Harris admits it: Wants open debate mics
to sting Trump like Pence

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/4/2024 1:01:47 PM

For weeks, the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has argued that the battle for always-on microphones at next week’s debate with former President Donald Trump was so that she could show her prosecutorial chops. Skeptics instead said she was hoping for a replay of the “I’m speaking” moments she had in the 2020 debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence when he interrupted to make a point, an event heralded in liberal media circles as a victory for the Democrat. Now, Harris is admitting the skeptics were right.

So instead of dazzling us with her intelligence, debate skills, and command of the facts she is just pi**ed that she can't use her go to mean girl line "I'm speaking". Wish Trump would say go ahead and then totally ignore her and stick to his issues and shut her down. Yeah, she's speaking but not saying a gd thing.

Kamala has no policy points to make and she can’t truthfully defend Biden’s record in front of someone who knows better. Her team has helpfully signaled what their strategy will be in lieu of having anything intelligent to say.

So Flipper-Flopper was going to be the Dominatrix over 45? But to do that requires both mics not to be muted. Which is against the debate rules. My bet is ABC will just before the actual debate begins will unmute the mics to give FF her chance to put 45 in his place. If 45 has been prepared by Tulsi he will know what to do. Just remain quiet. Always refer to FF as Madame Vice President (tying FF to Biden). Thank MVP every time it is his turn and never be confrontational. When FF refers to Stormy Daniels, etal., calmy ask her if she has ever talked to Mrs. Willie Brown.

This is ridiculous. She can't even give a simple job interview and the press is complicit. Listened to Trump on Lex Fridman's podcast from yesterday, on YouTube now. Great questions and thoughtful commentary. Over 4 million views. Lex also brought up Joe Rogan and Trump implied he's open to an invitation. Rogan should immediately invite both now. Let her refuse it.

Mike "Benedict Arnold" Pence was a RINO "always play nice" career politician. If she thinks for a second with her 6 working brain cells that Donald Trump is going to "play nice" if she tries to pull a brainless stunt like that in her debates with him, she is about to discover the absolute tsunami of force that Donald Trump is. He doesn't tolerate ignorance or evil -- both of which are 100% of her core being. He is going to destroy her on facts and policies (because she has neither). But if she pulls any stupid stunts, the flood gates are going to open -- and it's going to be so much fun to watch!!!!!

The Labour Party playbook can’t help Harris 0 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 9/5/2024 2:34:15 PM Post Reply
Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly seeking advice from the political strategists behind the Labour Party’s landslide victory in the July U.K. election, but any advice they can offer her is unlikely to improve her electoral prospects. In 2024, the Labour Party won an enormous majority in the House of Commons. In a climate in which liberal parties are losing ground to populist, right-wing parties, the result has been viewed as a road map for left-of-center parties to return to electoral success. One of the chief architects of this campaign was Deborah Mattinson, who had argued that Labour needed to win back its traditional base of voters in the old industrial parts

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is losing his edge on immigration to Vice President Kamala Harris following her recent shift toward the middle on the issue and a drop in illegal immigration at the southern border. In a matter of weeks, Democratic nominee Harris has cut into the former president’s lead on border security and immigration, according to recent polls conducted nationwide that surveyed voters on which candidate was better on the issue. Polling conducted since Harris replaced President Joe Biden a month ago revealed that the candidate whom Republicans have decried as an ineffective “border czar” has the backing of a growing share of voters

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump said Thursday he would create a government efficiency commission to audit the entire federal government, an idea suggested by billionaire Elon Musk, who would lead it. The commission is the latest attention-grabbing alliance between Trump and Musk, who leads companies including Tesla and SpaceX and has become an increasingly vocal supporter of Trump’s bid to return to the White House. The Republican presidential nominee, speaking to the Economic Club of New York, claimed that in 2022, “fraud and improper payments alone cost taxpayers an estimated hundreds of billions of dollars.” He said the commission would recommend “drastic reforms” and develop

An indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges that a Russian state-controlled media outlet financed a Tennessee company. The indicitment doesn't name the company, but a description of the firm matches the online content creation company Tenet Media. The indictment accuses two Russian nationals, employed by Kremlin-operated media outlet Russia Today, of funneling nearly $10 million to covertly fund and direct the Tennessee company. Here's what we know about Tenet Media and its possible connection with the accusations laid out in the indictment. What is Tenet Media? On its website, Tenet Media describes itself as "a network of heterodox commentators that focus on Western political and cultural issues."

A teenager accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Barrow County was previously investigated for threats about a shooting, the FBI Atlanta office said late Wednesday. Colt Gray, 14, was charged with murder after Wednesday’s shooting, according to investigators. He was not charged after an investigation last year. In May 2023, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous tips about threats to commit a school shooting made on an online gaming site, the FBI and Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The threats didn’t identify a school or when it would happen, but they contained pictures of guns.

BARROW COUNTY, Ga. — Four people were killed and nine others were sent to the hospital after a shooting at Apalachee High School on Wednesday morning. During a news conference on Wednesday afternoon, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation identified the shooter as 14-year-old Colt Gray. Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith says that a school resource officer engaged Gray shortly after shots were fired. Gray then got on the ground, surrendered and was taken into custody. Smith says that Gray realized that if he did not give himself up, he would have been shot. They say Gray has been interviewed by sheriff’s office investigators and the GBI.

According to the latest RealClearPolitics national average, Kamala Harris has a 1.8-point lead. Democrats are no doubt thrilled about this, but they really shouldn't be. Harris is running way behind both Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton at this point in the 2020 and 2016 elections. But I'm here to talk about Nate Silver's latest forecast. In the previous forecast I reported on, from August 31, Donald Trump held a 53.1% chance of winning the Electoral College, while Harris trailed with 46.6%. This was because Trump maintained the advantage in key swing states, with the odds showing him with a 52-48% edge in the most important swing state: Pennsylvania.

In a recent and now widely seen Tucker Carlson interview, a guest historian named Darryl Cooper casually presented a surprising number of flawed theories about World War II. He focused his misstatements on the respective roles of Winston Churchill’s Britain and Adolf Hitler’s Germany—especially in matters of the treatment and fate of Russian prisoners, the Holocaust, the systematic slaughtering of Jews, strategic bombing, and the nature of Winston Churchill. Because of the size of the audience Carlson introduced him to, and because of the gravity of Cooper’s falsehoods, his assertions deserve a response.
