“Nothin’ But Good Times Ahead!”

Really? They’re still trying to make this a thing?
Khelif is one of two athletes who have been cleared to compete in the women's boxing in Paris, despite having been disqualified from last year's Women's World Championships for failing to meet eligibility criteria. 
The 25-year-old's participation in the Games has proved controversial, leading the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to defend her right to compete. 
"All this controversy makes me sad," Carini told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. 
"I'm sorry for my opponent, too. If the IOC said she can fight, I respect that decision." 
Carini, also 25, said abandoning the fight had been a mature step to take, but she expressed regret at not shaking hands with Khelif afterwards. 
"It wasn't something I intended to do," Carini said. "Actually, I want to apologise to her and everyone else. I was angry because my Olympics had gone up in smoke." 
She added that if she met Khelif again, she would "embrace her".
So now it’s a frat boy campaign: Some people emulate Trump more than others. That’s not a compliment. Weird? Perish the thought! Well...maybe so. Meanwhile, “Any time, any place, anywhere,” becomes ( at 11:34 pm), “except then, except there, except her.” I’m sure it’s part of a strategy.
Trump believes he wins battles when he gets to define the messaging terrain and have Democrats and his media nemeses fight him on his terms (hence, Trump’s deep annoyance at Harris and Democrats’ relentless drive to call him, J.D. Vance, and other conservative leaders “weird”)," the report said. "So, Trump and his allies have been reveling in this line of racial-identity sniping, hoping to bait Democratic leaders into a mud fight." 
Indeed, some Trump advisers believed even before the disastrous question-and-answer session with the National Association of Black Journalists — in which Trump asked at one point, "is she Black?" — that smearing Harris as inauthentic could help them woo some Black voters, especially disaffected young Black men. 
"The sources stressed that Trump’s comments were not — as has been the case numerous times in his campaigns and during his administration — a situation in which the former president has gone rogue on the stump and indulged his own lack of political impulse control. (These sources in the past have generally had no trouble privately admitting it when that has been the case.) Rather, this is a case of Trump and an array of his aides and influential allies settling on a race-baiting strategy that they are, for the time being at least, convinced will work out well for them in this presidential election," the report said. 
One person close to Trump told the news outlet: “It’s not by accident; it’s intentional. We’re behind the [former] president, 100 percent."
Please note the Democrats are sticking with “weird.” And they can read “Rolling Stone.” (And only white people try to fight against racist terms, mostly because they generally control the definitions of those terms and get to argue “I’m not the racist, you are! For calling me a racist!” (The white man race card.) Kamala Harris understands that. All Trump did was emphasize his racism. He’s a very stable genius, you know.)

To be fair, JMM sort of saw this coming:
So Trump gained control of the spotlight, and openly declared himself a racist, and now he is telling us he meant to do that? And he did it to peel off some young black male voters? The ones he hasn’t gotten with gold sneakers and a felony conviction? It’s gotta be the truth. I believe they are that stupid.

I guess Trump will show up on FoxNews (cable, limited), while Kamala goes to ABC to give them an exclusive interview, and shame Trump. Trump really is seizing the narrative.

Pretty sure Kamala-mentum hasn’t slowed a bit.
And give up their strategy? When you get tired of calling them “weird.”
