Trump's proposed tariffs would be very costly to consumers!

A question for those among my followers who were alive and passably politically-aware in the 1980s; was there at all a sense that Reagan might try to stop the 1984 or 1988 elections from taking place?

This election feels like a reality TV show. Trump is even ahead in the polls right now, though I don’t believe he will win. It’s crazy, there’s so much drama, the lead keeps shifting and changing. But we need to remember that this is real life, the outcome of this election will affect all of us for decades. The entire world for decades. Get out and vote, make your voice heard, don’t get complacent, don’t get lethargic, and don’t get apathetic. Vote, talk, debate. Volunteer, organize, do whatever you can with whatever you have. Vote Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the White House! And get informed.

Jonathan Nicholson at HuffPost:

The Kamala Harris campaign seized on a comment earlier this week from Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance deriding efforts to retool a Michigan auto plant as mere “table scraps.” “Apparently 650 families’ livelihood is just ‘table scraps’ there,” said Gene Sperling, an economic advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris, in a video conference call with reporters on Thursday. On Tuesday, Vance attacked a program that would spend $500 million to help overhaul a Lansing, Michigan, auto plant that used to produce Chevrolet Camaros so that it can instead build electric vehicles.

“What we’ve said is that Kamala Harris is offering table scraps. Five-hundred million dollars when you have an EV mandate that’s going to cost 117,000 autoworker jobs,” Vance said, citing figures from a study by the America First Policy Institute, a think tank staffed by several prominent Trump administration alumni. “I think that Michigan autoworkers deserve more than the table scraps of Kamala Harris’s Green New Deal,” he added. The $500 million grant would be part of a larger $1.7 billion program aimed at revamping 11 auto plants to make electric cars or components of them as part of the Joe Biden administration’s effort to speed up the conversion of Americans’ internal combustion-powered cars to more efficient and reliable electric ones. Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers, also criticized Vance’s remarks. “It’s going to secure us 650 jobs,” Fain said, citing a GM estimate that 650 jobs would be saved. “Vance refuses to commit to the funding and what his offer would be to workers because their offer is nothing.”

The Harris campaign calls out JD Vance’s disingenuous “table scraps” attack against the retooling of the Lansing, MI General Motors (GM) plant to produce electric vehicles.

VP Kamala Harris visited with Stephen Colbert. The convo is in several segments which continue below. Imagine commercials in between the segments.

In this segment she talks about the need for a ceasefire in Gaza and about how Trump kowtows to dictators even to the extent that he gave Putin COVID testing devices when they were still scarce in the US.

Here she talks about changes she would make in economic policy. She also talks about choosing Tim Walz as a running mate.

On a more social note, the VP shares a beer with Stephen. Mike Pence gets polite applause when mentioned.

Prospective Trump Shadow-President, illegal immigrant & greedy bastard, Elon Musk, Admits He & DonOLD Trump Plan to Tank US Economy Completely Before Trying to Gradually Build It Over Years

[scumscream]

if you defend your trump vote by claiming you "support abortion rights" and "have a trans partner" while you're actively encouraging him to detransition . . .

hmm

[chemicalarospec]

Average American: I hate women and people of color and trans people and gay people and immigrants and non-Christians. And I don't believe in climate change.

Leftists who think this is going to push the Democrats left after an incredibly progressive VP pick lost and the sitting administration has been supporting worker's rights, fixing the economy, and making good progress (ex in climate policy): They did this because the Democrats are too centrist.
