Politics

lol, not about that, I would have commended Trump for taking that argument away from Democrats.

Geez, sorry your candidate isn't as perfect as you make him out to be.
I have never said he's perfect, he's just all I've got. I DON'T think he's quite the douchebag you make him out to be.
Doubtless you prefer the Mitt Romney school of losing? Or John McCain?
 
As opposed to Trump school of losing? Heck, he lost to a senile guy campaigning from his basement at the last election.

And it seems he has not learned from that experience.
 
Yah, he should buy a few journalists.
When you have reporters saying "Trump falsely accused VP Harris of changing her racial status" even tho that's exactly what she did...
I know you guys are cool with that, and will regard whatever Trump does as wrong.

Except that is not what she did…

Harris I think is 59. So, she has been identifying as black since she was 18 at the very least when she went to Howard University and joined a black sorority.

Also, she is biracial. So, she can sell herself however, it is not like she is making it up.

Let's assume I am an independent black voter (audience of the black journalist organization). What has Trump said that would make me vote for him and not Harris? Her racial status is not it. Actually, that would push me more towards Harris.
 
Trump got baited into the wrong defense for a sucker punch he should have known was coming.

Ray Charles could see that left hook coming . and he took it on the chin. Instead of bobbing and weaving. Changing to a winning topic.

Like her record, her policies and her inability to answer a tough detailed question she hasn’t memorized or can read.

Her abuse of dozens of past staff members. That describe her as unprepared, lazy, won’t study the details. Then when she gets her a$$ handed to her she blames her staff.

Look up what ex staff says about her. Only senior staff was allowed to look her in the eye or talk to her.

JUNK !
 
I'm not sure who Trump has for political advisors but he's either not listening to them or they are a pack of incompetent morons. This race is his to lose and he's taken whatever bounce he got following the attempt on his life and pissed it away.

At the convention he picked a running mate who appealed to his base. Vance is not going to bring in any new votes from the moderates or independents and those are the people Trump needs to appeal to to win. To late to change that but it definitely isn't going to help his chances.

Why isn't he spending the majority of every speech just listing the failures of the Biden administration over the past 3.5 years? He needs to tie that legacy around Harris' neck, after all she was second in command. Instead he resorts to insults and continuous bragging about his past achievements. All the things that have been proven to turn against him the section of the electorate he most needs to win.

It's pathetic.
 
The debate will expose her lack of critical thinking and intelligence. She will spew memorized platitudes that don’t work or make sense. Of course her base will soak it up. But the moderates or independents will freak out again. Like they did when they apparently finely woke up to Bidens mental status.

This honeymoon exists in a media created vacuum. They have recreated her

Trump was correct 7.5 years ago when he said the legacy media was the enemy of the people.

I struggle to find or remember one time on a serious topic that they told the public the truth.

Google, Facebook push one political agenda only and they should lose their protection. And should be broken up as AAT and Standard oil were.

...
Assuming she does do that, will Trump take advantage of it or pivot to his golf game, stolen election in 2020, being a victim of lawfare or something similar?

Someone needs to point out to Trump that he already has the votes from his base locked up and does not need to campaign ONLY for his base.

I am sure he realizes that if he does not win, he is going to jail. It seems like each day he is taking another step in that direction.

Doubtful, the New York State court is on hold from the Supreme Court ruling. And will be reversed on appeal, if not outright dismiss on a Motion for New Trial, which the trial judge has signaled. The Florida case is done. The the DC case will be over with a Trump win or loss.
 
Gavin Newsom was going after X over this parody Kamala ad

@GavinNewsom
Manipulating a voice in an “ad” like this one should be illegal.

I’ll be signing a bill in a matter of weeks to make sure it is.

Musk absolutely ROASTS him in response

I checked with renowned world authority, Professor Suggon Deeznutz, and he said parody is legal in America ‍♂️
 
That Harris video cuts too close to quick. They can’t have the truth about her out there.

They need to keep this hollow facade going until voting starts.

Thank you Elon Musk.

We are fed 100% of Trumps negative aspects 24/7

the legacy media and social media hide the negative aspects of their candidates.

50% of the population are being manipulated because they are not paying attention to who is manipulating them.

Thank you Elon Musk
 
Red Leg, let me respectfully point out a glaring difference. One side of that argument was from the full weight of the government, legacy media and social media censorship.

And the threat and actual loss of your business , arrest, fines, loss of employment and a red scarlet letter. They were arresting pastors for holding church gatherings. But allowing pot sales stores to remain open.

Now the other side of this vaccine argument were citizens speaking out. (Right or wrong) With no ability to arrest or confiscate property.

Full disclosure. I took the vaccine since it was a little late for me to be concerned about receiving sketchy shots. I retired from the Navy. :LOL:
Took vaccines that made me ineligible to donate blood for years. So I reasoned if a flu shot killed me. it’s my time :cool:
I am no tin foil type of guy......but this was about control, power, making people bow to their will.

I knew it was all bullshit when they started exempting certain groups from the shot.......the threats of what would happen if you didn't follow their directive was over the top.......champion of the people? ....more like enemy of the people...bob
 
I am really surprised that Harris agreed to the venue and moderators
I got the impression that Trump was the one reluctant to do the originally scheduled ABC news debate, so I'm assuming this was a concession to get him on board.

A smart move from the Trump team, if it was indeed a strategic play instead of the usual bluster.

For my own part, I'm hoping they'll do the whole 'mute the opponent when it's not their turn' thing again. I'm curious to hear what they have to say, but I'm confident that neither candidate has got the self control or the manners to wait their turn, and I'm not interested in watching them pointlessly shout at each other. Sad that this is what's required for basic civility out of our candidates these days, but it is what it is.
