    It might seem obvious but surviving assassination attempts doesn't just suddenly negate all the reasons why Trump shouldn't be president again. I hope swing voters aren't that naive.

    David Debated with him about his claim he was being sarcastic. It's not the moderators (mod in a presidential debate. I have to point that out in case someone takes offence) job to debate the people ffs.

    The mods allowed Harris to talk about project 2025 and national abortion bans despite Trump denying them both. No fact checks done though.

    The mods asked Harris how she would fix the border. She answered by inviting people to go to Trump rallies and see how people leave early. She never answered the question and the mods didn't go back yo her on it.

    She never answered questions in the debate but yhe mods didn't push her.

    When he tried to evade questions, they pressed him.

    David called trump out on the crime stats. Trunp pushed back and said the stats left out the major cities. David again pushed back and said they were the stats. But trump was right

    The debate was won by Harris 100%. But it was very soft on Harris. She lied repeatedly and wss not fact checked he was fact checked even when he was right. To the degree that moderators debated him. That's not supposed to happen .

    Yea Tulsi Gabbard when she was a democrat.

    Again the only point is that both sides have nut jobs. Do you think they don't? If you agree they do, then we are not in disagreement.

    He comes across as someone who is center just like most people. But he leans left again like most people.

    Standard playbook for standard times.

    It needs something more radical now- a massive peace march - millions of people across the nation walking for peace - (yes yes I know probably an impossibility) - but a happy clappy pop concert ain’t gonna have any impact

    So you really want to compare JD and Walz when it comes to lying for political gain?

    Watch JDs recent interview at the border. Watch his number of press conferences and interviews that he does. Compare them to the more joy speeches that Walz gives. In terms of substance there is only one real winner. Walz is the one who tries the disgusting attacks on Vance btw. He is the one promoting the weird couch lover stuff. Yet it's JD who is the bully. Walz is a liar and has been caught lying on a number of occasions.

    I assume you quoted me by mistake. I've no earthly clue how someone could claim he was screwed over in the debate.

    If you ignore all his other rubbish, and just focused on two things that he said in response to a question, and the questions were not leading questions either, he said abortions were happening up to the 9th month and after delivery and he said Immigrants were eating the cats and dogs.

    He made both of these statements with no hint of sarcasm or irony, he was stating them as fact. If they were the only untruths he told, then he deserves being ridiculed in the mainstream media because they are daft.

    He was interrupted by the hosts twice because they have a duty to the public that blatant lies not be said on their air, so they said that abortions do not happen after delivery, and that there are no credible reports of pet-eating in Ohio. If that constitutes collusion or even screwing him over then he needs to quit politics because he is not cut out for the big leagues.

    I think Harris' best chance is the young vote. If she can get out there and fill her rallies with youth, she can get them out to vote. If I were her I'd be showing up at every event that has young people. Get on love island or something 🤣

    ”Unwell” is how I’d see this guy too- son texted CNN saying it was completely out of character - I know we need to wait on a full investigation but I get the impression he was/is a loving father and he needs medical intervention more desperately than he needs a criminal intervention- I know he has to pay the price for his actions but unfortunately there’s probably even more dangerous people out there than him

    Absolutely happy to compare.

    Did Walz admit live on TV that he would continue to make up stories about Immigrants for political gain??

    Did Walz lie about a dead child and when confronted about those lies and shown a video of the childs father calling him out by name for those lies still refuse to apologize for the lie and just doubled down on his "The immigrants are ruining the country" hate speech?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,074 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    If I was part of management for any of these artists, I'd tell them stay the hell away from any such roadshow.

    Hastily arranged, in an extremely volatile political climate, and likely competing 'ownership' of security around such events. Particularly in Taylors case after having to cancel shows because of security concerns, I'd say categorically no to being involved in person.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,810 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    One side has the nut jobs as are their reps and candidates.

    Republican leaders whipping up racial hysteria with admitted lies... same on January 6th. Joking public ly about the Pelosi attack.

    Have you seen scumbag liar Vance admitting to lying to whip up racial hysteria? You seem to be feigning ignorance of this.

    The man is a coward. Doesnt even defend his own wife when she is subject to racism from Republicans. A pathetic stooge bought amd paid for by Thiel.

    One side wants nut jobs to have assault rifles.

    Another epic fail at both sides false equivalence.

    I get that a child loves their parents and wants to protect them and to see the good in them etc. , but this guy has a very long history of issues and arrests.

    He has a long history of calling for violent action to "solve" issues, so calling this incident "out of character" seems a more than a little "rose tinted" viewpoint.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,901 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    No one cared last time, except those weirdos who put bandages on their ears.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,092 ✭✭✭Christy42


    It is just pointing out that Trump's own policies are having negative effects for Americans including himself.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    The stuff about the dead child was correct. It was an illegal immigrant. The father's point was more that it doesn't matter who the person was but what they did. But from a political stance it does matter.

    ThThere is a huge issue in the states and globally regarding illegal immigration. Coincidentally a lot of it caused by America in the first place.

    Again, try watching him talk instead of reading biased headlines. When you watch you can 100% call him a dhead, but at least you cam see for yourself.

    Walz and Harris both said the blm violence was justified.

    The left and the left msm have continuously called Trump a threat to democracy. They have claimed that "we can't allow him to be elected". You dont think thats hysteria?

    They tried tonshut down free speech. The tried to stop Elons interview. They put pressure on facebook to suppress the hunter biden stuff. The pressured the NY times to suppress it and the clinton stuff.

    IIt is the dems who are making the immigration issue a racial issue. Illegal immigration can be a thing without being racist. You get that right?

    I mean you are yhe one claiming it is racial. What did he day that was racial? Or wss it just against illegal immigration?



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    No you are trying to use something as a dig but not really making any point what so ever.

    More assault rifles ended up on the streets under Obama than any other president.

    Obama militarised the police which is why he doesn't like Harris. They view things differently.

    But yea let's say its the republicans



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,197 ✭✭✭Oscar_Madison


    Fair enough - as I said needed to wait on full investigation - so looks like this is a standard guy gone AWOL from society



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    The left and the left msm have continuously called Trump a threat to democracy. They have claimed that "we can't allow him to be elected". You dont think thats hysteria?

    Considering what happened on January 6th, no, I dont consider it hysteria.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,092 ✭✭✭Christy42


    You can have a discussion about illegal immigration without being racist. If you start lying about them eating cats and dogs then hey you got racist territory right there. If Trump/Vance try and have a serious conversation about immigration then it can be spoken about like that. Nonsense lies about foreigners is absolutely racist.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,861 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    He wasn't murdered, it was an accident. Secondly he wasn't in the US illegally. So nope, you're once again getting the facts wrong. From a political perspective he was lying, exploiting a tragedy and targeting a specific community for his racist ends. It's unsurprising which posters buy into the racism though.

    There's a certain irony in the fact that you kept emphasizing your passion about being factually accurate. But you've actually come out with plenty of lies.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,847 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    Not in the slightest, however if he didn't sign that bill then maybe he wouldn't be the subject of two assassination attempts, not to mention all those who did die because of that bill he signed.

    Consequence of his actions



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,861 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    There's a specific reason that guns sold higher under Obama. Generally conspiracy theorists, the likes of Fox and gun manufacturers pushed conspiracy theories that he was gonna take all the guns.

    I've seen no proof that Obama dislikes Harris btw. Is this you making up **** again?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,186 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Aren't you the same poster who put the disgusting post saying Trump's team set this up

    Btw the shooter was clearly a Trump hater and big fan boy of Biden/Harris even making excuses for Hunter.

    Some people won't be happy until Trump is dead and you will still make it his fault.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Firstly he was murdered. Involuntary manslaughter is murder. If itvwas my child I would be saying murder. In fact the father also said " I wish it was a white guy who murdered my son" using the word murder. So yes it was murder. You don't get 13 years in prison for an accident.

    Secondly Vance actually didn't say illegal. He said Haitian immigrant which he was. He blamed Kamala for the open border policies.

    Also what lies have I said?

    Walz and Harris both said the blm violence was justified.

    Did they? What exactly did they say?

    Trump is a threat to democracy. He tried to overturn an election result and has called those who attempted to lynch the VP and other representatives as patriots. Has has continually claimed that the democratic system in the US is a fraud. What would you consider a threat to democracy if not someone who outright tries to overturn it?

    Shut down free speech? Do you remember when Trump got his buddies in the media to bury negative stories about him so that he could win the 2016 election?

    How did they try to stop Elons interview? Did they attempt to shut down Twitter? Facebook come under pressure all the time but only accepts it when it is clear the story is without any facts. Which the Hunter Biden laptop story is.

    Are the Dems making immigration a racial issue? SHithole countries, sending their worst, rapists and killers. Eating pets. Immigrants are to be feared.

    Trump is against Muslims, if believes there are certain things are 'black jobs'. He has a history of racism. From refusing blck people to rent in his buildings to running the ad trying to get the Park 5 put to death. He ran with the theory that Obama was not really American because of what? His ability to play basketball? The fact he was born in Hawaii? Or do you think it might have been the colour of his skin? He recently said that Harris only recently 'became black'. Good grief. What more evidence do you need that the man is a racist?



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,395 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    I have watched and yes , he is a horrible dickhead whose opinions are readily available to the highest bidder.

    The stuff about the child was not "correct", not even close.

    Vance said he was murdered , he wasn't, he was killed in a motor vehicle accident.

    The person involved was not an illegal immigrant , he is in the country 100% legally and properly.

    Vance saw a story about a Brown person involved in the death of a child and LIED about it to further his political views, not caring about how those lies and hate would impact the family of the boy.

    Even when the Childs parent begged him to stop lying and using his child for political gain , he refused.

    He went on and on about how "Immigrants are destroying Springfield" when the residents of Springfield say the opposite.

    He is a ghoul who will say whatever he thinks he needs to to further his hateful viewpoint.

    A terribly logical and factual post.

    Therefore,

    regrettably it won't be replied to in good faith.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    You think I am making stuff up about Obama not liking Harris? Wow lad. That's pretty common knowledge that Obama wasnt backing Harris.

    As for the gun reasons. Why are gun sales not up right now then as people think Harris will take them?

    Facts are facts. More guns went on the streets under Obama than Trump or any other president.

    But then again lies and all that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,290 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Vance is on TV saying he will make stuff up to get attention.

    Zero credibility.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Wait, you think he didn't have to sign the bill? You believe that dont you.

    Did he want to sign it? Probably. Very very likely.

    Did he have a choice? No. Not in the slightest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 863 ✭✭✭scottser


    I genuinely would love to see Trump dead, by whatever means. His life brings no joy, no positivity, nothing of any worth to anybody. He sows hatred for profit, and there is a special place in hell for people like him.

    Legally, no it is not classified as murder. You also misquoted the father "“I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man. I bet you never thought anyone would say something so blunt, but if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone,” he then went onto say “I will listen to them one more time to hear their apologies. To clear the air, my son, Aiden Clark, was not murdered. He was accidentally killed by an immigrant from Haiti. This tragedy has been all over this community, the state and even the nation. But don’t spin this towards hate,”.

    So I've actually caught you out on multiple lies including claiming father saying his son was murdered. It's incredibly dishonest and manipulative to take advantage of a tragedy like that. You're also the person claimed the man was an illegal immigrant. So lots and lots of dishonesty.

    The offence here would probably be "Dangerous Driving causing death" and under US law it goes under involuntary manslaughter.

    A terrible thing and the guy was rightly jailed , but the vile attempts to make it about Immigration are just that - Vile.

    It's using someone elses tragedy to further a hateful political rhetoric.

    The vileness is further compounded by the refusal to stop doing it when asked by the family.

    If they actually cared about the community and the people they wouldn't be doing what they are doing.

    They need hatred and division to be "successful" so they will stop at nothing to keep the hate alive.

    When you are president you can sign bills or you can veto them. That is why people elect the person they think will have the best judgement for matters like this. If he genuinely did not have a choice, then he and whoever is pushing his buttons is a threat to democracy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,414 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    "You think I am making stuff up about Obama not liking Harris? Wow lad. That's pretty common knowledge that Obama wasnt backing Harris."

    You mean the Obama who backed Harris? Is he the Obama who wasn't backing Harris? The Obama who posted a video along with Harris' campaign showing him backing Harris a few days after she became the presumptive nominee? The Obama who spoke at length at the Democratic Convention about how he was backing Harris? That Obama?

    The only people who were claiming Obama wasn't going to back Harris were those trying to jump on that because Obama didn't immediately publicly back Harris. However Obama knows better than to back one candidate when others could still have announced their intention to run for the nomination which would be voted for at the DNC. When it became clear that nobody was going to be able to beat Harris, he backed her. That doesn't mean he doesn't like her, it just means the backing of a former President is important, and Obama was likely waiting to ensure he didn't back someone who then wasn't the Democratic candidate.

    Speaking of former Presidents; Obama is backing Harris. Biden is backing Harris. Clinton is backing Harris. Jimmy Carter is backing Harris. And yet George W. Bush isn't backing Trump.

    Wait, what? I thought Harris was the puppet.

    But now Trump is simply the puppet being forced to sign bills? By whom exactly? And for what purpose? And why didn't Trump, the greatest negotiator ever, push back and stand his ground? We know Trump is very transactional, so what did Trump get in return for agreeing to this?

    This is quite the hornet's nest you've kicked. Why would anyone vote for a POTUS that is so weak?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,810 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    This is deluded nonsense you are arguing against a strawman. Proof you are incapable of debating the points put to you.

    You think people dont notice how you feign ignorance of January 6th and Trump inciting political violence? When he has publicly admited it was lies and he knew he lost.

    So yes it is proven that Trump is a threat to democracy. He tried to subvert last election result and we see in Project 2025 what he will do if elected. Project 2025 from his political associate.

    In the current campaign Vance has said he will make up stories about immigration to get in into media.

    Included in that is the racist drivel about pets. Which has led to racisp hysteria and bomb threats.

    So yes it is racial and dont pretend otherwise.

    You know it isnt white people in their sights. It is racist dog whistling.

    You get that right?

    When Trumps media accounts post memes about immigrants they are always people of colour. It is racism plsin and simple.

    Just like the racist drivel from Trump about Harris and her mixed heritage.

    Why you going to bat for a lying racist dog whistler?

    Also Vancd is bought and paid for by Thiel. And Trump is in "Elons" pocket too.

    Yes, you are making it up along with the numerous other things you've made up. Including modifying a quote of a man who's child died but sure it's politics. Since Obama has endorsed her and you've produced no proof, this is just another thing that you've made up.

    I work in the live events area. It's amazing what people can pull off when there's little time.

    A road show of 6 cities over the last 2 weeks of October would absolutely be possible, but you'd need to start putting it together this week.
