The Right's Limp Abdication and Surrender to Fascism is on display
[QUOTE=Spidy;2956516]Pretty good video! The comedic bit of [I][b] "...control room please show me, where Harris called Trump a fascist",[/b][/I] was fantastic. It was a good example and highlighted the Repubs, continually boldface hypocrisy, on who exactly called who fascist. Naturally, it was the senile Trump!
Oh yes! It's all too very funny (and also very delusional), [i][b]when those that would quote and wax poetic about repetitive lying and quote Joseph Goebbels,[/b][/i] don't seem to quite understand when they're being brainwashed by Trump, into believing, many of his lies, which often lead to violence, an arrest, jail or worst.
Their gullibility to accept and believe those same [I][b]"big lies",[/b][/I] about the 2020 election being "stolen", as they now ridiculously believe, every piece of bullshit and wild accusations that comes out of the 78-yr old senile and habitual serial liar's mouth. It is just more evidence of the cult, than a serious political party.
But I guess when you're being lied to on a daily basis, you become blinded or numb to the pathology of Trump. It'd be funny, if it weren't so pitiful and delusional, too watch such brainwashed, zombified, radicalized, cultist behavior, play out in his "clown show" Republican Party.
YES, where do you begin with such nonsensical Repub political culture wars on "woke"?
Well, I can't tell you where to begin, [B]but I can tell you where it ended,[/B] for one "Meatball Ron" DeSantis's 2020 election ("Culture War") campaign run.
With regards to "woke", it was just as equally funny, to see "Meatball Ron" (a name Trump calls him) DeSantis, go down in Repub campaign historical flames, by basically, [I][b]impaling himself on his "woke sword" (...kkkk!), [/b][/I] as one of the WORST run campaigns, in Repub history.
With little to no substance, other than nonsensical "woke" gibberish, he (nor anyone else) could never clearly define, to WTF he was really talking about, other than slinging a "woke" slogan around, to make himself look "cool" and "hip".
Remember the bottom half of his campaign [I](perhaps 6-weeks before he quit and his sponsors dropped him like a bad joke)[/I], he never uttered, another single syllable w/r to his [I][b]"war on woke" (...kkkk!) [/b][/I] and had nothing else meaningful, to say or add to his campaign, after that.
"Meatball Ron" DeSantis's 2020 election campaign, based on nothing but "woke" cultural war propaganda, was an epic and classic textbook campaign failure.[/QUOTE]We can track the Right's and their perennial election benefactors in Mainstream Media's dutiful March toward a Fascist America by their dismissal and acceptance of Trump's thousands upon thousands of America-hating lies as "par for the course. Nothing newsworthy about this, folks" while they nit-pik over Harris' well-informed and intelligent response to the third or tenth question in this or that interview Trump was too limp dick scared to sit for because she hesitated between the words "there" and "is".
And then we have the Right's utter denial and acceptance of it, first with, "Oh, he didn't say that". So you show them the video, then it's "Oh, he didn't mean that. If he wanted to do that he would have done it the first time around. ".
LOL.
They are totally ignorant or is it lovingly accepting of the fact that "the first time around" he TRIED mightily and repeatedly to "do that" but was thwarted and prevented from doing it by the very people in his Administration from his VP to his Defense Secretaries to his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to his National Security Advisors who are now refusing to endorse him, proudly endorsing Harris or publically outing him as the Fascist To The Core he clearly is and had not yet been crowned King Above The Law by his Loony MAGA Repub 6 on the Supreme Court.
All of which will be different "the second time around. ".
Trump calls America a "garbage can"? But what are Trump's policies on the subject?
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2956554]I could care less. ... [/QUOTE] (...kkkk!) Oh, you cared enough,...to at least unwittingly (or wittingly) repeat yourself and basically ask the same questions and post the same [i][b]"garbage" rhetoric.[/b][/i]

So speaking of "garbage", rather than posting repeated questions and Repub\MAGA rhetoric, do me a favor and explain, why does Donald Trump, want the U.S. presidency, when he clearly hates America and Americans, as demonstrated by his latest outburst, calling America a "garbage can"?
[i][b]BTW, you've yet to tell me, what are the policies, Trump/Vance ticket is running on?[/b][/i] (a URL link, or article verifying said policies would be nice). Other than tax-cuts for billionaires and dissing Veep Harris, that is? For example, what are their polices, that are going to make American lives better for ALL AMERICANS, that aren't billionaires?
Since you know all about your candidate Trump, as he's been running for office for the last 18 months, this should be easy-peazy, RIGHT?
At the risk of being extremely repetitive indeed
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2956714]At the risk of being extremely repetitive, please see Figure 9 in the link below, on page 45.
[URL]https://conference.nber.org/conf_papers/f191672.pdf[/URL]
The paper was published by the NBER, which counts 47 current and former Nobel prize winners as members and affiliates, and was written by economists at Harvard, Princeton, the Treasury Department, and the University of Chicago.
Government revenues from labor, primarily social security and Medicare contributions, exceed the decline in government revenues from the corporate income tax about 5 years after the tax cut. Furthermore, at year 10, revenues from the corporate income tax are higher than they would have been if the federal rate had remained at a sky high rate of 35%!
The fact that government revenues from employment taxes go up in the medium-to-long term as a result of the TCJA's corporate cut means that the TCJA must increase the number of jobs and / or level of wages.
Again, being extremely repetitive, your $2. 5 trillion number is based on old estimates that assume the TCJA changes in the tax code will not sunset. That probably will only happen if Democrats play a part in making that happen. The sane ones don't want to take the federal corporate rate back to 35%, and practically none of them want to let Trump's tax cuts on households making less than $400,000/ year expire.
And, again, as illustrated in Figure 9, the corporate cuts in the long run should actually increase government revenues. So the $2.5 trillion is a pretty darned flaky number.[/QUOTE]Nobody needs to download a tiny print file and scroll down forever to page 45 to look Figure 9 to know beyond a doubt how and why wages increased for ANYBODY in 2018 and 2019, which then continued into 2020 until Trump's Pandemic wiped out millions upon millions of jobs. In fact, one oight to be able to actually remember when these events and results were occurring contemporaneously since it wasn't even that long ago.
And it was not, could not possibly have been because Trump and his idiot Repubs' $2. 5+Trillion deficit adding Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed on the last business day of 2017.
Why?
Because the major beneficiaries of that Act, corporate CEOs, promised America even before it was passed, blessedly without a single Dem vote, that it would not inspire, encourage or cause them to expand their businesses or create jobs. Primarily, they were going to buy back their failed stock with the hot money windfall from that tax cut.
6 years later, the data proved they kept that promise.
An economic "stimulus" legislation that creates fewer jobs with it than without it does not require anyone to raise wages for anybody no matter how many Trillions it adds to the deficit.
No tiny print file, pages 1 thru 50 and all 9 figures are necessary to understand that.
However, RAISING the minimum wage does increase wages for millions and triggers wage increases further up the ranks as well.
Behold:

LOL.[/QUOTE]To further illustrate your point on the unfair, unreasonable and abnormally high amount of asymmetric criticism and scrutiny, leveled at Veep Harris, from MSM, news pundits and the like, has not gone unnoticed by some campaign watchers and on two (2) occasions had gone somewhat viral, as main stream media (MSM), were called out on the disparity on the coverage.
[LIST]First there was Van Jones: On a CNN interview panel, aptly said, [i]"Donald Trump gets to be [b]'lawless'[/b] while Kamala Harris, has to be [b]'flawless'[/b] "[/i] [url]https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/23/politics/video/van-jones-trump-kamala-harris-town-hall-digvid[/url][/LIST][LIST]Second, there was, Charlamagne Tha God: Who went on CNN and challenged Anderson Cooper (CNN anchor), over how the network covers the divisive and "fascist" Donald Trump, compared to the very accomplished egalitarian and freedom fighting, Veep Harris. [url]https://www.huffpost.com/entry/charlamagne-tha-god-cnn-trump-harris-bullshit-anderson-cooper_n_671b17d2e4b051419015eb5c[/url][/LIST]Personally I'm glad to see more people recognize the disparity and address the inequities in the unbalanced coverage, [u]given the platitudes of "garbage" that comes out of Trump's potty mouth.[/u]
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2956552]They are totally ignorant or is it lovingly accepting of the fact that "the first time around" he TRIED mightily and repeatedly to "do that" but was thwarted and prevented from doing it by the very [b]people in his Administration from his VP to his Defense Secretaries to his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to his National Security Advisors[/b] who are now refusing to endorse him, proudly endorsing Harris or publically outing him as the Fascist To The Core he clearly is and had not yet been crowned King Above The Law by his Loony MAGA Repub 6 on the Supreme Court.[/QUOTE]Correct again, to your points regarding the number of staff members that have previously work with the fascist Trump and have seen the fascist's corrupt dealings, for real, on a daily basis and up close, is staggering. I've simply lost count, of how many Generals and top military personnel have come forward to denounce Trump now? What is it now, 12, 15...20...30...40?
What is clear though, is that as Veep Harris, continues to comport herself, as the ONLY REAL viable presidential candidate, it is becoming increasing clear from many Republicans, presently or formally in office, that their shifting allegiance, to w/r to supporting and voting for Harris, has gained real momentum, in these final few days.
[B]3 more Republicans endorsements[/B], from key battleground swing states, just endorsed Veep Harris. Republican State Sen. Rob Cowles, Green Bay (WI) (and has never before supported a Dem candidate for president), former Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) has already cast his vote for Harris (call Trump "unhinged") and former Repub Shawn Reilly, Mayor of Waukesha (R-WI) (his 1st ever endorsement of a Dem President).
Credit where credit is due, I think Liz Cheney's permission structure, is working like a charm. But it ONLY WORKS under a Veep Harris campaign, that proudly seeks to UNITE America.
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2956552]All of which will be different [b]"the second time around. "[/b][/QUOTE]Hopefully, there'll be no second time around! So no amount of [i][b]"sane washing",[/b][/i] by Trump apologists, for Trump's "garbage can" potty mouth, is gonna make, the majority (roughly 54% non-MAGA to roughly 46% MAGA) of Americas fall for that okey-doke!

[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2956749]Trump just did 3 hours with Joe Rogan. Kamala did 30 minutes with Fox. In the Rogan interview, the topics were all over the map, and it was a great conversation.

Needless to say, the 3-hour waste of time by DJT, was universally panned, as yet another [i][b]"Trump brain fart" (...kkkk!),[/b][/i] and widely seen as a [i]"brain-rotted waste of 3-hours".[/i]
But, hey look I think, we've all had endless hours of [i]"conversations"[/i] with friends talking about "E.T.s", life on mars and other irrelevant non-presidential issues of the day not entirely germane at all, to helping working Americans, live their best future lives, but none of us are running for president.
Just like the recent NYC rally and the 3-hour Rogan podcast, it's plainly obvious to the non-gullible, non-MAGA and non-brainwashed, that those [i]"Trump campaign policies"[/i], outlined in the link provided, are nothing more than a carnival of grievances, misogyny, racism and a well catered to "billionaire buddy club's" get richer wish list!
[i][b]What the heck, Elvis 2008, half of those "policies", read like Trump's felony rap-sheet of violations and crimes he's committed! (...kkkk!) [/b][/i]

Paying it forward to the Trump supporters here
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2956857]The following opinion piece sums up what is at stake in the 2024 US Election. Vote for Kamela if you want to see the end of the USA as we know it. Vote for Trump if you want to continue to live in the same country that you and everyone you know grew up in.
"The Wall Street Journal editorial page is convinced that if Kamala Harris is elected, she will target the Supreme Court for destruction by "packing" it with political appointees. The opinion makes sense because the court is the strongest barrier to a progressive takeover of the country.
To me, that's the most dangerous political situation this country has faced since the south seceded in 1860. The progressive left is totalitarian, and Ms. Harris is their spear point. The far-left agenda includes the following:
- Amnesty for undocumented migrants.
- Reparations for slavery..[/QUOTE]This video is less than 20 minutes long yet chock-full of Trump's 2nd term plans and proposals. Please pay it forward to other Trump supporters you know.
I know most of you have already voted. But, should Trump squeak out an EC Vote lead next week, this overview will tell you some things your and anyone else's vote for anyone other than Harris has contributed to accomplishing.
BTW, I disagree greatly with Jimmy Kimmel here. This election is partially about what he said. But it is also very much about policy and stewardship results:
