What's going on with Trump? He's been canceling a lot of his appearances.

What does ukraine have to do with what hurricane victims receive?
If you are pointing out how much better than Trump, the Biden admin has been with hurricane response, you are wording it strange.

Yes, there were multi billion dollar damaging hurricanes under Trump, and yes, his response was not nearly as strong as Biden team response.

30 minutes into a Town Hall, and after a couple of medical emergencies among the attendees(?), TFG abruptly stopped taking questions and just danced to music for 39 minutes. Weird.

This new ad using Trump's own words about Detroit against him is a banger. https://www.threads.net/@keithedward...4C0JBfdEeizPnQ

Hey Griffey, can you explain what a "Biden Circle" is?

This clown should be looking at memory care facilities, not the WH

Kamala Harris had to call into the Weather Channel to address misinformation and reassure Floridians that the federal government is working on their behalf as Hurricane Milton approaches. All because idiot Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is politicizing the hurricane by not taking calls from Biden and Harris and then claiming that the White House isn't offering enough help..

During her 10-minute appearance, Harris addressed DeSantis' accusation that the vice president is politicizing the storm. Harris started off by saying "this is not a time for us to point fingers at each other as Americans, it's really not."

"Anybody who considers themselves to be a leader should really be in the business right now of giving people a sense of confidence that we're all working together and that we have the resources and the ability to work together on their behalf, on behalf of the people of our country," Harris said. "That's what I'm focused on."

She added that she welcomes anyone to work with her on behalf of Americans.

"I don't care who you voted for in the last election or who you're voting for in the next election," Harris said.

The Democratic presidential nominee addressed those who are recovering from Hurricane Helene and advised them not to "listen to anything or anybody that's trying to make you more afraid than you already are because of what has happened," before reassuring them that "there are federal resources you are entitled to receive without condition."

Harris also warned companies considering price gouging -- which airlines, gas stations, and hotels have been accused of -- that the federal government is watching and monitoring them, and there will be consequences.

Yeah, he is no Sarah Palin. He is a smart guy and a polished speaker--he is a Yale trained lawyer, after all. He also blatantly lies a lot (maybe that is already implied with him being a Yale trained lawyer), which is depressing, because it must mean that he believes most American voters won't know enough to know he is doing it. He may be right.

HIs positions and dishonesty aside, it continues to dumbfound me that with coherent options like Vance in the party, so many on the right continue to support Trump, who is so obviously dumber and so obviously focused on himself rather than on the American people and their issues. I long for a time when our country can go back to "normal" political discourse more akin to the VP debate and away from the circus that Trump has turned our national politics into. Trump's political success is such an embarrassment to our country. The fact that millions continue to support him is so incomprehensible to me, contemplating it is like staring into the abyss for me--I start to spiral into madness and have to pull myself out.

Anyone with half a brain can watch that dope speak and instantly know he literally has no idea what he's talking about and did not even spend one second preparing. That's what I don't get, and that's why it's a cult of stupidity.

I misjudged this guy. I may not agree with him but he can at least put his thoughts into words. Actual debates without TFG are so refreshing.

Maybe it is the impending train wreck, but I really want to see what paste-eating JD Vance is gonna do tonight. This guy makes Sarah Palin look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Without even opening that link I can tell the video is nothing but clickbait. Are you really this gullible? Have you never seen clickbait before? "What he said is INSANE" --- have you never seen that tag line before? Have you ever used the internet before or is this your first time? I'm honestly concerned about your ability to function if you think that's anything but clickbait. How do you have any money left in your bank when the prince of Nigeria is so excited about taking it from you?

Hasn't this been the calling card of Republicans in the TFG era? Just find some sh!t on the internet, fall for it, and post it for everyone to see without even bothering to see if it's real or not. Heck, the two morons running on the GOP ticket literally are telling millions "they're eating the dogs" and people like this clown believe it.
