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

The guy arrested outside the Trump rally has been charged with " two misdemeanour weapons charges"

Also ,according to the BBC report

"Multiple passports with multiple names and multiple driving licences were found in the car, the sheriff said, adding that the licence plate was "home-made" and not registered"

This is pretty crazy but just seems normal now.

What is going on here?

Again the sheriff is saying he had no plans to harm Trump.That seems to ring a bell as Trump had the same line on Jan 6 as he tried to give his gun carrying supporters a free pass to the White House.

Was this guy there to protect Trump or maybe to look for anyone who looked out of place? He is a "certified" Trump supporter.

Doing a vigilante act and a sign of things to come on and around election day ?

That's the thing about the whole rhetroric of "The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun". How are you meant to tell who the good guys with the guns are, and what happens when a bad guy with a gun thinks he's the good guy with a gun?"

A nation of misfits?

(btw you attributed my post to @LambshankRedemption when you quoted me.Down to poor software on the site I think)

It's some of the silliest stuff. I think it really took off because early on into the sovcit movement's popularity there are some videos of them bamboozling cops and judges who just don't even know how to react to the sheer stupidity of it. But that time has long come and gone. No you can't just get out of traffic violations by rephrasing your driving as "traveling" kiddos.

Apparently some states, for example Florida, has gotten so sick of SovCits that if one of them produces of binder of papers (Psudo-legal BS) to a Trooper instead of a Driving Licence that the Trooper will, in very short order, smash their window in and drag them from the traveller’s driver’s seat.

Similarly in court, increasingly judges have been swift at shooting down and holding these people in contempt when they start messing about and pretending that they have a magic psudo-legal Get Out of Jail card that they somehow think will work.

Much like MAGA, evidence that this way of life is generally useless and destructive is still being ignored, and much like MAGA might take some years to get this level of stupidity out of America’s systems.

Kamala is forced to do an interview like this on Fox because she has no other choice. Desperate times require desperate measures. She's losing ground in the race

There is no strategic value for Trump to do any interviews now.

Most of the polls have Harris and Trump neck and neck in the swing states within the margin of error. And honestly I don't really put much faith in the polls.

But even if I did that's still not an excuse for Trump being afraid of another debate or not giving an interview with a less pandering network.

In addition what use is an interview that will almost certainly put her in an unfriendly light if she's struggling so desperately?

There is no strategic value for Trump to do any interviews now.

Then why is he still doing them on Fox? As recently as yesterday. Doesn't seem like your reasons hold up to any basic scrutiny.

No, I think he's just scared. Much simpler explanation.

What about when Harris was avoiding interviews like the plague and Trump was doing loads of them who was the coward then ?

The double standards are unreal.

Speaking of interviews why wont she do one with Time magazine ?

Maybe they wont edit it like 60 minutes when she coughs up a word salad.

The reason she is doing more interviews now is because she has to.

Her strategy was to avoid as many tough interviews as possible as she was leading in the polls, run the clock down so to speak.

Her campaign team have admitted this, its not a secret.

Harris' team believes limiting interactions with the press is the right strategy — even if it frustrates reporters, some close to the campaign told Axios.

As of Sept 19th Harris had been a candidate for 59 days and Walz for 44 days

During those 59 days, Republicans Donald Trump and JD Vance participated in more than 70 interviews and press conferences with TV and print reporters while Harris and Walz have took part in seven, according to an Axios analysis.

Vance alone has participated in more than seven times more interviews and press conferences than Harris and Walz combined during that time.

Trump and Vance's 25-plus interviews during the time period with conservative commentators on Fox News, Newsmax, The New York Post, and other outlets weren't included. 

Stupid people with guns. What could possibly go wrong.

😐️

What’s interesting about those figures is that Trump hasn’t actually done that many more interviews then Harris because Vance is out there doing lots of them - but it’s nice spin for Trump to make it sound like he’s doing more than he actually is.

And it seems petty to complain about Harris not doing interviews when she is doing them now? I don’t have an issue with her not doing them for a while when she got the nomination - she’s had a comparatively short campaign so taking some time to get her message and policy clear before being interviewed makes sense.

Trump, by comparison, has been the de facto nominee for over a year and is a former president. He should have his policy down and ready to be challenged and should be out there defending it and letting the American public know why he’s better for them.

But he’s not, because he can’t. He has no policy to speak of, when challenged on anything he gets offended, calls the journalists mean or nasty and says they should have their licenses taken away. I mean, surely anyone can see that that behaviour is completely pathetic. He has all the conviction of a toddler.

Kamala is going to do an interview on Fox. However that turns out or however biased they are against her, it will at least show she’s far more prepared for the job than he is by talking to people across the political spectrum about why she’s the best candidate, and she’s ready for challenging interviews. It is craven and weak by Trump that he cannot match that.

It's not that exciting tbh, she entered the race late so she intentionally timed when she started doing interviews.

How has he normalised it? If that isn't sarcasm, then I probably can't help. And, talking about fake tan, and you conflate that with whatever you are attempting to relate it with. It is entirely bizarre that he walks around covered in fake tan in a circle around his face.
