For those betting on the election using certain investing and betting sites. Be aware. To win. Your pick must be certified by Congress to get your money.

If something happens to your candidate between Election Day and the Certification in January the house keeps your money. A lot can happen in the 2 months after someone is elected.

I actually think Trump is the safest man on the planet if he wins…

While the left hates Trumps personality… I think they are terrified of Vance…

The last thing they want is a hard right POTUS that can actually unify the R party…

 

[MD Driver]

What else does the left do besides spin things?
They said she would give him 1 hour, in which she would undoubtedly show up 30 minutes late, and cut the interview short, so the viewers wouldn't see the babbling word salad bullshit from a brainless bimbo, who is in no way shape or form, fit to be the leader of this country.

Anyone remember this "conspiracy theory" from just a short 1 year ago?

Republicans float a quiet conspiracy theory that Biden won't be on the ballot

The mostly unfounded chatter includes talk that Democrats secretly want to replace him with former first lady Michelle Obama or California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Oh FFS. He readily admits he's a Bernie Bro, his parents were San Fran hippies. The left can play it however they like. They're liars.

Besides, he doesn't need her on his show. She either wants to talk in front of his audience, or she doesn't. I doubt she could do more than 5 minutes without a teleprompter.

32 days....32 days...32 days...32 days.

where's that overton window meme?

*digging*

ah... here it is:

Democrats know they can't beat Trump fair & square, so the nationwide cheat is on.
Shenanigans going on here at the Pima county recorders office, Colorado "accidentally" released passwords of the voting system, and a news station broadcast election results in Pennsylvania showing Kamala as the winner of that state.
These are just a few of the widespread election fraud situations that plague this country.

I have no prediction but if Trumps wins and does what he says about implementing 60% tariffs to goods coming from China from the first day, get out and buy electronics, phones, computers or whatever you need before it's too late.

I'm not savvy enough to call out specific items that would be affected but you make a good point. Some products will be about as available as costco toilet paper during the height of covid.

Honestly asking, not telling a question…

Could Trump implement those tariffs without Congress?

ABC station mistakenly airs election results declaring Harris winner of key swing state

WNEP-TV said that the results came up on the screen in “error” and that they had been “randomly generated”

nypost.com

There is no such thing as a "screen error" with completed data compiled ahead of time. Why isn't this all over at least the alternative news cycles!! Maddening.

Could Trump implement those tariffs without Congress?

1934 Section 350(a) of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934 authorized the President to negotiate bilateral, reciprocal trade agreements and proclaim changes to U.S. tariff rates of up to 50% of existing rates without further congressional action.

Don't overlook the fact that tariff threat's are a bargaining and intimidation tactic

Current tariffs are 10% on most electronics. So, 50% of existing rates would push it to 15%. 60% also would be insane and have a severe economic impact.

Join you how? Are you insinuating that some people believe it is ok to intentionally kill Russian children? More than one implication there. Ever heard of collateral damage? Pretty common in war. Strange post. Cheap emotional appeal and intellectually shallow and dishonest. Reminds me of the idiotic posts on FB back when I was on it that would say something like “like this post if you love Jesus, scroll past if you love the Devil” or some such nonsense. Be honest, did you copy paste that?

It is clear that some Democrats will go to any length to defeat Trump, and watching this all evolve I would say that applies to a wide sector of them. 'Any length' seems to include bending the rules and downright cheating, as in igniting drop boxes and binning ballots. Inconsequential? Who knows, but to deny it is happening is non sensical.
Biden's garbage comment, like Hillary's deplorables in 2016 speaks volumes of what they really feel, it is huge and flies right in the face of their righteous 'the America we would like to be' nonsense.
Trump is playing it very well, I see this man has matured a lot, he could well be the uniter that the USA so desperately needs. For certain Harris cannot do it, she just doesn't have the presence.

I agree that Trump will try and unite this country....as he should. However, I, for one, am not interested in uniting with "someone or someones" who have completely opposite values than my own....why should I....someone obviously hates you and wants to destroy you and your beliefs....absolutely no reason I should compromise my beliefs in this country. But Trump will have to convince myself and many others that we should do that. I just don't see any resolution between the two sides in this country....sad. However.....perhaps Trump has that ability......he will have to change hearts.
