    Oh absolutely, but now when they start crowing about how bad Harris/Biden have been regarding Israel and that Trump would be better, claims without evidence can be dismissed with actual evidence.

    I had "eliquis apixaban" a while back from a leg cast pulmonary embolism and Xareltio a year later as a preventative measure during a follow up casting.

    Jesus Christ, look at the cost of them!!! Even with the reduction… The US is fecked in so many ways

    Dara O'Briain had a bit in one of his standup shows about how as he was spending more time in the UK he'd miss developments in Ireland, like the Eddie Hoobs phenomenon: "I'm out of the country for three months and when I come back our biggest national icon was a guy from Cork who'd wander round supermarkets pulling things off shelves going 'This is very dear!'"

    The prospect of 'everybody getting health care' used as a negative political attack - I know we all focus on how moronic and rambling Trump is (with good cause), but always worth remembering how fundamentally cruel & evil Trumpism and the GOP is at its rotten core.

    And sadly, the actual Democratic party stance on this isn't really that much better than the Republican one. I bloody wish universal healthcare was a genuine Harris policy proposal.

    Agreed - here is, I think on first read, a reasonable breakdown of how it might be implemented and the costing.

    https://www.urban.org/research/publication/incremental-comprehensive-health-reform-how-various-reform-options-compare-coverage-and-costs

    It will neither be cheap (cost about $7Tn over 10 years) nor easy to implement - this costing assumes all privately paid health insurance shifts to the government. It can be done, but I really don't see how they can remove the grip of the health insurers, the AMA and so on.

    It's their total disconnection from reality and the things that actually matter to people.

    • "If they get elected , everyone will have healthcare"
    • "Tim Walz gave free meals to School kids"
    • "Tim Walz gave free sanitary products to school kids"

    As if these things are people will be outraged by??

    Low energy Trump getting weirder and weirder with his unhinged rants.

    He should have just cut a deal on the multiple crimes he is charged with.

    Whoever is running the social media for Harris is absolutely nailing it. 😂

    Corey Sex Pest Lewandowski has been rehired. We have entered next level desperation.

    Can't wait for Walz and the shade that will be thrown at that.

    What could they possibly come up with about a guy who had an affair with a married Puppy Killer that is now working for an adjudicated Sexual assaulter and a guy who is aroused by soft furnishings?

    I mean there's nothing inherently hilarious about that at all.

    No Sir , nothing funny there whatsoever..

    Honestly… a lot of them would be, yeah. They are temporarily embarrassed billionaires and want to be able to keep that "Future" cash to themselves

    I mean, you do have to laugh at these two consecutive lines on Lewandowski's Wikipedia page.

    "In September 2021 it was reported that he had made sexual advances towards the wife of a major Trump donor, leading to a Trump spokesman saying Lewandowski 'will no longer be associated with Trump World'.

    On August 15, 2024, Lewandowski joined the 2024 Donald Trump presidential campaign as a senior advisor."

    If I wanted to watch some geezer of around 80 trot out the same old unfunny routine, sprinkled with misogyny and racism, I'd pre-order Chubby Roy Brown's next Christmas DVD.

    Trump's speeches have become quite boring.

    His act was fresh in 2016 when no-one could believe the kind of stuff he was getting away with saying. In 2024, we've heard it all before. The GoP is loaded with copycats and Trump's advancing age makes it difficult to put as much energy into his performances.

    In true 'leopards ate my face' style, the Republicans plumped for a comically-ignorant narcissist and have received just that. Staff are basically on their knees begging Trump to just read what they wrote on the paper, and Trump's like, "Hm, no. I want to go off on weird tangents about Ka-mah-la instead."

    I really believe the ones shouting about not paying for others children's school meals are the ones whose children go and come home from school hungry. They really can't see something that is benefiting them, and many others. Rich or poor, providing a nutritious meal, at least once a day, can only be a benefit to all !

    Whilst failing to recognise that the availability of affordable healthcare , education and food for their kids actually massively increases their chances of being successful in later life..

    Desi Lydic rips apart Trump’s “a thing called the economy” address billed as “an intellectual speech” for people “devastated” by it (not him) that was almost about anything besides the economy, including George Papadopoulos (sp?), not liking Mondays, and Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor, from his pulpit at a private golf course with 6 figure membership fees.

    I think the Dems should start targeting JDV more. They can hit two birds with one stone.

    "Trump is the oldest presidential candidate in history. If the worst was to happen and he doesn't make it through his four year term, JD Vance will be President of United States. Is that a vote you're happy to stand over?"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,534 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson


    Trump really is a disgusting pile of shyte.

    Harris team continues with the "Whatever that was" theme in response to Trumps "event" at his country club

    If we can divide Trump's base of support into two basic blocs - fire-breathing cult members and people who say, "I dunno, seems like he did better with the economy…" then the former group would prefer one day of Trump as president than four years of Harris and the latter haven't much of a concept of who Vance is. The firm majority of people, I think, would stand over that vote if they're prepared to make it in the first place.

    I do agree that Vance should be targeted more, though, but in the sense that he is made the biggest dweeb in the world to the floating youth vote.

    Yes. that there's socialism…

    There is a large subset of the US which thinks like that

    The Biden/ Harris administration is fast-tracking citizenship applications in an attempt to reshape the electorate ahead of the election. There was once a time our media thought stealing an election was a threat to democracy. Nowadays, since the mainstream media has gone all-in for Harris, they are issuing glowing reports that suddenly US Citizenship and Immigration Services is hurriedly processing citizenship to both legal and illegal immigrants in less than half the time than before, and will be able to vote (democratic). Biden, and now Harris, seems they feel it might be the only way democrats are going to win in 2024. 

    Do you honestly think Trumps supposed treatment of women, exaggerated by democrats and their loyal media followers, is really any different than most of the male politicians here? If you do I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. And if moral character is important to you, did you ever wonder how Harris got the nickname 'toes up' in her rise in politics?

    Re Project 2025… We have a failed education system that emanates from the top. Indoctrination of our kids into liberal ideals should not be allowed, the same as religion. I would be in favor of dismantling the Department of Education and put it in the hands of the states, facilitate school choice, and increase parental control over schools.

    And a bit of advice, don’t get yourself in any hot water replying to my comments, as doing so enables the masses to actually see the musings of public enemy number one. 😉

    In 2016, regarding swing states, I recently read a report that Trump beat the polls by 9 points. And in 2020 Trump beat the polls in swing states by 5 points. It is common knowledge that many of the polls are skewed heavily in democrat respondents, more than they represent as voters. So I think Harris better be up by more than 7 points in the swing state polls to have a chance of winning them.
