Why talk about Harris when the real news is about Trump's 'owners' - three billionaires.

#26

The information is from Open Secrets and only goes thru 9/20. That's what the article lists and that's what I noted.

The usual unsubstantiated and lame "whatabout" deflection attempt by that current alias.

You know those Yes-No questions about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs or whether Trump won the 2020 election are simply unconscionable to Strawlighter.

70% of the billion dollars? link?

The call is as bogus as you are (the person on the call is LYING). Danforth spanked you butt all over that thread and you still can't sit down.

Now, if you've never bitched like a 15 year old on her period like most of the left her about huge sums of money pouring into campaigns...then fine.

Geebus Ebs, how long you been here? I'd love to see federal campaigns funded through the government. But that isn't the system we have today is it? If you want a candidate to have a chance to win, they have to be competitive in raising campaign money.

Wanting one thing that isn't, doesn't mean you can't welcome the facts of the system that is, like 70% of Harris' money has come from contributions of $200 or less. THAT'S what is most impressive - the numbers of contributors AND the amount of the total.

Life is seldom binary. Or at least mine isn't and neither is yours. You write about such things all the time.

This alias has been here 6 days and acts like he owns the place. My guess is tomorrow will be his last day.

Democrats have got to be asking themselves if they made the right choice dumping Biden.

That would be the voice of Republicans lamenting Biden's choice, not Democrats. When have Democrats had hundreds of Republicans or former Republicans publicly back their presidential nominee like they have now with Harris? How many times have multiple GOP Vice Presidents spoken out publicly that the Party's nominee is thoroughly unfit for the Office he seeks? How many times have multiple Cabinet members and staff officials of the GOP candidate's former Administration come out for the Democratic nominee, stating that the President they used to work for has no business ever sitting in the Oval Office again?

And how many times have you seen a Democratic presidential nominee go into an openly hostile interview on Republican home base Fox News and when faced with an edited version of a clip meant to undercut the nominee's assertion that the GOP nominee has promised to use US military force against American citizens for simply not agreeing with said GOP nominee, then accurately argued the clip was edited, and then used the GOP nominee's own rhetorical device to confront her questioner by asserting multiple times "YOU and I know the truth is...." to which the GOP-aligned interviewer failed to disagree with even once?

Sure, we Dems are simply torn up that Biden is out and Killer Kamala took his place, bringing in $1 billion in less than 80 days. Can't you see how broken up we are as we watch her continually kick your nominee's - and now his Fox stickman's azzterisks over and over again?

In a combative interview with Fox News, Kamala Harris said in the most emphatic terms to date that, if she wins the election, she would pursue an independent presidency that would not be a repeat of President Joe Biden's nearly four years in office. Harris's declaration comes after she faced criticism over her recent interview on ABC's "The View," in which she could not identify any policy differences she's had with Biden since serving as his vice president.

The interview was possibly the most contentious of Harris's campaign: both she and Baier had something to prove. Fox News' conservative viewership wanted to see a hard-hitting interview while Harris needed to look strong and show the level of authority that Americans expect of a commander-in-chief.

She cited former Trump senior officials who've said he's unfit to serve as president. "I think the American people have concerns about Donald Trump," she said.

She said she wanted to move past "the decade in which we've been burned from the kind of rhetoric that Donald Trump" has used to "divide our country and have Americans literally point fingers at each other."

If Trump is so flawed, why do so many Americans support his candidacy, Baier asked. Does she believe voters are dumb?

"I've never said that," Harris said. Turning back to Trump, she said, "He's the one who tends to demean and belittle the American people."

She mentioned Trump's repeated mention of "the enemy within" that lurks within the U.S. and voiced concern that Trump would use the U.S. military to deal with such nebulous threats.

Baier and Fox News wasn't fooling anyone by treating the sitting Vice President like she was a suspect facing Trump's own prosecutor before the 10s of millions of viewers sure to watch this encounter. No one should question whether Kamala has both the patience and strength to deal with overmatched stickmen trying to dominate her not unlike the way she dominated Trump to his face as she again reminded Baier and the Fox News audience of what former JCS Chairman Gen. Milley had to say about Trump being this nation's greatest danger. By all unbiased accounts, Harris acquitted herself quite well which probably perplexed Fox News viewers (Earth II residents) who'd been assured by Trump and all his mouthpieces that Harris was inarticulate, not intelligent and a very weak person.

Mission Accomplished in demolishing that canard.

FTC Commissioner Lina Khan said in an interview Tuesday that the rule is designed so that if consumers signed up online, they must also be able to cancel on the same website in the same number of steps.

In August, the administration announced it was moving forward on the proposed rule as part of its "Time Is Money" crackdown on a host of consumer-oriented hassles. Khan said the agency now gets around 70 complaints every day related to frustrations around canceling subscriptions - a number she said has increased "dramatically" from just a few years ago.

She described many current cancellation systems, which sometimes feature either unhelpful automated phone systems or endless transfers between agents, as a "doom loop."

"It's this real fundamental frustration and this feeling that there can be this indignity of being a consumer, and that's what we want to address and make right," Khan said. "All people want here is some fairness and some honesty, and that's what this rule will do."

You never disappoint.,

Neither do you. NAFTA wasn't negotiated by Bill Clinton at all.

What a sad waste of your life. Couldn't you be doing something more productive with your time? In other words, be better.

The self-retorting retort strikes again. How can someone be so blinded in projection not to understand every accusation they level is an indictment upon their own lack of contributing anything worthwhile and non-mendacious whatsoever?

I can't view the Atlantic article without signing up.

You don't read that which is posted, so why should I care about your limitations?

Based on available evidence you were either fooled and spreading misinformation

Based on all evidence, you're either a fool, a charlatan, an imbecile, a troll, or all of the above.

I've never gaslighted on any topic at any time, ever. I'm all about the truth here on Earth 1, not the MAGAverse that you inhabit with your tinfoil hat and inability to access some of the most important commentators and historians of our time.

Trump and his minions cannot tell the truth about anything which is why they recoil at being fact checked in real time by those who know the truth and will not let lies stand unopposed.

That is precisely how I roll. My opinions can be as wrong as the next person, but my eyes see clearly. Niccole Wallace played the entire 39 minutes of Trump's musical interlude yesterday on her show that leaves no doubt about the circumstances surrounding him eschewing taking questions from those patiently waiting and instead calling for music to be played while he swayed and jabbed his arms to YMCA, perhaps the gayest song in the history of popular music - a song celebrating "young men" going to and hooking up at the YMCA, a place where women were not allowed to be in the late 70s when the song came out. Many YMCA's had male residences connected to them as a lower cost alternative to hotels and motels for men seeking overnight accomodations. Gay men of the day knew exactly what the song alluded to and celebrated it accordingly.

No one denied that Trump halted his show so that the two audience members could be treated individually as they collapsed from the sheer heat of the venue. But his sing- and dance-along occurred after the people were cared for - and yes again, Ave Maria was played as one person was being looked after. But that was not the case with the other songs and his refusal to actually give the audience what they came there for: Answers to the normal questions town halls are conducted for the candidate to address.

They donate to both.

I meant to singularly reference Musk, not his companies.

Biden didn't do anything regarding Starlink. The FCC pulled the plug due to Musk's Starlink not meeting the contracted standards. That's the only reason why, the same for another company not related to Musk.

Biden cancelled $885 million in government funding to support broadband access in rural communities.

Tesla received no direct money from IRA

I was not referring to the IRA, just government investment in green technology which was directly mentioned.

I always link to source material.*

*Unless the copy is from the linked article to begin with and that usually applies to the first post or direct inferences back to the article's content in subsequent posts.

and your copy paste of text is (as usual) uncredited.

The money will largely go to politically connected green energy ventures, which will kickback a political donation.

Like Elon Musk with Tesla and his space program? Who's receiving 'political donations' from those commondolt?

ALSO made it a point to GO AFTER taxes on tips,

Hey stunod, tips are taxable income not free gifted money. I disagree with Kamala on this and in no universe will Congress ever pass such legislation, especially the GOP contingent. Is there a single Republican anywhere in America running on removing income taxes on tips other than Trump and Vance?

And on tariffs, not a single person has said tariffs are bad or don't belong per se, but for you implicitly. The argument is the tariff structure that Trump is proposing will harm the US and global economy on top of spiking inflation because they don't do what he thinks that they do.

Again, maybe learn something before flying off at the mouth/fingers.

And NO tariffs are not taxes.

Don't blame me because you were misled (again) by this lying Huffpost hit piece.

The piece I quoted is from The Atlantic, not HuffPost. You'd know that if you could read. Keep coming back and proving how illiterate you are. It's great comedy. And of course you also ignored what I stated in the very first post.

I suggest everyone look up both(videos) and just look and listen. That's it. Do yourself a favor if you haven't seen them.

No one needs your insipid gaslighting around here Visiturd. Why don't you go play in traffic and let the adults discuss actual facts instead of fantasy untethered to reality.

What a rube.

Now you know the rest of the story.

That is NOT the rest of the story, it's another lame deflection by Visiturd who obviously can't comprehend written word above the level Trump speaks it.

The event began normally enough, at least by Trump standards, but, after two interruptions for apparent medical emergencies in the audience, Trump lost interest. "Let's just listen to music. Who the hell wants to hear questions?" he said.

I don't know who's more touched in the head, Trump or Visiturd trying to pawn off his stupidity upon unsuspecting readers.

But instead ... ... weed.

It's an emerging LEGAL multi-billion dollar industry that excludes - by law - former users of the product before it became legal, that all studies show were 4 times more likely to face legal repercussions than whites who make up the majority of marijuana users.

Generational wealth is being realized through the legal sale of cannabis products all over America. The focus on this issue is as germane as focus on any other legal industry pioneered by entrepreneurism when an aggrieved community is barred from opportunity because of prior interaction with an acknowledged biased legal system originally instituted to punish blacks and Vietnam War protesters:
