Pretty much if you just admit you’re an idiot, you’re good these days. Might even get yourself a needed hug to calm down.

Very disappointing, but he’s proven to be a balanced and good judge. Hopefully he punishes Trump appropriately.

A sentencing during a possible attempt to claim a non existent victory might be just the thing to save a lot of trouble.

Trump has definitely upped the intimidation and is now directly following Mugabe and other dictators. His escalation of threats that ‘everyone’ involved in election fraud will be jailed and punished severely is intended to scare off election volunteers and silence them. It’s a real pity that he hasn’t been held accountable.

Preview of the upcoming debate 

[ryoder 1,556]

In a win for the estate of the late Isaac Hayes, a judge has ordered Trump to stop playing “Hold On, I’m Coming” at his rallies. Trump has protested that is the only way he ever gets to hears those words.

I got this from one of the late-night talk show hosts. ;-)

This is quite interesting and not what I expected.

An angry idiot. Doesn’t understand basic voting that it is a ratio. So what if you got 70 Million votes if your opponent gets 80 Million.

My only concern is that Harris is intelligent and uses ‘big words’ and logic and so many people are emotionally driven and don’t relate well with some of the language. Fingers crossed that they are the minority.

I get damned tired of Trump's bullshit about who pays the tariff on imported goods. Either he is too stupid to understand consumers pay it, or he is counting on the public to be that stupid. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say it is the former.

Also, he trotted out that tired old claim that NATO members paid us. No one in NATO pays anyone else. I'll just again assume he is too stupid to understand it.

It's always fun to vent and hope you are wrong.

Hi folks,

As regards tonite's debate, I think these nail it:

In the end, however, it was Trump’s responses and eagerness to take and devour whatever bait Harris set out for him that was the story of the evening.

  the Harris campaign had been coy about whether she would agree to another debate. Almost immediately after this one ended, they called for a second presidential debate before November.

Harris goads Trump into flustered debate performance (bbc.com)

Of course, she wants another shot at him.  IMO she cleaned his clock.  I'd want more also.

It will be interesting if he will agree.

Revenue is irrelevant for this stock. It has zero value if he doesn't get elected. It is the ultimate pay for play scheme if he does get elected. It is the only reason this company exists.

Hi Robert, 

From your link:  Trump fumed, referencing ABC’s corrections during the 105-minute debate

'If you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.'

Looks like it was not only Kamala that rattled him.

Some people just cannot stand being corrected; and, by a woman at that.

Hi folks,

Of all of the crap that Donald Trump is & stands for, this is the one that I will never forgive:  Following the 1989 brutal assault of a New York jogger in Central Park, Trump famously took out full-page ads in the city's major newspapers calling for the return of the death penalty for those responsible

The Central Park Five and Trump, explained : NPR

He still cannot see how he was wrong:  But Tuesday night, Trump said that at the time the five Black and Latino teenagers who were falsely accused of the crime must have “badly hurt a person, killed a person, ultimately.”

It's all about himself & no one else.

To add insult to injury a Black woman. The ketchup must have been flying by the bucketful  last night.

I’m not sure if the US is different to Aus and Uk, but the SAVE act with wanting proof of citizenship with a birth certificate or passport seems like it affects lots of rural republicans. My experience is that generally the less educated don’t have passports and secondly tend to lose documents like birth certificates.
