Yes, that's another aspect of being pro-life. Trump believed all the lies that the vaccines were safety-tested, that they were 100% effective against COVID-19, and, most egregiously, that he was responsible for the success of getting the vaccines out through "Operation Warp Speed." He gambled with the lives of desperate Americans, and like you've said, to this day, he prides himself in getting the vaccines pushed through.

Yes, I know that Trump has done way more public engagement than Kamala. My point is Trump was outsmarted by a really stupid candidate because he allowed his own ego to get the best of him and fell into her traps. And it's his ego which will be his undoing, just as his ego kept him from being judged by Republican Primary voters in his refusal to participate in those debates.

It's a single issue which is connected to a network of other positions. That single issue is pro-life. To be pro-life means that you care for the preservation of innocent life both inside and outside of the womb, and that incorporates the prohibition of conflicts and wars which will lead to the unnecessary, if not, unethical, termination of civilians who have nothing to do with posing a national threat. It has been shown countless times that the nation-state of Israel is using certain events to justify a campaign of genocide towards an ethnic/national group of people who are not terrorists. As a Christian, I'm against any candidate who will support another nation killing my people (that is, Palestinian Christians) for political and religious reasons. Trump's unadulterated support of Israel offsets his commitment to end the conflict over in Ukraine and Russia, even if he claims, "I just want the dying to stop." He wants to stop the killing of Ukrainian and Russian lives, but he's okay with Palestinians (and even Israelis) being killed because "Israel needs to be feared by her enemies again." Therefore, as a "sInGlE-iSsUe VoTeR," I feel justified in not supporting Trump at all, and I'm sick and tired of people like you trying to justify "voting for the lesser of two evils."

Absolutely. It would've been worse than January 6, which was worse than 9/11.

I wonder if this is true. It would explain a lot.

Call it "poetic justice." Trump dodged all of the Republican Primary debates, because he was so proud that he had a commanding lead with Republican voters (in the polls and in the eyes of the mainstream media), and he felt that Republican voters didn't need to hear his positions challenged and scrutinized with the other candidates. Now he lost what is probably his last debate to a candidate who, like him, dodged the public, flying high on the polls and favor of the mainstream media and would-be voters. Trump is an arrogant person whose ego got the best of him against a woman who memorized her script and played him by leading him into all the traps that Trump's persona couldn't help.

I'm against Zionism, not Israel because, theologically speaking, the Church is Israel (those who are covenantally united to Christ by faith and through baptism). So I am pro-Israel, in the Biblical sense of the word, not in the nation-state sense of a country which is Atheistic in its entire ethics, civics, etc.

If you're voting for Trump, then don't complain about the conflicts in the Middle East and Israel's campaign to wipe out an entire demographic due to their ethnicity. Trump is a staunch supporter of aiding Israel in all of her military campaigns.

They didn’t just collapse, either. They sank into a pile of dust!

As long as Trump thinks actual good policies will draw crowds and cheers, he’s good for us. It’s a sad thing to say, though.

How I wish Vivek or Tulsi had been on that debate stage! They would easily have dismantled Kamala, and one of them had already done so in the 2020 debates. Even so, with moderators like those two, it would be hard for either of them to maintain the upper hand, but I think they would've fared better than Trump did. Trump speaks in generalities and uses grandiose, non-specific statements. It works great at rallies, but it comes across as weak compared to someone like Kamala, even as she name-drops neocons left and right and pretends she has real bipartisan support. I'm not saying Kamala came to this debate prepared and with facts, figures, and statistics in her back pocket, but her general wording and at least pretending to keep the focus on American people who really want the government to wriggle its tentacles into every facet of their lives made her seem personable and more eloquent than we've come to expect from her.

That’s Trump’s fatal flaw: it’s so, so easy to bait him. All you have to do is toss an insult his way and he’ll dodge any questions posed to him in the interest of defending inconsequential things. I would love to see another debate between Tulsi and Kamala; Tulsi isn’t easily baited and sticks to the topics at hand. This felt like a replay of Trump’s first debate against Hillary, which I also thought was poor. His second debate against her was way better for him, but I doubt they’ll allow a rematch between him and Kamala.

I wouldn’t write off the poor (again, not totally his fault) debate performance so glibly. Kamala Harris has assured us all that she has a plan. Who knows what that is, other than causing more inflation by funding first generation home owners and new families, but she assures us she has one.

Did Kamala just say Trump was lying about her saying she would take guns away? Excuse me while I laugh. Why are the moderators only fact-checking Trump?

You give people more credit than I do. Kamala is basically doing this and would be getting the same reaction: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm3d43HLyTI&pp=ygUWZmFtaWx5IGd1eSA5LzExIGRlYmF0ZQ%3D%3D

I can’t help but think Trump is struggling here. Not totally his fault, as the moderators aren’t even pretending to be unbiased, but the one thing Kamala is doing that will probably resonate with the audience (even if she has no plans or statistics to back up her words) is that she’s constantly trying to make it about the people and the Constitution instead of about herself. When they mentioned Trump’s staff ‘quitting’, he really should’ve turned it on its head by bringing up the fact that her own staff has quit, citing that Harris is impossible to work for. If Harris wants to lift people up, why not start with her own staff? It’s so easy to knock her down without constantly using immigration as a whataboutism, yet he continues to do so and didn’t even bring up why he ‘killed’ the bill to put more troops on the border. It’s so easy, but the moderators know what flusters him and that Trump always speaks in generalities and grandiose terms. Kudos to whoever managed to make Kamala not sound like a meme generator, though.

Well, how long did Colorado deny that Venezuelan gangs were taking over apartment complexes?

So, this is apparently a conspiracy theory now: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baseless-claim-haiti-immigrants-cats-springfield-ohio/ https://www.npr.org/2024/09/10/nx-s1-5107320/jd-vance-springfield-ohio-haitians-pets https://www.axios.com/2024/09/10/jd-vance-trump-conspiracy-haitian-immigrants-cats

I smell mold on a lot of cannabis type products. I won't smoke it if it smells like mold. I have noticed the smell of mold on pot for about 25 years I quit smoking it for a long time because of it. I just smoke a little hemp occasionally to relax.I found a supplier that does a good job of keeping the mold out of their product. I think a lot of people don't know what mold smells like on cannabis Like I said I have smelled a lot of mold I have walked into stores that are opening the jar for someone else and I am not that close to the jar and smell the mold on it. A lot of people seem to be okay with it but I am not.

What if the deal was Trump would allow Ron to end the FED?

Yea well there are a lot of stupid people for sure.

so if it was sold for 25 cents a pill whoever is selling it would 800% profit. Instead people who are trying to make us think that they are being benevolent are sell it10,00% profit or more. Which makes me think they are thinking more about their wallet than the health of as many people that they can reach. To me the only way to get rid of the disease is to make as many people well as possible in the shortest amount of time possible. I am all for anyone selling a product to make money for sure I am. If what you say is true about the wholesale price then I hope that someone who can get it will put it out there for people who cannot afford the price. All these cities giving away free clean needles ought to be giving doses of ivermectin. Because probably many people who are homeless are probably so eaten up with parasites that they can't think right even if they tried. I know I know nobody wants us to be well they only want mo money. pluck you Dr. Peter McCullough

As a person with a very sensitive sense of smell I haven't ever been around any pot smoke that smelled like cat piss. I have smelled some stuff called skunk weed but I would not smoke it. I don't smoke it if it makes me cough on the first hit. Some people think that if it makes you cough that means it is good. I think it means that your body is saying I don't want this it is hurting me...A lot of people are kinda hell bent on destroying themselves.

I agree that it is a really good medicine that should be in everyone's home. It is safe for people who are not idiots. But as one who has bought it in both animal and human for I can tell you that the human version is not cheap at least not in any place I can find it. I have kept horse paste around for years to give to my dogs. I never thought about taking it myself until this covid stuff hit. I then bought 100 12 mg pills from ivermectin.com for $120 that I cut in 4 pieces and took once a week.I gave some to a few other people who wanted it. I was going to order more from them but they changed their policy to force people to create an account at some social media site and then do all this other stuff that made no sense to me. i have seen other sites selling 30 pills in 3mg doses for $120 + you have to fill out a form and pay a consultation fee of $120 to me that does not seem to be a reasonable price when in other countries you can buy the same amount for under $1 per pill otc. I don't think someone should have to go thru so much rigamaroll to get it. it ought to be available to anyone especially since Bill Gates is releasing infected mosquitoes into the USA. It is good and safe but it ain't cheap but I do think everyone ought to find away to have it available in whatever form they can afford. Canine heart worm medicine also has it in it as well.

I’m on mobile and can’t see a way to add quotes or links. Article: A new Department of Justice indictment unsealed on Wednesday accuses a Tennessee-based content company with several high profile right-wing personalities on its roster of being part of a Russian influence operation, working to infiltrate U.S. media with the Kremlin’s propaganda. The indictment does not identify the company by name, “but descriptions in the indictment match those of Tennessee-based Tenet Media,” reported The Tennessean.

Trump made hemp legal that is enough for me. Looks like the cartels are into fentanyl now after the loss in marijuana market.

I think it is wrong for governments to censor the press. I think any media should be able to say whatever they want. Any company has a right to say what they want. The day I realized I was being censored by facebook I closed my account. They are dead to me. They started censoring me years before Trump. RPF is the only social media that does not censor me. People all the time ask me to FB them I say I don't do facebook. There are a lot of people who don't use it. Sometimes I get mad when someone here post a fb link bit I realize that even Ron Paul supporters do FB. I just don't do it.

Being from Minnesota, I wonder if I’ll see the day the Twin Cities doesn’t vote blue.
