    a Twitter dump.

    Trump gave incoherent, rambling responses during his debate with Biden, virtually none of his answers even stuck on the topic asked, much less addressed them. That this was overshadowed by Biden’s performance at the debate seems to be giving MAGA much false confidence in their geriatric candidate.

    Suggesting that she’s going to get “destroyed” by Hannibal shark battery man seems like wishful thinking.

    Anyone criticising that, surely can’t keep a straight face with the absolute car crashes that Trump has been a part of.

    I couldn't believe someone would actually say that about their own wife, let alone a person running for political office, so I looked it up. Not surprisingly, that's not a quote from him at all. What he actually said:

    "I love my wife so much. I love her because she's who she is. Obviously, she's not a white person, and we've been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha. She's such a good mom."

    so he actually said “obviously she’s not a white person… but I just, I love Usha”

    That’s not drastically different is it

    I find it revealing the reason he gives again, relates to his obsession with child rearing. He barely addresses the white supremacy stuff, like he’s afraid to turn off those voters from him.

    Trump seemingly reveals that he’s being led around by handlers and has limited control or knowledge of his schedule:

    Signs of old age. Trump in apparent surprise told the crowd he thought he would be giving a prepared speech, until he got told differently by his handlers and learned he was at an event hosted by Tulsi Gabbard.

    “I figured I was going to come here and we’re going to make a speech. I have a speech all set for you. I was ready. [And they said, you’re] doing a town hall. I said, ‘Oh, nobody told me that.’ I said, ‘Who’s doing this? Tulsi?’ I said, ‘Well, that’s at least good news.’

    Kamala Harris has stated she doesn't regret backing Biden to remain on as President. That alone shows her judgement needs to be examined.

    Trump reacts to her Joint interview as boring and he is right. All Presidential hopefuls have done Joint interviews but the difference is they had already done single/lone interviews by themselves, Harris hasn't. It's almost like she's scared to 😉.

    Roll on the debate.

    Harris appeared to blame Trump for problems created in the last decade lol. Trump was President for four Years. Biden/Obama were also Presidents for a portion of the last decade. This Woman makes no sense whatsoever.

    Anyone who said they did would be lambasted for stabbing him in the back. It's a question you can't give a right answer too, no matter what she said, someone would say it paints her poorly. Her answer is in line with the type of president she has been selling. She also has to work with Joe for another 6 months no matter what way the election goes.

    Whether it's the right answer or not, I'd have thought poorly of her if she said she did regret it. It also gave her a really strong, albeit unexpected position for running.

    I still think she would be the stronger candidate even if she had started earlier but it would have been tough to deal with the Trump campaign as an observer if it happened earlier, although I would say, I imagine the Republicans would have been in a stronger position to chuck him for someone else.

    I don’t think Yvonne is a trump supporter though? Or did I miss something?

    I find some of the pro Harris posters posting style and comments very irritating at times and find myself trying to counter the narrative because of that.

    If I lived in the US there’s not a chance I’d vote for Trump btw.

    That fairly much is the same thing. He didn't actually condemn the white supremisists in defending his wife. He's a complete bag of ****.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,248 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    She answered questions, didn’t attack the host, didn’t ramble on about nothing. Cant say that about Trumps interviews.

    Cant wait for the debate either. A former AG against a convicted felon and rapist, lamb to the slaughter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,781 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    I haven't watched it yet, but I heard it was "normal", "boring", "nothing much to write home about".

    How nice is that?!

    Seems the campaign to make politics boring again is gaining steam. Choo choo!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,435 ✭✭✭✭hotmail.com


    She wants to get tougher on migration along the southern border, vows to continue supporting Israel including weaponry delivery and says she wouldn't mind appointing a Republican to her cabinet.

    It'll be interesting to see how this goes down with the American do gooders.

    Am. A desire for a demographic is included in the democratic process is not identity politics. Its a desire to make politics representative of the broader population. Viewing everything through the prism of identity is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,434 ✭✭✭crusd


    Has @sonofenoch returned to admit they knowingly spread lies and misinformation?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,434 ✭✭✭crusd


    The talking points have been circulated and ye are sticking to them regardless



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,790 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    did not see the interview. Was there much talk of batteries, sharks, windmills or the late, great Hannibal Lector ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,434 ✭✭✭crusd


    Mentions of Trump below, but you have been given your talking points and a proceeding with the strategy that if you lie often enough and blatantly enough some people will believe it

    Well, let’s start with the fact that when Joe Biden and I came in office during the height of a pandemic, we saw over 10 million jobs were lost. People — I mean, literally we are all tracking the numbers. Hundreds of people a day were dying because of COVID. The economy had crashed.

    In large part, all of that because of mismanagement by Donald Trump of that crisis. When we came in, our highest priority was to do what we could to rescue America. And today, we know that we have inflation at under 3%.

    Well, first of all, we had to recover as an economy, and we have done that. I’m very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than 3%, the work that we have done to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors. Donald Trump said he was gonna do a number of things, including allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Never happened. We did it.

    But I will say this: That Joe Biden and I and our administration worked with members of the United States Congress on an immigration issue that is very significant to the American people and to our security, which is the border. And through bipartisan work, including some of the most conservative members of the United States Congress, a bill was crafted which we supported, which I support.

    And Donald Trump got word of this bill that would’ve — that contributed to securing our border. And because he believes that it would not have helped him politically, he told his folks in Congress, “Don’t put it forward.” He killed the bill: a border security bill that would’ve put 1,500 more agents on the border. And let me tell you something. The Border Patrol endorsed the bill.

    Exactly.

    Plus, she's seen the lessons learned by others, like Hillary, who gave Trump too much respect.

    And I don't mean she needs to mock him, which would be an easy mark, she just needs to be the most intelligent and most informed one in the room. And she needs to be ready with the 'no/wrong/that is not true' and stomp all over his nonsense at every turn.

    I see Harris is now ahead in 6 of 7 swing states, and level pegging in the 7th, Arizona.

    She's gonna win this thing with 320 ECVs, and Real Donald Trump here should really begin stocking up on Kleenex, for his inevitable pathetic cry ****.

    As for Actual Donald Trump, he's going to start taking more hits than the battleship Bismarck. He's going to prison folks.

    I saw an interview with an ex-Trump advisor yesterday. He predicted that Trumps share of the vote would hold steady till around October and then seriously tank as that is the point where most people come off the fence and actually decide based on what they have seen so far. He predicted a massive landslide to Harris, far bigger than Bidens win against Trump.

    The tactic all over the place is clear.

    Harris is not perfect either therefore its justifiable to vote for Trump / not vote

    You see it elsewhere too:

    Ukraine is not perfect therefore you cant criticise Russia.

    Climate science can not answer every single question in detail therefore equal credence must be given to grifting charlatans

    etc etc etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,940 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    In spite of conspiracy theories by posters, that interview went entirely normally and she didn't use it to spend her time insulting the interviewer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,570 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Harris appeared to blame Trump for problems created in the last decade lol.

    Which "problems"?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,467 ✭✭✭Field east


    Also , he is so decisive on a national and international scale; his clear support for Putin, his cosy relationship with the NK. Premier ; his take on ‘World Order’ is dangerous re threatening NATO, pulling out of international environmental efforts ; climate denier, etc. He is a VERY DESTABLISING individual at ALL levels both at home and abroad

    . And to sum it all up we cannot believe a thing that he says.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,467 ✭✭✭Field east


    Neither is STORMING the CAPITAL to force Mike Pence to stop the vote re confirming Biden as president, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, very democratic



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,790 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    that's all they have to do, just act normal. That will be enough to win. I believe the vast majority of americans want normality. Trump is just looking like a deteriorating circus act. Leave him at it and just act normal

    You left out my favourite mention of Trump:

    BASH: Speaking of Republicans, I want to ask you about your opponent, Donald Trump. I was a little bit surprised, people might be surprised to hear that you have never interacted with him, met him face to face. That’s gonna change soon, but what I want to ask you about is what he said last month. He suggested that you happened to turn Black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.

    HARRIS: Yeah.

    BASH: Any—

    HARRIS: Same old, tired playbook. Next question, please. (LAUGH)

    BASH: That’s it?

    HARRIS: That’s it.

    Treat him like an irrelevance. It'll make him insanely mad(der)
