Whenever I start feeling there's no way Trump could possibly win I have to remind myself there is a large segment of the US electorate (like my sister) that only watches Fox News and has never heard this quote. Or has never heard about Trump's dissing of Medal of Honor recipients. Or heard that Fox itself had to pay $500MM+ to Dominion Voting for deliberately lying about it and the whole 'stop the steal' disinformation campaign.
But not hearing the burgeoning list of Trump's illegal and immoral behaviour is not as bad as repeatedly hearing the lies and distortions that Fox actively spews. My sister vehemently believes Joe Biden is an evil, corrupt man! Come on....Joe may have his shortcomings but if there is a more honest, empathetic man in Washington I'd like to meet him.

Republicans for Kamala is taking off and includes some high profile former office holders and staffers. This is more than just the usual handful of mid level and obscure officials.
At least three former governors including Jim Edgar of Illinois (1991-1999) have publicly announced their support for the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Nine days into her 2024 candidacy, Vice President Kamala Harris picked a couple of notable Republican endorsements: Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan threw his support behind the Democrat fairly quickly, and John Giles, the mayor of Mesa, Arizona’s third-largest city, endorsed her soon after. Given the state of the cotemporary GOP, it’s not easy for any Democratic candidate to pick up cross-party backing, so this represented a decent start. But hanging overhead was an obvious question: Would other Republicans soon follow? The question received a rather emphatic answer over the weekend. NBC News reported: >> The Harris campaign on Sunday unveiled more than two dozen endorsements from Republicans, including former governors, members of Congress and Trump administration officials. Many of the endorsements came from politicians who were already openly critical of former President Donald Trump, including former Republican Gov. Bill Weld of Massachusetts; former Rep. Denver Riggleman, R-Va.; and former Trump administration press secretary Stephanie Grisham.<< Those names are, of course, just a sampling. According to a press statement from the incumbent vice president’s campaign, Republicans for Harris includes endorsements from former Trump White House officials Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye; former Secretaries Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood; former Governors Jim Edgar, Bill Weld, and Christine Todd Whitman; former U.S. House members Rod Chandler, Tom Coleman, Dave Emery, Wayne Gilchrest, Jim Greenwood, Adam Kinzinger, John LeBoutillier, Susan Molinari, Jack Quinn, Denver Riggleman, Claudine Schneider, Christopher Shays, Peter Smith, Alan Steelman, David Trott, and Joe Walsh; and former GOP State Chair and State Senator Chris Vance, among others. “As a proud conservative, I never thought I’d be endorsing a Democrat for President,” Kinzinger said in a written statement. “But, I know Vice President Harris will defend our democracy and ensure Donald Trump never returns to the White House. Donald Trump poses a direct threat to fundamental American values. He only cares about himself, and his pursuit of power. “That’s what we saw on January 6 when he sent a mob to overturn our lawful election, who violently attacked law enforcement and ransacked our nation’s Capitol in the process,” the former member of the Jan. 6 committee added. “There’s too much at stake to sit on the sidelines, which is why I wholeheartedly endorse Kamala Harris for president. Now is the time for us all to unite to save our democracy and defeat Donald Trump one last time.”

Matt Gertz at MMFA:
Fox News did not air a second of the speeches from alienated GOP leaders and former Trump officials who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris at this week’s Democratic National Convention. The DNC speakers included former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who spoke in prime-time before Harris’ Thursday keynote; former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan; former Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham; Olivia Troye, who served as a homeland security aide to former Vice President Mike Pence; and Mesa, Arizona, Mayor John Giles.
MSNBC and CNN treated those speeches as newsworthy, airing each of them in full, according to a Media Matters review of the networks’ convention coverage. But Fox hid the content of all of those speeches from their viewers, often displaying the video on screen without audio as the network’s on-air hosts and guests offered commentary. It’s not hard to figure out why: Fox is a Trumpist propaganda organ that helped the former president purge the GOP of his critics and is working tirelessly to return him to the White House. The network typically shies away from highlighting dissension in the party’s ranks. Fox virtually ignored former Vice President Mike Pence’s refusal to endorse Trump and former House Speaker Paul Ryan’s denunciation of the former president as “unfit for office” — both of which originated in Fox interviews.
Guess which network refused to show speeches from Republicans and former Trump supporters that spoke at the DNC? It’s GOP propaganda outlet Faux “News.”

Former President Trump wanted to fire the former White House chief usher for helping the Bidens move into the executive mansion, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Why It Matters: Grisham's account indicates that Trump's desire to delay or prevent the transition of power after the 2020 election affected traditionally nonpolitical White House positions.
• The detail was included in a transcript of Grisham's interview with the Select Committee that was released Thursday along with several other interview transcripts, including one from Donald Trump Jr.
What They're Saying: Grisham said Timothy Harleth, the former White House chief usher, "independently" reached out to members of Biden's transition team after Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election and gave them a binder with resources to help the incoming first family, like blueprints so they could order furniture.
• Grisham described Harleth's actions as "the normal stuff that you would do" during a presidential transition," but said he "wasn't really allowed" to talk to Biden's people.
• When Trump and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows found out about Harleth's contact with Biden's team, she said they "wanted to fire him immediately for trying to facilitate that kind of transition."
• "They felt that what Tim did was completely disloyal, and they were not to help at all, or he was not to help at all, and he was almost fired for it," Grisham told the Committee.
• However, Harleth was not fired because former first lady Melania Trump "stepped in and said, no, you're not going to fire him with 3 weeks to go," Grisham said.
The Big Picture: The White House chief usher, traditionally a nonpolitical position, is head of household staff and operations at the executive mansion. Appointed ushers typically serve multiple presidential administrations.
• Harleth, a former employee of the Trump Organization, was chosen to become usher by Melania Trump in 2017.
• Ultimately, Harleth was fired on Inauguration Day even before the Bidens officially moved into the White House, according to the New York Times.
• His firing resulted in a brief awkward moment when Joe and Jill Biden first arrived at the mansion in 2021.
• Since there was no hired usher at the time of their arrival, the Bidens were greeted with a set of closed doors on the North Portico. Typically, the doors would have been held open for the first family.

Trump pretty obviously has contempt for those who swallow what he sells.
Trump is constantly reminded that he is a loser. He takes that shame out on everyone.

Melania is one 'pissed off spouse'
So much for ‘stand by your man’! He’s a liar’s liar The faceless bureaucrats at Blaska Policy Werkes understand why Blaska’s political party will endorse Donald Trump for President next month (the clock is ticking!) in Milwaukee. Cheap gasoline, pure cussedness, and Joe Biden. What my non-tenured pencil-necked geeks cannot understand is why the man hasn’t won the lifetime achievement award…

Paige Skinner at HuffPost:
Stephanie Grisham, Trump’s former White House press secretary, came out strongly against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention. Grisham started her short speech by saying that not only was she a Trump supporter, she was also a “true believer” and one of his “closest advisers,” and that Trump’s family was her family. “I saw him when the cameras were off,” Grisham said. “Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement-dwellers.” She said that one time while Trump was at a hospital visit to see dying patients, he was upset that the camera wasn’t on him. “He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth,” she said. “He used to tell me, ‘It doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough and people will believe you.’” An apparent screenshot of text messages between Grisham and first lady Melania Trump appeared on a large screen as Grisham spoke. The messages show Grisham asking Melania Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, if the first lady wanted to tweet that there is no place for lawlessness and violence.
Grisham said Melania Trump simply responded, “No.” Grisham said she was the first senior staffer to resign that day, as the DNC crowd applauded. “I couldn’t be a part of the insanity any longer,” she said. Grisham never held a typical White House briefing while Trump’s press secretary. On Tuesday, she said that she’d “never wanted to stand at the podium and lie,” unlike Trump.
Former Trump Admin Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham spoke at the DNC in Chicago last night highlighting the reason why she didn’t hold press conferences is that she “never wanted to stand at the podium and lie.”
Grisham revealed why she quit the Trump Administration and left his orbit: Melania Trump refused to respond to her request to post a tweet a message that there is no place for lawlessness and violence in the wake of the insurrection that her husband Donald helped incite with his lies about the 2020 election outcome.

Former Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in her remarks that she wasn't just a Trump supporter, but a "true believer." She’s now backing Harris.
Grisham said that she was the first senior White House staffer to resign on Jan. 6.
"I couldn't be part of the insanity any longer. When I was press secretary, I got skewered for never holding a White House briefing. It's because, unlike my boss, I never wanted to stand at that podium and lie," she said.
