Nikki Haley, the onetime GOP presidential candidate who endorsed Donald Trump, despite once saying voting for him was “like suicide for our country,” could only muster a general acknowledgment of Trump’s existence when asked if she thinks he’s a “good candidate.”
“I think he is the Republican nominee,” Haley said, in an interview with CBS News’ Margaret Brennan. “And I think putting him against Kamala Harris, who is the Democrat nominee — for me, it’s not a question. Now, do I agree with his style, do I agree with his approach, do I agree with his communications? No.”

CBS News shared those remarks from Haley Friday. The full interview is slated to air Sunday.

Brennan pressed the former United Nations ambassador for her views on Trump’s candidacy because Haley, in part, said she’d run because she “could do a better job than him.” Throughout her campaign, Haley slammed Trump as “unhinged” and “diminished” as compared to 2016, questioned whether he would abide by the Constitution and said he was “not qualified to be the president of the United States.”

Despite those comments, Haley endorsed Trump after suspending her campaign in May.

She added during her interview with Brennan that she’s offered to help Trump’s campaign if it needs her.

Trump “knows that I’m on standby,” the former South Carolina governor said. “I talked to him back in June. He’s aware that I’m ready if he ever needs me to do that.”

Haley’s remarks in limp support of Trump were shared the same day former Vice President dikk Cheney announced he was backing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. So far, the only person from a GOP presidential ticket to back Trump is former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

My two favorites stop-and-frisk stats are:

1. In 2011, the NYPD stopped & frisked more young Black men (14-24) than the total # of young Black men in NY

2. Black men were more likely to be stopped BUT every single year, white men were more likely to have illegal contraband.

The discourse over Kamala Harris’ “accent” raises 3 questions:

1. What is code-switching? (Spoiler alert: You’re probably wrong)

2. What’s the difference between pandering w/ a “blaccent” vs a dogwhistle?

3. How desperate (or dumb) can Fox News get?

Kamala's former staff members sound like a bunch of bytches. A great supervisor is going to want to know the who's, what's, when's and why's.

Many people want the cute "lifestyle" of what they think working in government looks like so they can post on TikTok but they don't want any of the actual work it takes to get anywhere...

Pandering to .00001 of the population doesnt make any sense

You can protect them and their rights without making them the mascots of your party

Still got it....

Between dikk Cheney giving Kamala the co-sign for POTUS and depending on how next week's debate goes down Trump might be finished by October. If Bush Jr., gives Harris his endorsement shyt isn't a good look.

Don't get me wrong I ain’t rocking with the old guard Republicans but shyt is not a good look when 200+ old school Republicans are sick of Trump's shyt.

Why isn’t it a good look?

Trump is sooo bad even dikk Cheney endorsing Harris… Moderate gop and neocons want Trump out of the fukkin paint

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Nope. I ain’t never forgot all the dumb shyt that happened during the George W/Cheney Administration years

-9/11 (Could have been prevented)
-Went to Iraq based on WMDs which was a lie and a low key hunt for Saddam Hussein.
-2008 Recession in which Obama (after being elected) had to get the country out of after Wallstreet went unchecked.

We're trying to stop a potential dictatorship from happening in this country. If Trump gets The White House back, America is finished.

Now compare bush/chaney term to trump/pence term…
