Kirk Gallaway Posted Wednesday at 06:02 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:02 AM (edited) Well, it was quite a leap. When Joe endorsed her, any other potential candidates probably felt that they'd be seen as ambitious troublemakers if they immediately put their hat in the ring. Harris first said she's going to earn it, and then she went out to the delegates, and in one day got the nomination. So I guess she did! But as I posted earlier in the other thread. It looks like she's fitting in perfectly with my role and using her prosecutorial instincts to stick it to Trump! Looking good there! 11 hours ago, W.

I bought the DVD partly because Joni's backing band was Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, and Jaco Pastorius (!) but the concert also includes some backing vocals by the Persuasions. Wow W.! Was that in Santa Barbara? I saw Joni, with Metheney, Mays and Pastorius earlier in SF. in 79. She was doing mostly from Hejira which I thought was a great album! Jim Di: This is nutty, she was in office for like 17 years. DA in Frisco, AG in California, and then senator. Ahem, yes, "nutty." Hey Cliff, and Joe, I don't want to get you in trouble. "Frisco kid",??? Jim Di, "strictly Socal homey" from Erie, motivated by the Disneyland Dream! Ok, no big deal! But he's been here for 40 years! Maybe Brancato can serve as a California docent and have a talk with him. heh heh Yes you called it Cliff, Congrats!, 😆 that was his intention, but alas. Too wacko for even Maga!

Cliff Varnell Posted Wednesday at 06:36 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:36 AM (edited) Nothing wrong with "Frisco." "The girls are frisky in old Frisco." It's "San Fran" that's a problem. Edited Wednesday at 06:40 AM by Cliff Varnell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Gallaway Posted Wednesday at 08:42 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:42 AM (edited) Hmmm, Are you saying Jim likes frisky women? I'll have to think about that. Heh heh, yeah I like that song too. It 'does have an innocence. From South Bend?, makes sense. Cliff: It's "San Fran" that's a problem. Well Cliff, some here will think you're being blasphemous!

W. Niederhut Posted Wednesday at 11:58 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:58 AM Kirk, Yes, Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light concert was filmed at the Santa Barbara Bowl. I saw her at Red Rocks in about (?) 1984, but Metheny, Mays, and Pastorius weren't there. Most people probably know that Jaco recorded those fretless bass tracks on Hejira.

Steve Thomas Posted Wednesday at 12:31 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:31 PM Kamala Harris makes Donald Trump do the one thing he fears most: Get up and get out With Kamala Harris running, Donald Trump needs to actively campaign — and not just in MAGA country By AMANDA MARCOTTE https://www.salon.com/2024/07/24/kamala-harris-makes-donald-do-the-one-thing-he-fears-most-get-up-and-get-out/ "With Harris as the Democratic nominee, however, Trump is caught in a no-win situation. If he continues to hang back from the campaign trail while she's out there hustling, he'll start inviting the questions about whether he's too old and weak, the exact questions that plagued Biden. But if he starts doing more media and events that are outside the MAGA bubble, he will draw negative attention and remind voters why they hate him. In the face of this paradox, Trump's first impulse was to keep pretending Biden is his opponent. As reality sets in, Trump's freaking out. " "Trump's entire strategy was based on the assumption of an opponent who didn't have the energy to fight back. Without that, Trump's in serious trouble."

Bill Fite Posted Wednesday at 12:58 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:58 PM Quote Where Kamala Harris stands on Green New Deal and climate initiatives Harris previously indicated she would make the climate crisis a top priority. I'm hoping she hammers this home and makes it a top priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Bill, California is a huge Green state. But there's an underlying trend that people are being silent about. The big money corporate state has now determined that the U.S. is going to have to seriously beef up their energy needs to accompany new huge AI data centers and crypto mining, so who suffers? The environment! This whole short term thinking about climate change is now being quietly pedaled as a necessary risk! That's why the Biden and the Dems have touted the fact that we are now producing more energy than ever to counteract Republican false claims. No one wants to be on the wrong side of the issue! Economically, this is very good for Texas, North Dakota and the energy producing states. But for the world, it's a mess! Efforts have to be redoubled! If elected, we'll see with how much teeth, Harris resists. But with Trump and the GOP, the environment will be lead to slaughter like the Palestinians!
