Harris is an extreme progressive liberal, on the same page with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.. Kamala has done a u-turn and adjusted her extreme views to that of a mainstream blue collar democrat in order to get elected, but she'll revert back to a socialist agenda when in office. I suspect Trump will try to remind voters of just how far left Harris is in the Sept 10th debate. Hard to believe that these 2 clowns are the best America could come up with, I have a feeling we're screwed regardless of who wins.
Harris can't single-handedly lurch America to the left. You really need to focus on getting someone in the White House who values democracy and is not swayed by Russian propaganda. She was not democratically selected. Can you see the utter irony there?
I have noticed that, suspiciously, right as Trump begins to make gains in the polls after the DNC bounce, we're starting to hear about how Russia is trying to influence our elections. I'm looking forward to increasingly hysterical screaming of "Russia!!!!" if Trump continues to gain ground.

The immigrants in Springfield, Illinois are eating people's pet dogs and cats. Yes, and the Dems are going to kill new-born babies. It's incredible that seemingly intelligent Americans believe this stuff. BTW, Kamala wants to give parents of new-borns a $6,000 tax credit. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-harris-abc-debate-fact-check/

You should be posting your bullsht on the FunnyThread. 30% inflation.....hahaha
The exact number is 21.53 % over the past 4 years, but its still going up... Some things have gone up much more, my car insurance for example doubled. Nothing funny about that. If you haven't noticed any price hikes, I suspect your living out in the boondocks and are isolated from reality. Total Inflation Rate Over Past 4 Years

Did you know you can move the course of a hurricane with a sharpie? It is one of the many skills that Trump has. That is truly genius level. You're right....Trump is a genius. He can think outside the box. Like...using light to treat people infected with Covid. Who else would have thought of that? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/26/donald-trump-suggests-nuking-hurricanes-to-stop-them-hitting-america-reportTrump is an old man now, the oldest candidate for American president ever, so his handlers really need to guide him into retirement. His lies are becoming more shameful. The following is from: www.msn.com/en-nz/news/other/the-three-biggest-lies-trump-told-in-the-debate/ar-AA1qo7VJ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=67a6332789f441598c4662d6d33e519c&ei=10Former US President Donald Trump has been caught in quite a few lies in recent years. And even during the first major debate with his Democratic opponent, he repeatedly took a run at the truth. Here we list for you the three biggest untruths Trump told during the debate. 'Abortion after 9 months'Donald Trump, now already 78 years old, again claimed that in Democratically governed states abortions occur in the ninth month of pregnancy. Trump spoke the following words, “A Democratic governor said, ‘The baby will be born, and we will decide then.’ In other words, we will then execute the baby,” it sounded. But that would amount to infanticide, and that, of course, is illegal in all 50 U.S. states. Less than one percent of abortions in the U.S. are performed after 21 weeks of pregnancy, and this is almost always done in medical emergencies or in cases of fetal abnormalities. So Trump's words do not add up. 'Crime increased under Biden'Trump claimed that crime in the U.S. “increased tremendously” during Joe Biden's presidency. But that too turns out to be untrue. On the contrary! Crime actually decreased during Biden's presidency. Indeed, data from the FBI show that violent crime peaked during the 2020 corona pandemic (under Trump), and continued to decline steadily thereafter. The number of violent crimes fell 6 percent in 2023, and another 15 percent in the first quarter of 2024. 'Immigrants are taking over our cities'Trump habitually made populist statements about immigration several times during the debate. For example, he said that illegal immigrants are “taking over our cities” and “committing violence there,” but in reality, crime is falling in the United States, and illegal immigrants are actually committing fewer crimes than average.

He was unhinged! Harris on the other hand stayed cool, and didn't stray from her well rehearsed lines.
It was a hard watch though, seeing such childish behaviour on show

It was a hard watch though, seeing such childish behaviour on show For those of us looking on from outside of America, it's hard to believe that a childish Narcissist like Trump can even be running for public office. However the historian in the video below explains what is happening....it's right out of the Nazi playbook. They made statements that were so outrageous that most Germans didn't believe it. Also, she compares Trump's agenda with Orban's Hungary and the American South up until the 1960s.

No doubt Harris won the debate, she played the part of a prosecutor and had Trump in a defensive mode all night. The moderators assisted, but Trump claiming things like he had won the last election made him look ridiculous. I didn't learn anything about either of them that I didn't already know, they just rehashed the same old b.s... Follow up questions to Harris didn't exist, she said she was going to give every new home buyer $25k, new parents $6k, new businesses $50k, paid maternity leave, child care, college tuition, etc.. I would have liked to know how she intends to pay for all that. Imo, neither of them are going to be good for the country.

If its in the form of a tax credit, its just giving struggling people a tax break to get on the property ladder. I prefer what our government is doing though......figuring out how to reduce compliance costs and pull prices back by having more houses in the market.

They don't get many tax breaks now.. According to the latest data, the top 1 percent of earners in America pay 40.1 percent of federal taxes; the bottom 90 percent pay 28.6 percent, and over 40% of low earners pay no income tax.
Harris is just promising the moon in order to buy votes, that's what typical socialist do.

The fact that both Trump and Tucker Carlson admire Hungary's Orban is a concern in itself.
I don't usually care too much who is in power, knowing that there are sufficient checks and balances in Congress and the Senate. If Trump wins, I would also hope that those around him would keep him in check, provided he doesn't fire them!
Not every politician is 100% bad, and Trump might do some good things. So might Harris.
On balance I would prefer Harris, and if Obama is in her ear a bit, that isn't a bad thing, as he proved to be a moderate, albeit a cautious one.
I love the latest conspiracy theory doing the rounds regarding Harris' earrings. These suckers will glob onto any conspiracy theory! (Theory that her earrings were transmitting devices allowing someone to be in her ear during the debate)

Trump has not promised me anything? No special programs or free money? He supports some Christian values such as limits on late term abortions and such, but its his economic policies that I prefer over Harris's.
Neither candidate is going to balance the budget, they will continue piling on debt until the USD erodes in value like the currencies in Zimbabwe & Argentina. Neither of them know what caused inflation, so neither has the brains to fix the problem.

A balanced budget is not necessarily a good thing AT ALL. But that's a macroeconomic matter poorly understood by too many people.
