Holy crap did you watch that interview? Bash asked Harris a question and rather than looking at the interviewer Harris would look down while she answered as if she was looking at a script.

I did not watch the interview. I can not stomach Harris and her voice. Trump is not much better for me either. Anyway, she always looks away when answering. Some folks have pointed that out. Probably was a teleprompter on the floor. I understand Walz was basically the "Amen Brother" after her answers and just smiled the entire time.

I had more important things to do then watch this scripted BS. I'm glad to say my sock drawer is organized now.

One thing about Trump is he will let you know what’s on his mind and as those poor souls at the RNC found out doesn’t shut up until someone drags him off stage.

Yes, Trump does speak his mind. None of this should be a surprise to anyone. Yet, the media reports on Trump like this is all new to everyone. If I hear "democracy will be gone if Trump wins" one more time my head will fall off. He will start a war!! None of this happened the 4 years he was president.

And that's exactly what MAGA says about Harris isn't it? Let's see, "you will not have a country again" or some such.

You are not comprehending here. It is the same old song and dance from 2016. Democracy will be gone. He will start a war. NONE of this happened. But the talking heads are going to chant it again anyway. It is broken record.

OK, since some of you- with strong opinions- didn't bother to watch or listen to the Harris/Walz interview, here's a fair break down from some former GOP talking heads.



It should be noted that Tim's high water mark was as the speech writer/handler of Sarah Palin. So, you need to take a lot of what he says as Sour Grapes.

What did we see, if we bothered to watch the interview? Harris and Walz are Democrats running on a Centrist platform. That's about as boring as it gets because Centrists don't believe in giving one person or group the entire pie.
As long as everybody is mostly happy, they win. That means not giving in to the loonies on either fringe.

Some of CNN's questions were pretty dumb. That's because CNN has always been the "Let's watch 'em fight" channel for politics. I was hoping to hear a question or two on the subjects of Ukraine/Russia, Palestine/Israel, and Taiwan/China or how they would improve the armed forces in general, but that was aiming pretty high in this setting.

So, did Harris and Walz tap dance over the entire interview? Yeah, pretty much. Again, they are running a Centrist campaign with a Centrist agenda. What did you expect? The last thing they were going to do was provide fertilizer for the MAGA hit squad and the FSB.

Bands/Artists that have objected to the use of their music at Trump rallies include...

Abba

John Fogerty
Eddy Grant
R.E.M.
Guns N’ Roses
Rolling Stones
Neil Young
Linkin Park
Black Sabbath
Prince
Tom Petty
Aerosmith
Smiths
Beyonce
Celine Dion
Foo Fighters

It's almost as if a conspiracy is afoot.

Running a Centrist platform because she is to far left we can't see her. Her voting records shows this. She is not fooling anyone. Well, some. She does not get to change overnight for votes. But trying This is a bait and switch. She might as well be running in the Republican ticket because she is mirroring Trump. But that will change as soon as she is in office.

I believed many find life easier if they stay out of politics Taylor Swift can sway a lot of votes. She stays out of it. Probably a good idea. But, there is a Swifties for Harris group.

Beyonce as well, blocked Trump but has allowed Harris

I think Beyonce was supposed to show up at the DNC. She didn't. She was a Obama fan from what I recall. But hey, Kid Rock like Trump. A few others in the music industry.

[Jimbuna]

The thing is, if these artists own the rights to their work which they obviously do, they can and will dictate who they allow.

Sad day when music and politics clash but then again I suppose you could add a whole lot more subjects to the list.

No, I mentioned this to you a long time ago.
I wrote that if you took a deep look into Harris and her political beliefs, you would find a lot of things to like.
She was really tough on crime as a prosecutor, meaning that she put all kinds of criminals in jail. That made her a tough sell in her own party.

Don't rely on the Russian troll farms and GOP rat bleepers, be honest with yourself and make your own decision.

You mean the woman who put pot smokers in jail but giggled when asked if she smoked weed. Tough on crime gets you so far. How does she do on the economy? How is the border doing? Right now crime is very low on my list. She does not cut it for running a country.
