Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

Not too bad you think? You must have missed the bit where Trump said that the Democrats support abortions after birth, and are in favour of executing new-born babies.

I’m loving the Taylor Swift endorsement of Harris for president - I don’t think Harris can win this on her own (but she’s certainly doing a great job of trying)- but to get an endorsement from a mega icon of young female and LGBTQ music fans- that can’t be a bad thing. Get out there and vote young people - you’ve only yourselves to blame if you don’t

That's what you defense of Trump has degraded down to. Good work.

Trump also completely avoided the question as to why if he's so concerned about the border, did he kill the conservative border bill negotiated by Democrats and Conservative Republican James Lankford?

He didn't answer at all. Because Trump doesn't have policy. Just grievance. And he needs the border to be broken.

Even Trump himself admitted that he doesn't have any plans, only "a concept of a plan"!? Whatever that means. That statement would have been a death knell for any other presidential candidate. But of course Trump is graded on a curve.

Mark McKinnon long time GOP strategist & advisor just made a suggestion on CNN that would likely IMO lead to a blue tsunami in the swing states.

Taylor Swift to play a series of free concerts with admission being solely and simply proof of registration to vote regardless of partisan registration.

It won't happen but, it would both explode GOP strategists brains and the growth in youth registration would cripple the GOP for multiple cycles. The MAGA & GOP strategy relies on a disengaged youth vote and on convincing boomers to vote for the nostalgic America that never existed outside of leave it to beaver!

If, and it is a big if, the Dems can harness the youth vote and mobilise it? It is the 1st step in restoring a degree of hope for the future in the US, rather than vaingloriously seeking to live in their past.

And in what world do you live in that you think that a story, from a known liar, about people going around kidnapping pets to eat them is, on balance probably true?

Surely the default is that it's probably false, at best a misunderstanding. But to think that it's probably true!

I just can't understand why anyone would not openly laugh at the idea. At least until some actual information is given. And information from an under pressure and known liar is not really worth much

The above post is patent nonsense.

Jill Stein. Would you grow up.

How will Trump broker peace?

What peace terms will Putin accept?

As far as I see it, Trump will broker a peace in Ukraine…

…by threatening to withdraw all American military backing for Zelensky and thereby forcing him to concede to Putin the lands he has seized by force.

Finished your sentence for you. You're welcome.

Widely reported by many news associations on it but seeing as how you didn't read the article let's try this question. During his tenure, preceding the Oct 7th attacks obviously, Trump moved the American embassy from tel aviv to Jerusalem? Do you think this quelled or inflamed the tensions there?

I'm afraid that if Haitians arrive here they'll eat my dog.

But don't challenge me on it - there's a separate Pets forum for that discussion.

I have colleagues in the US who believe that immigrants are doing exactly what Trump said. 🙄 He is their "god" and there is no swaying them away from the MAGA madness.

Hope you corrected them and say that there's no verified reports on this happening

They've even got a new chant

Haitians, wherever they may be

They eat dogs in other countries

That poster's 'logic' appears to be it would be better for Ukraine if America forced them to accept Russia's seizure of the amount of land they currently occupy because if Ukraine fights on they will only end up losing more…

While my hat is totally off to Harris in many respects, I personally don’t think she moved the dial too much on either the economy or security- the two big guns that Trump has led out on in previous polls - this has to change in the coming weeks along with speaking directly to, not lecturing at, the voters in the swing states .

In terms of polls, I’m really hoping there’s an underlying unidentified wave of support for Harris thats impossible to uncover using the current polling system but will spring up come polling day- might be mad hoping for that but you can’t get a worse version of Trump than he is right now - and there’s unprecedented support for a democratic candidate from all sorts of places including the republicans themselves. I’m praying for red states turning blue - if she keeps concentrating on the voters that count now, she has a chance

No.

No one really does.

The same kind of peace he 'brokered' in Afghanistan? Where he surrendered to the Taliban and released prisoners?
That's no peace, that's surrender.

If you care about the fate of Ukrainian civilians you would not want to leave them to the kind of peace Trump would have in store for them.

But that's exactly what Trump would do.

Trump isn't interested in peace. He isn't interested in Russia raping, murdering… when has he ever condemned any of Russia's atrocities or war crimes? Well? Because that isn't any kind of peace is it?

But then, you couldn't expect a rapist to care about rapes could you?

Trump is pro genocide and pro rape.
Do you think the kind of guy who spreads racist drivel about immigrants "poisoning the blood of the nation" or eating pets cares a damn for peace in Ukraine?
He just wants walk away and to leave his buddy Putin to carve it up. A little piece here, a little piece there, a piece of the action.

Kamala Harris is not interested in that kind of 'peace'. Nor is Ukraine. Nor should they be.

Big genocide in Gaza if you haven't noticed.
