POLITICAL THREAD

[ukcatz12]

The elements of the coin toss didn't grant someone extra time.

Sorry that you and Orban backed Trump.

Disappointed Harris didn't hammer Trump for brining up how much he loves Orban. Orban is a dictator. He turned Hungary into the first non democracy in the EU. Having Orban endorse Trump is absolutely not a win for Trump, despite him thinking it is.

Trump cozies up to Putin, he literally salutes Kim Jong Un, and he loves Orban. These are not the allies the President of the United States should be having.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Kamala said she was never opposed to fracking.

Fact Check: False

 

[ukcatz12]

I can almost guarantee you, that at some point, an illegal immigrant in this country, has eaten a domestic animal.

Fact Check : True

Surely you know that's not how fact checks work. What happened to "facts don't care about your feelings"?

 

[HymanKaplan]

Kamala said Trump was wrong, that late term abortions/unlimited abortions are legal in some places.

Minnesota has no restrictions on abortions, including any limit on how late they can be performed.

Fact Check: False

 

[HymanKaplan]

Surely you know that's not how fact checks work. What happened to "facts don't care about your feelings"?

If you have a problem with my fact checking, then prove me wrong.

 

[UK_Dallas]

Every post on here stating Trump shoulda/coulda done this or that is admission he didn't do very well.

He didn't do very well. Lost the debate.

But we learned nothing new about her so she did nothing to help herself.

This isn't true. We learned that she owns guns.

We learned that she's for America, for the people who are struggling or the vulnerable. She wants peace.

haha Lindsey Graham wants Trump to win as much as Mitch McConnell does. They would rather be in the minority and make strong statements they don't intend to back up and play pretend rather than for Trump and an American First mind set ever truly win big in Washington.

Only you believe focusing on this is a smart play going forward. Hell, we want Trump and Vance wasting time talking about pets being eaten like we're living in the movie Alligator.

This will be known as the "pets being eaten" debate and you can't spin that as a positive for Trump.

 

[NociHTTP]

They’re claiming they want another debate. That doesn’t suggest they thot they won. You KNOW it won’t be on Fox if there is one.

Since Trump took the bait so often maybe they think they can do it again. Maybe someone can get through to him. Actually a number of us on here could debate better.

Here’s a sample.

Yes David there is something I’d do different about Jan 6. I would have addressed the public from the Oval Office on Jan 5th letting them know I’d recommended to Speaker Pelosi that I’d provide 10000 national guardsmen to ensure there’s be no issues the next day … and she refused. That’s what I’d do differently.

The issue regarding that question wasn't that he couldn't debate, not at all. The issue was that he had NO REGRETS about that day. He was asked at least two times if he had any regrets, and he chose to not answer. He clearly has no regrets, and THAT'S a big problem.

You misread the room. I'm pointing out the ABSURDITY of concentrating on that, and not why there are thousands and thousands of illegal Haitian immigrants flooding Springfield. You don't GET that? LOL

Trump hammered her on immigration and the left's defense for her immigration policy is that, in FACT, household pets are NOT actually being consumed. Really? 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄

 

[NociHTTP]

She tells dozens of lies and this how they respond of course.

Funny thing is the guy on the right was CNN's chief 'fact-checker' during the Trump presidency. When Biden became president they got away from him for years and he basically quit twitter and his daily fact checks of the president (they don't even pretend to employ fact-checkers when a Democrat is president).

Brought his b-tch ass and his lying routine back for the this campaign. He looks like he would be president of his local 'white dudes for Harris' club.

She doesn't tell dozens of lies. Keep at it.

Pets Are Not Food in U.S., SPCA Will Advise Immigrants

Trump didn't "hammer her on immigration". He kept going back to it, but he had nothing to say for his killing a bill that she approved regards adding more funding for protecting the border. Mr emotiCONMAN.

Flipped it over to ABC news post-debate for one minute. They made a huge deal about how she sought him out for a handshake. That was there first big takeaway. One of them saying and 'you know she had a plan if he refused to shake her hand.' Desperate to make her look strong.

The Biden team was big on no handshake last time. Most of the rules were the same, guarantee you it was the same this time.

Vance came on after Walz for his views on the debate. Vance was asked three times about a national abortion ban even as he tried to turn to grocery prices, housing, and border. He even said at one point 'why are we talking about something that has zero chance of getting passed?' Jon Karl was squirming in his seat continually trying to interrupt Vance.

ABC continued after the debate what they did during. Vance was really good in the interview. Vance gets a point he wants to make and he really hammers it and hammers it.

IMO, Jon Karl is the biggest turd in the punchbowl.

 

[ukcatz12]

If you have a problem with my fact checking, then prove me wrong.

And surely you know that’s also not how it works.

You can’t say “X is most definitely true,” be shown it’s actually not definitely true, and then say “well I can almost guarantee it happened somewhere at some point” and call what you said a fact.

If I told you the lake monster Champ was eating dogs off the beach of Lake Champlain, and you told me there was no proof, and I then told you I can almost guarantee it happened at some point you’d look at me like I were crazy.

Just take the L on this one. I really don’t know why you all can’t even admit one time you weren’t correct about something.

The internet is creating Simpsons memes with the dog Christmas looking scared in Springfield now. This is not the win for Trump that you think it is. He and Vance are being mocked bc instead of just talking about the issue of immigration, they had to go full SNL and repeat some bizarre conspiracy about Champ and Lucy the cat being eaten.

I read this, and Rick Moranis' voice from Ghostbusters popped into my head. I'll bet you purchase generic tylenol in bulk because of the savings. 😄 😄 😄

 

[BlueManToo]

Thanks….the article is from “back in the day”, but the quibble was over “if” it had happened and not “when” it happened 😉

 

[HymanKaplan]

Trump didn't "hammer her on immigration". He kept going back to it, but he had nothing to say for his killing a bill that she approved regards adding more funding for protecting the border. Mr emotiCONMAN.

We don't NEED a bill to close the border. And he specifically SAID that.

And I use a lot of emoticons, because a few people on here have no sense of humor or an ability to tell when I'm doing satire or being sarcastic, so I thought visual aids would help. (seems to be getting mixed results...)

But, as I said, we don't need a bill to close the border. But she (and you, it would seem) are too half-witted to know that. 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄

It’s funny you say this, because there’s kind of a very stupid running joke in my family where I tell them surely Warren Buffett became a billionaire in part because of all the money he saved buying in bulk. My sister was in finance for a while and met one of the people who worked for him, although I don’t remember in what capacity, and asked if Buffett buys in bulk. In fact he does.

As funny as that is, and it's PRETTY damn funny, it isn't going to win an election. But yeah, that IS pretty hilarious. LOL

And, if it DOES win her the election, as bad as that would be for the country, it would STILL be hilarious.

 

[BlueManToo]

The particular objection you made was about Kaplan’s claim, not Trump’s claim….

Surely you know that's not how fact checks work. What happened to "facts don't care about your feelings"?

So, again, here’s proof of Kaplan’s specific claim to which you objected….for the 3rd time…

Uh Oh, Jim Cantori (TWC) is in Morgan City LA...sorry folks, but you people are toast when this HURRICANE blows in because disaster Jim is in town...

OR
He'll be in a ditch with water up to his chest and an opened hydrant blowing water in his face for effect, while people walk by laughing

 

[Girthang]

He didn't do very well. Lost the debate.

But we learned nothing new about her so she did nothing to help herself.

Most knew it was going to look like he lost the debate. It's ABC and she has no platform except to lie and steal. Did he lose his voters? No. Did she gain anything? No. Do people know any more about her besides that she is a complete liar about her past and present positions? No.

It's not a debate unless you are talking issues. When you have to constantly wade through and counter lies and character assassination, it's just bad theater.

Look - let's just apply leftist logic and be done with this.

If a person in Springfield, Ohio believes their cat has been taken by Haitians and eaten then that is the truth. Truth trumps facts.

 

[55wildcat]

 

[HymanKaplan]

If it WAS actually true, then the REAL leftist spin would be:

Kamala solves feral animal problem in Springfield, OH

We have what's left of a wall that would've closed the border if the ViceHooker and her Big Guy didn't dismantle and sell it off for pennies on the dollar with the money going who knows where. Don't need more spending on it. We need the fed govt to quit preventing border patrol, ice, and local police from doing what their mandate has been.

The leftrolls here know that. They just want to waste your time thinking they might have a shred of reason or decency. They don't.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

 

[HymanKaplan]

I'm not so sure. They think we need duplicate immigration laws to enforce "remain in Mexico". So...

And the border bill she was talking about would have essentially just created more bell hops to help with the illegals luggage while they got rubber stamped and put on a bus, along with a "wink" as they were given their hearing date, and told not to miss it. LOL

Exactly. Playing both sides against the independents in the middle to destroy our sovereignty and out people that still want to to preserve their rights.

 

[HymanKaplan]

She doesn't tell dozens of lies. Keep at it.

Okay, she tells "scores" of lies?

A "gross" of lies?

A metric ton of lies (given that the weight of 1 lie = 2.2 pounds or 1 kilogram)

500 troy ounces of lies (given that each lie = 31.1 grams)


Should I keep on going? Or is that sufficiently pedantic for you?

Well he’s probably bought into the “Trumps gonna be a dictator” narrative too, so you have to take their delusions with a grain of salt.
