Failed, weak and dangerously liberal
Link to Quote: New Trump campaign attack ad rips Kamala Harris over border crisis (nypost.com)
The Trump campaign is coming at Kamala Harris, and it is coming at her in the best way possible. A new campaign ad, fresh off the development floor attacks the extreme positions of Kamala Harris:
The attack ad ended with by branding Harris “failed. Weak. Dangerously liberal.”
The ad campaign opened with:
During a campaign rally in Minnesota on Saturday, Trump pointed out how the media has worked overtime in trying to reinvent her. He asked a crowd recently if they noticed that the cackle was gone? He started out by calling her the "border czar." Pathetically USA Today called that a lie. It is in fact true :
Yet another Axios article from that April, meanwhile, stated as fact that “Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar, said she would be looking at the ‘root causes’ that drive migration.”
Axios Accuses GOP of Fabricating Kamala Harris’s ‘Border Czar’ Title — 3 Years After Reporting She Was Biden’s Border Czar (msn.com)
The media gave her that name and they can't take it back. Trump told the truth.
Trump went on to say:
"Kamala Harris' deadly destruction of America's borders is completely and totally disqualifying for her to be president. You can't have a person like this as president."

The Harris views are all on camera and occurred not that long ago. Trump must stay the course.
In the news:
Ukraine, after months of fighting, recently lost two villages in the southeast to Russia.
The drug lord known as El Chapo abducted a fellow cartel leader and forced him onto a plane bound for the US delivering him to American officials.
The U.S. and several Latin American countries said that Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, could not claim victory in last weekend’s election without releasing the full vote count.
Joe Biden proposed radical changes to the Supreme Court. He said the justices had undermined civil rights protections with “extreme” rulings on issues including voting rights and abortion. The left has never accepted that a right to abortion never existed within the Constitution. The proposals require congressional approval. The House speaker, Mike Johnson, called the plan “dead on arrival.”
The Israeli military detained nine reservists over the suspected sexual abuse of a Palestinian detainee. Crowds supporting the reservists broke into two military bases in protest sparking an internal crisis.

Good morning.
William Calley, the only American convicted in the murder of hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese civilians in the atrocity known as the My Lai Massacre , has died at the age of 80. His name was one of the lightning rods for the 60's radicals.
... since the general consensus within the trump campaign is that he's too inept and cowardly to debate her.
She'll have to work out a debate deal.
trump has already flipped twice on a debate in the last 24 hours.
The only person that Trump promised to debate was Joe Biden.
Biden was overthrown by members of his own party.
Big whoop! Kamala has flip-flopped on fracking, since she realizes she has to win Pennysylvania.
Just like Biden, Trump will now only debate if he has to; and it will be on terms he dictates.
Right now there is no reason to debate Harris.
Chances are the decision will be made after the DNC national convention and everyone sees who the VP pick is; and the glow of the being the first minority woman nominee wears off.
Bitching about it will not change it; but we all know Democrats will never stop.
no one is expecting anything less than blind partisanship by maga for their hero's cowardice. every day he refuses are polling points for democrats.
thrashing around in conspiracy only makes one sink faster into reality. so sorry that the maga anticipated '68 style convention in chicago got cancelled, but trump standards of racism and misogyny are still in play...
oh, the irony...
Why should she have to work out any kind of deal with the convicted felon and rapist?
,,,and impotent
Why? Because he's a fucking pussy.
And Biden is a Lion …..
biden is no longer a candidate.
I like wussy - wimp/pussy - which is what the 'man' child former 'president' is.
Yep, funny rapidly things change in the land of loons
His name was a lightning rod for anyone with a conscience.
Was Trump talking about himself?
... war criminal.
It was very hard to know who the enemy was in Nam.
A kid who would say "GI #1" on one day would frag you the next.

You know, when I hear that, and I believe you, I have to believe it was the saddest time for the US military.
Oh yes, the CA election which pitted one radical vs another.
How extreme was her opponent?
why not try explaining the contribution instead of deflecting ...
I think I just did.
Who did Harris run against in the San Francisco District Attorney election?
What would be worse is attacking your opponent's supporters and the greater American electorate.
Why not try to explain the significance of something that happened 10 years ago.
I removed most of this thread for no value, taunting, and all around nasty talk. Knock it off or I will hand out big tickets. Only warning.
I guess trump knew he could buy her cheap just in case he needed a prosecutor on the payroll. From the amount on the check, I guess he put a higher value on Stormy's services than Kamalas.
Another self own by progressives…..
Gee, that's a lot more than the $15 that the 'attempted assassination' attempter gave to a Democrat cause.
And when President Biden was asked about Speaker Johnsons response, he said Speaker Johnson was dead on arrival, I hope this stupid fucker isn't trying to ger another political opponent killed.
They may have stopped. It appears that they have replaced comparing Trump to Hitler with calling Trump and Vance "weird." Yesterday just about every left-wing media pundit used the word "weird."
Yesterday just about every left-wing media pundit used the word "weird."
yeah, the coordination was pretty obvious.
The memes created in response from the right were pretty funny. A very target rich environment to choose from.
And a new email will come out daily until they find the term that polls the best. pathetically simpleminded people. They read someone else's thoughts off a teleprompter and people value their opinion for some stupid reason.
I’m just enjoying people who think it’s completely normal to attend “white dudes for Harris” or “white women for Harris” (with men wearing women face involved) zoom meetings calling anyone else weird.
I think incel was a new apt descriptor of them and some of their cult members
Comparing Trump to Hitler will never be inaccurate.
It defines those who hate him.
I don’t think that you’re reicht. Hitler wouldn’t have stepped down in 2021.
Hmmm... I think I'll stick with the dangerously liberal Harris over the dangerously authoritarian Trump. Even if only to watch all the MAGA Populist heads explode over the next 4 years. HA!
As I proved yesterday to someone here, the only one who has demonstrated authoritarian control has been Joe Biden.
Yup, if Harris pulls it off all the gnashing of teeth and whining online will be fun.
the current levels of fear and desperation are already palpable ...
... full on damage control.
Not as much as the ghost town we'll find if she loses.
you cannot stop imagining that people here are afraid to engage with you.
its "weird".
Ya!

T he US intelligence community has “observed” Iran trying to influence the 2024 election — and keep former President Donald Trump from a second term in the White House, according to a Monday unclassified briefing.
An official at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told reporters that intelligence agencies have “observed Tehran working to influence the presidential election, probably because Iranian leaders want to avoid an outcome they perceive would increase tensions with the United States.”
US intel agencies: Iran trying to influence election, keep Trump from winning in 2024 (msn.com)
They might as well add China to Iran.
China can't afford to have Democrats out of the White House.
That is a given.
And in previous US elections Putin has spent billions to subvert them.
Putin has blackmail on Trump and uses it to great effect. That's what Putin does.
Putin knows Donny for a baby in first grade. Putin is KGB personified.
We need a president who knows Putin and Kim for the evil that they are.
Where are you getting your numbers?
Exactly, like Bush II’s Axis of Evil.
A Crackerjack box along with a Kamala talking point decoder ring.
The list of Democrats screaming "not it" to being Kamala's VP grows.
So she is following Reagan's policy? Are you going to bad mouth Reagan now?
A Reagan Legacy: Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants
You and I made the same point and quoted the same article at the same time. I did not see your comment until mine posted.
P.S. I beat you by 2 minutes...
No. Reagan fell for Democrat lies about securing the border as part of the deal. And once the amnesty was given, they had one hell of a lapse in memory about what was promised.
They never mention that and Harris has never qualified her mass amnesty with any border security requirements.
Au contraire. Great minds are critical, independent thinkers. Unlike everyone else.
From the first paragraph of the NPR propaganda article:
"As the nation's attention turns back to the fractured debate over immigration, it might be helpful to remember that in 1986, Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration reform bill into law. It was sold as a crackdown: There would be tighter security at the Mexican border, and employers would face strict penalties for hiring undocumented workers."
In 1986 President Reagan made a deal with congress: One time amnesty in return for a secure border.
But democrats reneged:
President Ronald Reagan's "biggest regret" was granting amnesty as part of 1986 immigration-reform legislation and then counting on Congress to secure the border, which never happened.
Ward, a former state senator from Lake Havasu City, and her campaign attribute the claim to Ed Rollins, who served in the White House as an aide to Reagan and who was national director of Reagan's 1984 re-election campaign.
Did Ronald Reagan regret 1986 'amnesty' law? (azcentral.com)
Are you really trying to rewrite history in order to make a ridiculous claim?
It was coupled with border enforcement.
Repeating it while ignoring that is obvious to everyone.
Why do it?
It is ridiculous.
Yeah, Vic, nobody is arguing against that. The point is the Reagan recognized the role of amnesty. And I agree with him. There is a role for amnesty in the big picture.
That is not true.
Reagan recognized a onetime amnesty in return for certain conditions.
Democrats want no conditions.
maga republicans totally whiffed it on the best immigration deal they wrote, and were ever going to get, at the request of a convicted felon and thrice indicted criminal defendant. small wonder trump doesn't want to squander his only campaign issue by facing harris in a debate. her lack of any job experience will shred trump like the common criminal he is, and he and his campaign hierarchy know it.
No sale.
She'll mop the floor with his stupid ass. Of course, there will be endless whining and excuses as to why he won't debate her. He's nothing but a chicken shit coward.
Chances are very good that you are correct.
So you admit that Reagan granted amnesty, good for you. Amazing how many right wingers are trying to rewrite that portion of history.
Funny.
...and here it is 40 years later and congress still has not done anything. I think think that it is a wonderful campaign tool for both sides to cudgel each other with. Besides that, the amount which it truly matters isn't that much. By all means, keep bashing.
If we have learned nothing else, the last two presidents have taught us how much a president can do to secure the border or to undermine its security.
In case you forgot, under Biden's term, Congress did act and one of the most conservative Senate republicans drafted immigration reform with bipartisan support. Trump then ordered House republicans to block it.
Congress did act
No. It didn't.
But the 1986 Act gives the President quite a bit of power, the Democrats/Lankford proposed Senate bill would have weakened that.
You'd think that Biden issuing an EO after the bill's failure that that contained stronger measures than the failed bill would have tipped Democrats off to that, but here we are.
Can you provide a link to that, obviously if there was a Senate bill you have a link to it right? here is all the senate Bills for this session, U.S. Senate: Commonly Searched for Legislation (118th Congress)
Amnesty is a D policy so it should come as no surprise that a D supports it. While I personally am against an unqualified amnesty, the concept of amnesty as part of an overall program that shores up the border is logically sensible.
That said, note that the border problem keeps emerging even though we have worked on it for decades.
Anyway, remember what Reagan said:
If the pieces of shits in the democrat congress could be trusted they might stand a chance, but those worthless fuckers have been lying for decades.
I guess when he isn't showing his support for women by abandoning them to die, his legacy is to continue to fuck over the hard working Americans who do service jobs.
But the result was not a crackdown, because the border security part of that deal was not kept. As a matter of fact the final version of the bill was watered down:
An effort to create a national ID system for workers was stripped out of the legislation under a deluge of criticism, including a last-minute speech by Rep. Edward Roybal, D-Calif., who invoked Nazi Germany.
"Obviously the damn bill didn't work. They took the guts right out," said former Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wy., a leader at the time.
Memory of immigration reform under Ronald Reagan haunts current debate (tampabay.com)
None of that has anything to do with Kamala Harris calling for amnesty which she does not couple with border security or anything else.
See @7.1.7
Reagan recognized that amnesty has a role to play in the greater picture. As I noted, I am not for wholesale amnesty, it should be part of a comprehensive program designed to control illegal immigration while being practical. But it is not even noteworthy that Harris, a D, would support a long-term D policy. And it is incorrect to suggest that amnesty in any form is fundamentally wrong.
You are trying to compare two positions that are quite opposite.
But it is not even noteworthy that Harris, a D, would support a long-term D policy.
We all know why democrats favor amnesty. California turned blue partly because of illegal migration.
And it is incorrect to suggest that amnesty in any form is fundamentally wrong.
It is wrong if it allows a path to citizenship.
No, Vic, I am pointing out that your attack on Harris, a D, for supporting a long-standing D policy is weak. And pointing out that amnesty in and of itself is a logical portion of the larger picture of illegal immigration control ... and that Reagan saw that too.
No, TiG, you haven't proven my case weak. Harris is in favor of amnesty for all with benefits.
In a way they already have amnesty. Do we ever prosecute these people for entering the border illegally. That is a felony. I thought nobody was above the law. Isn't that your battle cry?
She is to the left of Carter and Biden.
Harris is to the left of Biden in many areas, especially immigration. During her 2020 presidential bid, Harris, a “Medicare for all” backer, supported free, taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. Compare that to Biden, who wanted to let illegal immigrants purchase an unsubsidized public option healthcare plan. Both are bad ideas, but at least Biden opposed giving free health insurance plans to illegal immigrants.
A Kamala Harris presidency would be great news for illegal immigrants - Washington Examiner
Having fun yet?
Legal status and the ability to work, but they can never be citizens and their children cannot either.
There has to be some penalty for entering illegally.
there has to be a penalty for hiring undocumented workers first.
That was tried. The bill had no enforcement mechanism.
and we all know by whom. go figure...
If one can read they might know.
You will never admit that your case is weak. But trying to criticize a D for support of long-term D policies is weak by definition. It is a 'duh' point.
Your attempt to bring Harris down to Trump's level is an act of futility. No matter what you argue, the fact will remain that Trump is an irresponsible, vindictive, loose-cannon narcissist clown who will abuse the power of the presidency for his own whims. He is an abysmal character who should never be given access to any public power.
As PotUS, he oversaw massive spending, created tax cuts that contributed to inflation, tried to talk down the pandemic in a futile attempt to keep the stock market high rather than directly act on the pandemic, and was an embarrassment to this nation as its voice and face.
My biggest concern with the Ds has always been fiscal responsibility. With Trump, the Ds become the party of fiscal responsibility.
As a GOP PotUS, Trump's spending is even worse than that of a D PotUS since fiscal responsibility was a key point of the historical GOP agenda.
The National Debt Increased Under Trump Despite His Promise to Reduce It
Daily total national debt from 2009 to present.
Trump was a horrible PotUS and would be worse on a second term.
What you forgot is that Speaker Pelosi demanded that Trump spend more:
Pelosi sets spending demands for two-year budget deal | Reuters
That came as Trump was trying to rebuild the military that Obama had let go to hell.
Prior to that the previous Speaker had planned to pay for a tax cut with a replacement for Obamacare, which he thought was in the bag. The problem was that Republican constituents had already been receiving benefits from Obamacare and many Republican reps couldn't vote to replace it anymore, which as we all know led to one spiteful Senator turning his thumb down to what would have made the tax cut equitable.
What else do you have?
The PotUS is pegged with deficit spending and national debt. The blame or credit goes to the PotUS because without his signature (unless overridden) the spending is not authorized.
Been like this forever, Vic. Trump does not get a pass.
Tried to sell National Parks to corporations, tweeted top secret info from his cell phone, talked about using a nuke to calm a hurricane, killed trade agreements that politically hurt China, raised tariff's that ended up harming farmers and then had to bail them out with government spending, wanted a military parade with tanks past the White House, used undercover ICE Agents to illegally detain peaceful protesters, cleared out peaceful protesters for a photo op, oversaw the longest government shutdown in history..
Another fucking fallacy from a non veteran.
BINGO
I know you disagree, but the "problem" with immigration is not the number of people but the extent to which they are vetted and cleared by the government.
Trump is unhinged when he tells of millions of people released for prisons and psychiatric wards...
Felony for them being here and for felony for hiring them
Our immigration (as with any nation) must be limited commensurate with our ability (and desire) to absorb new citizens.
Of course. Even when I generalize your comment it remains true.
It appears the majority of Veterans, including this one, disagree with you. Most have an unfavorable view of the number Obama did on the military.
https://www.militarytimes.com/news/2017/01/08/the-obama-era-is-over-here-s-how-the-military-rates-his-legacy/[✘]
at the same time "they" will tell you that Obama added $ 8.3 trillion to the national debt
much of that went into military pay, benefits, modernization and nuclear weapons modernization.
Yes, the amount for weapons system modernization remained relatively flat from Bush II to the Obama years. Cost overruns for a aircraft carrier and the Joint Strike Fighter hurt the budget. Both Bush and Obama with both aisles in Congress failed to offset the costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Congress also resisted Pentagon efforts to close excess bases.
In my experience most were Republicans first and always as was I at the time. No big surprise there.
A five year old survey of 1,664 service members and quotes from the Heritage Foundation doesn't impress me.
Calling the force "hollow", "depleted", are always lies in my opinion. Borderline treason by Russian standards.
Any flattening of spending was the fault of Congress and sequestration which was a bipartisan poison pill created in 2011
Funding was also down because the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were supposedly over, troops were withdrawn and the force was reduced by, 40,000.
The rest was Goebel's student Donald Trump repeating lies about the US Military to a gullible audience.
We have had family members in the Army, Air Force, Navy and 2 Marines. In my experience it is always the Corps who think they are right 100% of time and their views are unshakable in spite of the facts.
Keep enjoying the brown Kool Aid.
Every BRAC hearing was a shit show to save jobs and votes.
Willow Grove has been closed for years since the vote to close and promises of funding to clean up the environmental waste from decades of spills and leaks of dozens of chemical cleaners, fuel and deicing foam.
Now it just sits vacant waiting for the environmental cleanup funding that Congress promised..
yay BRAC...

The only PotUS who has engaged in fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement in a failed attempt to steal a presidential election believes that a failure to control the border disqualifies his rival.
Trump supporters continue to ignore that their nominee is a scoundrel who will abuse the office of the presidency for his own whims while desperately trying to find ways to bring Harris down to Trump's level.
This is an act of futility and shows just how detrimental blind partisanship is to our nation.
some of them haven't even hit rock bottom yet...
I posted the exact text from the election interference indictment in a comment yesterday. The couple people who responded did nothing but try to change the subject. Its pitiful how little they know or want to know.
It is pitiful that people will knowingly act to give the power of the presidency to a proven scoundrel and traitor simply because of partisanship.
This is not directed to John. The rest of this thread was deleted for multiple violations. Knock it off. Only warning.
it's difficult for them to discuss a subject their favorite media outlets don't report...
You keep forgetting he was President and an excellent one btw.
Trump was a horrible PotUS. Just amazing that someone could declare that a traitor who engaged in fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement in an attempt to steal a presidential election would be deemed as an excellent PotUS. A clown who tried to talk down the pandemic to (misguided) keep the stock market high rather than take immediate action. A proven con-man who demonstrably will abuse the power of his office for his own personal whims.
Just amazing.
But you can't show us how.
election interference in georgia, the big lie, 1/6/21, willful retention of classified documents and obstructing the process of their rightful and warranted return.
Radical rule
he just did
No that is the media propaganda he is repeating.
Trump followed every suggestion Dr Fauci made. He also got a vaccine developed in record time.
Finally, more Americans died under Biden with the vaccine, than under Trump before it was developed.
this is exactly why he should have gone on trial in all of his cases before the election
I'm getting out of here before I say something that gets me suspended. TiG is doing an excellent job of educating you and doesn't need my help
he just did
I posted, yesterday, the exact text of the indictment charging trump with trying to steal the election , and all you could do was try and change the subject.
you were busted on all this long ago
Why? You got the conviction you wanted. Oh wait, that is going to be overturned right after the election.
No, he didn't. He indicted Dr Fauci.
What court issued that indictment?
still trying to change the subject
You mean it was a political indictment?
No shit!
We all saw him do it. The evidence is overwhelming. You produce yet another absurdly weak argument trying to suggest that what we all witnessed is merely propaganda.
As for talking down the pandemic, here, Vic, read what this clown said (a sampling):
Deal with reality.
it would be nice if magas would deal with reality, but i'm afraid we are years away from that happening
This is from October of 2020.
Dr Fauci and all the leftist "fact checkers" deny it now:
Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government's top infectious disease specialist, said he advised the president to "shut the country down" in the earlier stages of the pandemic. He said this was the most significant decision he has taken during the COVID-19 pandemic during a virtual Q&A session hosted by the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts on Tuesday.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, was responding to a question from one student regarding his most crucial decision of the pandemic.
"It was a decision to make a recommendation to the president," Fauci said. "It wasn't my decision that I could implement."
"When it became clear that we had community spread in the country, with a few cases of community spread—this was way before there was a major explosion like we saw in the northeastern corridor driven by New York City metropolitan area—I recommended to the president that we shut the country down.
"That was a very difficult decision because I knew it would have very serious economic consequences, which it did. But there was no way to stop the explosive spread that we knew would occur if we didn't do that."
Fauci Says He Told Trump to 'Shut the Country Down' - Newsweek
Then President Trump loosened restrictions in order to get a vaccine developed in 10 months. Something Dr Fauci said was impossible.
The media lied so that your POS Biden could win an election.
Accept FACTS!
Strange that you think this rebuts my point. I guess you did not even read what I posted.
My point was that Trump was trying to talk down the pandemic (to keep the stock market high) rather than take action. Hello?
Trump thought everyone would blame him for the pandemic. It was actually a great opportunity for him to show real leadership in a crisis, but I guess he didnt have it in him.
[deleted][✘]
No, the truth
I was working at the University of Maryland Hospital at the time and was sent home mid-March for 'two weeks' and that two weeks turned into a year or so . . . . . . .
Accept FACTS!
Yes, please!
And mine was that Trump followed the advice of the "experts" all the way through.
On Jan. 21 - the day the first COVID-19 case in the U.S. was confirmed - Fauci appeared on conservative Newsmax TV. "Bottom line, we don’t have to worry about this one, right?" asked Greg Kelly, the host.
Fauci said, "Obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kind of things the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the Department of Homeland Security is doing. But this is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about."
PolitiFact | Did Fauci tell U.S. 'not to worry about' coronavirus?
You are still trying to discredit Dr. Fauci??
Dr. Fauci and other experts did not advise Trump to say the following:
Still focused on things said rather than what was done?
It’s been said that the hardest words to utter in the English language are “I am sorry,” “I need help” and “I was wrong.”
Lately, you can add to that: “Trump was right.”
Two such admissions came from, of all places, the White House last month. First, President Joe Biden credited the former administration’s role in making vaccines available with the promised “warp speed.” It was a rare compliment offered by Biden to his predecessor, although others have said as much, including former Biden aide Andy Slavitt, who said last year, “I would absolutely tip my hat. … The Trump administration made sure that we got in record time a vaccine up and out.”
Later, Biden told governors on a conference call, “There is no federal solution (to COVID-19). This gets solved at the state level.” People on social media were quick to point out that this was basically Trump’s position. Trump told governors in April 2020 they would be “ calling their own shots ” on their respective states’ pandemic response.
Similarly, in 2020, Trump wanted schools to stay open , which is what Biden said Tuesday needs to happen despite some calls to temporarily return to virtual learning amid the omicron surge.
While largely critical of Trump, KFF (formerly Kaiser Family Foundation), a nonprofit that provides health policy news and analysis, credits Trump for the administration’s actions taken before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Trump established a White House COVID-19 task force on Jan. 27, 2020, and days later, declared a public health emergency and barred foreign nationals coming from China from entering the U.S. These actions, of course, stand in contrast to Trump’s cheery insistence that the virus would soon be history, but his attitude was consistent with what he later told Bob Woodward: that he’d deliberately downplayed the threat so Americans wouldn’t panic.
Few people would say that’s an effective strategy — or even an ethical one — in the face of a virus that has now killed more than 800,000 Americans. National Review editor Rich Lowry wrote that Trump’s strategy was a mistake, one that made him seem “out of touch with reality, an incredibly perilous position for a president.”
But now, looking at what COVID-19 has wrought under two presidents, Lowry is asking where’s the apology due Trump from people who blamed him for virus deaths in 2020. Lowry notes that during one of the presidential debates, Biden said, “Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”
In fact, as it turned out, more Americans died of COVID-19 in 2021 than 2020, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Johns Hopkins University. And while this was in part because of the emergence of more contagious variants, these deaths occurred under Biden’s watch with vaccines available and no shortage of personal protective equipment like the U.S. saw in 2020.
Did Trump or Biden handle the pandemic better? Here’s what we know | Opinion – Deseret News
No, Vic, focused on big picture vs. little picture and focused on what Trump did when he had a choice vs. what he was forced to do by the situation.
That was a great line.
I have to always give Jennifer Graham the credit for it.
I bet you think it was perfect.
"right now" are the operational words in that sentence.
A question that I recently thought of. With Harris and the willing media doing all it can to remove the negatives from her past and attempt to paint her as a moderate, will she lose votes from the hard-left progressives? Will she lose votes due to her comments on Israel? The honeymoon phase appears to be reaching it's end, what will November bring? Gonna be interesting to watch. I suggest a lot of your favorite beverage...
I'd be concerned about how far maga wants to reach into the past. it's not like trump is short of negative material.
democrats have a monopoly on friendly media? friendly media outlets that haven't settled for millions, with even more litigation pending? the honeymoon is over? so much so that a trump friendly immigrant billionaire feels the need to suspend fund raising on his social media site? it's starting to seem like only negative trump news will steal the spotlight from harris enthusiasm, temporarily. I think trump should keep dodging a debate date and keep making excuses until november. harris could take trump to the woodpile and his blindly partisan sycophants would still think he won, if he told them so. trump should go for it, he's got nothing to lose in their eyes...
How far is too far in the past? Wasn't it self-proclaimed liberals who started cancel culture by finding issues from 10+ years in the past to cancel speakers, comedians and other public figures? Is 4 years too far back to look? Because only 4 years ago Harris was on record as stating she was 100% against fracking, yet now that she's trying to win in an oil producing state that is a battleground state (Pennsylvania) that she's backed away from that statement? She fully supported Biden's electric car mandate yet now that Michigan is in play she's backing away from that as well. How well are her statements that ICE must be disbanded and states should stop hiring police due to over-policing going to play in boarder states?
So just how far back is still fair game?
... uh, like california and hawaii? I'll probably need a definition of that term...
So your only retort is a spelling error? What a lame reply. maybe next time actually answer the questions posed unless there are no talking points yet generated for the questions. Guess they cannot answer questions unless the answers are party approved talking points.
In an...
I'm sure she will, but as you well know politicians have a balancing act when it comes to campaigning. They almost always court the wings to win the primary and then flip-flop back to the center when it comes to the general. It always costs them some votes. It's just a matter of how many.
Specifically to Harris (and I said this when she primaried last time) she likes to act Progressive, but she's never really done anything particularly Progressive. The Progressives have constantly bashed her on her prosecutor work in CA as being too hard on offenders. Despite any comments she has, her official platform on Israel will be much the same as all Dems have had for the last half century.
She's still raising cash faster than people can log into the internet to give it to her and her numbers in places that count seem (it's too early to really tell for sure yet) to be trending up.
No doubts there. I have a lot of beer and (since I'm in WI) cheese popcorn...
Yep, looking back to Biden’s “moderate” act in 2020.
All moderates who fell for that bullshit should be really pissed.
Oh man.. I do miss those fresh cheese curds. Down here in Arizona we have something they call "cheese curds" but it's a very cheap imitation at best. They have all the taste of salty American cheese... damn. But then again, we do have an advantage down here as NOBODY has ever died of a heart attack from having to shovel the sunshine out of their driveway... LOL
When one is so far to the right all acts must look progressive?
I can send you some.
If you are talking about me, you have no idea what you are talking about. My “conservatism” could only be described as “far right” in this liberal echo chamber.
The problem with Harris is one doesn't have to look all that far back to see her progressive stance. Look at her talking points for the 2020 primaries before she dropped out, and all the support she has given as VP for the progressive plans around the Green New Deal, defund the police, abolish ICE, etc.
Now that she's running for president, she's getting all of that removed from her pedigree and attempting to appear as a more moderate person. As the electorate saw the same in 2020 for Biden who campaigned as a moderate but once getting into office has appeared to champion more far left issues, it remains to be seen how that will impact Harris this November.
I predict a BLUE WAVE
Good luck!
As I said she wanted to present herself as a Progressive in the 2020 Primaries. She was attacked by Progressives for her prosecutor's record. Her record in the Senate was thin, but her record as prosecutor in California was tough on crime. As the AG she chose to largely sit out of the debate. She was hammered by both sides in 2014 when Prop 47 was being debated in CA, but she wouldn't give an opinion. In 2016 when Jerry Brown wanted to release some offenders early, she again gave no opinion.
She didn't do much as Senator - gave a speech on the DREAM Act and worked to remove lynching from federal law. She was on the Intelligence, Judiciary and Homeland Security committees, but was criticized in 2020 for having really not having gotten any laws passed.
She is a Dem and politically savvy is about the best I can say for where she stands on any given point. I expect she will mostly toe the moderate Dem line, including green energy initiatives that don't really do a whole lot, but make progressives feel as if she's trying to do something.
I predict both the House and the Senate will flip and it will still be by very slim margins. It's simply way to early to tell where the Presidency is going.
okey dokey
Here's a blue wave for ya.... About what we can expect from this years politics.
There’s a reason a majority in the military tradition tend to support conservatives. [deleted][✘]
