It's beyond laughable that the Democrats, AND HARRIS SPECIFICALLY, hid Biden's mental and physical limitations from the public for 4 full years and now suddenly health and medical records are important to Democrats.

How do you even do this a straight face?

Same thing with the border. For 3.5 years Biden/Harris let the invasion happen, even encouraging it, then right before the election they pretend its important to them.

How do you even do this with a straight face?

The only explanation is Harris thinks the public is stupid enough to fall for it and given what you posted, it obviously works on some.

The president just upholds the laws. Congress writes those laws, and the president signs the laws. But at no point does the president get to make up his or her own laws. If Republicans wanted borders closed, they could have come up with a law to close it. And recently, when Republicans negotiated with Democrats to pass a law to fix the jam at the border, Trump called and told them to kill it. How do you even blame that on Biden and Harris? Oh right, because you're just trolling. Good job.

Anyway, back to the topic of the thread: Soufiehere's thought that it could be VD is an interesting angle on this, and would totally be an embarrassing finding, and might help explain Melania's reluctance to help Donald on the campaign, among other things.

TDS symptoms are known to increase this time of year, every other year.. the media has it bad.. CBS is doctoring Kamala speechs to make her sound less air headed… Martha Raddidtz suggests a handful of apartments in Colorado being taken over by violent gun totting illegal alien gangs is nothing to report about.. another media moron thinks Trump is not healthy enough to be president because he may have high cholesterol. Are these TDS victims deranged because of the disease or did they contract TDS because they were deranged beforehand ? The real disease is the mental disability to comprehend what another 4 years like the last 4 will do to this country. It will be a vague resemblance of where we once stood as the leader of the free world..With all of Trumps mis-steps, they pale in comparison to the brutality that Biden and Harris have allowed to increase on American citizens because of own border policies and the number of deaths from the fentanyl they have allowed the cartels to bring in. Those actions are much more dangerous to our country and our Democracy than anything Trump has said or done..

Maybe try to keep up with the times? Fentanyl deaths leveled off under Biden, after doubling under Trump.

Anyway, The last 3.5 years haven't been bad. We started off badly--with the mess Trump left, mishandling the pandemic, and unemployment is near record lows and the stock market is higher now than any time under Trump. I don't know what things are like where you live, but here in California, restaurants and stores are busy again. We've got crowded freeways, despite our expensive gasoline and electricity. Where's the ruin? Is it because Trump is being prosecuted for his felonies? Are all those immigrants murdering your family? Maybe just taking your job?

In light of Donald Trump's recent, numerous mental slips, Kamala Harris' release of her medical information shines the light on Trump. Recently, 238 doctors signed a letter demanding that Trump release his records.
www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-health-records-doctors-for-harris/

Trump's campaign posted letters from Dr./Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) -- who may be an alcoholic, and who's letters aren't detailed, nor convincing. (The other letter is from a member at Trump's golf club).

So, what do you think Trump is hiding? Trump says he's the healthiest, but he lies a lot! He's objectively overweight and has recently displayed numerous episodes losing focus, and apparently has problems with his complexion and continence, so he wears makeup and diapers. Could that be it, or do you suppose there are issues that are even more grave?

Yea, and what does your critical thinking reveal about the rambling word salads from Kamala. It tells me she doesn’t have a original thought in her head, mostly air..and ignorant statements..

What word salad? The grants for first-time homebuyers is straightforward, as is her plan to not tax tips, which has caps that Trump's plan lacks such limits so that anybody can avoid taxes if they call their income a tip.

Maybe you're upset by her politician answers she gave in interviews, but she only says the high points in speeches and interviews to not bore anybody with details. The Harris campaign put out a policy paper & you can read it here:
kamalaharris.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Policy_Book_Economic-Opportunity.pdf

On the other hand, can you point to anything that shows Trump knows how to do anything beyond commit crimes?


The dope thinks that tariffs mean foreign governments pay us money. He's such an imbecile that he doesn't know that a tariff works like a sales tax--just another cost passed onto the consumer, and Trump thinks he can fund the government with 20%-across-the-board tariffs. It bugs me that Trump just says he'll do stuff like "bring back jobs" and "have Mexico pay for the wall" without saying how he could possibly do it. Unsurprisingly, he failed to deliver any such results back when he was president.

Violent crime went up during the Trump Administration and during the pandemic, while Americans were scrambling for testing supplies, Trump was actually sending those to Vladimir Putin.

Lol… pardon me but I believe the business man that has been successful in helping to build NYC into what is knows much better than you when it comes to tariffs or anything in the executive realm.. Trump knows how tariffs work, and he knows how to manipulate a rouge nation by using tariffs to slow their growth. Tariffs hurt the exporter more than the buyer over here with a few more dollars in taxes for the buyer. It’s the democrats that lack the ability to foresee the results their actions bring.. they are so clueless.
You ask can I point to anything that shows Trump can do anything but commit crimes. .. yes I can, I point to all the people that say they had it better when Trump was president, the working class say they don’t like doing without under Biden and Harris and they are not turning to Harris. No it’s another 4 years like they had under Trump is what they say they want. But I guess you won’t believe those folks either..

Hah, successful in NYC? You mean after not paying hundreds of $millions in taxes? Did you specify NYC so that you could avoid mentioning the casinos and resorts he drove into bankruptcy in New Jersey (not to mention Trump Shuttle, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Ice, Trump Water, Trump Mortgage, etc..) We don't even have a full count of all the vendors he's stiffed over the decades. But that's apparently "success" to you.

He’s gonna be to busy fixing Biden / Harris mistakes. His mistake was not really knowing who the deep state scum was that he made part of his administration in 2016.. this time he will be more careful who is in the White House..what part of her job is Kamala good at and just what is her job, in your past post you said she doesn’t realy have a job as VP.. which is it?

Correct. The VP's job is to preside over the Senate and break ties, and be ready to become President when the President can no longer preside. But You Republicans are the ones pretending everything Biden did this past 3.5 years is Harris' doing.

As for Trump, we already know that he'll just implement Project 2025, no matter how much he denies it, he doesn't have any other plans, and his buddies at the Heritage Foundation already put in the work. They're the ones who gave Trump his SCOTUS picks. They're the ones he's going to to have Trump install political appointees to run everything in the government, and keep him out of jail.

Yea , I know, and he hasn’t payed his taxes in years either , right? You do understand it’s Joe that has dementia and Hunter that doesn’t pay taxes.. and it’s Kamala that gives incoherent speeches. ‘The children of the community are the children of the community.’ another deep thought statement form that bimbo…Kamala…

1. Trump promised to release his tax returns as far back as 2015. Still waiting.

2. Hunter owed back taxes, and he's already been prosecuted for it. President Biden didn't even ask the DOJ to give him a break.

3. Go ahead and take one sentence out of context to criticize Harris, but at least she's not spewing lies about deadly hurricanes, putting people in danger.

For a minute there I thought you were talking about mortman (the first half).

Yeah, I get that you MAGA folk get frustrated when I don't blindly accept Trump's talking points. Sorry, but I'm cursed with a tendency to think critically of any politician's statements. Trump lies like a cheap rug, and he's a criminal as the day is long. Still waiting for any evidence of "the Biden crime family."

Trump’s rambling and angry speeches raise questions about his age and fitness to serve four years

The 78-year-old former president has recently suggested there was an audience at his September 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris when there was none, and he has indicated that North Korea is attempting to assassinate him when he’s likely to have meant Iran. He misspeaks and misremembers things to such a degree that it no longer appears to garner much attention.


www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-age-speeches-rambling-mental-fitness-b2625103.html

Why are you concerned? Where was your concern about Biden’s incoherent ramblings for the past 3 years.. and Trump is out in front of tens thousands of people every other day , so he may slip up once in a while . At least he’s not caught like a deer in headlights if his teleprompter quits like Kamala. 32 days, 32 days , 32 days. That’s what’s left 32 days… that’s how she talks when she not reading what to say.. she really is a joke..but she would be a nightmare if she becomes our president..

OK, so where's your concern about Trump's mental decline after your griping about Biden all that time?

Here's hoping that our friends and loved ones in Florida stay safe!

* According to the National Hurricane Center, Milton had maximum sustained wind speeds of 160 mph as of 11 a.m. EDT, qualifying it as a Category 5.

* Milton is forecast to move near Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula Monday and Tuesday, then cross the eastern Gulf of Mexico and approach the west coast of Florida by Wednesday.

* Some weakening is expected before the storm reaches the Florida Gulf coast, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but Milton is “still likely to be a large and powerful hurricane at landfall in Florida, with life-threatening hazards at the coastline and well inland.”

* The storm was about 730 miles west-southwest of Tampa as of 11 a.m. Monday.

* Hurricane watches are in effect for the Florida Gulf Coast from Chokoloskee, about 90 miles south of Fort Meyers, to the mouth of the Suwanee River, including Tampa Bay, and for Lake Okeechobee, about 40 miles inland from West Palm Beach.

* Tropical storm warnings cover much of the same area in Florida, with the addition of the Florida Keys, and a storm surge warning is in effect near Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay.

* A storm surge could raise water levls by as much as 12 feet in Tampa Bay and between the Anclote River and Englewood in Florida, and by between 3 and 10 feet in other parts of the state (the Hurricane Center warms the surge "will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves”).

* Hurricane Milton is expected to bring 5 to 10 inches of rain, with localized totals up to 15 inches, across parts of the Florida Peninsula and the Keys through Wednesday night, which could cause "considerable flash, urban, and areal flooding," according to the NHC.

Bottom line is the Biden , Harris administration is responsible for the many lost and abused children that came here illegally with the traffickers , no other way to spin it . Harris ‘s feel good and love for all campaign slogans aren’t cutting it. Her actions are so far off from her words. Hollow , empty and disconnected from real people and the problems they face because of her and her party’s inept performance in the White House.

Sure, but why didn't Trump take any responsibility? I have more confidence in Harris who's good at her job than Trump, who absolutely sucked at his. The guy's a flat-out criminal who caused most of the problem, and has no intention of fixing his mistakes.

Biden didn’t need congress approval when he dismantled the border policies that were working to secure our border, why does he need it now, ( old argument) . Other country’s problem shouldn’t always become a burden to the U.S… Trump was trying to determine who was the parents and who were the traffickers. Biden’s approach is no vetting and now we have 1000s of minors that are being used as child labor or prostitution… so who really could care less for the migrants the democrats profess they care about.. don’t forget it was Obama that started separating kids and putting them in cages..Tune in to the Trump rally being held in Butler Penn. You may start to understand why Trump is soooo popular with the working folks and patriots of freedom.

Yeah, that's how executive order work. The next President can continue or kill at will. But Trump really made zero effort to track the parents and children separated. He apparently tried to send a message intended to dissuade immigrants from coming. In many cases the immigrants never got the message, and in other cases, immigrants came and dropped-off their children. The rest just learned by example, I guess. There was little effort expended to track the parents deported and the children detained, when the previous policy was to just keep them together until their disposition was settled. In the Obama Administration, the "kids in cages" was for unaccompanied minors. The only separated kids were situations where the kids' safety was threatened or the parents were criminals.

It looks as if Biden and Harris have depleated funds from FEMA to house and feed the illegal immigrants, and now they don’t have the funds to meet the needs of hurricane victims through the rest of that season. With very little response from the federal government to the people ( my folks) in the NC mountains we can thank the volunteers of the surrounding communities and the victims themselves. It’s been over a week since these folks had everything they owned swept away in the worst flooding in that area ever..and Kamala has spoke to these people from somewhere other than the effected area of course for about 3 minutes to offer them a $750 check.. WTF.. I guess they aren’t that concerned because 85 % of those mountain folk vote Republican and 40,000 mail in votes already sent back are unaccounted for .

Wow. You apparently accept everything Trump says as gospel. FEMA funds didn't go to immigrants.
www.fema.gov/node/funding-fema-disaster-response-was-diverted-support-international-efforts-or-border-related

Also the $750 is only an immediate federal disaster grant to be used for immediate needs. It's separate from the much larger disaster relief payments people can apply for.

Jesus, if you don't even know the basics about the border by this time, its worthless to waste my time explaining it to you.

I thought you were mildly "smart" at one time but its become obvious you know JUST BARELY ENOUGH about a topic to sound like you know what you're talking about but really do not below the surface.

Look the numbers up for yourself. Even your left wing sources will have them and can't even lie about them. Come on, you must be trolling with some of the "gaps" in your knowledge.

Don't cry because I disagree with you. Put up some facts that I can observe. It's not shocking that immigration was up in the Biden Administration as people flooded in from so many other countries where life is much worse. But without Congress approving improvements to the immigration system, there's not a lot more Biden (or Harris) can do until the Republicans get off their butts and get the necessary legislation passed. At least Biden isn't separating families at the border like Trump did.

The only thing I’ve heard That could cause some disruption to our already damaged economy is with the possible dock workers strike. Who will unload the container ships.? the workers are asking for a 70% raise within 6 years. My frustration is that Biden being the best friend the union has( that’s his words), and him standing with strikers in picket lines , who is he gonna side with? No one ! He refuses to get involved as a mediator to possibly settle the dispute before it happens and keep the cap from blowing off with the economy right here at the start of the busiest shipping time of the year. . but he can try to mediate the war between Israel and Iran and it’s proxy’s by telling Israel to go easy on the people that want them dead.. and now he says no more $$$ for FEMA , really? They haven’t even got the report on the monetary damage , and I expect it will be unprecedented numbers of dollars..

The top post was probably referring to the US federal government shutdown over failing to pass a budget or continuing funding resolution in Congress. The OP predated the longshoremen strike.

Either way, the Congressional Republicans gave up on their political shenanigans until after the election and the Biden Administration got both sides back to negotiating and the workers back to work.


Mortgage, NO ! I'm talking about unincorporated, no longer a corporation. Originally that was proportidly the idea, be a corporation to start, so they could produce commercial paper for income, then transition to a common law pure trust, so the constitution would be solid, enforcing common law ,and abiding by the limitations of USG rights that the constitution specifies.

That's not how it works. The US Government is not a corporation, so there's nothing to unincorporate. For income, they get revenue from taxes, tariffs and administrative fees. Not sure what you mean by "commercial paper." It's not money, because that costs the government money, but it's a necessity of commerce.

That doesn't explain her/their first 3.5 years of failure at the border now does it?

Let me guess, your next excuse for her/them is something along the lines of "the border has always been an issue, long before Kamala".

The 2 presidencies (Trump/Pence, Biden/Harris) could not have been more different on the border as Trumps numbers CLEARLY show compared to the current. She failed, and failed miserably. Why not just admit it and own it? I can admit that Trump says some awful things yet the Dems will never admit any failure ("Bidenomics is working", etc)

And lets not get into this latest failure of the recent hurricane.

They are in over their heads. It's pretty obvious to most.

They probably spent most of that time trying to get Congress to act on the issues at hand. Biden's said it himself for years, and Congressional Republicans have alternately said that the President cannot order Congress around, and cannot go around congress, while on TV saying Biden should just make executive orders like Trump did, despite Trump's EOs getting overruled by federal judges across the country. There are actual federal and international laws in play, regarding the border and immigration.

But go ahead and show us the numbers you think show that Trump was so much more successful than Trump. The recent report from CBP are collected from decades, and not just the result of Biden's term. That's why people call it misleading. Trump's squawking about it doesn't help, either, but he's an idiot and we should ignore what he says.
