Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

Shall we just appreciate for a second that, in addition to all the extra distractions that his visit entails for people in the middle of active rescue operations, he has people waste time and energy that could be spent saving lives to build a sham miniature wall out of loose bricks?

"Did you really believe Trump was telling the truth when he said that Dingaan????"

“He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn't mean that. And if he did, you didn't understand it. And if you did, it's not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse!"

This explains it all…

I think there are a bunch of different possible explanations for the way the photo is; maybe the phone on the desk isn't the one she's making the call on and the earphone & mic are plugged into a different phone or a built-in communications unit, maybe the cable is there but with the way the phone is angled the end of it isn't visible it drops down below the desk and comes back up due to the length of the cable. Probably other possible reasons.

If anything, the less likely explanation is that they had her put the earphone in and then didn't think to plug it into the phone. I mean it's the most basic thing to do and think of.

Not that it matters, because even when Trump and his supporters can't find something to criticise, they'll just make sh*t up like saying Biden never called Kemp.

I mean taking shots at Kamala for what they perceive to be a faked photo op, but when Trump literally makes a false accusation, not only with no evidence but utterly denied and proven to be false by everyone involved... silence.

And this was what Trump actually did as President when Governors requested Hurriance assistance inn 2017.

We requested $900 million for Hurricane Matthew recovery, but will receive just $6.1 million -- less than 1% of the resources we need.

Weird that the people so quick to jump and shout yesterday when they fell for Trump's lies about Georgia have not a jot of criticism, either for Trump lying or such conduct. But then they'd have to admit to themselves they were duped, or admit they knew it was a lie all along but they are happy to spread Trump's lies.
And admit they are incapable of telling the difference between real leadership and the real help coming from the Biden-Harris administration, and a publicity charade from Trump.

Trump has also threatened that if re-elected he would withhold Federal disaster funding eg to combat wildfires from California because of their laws protecting endangered species.

The man is scum and doesn't care how many people's lives he ruins as long as he gets his power trip.

Nope. I stand by what I wrote.

And the more I see of Trump and his supporters, the more I’m leaning more towards them being mentally challenged. They’ve definitely gone way past weird.

This is from the guy you are advocating for. So here are some facts for you with respect to this guy.

He puts his fragile ego on full display, his xenophobia, his inability to tell the truth so much that him accusing the leader of country of planning to assassinate him is only the 3rd or 4th thing that comes to mind when reading this nonsense.

He could be in a position in 6 months where he is responsible for diplomatic relations with Iran in what is a highly volatile environment and rhetoric like this is completely inappropriate.

Trump could be President, there are many people guaranteed to vote for him given the 2 horse nature of US politics, but he is so far from being fit for the role it is incredible.

He lowered the bar in 2016, he did so again in 2020 and now he's digging deep to lower it further. I hope so much that he is beaten conclusively in November and that those in the Republican party who rolled over to enable him are dragged out the door with him.

I really couldn’t give a damn about either name calling photoshoots or who phoned who when. In my view the biggest threat of Trump getting re-elected is the war in the Middle East- we know Trump outdoes Harris in the polls on the issue of “feeling secure” - we know white under educated voters will likely favour Trump over Harris on this issue.
Biden is a lame duck president now - his hands are tied given he needs to give Harris a chance to get elected - so supplies of artillery etc will keep going to Israel, much as I’d say he’d prefer to move towards a ceasefire.

It is a version of weasel words.

Using weasel words may allow one to later deny any specific meaning if the statement is challenged, because the statement was never specific in the first place.

According to this tracker Trump hasn't fallen below 43% across the campaign and is probably averaging round 45%.

I can't think any of these cover anywhere near 45% of the American electorate

an ultra-religious household in the US,are a racist, or severely mentally challenged.

So that leaves this one

grew up in a Republican ‘til-I-die house in the US

It seems 10s of millions of perfectly sensible, moderate, mainstream but committed Republicans voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 and are all set to do so again, irrespective of whatever reservations they may have about his 'character' and 'fitness for office'…

Weasel wording.

I hate to be the ‘copy/paste’ guy but in an era where email forwards are dead this is how I’m sharing this. Robert Reich sent a reminder mail about the terrible things Trump did during his presidency. Here’s the first 10. It ran to many, many more.

#1. Trump fueled division and sparked a record uptick in hate crimes. 

#2. Murder went way up under Trump. In fact, he presided over the largest-ever single-year increase in homicides in 2020. A number of factors contributed to that, but a big one is … 

#3. Gun sales broke records under Trump, who has bragged about how he “did nothing” to restrict guns as president in spite of … 

#4. Under Trump, America suffered more than 1,700 mass shootings. 

#5. Trump said there were "very fine people" among the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. 

#6. Trump allied himself with the Proud Boys, a violent hate group that helped orchestrate the January 6 Capitol attack. 

#7. He got rid of Roe v. Wade, and brags about it constantly. 

#8. One of Trump’s Supreme Court justices was Brett Kavanaugh, a man accused of sexual assault by multiple women. 

#9. Trump’s White House interfered in the FBI’s investigation of Brett Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual assaults. 

#10. Trump has been convicted of committing 34 felonies while in office. The criminally false business filings he got convicted for in New York? All of them were committed while he was president.
