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

Or posed smiling with a picture of a hostage?

Or danced during the 7th October ceremony?

It's a bit telling that you haven't shared the source. So that growth is more likely to be rhetoric that has become popular with Trump supporters.

The share of Americans mentioning words such as “lie” or “liar” when asked what they’ve heard about Harris remains quite small — just 6% in the latest data, compared with 15% who mentioned something related to immigration, for example — but it has grown over time, rising from 3% or less prior to the Democratic convention to peak at 9% shortly after the debate.

The man-baby strikes again. Cancelling a 60 Minutes interview (which all candidates have done since the 60s) because he wanted an apology for something that never happened, and because he didn't want to be fact checked. The fact that this election is apparently so close is an indictment on the American people and their obvious lack of education.

It's worth noting that Peter Thiel is an investor in Polymarket which calls into question its impartiality.

So much weird with Ron DeSantis this week.

It was confirmed by his staff he was dodging calls from Kamala Harris as Helene and Milton hurricanes have come over Florida. DeSantis was rolled in the media for playing partisan games. He wasn't just dodging her calls but the Presidents. Similarly last year he was dodging visits by the Biden administration - it all reads as his deeply partisan attacks against Kamala Harris since she became the contender driving his decision making, and also he is probably still feeling humiliated from the first disaster event he did with Biden over a condo collapse. He's been highly virulent against the administration ever since:

Fast forward to today and Ron once again dressed in business attire, and scheduled air time with Fox & Friends to blast Kamala Harris for scolding him ghosting the administration's calls yesterday:

"You know, moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone who calls themselves a leader says they’re gonna put politics aside and put the people first. People are in desperate need of support right now. And playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations, these are the height of the emergency situations. It’s just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first." - Kamala Harris

Since Helene hit, DeSantis has been working hand in glove with the Trump campaign to politicize the crisis, calling the federal response 'floundering' and accusing the government of 'failing to act.' Members of his Florida State Guard were even apparently allowed to go on Fox News and politicize further (something National Guardsmen would never be allowed to do, the National Guard remains apolitical) while there, they continued to shill for Ron DeSantis and spread misinformation about FEMA.

DeSantis said of Kamala Harris,

Well, I think she should look in the mirror. We’ve been on an emergency footing for two weeks straight, round the clock, 24-7. We’ve been working in my office, our division of emergency management, helping people prepare for Hurricane Helene, helping effectuate rescues of people after Hurricane Helene, helping people pick up the pieces of their lives after Helene, and then have to also turn around and prepare for major impacts and maybe even more impacts from Hurricane Milton. Be able to have rescue personnel ready to help people and then, of course, help with the power restoration, all these things to do.

So that’s been my sole focus. My focus has not been on dealing with Kamala Harris. I did I saw the news report. I didn’t know she tried to contact me. But I’d also say it’s not about you, Kamala. It’s about the people of Florida. My focus is exactly where it should be. And I can tell you this. I’ve worked on these hurricanes under both President Trump and President Biden. Neither of them ever tried to politicize it. She has never called on any of the storms we’ve had since she’s been vice president until apparently now.

Why, all of a sudden, is she trying to parachute in and inject herself when she’s never shown any interest in the past? We know it’s because of politics. We know it’s because of her campaign. I have zero time to entertain these political games. We’re going to continue to do what we need to do to prepare and respond to what may be one of the most damaging storms in the history of the United States. So she says focusing on protecting your people is selfish. I think she ought to look in the mirror.

Which all reads as hypocrisy and projection: he's on Fox & Friends in his business attire making political hay, which cuts right against his claim of a "sole focus" on rescue and recovery, round the clock, 24/7, and he's parachuted his politics into other states like North Carolina, we know, because of politics. We know because he wants to run for President again in 2028.

Only after reporting broke that he was ignoring their calls did he finally pick up the phone to President Biden yesterday. Cutting against his previous attacks on the federal government about Helene, DeSantis told Brian Kilmeade "yes, all of our requests [to the federal government] have been answered."

Expect more partisan antics from Desantis after the Milton comes through tomorrow and leaves around Thursday.

 and because he didn't want to be fact checked.

Worth noting 60 Minutes all but called this excuse steaming horse manure by replying that "we fact check all of our stories" - this should have come as zero surprise to the Trump campaign - after all he did an interview with them last cycle, and the cycle before that:

But, unfortunately, last week, Trump canceled. The Trump campaign had told us that the interview would be this past Thursday at Mar-a-Lago. They also asked us whether we would meet 78-year-old Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was grazed in an assassination attempt. We agreed. On September 9th, Trump’s Communications Director Steven Cheung sent a text that said, quote, “I’m working with our advance team to see logistically if Butler would work in addition to the sit-down.” ‘Sit-down’ meaning the interview in Florida.

Days later, Cheung called to say, quote, “The president said, ‘Yes.'” Then, a week ago, Trump backed out. The campaign offered shifting explanations. First, it complained that we would fact-check the interview. We fact-check every story. Later, Trump said he needed an apology for his interview in 2020. Trump claims correspondent Lesley Stahl said in that interview that Hunter Biden’s controversial laptop came from Russia. She never said that.

Trump has said his opponent doesn’t do interviews because she can’t handle them. He had previously declined another debate with Harris. So, tonight may have been the largest audience for the candidates between now and election day. Our questions addressed the economy, immigration, reproductive rights, and the wars in the Middle East and Europe. Both campaigns understood this special would go ahead if either candidate backed out.

It's increased by 100% since the last survey. If you're suggesting they polled mainly Trump voters it's proably even worse news for Kamala as they would have held that view historically, so the increase came from the small amount of democrats and swing voters they polled to get the low number.

My point was CNN doesn't seem to be as all in on Kamal as they were on Hillary, the tone is different.

Business Insider reports that a porn industry group is paying to run ads on porn websites in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. The group called Hands Off My Porn, or HOMP if you prefer, is calling attention to the fact Trump's Project 2025 has a blueprint for banning porn. That's right we're now in the weird timeline where people spend $100k to put political advertisements on porn websites. To be fair, at least the ads are still porn related, right.

So what crazy shyte has the orange cockwomble come out with lately?, I've kinda lost interest, only catching bits here and there.

And what are his policies?, I don't believe that question has been answered yet.

Warned and 1 week forum ban applied

It might sound low, that's why i'm not a fan of percentages, map it onto people and it's 10 million odd voters. That sentiment inceasing at at a rate of 100% over a few weeks isn't good news for her campaign.

That shows up the nearly same way for Trump in the same stack of data - alongside an increase of respondents associating him with "misinformation." Respondents do not associate Harris with misinformation.

Elon seem to have taken over that tourch for him, hadn't even heard of Reid Hoffman until today, himself and Tucker seemed pretty confident why he was all in on Kamala, he's afraid Trump will release the Epstein names.

Abortion rights may yet win this for Harris - white women are moving to the left - also interestingly the younger voters remember the “grab her by the $#**¥ “ comment of 2016 when they were teens and that didn’t go down well with them- now’s they’re chance to pay back

And that's coming across as incredibly biased, her interviews have largely gotten positive responses.

"They're eating the dogs"?
