I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote
“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”
Gov. Kemp has been trying to call the president, and can't get him.
The federal government and NC democrat governor have been going out of their way to not help republican areas.
They will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month and even after birth.
The cats and dogs. You mean the same story everybody heard before the police said there was no credible instances of this happening? Trump didn't make this up himself, it was already circulating before the debate. Did you know that not all police reports are followed up with charges? Or some are not even investigated as there would be not feeble evidence to lay a charge? Do you know of any 911 calls about this? I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being true as well.
The Minnesota law allows abortion up to the 9th month. It has no term restrictions. Are you going to deny that? Or say it restored Roe when Roe ristructs up to 16 weeks? Like Walz did?
Oh and an abortion at any stage causes fetal demise. Unless the fetus has already died. What do you think happens to the fetus? Any abortion other than early delivery ends the viability of the fetus. Even when it's done to save the mother.
All of that sounds desperate. You just aren't good at projection.
You don't have any idea what you said, apparently. At this point your responses are bordering on emotional gibberish.
Re the comments about Vance: Apparently he doesn't remember when "crazy scary stories" about Kamala Harris becoming president was a talking point of the GOP campaigns in 2015.
Accusation = confession, again.
Stepping in for a deceased or incapacitated president is literally the vice president's whole job description under the constitution. Why would we not look at the VP candidate's qualification to do that job, especially given the obvious rapid decline of the presidential candidate? And I'm supposed to believe that this user is a specialist in memory care??

We could believe that or we could examine the knowledge base reflected in the comments and harbor skepticism.

Could you have imagined if in 2015 the GOP came up with a conspiracy theory that Hillary VP would plot scheme to take over the presidency?
Do you think that I am discouraged by the questioning of my credentials? Or would you extend the same criticism to another member who apparently specializes in several specialties? And believes this make him qualified to not only diagnose dementia but mental illness as well?
He might tell you that it is common phycology for people to use ad hominiem when they feel their own credentials and knowledge are lacking. When you can't debate, you degrade.
Thought I'd step in here and post an interesting little blurb I found in the most recent issue of The WEEK magazine:
TUNIS, TUNISIA / New authoritarian: Tunisian President Kais Saied won re-election this week in a landslide with 91% of the vote, after jailing all his major potential opponents. Critics called the election a sham and accused Saied of establishing a new authoritarian regime in the country that had sparked the 2011 Arab Spring by kicking out longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Saied won his first term democratically, but in 2021 he dismissed parliament and installed a rubber-stamp legislature. Rhomdhane Ben Amor, spokesman for the Tunisian Forum for Social and Economic Rights, said "He believes he has a divine mission that would fulfill the people's will." Saied's closest challenger, businessman Ayachi Zammel, took 7.4% despite spending much of the campaign in jail.
Sound kinda like someone running in the US for a second term?
Do you think that if the criminal and civil charges against Trump landed him in prison that this would result on 91% approval for Harris? A win for her?
Does sound familiar doesn't it?
Were the democrats hoping for an outcome like President Kais Saied had? Jailing their political opponent?
I think you said the quiet part out loud there. Woops.

Well, his plan to reduce violent crime isn't supporting far left radical ideas of "no cash bail" and fundraising for for bail of violent rioters. Like Harris did and will continue to do if elected.
Trump is capable of gaining the support of millions of Americans and just might be your president again.
You don't know what Trump's plan is beyond a night of violence or other dark thinking... that's all he's articulated. Trump is a felon, Harris is a prosecutor. Who do you think has better ideas about law and order?
Really? Trump is gaining support? Because Trump wasn't even capable of answering straightforward questions recently. In one event he just rambled about random thoughts unrelated to the questions and in another he stopped talked and just wanted to sway to music on the stage. Do you think that won over discerning voters?

You watch Fox allot. And Trump apparently.
I do pay pretty close attention to Trump. He is an old mentally and cognitively challenged man who tried to overthrow our republic and is trying to regain power. Don't you pay close attention to him?
I watch what Fox I can from YouTube because I do not have cable TV and haven't for many years.
Were you trying to make a point about Trump in the Trump thread?

Why would Trump going to prison increase Harris's approval ratings? How are those two things related, in your mind? That is Trumpian logic.
No, it doesn't sound familiar, it sounds weird.
Which candidate is campaigning on jailing political opponents? Oh right, that would be Trump, again. Hey, everybody... look over there where you can see Trump... definitely not in jail even though he's guilty of a bunch of felonies and tried to overthrow our government.

Yes. You say how you feel about Trump often.
If you watched him to try and see what he is actually saying, then there would be mlno problem with that.
You watch him exclusively to critizie and find disqualifying characteristics. This is the primary motive. Do you watch him more than your chosen party?
