What do y'all think of this hat?

I decided to browse for Kamala Harris merchandise and this popped up:



It comes in several different colors and color combinations, but this is the one I like best for me. I like it because it's subtle, and because cats, but I'm not sure if it's a little too subtle. I want people to be able to tell what it means, you know?

I can't order it for a few days, because we're between Social Security checks, so I don't have to decide right away. Also, I've just started looking, so I'm in no rush.

Here's the link where it can be purchased: https://www.teepublic.com/hat/63648140-kamala-harris-2024-cat-lady#3325P63648140D55V

He is incapable of connecting with anyone in a personal way.

That's because he has no interest in other people beyond what they can do for him. As a sociopath, people are props to be used to make him look good, or tools to be used to accomplish something he wants to accomplish. Often both at the same time.

He has no concept of other people's feelings or needs and no interest in such things. In his eyes, everyone is either on his side or against him, nothing in between. "Against him" can mean a wide range of things to him, from disagreeing with him about anything whatsoever to being unwilling to commit crimes for him.

Kamala, of course, is the exact opposite. She seems to have the same knack Joe has, of taking a real interest in the person she is speaking to and making them feel special and important. These little clips of her interacting with voters on the campaign trail remind me ao much of ones we've seen of him.

Tim Walz has that same ability to connect with people on a personal way, and I believe that is is going to be one of the Harris-Walz campaign's super powers. Kamala and Tim are both really good at making people feel listened to, cared about, and important, and I think this country is hungry for leaders that make them feel that way. That's what a lot of the enthusiasm and, yes, the joy are about, imo.

TSF and Shady Vance have no idea of how respond, because they're both mean-spirited trolls with shriveled little black hearts. They can't comprehend things like caring about other people and wanting to do good things to make people's lives better. They can't comprehend the kind of joy the Harris-Walz campaign is creating, and they never will.

That's why Kamala and Tim are going to win this thing!

I just wonder how bad it will have to get...

...before the MSM (outside of MSNBC) stops pretending that everything he does is perfectly normal, showing him a ridiculous amount of deference, asking him only softball questions, snd letting him get away with not even answering those?

Yes I'm talking about that silly excuse for a presser at Mar-a-Lago.

No, I am NOT holding my breath.

And every event like this chips away just a tiny bit more at what little is left of his sanity!

Every big rally like this, every poll that's favorable to Harris, every single scrap of positive news about the Harris Walz campaign chips away just a little bit more.

He'll keep lying and denying, of course, but he'll look sillier and sillier every time...and he'll get weaker and weaker.

Chip... chip... chip....

I know, right?

The only speech he's going to make WHEN he loses will be a repeat of his "Frankly, we DID win this election" lie fest from 2020. Remember this?



Get ready for a replay, because we all know it's going to happen!

Gov. JB Pritzker signs legislation ending Illinois grocery tax in 2026

CBS Chicago


CHICAGO (CBS) -- Gov. JB Pritzker on Monday signed legislation eliminating Illinois' 1% tax on groceries starting in 2026.

Pritzker had proposed eliminating the state's 1% sales tax on groceries as part of his 2025 budget plan, saying the tax is regressive and hurts low-income Illinoisans.

The Illinois General Assembly approved the legislation to eliminate the grocery tax in May when it approved Pritzker's budget plan. With Pritzker now having signed off on the plan to eliminate the grocery tax, it will be repealed statewide on Jan. 1, 2026.

So pleased by this news - I just wish it was gong to happen sooner than 2026!

This line reminds me of the one my husband and i waited in to see Obama and Biden

It was their first rally together, August 23, 2008, held outside the Old State Capitol in Springfield, IL (the same location where Obama had announced his run for the Democratic nomination).

I don't know how long that line was, but it definitely snaked for blocks. We ended up being so far away we could barely see them, but it was SO worth it!

Leaving the U.S. might look like a good idea to him at that point.

Buut I have to wonder what country would welcome him with open arms.

People joke all the time about him going to Russia, but I doubt Putin would want him. Trump may think they're bosom buddies, but I think Putin will completely lose interest in him once it's clear he'll never be potus again.

If he starts looking for places to flee to, I think he will be shocked to find out how few real friends he has. The foreign leaders who were so cordial to him when he was in power will not be nearly so cordial when he's a powerless fugitive from justice. The U.S. is a powerful nation, and I don't think many heads of state will be eager to flip us the bird in such a blatant way.

Pretty sure they're not trying to get on our bus.

After all the name of the group is Republicans for Harris.

I for one am very happy to know that there are Republicans who clearly see the danger of Trump and are willing to band together to help bring him down; in fact, I consider this pretty awesome news. We need all the help we can get to smash that big orange bug once and for all.

These people are obviously not trying to join our side on anything else, but if any of them did decide to leave the Republican Party and become Democrats, I would welcome them with open arms. I think it would be silly not to.

He is such a pathetic weirdo loser!

All he knows how to do is spew cheap, petty, childish, playground level taunts. And he actually thinks this ridiculous garbage makes him look like a big, strong, macho man!

What's even wilder is that he has cultists who evidently also think this dreck makes him look like a big, strong, macho man! I can only conclude that joining a cult like his requires a willingness to keep one's eyes firmly shut to even the tiniest crumb of evidence that the dear leader is in actuality a babbling moron.
