Nobody else completely and utterly depressed by the excitement some have over Kamala Harris? Is being better than Trump enough for Americans now? The bar is that low that all you need to be is someone not called Donald Trump. If you're ashamed of what is happening in Palestine right now and Harris excites you... then you're not one bit ashamed. You're complicit. The saddest thing about it all is I genuinely believe there is more chance of peace in at least one of these wars anytime soon under Trump than under Harris. That's not me supporting Trump (can't stand him) but it emphasises how much a warmonger Harris and the Democrats are. I voted uncommitted in the primary, and I’d have voted uncommitted if it were Harris running unopposed (or against a couple cranks) as well. The Democratic Party has been pushed meaningfully to the left on a bunch of important issues, but certainly not this, and that’s shameful. A lot of the excitement is coming from people who are just happy to have a sentient candidate who isn’t underwater in the polls, and I get that, but it’s no reason to give her a pass on this stance. I agree that peace is more likely to come sooner under Trump, but that’s because he’d let Putin and Netanyahu do whatever the hell they wanted. (Even more than Biden is doing with Netanyahu right now.) Trump is pretty clearly supportive of the mass slaughter of innocents by "strongmen". He changed the US rules of engagement to allow more civilian death and encouraged and pardoned American war criminals. I know less about Israel-Palestine but it seems like if you want more dead Palestinians then you go Trump. If you want fewer then you go Harris. Or you can not vote which helps Trump.

Looks like prp-Trump judges in the North Carolina supreme court threw him a big bone - likely cutting early voting because of issued with RFK Jr. Rammed through 4-3 by 4 republican judges, probably because they expect North Carolina's early voting to be more for Democrats. NC republicans have worked hard to change the rules and make it harder for likely Democrats to vote - stacking elections in Republicans' favour already. He's got the federal supreme court too. His pets on SCOTUS should recuse themselves from cases to protect him, but they haven't yet.

"On Friday, three schools in Springfield were evacuated due to bomb threats. At least one of the threats made disparaging comments about Haitians, according to Springfield Mayor Bob Rue." From the BBC. Hopefully the Trump people don't hurt or kill anyone.

Trump was asked whether he was considering a visit to the town during a press conference at his golf course in Los Angeles on Friday.
"I can say this, we will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio – large deportations. We're going to get these people out. We're bringing them back to Venezuela," he said.
The migrants in Springfield are mostly from Haiti, and have legal permission to be in the US under a federal programme for Haitians.
It was not immediately clear why Trump mentioned Venezuela. Although throughout his remarks he made references to an influx of Venezuelan migrants to Aurora, Colorado, and said deportations would also begin there if he won the presidential election in November.
On Friday, Ohio Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted posted a photo online of two migratory Canadian geese. "Most Americans agree that these migrants should be deported," he said.

Yeah but, he tells it like it is 🙄 He does indeed 😀 They fact checked his proclamations from the Biden debate, a full 10% of what he said wasn't absolute bollocks 😄 Just incredible that people get taken in 🤔 Edit - my mate's son said that exact phrase to me a few weeks ago about Trump 😳

There is no more damning indictment of a person’s character than “he says what he means”.
It’s exclusively used to describe people who are morally bankrupt.

Anybody who specifically backs him or anybody who votes republican? (If there’s a difference) Not sure I see a difference tbh Lots of conservatives didn't vote for him in 2016 but will now because, despite the crazy statements and mean tweets, his administration was pretty moderate in policy. In fact if it weren't for his mental fame and personality, it would have been an unremarkable presidency. If you're a fan of Ron Desantis or Nikki Haley you would probably still vote Trump because his administration will be a closer match to your values. The Democrat ticket is nowhere near the centre either, it's not like voting for Bill Clinton. Anyway, demonizing anyone who might not vote the same way is partly why we ended up with Trump in the first place. Dems decided to do a number on Mitt Romney in 2012 and in 2016 they got Trump

Yeah but, he tells it like it is 🙄 I am now convinced he just says anything his ego tells him to and if he ever had a filter, he's made some deep brained decision to ignore it. He's the absolute definition of a sociopathic narcissist.

Nothing could have followed Trump’s “In Springfield” nonsense more perfectly than a “what are you talking about?” from Steve and Ricky.

It's like a shit early nineties PG-rated comedy where an eight-year-old wakes up one morning in the body of a notorious mob boss. Meanwhile, an amusing lack of self-awareness from JD Vance: "We admire Taylor Swift’s music, but I don’t think most Americans, whether they like her music or are fans of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans.” www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/whoopi-goldberg-jd-vance-taylor-swift-b2612254.html

Surely some enterprising t-shirt manufacturer will be knocking t-shirts out with a picture of his face and something like 'They're eating our pets!' next to it 😄 And if the Democrats don't put his head on top of a chickens body with a reference to his sudden U-turn on wanting 3 debates and plaster it all over billboards near his gaff in Florida they're missing a trick 😀

I am 100% voting for her and doing everything I can to get everyone I can to do so in the general election. The people who are sitting out over this drive me insane. But I wouldn’t have voted for her in an uncontested or barely contested primary. Put another way: she’s far from my dream candidate. But she’s who we’ve got, and so I’ve got no choice but to be all-in on her.

It's also funny how often people use liar about Trump. He is, of course, but let's compare to his opposition. Harris had a relationship with a married man 30 years older than her, someone who just so happened to help her career along. Her sitcom dad husband had to divorce his first wife because he impregnated the nanny! By using the word liar constantly about Trump, the implication is that the alternative is honest and decent

I've been well critical of Harris on here. Politics isn't like a football match where you are expected to align yourself to a particular candidate, regardless of what they do.

I've been well critical of Harris on here. Politics isn't like a football match where you are expected to align yourself to a particular candidate, regardless of what they do. 'Anybody who votes for him' or Farage 'has a problem'. When asked for clarification about whether you meant just the real Trump fans or anyone who votes Republican, you said all of them, it makes no difference. So if someone is extremely racist there's a high chance they vote for Trump or Farage, I would agree, but they aren't the only voters and in general people are motivated by a huge range of factors. Just for fun I'll go with your football analogy for a minute: I hated watching stoke under Pulis. I watched less games on average when he was manager and I moaned a lot more. I was still a Stoke fan though. Some Stoke fans worshipped him as a God but he wasn't for me. I guess a lot of Republicans feel that way about Trump 😂 they both love the baseball caps too, by the way! And I bet there's a few on here that would love to make scfc great again
