American Politics

[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2953994]You did not watch the interview. You are just repeating what was on MSNBC and in the NYT.[/QUOTE]

If you going to make false claims, then let my falsely say, you may have watched the FOXY Muse Harris interview, as I did, but you understand nothing, about what you're watching, other than what FOXY Muse tell you to say. (See what I did there? ...kkkk!)

Veep Harris's FOXY Muse interview, drew a whopping eye watering 8.3+ million viewers, that WANTED to watch and listen to Veep Harris. As opposed, to a mingy 3.1 million viewers for Trump. [i][b]That's gotta STING,[/b][/i] w/r to which candidate Americans really want to hear and listen to, speak coherently.

But who can blame Americans, that no longer want to listen to an idiotic and imbecilic pussy-grabbing candidate, again fixated on talking about "size", this time referring to [b]Arnold Palmer's penis[/b], as if it were a Trump/Vance campaign issue, that Americans cared about. Talk about senile and deranged!

More than twice (2x) as many people, tuned-in to see Veep Harris's joyous messages and hear her campaign policies, that better the lives of working Americans, rather than the senile stodgy old man, Trump, looking only to benefit himself and his billionaire buddies.

And the great thing about going into "hostile territory" (or the 'Lion's Den'), was that Harris, is proving to be more presidential, powerful, strong and unwavering in the face of her most critical political opponents, media and pundits. She is garnering, even more support from Repubs, the undecided and independent voters, now get to see more of what a REAL presidential candidate looks like, with REAL campaign policies.

If Harris's interview reaches even 10% of the FOXY Muse audience that watched her clear, concise and convincing speech, that's a BIG PLUS in the Harris/Walz, asset column of their campaign ledger, that will make ALL the difference in some of those key battle ground swing states. Thank you FOXY Muse!

Her strong FOXY Muse interview, is yet another example and reason, why when MORE Americans see and hear Veep Harris, talk about her policies and what she'll do for Americans, the MORE Americans like her. Even in the face of Baier interrupting her 2x as much.

[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2953994]Trump mentioned the interview in an interview with Maria be. It was about 2 seconds of the interview. Baier played the clip where Trump explained what he meant by enemies within in a different interview. Of course, that is not the point. The notion is Trump is going to use the army against his enemies.

You might not like it but there are exceptions to the rule the Commander in Chief cannot use the USA military against American citizens. [URL]https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/10/17/donald-trump-enemy-within-quote/75714201007/[/URL]

And normally I would be aghast at such talk however one stipulation of the rule is "Some sort of violence or conspiracy is depriving others of their Constitutional rights. " ... [/QUOTE]

So tell me, when the people and the TOP ex-Generals who have worked with Trump, say he's a [i][b]"Fascist to the Core"[/b][/i], do you really think, that constitutional statute, you trotted out, is gonna STOP "wannabe dictator" Trump? Or a SCOTUS induced, tyrant "king" Trump?

Since when have rule of law, constitutional law or statutes of law STOPPED dictators, tyrants and despots, like Trump?

Your attempt to defend the indefensible, can only be, just some kind of sycophant weird, "Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football", joke! Which you Repubs, just love to play with Trump.

As we all know, "Project 2025", dictator on the 1st day" [i][b]Trump, has repeatedly vowed to "...terminate the Constitution of the United States"[/b][/i]

[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2954291]The reality is Kamala went on Fox News and ducked every question, and her team and the media wanted to portray like she went into the lion's den for 30 minutes and acted heroic [b]when the truth is Trump [u]lives[/u] in the lion's den... [/b][/QUOTE]

[u]This is Trump, in the proverbial "Lion's Den", as the headlines read:[/u]

• Trump’s team says he’s ‘exhausted,’ bails on even more interviews
• Trump, Who Brags About His 'Stamina,' Is Ducking Interviews Because He's 'Exhausted'
• Trump's decision to skip an interview with The Shade Room
• Trump Too 'Exhausted' to Do Interviews With Unfriendly Outlets ("Lion's Den")
• Harris Throws Gauntlet At Trump For Ducking Debate, Interviews: ‘What Is He Hiding?’
• Harris Dunks On Trump For Being Too 'Exhausted' For Interviews
• Old Man Trump "Exhausted", Nixing Interviews With Neutral Outlets

Ducking debates, sit-downs and cancelling interviews, is Elvis 2008's, sycophant idea of [i][b]"Trump lives in the 'Lion's Den' " (...kkkk!) (...kkkk!) [/b][/i]

Do you even know who senile old-man Trump is?

[u]Trump is MORE LIKE the "Cowardly Lion" who 'lives' in FEAR:[/u]

Trump is like a bad senile version of the [i][b]"Cowardly Lion",[/b][/i] (from the Wizard of Oz), that constantly 'lives in FEAR', than any so called 'Lion's Den'. The only difference is, the Cowardly Lion, faces his fears and overcomes them.

[i][b]The fact is, Trump is RUNNING SCARED![/b][/i] It's plainly obvious that, the MORE people see his rallies, hear him talk (if you can call it that), dance and rant, the MORE voters are literally bored of his childish, imbecilic and doddering antics and hastily turn and look to vote for Veep Harris (or stay on the couch).

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2955036]Now Trump may not be your cup of tea, and many people detest his personality, but he is not totalitarian. Can you at least admit this?[/QUOTE]Because he's clearly a "want to be" who admires "Putler", the fourth dinner guest. Call me many things. But don't call me a "facist".

She made the dumb comment about "following the law" with the border and sex change operations in prisoners, whatever that means.

The highest Kamala ever got in the betting markets was 51% after the debate. And Trump is at a 66% chance of winning now. Kamala is even down from 77% to 57% on winning the popular vote. Republicans are even up to 47% now on a clean sweep.

You had the VP debate moving the needle a little, hurricane relief moving the needle a ton, and the final nail in the coffin was this interview. It is over.

You should ask Biden to come back now. Even his numbers were better than this.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2954824]If your stock and retirement package portfolio "fell 78% when the Dems took office" it sounds like you stayed too long at the fair in a volatile, rather risky package that was clearly not diversified enough to justify holding very long at all.

(Rounding to a reasonable whole number and percentage and ignoring dividends) The USA Stock Market as measured by the go-to Wall Street standard S&P 500 Index closed at 2263 on January 20,2017, the day Donald Trump took office.

It closed at 3798 on January 20,2021, the day Joe Biden took office.

That would be a 68% gain after the entire 4 Trump years.

Yesterday, and with 3 months left in Biden's term, it closed at 5854.

That is a 54% gain. No idea where it will close today or what it will do in the next 3 months. But it is not unrealistic to suggest it very easily could match or exceed the gain in the Trump years.

Regardless, I feel pretty comfortable that there won't be a "78% decline" from the day Biden took office to the day Harris gets sworn in.

Now, you referred to two different timeframes; one was "since the Dems took office", which means from inauguration to inauguration, which is what the above calculations reflect.

But your other time frame was "since Trump was elected. " So let's look at what happened from election day 2016 to election day 2020 and then right up to today, 2 weeks before the next election day:

The S&P 500 Index closed at 2163 on November 9, 2016, the day Trump was elected.

It closed at 3369 on November 2, 2020, the day Biden was elected.

That would be a 56% gain "under" Trump.

Yesterday, two weeks before the next election day, the S&P 500 Index closed at 5864.

That is a 74% gain "under" Biden. So far. Quite a bit better than Trump's 56%, wouldn't you say? I would.

It would appear you really should have shifted all of your equity holdings out of whatever hot money, high risk equities you were in under Trump and into a no-brainer, broadly diversified, low cost S&P 500 Index Fund or a Total Stock Market Index Fund the day Joe Biden was elected.

I mean, damn, that would have been a 152% swing into positive gains in a portfolio you barely needed to even think about over the past 4 years under Biden.

And, BTW, haven't you been following along about how Trump added DOUBLE the amount to the deficit as Biden both before Trump's Pandemic and in response to Trump's Pandemic?

[B]Trump ran up national debt twice as much as Biden: new analysis.

[QUOTE=Spidy;2954906]Any good fortune you may have had, is most likely the continuation of great economic policies and a surge of continued growth from president Obama, his predecessor's GREAT economic run. Growth in GDP, only grew 0.1%, by the time the convict Trump, left office.

As the [i]"sanctimonious" (in some Repub Libertarian cycles,) [/i]President Obama said, [i][b]"That was my economy!..."[/b][/i]

So you telling me, you've done great under the worst president in history vs. me telling you, my portfolio, has done [i][b]better under the 10th & 14th best presidents in U.S. History,[/b][/i] in Obama and Biden (respectively), while our tales of good fortune under different presidents, may make for good bulletin board material, they are pretty much a moot conversational subjective points of arguments on the collective, larger economy as a whole.

Meaning, our own single individual investment successes or failures are not, "bellwether indicators" for an entire U.S. Nation of some 346 million people and doesn't mean much [i][b]or amount to a "hill-a-beans"[/b][/i] and is NOT necessarily an indictment, on the strength or weakness of the boarder markets, GDP, businesses, or the US economy is a whole.

It's JUST FOOLISH, to make such claims!

For me (and what many business pundits, like Goldman Sachs and Fortune are saying is that), Veep Harris, is simply just the better, sane and coherent candidate, for US presidency and for the economy.

[b]You can BOOK IT!...[/b]Harris for a President, that governs for EVERYONE! (Not just the billionaires!)
[b]You can BOOK IT!...[/b]Harris for an economy for EVERYONE! (and NOT just Trump's bank account)[/QUOTE]They went from feeble to Weeble. Those little things that rock back and forth, remember those? She must be on those pep pills they slipped to Biden for his debate. She goes back and forth bashing Trump. What does she actually bring to the table? Honestly both candidates suck. People should just do write ins and put down Regan. I know, hes dead. Still would be better and Biden wouldn't feel so bad about losing it.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2955036]I get that you hate Trump and think he is terrible. My observation was that Kamala is the worst political candidate I have seen in my life is not a political / philosophical comment. It is merely an observation that the woman sucks on the campaign trail and can't sem to answer a single question without a teleprompter. Do you think Obama would have had a hard time being interviewed by Bret Baier? Of course not. Obama whether you liked him or disliked him was a skillful and adroit politician. Kamala is not! She is worse than Hubert Humphrey, Michael Dukakis, or Gerald Ford. Come on man, admit it. KKK /555.

There are many forms of fascism. Hitler's fascism was formally called National Socialism and yeah, he came at it from the far right. Chairman Mao's form of fascism was called communism and Mao came at it from the far left. Truth be told, the Mao's Cultural Revolution is closely aligned with today's Woke philosophy. It is sad that you and many well-meaning Americans do not see the historical / philosophical connection. Try to think of political ideology as a 360 degree physical object in space like the moon. The far left and the far right meet on the dark side of the moon. Remember it is the Left in America that wants an open border and allow illegal aliens to vote in elections. It is the Left that wants to stack the Supreme Court with leftwing ideologues. It is the Left that wants to grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico to gain 4 Senate seats and a permanent majority. It is the Left that want to get rid of the Filibuster in the senate and pass all legislation with a simple majority. It is the Left that wants to indoctrinate are children in public schools and wants to sexually mutilate their bodies. It is the Left that wants to deny parents their right to raise their children. It is the Left that is against free speech and punishes people who disagree with it's doctrines. It is the left that has taken over Journalism and made it a tool of the party. It is the left that wants to confiscate private property. It was the Left that impeached President Trump twice for nothing IE for political reasons. It is the Left that has unleashed the Justice system on an ex-President and the Number 1 opposition political candidate that they disagree with ie "Lawfare". I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that it is the Left that hates America and wants to fundamentally change it and turn America into a one party dictatorship and it has a blueprint, Mao's Cultural Revolution adapted for American audiences to accomplish the goal. So yeah, Wokeism is fundamentally Fascist or if you prefer fundamentally totalitarian and there is little difference between the far left and the far right except that the Communists (Wokes) are better organized than the far right.

Now Trump may not be your cup of tea, and many people detest his personality, but he is not totalitarian. Can you at least admit this?[/QUOTE]I am 100% sure the former United States Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump, General Mark A. Milley, knows the truth about all your Fux / Newsmax / Breitbart-spun "left" blather as well as much, much more about the history and categories of Fascism throughout history than you or I will ever know.

Yet, he has not chosen to characterize anyone in the USA government or in any movement in America as "Fascist to the core" other than Donald "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had" Trump:

[B]Trump: I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had.
The Republican nominees preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening.
Oct. 22, 2024[/B]

[URL]https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/trump-military-generals-hitler/680327/[/URL]

Or perhaps Mike Pence, several former Trump Defense Secretaries, National Security Advisors, other members of Trump's Joint Chiefs of Staff, Communications Directors, etc have an opinion on exactly how "terrible" Trump is.

Or maybe the immediate previous, pre bought-off incarnation of Trump's current VP running mate has an opinion on which kind of Fascist to the core or Hitler-like Trump is.

All of whom I guarantee you also are better informed on the topic of how "terrible" Trump is than you or any of the rest of us here will likely ever know.

BTW, I would say any female of mixed minority heritage and a VP to boot who is ahead of a 9 year long Mainstream Media-assisted and complicit Cult Leader for 47% of the electorate in most poll aggregators on the national level and easily within a normal MoE of every battleground state she needs to win the presidency, is out fund-raising her Repub opponent by huge amounts, totally slaughtered him in the one debate he dared to show up for before going into hiding and dodging several high profile real interview opportunities while she has not and is predicted to win the election by people with damn good records for getting it right is not a bad candidate at all.

Of course, we offer condolences and hope for the best for the survivors.

But as a continuation of the truism that "Everything Trump touches turns to shit and dies", the timing couldn't be better:

[QUOTE=WestsideGuy89;2955157]That was 7%. OMG. 78% I would shoot myself. Sorry. Trump asked a valid question and she still hasnt answered it. If Trumps poilicies were so bad. Why didn't the Dems change them?[/QUOTE]I answered that question directly already. And I went further in a subsequent post to explain why no incoming president can just drop our weapons and surrender to a Trade War or Combat War initiated by the previous president.

Is Xi and all the other countries dragged into Trump's failed Trade War and Tariffs guaranteeing they will halt all of their retaliatory measures this minute too? If not, then it needs to get incremental negotiations that take time.

Otherwise, you never answered my question about what Trump "policies" Biden kept.

Biden did not keep Trump's policy of NO Infrastrucure legislation.

Biden didn't keep Trump's policy of passing economic "stimulus" legislation that adds $2. 5+ Trillion to the deficit and not 1 net gain job in the first 3 years with it than were created in the previous 3 years without it.

Biden did not keep Trump's policy of NO bi-partisan Chips and Science Act.

Biden didn't keep Trump's policy of dithering and scheming to turn the rapid distribution and administering of the Trump's Pandemic vaccines into a personal and crony money grab.

Biden did not keep Trump's policy of publicly blowing Putin and other dictators.

Biden didn't keep Trump's policy of denegrating our allies in favor of our enemies, trash talk the greatest western democratic military alliance of all time, NATO, and make sure no new countries would want to join vs TWO new countries joining it.

Biden didn't keep Trump's policy of blackmailing a budding democracy into fabricating dirt on his political adversaries or he won't release the military aid needed to fend off a bloody attack on his country and earmarked by Congress for that purpose.

Biden didn't keep Trump's policy of inciting a violent, cop-killing mob of insurrectionists and leading them into battle On American Soil in a War Against Free and Fair elections.

Biden didn't keep Trump's policy of maintaining USA Combat troops on the ground in a full on War in Afghanistan for the entire 1,460 days of his presidency.

See? Biden kept virtually NONE of Trump's most significant policies.

So what Trump "policy" other than those were you referring to that Biden kept?

So let me get this right. The senile old-man candidate, that gets on the U.S. national presidential campaign stage and [i][b]rambles on for 9-mins, about a beloved dead golfer's genitals, penis and dick size,[/b][/i] is the guy you want in the WH, for the next four years as the US President (...kkkk!)

But she did the job and I'm sure was able to reach the 10% of viewers in the key swing states, that saw Veep Harris's strong, great and powerful performance, as she handle herself skillfully in the "Lions Den's", in the face of the interrupting Baier.

IMHO, the fact is, that when viewers got to see a REAL presidential candidate speak coherently, clearly and concisely, when answering questions (when not interrupted), made all the difference for that 10% of viewers, that want to be represented by an intelligent speaking presidential candidate.

According to you Trump, is supposed to LIVE in the "LION's DEN?" So why is the "Cowardly Lion", still MIA and ducking doing interviews and sit-downs? Let me guess "exhaustion", "senility" or just doesn't want to be "fact checked?"

Although the campaign tell us it's "exhaustion", we all know, that when Trump opens his mouth, his numbers and polls tank.

[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2955133]That is not a surprise. Her interview was a car wreck, and those are always going to be more popular than smooth traffic flow. [/QUOTE]

But hey, Elvis 2008, while your candidate is ducking interviews and fixating on dead golfer's dick sizes, the millions of people that saw that interview, the pommeling of Trump at the Presidential debate, plus the many rallies and REAL town hall interviews, has lead the Harris/Walz campaign, to a record setting $1 billion in donations, in the last Q3 quarter alone. [b]That's how strong, great and powerful Harris has been, in the "Lion's Den".[/b]

All those millions of small donor contributions, directly translate to VOTES. Contrast that with a handful of 2 or 3 billionaires, funding Trump's campaign.

Now, how on earth could 23 Nobel Prize-winning economists overwhelmingly and unanimously (or is it "anominusly", Donnie?) prefer Biden's VP and the Democratic Party's Presidential Candidate's economic policy plans over Donald McDonald's "economic" policy plans if she is so stupid, dumb, inarticulate, can't formulate a clear sentence or response to any interview question, doesn't have any ideas, doesn't understand the issues or the questions, doesn't know what she's talking about and nobody can figure out who she is or what she will do?

Oh, and the same for their previous economic policy endorsement; Joe Biden.

Is it possible that her and Joe's critics are simply too hopelessly stupid about critical economic issues as well as everything else to understand what Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and 23 Nobel Prize-winning economists have no problem whatsoever grasping with ease?

It is the left that wants to confiscate private property. It was the Left that impeached President Trump twice for nothing IE for political reasons. It is the Left that has unleashed the Justice system on an ex-President and the Number 1 opposition political candidate that they disagree with ie "Lawfare". I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that it is the Left that hates America and wants to fundamentally change it and turn America into a one party dictatorship and it has a blueprint, Mao's Cultural Revolution adapted for American audiences to accomplish the goal. So yeah, Wokeism is fundamentally Fascist or if you prefer fundamentally totalitarian and there is little difference between the far left and the far right except that the Communists (Wokes) are better organized than the far right.

Now Trump may not be your cup of tea, and many people detest his personality, but he is not totalitarian. Can you at least admit this?[/QUOTE]On Oct. 13, he promised to prioritize the prosecution of USA Citizens "domestic threats more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries" over foreign threats, warning that he would jail American men and women he considers disloyal, using military force if necessary.

"The bigger problem is the enemy from within," Trump told Fox News that same day:

We have some very bad people, we have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they're the big and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can't let that happen.

The enemies from within, in Trump's view, include elected officials. Trump specifically identified Adam Schiff, the California congressman and ranking Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence during the Trump presidency, who is now running for the Senate: "The thing that's tougher to handle are these lunatics that we have inside, like Adam Schiff. ".

Trump signaled the magnitude of his plans in a July 19,2023, Truth Social post:

This is the final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state. We will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the communists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates us, we will rout the fake news media and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.

The Trump policy result specialties of him committing serious crimes via the spread of outrageous, America-hating lies, closing schools and businesses, terrorizing and mass murdering Americans are still active even when he is not a so-called president.

Only this time he has shifted to mass murdering American infants rather than mass murdering older Americans:

[QUOTE]The two Republicans' promulgation of the false rumors led to 33 bomb threats in Springfield, as well as other threats on individuals and elected officials, according to the HBA complaint; state troopers had to be deployed to the town, and some schools and public buildings were closed or evacuated.

Friday's joint letter argues that Trump and Vance repeated the dangerous claims after they knew them to be false and that their statements predictably caused security threats; it characterizes this as "severe criminal misconduct."[/QUOTE][B]Infant mortality increased in the US in the months after Dobbs decision, study finds.
