You are so stupid it hurts my head.

In fact, everytime I see a fat, really stupid looking male over 50 screwing up the most basic things, (driving 60 in a 70 in the left lane, unable to comprehend the self checkout at the grocery, etc), I honestly wonder if it's you.
Funny. I picture you as the Shaman in the Capitol riot.

The facts are not sketchy. They’re clear as day. Yet you bury your head in the sand. That’s the point.

Meanwhile if Trump tells someone to peacefully protest you call it a call to violence.

You’re a hack.
Not true. He needs to answer to any discrepancies though. I expect that.
Unlike Trump's cult... I don't rubber stamp anything the Dems say.
I am waiting for more fact checking before issuing a condemnation.
 
That quote is a nothing burger. He very well could substitute the words "in a time of war" instead of in and explain it away. He carried those weapons while training and was deployed oversees as support during the war. He also saw himself as part of the services as a whole. That one doesn't bother me.
The quote where he says he watched a ceremony on a tarmac in Iraq/Afghanistan is the one I want answers to as a voter. He needs to explain that one.

Hey, I also carried guns during, well, basically all through Iraq and Afghanistan! (Not military, ccw)

Am I a war hero, too, Village Idiot?
 
Best thing about the Vance drag photo is many of the daily culture warriors here put anyone in drag on blast for the last few years, saying some pretty awful shit about them. Well, guess you're finally going to vote for someone who once wore women's clothing.

Anyway, here's another poll showing the national trends as of late:

LOL… and I’ll bet not one miserable idiot in that audience called her out on her answer and asked a simple follow up question: “Then why don’t you do it now?”

Not that this particular plan makes any damn sense, but good grief, she HAS to be drilled when she makes random promises that she could otherwise be trying to achieve this very moment, but has done nothing.

The guy still insisting that Trump won has zero business calling anyone else's IQ into question.
The press needs to do their job and get the truth about Walz. I have no problem with that. If he misrepresented his service he needs to say so.
 
RCP still has the Trump as the favorite. I mean, considering the kid glove treatment, refusal to speak w/o a teleprompter, not allowed to impugn her at all, that HAS to be deeply concerning for the Democrats. She SHOULD be up by a huge margin, but she just isn't. And the internals are barely moving. Working class, black males, independents, and Latino voters are just not flocking to her. It's honestly starting to look like her "bump" is just the result of an energized base (that would have voted for her anyway)
 
Sam, I'm not gonna enter this particular argument. It appears Harris campaign may have prevented much negative press surrounding the matter by partially correcting Walz status. Swift-boating still gonna happen. However, in my opinion, a much more serious matter arose.

Walz got arrest for a DUI in Nebraska in 1995.


Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) influence resulted in heavier scrutiny of moving violations involving military members beginning around 1982. Numerous careers, especially active duty service members, were impacted. DUI/DWI is a serious offense punishable under Uniform Code of Military Justice or UCMJ.

Anyway, Walz may have skated. Yeah, AR NG and AR Reserve different because localization and good old boys network. @warrior-cat and @HymanKaplan probably have their own thoughts on the matter. Still, Walz manipulated the system, IMO.
For me, Walz ran away from his duties when he should have deployed. I am speaking from the standpoint of my feelings towards the situation. My last month on Drill Instructor status at Ft. Sill was August of 1990. I came home to Kentucky that month for 30 days leave with a job lined up teaching artillery to Lieutenants at Snow Hall Ft. Sill upon my return. That was the month Iraq invaded Kuwait. Not long after the invasion, I called the commandant of the Drill Sergeant School (who got me the job at Snow Hall) and ask him to help me instead get in a unit that was going. About a week later he called me and told me I had a position with the 5/18th FA Ft. Sill and they wanted me there as asap. I got back within 2 days and reported in and by Oct 4th 1990 I was sitting in the Saudi Desert waiting for the Gulf War to begin.

Now, while I say he ran away from his duties, it is his choice. But it looks bad on him when he bails on the people he was supposed to be training and showing strong leadership to. He failed in the leadership capacity of his duties.

Instead of spending hours defending Walz to several posters who don't actually care...you could just keep reminding them that JD Vance once said Trump was "America's Hitler", "a moral disaster", "a total fraud", and "reprehensible." You don't come back from those words but it shows Vance doesn't give a shit and sees an opportunity to become president if Trump were to die. No one actually believes Vance likes Trump.

not at all. half of them just give her a pass on whatever she does and the other half aren’t even aware of nor care what she does, they just know they’re not voting for trump. i’m around a lot of trump haters, i truly believe this

She's expanding her lead in many of the swing states right now. Strange that Trump is holding rallies in Montana and calling their representatives Fat. Bashed Georgia's popular Governor too. Pretty stupid if you ask me.
Why is he not going to swing states? Is it because his crowds will be smaller than Kamala's and make him look bad?? Just kinda strange.
 
Does ANYONE actually like Trump? I thought that point had long been settled.

Fortunately, I think that the majority of voters in this country will vote like adults, and not children; which is to say, they'll vote on issues, and not if the mean man hurt "my feelings". That is the only possible reason to vote for Kamala, because there isn't any policy-based reason to.
 
Imagine the Republicans ignoring the mainstream media and the mainstream media going along with it.

That alone tells you how much trouble we are in as a country.
You already know this but if Word Salad defeats Trump and the Congress goes left across the board, the U.S.A is toast. Good luck young people.
 
Outside of Education and Psychology majors, I don't know ANY men that are voting for Kamala.

In fact, of people that I know personally, the only ones that support her are deeply dissatisfied single white women (like my sister), black women, and the two groups I mentioned previously. (and, on a Vinn diagram, you would find a sh*t ton of miserable white women, and black women in the Education and Psychology groups.)

There is also an "X" factor for many voters that I think you are overlooking.
It's not about policy and goes beyond personality and whether they "like" him or not.
For myself, and many other voters, he is perceived as morally reprehensible.
Someone that calls others fat pigs.... Sexually assaults women.... Steals from charities.... Cheats on his wife with porn stars....makes fun of disabled reporters..... Dines with white supremacists.... Convicted of a felony....
Attempts to subvert the Constitution....Incites riots against our Capitol.....Etc.
Is morally depraved. It's beyond policy. It's beyond liking or not liking.
The counter argument from you regarding morality may be "Abortion" but that is a policy....not a personal issue. It will also require consensus and votes from both parties.
Trump is just a God awful human being. I can never get beyond that.

Sorry for the laugh emoji. Can't help it when someone tries to spin that Harris is currently in trouble when she has lots of momentum. There is some bad in the good, no doubt...but of course here the bad for Trump rarely seems to ever get mentioned. Here, everything is butterfly kisses and puppy farts for the Don.

RCP currently has Harris 47.5, Trump 47.1 but I don't believe it's included today's swing state polling which was strong for Harris. So technically, Harris is the favorite. She also recently became a betting favorite. Silver updates daily and currently has Harris with a 54.8% chance to win, but says it's still very close. From here on out, we're not getting either candidate with a 70% chance to win but Harris is the current favorite, even if it's slightly.

I'd lay 100 bucks that you have the majority of your rants saved as Windows Notepad .txt files (no doubt cluttering up your desktop because it's easier than setting a default path or opening File Explorer) so you can easily cut and paste them.

Good post and appreciate your service.
 
So Trump campaign staffers telling Axios that he needs to be focused and stop campaigning haphazardly. LMAO. What's new? How is haphazardly any different than chaotically? MAGA, your guy is all-in on blowing it. However many states he's cheated out of, they'd be a lot harder to have done so if he knew or cared what the hell he was doing. It's a dam shame. Don't blame anyone but yourselves when this happens.
