The RNC had.....Hulk Hogan.

South Florida said: "You read people write, I acknowledge all the bad things but I have to think of me and my interests. What if your interests are not better for the rest of us or for humanity as a whole? Dump somehow helps my pocketbook and that's good enough. Pay no heed to the fact that every possible environmental restriction was dumped by Dump. Global warming, suffering future generations, a myth, I care about me now."

Why would I think my interests are not the same as other voters - or for humanity as a whole?  You have to state your question the way you did because you can only argue while being disingenuous.

Why is it so difficult to interact with someone you disagree with, even vehemently so, and not insult them and/or distort their side?  If I was as dumb as you think I am, you wouldn't need to distort what I've previously stated.  Only dumb people or cowards distort the opponent's side when attempting to "stick to 'em".

Trump stokes white supremacy. Do you recognize that, Pauly?

That should answer your question about why basic humanity and MAGA are mutually exclusive.

Why is there so much talk about where Kamala's parents are from, but none about where Trump's mother was from? What differentiates the two?

The CONVICTED FELON is claiming that the Harris-Walz campaign is faking the massive size of their rallies.  The COWARDLY DRAFT DODGER says all the photos are created with AI.  One news channel is calling the SEXUAL ASSAULTER "deranged".  Las Vegas friends were at the rally there this weekend (estimated 12,000).  Nothing "fake" about those numbers, say our friends.  (And as an aside, the event was surprisingly emotional for them.)

When you're losing, LIE !!

Our resident MAGA Trolls will probably soon emerge from the dark recesses of the internet to claim that the MAGA thug is telling the TRUTH.  The TRUTH, they will say.

No, Jay, I don't recognize the validity in your claim that Trump stokes white supremacy.  Assertions are extraordinarily powerful, which is unfortunate for us all, because it leads to all sorts of unnecessary levels of division.  Repeated assertions are not demonstrable of what is true.  It's too bad more people don't understand this.

Regarding MAGA and basic humanity, having characteristics of one does not automatically exclude the other.  It just doesn't.

I have no idea why there is any talk about where Kamala's parents are from or why where Trump's mother was from isn't talked about.  This is a non-issue, and I don't care the least bit about it.

So Jay, no thoughts on the comparison I brought up between the Trump/Pence administration and the Biden/Harris administration with respect to how things were and are going with Putin, Bibi, Kim Jong Un etc?  Not interested in the  actual issues that are before us?  Yeah, neither does Kamala.  So it seems.

Notice how our resident MAGA trolls scream that THEIR issues must be OUR issues and that we MUST respond to their nonsense?  Doesn't work that way, little MAGA trolls..

You can't point to a single example of what you claim, unless of course you are staring into a mirror (while stomping your feet) - or unless you point at someone here who will vote with you.

How do you not see the hypocrisy you present so loudly?

After that crazy rant on Twitter/X last night it's baffling that anyone is still considering on voting for this senile, old racist.

MAGA is dying.

There is something seriously wrong with the mental state of ths MAGA thug, and more so than before.    He is incapable of running our wonderful country, or even his own household.   And I question the mental stability of the resident MAGA Trolls/Bullies who jump to his defense, over and over again.  Very strange, but we can't control the filthy mold that creeps into these threads.  But we CAN stand up to these unwanted invaders!

Highland Guy.....just more tantrum-throwing about things that have not been demonstrated here.  Trump ran the country better than Biden has.  We have track records to look at that indicate this is true, which is why you nor the media nor Harris want to address those specific records.  This defense of Trump, not unlike other defenses made here, is not trolling nor is it bullying.  YOU and those like you (e.g. South Florida) are the one trolling and bullying.  Why you can't see it is evidence of your lack of mental stability.

Tim Walz, our next Vice President, begins a solo speaking tour today in Los Angeles at a union convention.  Other stops (maybe not all) include Denver, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and final stop New York.

He handled the pandemic terribly and thought giving out an extra $600 a month to the unemployed would help boost the economy. At first it did, but then supply shortages were everywhere which resulted in price gauging. And most companies haven't lower their prices since. That falls on him, not Biden. And he only gave tax breaks out to the ultra-rich and large corporations. Not the middle and lower class which Harris wants to do.

He actually suggested:  "Just inject disinfectant" as a quick cure for COVID.  Those words would be laughable, were they not so dangerously crazy.

Thanks for a comment that is an actual argument.  My argument to what you've offered is that everyone handled the pandemic terribly.  Singling out Trump in this regard isn't meaningful.  I could make another meaningless comment singling out Biden as a comparison.  It too would be meant to single out Biden but also too would be meaningless.  Did Biden not give out plenty of money, and hasn't inflation been a problem for all of Biden's term?  Determining who owns the responsibility for the inflation is tricky, and we simply disagree on who impacted what the most.  Regarding tax breaks, the ramifications are slightly more complicated than you would have anyone believe.  If you think raising taxes on corporations will be a good thing on consumers, then we fundamentally disagree who will actually pay for those tax increases.

Words, again, taken out of context.  And not just a little bit.  Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.  He's bad.  So why are you compelled to spew such nonsense?  You, again, act like a child throwing a tantrum.

Trump acted like a child throwing a tantrum after the 2020 election. He never uses valid arguments, or cares about fact or context. You seem to hold us faceless strangers on a message board to a higher standard than you do the President of the United States.

Comparing holding strangers and Trump to different standards is nonsense.  I am not arguing with Trump.  My argument is with you.  This isn't so difficult.  Why you make it so, by inserting these simpleton nonsensical attempted "tests", is reflective of nothing even remotely reasonable.  Can you not do better?

He didn't say "Just inject disinfectant" as a quick cure for COVID, nor anything of the kind.  Instead, what he did was ponder the idea that some form of cleaning the virus internally, with something developed by doctors not so unlike disinfectant spray can kill the virus on contact (externally), that the idea was interesting.  You did take his comments out of context.  Thanks for providing the proof that you did.  Inarticulate as they may have been, there was ZERO danger to ANYONE in the words he chose to speak.

If Trump's words were recited to someone who had no idea who Trump was, those people would agree with my take on what Trump's words meant, not yours.  In fact, there would be ZERO controversy amongst those people.  "TDS" is why there is a controversy.  And that is the only reason.

Reminder for Jay:

Wallace: "Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we've seen in Portland?" 

Trump: "Sure. I'm willing to do that."

Trump's immediate reply DID condemn white supremacists.  This should have been the end of the questioning, unless they had (valid) examples of Trump aligning himself with white supremacy.  There was no (honest) reason for Biden or Wallace to push it further, well, except to derail Trump which is likely exactly why they did push it.  If they could be intellectually honest though, neither of them would have pushed for Trump to say the words, "I condemn white supremacy" like some trained dog.  Trump is not a trained dog, and he did not give them what they wanted.  And the leftist media and you victims of "TDS" pounced and continue to pounce like rabid dogs.  You make my argument for me.

Sound like you have lost your marbles.  You forgot the actual substance of what Trump said, inarticulate or not.  No unbiased reasonable person would agree with your take.  Not a single one.

President Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden are in New Orleans where he will speak about the "Biden Cancer Moonshot" initiative.  This effort to help find a cure for cancer was created, in part, to honor their son Beau, who unfortunately did not survive cancer.  The White House has announced that it is pledging $150M for cancer research.  Given that I am living with cancer and will soon undergo cancer therapy, this initiative is of personal importance to me and those who live with cancer.  Another reason why President Biden's legacy will always be one of utmost honor.

The "Biden Cancer Moonshot" initiative is admirable.  I hope it is wildly successful and exceeds the stated goals. Regardless of your willingness to consider that I might be sincere, I wish you well in your fight against cancer.
