Crackpot conspiracy theory! I don't doubt for a second Trump would politically exploit even an attempt on his life, short of being incapacitated https://t.co/e3bZtFBn4U

I think the election outcome will probably be decided by the perceived state of the economy by Election Day. The question is not if the economy is headed into recession but when. Our trading partners are already struggling, and domestic consumers can't make up the difference.

I noticed egg dozen prices more than tripled at Lidl over the past week. Yup, Asian flu outbreak at producers. Not some BS "price gouging" talking point by the economically illiterate Harris. The law of supply and demand. I don't buy many eggs at these prices.

Listening to the the ABC This Week podcast, listening to Liz "Neo-Con" Cheney's take on how Ronald Reagan would see Reagan v. Harris. There are reasons why Reagan left the Dem Party, and Harris is far to the left of those Dems. I'm fairly sure Reagan, like me, would vote LP.

It makes sense that Putin endorsed Kamala Harris. Harris' tax and spend policies and death sentence to the global leader in reliable energy production, a key Russian competitor, are more effective sabotaging the US economy than Putin can dream of doing.https://t.co/dzGVzStarU

I love it! Ron Paul is trolling Darth Vader Cheney; his latest YouTube clip references Cheney's endorsement of Harris: "Did Dick Cheney Just Elect Donald Trump?" Even GW Bush is smart enough not to endorse either Trump or Harris.

The question is what happens to the GOP after Trump fails to beat a grossly incompetent Kamala Harris. First, they'll need to fumigate the GOP from the stench of Trump. Hearing idiots like Vance and Borgum embrace Trumpist protectionist rubbish disqualifies them from the future.

No doubt losing 13 soldiers in the exit from Afghanistan was a tragedy. FNC has had relevant obsessive, politically motivated coverage. Keep in mind 2406 American military died in the war effort, not including 1822 civilians, in all more than our casualties on 9/11

Add that to trying to renew/expand Trump's unpaid-for original taxes. Think he'll cut DoD to match his phony America First gimmick? Nope. Count on him to feed the gluttonous military industrial complex. Trump broke his promises to rein in federal spending and the national debt.

Going back to his insane mercantilist anti-trade policy based on a first grader's understanding of the trade deficit, he's attacking trading partners in or near recessions (never mind our own), which will naturally cut our exports before retaliatory tariffs add to it.

Once again, Harris is lying and incompetent on abortion. The Dobbs decision means no federal legislation essentially trumps the states regulation of abortion. And yet Harris promises to sign codification of Roe into law! Blatantly unconstitutional by definition!
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) September 11, 2024
Once again, Trump mishandles the topic of abortion. No, not everyone wanted Roe overturned. Only 1% of abortions occur during late pregnancy. When it comes to federal legislation, all Trump needs to say is he will not sign an unconstitutional bill on abortion, period!

No, Harris: how stupid are you? 81 M people did not elect Biden. (I realize Trump was also stupidly bragging about his 70-odd M votes.) Biden won a majority of official state elector votes.

Trump is horribly wrong on tariffs. They aren't paid by foreign countries but consumers. But foreign countries will respond to discrimination on their exports by targeting our own exports, like when China canceled American farmer exports and replaced them with Brazilian.

Again, both Trump and Harris are wrong on Ukraine. Part of the problem was GWH Bush promised Russia we wouldn't expand NATO into the former Warsaw Pact. We also made a promise to guarantee Ukraine when they gave up their nukes. We should agree on an unaligned Ukraine.

Trump bizarrely thinks Harris should do something about X, Y, Z after the debate, as if she were POTUS. Ask me if Trump ever gave Pence credit for anything during his term .

Well, Trump again doesn't understand the limitations of the Presidency, including on immigration. For example, asylum is part of US law. No, Trump cannot simply close the borders by fiat. Congress decides immigration law, not unconstitutional executive orders.

Harris, however, "won" the debate in one respect: she constantly got under Trump's skin and basically exploited his ego and short fuse. She played Trump like a fiddle.

I'm sure not so bright people are going to cite left-wing Snopes on the Charlottesville kerfuffle. They never read the post. Snopes simply verified Trump paid lip service to neo-Nazis, not a judgment on underlying facts. Trump has been incompetent on alt-right distinctions.

In fact, Trump actually criticized the other side as illegal, arguing the alt right had permits and the opposing clergy and others didn't (a debunked lie).

I wonder why idiots don't get the fact Trump called the protesters on the UVA march to the Jefferson statue "very fine people"--you know, the tiki-torch guys shouting Nazi slogans, but claim because he paid lip service to neo-Nazis being bad. Not one Trumpkin has explained this.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) September 15, 2024
Who were the counter-protesters? Mostly good people like clergy and people of faith, civil libertarians, students, etc. Of course, some allies of counter-protesters tried to protect them because the police weren't very effective.

Now, maybe Nate might realize the protest had very little to do with Robert E. Lee and more to do with promoting neo-Nazi/white supremacist rhetoric. Now, Nate, remind us of Trump's concession of who these "fine people" were: Trump told us. But it was totally misleading.

I'm tired of @Nate_GML and Chuck Thompson, not Trumpkins but buying into RINO Trump's "very fine people" defense. Unlike Nate I've done my due diligence. Nate's analysis is shallow and simplistic. It's more than just whether Trump paid lip service to saying he condemns neo-Nazis.

Too bad you flunked reading comprehension. All he did was pay lip service to neo-Nazis & white nationalists as the alt-right rogue elements; he was trying to portray the alt-right mob as peaceful protesters (no conventional conservatives) & said the other side had no permits.
