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

Now that Melania has come out with an opposite view to him on abortion, we can expect Donald to denounce her as a Never Trumper, a RINO and a 'Low IQ Individual'

Watched a bit of the artificially tanned ones rallies earlier.

Low energy would be a understatement, sounded like a record being played at the wrong speed.

Slow motion ranting and raving.

No wonder people are getting bored and leaving.

It's beyond cringe.

Warned and 1 day forum ban applied

No better man than Donald to sit on both sides of the fence

It's like that time Alan Partridge impaled his foot on a spike and dry heaved his way through a presentation to Dantes of Reading.

Shouldn't "Marje" be more concerned with goings on in Springfield?

Those geese won't just freeze themselves.

Saw a couple videos on social media earlier of pictures of typical mid-west towns in America and Trump doing a voice over imploring the people to be strong, that help is on the way, that they just need to have faith and vote and he'll take the country out of the mess it is in and save everyone in it.

The thing is, it's an AI audio clip. They can't even use anything he has released as part of official campaign material or something he said at a rally for this type of stuff, they literally have to pretend that he is thoughtful, strong and a good communicator.

I know it's not the campaign doing this, but you'd think even Republicans would hear it and put 2 and 2 together and at least some of them would have stopped and thought, 'What are we doing here?'.

Same goes with the fetishized AI images of him with a six pack and the likes. Aren't they supposed to be the 'facts' over 'feelings' crowd?

Speaking of AI, CNN’s Jake Tapper demonstrated how high fidelity that AI generated video has gotten, using an AI generated monologue of an AI generated rendering of Jake Tapper, dubbed Deep Jake.

We have seen manipulated images and spliced up clips ie. cheap fakes for decades (a long time favorite of trolls online was reducing playback speed of Pelosi videos to make her sound drunk eg.) but we knew eventually there would come a time when computing advanced to the point where you could “photoshop” entire videos to whatever you want - and well it seems pretty clear that time is essentially now. Video inside:

I do think we will see AI generated fakeries in the next few weeks making bombastic claims and I do think we will see them peddled by bad actors particularly from MAGA, probably much closer to November 4th to mitigate the backlash that the round of fact checks would result in. I only hope when it happens that platforms are swift to shut down the nonsense.

If Trump is so gung ho about bombing Iran's nuclear capabilities, why did he permit them to develop them by ripping up the Iran Nuclear Deal? Why didn't he bomb them like he has been saying to, when he was President? Why did he not respond when Iran carried out the largest ballistic missile against a US military base in history? (← free Wapo Link) Easy to talk tough now when he doesn't have to back it up with executive action.

This is the same candidate that people on thread have been claiming is some kind of 'anti-war hawk?' Touting his platform stating that he will "prevent world war 3?"

'…what he meant was…'

You know, I rebuilt the entire military jets, everything I built it, including nuclear, and I hated to build the nuclear. But I got to know firsthand the power of that stuff, and I’ll tell you what, we have to be totally prepared. We have to be absolutely prepared. But when they asked him that question, the answer should have been hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later. And that’s why they should, if they’re going to do it, if they’re going to do it, they’re going to do it, but we’ll find out whatever their plans are.

He supports her how? Her right to free speech maybe. But he categorically rejects her view. Not only that, we can assume that he knew of her views and yet ignored them and went ahead to push through SCOTUS appointments picked solely for their views on Roe v wade. He has spent much of the last few years celebrating how successful he was he going against her views.

He doesn't believe in a woman's right to decide, he thinks they should pay a price for making such a choice.

He wants that decision to be taken by the state legislation.

All his actions show he doesn't support her view in the slightest.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I think he maybe lying.

Liz Cheney gave a great speech about just what matters in this election, when she endorsed Harris and said she'd vote for her. Worth watching, a rare thing these days to hear a decently delivered speech.

She's just another contract employee.

Not a word about Shaggy, Scooby or the flying spaghetti monster either.

Cheney told you where she came from, what happened, the threat represented by Trump and why she's endorsing Harris.

Great to hear a good speech once in awhile.

There was at least a rumour of a 'catch and kill' by the Enquirer regarding a doorman at the Turd Tower that was an intermediary for such. Never seemed to gain any legs.

But, if Donald hadn't, had his dad? Oh, I know:

"A lot of people are saying it. I don't know but a lot of people say it's true."
