to fill your heart up...

The Daily Show is live in front of a large and raucous crowd in Chicago all week.

Just watched 15 or so minutes of various clips and, fuckin' A it feels good to be so happy and hopeful again.

And, man... Fuck those fucking guys.

Loma, you're completely right - Walz needs to stop implying that the Rs want to ban the fertility procedure he and his wife used to have their first kid. They have to be able to come up with less misleading language.

Having Beyonce appear tonight would be way cooler than Taylor Swift. Or W. But how many Beyonce fans are there who aren't already going to vote for Harris?

Taylor would be a way bigger deal than Beyoncé. And I’m saying this as a fellow Houstonian. Taylor Swift would “break the internet” as kids used to say.

She was really torn about speaking out during the Reputations tour. She extended her tour into the election months and knows that she really isn’t risking her fanbase if she did something like this. I don’t think it’s her, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
