October has just started. Trump vows to veto any federal abortion ban — after previously refusing to commit Trump posted during the middle of the VP debate. this amounts to an admission that the Harris campaign is kicking his (campaign) ass on this issue
According to WaPo, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/02/civility-moderation-an-october-surprise/, the civility of the VP debate was one. my guess is that Trump will agree to a 2nd debate agains Harris Harris has repeatedly pushed for another debate with Trump in October. She has accepted an invite for a CNN-hosted debate Oct. 23.
The funniest thing out of all this is that evangelical christians have been stuck on Trump's ass for a while due to the abortion issue and now he is discrediting the one reason they were willing to throw the rest of their morals out the window.
Has Trump started Xweeting again? I know he was not banned anymore, but I thought he was still posting in TruthSocial.
As for the Harris / Walz campaign, Could US port strike be the ‘October surprise’ that trips up Kamala Harris? Strike by 45,000 dock workers threatens to stoke inflation just five weeks out from US presidential election
Agree on the ass-kicking. But I also don't believe him at all. I bet he would sign it. What's more, I think lots of prolife voters will quietly also suspect he's lying.
It's already come out that the leader of the strike met with Trump weeks ago behind closed doors, and has refused to meet with Biden. It's also days after a devastating hurricane hit where supplies are needed ASAP, and it's hurting real people. Basically... if the media does their job here then the PR for this fiasco will bite the port worker leadership in the butt. The timing is sus and some would argue immoral. Reeks of political backroom wheeling and dealing at the cost of Americans which is what people hate about politics more than anything. If Biden's admin has any more insights on what this clown is doing behind closed doors, and his ties to Trump they need to rake this guy over the coals, and the media needs to do their damn job as well. Based on what has already come out I'm guessing this wont hurt Harris too much, but its just another excuse for those who want to come home to Trump to come home if people see any sort of bad news about the economy... even though this is surely BECAUSE of Trump.
The 165-page document comes from Smith’s office and is the fullest accounting yet of evidence in the election subversion case against Trump.
I’m wondering if the people who were claiming Harris was stealing Trump policy positions will criticize Trump for this.
The port strike could be considered an October surprise especially if it drags on for the whole month.
I thought the October Suprise was going to be cease fire between Palestine and Israel. I missed on that one. I thought it would greatly help the Harris ticket. The pro-Palestinian folks here in the USA would be happy they were no longer under attack, and that the pro-Israeli folks would be happy that it is over as well. As of now, I have no idea how these groups will vote. Or if the number is large enough to make a difference. Horrible segway coming, I will say, listening to the head of the Longshoreman's union. This dude sounds like no joke. The question to me is, if this strike or mandated cooling off period runs through the election who in office or running for office gets the votes. I was at a food show yesterday and one of the breakout sessions was the potential impact of the strike. they were saying 40% increase in imported goods such as coffee, seafood, European canned items like capers, roasted red peppers, and south American produce. So, when folks get mad about rising prices, do we blame the current administration or not?
An Israel Palestine ceasefire think would be one of the least likely surprises. Neither side is showing any interest in it and as of now Israel and Iran are ramping up strikes. As I said in the other thread this is endless war. For the dock strike if it drags on this will hurt the Harris campaign. As she is tied to Biden who has talked a lot about his union ties this will also reflect on the Harris campaign. I haven’t followed this issue closely so I haven’t seen interviews with the union officials.
I usually do not post Xeets or videos, but this dude is worth a look. the new Hoffa. different union butttttt....
