Would it make you happy if she cozied up to Putin or Kim? Which brutal dictator would be better when it comes to being manipulated?

Do me favor and at least the read the crap you copy before you paste it. You won't have to shovel it as high to cover a point.

I've come to the conclusion you are clueless.

But the much publicized CNN interview did not reveal much new – and at the same time one of Harris's major weaknesses was exposed.

More Walz fabrication. This guy lies a lot. He is catching up to Trump.

Saw a few excerpts of that Harris-Walz-CNN "interview", not too much, I do not care too much. Did Harris actually say something substantial? To me she was only dancing on tiptoes to not do so. And why Walz by her side? Afraid of walking the walk all by herself and alone?

The same federal judge that denied Trump’s first attempt to remove the State hush money election interference case to federal court has denied the second attempt today.

We are to be surprised?

Perhaps if you choose to be. I'm just posting legal news that has a bearing on Trump's legal entanglements.

It's not necessary. They just change the verbiage and indictment begins again. We already know what the outcome will be. If that doesn't work they will find something else. Al Capone criminal career is chicken feed compared to Trump. Don't know how the guy finds the time. Or the energy at 78 for that matter.

At this point it looks like he needs to win the election to avoid federal prosecution. How will he avoid state prosecution and adhere to the Constitution as well? That’s the part that makes him far more worrisome than anything a Harris administration can try to pass for me.

Only 29% of Americans think Trump is prepared to accept election result if he loses, poll says

Two-thirds of Americans believe Donald Trump is not prepared to accept the outcome of the presidential election, a new poll reveals.

Just 29 percent of Americans said the former president is ready to accept the election results, while 68 percent said Kamala Harris is prepared, an ABC News/Ipsos poll published Friday reveals. Meanwhile, 81 percent of Americans said they are personally prepared to accept whatever the outcome might be.

Over half of the poll participants were also very or somewhat confident that votes will be counted accurately, ABC News reports. However, there was variation between parties. Fifty-one percent of Republicans said they aren’t confident the election will be called accurately, while 90 percent of Democrats said they have confidence in the count.
These responses come years after Trump and his allies falsely claimed he won the presidential election and was cheated out of the White House due to voter fraud in 2020. This is untrue and there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud influencing the election.

After Trump repeatedly made this claim, thousands of his supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, to interrupt lawmakers from confirming President Joe Biden’s legitimate win.

Since Trump left office, four secretaries of state said they’ve received death threats for carrying out their duties. Meanwhile, one in six election workers reported being threatened because of their jobs, according to a 2022 survey from the Brennan Center for Justice.

The former president is facing election interference charges in Fulton County, Georgia, alongside his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and several others.

Trump was also indicted again in Washington, DC, this week for his attempts to overturn the election. The new indictment comes after the Supreme Court ruled this summer that the former president has some “immunity” from prosecution.

Prosecutors now appear to be downplaying any connection between Trump’s “official” duties and his actions surrounding the election results, The Independent previously reported.

“The Defendant had no official responsibilities related to the certification proceeding, but he did have a personal interest as a candidate in being named the winner of the election,” the new indictment reads.

Meanwhile, national polls show Harris pulling ahead of Trump. The vice president has a 3.4-point lead over the former president, according to the latest average of national polls.

Harris has also surged ahead of Trump following last week’s Democratic National Convention, according to a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll released August 29.

Harris is leading Trump 48 percent to 43 percent, which is an eight-point turnaround from June when the former president was ahead of Biden by four points.

The Independent has contacted the Trump campaign for comment.

Try and pass what? Only thing that CNN interview brought to light was it showed her as someone who is weak and insecure, easy to control and manipulate. She’ll be the prefect puppet for the faceless unelected bureaucracy protecting their government job.

Contrary to the other candidate who goes against the unelected bureaucrats and power hungry. Who seems, to me at least, always trying their best to keep him out of the way.

When have you known the Dems to adhere to the Constitution? What is more worrisome is the policy of free handouts Harris proposing. None of here proposals will help the economy. One time child tax credit? $25k to new home buyers? Zero talk in this thread about these useless policies. These policies are regurgitated at every rally. Policies only designed to entice a vote in exchange of money. Harris will not deliver.

How about social security? Are you Budda enjoying 100 percent of what is due you? When it's my time to utilize social security I will get 85 percent of what is due to me. Thus far Trump said he will work on no taxation of social security. Of course the parrot Harris states the same. Issue here is I don't believe Harris at all. She is running a HS class president campaign. Promising things she will not deliver.

I don’t think this Trump interview on Arlington was posted here. Trump claims he doesn’t know anything about it, blames other people, even the fallen’s family, and then claims he was set up by Biden’s administration.

Funny how nothing is ever his fault, ever.

Time to move on from this distraction. I'm sure there will be additional distractions founded or made up all can relish in.

Policy? What say you?

[AVGWarhawk]

Harris's taxation of the rich. Another bad plan attempted in the past. 100 million or more net worth your taxes are going up. The thing here is these multimillionaire and billionaires didn't get this rich because they are stupid. They have the means to leave. And they do. They have the means to move money in a way that it does not fall under her taxation plan. But this plan rings like the angels in heaven to the those that that socialism is the way to go. The rich don't pay their fair share. Those cheeky bastards.

What pixie dust is Harris sprinkling next?
