No, the real problem her is the Republican Party. In a parallel universe where the media is right-leaning, the Democrats would not have let this slide. Walz would have been dragged into court. The Democrats in the state legislature would be calling for impeachment and disrupting legislative business. Problem is, the Republicans were too busy trying to figure out how to cripple Trump without the stupid voters catching on. They're too busy trying to make us forget about the border and pay attention to tax cuts (apparently, Republicans believe the government should be funded by inflation alone).

Oh so here's why Kumala hasn't given any policy proposals yet
I guess enough people are young enough now to not remember what price controls do, since the last time they were tried was by Jimmy Carter
Better not lose your government grocery ID card that only lets you buy groceries a single day of the week, or you won't be allowed to buy any at all smdh. Also enjoy your weekly purchases being capped at $100 which will buy enough food for about four days at current consumption. Oh well I guess a lot of FAT people will be losing a little weight out of it

Vance should have kept his mouth shut on single childless women they are the biggest richest demographic in USA. There is a mid point between pandering and antagonising and thats not mentioning it. He is going to get curbstomped by any democrat crying out about he wanting women to be back to being chattel owned by their fathers and husbands
Vance is literal gift to the democratic party all they have to do is put his words on repeat and how he wants to take away their voting rights because they chose not to have children and how he hates women . Then let bunch of fake or real profiles with maga in them accounts how they are going to repeal the 19th.
Keep in mind the average woman when she opens the internet for the past year reads bunch of men hating on " liberal weatern women" for anything they do and vance somehow managed to make himself the face of it. No amount of good policies will help when you know that the people in charge hate you for who you are. Just ask the democratic party how it worked out for them with the old white men thing.
You just pissed of at very least 25 % of the population. There is nothing more that causes a visceral reaction in women than an ugly manlet telling them they should go back to the kitchen and their only role in society should be shitting out kids and caring for grandkids once done with kids all while his pajeeta yale educated wife is still a practicing lawyer. Telling anyone in the current year that their value in society is solely derived to be mothers and wifes while they are around 50% of the workforce will piss off anyone let alone women.

After Buffet liquidated his Apple position, he's now going again. Looks like the Billionaires are slowly and quietly pulling out.
Did someone tell them something?

Liquidating your position means selling 100%, not 49%. But yeah, tech is soft. Nobody's making money on AI, and everybody's investing insane amounts of money with no path to revenue. The reasoning is pure FOMO.

Minneapolis to pay $1.5 million to man police shot at with less-lethal rounds from unmarked van
Star Tribune (archive.ph)

Jaleel Stallings (Provided/Star Tribune)
The city of Minneapolis has agreed to pay $1.5 million plus legal fees to a 29-year-old St. Paul man found not guilty last year on charges related to shooting at police officers during the unrest that followed the murder of George Floyd in 2020.
In the days after Floyd's killing, with a curfew in effect, police officers roving in an unmarked van shot plastic bullets at Jaleel Stallings without warning. The event was documented in body-camera footage released by Stallings' lawyer after his story was first reported by the Minnesota Reformer. Stallings returned fire with a pistol, which he had a permit to legally carry, in what he later described as an attempt to defend himself against shots from unknown assailants.
A swarm of officers descended on Stallings. Body-camera and security footage shows him surrendering once police identify themselves, and the officers punching and kicking him repeatedly while he was face down in a parking lot.
After a jury found him not guilty of attempted murder and assault, Stallings filed a federal lawsuit asserting that 19 Minneapolis officers violated his constitutional rights by using force to intimidate and deter him from protesting police brutality and racism. The city attorney offered a settlement in the case, which Stallings accepted, according to court documents filed Tuesday. The offer says the city and police are not admitting liability and that they "expressly deny the validity of [Stallings] claims."
In an interview Tuesday, Stallings said he's satisfied with the outcome, because it "validates the harm" he faced.
"But it's disappointing, because the goal of the civil suit was not a check," he said. "It was getting justice and accountability. And I don't feel like I've received that. I don't feel like anything has been done to hold the officers accountable or change the culture of policing that leads to these incidents."
In a statement, Deputy Minneapolis City Attorney Erik Nilsson said his office agreed to the settlement in consultation with the City Council. "The city hopes that an early resolution to this matter will allow all of the parties to move forward," he said.
The body-camera footage released by Stallings' lawyer, Eric Rice, showed the police response to the unrest from the point of view of officers patrolling the streets of south Minneapolis firing without provocation or warning at passersby. Lt. Johnny Mercil can be heard saying he believed a group of protesters were white "because there's not looting," while Cmdr. Bruce Folkens boasted about "hunting people." Both have since left the department.
"I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to release that body-cam footage to the public so they could see and come to their own opinions and conclusions about what happened that night, how police were using force throughout those riots," said Stallings.
The footage also showed a starkly different version of the Stallings encounter than the police narrative.
On May 30, 2020, just before 11 p.m., the officers were driving down Lake Street, with an officer firing plastic bullets from the open sliding door of the unmarked van. "Go home!" the officers shouted at people after shooting at them.
Stallings was standing in a parking lot with two other men. The Army veteran later said he thought someone from the dark cargo van was shooting real bullets, referring to warnings that day from Gov. Tim Walz that white supremacists were stalking the city in unmarked vehicles. Stallings took cover behind a truck and fired back, hitting the police van, the video shows.
Police raced over to Stallings, identifying themselves. Footage shows Stallings dropping face down on the ground, setting his gun aside. Police strike him repeatedly, screaming obscenities, until his face is battered and blood is spilled on the pavement. "You [expletive] shoot the cops?!"
"Who are our shooters?" an officer asks another on the scene.
"Nobody — he shot at us," replies the other, falsely.
Stallings was charged with eight felonies, including two counts of attempted murder, rioting and assault with a dangerous weapon. In the criminal complaint, the officers said they kicked Stallings because he resisted arrest.
Stallings said prosecutors offered him a plea deal that included 12 years in prison. He said he believed he was innocent, and he couldn't live with himself taking a plea. A jury found Stallings not guilty by reason of self defense last year on all counts. "It has completely been a 180" since then, he said.
Many of Stallings' claims in the lawsuit about the police department's culture were echoed by a Minnesota Department of Human Rights report published last month, which found a pattern of racist policing in the Minneapolis Police Department.
"Jaleel's case is not a one-off incident," said Rice. "This came out of a policing culture that is talked about in that report. Our focus now is to work to make sure this doesn't happen again, that there is a culture shift and that our efforts in this case can be used to improve the system, and make the criminal justice system focused on justice."
Stallings moved out of state a month ago. "I just didn't feel comfortable staying in Minnesota out of fear of retaliation," he said.
This is the latest in a flurry of expensive payouts from the city related to police misconduct lawsuits stemming from the protests and riots following Floyd's killing. Last month, the City Council approved a total of $1.8 million to two women who say police shot them in the face with projectiles while they peacefully protested Floyd's murder. The city agreed to pay $2.4 million in March to Soren Stevenson, who lost his left eye to a 40mm blunt-impact projectile while standing with a group of protesters before police issued a dispersal order.

I doubt he would have been found not guilty and offered a settlement if he was White.

The problem the i want to speak with the manager karens is not just women nor is childlessness just women . Not to mention plenty of women just didn't happen for them just like for men . You going after people like that in the current year where dating is literal hell for everyone and then singling out women will make everyone pissed . I was like great someone will tell the progressive loonies to shut up not to replace them with equally bad conservative ones . Especially their mouthpiece has until very recently a very career oriented wife .

After reading the JOYful posts from the overnight hours, here's a few reminders:
1) Vote, especially for the down ballots. The federal government isn't in charge of everything. Want to see change happen? Pay attention to your state and locals, and don't let the federal clowns distract you.
2) Boomers/silent generation still believe that the TV people know better than we do. I literally heard this in irl. Walter Conkrite, Peter Jennings, and Tom Brokaw would never lie or twist the truth, thus Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, and that chick from CNN wouldn't either.
3) You can't reason with unreasonable people. See #2, also remember that applies to real world interactions. Let them live in their propaganda constructed fantasy world. Focus on things you can control and save your energy for open minded, uninformed people.
4) Touch grass. Start a gratitude journal. Get outside and get some Vitamin D. Take a break from politics and watch some funny cat videos or something. Better yet, get a pet (like one poster said) or volunteer at the animal shelter. The propagandists want you in a constant state of fight or flight so they can manipulate emotions. I'm 100% convinced that most politicians and journalists are drama queens that love to stir the pot. Ever met a person who likes to throw a figurative bomb in a group situation that gets everyone arguing and mad at each other, and then they walk away laughing while you're trying to figure out what just happened? That's who they are. They get off on it. Don't let them control you.
Back to the clown show--I initially thought Auntie Kamala would let Uncle Tim do all the talking to the press, a little bit like Vance does for Trump but for different reasons. But he's not doing interviews either, is he? So not only has no one voted for them to be candidates, it's possible they might end up doing a virtual type convention because of the possibility of Palestinian supporter riots? Or will they put up the barriers and clear the decks then blame it on right wing MAGATs by saying they were getting threats against "democracy"?
