    Was there a repub equivalent? You know, a former dem administration official speaking of the horrors of the administration with which they served?Maybe they can sue her for slander but then again, it would require POOTWH being deposed and he’d probably identify her as his ex-wife. From WaPo:

    Among the more eyebrow-raising speakers Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention was a former Trump administration official: Stephanie Grisham, who previously served as press secretary to Donald Trump as well as chief of staff to first lady Melania Trump.

    In brief remarks at the beginning of Tuesday night’s programming, Grisham first laid out her Trump bona fides: She wasn’t just a supporter of the former president, she said, but “a true believer” and one of his closest advisers.

    “The Trump family became my family. I spent Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s at Mar-a-Lago. I saw him when the cameras were off,” Grisham said.

    Grisham claimed that, behind closed doors, Trump mocked his supporters as “basement dwellers” and once, on a hospital visit, he was upset that cameras were focused on intensive care unit patients rather than on him.

    “He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth,” she said. “He used to tell me, ‘It doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie. Say it enough, and people will believe you.’”

    Grisham said her last straw was the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, when a pro-Trump mob overran the U.S. Capitol seeking to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral win. The violent attack resulted in the death of five people, including a police officer and a woman shot by police. Two other officers who were on duty that day later died by suicide, and more than 100 officers were injured.

    “On Jan. 6, I asked Melania if we could at least tweet that while peaceful protest is the right of every American, there’s no place for lawlessness and violence. She replied with one word: ‘No,’” Grisham said. Behind her, an image of the alleged text conversation flashed on a screen.

    Grisham said she became the first senior Trump staffer to resign that day because she “couldn’t be part of the insanity any longer.” There would be several more Trump staffers who cited the Capitol attack as reason to quit the administration.

    Grisham said Tuesday she was advocating for a Democrat at the convention because she loved her country more than her party.

    “Kamala Harris tells the truth, she respects the American people and she has my vote,” Grisham said.

    Her remarks received a warm reception and loud applause from the Democratic crowd — as well as a rebuke from the Trump campaign.

    “Stephanie Grisham is a stone cold loser who clearly suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and many other mental issues,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in an email, in response to her speech. “She’s a liar and a fraud, and it’s laughable she’s willing to step behind a podium at the DNC but was too scared to step behind the podium at the White House.”

    The Trump family has distanced themselves from Grisham since she left the Trump administration, but especially after Grisham published a memoir in 2021 in which she called working for the former president a “classic abuse relationship.” At the time, a Trump spokeswoman dismissed the book as an attempt to “cash in … and sell lies about the Trump family,” while a representative for Melania Trump called Grisham “a deceitful and troubled individual who doesn’t deserve anyone’s trust.”

    Grisham has been among several Republicans to agree to speak at the convention to encourage people to vote for Harris over Trump. Others have included John Giles, the mayor of Mesa, Ariz., and former Illinois congressman Adam Kinzinger, one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump.

    so Mr. big Bad “You’re Fired” was so displeased that she was scared to have a press briefing so therefore her speech yesterday is disqualifying, he let her stay in that job for a year? I don’t buy it.

    Yeah and it wasn't her call to not have press conferences. It was a really odd time for sure. I remember them going for a long time with no conferences which makes the current narrative of Harris not talking to the press really rich.

    WAY buried in an Inquirer article about Trump's "remarks on the economy" in York, PA - because who cares what the actual workers say???

    https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/donald-trump-york-pennsylvania-fracking-20240819.html

    In addition, the union that represents workers at Precision Custom Components also panned Trump’s campaign stop.

    Brian Bryant, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), in a statement blamed Trump for the closure of dozens of manufacturing plants during his presidency and said his tax policy “accelerated job losses, eroded the foundation of American manufacturing and devastated the IAM union.”

    “Donald Trump had his chance, and he failed us,” Bryant said.

    WASHINGTON, May 31, 2024 – Brian Bryant, International President of the 600,000-member International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), has been appointed by President Biden to serve on the President’s Export Council, a U.S. governmental organization that serves as the principal national advisory committee on international trade.

    and? he says the PREVIOUS admin failed his union and theres issue with a board or advisory council he currently sits on?
    Not at all. Point is the guy is a Biden appointee. Of course he will criticize Trump.

    While I didn't like Bush, he at least was a person with emotions. I disagreed with most of his policies, just like I disagreed with McCain and Romney, but overall they were decent human beings. You're trying to create an equivalency that can't be compared based on the chaos of the current GOP. I never thought there'd be a worse candidate/president than Bush, but fuck, they went off the chart. So losing all prior GOP nominees besides current fringe supporters looking to stay relevant is crazy.

    I mean, I would be happy never to see or hear from the Clinton's again, but whatever, I understand their role and the messaging of dems hasn't drastically shifted in the last 30 years.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You seem really concerned about the issues affecting every day Americans. You should write Congress about the tampon crisis in boy's restrooms.

    I agree with everything you say here. My other posts are tongue in cheek but I do think it speaks to how overblown rhetoric is in the moment. Posting "W is a decent human being" here in 2007 say would have got you flambéd.

    True. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Quite the contrast in conventions thus far.
    Indeed. Heard they ran out of tampons in five of the Men's Restrooms.
    You seem really concerned about the issues affecting every day Americans. You should write Congress about the tampon crisis in boy's restrooms. 
    I am very concerned about the issues. Thanks to Harris/Biden, many are suffering.

    You should write them a strongly worded letter.

    While I didn't like Bush, he at least was a person with emotions. I disagreed with most of his policies, just like I disagreed with McCain and Romney, but overall they were decent human beings. You're trying to create an equivalency that can't be compared based on the chaos of the current GOP. I never thought there'd be a worse candidate/president than Bush, but fuck, they went off the chart. So losing all prior GOP nominees besides current fringe supporters looking to stay relevant is crazy.

    I mean, I would be happy never to see or hear from the Clinton's again, but whatever, I understand their role and the messaging of dems hasn't drastically shifted in the last 30 years.

    Disagree...saying "W is a brilliant man" might have but he was and is a decent person which is obvious. People mostly had issues with Darth Cheney.

    My issue with W was cutting taxes and going to war at the same time. Just stupid and not fiscally conservative which is why I voted Kerry and then haven't voted for a repub for President since.

    It's all speculation but you and I have very different memories of that era, especially with the wars

    Edit: And I also completely agree with your second paragraph

    Today 8/21/2024: The US Labor Department revises 12-month job growth down by a massive 818,000 jobs. In other words, the US economy actually created 818,000 LESS jobs than initially reported. Biggest revision in 15 years. Harris is fake, just like the fake jobs numbers initially reported.

    W turned me into a Democrat and there's no going back. The R's have only managed to somehow get worse and worse since then.

    Did POOTWH legitimately lose the 2020 election and in what year do you figure you’ll be replaced?
