It is my opinion and only my opinion that Trump refused to sit through an interview with our minority Vice President. He chronically complains about her ethnicity. There is no reason to think his obstinance in sharing the same air space with our magnificent Vice President is based in disdain of minority citizens.
I find the support of Former US Rep. Liz Cheney invaluable to the outcome to the 2024 Vote. It is one thing for a Republican to state, "I am not voting for Trump." It is quite another thing for a Republican to state, "I am supporting Kamala Harris for President with my vote." Republicans are welcome to vote for whoever they want in the down ballot, but, if not voting for Trump for president, please, cast the vote for Kamala. The country's democracy is counting on it.
It should be no surprise Kamala Harris has a gun and practices with it. Ask law enforcement people, be it police or lawyers or prosecutors or judges if they take their protection seriously enough to conceal carry. Practicing at a shooting range is vital to safe handling of any gun, but, particularly handguns. I speak from experience. Please don't purchase a gun and stick it in a safe place and never look at it again until the day or night it is needed. Everyone that owns a gun should be practicing regularly with it. Regularly is a matter of building competency and does not require dedicated time weekly or monthly to achieve competency with firearms. Own the gun and own the operations of the gun, your life may depend on it.
Thank you for a very interesting interview, Bill Whitaker.
I have a problem with the idea that Trump is seeding disinformation as a campaign strategy (click here). That idea of normalizing disinformation as a strategy to win an election completely puts the country in danger. This is a campaign for President of the United States of America. If a voter is simply thinking, "Oh, that disinformation is just a campaign strategy," what are they expecting of a president? Competency? Truth telling? Or a comedy routine that masks the seriousness that should be met with the responsibilities of the Oval Office.
I find Trump's misinformation dialogues troubling and frightening. President. He is not President material. NOT AT ALL!
So, when a reputable news agency or journalist normalizes the disinformation as a campaign strategy that eliminates fact checking as a vital component to decision making.
The American democracy is based in truth telling. There are oaths citizens take when making witness in trials that demand them to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. The candidates for office at any level, but, especially the presidency of the USA, should be testifying every day to their policies. It chills me to think Trump could simply give a press conference as he did during the COVID pandemic and normalize injections of bleach, etc. People died because of such irresponsible statements. Young people died because he made them believe COVID was a hoax. DIED. PEOPLE DIED because of Trump's disinformation. What the heck is a journalist thinking when they normalize misinformation? They certainly aren't journalists.
If racist Trump came on "60 Minutes" as he should have to talk to the American people, he would have had to be truthful. Is there any wonder why the Republican Ringmaster of the party's circus was absent?
Thank you Kamala and Tim. You have no idea how wonderful it is to hear both of you speak about the country and the hopes of it's future.
