Nobody is "pro-death", "pro-life" is a perjorative misnomer.
This is definitely NOT "less government" interference.
You demean yourself defending the shameless demagogue-devoted cult to which the Republican party has degenerated.

Looks like the President and the soon to be president are hitting the road together up in the Old Line State aka Maryland. Blob's Park, maybe? Sounds like fun.

Bullshit on a shingle.

2) Defeat Trump - which would by any opposing candidate's goal in an election.

Energy policy? More environmentalist solutions? Not sure, since she was against fracking before she was for it. Which may change again after the election. Do we continue to buy the world's oil, continuing to be customers of hostile/less than friendly regimes, or expand our own sources/supplies?

Foreign policy? Are we going to cede more global influence to Russia and China like we have the last 4 years? Are we going to continue to promote the stalemate in the Russian - Ukraine war? Does she have and end-game plan for that war? You guys might not like an "America first" foreign policy, but I like a "globalist" foreign policy even less.

And that's just for starters.

Its little things like this are what I'm curious about. Maybe y'all aren't.
VP Harris has stated repeatedly that she's planning on continuing President Biden's policies. You can easily Google up his website and read to your shriveled hearts content, Michael.

Blob's Park is no longer a thing. It finally shut down in 2007 when the owner retired. It opened in 1933 right after Prohibition was repealed and continued operating until New Years Eve 74 years later.

A blast from the past. Thanks for the memory jog.

I wonder what they're doing in MD. Perhaps giving Alsobrooks a hand in her Senate campaign against Hogan. Hogan's a really good guy - kinda a conservative version of Walz, big-hearted and sensible. He's beloved in MD, but will lose his bid for the Senate because this Blue State is acutely aware of national politics and doesn't want to give up a Senate seat.

Or it could be just a convenient place to meet, in between DC and DE, to show solidarity in their efforts to shitcan the Cheeto Benito.

162 lies and distortions in a news conference. NPR fact checks former President Trump
We fact-checked Trump's recent news conference https://www.npr.org/2024/08/11/nx-s1...ews-conference

My pleasure, Pat. Had some fun times in DelMarVa back in the day. Montgomery Blair keeps spamming me for the 50th anniversary get together. Maybe I'll show up for the 75th? (grin)

See you at the Olney Ale House sometime, if they're still around.

I have been going there off and on for ~40 years, but they had a kitchen fire a few years back and closed. I read that the property sold and will be refurbished and reopened. My older son and I would go there for really inexpensive Chincoteague oysters. Up until they closed a few years back, you could get oysters on the half shell for $6 a dozen, a fourth of what they cost elsewhere. Good place.

Reading Gaol and Benbow's down at Dupont Circle are probably dust too...
Life goes on.
