It IS a bold move for Harris.

A battle of the wits.

FOX will triple their viewers with this one.

Open store fronts are an easy target.

I think I would have considered a 5th floor location with only elevator access.

TOR

Interesting enough to keep hidden.

But I think the media has already exposed Vance's juxtaposition about Trump.

So, was he lying then or is he lying now?

You can always tell which state is Trump's current threat.

CLOWN

"He who controls the narrative, controls the nation."

This dastardly scheme goes way past Twitter.

The worst will come when Trump appoints Musk as the Director of the FCC.

Then we'll be able to look back to now (2024) as the good 'ol days when we had freedom of the press.

DANNI

Hold that thought. But the Secret Service won't let Trump play golf any more. No need to explain. I think we all know why.

Besides, LEGALLY

Do you really want a coat-tail hanger like J.D. Vance as America's new dictator-by-default?

"Trump still seething over Obama's Nobel Prize."

LOL ~ he'll take that to his grave.

ALTERNATEFACTS

Just keep hitting that killfile option. It's free and effortless.

LEGALLY

That's not the American way. We don't even imprison our defrocked politicians. We just destroy them emotionally, physically and financially and then let them waste away in obscurity, powerless and irrelevant.

To someone like Donald Trump that would be unbearable ~ worse even than prison ~ three hots and a cot and still have a platform from which to bloviate about his victimhood.

No, I don't want to see him killed except by old age and whatever bugs are eating his brain. The torture of obscurity must come first.

To someone like Donald Trump that would be unbearable ~ worse even than prison ~ where he would have three hots and a cot and still have a platform from which to bloviate about his victimhood ~ and perhaps even get released.

No, I don't want to see him killed except by old age and whatever neurological malfunctions are eating his brain.

The torture of obscurity and irrelevancy must come first.

@#13 ... Why is a multiple convicted felon getting any police or secret service protection? ...

Because, in spite of his legal entanglements, he's still a legitimate candidate and there's probably a couple hundred people out there trying to figure out how to kill him without getting caught.

That's just typical Trump on stage killing time with his super-duper intellectual "weave."

It's like a jigsaw puzzle. It's not his fault if nobody is smart enough to figure it out./s

Also

Keep in mind that Trump never intended to win this election honestly. His new scheme is to coerce election officials in swing states at the local or district level to refuse to certify a Harris win based on some "trumped" up excuse of suspected irregularities. His scheme is to throw the decision to the House of Representatives which, as I understand the process, is one vote per state.

The last I heard, Trump's scheme doesn't seem to be working. Governors and election officials are balking at violating their own Constitutionally mandated election rules. The State of Georgia may be the exception but that's also up in the air.

So, if Trump is just killing time so he doesn't look like Harris already has him whipped, it's possible he already knows his scheme isn't going to work and he's lost the election.

CORKY

I hope Trump receives a "friendly" invitation to retire in Moscow or St. Petersburg ~ whichever city has the tallest buildings with windows.

Trump thinks that he is so hated that he needs U.S. military fighter jets as escorts.

I fail to see the logic behind that. Who does he think is going to try and shoot him down? Especially in the air.

I hope President Biden realizes that Trump's request is just an attention-grabbing scheme to make him look so important that he needs a military escort.

Trump has become the biggest, nastiest, unscrupulous, irresponsible, narcissistic, mentally unstable troll in the country.

I apologize for the redundancy.

Rcade gave us a means to protect ourselves from trolls. It's called Killfile. Use it!

Also, don't feed them. They gorge themselves on attention, knowing that you've at least read their post.

My question is why aren't these religious groups trying to ban vasectomies? (with no exceptions)

My guess is that we'll never see that subject come up.

And she didn't steal it from charity fundraisers either.

Always the eager opportunist, it sounds to me that Majorie Taylor Green has jumped on Trump's death threats carousel.

But meteorologists? Really? Because they laughed at her for saying that the government controlled the weather? (Democrats caused Hurricane Milton, hint, hint)

And because President Biden called her stupid?

And because she wants to be included in Trump's inner sanctum if he wins the election?

Or, maybe President Biden is right. She's just stupid!

AU

The main message I get is that she doesn't have to lie, scheme, cheat, scam, skim, sell political favors or create false impressions to win. She doesn't have to dig up dirt, make threats, destroy careers or use ragtag hooligans as enforcers. She doesn't have to hobnob with or make promises to America's enemies in exchange for campaign chicanery. She doesn't have to use discrimination to create chaos. She doesn't have to use fear of retaliation to get support.

And she's not dodging a multitude of felony and civil indictments for fraud, attempts to overthrow the government and Espionage.

That tells me she'd be the same as a president that she is as a candidate ~ A refreshingly honest broker ~ for a welcome change.

Tied up so he couldn't even try to save himself.

That's cold.

Trump's mind has been taking a lot of side trips for quite a while. It comes with his age.

Trump is going to need more than fawning if he crosses Putin a second time. ~ 2020 and again in 2024.

COMMONOTES

Well, there was that "Apprentice" shindig at Mara-a-Lago. I suspect Vance had holes in both his kneepads that were provided by Peter Thiel.
