Harris dares Trump to debate her as she campaigns in Atlanta: “Say it to my face” – CBS News

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-rally-atlanta-megan-thee-stallion/

Good. The language of the school playground:

«”He won’t debate, but he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me,” Harris said. “Well, Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage because, as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face.”»

Just make sure he doesn’t have his “oooh, good one!” chorus when the debate happens.

WSJ remains trash

A North Dakota farmer juxtaposed with suburban women. Questions like “let kids choose their own gender”, “repeal and replace Obamacare”, “build the wall”.

Seriously, Wall Street Journal? Would you like to join us in the present decade, perhaps?

I’m shocked. Shocked!

«The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.

Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.»

MAGA Republicans Launch Racist, Sexist Attacks Against Kamala Harris

I’m not generally a fan of the Rolling Stone, since they get facts wrong and tend a bit toward the frothing leftist screed, but this seems worth keeping in mind (and how can they get verifiable quotes wrong?).

White folks who say, “well, of course, I’m not on board with that kind of ugly language, but, really, how competent IS she?” are just enabling this sort of thing and essentially subscribing to it.

Major city DA, major state attorney general, major state Senator, Vice President. C’mon.

Don’t forget you’re voting for a team, not an individual. Who has Trump surrounded himself with? (Or maybe: who has gathered around Trump? Because I’m not sure he really chose anybody.)

I’m from Appalachia. JD Vance doesn’t represent us – he only represents himself

Hmm, who does this remark really appeal to?
