The GOP Convention is coming up.
Ralph Reed and Tony Perkins are worried Trump is trying to water down their abortion slate.

I read somewhere a person on the platform committee wants women to be imprisoned for abortions.
The Evangelicals want an outright ban.

With all this jabbering about Biden and the residual babble about Harris. Even if nothng changes in the Democrats nominee situation, the VP nominees won't get to prove *their* debating chops. That is unfortunate. This is especially true if Trump picks a moron from the Great State of Moronica.

Might seem like a big deal given that debate last week. Typically, there are three debates for Presidential nominees and one for their VP nominees. We don't know Trump's VP pick. He is keeping it close to the best to not distract from Biden news. (I say Stefanik- as if I had a say) No VP debate= sux

Issues The two parties are diametrically opposed on key issues. A lot of pundits & whatnot claimed 2022 midterms were going to determined by the Dobbs; Pro-choice voters would vote in droves More people vote in the General Election. Trump is trying to moderate GOP positions. The GOP= nah! We bad.

He scares some or many of the Republican politicians. Too many grovel and act like they told Trump has blackmail material on them If a politician talks badly of him, they get a primary opponent with Trump's endorsement of that challenger. Only politicians with nothing to lose take him on.

Day #1262 Those Cynical Squirrels Lefty asks Righty that age old question. Or is it that old age question? By the way, Trump, 78, is right now as old as Biden was when he took office in 2021.

It is tough to read the sign on the bench without zooming in.

If we zoom in, the bench seems to be dedicated to the Biden's late son, Beau, Joseph Robinette Biden III

He was once the Attorney General in Delaware.

Is that what Bush-Cheney did? I don't think even advertising it as a partnership like Clinton-Gore is what a campaign should do as it asks for a second term. Trump is a loser. Losers get lost = America wins!

If this were a Looney Tunes animated cartoon, that fake ginormous stick of dynamite/ fire cracker would totally blow up and launch Sluggo out of frame. I mention that not to denigrate this comic strip. But, the fact that Sluggo stands there should alert the kids that is is a prank.

Abortion rights is still an issue. That obviously has yet to be resolved by pro-choice voters 2022 was the warm up. 2024 is when more vote for Abortion Rights And there are other policies people want Democrats to pass and want to prevent judges from taking away. Biden has had judges block a lot 1/

Day #1260 Meanwhile, as Joe Biden is learning whether or not he will be kicked out of the WH sooner than Inauguration Day, challenger Donald Trump is in bragging mode for his lickspittles We know how that goes: as his supporters say: Trumps will be Trumps! They never grow old!

One of the basic problems with that snippet is that candidates must be nominees and register in Ohio earlier than the DNC convention. So if there is no nominee before August 7th or 8th, no Ohio. So Whomever will only be on 49 ballots because Ohio is run by jerks. Maybe it is brought up elsewhere

It also gets political operatives hired while a lot end up hitting the road. There are power grabs at play if the party really wants to change horses in mid-stream. Think of those No Labels people trying to make themselves seem vital. It will be that times the number of potential replacements.

If Trump were asked to quote his favorite Bible verse, he'd turn into the verbal equivalent of a plate spinner who is also trying to juggle bowling pins. Depending upon who is asking, he'd either get a pass or be told one. If the latter, he would nod as if it is wise and say, "That's a good one!"

There is a lot more drawing to fill up the frames in Gately's time. The economy of style used to day delivers the gags but it rarely fills up frames. There are rarely these closeups.

What I just realized is the dumb name for that manifesto is probably keying off of the 1619 Project. Now, I am not gonna dig too deep into when it was announced, published, or what because it just irritates me more if the name is just flopping the naming of Hannah-Jones' work.

Dissing the party to win in her district.Apprently, she is in a really tight race. So that makes some sense for the stance.

I mean, in short: Republicsns get worse and worse. But Democrats won't smack them down. The system is weighted for GOP to do both the crimes and the punishment. All FBI directors have been GOP, all the way back to Hoover. Special Counsels are usually GOP, too.

Part of the problem is not wanting to establish retribution precedents. Maybe it is more than that. But, by pushing the limits beyond what Presidents are supposed to do, post -Watergate, consequences set up the Pat Buchanan wet dream of payback for Nixon. Give the GOP an inch and they'll crime.
