The 2024 Elections in the US, mostly Harris vs. Trump

[mookiemcgee]

The tampon rules came up in debate on the bill to provide sanitary supplies in all schools. The Republican members added a rider to specific exclude boys restrooms. They didn't want boys learning about that stuff.

That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Literally the dumbest.

I think we triggered Saxi... Saxi is worried about what boys might learn from having access to tampons? I guess Saxi doesn't have sisters.

I've been courteous enough to be very honest about my opinions on Trump, despite the fact I support him.

It's dumb that you and the Hallelujah Chorus feel that, even here, you have to continue screaming the party cleanup line ("The tampons were so boys could do independent learning about menstruation and make GI Joe accessories with them!") Either you actually believe that - which makes you dumb - or you think Duk is dumb enough to, which is just rude.

Just say up is up and black is black. The tampons were there because Walz believes in a pseudoscientific perspective that thinks 12 year old girls can will themselves into becoming boys and if they have to go into the girls bathroom to get a tampon it will disprove it, which is somehow fascist; the same perspective that thinks girls who don't want 17 year old men showering with them in the locker room are literal Nazis, and that parental rights extend to having their 11 year old child's genitals carved off and thrown in a biowaste bin.

This is an honest area and no is going to accuse you of being a pedo simply for supporting a candidate who has legalized a particular child sexual fetish some adults have. You might agree or disagree with Walz on this and believe, in the balance, he's the better candidate. I've been honest about things I intensely disagree with Trump in (i.e. his support of Israeli genocide). So just be honest.

I do appreciate you candor on your opinion of Trump.

I personally don't conflate making free paper products available in both bathroom in case some gender confused kids need access, with the chopping off of 11 yo genitals. I do understand why people have a slippery slope mentality about this stuff, but sometimes providing free paper products is just providing free paper products.

If Walz for instance wrote a foreword in a 920 page instruction manual on how to change gov't from the inside out to take away cis peoples rights and slowly force everyone to live a trans lifestyle and sexually experiment with both genders while under gov't supervision and to change the constitution so that any pregnant woman can have in utero sex change operations, or abort their baby up to 8 years old I would 100% vote against the guy and say he's a liberal extremist and shouldn't be on the ticket... but really he just made paper products available free to anyone who may want them, which apparently was a popular enough idea in MN that the bill got through their state congress for him to sign. Personally, I'm fine with that.

I see saxi mention Male General Mutilation (aka 'circumcision') in his posts in this thread. That would explain the strength of his reaction, given he is a survivor.

Please no one mention foreskins for at least three more pages to avoid triggering him again.

To get back on TOPIC:

Kamala wants it BOTH ways, she wants credit for all these initiatives and actions she ALLEGEDLY took, but was NOT THE "Border Czar." Which is it, was she indeed active on the border issues or NOT?

I have heard and read that Kamala is very lazy and does not do the work. She did not even VET her VP pick and that was done by others, such as Eric Holder. Kamala has had HUGE turnover of staff, about 87-90% of her VP staff in some 3 1/2 years. She is apparently not a good manager or good leader. As I said before, she is simply a DEI hire and did NOT EARN this nomination. Kamala happened to get the VP job because "Biden needed and promised a black woman as Vice President." When Biden was pushed aside, she was GIVEN the nomination of the the Democrat Party without her having EARNED one delegate on her own. Kamala is an example par excellence of a DEI Affirmative Action Hire, someone who did not EARN it and would not have gotten this position, EXCEPT based on gender and skin color. SAD.

Fact-checking Kamala Harris’ border claims in new ad
Story by Jorge Ventura

(NewsNation) — A new campaign ad touting Vice President Kamala Harris‘ border security credentials has potentially misleading claims about her record.

The ad, which aims to bolster Harris’ image on immigration issues, depicts her as a tough prosecutor who took on drug cartels and cross-border smuggling.

However, our NewsNation fact-check reveals several exaggerations and mischaracterizations.

While the ad portrays Harris as a “border state prosecutor,” her role as California’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2017 primarily involved state-level criminal justice matters. The ad’s implication that she was directly involved in border cartel cases appears to stretch the truth.

Claims about Harris jailing gang members for cross-border smuggling also seem inflated. While she did prosecute gang members, these cases mostly involved local drug offenses rather than international smuggling operations.

The ad touts Harris’ support for “the toughest border control bill in decades.”

While she backed a bipartisan bill to increase border security funding, it was rejected by most Senate Republicans.

The hiring of additional border agents, mentioned in the ad, is part of the broader Biden administration strategy rather than a specific Harris initiative.

Authorities warn of cartel drone incursions along southern border
Harris’ efforts against fentanyl trafficking and human smuggling, highlighted in the ad, are part of a larger government strategy involving multiple agencies, not solely driven by the Vice President.

The commercial’s portrayal of Harris as a central figure in border security management is misleading.

Misleading and incorrect statements as well as outright LIES: SOUNDS like what many here post.

Kamala the Chameleon, continues to avoid questions from the Press. What is she hiding??????

Washington Post pushes Harris to answer 'legitimate questions' about her flip-flops, agenda

The left-leaning Washington Post editorial board argued that Vice President Harris, who has quickly succeeded President Biden as her party's nominee, needs to engage more openly with voters and with the media.

"If she hopes to prevail, Ms. Harris needs to present her ideas," The Post wrote in an editorial published on Sunday. "The media and public have legitimate questions, and she should face them. This is a political necessity — Mr. Trump is already turning her avoidance of the media into an attack line. And elections aren’t just about winning. They’re about accumulating political capital for a particular agenda, which Ms. Harris can’t do unless she articulates one."

Harris is facing increasing pressure to answer questions from the media after largely dodging questions and interview requests, save for brief gaggles with her traveling press corps.
Prior to Thursday, Harris went 18 days without taking press questions and continues to dodge formal media engagements. She even declined an interview opportunity with TIME, which published a gushing piece about her "reintroduction" on Monday.

‘Is That A Trick Question’: Kamala Harris Rally-Goers Struggle To Explain Her Policies

“What can be unburdened by what has been?” Carter asked one man, referencing a phrase frequently uttered by the vice president.

“Is that a trick question?” he responded.

Supreme Court declines to lift blocks on Biden administration’s education anti-discrimination rule
In a 5-4 ruling, the justices kept in place lower court rulings preventing the Title IX rule from being implemented.

The ruling is a major blow to the administration’s efforts to strengthen protections for transgender students as the school year begins.

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected the Biden administration’s plea to partially lift two injunctions barring the Education Department from enforcing most of its Title IX rule.

The regulation, which took effect earlier this month, interprets the federal education law that bars sex-based discrimination to include protections based on gender identity, sexual orientation and pregnancy status. It also overhauls much of the Trump-era policy that mandates how schools must respond to sexual misconduct.

More about Kamala's wonderful economic plan/proposal:

Vice President Kamala Harris, this week’s presidential front-runner, is doing her part to stop “price gouging” and “greedflation” in the grocery store.

By … er … dishing out some free baloney.

That would be the claim that a conspiracy of Big Food companies is artificially driving up the prices of groceries, taking advantage of consumers to boost their bottom line.

My question is: If this claim is true, why aren’t these companies doing better? Most of their stock performances stink. Their profit margins stink. Their net income stinks. Some conspiracy.

Shareholders in Tyson Foods — aka Big Chicken — have earned 3% total since the start of the COVID-19 crisis in March 2020. That’s including dividends.

Three percent. In four years. Booyah!

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/baloney-in-aisle-seven-as-kamala-harris-takes-on-big-grocery/ar-AA1oWj3S?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=1bd61b8f365a4914b866d209f4bc64a9&ei=8

And most grocery stores make only 1-2% profit. So where is the ALLEGED Gouging by companies? Or will we blame the CONSUMER for inflation, as the Biden-Harris Administration did early during this latest round of INFLATION 2021-2024? SILLY Liberal Democrats do not understand Economics. They only know how to SPEND federal money (most of which is borrowed) and does not come from actual taxes or fees or tariffs.

and:

The Issue: The Dem nominee’s ever-changing positions on inflation and other economic issues.

Vice President Kamala Harris can try to disavow all of President Biden’s economic policies, which have wreaked havoc on this country for four years.

But the inescapable fact remains that it was it was the Biden-Harris administration that created those policies.

Are we to believe that when Harris becomes president she will suddenly become a fiscally responsible centrist?

Nope.

She owns the Biden policies, every one of which she endorsed.

And I am not the only one who thinks Kamala's economic ideas are INADEQUATE and will be and are INEFFECTIVE. Let's see what the editorial board of that Liberal Democrat bastion Washington Post said:

‘Squandered The Moment’: Washington Post Editorial Board Blasts Kamala Harris’s Economic Rollout As ‘Disappointment’

The editorial board of The Washington Post criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic policy rollout as a “disappointment” Friday.

Harris delivered a speech Friday seeking to address the economic concerns of American voters, but her approach drew criticism for lacking substantive plans and relying on populist rhetoric, according to The Washington Post. The editorial board stated, amid continuing frustration over high costs of living, Harris chose to focus on corporate malpractices like price-gouging rather than provide a detailed economic strategy. The editorial board also claimed Harris “squandered the moment on populist gimmicks.”

During her speech, the vice president highlighted the Biden-Harris administration’s role in addressing inflation, which remains high compared to that under the Trump administration. The editorial board, however, pointed out that, instead of offering a nuanced explanation of inflation dynamics like supply chain issues and Federal Reserve policies, Harris attributed price hikes to corporate greed. She also proposed a federal crackdown on price-gouging without clear definitions or strategies.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/squandered-the-moment-washington-post-editorial-board-blasts-kamala-harris-s-economic-rollout-as-disappointment/ar-AA1oYXVO?ocid=winp2fptaskbar&cvid=91a3c183ebc441e691b710daa87adb24&ei=10

As I already said, Kamala (like many of her Liberal Democrat colleagues) simply does not understand basic Economics. SAD. They only know how to spend Federal DEFICIT Money, like Biden.

And I thought Trump was the one appealing to populists. OHHHH, Kamala again COPIES Trump, like NOT Taxing Tips. SOoooo Original there, Kamala. Well Done, as USUAL.......................NOT.

AND there is more SILLINESS from Kamala (same source):

Her plan also includes, however, a $25,000 down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers which could inadvertently inflate prices by increasing demand without corresponding supply adjustments, according to the outlet.

BUT WAIT:

Besides Kamala's lack of knowlege of Economics, she is even more INEPT on Foreign Policy

Kamala has demonstrated no indication of having a workable U.S. foreign policy agenda. If the Afghanistan withdrawal and her border outcomes is her standard, then Lord, bless her little heart. Shit, Afghanistan has taken a turn for the worse. If leaving $7 billion worth of weapons and equipment in Afghanistan was not enough proof of the Biden-Harris Administration ineptitude, then their State Department leadership, failing to comply with its own counterterrorism vetting requirements by giving the Taliban $239 million in development assistance is just icing on the cake.

Good news!

Americans are uniting across political divisions! It's now the great tapestry of Americans from all walks of life and all political perspectives versus the smoke-filled backrooms of the corporate megadonors of the DNC.

The Kennedy-Shanahan campaign have announced they are committed to protecting democracy and freedom above all else and will do what is necessary to protect America from Harris. Now is the time we must all put aside our differences to protect American democracy from Harris. The son of Robert F. Kennedy is ready to get on-board.

“We are taking a very serious look at making sure that the people that have corrupted our fair and free democracy do not end up in office in November,” she said.

“There’s two options that we’re looking at and one is staying in: forming [a new political party], but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Harris running mate Tim] Walz presidency, because we draw votes from Trump.

“Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and we explain to our base why we are making this decision.”

ABC News is confirming their sources report RFK, Jr. will announce his withdrawal from the race on Friday, endorse Trump-Vance, and send a direct message to his supporters appealing for them to put their concerns aside and vote for Trump to prevent the possible end of American liberty and democracy under a Harris-Walz regime.

Reclusive Kennedy backer Tim Mellon, yesterday, terminated his donations to Kennedy groups and wrote a $50 million check to MAGA, Inc., apparently cued-in to the move.

Kamala Harris Not Leading a Single Battleground State in New Poll

Vice President Kamala Harris is not leading in a single battleground state, according to a new poll.

The survey, conducted by Navigator Research between July 31 and August 8, showed the Democratic presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump are tied in Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin, while Harris is behind in Arizona and Pennsylvania.

In the 2020 Presidential Election, Joe Biden carried Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while Donald Trump defeated Biden in North Carolina.

However, the states are now neck and neck, according to Navigator Research.

In Michigan, the two candidates are tied on 44 percent each when third party candidates are included, while in Wisconsin they are tied on 45 percent and in North Carolina they are tied on 46 percent.
But in Arizona and Pennsylvania, Harris is performing marginally worse than Trump, who is 1 point ahead of her in Arizona on 46 percent and 2 points ahead of her in Pennsylvania, also on 46 percent.

Overall, the race is tied at 45 percent across the battleground states when third party candidates are included, with 7 percent voting for a third-party candidate and 3 percent undecided, according to the poll which surveyed 600 likely voters in each battleground state and had a margin of error of +/- 4.0 percentage points.

Who continues to LIE in this election campaign? Politicians, BOTH Democrats and Republicans

Journalists are fact-checking the Democratic National Convention. Here’s what they’ve found

The FactCheck.org report also noted, “Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez said Trump is ‘threatening to slash Medicare,’ while Biden claimed that Trump wants to cut Medicare and Social Security. But Trump has consistently said he will not cut either program.”

The report challenged Biden’s claim that his administration was responsible for a decline in the murder rate, saying, “Experts say presidents have little to do with the changes in murder or violent crime while they are in office,” and said that the president’s “boasts” about lowering inflation were misleading: “Growth in inflation has been steadily declining from its peak of 9.1% for the 12 months ending in June 2022, but overall, it is still up 19.4% since the start of Biden’s presidency.”

And the fact-checkers also provided important context for Trump’s infamous “bloodbath” comment — he was talking figuratively about economic consequences if Biden were to have been reelected — and his joke about being a “dictator” in a second administration, acknowledging that Trump had said he wouldn’t be a dictator — “except for Day 1″ when he pledged to close the southern border and expand oil drilling.

(...)

But then PolitiFact rated as “half true” Barack Obama’s claim that the Biden administration has produced “15 million jobs, higher wages, lower health care costs,” noting that some of those jobs were restored as the pandemic subsided, and that over the course of the administration, wages have lagged behind inflation, though they have outpaced inflation in the past two years.

(...)

The fact-checkers awarded a “mostly false” rating to [Sen. Bernie] Sanders’ claim that “unemployment was soaring” when Biden took office, noting, “In April 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the unemployment rate surged to 14.8% as millions of Americans lost their jobs. But by the time Biden took office in January 2021, the rate had fallen to 6.4%, and it continued to fall that year.”
