"...faded Bernie..."

The last political sign I displayed said "McGovern"

How appropriate, old liberal

Noem backpedals on anecdote in book about meeting with Kim Jong Un
Noem's spokesperson said "two small errors" will be corrected.

... I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I'm sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I'd been a children's pastor, after all)," Noem continued.

Now, her team is trying to clean up that misleading story, suggesting, "Kim Jong Un was included in a list of world leaders and shouldn't have been," Noem's spokesman Ian Fury said in a statement to ABC News. The statement doesn't underscore why the South Dakota governor elaborated on the purported meeting with Kim.

Counts as a new lie.

She also describes an interaction with Haley over the phone in the summer of 2021 during which the former U.N. ambassadors allegedly said she would be Noem's mentor and would tell Noem anything bad she heard about her -- which Noem says she took as a threat....

Haley spokesperson Chaney Denton confirmed to ABC News that Haley's calendar shows the two spoke on the phone in 2020, not 2021.

"Nikki has long called and written notes supporting other women when they go through challenging times. She called Governor Noem in 2020 to encourage her when she was criticized for keeping her state open during COVID," Denton said. "How she would twist that into a threat is just plain weird."

There will be corrections to these "two small errors" to all future editions before next week's release date, Fury said.

"The book has not been released yet, and all future editions will be corrected," Fury said.

Ironically, Noem's book is titled "No Going Back". Oppsie...

Give credit for a lame attempt at humour, but did she really compare dealing with a dictator who kills off his own family members to dealing with children in a church group? Seriously? I'm thinking these won't be the last ummm "errors" that need correcting. Maybe the people of South Dakota (with a population about the size of Charlotte NC) will decide she is the error.

That's further evidence that she never met with him at all.

The Governor of the State of South Dakota is ... popularly elected every four years by a plurality and is limited to two consecutive terms.

Noem was elected to her 2nd term in 2022. Back to Congress (2011-19) would feel like a demotion. Senate, if there's an opening?

Cowardly Uncle Tim.

During an appearance on "Face the Nation," the governor acknowledged edits had been made but wouldn't go much further.

Coward.

'Nuts And Clearly Disturbed': New RFK Jr. Spot Has Absolutely Bonkers Opening
Critics are wondering how and why this new video from the independent presidential candidate ever got released.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spends the first minute and change of his new promotional video trashing an unexpected candidate: himself.

The new 30-minute spot features the independent presidential candidate reading attacks on himself, almost like a Jimmy Kimmel “Mean Tweets” segment. But instead criticism from randos on social media, Kennedy reads attacks from analysts, pundits and media critics....

“I wouldn’t vote for that guy, either,” says Kennedy.

Much of the rest of the video is narrated by actor Woody Harrelson, who attempts to reintroduce the candidate by painting him as an environmentalist and outdoorsman ready to take on corporate interests....

That's a shame. I think less of Woody now. Is he also a COVIDiot?

Republicans against Trump

I can't believe RFK Jr. actually released this…

Everything he said is true

It's like advertising a movie with highlights from all of the worst reviews for it.

was this supposed to help him?

More proof that RFK Jr. is running a disorganized, amateurish campaign. Most of the things that the media has said about him are true. He's trying to say it's so over the top that it has to be lies, but the media has been pretty accurate. He's supremely weird.

Dear team @RobertKennedyJr,

Free comms pro tip — do not do this.

Can’t argue with his new campaign ad.

Same.

He identifies as an "anarchist", whatever that means and yeah, he's anti vax.

Are there mini-Trumps running for your local elections where you all are from? I'm seeing a lot of them this year. Lots of superlatives and empty references to "the swamp" and "wokeness" and what not. So annoying. Trump is poison.

AFAIK, that's been going on for years. See MTG, Boebert, Cawthorn etc.

National elections for sure, but I didn't see it quite as much for local elections. Maybe I just missed it. For example, some local guy running for state rep calling Columbia "the swamp". Lol what!?

It probably has gotten worse, but it seems like a common thread along with the screwball rhetoric is to be completely devoid of actual policies or even a glimmer of ideas to actually improve the quality of life for their would be constituents.

But they know their audience of uneducated white, angry middle class voters.

[O Really]

We had some idiot running for a state representative seat who claimed he was going to singlehandedly "clean up Sacramento" and (I guess in his spare time) "protect the border" and "lower gas prices." I think he finished maybe 4th in a 5-person race. I thought it would have been fun to ask him a few questions - like exactly what role did he think a state rep had in immigration or determining immigration law. And did his plan for Sacramento include a new waste disposal contract and did it include doing something about pollutants in the Sacramento River like methylmercury, microplastics, chemical pesticides from agricultural industries, dead republicans and other sewage overflow that results in elevated E. coli levels.

Sometimes I wish I could get inside these people's heads to see what their true intentions are. Do they believe the bullshit they say? I'm sure some do. Others it's likely as simple as a raw desire for power and nothing more, and whatever they can spew to achieve that no matter how outlandish is fair game. Example: Senator Tim Scott when asked whether he'd accept the results of the 2024 presidential election no matter who the victor is. He refused to simply answer "yes".

That would be the Senator Tim Scott who got his job as a gift, right?

I continue to be totally amazed that so many people don't see all the impossible things that would have to occur for their "beliefs" to be true.
