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.

I'm about 1 minutes in and.....he said that the media said Joe Biden won the debate? In 2024? Ummmm....no. I don't recall a single media outlet saying Joe Biden won the debate. In fact what I remember directly after that debate is a steady and growing stream of people demanding Joe Biden drop out of the race in order to "Save our democracy." The spin was "Biden may have lost a step...or two...or three....but..but..but...Trump's just lying!" That said, Kamala did seem to be serving up a lot of bathtub washed word salad.

When it comes to influence and exerting power over the west I don't think they compare. But I do see your point on China. But we consider them enemies.

No disagreement there. That said, why keep creating our own problems? The Venezuela migrant crisis is also the direct result of U.S. foreign policy including the policy of Trump.

That's a hoot. I'm not sure there is a country on earth other than the US where more people have a legitimate grievance that jackboot thuggery is alive and well other than Israel. As a matter of fact I'd argue people aren't nearly deranged enough with what Israel does. But Ok Boomer....

And that wasn't the first time the U.S. destabilized Haiti either.

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.

Just to be clear his son was killed in a car wreck, not a gun shootout. The issue is is that immigrant wasn't licensed. Yeah, I get it. If he wasn't here the man's son would still be alive. As for the gang violence, American DEA informants killed Haiti's president and the place has bee chaos ever since. Imagine how the U.S would be right now if Trump hadn't turned his head at that right moment?

Indirectly, 9/11 brought me here.

I haven't seen a single person in this thread argue for a Kamala Harris win. That said... God grant me the courage to change the things I can change....the serenity to accept the things I can't change...and the wisdom to know the difference. I will sleep like a baby on November 5th.

Sounds like he tried but went too far: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdxl15ppvzgo Trump reiterated that he supports exceptions for cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at risk. At one point Trump claimed that some babies were being subjected to “executions” after birth. One of the ABC moderators interceded to fact-check him, saying: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.” That is an unproven claim that I've tried to verify for years. And that's were people get into trouble, missing the opportunity to do a layup while going for a 360 slam dunk. Here's the layup. Washington DC's abortion law: https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/code/titles/7/chapters/20D The District shall recognize the right of every individual who becomes pregnant to decide whether to carry a pregnancy to term, to give birth, or to have an abortion.

Trump offered to shake Kamala's hand and she accepted with her typical smirk. According to the BBC It was the first handshake in a presidential debate in eight years. How long before hand shaking is declared sexist or racist? Biggest lie I saw from the highlights. (Again, didn't watch the debate).

Meh....I'm not nearly as bothered by the "voting / not voting" cultists as I am by the "My preferred candidate is Jesus and the other guy is Satan" cultists and sadly I end up interacting with both. "Trump went against abortion and God is guiding him hallelujah! How dare you compare him to Kamala or Biden" versus "Trump is a womanizer (true) and convicted rapist (not really)! How dare you compare him to Kamala or Biden?" With the former group, bring up that Trump said he doesn't even apologize to God and they lose their minds. With the latter bring up Bill Clinton's infidelity, Joe Biden's rape accusation and Kamala Harris being the other woman, and they lose their minds. I shouldn't say lose because part of their minds may be gone already. This is all I know. I will sleep like a baby on the night of November 5th knowing I haven't voted for the next despot to further destroy the Republic. For those who go out and vote enjoy! I slept fine the past few election cycles knowing that my 3rd party candidate wouldn't win anyway, but this year I'm like "meh." RFK Jr. lost me with his full throated support of Israel. I disagree with Jill Stein and Cornell West on economics (though I'm encouraging my liberal friends who don't like Kamala to vote for one of them), the libertarian candidate sounds like a fruitcake, and the Constitutionalist candidate is too hard core on abortion for me. I could "write in Ron Paul" but that won't even count. So I'm staying home.

I doubt that anybody on planet earth didn't think Taylor Swift had already endorsed Kamala Harris. Mandela effect for sure.

So...I didn't watch the debate. But ^3 minutes in to that he's talking about "Maybe Kamala was fed the questions?" Ummm....okay. We know Hillary was fed the questions for debating Bernie which means she was probably fed the questions for debating Trump. Personally....I think the questions should be posted online for everybody a week before the debate. And if you want spontenaity, let each candidate bring to the debate some additional questions of their own. In the famous "Lincoln / Douglas debates" there was no national medial to provide questions. It was strictly what the two candidates said to and asked of each other. The Candace Owens / Rabbie Schmuley debate was a real debate for example.

In 2016 Trump lost the 1st debate against Hillary by being nice. In the second debate he crushed her by bringing the women Bill Clinton messed over.

This was a GOP passed bill that actually makes abstentee voting harder than it was under COVID. https://www.wispolitics.com/2023/bill-requiring-application-to-claim-indefinitely-confined-status-for-voting-headed-to-evers/ Voters seeking to claim indefinitely confined status would now have to apply for the designation rather than simply signing a statement under legislation the Senate approved. The bill, which now heads to Gov. Tony Evers, was born out of GOP complaints over the number of people who claimed indefinitely confined status during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a Legislative Audit Bureau review of the 2020 election, 220,404 voters claimed that status for the November election that year. That includes 169,901 individuals who claimed that status for the first time in 2020. It passed 22-11 Tuesday along party lines.

Wrong. That's all that I"m talking about. How many actual prosecutions can actually be brought by a Trump appointed prosecutor in a very red state where the AG is eager to prosecute as many illegal immigrants as possible. Those are actual facts. So far the answer is one. There maybe more. If there is I'll post them. If you were actually looking for the facts you would have done this for me and I wouldn't have had to do it. I mean, you do want these people prosecuted right? And as for your nebulous claim of "the government" the Albama AG that put toghether the 3,000 "alien voting list" that you're quoting from is part of "the government." And guess what part of his job is? That's right. Recommending people for prosecution! So...you accept facts from "the government" when they agree with you and reject facts from "the government" when they don't or when you think that they don't. That's called mental gymnastics. As the AG of Alabama he has more local resources available to actually get to the bottom of how many of these 3,000+ voters are illegally voting than the federal prosecutor. He is clearly interested in this. Why do a press release about the 3,000 potentially illegal immigrant voters if you have no plan to pursue the issue? Nobody wants egg on their face. So far he's come up with 1 illegal voter and there's been 1 false positive.

And.......that video has now been taken down.

Can't wait to see the Polymarket Presidential poll after this clown show tonight. I'm actually really excited to see these debates. We are living in the greatest show on earth.... :D

My introduction to James Earl Jones. You old African! I've found you! The second movie I saw him in.

Although I never met him myself he was a super nice guy I'm told. Great actor. And from the same town in rural Mississippi as some of my family.

That and in a way it doesn't matter who's president, democrat or republican, because they don't actually run anything. Kind of the opposite point PAF seems to think was being made. Glenn Greenwald isn't close to being a republican.
