“I hope that you will forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse — all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said.

Pundits are unclear on how long would be appropriate to speak about a golfer's genitals. But there seems to be consensus that 12 minutes is too long.

 
 

On one hand, the Democrats have a history of managing the economy correctly with moderate fiscal responsibility, maintaining social services, and pushing back on corporate excesses and warmongering. The last time we had a balanced budget was Clinton's.

On the other hand, Republicans claim they are better for the economy, although they are the ones that constantly crash it, do the most to worsen the debt and deficits, and take away living standards for the average American.

So who's better for the economy? It's so hard to tell.

As stupid as that sounds for him, what's even worse for me is that he is trying to make the case that all immigration in America is essentially criminals and insane asylum monsters. Even when he knows full well he himself married several immigrants, he comes from immigrant families, his kids have immigrant mothers, and so on.

He's trying to tell a nation built by immigrants that immigrants are all criminals and monsters.

During his Wednesday rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump appeared to explain why he keeps praising the character, saying it was because they are "real stories."

"They go crazy when I say the late, great Hannibal Lecter. They say, 'Why would he mention Hannibal Lecter? He must be cognitively in trouble.' No. These are real stories. Hannibal Lecter from 'Silence of the Lamb,' is a lovely man. He wants to have you for dinner," he said.

JD Vance said he was able to cure himself of couch chlamydia using a home remedy he invented that involved tree sap and some indian spices he found in his wife's kitchen spice rack.

When he was then spotted showing couch chlamydia symptoms, he claimed that he got reinfected a second time, but this time it was from Democrat secret agents that infected him for political persecution.

Dear America, Please stop trying to shoot Donald Trump. He's got like 100 years of prison coming up in 2025. If you shoot him you make him a martyr and deny us the long crushing process of justice.

It's Trump. Here is another angle https://news.sky.com/story/laura-loomer-the-far-right-conspiracy-theorist-seen-with-donald-trump-13214428

It seems the lighting was bad in that room and the media were a bit far back, because most of the shots I see online are low quality and zoomed in.

Trump is such a clown that when he speaks the internet is left talking about how he sounds like an angry idiot toddler. But he ends up getting a pass on his asinine policies because we are too busy talking about the insane stuff like "eating dogs" and him choosing to be Putin's bitch.

Let's not forget that his vision for "the economy" is also BS. His policy ideas are all bankrupt. The health care plan is not coming in 2 weeks. His administration inflicted on America's budget the most insane deficit and debt of any single presidential term: https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump

His ideas on tariffs are insane and debunked by serious economists. The whole thing is bananas. His plan for tariffs would hurt American workers. And in typical GOP fashion, the pain hits harder on the working class.

For anyone that wants to read a real economics analysis, here is a detailed study from the Peterson Institute for International Economics,
