Barack Obama was elected president 16 years ago, and they are still trying the "Barack Hussein Obama" dog whistle.

So dumb. And so obvious.

That’s his name correct?

You are funny Dutch. You say that as though you don't know what they're doing. You do, of course, unless people regularly call you by your full name. Nobody has referred to me using my middle name since my mother when I was in trouble.

I don't remember them issuing press releases about Joseph Robinette Biden or Kamala Devi Harris.

It’s certainly not required, it’s a name. Cmon man get over it!

I heard Donald John Trump multiple times at the RNC just last week. People are far too hyper sensitive.

Well the “john” certainly fits in all meanings of the word….

Calling out overt racism is not being hypersensitive. When you do the 'it;s not that bad' thing, you are either on a very slippery slope or buying into the racism. People need to do this every single time.

You’re being obtuse.

No redirect just a simple question, no losing argument his name is actually Barack Hussein Obama. I think a Hawaii BC showed that in case you forgot

So is calling VP Harris a border czar a bad thing too? She was put in charge of the border. Would it be more appropriate to call her VP in charge of the border or VP is charge of illegal immigration? Whatever the term, she did, you can agree, an awful job. Even old Lester Holt figured that out.

YOU are doing a great job! I wish everyone on this platform would ignore you and you could crawl back under the rock you came from. People responding to you give you the oxygen and attention you seek and crave. Pass our kudos to the rest of the trumpf campaign. Whatever they pay you is money very well spent.

You are so right. Dutch is a troll and I should have resisted responding. My bad.

Expand full comment

Not craving any oxygen just see this from a different perspective, that’s all. I believe my side will be the winning side. You are certainly entitled to your opinions. Best of luck in November

Ah, classic response to a losing argument. Redirect to something off topic.

You’re just being a typical troll.

Expand full comment

Yes Dutch, it’s bad enough but because calling her border czar is false. She was not in charge of the border.

Expand full comment

She was not put in charge of the border. She was assigned to go to the countries and talk with their leaders, you know diplomacy first as they are also are exporting to partners. She did that. Did you know that Venezuela policy enacted by Trump was what initiated the migration? Cause and effect.

Kamala Harris Was Never Biden’s ‘Border Czar.’

House Republicans succeeded in impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by a single vote over his stewardship of the U.S. immigration system.

So illegal immigration has been taken care of! So glad to hear that.

Trump is scared of debating Harris. (Occam’s Razor - the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.)

I thought I heard chickens this morning then I realized it was just Donald John backing out of debates.

Convicted Felon donald john!

Yeah, Donald John trump is frightened. Getting on that debate stage, on national television, replete with weird hair, a face like a worn-out old saddlebag, in a flappy suit with an absurd necktie and a brain that was at its peak in the 1990’s….standing next to a vibrant, brilliant, attractive and very focused Kamala Harris…it is Donald John Trump’s worst nightmare. He is going to look and sound like a drunk uncle, blathering his lies and being smacked down by the elegant hand of the vice-president. Bring it. And bring the popcorn and snacks.

This has to be his worst nightmare: being publicly humiliated by a woman who is also a POC.

Yup. And for the rest of us…a dream come true!

Amen!

What a message...Race baiting on Obama and cowardly towards Harris...Negative on two fronts.

Expand full comment

Trump is afraid to debate her because she will show that he has no policy and just likes to repeat the same thing over and over. Oh, and let’s not forget his penchant for name-calling and constantly including former President Obama’s middle name. He’s wearing me out and I am tired of him, but I feel that everyone should be listening to his dangerous talk.

I look forward to him citing Hannibal Lecter during a debate and she pointing out that his delusion that this fictional character is real is evidence of his severe cognitive decline.

You wonder now about the wisdom of agreeing to the early debate with Biden for Trump.

If he had waited until the end of August, or the Sept. 10th debate was the first debate, the Democrats would have been locked in to Biden as nominee, and the last three weeks would have been playing out through September.

Instead, Democrats were given a chance to reset, and the face of the campaign has changed significantly. I imagine going forward you will not see candidates agree to pre-convention debates.

Expand full comment

The early debate was such a blessing!

Expand full comment

Yes, Trump is now a bit like the dog that caught the car. He pushed hard for the debates with Biden, figuring (correctly!) that Biden would appear feeble and would be that much more beatable. What he doesn't seem to have anticipated is that Biden would drop out and be replaced by a younger, more energetic and articulate person. So much for being a 3-dimensional chess player!

Trump wants to avoid debates because did you see what happened to the “old guy” in the last one?

Expand full comment

So well deserved!

Expand full comment

Nah, let’s go ahead & say “scared.” 🙂

Chris,

I had no idea you were a skater! must be the Olympics. The linguistic maneuvers employed to resist calling Trump what he is; scared, chicken sh*t scared, are worthy of a gold medal :) (You know i love you). Trump, like all bullies, only picks on those he imagines he has a better than reasonable chance of beating. I think America is ready for the new blockbuster; The Prosecutor V the Felon. get the popcorn ready!!!

Oh yeah!!!😁

If he won't debate then she should ask ABC to pull together a panel to do a town hall Question Time like England does.

Of course he doesn’t want to debate her. Facts win over lies every time - except with his base. Calmness over rants too

Chris, love your stuff as always, but I don’t know if it was a slip of the tongue, but you said Biden showed that he is too old to be president. I know that he showed that he is too old to run for president, but are you implying thy he should step aside immediately?

Expand full comment

I noticed that too.

@Chris, you need to be more precise. Biden is too old to be a candidate for reelection. His is not too old to be president now.

You have to be better Chris.

If Trump doesn't debate her and then loses, it's just one more excuse that he'll have for losing. He'll claim that she wouldn't debate him!

That announcement itself tells us a bundle about Trump and his campaign.

First they’re either living in an alternate reality or they ‘re lying. It’s shocking (certainly against my own expectations as a long- time Democrat) but there is now an absolute minimum of Democratic confusion about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The confusion is clearly in Trump’s campaign about what avenue of attack to take. The high road of attack— on experience and issues — is a little thin. And substantive issues are not things Trump can produce coherent thoughts about. He can just declare her incompetent without any evidence (which he has ) or try to make her the force behind anything Biden ever did (which he has) but that’s not really credible either.

He even had to take two tries (so far)@ giving her a belittling nickname. Somebody must have pointed out that his first try, “laughing Kamala”, sounded like a bit of a compliment. Now he’s trying a retread “ Lying Kamala” which doesn’t fit very well.

Most offensive (and unluckily timed) was trying to put words (Marxist fraud) in Barack Obama’s mouth . Not to mention trotting out the old Hussein to conjure memories of his old “Obama is a muslim furrier” slur. Unlucky that Obama and Michelle gave a warm and full-throated endorsement of Kamala @ essentially the same time.

Trump’s in over his head, he’s got a Vanchor tied on his ankle,there’s a shark in the water, and he can’t see even an electric boat or a sufficiently large scrap of flotsam to climb onto.

Then there’s the support he’s getting from Megyn Kelly and Laura Loomer who think Kamala’s sex life or the state of Kamlala’s uterus will win the argument. (Ick!)

Short summary: Trump got nothin.
