    Have you not noticed all the tweets that @AroundTheWorld have posted..... Seems like Harris and Walz dictate a lot of what your side talks about. It's amazing really.

    JD Vance is just weird and Trump talks about random stuff while just randomly dancing.

    He must have depleted the Trump family fortune

    Nah. Trump said "they're eating dogs and cats" and Dems went on for weeks on that one. It's clear Trump dictates the mediabcycle and what gets talked about. Been that way since 2015. In fact it was a major complaint Dems had with some of the left leaning networks.

    I will say out of the 4 principals running for office, Walz is the one I would most like to throw one back with.

    Except maybe for VP Harris.
    Cuz, ya know there is always that chance.

    Why wouldn't they?? If the campaign is about showing contrast and fitness for office you couldn't have created a better picture of that contrast then replaying what he said at the debate which was objectively bat sh$t crazy.

    What would you have said if during the debate Kamala went on a rant about Trump supporters in Alabama going into majority black towns and stealing and eating their cats and dogs??

    Would you be dismissing the idea of bringing attention to that comment?? Would you be critiquing right wing media for continuing to talk about Kamala's comments spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories about white Trump supporters?? What comments did you make in 2016 about Hillary's comments about how Trump tends to have a "basket of deplorables" in his grouping of followers?? Since you are all high and mighty now, back then were you critical of FoxNews for covering that, and instead saying Fox and Trump should be focused on Hillary's policies??

    This is an odd argument. You’re criticizing Democrats for talking about something crazy and patently false they Trump said rather than they Trump said it in the first place.

    Like I mentioned when Trump said that, the real issue was immigration and his comments would bring a light on that. You were one of several that said that line of thinking was off base. But it seems everyone aside from hardcore Dems wants to focus on the "pet eating".

    Are you denying there were left leaning networks that people (Dems) were complaining Trump got too much coverage on?

    You actually believe the drivel you post? Trump has been ranting and slandering immigrants for years. He is 100% focused on immigration and brings it up ever single chance he gets. Even when it doesn't relate to the question. Yet he just made up a story about LEGAL Hatians eating cats and dogs to focus on immigration? You are either trolling or have a room temperature IQ and no critical thinking skills.

    This talking point is still being used? It's a stretched interpretation of "legal." It’s like playing A ball or semi-pro basketball and calling yourself a professional athlete. Sure technically you are but not in the way most people think (which would be MLB or NBA level in this case). That’s what this feels like, playing with the technicalities

    He mentioned it once, but his focus has consistently been on tightening immigration policies.

    Trump said it and said it multiple times. Doubled down on it when asked about it
    Sure some were but I’ve of the opinion when a former president and nominee of a major party continues to say untrue bizarre stuff that is worthy of coverage.

    Now a question back to you. There’s a lot of talk in the Right about Democrats comparing Trump to Hitler (note it’s not just Democrats). So does that mean that it’s the Democrats are dictating coverage?

    Immigration status isn’t like being in the NBA. It’s like being a pro athlete to use your example. If you’re in the minor leagues you’re still a pro-athlete. If you’re in the country legally you’re a legal immigrant.
    He mentioned it more than once.


    Also this isn’t some claim with no consequence. Springfield faced multiple bomb threats over this and had to close schools over this.

    I don't hear him saying dogs and cats were being eaten by Haitian migrants in that video, and it is obvious he was asked a specific question about that from the NBC/Telemundo reporter since he had said it at the debate the day before.

    So aside from the debate, he has never brought up Haitian migrants eating cats and dogs on his own (like at a rally), at least that I can find.

    Hahahahhahahahaha. This is one of the funniest posts in the history of these boards.

    So besides the times when Trump said Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs and people's pets, and refusing to make the correction when asked about it, has he ever said it other times besides the ones where he definitely said it maintains that it is still true?

    What a great tactic!

    So besides the times when Clinton claimed he didn't have sexual relations with that woman, did Clinton ever say he didn't have sexual relations with that woman?

    Besides the time when khrushchev said "We will bury you" Did he really ever say "We will bury you"?

    Did George Wallace ever say "A racist is one who despises someone because of his color, and an Alabama segregationist is one who conscientiously believes that it is in the best interest of Negro and white to have a separate education and social order." ? Besides the times when he said it?

    What's funny is your reading comprehension, and how hard youre trying here.

    Trump never brought it up on his own outside the debate. Being asked about it once by a reporter is not bringing it up on his own, and even then he didn't say they're eating the cats and dogs.

    Mind you all this is stemming from the fact a few Dems on here are denying Trump leads the media cycle and denying the fact several left leaning outlets have complained about Trump being covered too much. Are you one of those?

    I know all that, but can you answer a few questions?

    Beside the times when Trump claimed he'd have a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare in two weeks, did he ever claim that he'd have a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare in just two weeks?

    Are we really going to hold him accountable for that?

    And besides the times when Trump encouraged Russia to do whatever the hell it wants, has he really ever encouraged Putin and Russia to do whatever the hell it wants?

    So is it really fair to talk about those issues?

    Man, those Democrats are so unreasonable.

    I'll answer those once you answer the ones I asked first
