I'd be really interested to hear more about this criticism when one of her former high level aides appears at the RNC to talk about her being a clear and present danger to democracy. But as it stands, yeah. She really is bringing Republicans and Democrats together. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/former-trump-official-stephanie-grisham-speak-democratic-convention-rcna167296 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi airdvr, Let me see if I have this correct: You think a random YouTube is going to derail her quest for the Presidency? Why don't you just say what you really mean: You are a Trump supporter without the guts to say it out loud. Now, how about those YouTubes on Trump . . .

Jerry Baumchen To point out that Harris is an unmitigated disaster is not to say that Trump is any better. I am convinced that having Harris in the oval office might provide the Republicans the opportunity to detox from Trump, since there is no way he can run in 2028. Will they make good use of the opportunity? I suspect not. My concern is that the damage that Harris will do is likely unrecoverable. We are already past the tipping point economically, and the question is not so much if as when and how bad. With Harris at the helm, the answer is sooner than later, and very, very bad. I wish I was wrong. It's been fun while it lasted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forced abortions, free money for not working, 2 hours a day of mandatory giggling classes, and all children will be required to share their lunches at school.

The only thing limiting anyone is they must be 35 or older & can only serve a total of 10 yrs.

How about casting the tie breaker vote(s) on two trillion dollars of deficit spending, resulting in a 20% increase in prices in just three years. That is the equivalent of a massive regressive tax that hurts all Americans especially the poor. A money party is fun while it lasts but the hangover is atrocious and long lasting.

Like this” “That is: The US did a lot more stimulus than these other countries, and now it’s seeing a lot more core inflation. And the stimulus that most stands out is Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan — because it was enacted after more than $3 trillion had already been spent to stimulate the economy under Trump, with one big chunk of that being approved just three months prior. “We put gasoline on the fire.
