Also not to forget border crossings are very low now thanks to executive action taken by Biden. Executive action though that is likely to be overturned by the courts without a bill passing Congress.
Those who blindly support Trump refuse to acknowledge any and all facts. In their minds it goes like this. A felon? No he was railroaded. Did he get his folks to squash the border bill? It was a bad bill. I mean people actually think Haitians are eating animals. To them it's the voice of the teacher in Charlie Brown. BTW. I like around the world's epic tweeting. Just have to consider the source. Many on the left serial post as well. At least he doesn't make things personal. My biggest problem with this board.
After reading this last page I put him on ignore. Tinman has toned down trying to turn the d&d into boomer Facebook. Perhaps eventually ATW will find a hobby. Or do some “CEOing” and spend some time with his family that he supposedly has. Some individuals just get older and go off the rails. To the point where they believe everything they see online.
As of now I’m cautiously optimistic that Harris will win. While polls are different most of the polls are showing her trending. The NYT Sienna poll which showed Harris tied nationally and trailing in almost all of that swing states appears to be an outlier. This doesn’t mean that the election is a certainty and the Harris campaign Should definitely continue to work as though they are the underdogs.
Retired military general described as ‘the finest warrior’ backs Harris for president Stanley McChrystal, a retired Army general once dubbed “the finest warrior” in the U.S. military, has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. McChrystal, who oversaw the Afghanistan war during the Obama administration, wrote in a New York Times op-ed on Thursday that the decision was “starkly simple.” “Ms. Harris has the strength, the temperament and, importantly, the values to serve as commander in chief,” the retired general wrote. “When she sits down with world leaders like President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, representing the United States on the global stage, I have no doubt that she is working in our national interest, not her own.” “Character will dictate whether we stand by our NATO allies and against Vladimir Putin’s continued aggression,” McChrystal argued. “Character will dictate whether we have a commander in chief who honors and respects the men and women who serve in uniform.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...tal-military-harris-endorsement-b2620160.html This comes after over 700 national security and military officials endorsed Kamala Harris for president in a letter that said the vice president "defends America's democratic ideals" while former President Trump "endangers" them. https://www.axios.com/2024/09/22/national-security-officials-endorse-harris One thing is for sure. I value their opinion much more than nutjobs and conspiracy theorists like Tucker, Alex Jones, Loomer, MTG, Trump Jr., Lara Trump, Elon Musk, Trump, and the rest of the little right wing red hatters pecking away at their keyboards on twitter and social media.
Roseanne Barr, in an onstage appearance with Tucker Carlson, said: "It’s not just the dogs and the cats. There are full-on vampires, and everybody still thinks I’m crazy. But I’m not crazy. They’re full-on vampires. They love the taste of human flesh, and they drink human blood. They do. By the time we go in to vote for Trump, that he will open up everybody’s eyes and they will stop pretending to be asleep. You know what they say. You can’t wake people up that are pretending to be asleep. But I pray to God, please wake up. Even those who are pretending to be asleep with the irrefutable truth of what the worst people on this planet are really up to. They are really up to that. They’re doing it. There are so many victims. There are so many victims!" I have family members who hold type of beliefs that are not far from this. Just yesterday, one of them texted me about his preparations. He rants about the other side being communist and socialist, saying Venezuela is literally burning money as a data point. He says they will shoot us, so he’s stockpiling supplies. It’s all just a bunch of nonsense—loose associations that have him so worked up that he's preparing for violence. This comes from someone who is well-off, owns multiple properties, and is earning more today than he did four years ago. He’s well-educated, and witnessing him dive deep into conspiracy theories is concerning. I can only hope this type of thinking is isolated.
Unfortunately it’s not isolated. As we saw with the stories of Haitians eating pets many including the Republican ticket are just digging in. We see it here with how easy and pervasive it is to spread alarming messages of fear.
There are a few other outliers. The polls are "jumpy" but still trending toward Harris. The NYT, even as an outlier, has her winning the election 270 to 268, leading in enough of the critical swing states of PA, WI, and MI. If the NYT poll is exactly what you get on election day (of course it won’t be), Harris might actually lose the popular vote but win the EC and the presidency. Imagine the calls for abandoning the EC after that. The group-thinking is - this is an extremely close race. The polls do tell us that.... but.... It can be an extremely close race, and the result can still almost resemble a blowout victory (e.g., 320 to 210). It just takes a uniform swing of a few points to one side.
Yes it’s possible Harris wins the EC but loses the popular vote. I think that is one of the least likely outcomes. I think Trump’s best chance of winning is to duplicate what he did in 2016. I’m very certain he won’t win the popular vote. He’s done little to expand his following. While he’s might do better among nonwhite men the gender gap is substantial and what gains he might make in that group are offset by losses among women. Also the Trump strategy of going after younger men who are into things like video games and MMA might seem like a good move from a marketing standpoint but that group hasn’t proven to be a very reliable voting block and given his opposition to mail in voting I have a hard time seeing a lot of them willing to stand in line in November to vote. Also the very cynicism that Trump is cultivating undermines whether voting matters.
Trending in what? memes? Biden was old and in cognitive decline but Kamala has an incredible ability to say dumb $hit we can all laugh at.... This election isn't even close, sorry to break it to ya on a Saturday morning.... The reason why they kicked Biden out to the curve like an old worn out dishwasher and inserted Kamala was because Trump's lead was insane especially after the failed assassination. Kamala was never elected, if primaries were to happen she wouldn't even be in the running. She isn't popular, mainstream media is doing their best to try and convince people she is some exciting new candidate but she is lame af unless she is your only hope against a greater country with borders and no inflation.
And Vivek and Elon. And they are also allied with Milei and Bukele. Several brilliant people. The leftists hate and envy brilliant people.
You know I would say wanna bet but the last time I bet on an election with a Trump supporter I ended up paying off the debt even though I won the bet.
I don't bet but its a terrible bet for you, think about it... You would be betting on nominee that was selected not elected, one that just so happens would also make the very first women president this country has ever had. Is there something wrong with that? no but if a women was elected she would have to be brilliant and inspire a whole lot of confidence in order to take a position that has always been occupied by men. We are getting closer to the day a women leads this country but its not going to be Kamala.... Kamala the architect of absolutely nothing during her tenure as VP, the one who distances herself from Biden as much as possible because the Biden/Kamala administration has been a total disaster. If the Biden/Harris administration would have gotten anything right she would be running on that but instead defers to "I'm not the one in charge".... She is basically running on not being Trump and abortion, have shown no signs of strength globally and devastated our borders. Virtually nothing is better today than 4 years ago and you think people are excited to continue down this path? You think people are excited to elect Kamala to 4 more years of our current affairs because Trump is so unlikeable in your Democrat echo chambers? Nah bro, people will vote for what they care about not what the Democrat party cares about. I've been saying Kamala has no chance and not changing my opinion one bit. They should have selected someone different, I still can't believe they thought Kamala was the best chance....
I wish Kamala could just lie to the people and tell them she will make sure eggs are $1.50 and she's going to make milk $0.75. Things would be so much easier. Win in a landslide. Thinking is hard for some. We need to recognize that. 33% of the population wants to be lied to.
It's easy to re-post someone else's cartoon. What are your thoughts. What solution of senor Trumps do you support. Is it mass deportation or the 10% tariff?
