i work 7 hour days. two every two weeks. but i am retired. Trump is just lazy and incompetent. and he thinks he has better things to do. like talking about sharks and windmills and Hannibal Lechter.

"I can claim all those things but Harris is only allowed to claim one thing." Hmmm. White privilege?

I don't like what Trump said, however there is a difference between race and ethnicity. Chris Rock had this great bit on bi-racial people ... that they were upgraded to black once they became popular enough. Racially it is black and Asian with the modifier the Asian part is from the country India. But a Q, can my father's side be mixed? Part VW Microbus and part Camry?

Exactly what I thought when I heard Trump and his apologists.

Funny how when racists wanted to keep black people down, any drop of "Negro" blood made you black. Now, Kamala isn't allowed to be black. As Biden says, " Come on, man". Who came up with the terms Quadroon and Octaroon to describe black slaves?

JD Vance credits Trump for prisoner swap Biden negotiatedThe man knows his job. What a perfect tool. Thought I would add: He (Whelan) was arrested in Russia on December 28, 2018 (when Trump was President), and accused of spying. On June 15, 2020 (when Trump was President), he received a 16-year prison sentence. link

this is the same shit he always does. he did it with Warren. he did it with Obama. he even did it with Cruz. questioning the origin of his competitor and forcing them into the "other" column is one of his favourite tactics. it has multiple purposes. one is a dog whistle to racists. another is to distract from his own failures as a person and candidate. we should bring him back to those failures.

It does not matter what this guy says and the minority of those who follow him think IMO. Trump wants to push people down in general because he is not secure in his own head and body. He knows he is not as smart as some in his family, which is why he feels the need to proclaim how smart he is. HIs major talents are marketing and bullying. Oh, and using other people's money to be rich.

The Borowitz Report
Poll: One Hundred Percent of Democrats Support Vance Remaining on TicketWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a welcome piece of good news for the embattled vice-presidential nominee, a new poll released on Thursday shows that a hundred percent of likely Democratic voters favor JD Vance remaining on the GOP ticket. Vance’s strong showing with Democratic voters stands in sharp contrast with his performance among Republicans, only 17 percent of whom support his continuing as nominee. Among those Democrats surveyed, a hundred percent agreed with the statement “JD Vance should receive more airtime” while a hundred percent concurred with the statement “Just let JD be JD.” On the campaign trail, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris echoed her party’s passionate support for Vance. “JD Vance has shown himself to be a very giving person,” she said, “and I want him to keep on giving.” Poll: One Hundred Percent of Democrats Support Vance Remaining on Ticket

As America celebrated the hostages coming home today, Trump bitched that it wasn’t a good deal, and he would have done a better one.
Just can’t be happy that these hostages got to return home, can he.

As America celebrated the hostages coming home today, Trump bitched that it wasn’t a good deal, and he would have done a better one. Just can’t be happy that these hostages got to return home, can he. Last night I watched a video clip of him claiming he would get them home on day1 of his Presidency or even right after Nov 5th and that Putin would do this for him. I think he's mad because he loves promising things and not delivering them to get votes. Having be beaten by Biden and his administration makes him mad. He doesn't care about the people stuck in Russia; he just cares about the votes he thought he was getting by spinning that story. I think it might be a good sign that several countries came together to do this deal. Even though I like having reporting from Russia I do hope all American reporters stay away from Russia, at least until Trump loses again and the inauguration happens.

I think Trump doesn't know the difference between political prisoners and people who are kidnapped for ransom.

The Borowitz Report
Biden Offered Russian Agent as Part of Prisoner SwapWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—President Biden offered Vladimir Putin a prominent Russian agent as part of the recently concluded prisoner exchange, the White House confirmed on Friday. The agent in question began operating on American soil in 2015, tasked with undermining democracy and flooding the media with disinformation. Putin reportedly turned down the agent, whom Moscow deems of no future use. “The agent used to be a valuable source of information for the Kremlin,” one Russian intelligence source said. “But in recent years, his messages have become garbled and impossible to decipher.” Biden Offered Russian Agent as Part of Prisoner Swap

Will read later Tenn. Russia wants its assets here on American soil to do what they do. I think if anything they are just adding to their collection. They had Trump and recently courted Tucker Carlson. But they feel it's not enough so it's possible they have Hulk Hogan and JD Vance as part of the collective.
I think Putin might be as with it as Trump at this point which is a scary thing for us all.
I think, but do not know for certain, that Trump was put into play to counteract the popularity of Regan back in the day. Trump even though he was elected once, was never that popular and never will be.

No, but marketing and tests have taught us that after the fifth time it is heard, some will believe simply because they heard Blah so often.

“Nobody’s ever called me weird,” Trump confidently declared. “
(I thought he read the newspapers and watched the news and late-night TV shows) Is he a clone? Can he prove he has been alive since 2015/2016?

Well, if that's a Trump rally I would say, "Everywhere!"
