I'm not 100% sure she is drunk, to me there doesn't appear to be the slurring her words.

However, what is not conjecture is she suffers from anxiety and in particular anxiety from public speaking. So my speculation is that maybe it is a legal medication for anxiety (maybe xanax) that could cause some of the same mannerisms or speak patterns, and word salads.

Could be, but she was slurring words on several occasions during the dnc. Especially when she was caught just out and about.

Gina thinks they would be giving her a beta blocker if anything. But she is also convinced it is a drinking problem. Based on professional and personal observations.

I thought I was lucky getting a 1.9% this year. I remember being a kid and that rate was normal. That kind of rate was constantly promoted on tv ads.

That might have been before Truth in Lending when quoting an add-on rate was legal. 1.9 add-on is 3.7 APR.

"The Department of Homeland Security said it is resuming the parole processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans (CHNV) after it "incorporated additional vetting of U.S.-based supporters to strengthen the integrity of the processes."

"Fox News Digital first reported this month that the administration paused the issuing of advance travel authorizations in July for the program, which allows 30,000 nationals from those countries to travel into the U.S. each month and enter legally under the administration's use of parole since early 2023."



Senselessly and intentionally importing 30 f'ing thousand per month on top of the millions being allowed across the border!!! Not trying to replace white people, upend our society by causing chaos, intentionally bankrupting the common man, etc., etc., my left foot!

The irony of how they say, "we are arresting fewer of these people at the border due to the program", well duh!!!
If you FLY them in they dont need to cross the border, genius!!

Mostly, I am waiting to see how she will address Hamas, healthcare, and immigration. Yes, she has made statements on all of these topics before, but the convention is where she and the party will make clear their governing priorities.

I understand this position and it is a dilemma with which I have also grappled.

Personally, I am trying to make my decision through the following framework of questions.

Is the candidate fit to serve?
Do I support the policy positions of the candidate?
How likely are their policies to be actualized?
Of the policies likely to be actualized, does the harm caused by those policies with which I disagree outweigh the good of those that I support?

When I consider the nominees in this way, Trump is not an option for me. Where I am stuck on Harris is the last question, which is why I am waiting for the convention.

@Saul

So where is your standing on Harris now that the convention is over?

 

[sestoppelman]

One would think that its not that difficult of a question, but for some it seems to be a real problem making a decision as if there were really any options.
One need only ask, was I and the country on the whole in better shape under 4 years of Trump or 3.6 years of Biden Harris?
It really isnt any more complicated than that.
Do whats best for the country and your own wallet, vote Trump.

Who do I call to make “Shakin’ Hands” by Nickelback, Kamala’s official campaign song?

 

[Altitude sickness]

The question I would ask is.

Who is price gouging. Specifically which companies and what are the margins the federal Government grants a company permission to make.


Or Price “Gauging” as she knows it.

Obviously, if you are making a profit you MUST be price-gouging. What other excuse could you have for victimizing your fellow citizen (comrade?) by charging him more than you paid for something?
Just as the BATF says that if you sell a gun for more than you paid for it you are "engaged in the business" of firearms dealership.

Good Humor! The Democrats that strove so valiantly to keep RFK jr OFF the ballot in their states now are insisting he must stay on!
You gotta love these guys! If they didn't have warped standards, they'd have no standards at all.

As it currently stands, I intend to vote for Harris and mostly Republican down ballot.

Curious on what policy differences with Trump tips the scale?

Curious on what policy differences with Trump tips the scale?

I believe that he is wholly unfit for the Presidency. With regard to policy, my main opposition is his foreign policy, specifically as it relates to Ukraine, and what I perceive as his willingness to sell out our allies. Moreover, I do not trust him to not flip on any policy position of his that I do support.

But somehow, Harris is fit to be president?? You are living in a dream world.
