There's also the small matter of the bi-partisan border bill that Republicans voted against because Trump told them to in case it appeared to give Biden a win.
The same border bill that the border patrol were unequivocally in favour of as it would make their jobs easier to process and refuse entry quicker.
the same border bill that it’s Republican sponsor passionately defended in the face of MAGA disinformation:
the same Republican who as a result, was whipped back in line by the cult:

hilariously Republicans in the senate crafted the Lankford bill because they found HR2 was “dead on arrival” but now they want to “bludgeon people to death” again with HR2, the very thing they accuse Schumer of doing by calling for a new vote on the Senate Bill. A total clown show
The democrat in question posted this on his twitter account.. just in case people missed it
a real flyer apparently being mailed to homes in Texas. Very illegal but when has that stopped the GOP before?
Doesn’t even bother hiding the corruption anymore. This would be like Reagan saying the Iranians would release the hostages as a favor to him, but not Carter, so long as people just elect him.

John had this excellent piece on cancel culture, and the fact that the main proponents were MAGA worshippers
Trump could make himself look pretty good if he got Putin to do it now.
Look good with whom exactly??
People who are now thinking he's keeping a journalist hostage just as much as Putin is. If he has the magical Putin whispering powers he claims to have, he could just get the hostage released now and claim he didn't want to wait any longer. (Yes, I know it's all bullshit anyway)
Or "why didn't he do it when he was President???" "Trevor Reed, Paul Whelan… They didn't rate? Both marine veterans."
And, as everyone knows, things are purely transactional with him, who knows what he'll hand over in return. His history would suggest ****ing anything to get a theoretical "win"
Ahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahah...
This is, without a doubt, one of *the* most pathetic things I have EVER seen on the internet.
One lickspittle, to rule all lickspittles, and one incredibly whiney and pathetic little man who stands there as if this means ****ing anything to anyone apart from himself.
Beyond ridiculous.
I forget the name of that MAGA loon that Ciaran Cuddihy has on every thursday on Newstalk. He was allowed to spout at length the current MAGA conspiracy theory that the FBI were told to shoot Donald Trump, Melania Trump or Barron Trump if they obstructed the FBIs attempt to retrieve the top secret documents Trump stole. And that Joe Biden and Merrick Garland were behind the orders.
Just found him, Jeff Kuhner
Yep, journalistic malpractice.
And all so people will get annoyed and have to text in, which generates fees for Newstalk...
I've a very good friend who's a presenter/producer on nt for about 15 years who said there's an ethos change in newstalk to promote opinion-led journalism rather than factual/informative led, so they'll get on contributors to generate the clicks rather than inform the listenership
Will he get the reporter released at the same time 24 hours he will end the war.
“If I’m president, I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours.”
biggest rally ever period TM
Saw Trump fans online posting a picture of the rally in the Bronx with probably over 100k people there. Unlike the last time they tried it with the New Jersey rally which was actually a music concert, this one was definitely a political rally.
A political rally for Obama. From 2008. Not even in the Bronx, it was St.Louis, Missouri.
Its been obvious since covid this was their new direction, constantly harping on about and pushing people to text cus "we want your comments and opinions", its made the station impossible to listen to which as someone seeking simple facts and balanced reporting. Even when they are having a debate with 2 commenters they always try to to book the most controversial proponents for one if not both arguments.
Surely thats started by some people who dont like Trump knowing how completely and utterly dumb these MAGA crowd are and will lap it up
He allows this clown air-time?
FFS
Imagine knowing this kind of BS will be spewed and not checking to see and confirm that the same language is used in every warrant, including the one issued to search Biden's properties.
BTW - the hypocrisy in trump arguing in the SCOTUS that he should be immune from assassinating a political rival contradicts his outrage at Biden purportedly doing just that
Eric tweeted video footage of people "lining the streets" in support from Trump at his trial when in fact it was footage of people lining the streets for Biden's visit.
How the hell has Trump turned Georgia Nevada and Arizona into Red states?
If he builds a clear lead in New Hampshire then you may as well hand him the white house now.
What is the Democrats message this election exactly?
He is also polling 1 point higher than Biden in 18-29 year olds. Shocking.😳
DNC need something big from now untill November because the American electorate ain't buying what they selling right now.
This is absurd. The last post I'm seeing is this:
According to the front page there have been multiple posts since.
Is this it, is this how boards dies? With a whimper? How can a site that is only about discussion and debate survive like this? Where it takes over 3 hours to refresh a page.
(Any chance of this thread getting fixed?)
Interesting to see how the black vote has considerably moved in favour of Trump.
In 2020, 9% of the black vote supporting Trump. That has now jumped to 22%.
It goes to show that away from the social media hysteria about Trump and alleged "racism", many black people in the United States are opting for Trump in a way that no other Republican has managed in over 60-years.
Yes. Polls have been so reliable the last ten years. Never been spectacularly wrong. Ever.
The Boards Devs are aware of it, but seems the fix lies outside their control and lies with Vanilla or whatever it's called. Seems to be happening to the longer threads and when a post is made which starts a new page. Used to happen with old Boards, hence why threads used to be locked at 10,000 posts, but the change to Vanilla was supposed to negate this. But yeah, it's nonsense and really annoying.
@Beasty any chance we could try turning it off and back on again? (Close this thread and start a new one?)
