The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 9/11/24

Good Morning Kids. 23 years ago our world was turned upside down. Beyond the sheer horrors of what we saw that day, and some of us felt (I lost a classmate who was trapped on the 108th floor of the south Tower) and in fact I was at the World Trade Center exactly a week before and were it not for a last second decision to return to Los Angeles likely would have been there that morning at the exact time the Towers collapsed.

The events of that day and their aftermath, along with the political high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas a decade earlier marked my personal political awakening and transformation. Considering what has happened and is happening both here and abroad, those events remain seminal in the eternal struggle between (pace Mark Levin) liberty and tyranny.

God bless the sacred memory of all those who perished on that horrible day, as well as those who gave their lives in the ensuing travesty of the so-called Global War on Terror that has done nothing to avenge their deaths nor to make America and civilization safer. All one has to do is peruse the website Religionofpeace dot com (linked here) and look at the body count since 9/11/01 of the practitioners of Islam as written and preached to understand that they will not stop until all of us are dead or subjugated, even if it means turning planet Earth into a nuclear wasteland.

Ditto their allies of convenience, the Globalist communist Left, especially in America and all over the world. Yet even Germany has had it up to here (pointing at my neck where Ahmed will cut along the dotted line) with unchecked migration from dark age Islamic hell holes. Of course, they like many other nations have only themselves to blame for allowing this as national policy for decades, be it for economic or other reasons. It's likely too late but still, at least they're doing something to try and restore something that resembles, if they're lucky, Springfield Ohio or Aurora Colorado, right? If they're lucky. As it stands, Europe is on course to become Kabul or Islamabad within the next 10 years, if not sooner.

Speaking of Kabullshit, if you caught the so-called debate last night, among the unmitigated lies hurled by Kamala at Donald Trump was this titanic whopper of a blood libel:

Vice President Kamala Harris, who once boasted of being the "last person in the room" when President Joe Biden finalized America's withdrawal from Afghanistan, instead blamed former president Donald Trump for the botched evacuation during Tuesday night's debate.

As expected, it was about as horrible a rigged shit-show as you imagined. There are a number of links at the top of the Politics section to peruse vis a vis reactions.

What was supposed to be a presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News, instead became a debate between the former president, his current challenger, and ABC’s two moderators: David Muir and Linsey Davis.
Even as Kamala Harris lied about her positions on fracking, gun control, and Israel, Muir and Davis repeatedly jumped in to argue with Trump under the guise of ‘fact-checking’ him.
The 3-on-1 debate format may very well mark the end of mainstream media presidential debates. It also represented a new low in not just media bias, but election interference.
The media marks each year by giving the public new reasons to distrust it, and ABC News, Muir, and Davis were clearly so insecure about the performance of their candidate that they repeatedly felt called on to argue with Trump instead of letting Kamala rebut him.
ABC News, Muir, and Davis also had no trust in the voters to decide for themselves.
And so what was supposed to be a debate between two candidates instead became a debate between the establishment and an insurgent. Paradoxically this cut against efforts by the Kamala campaign to brand her an “underdog: and an insurgent candidate swimming upstream. . .
. . . Kamala came into the debate with the same approach as her campaign. Unburdened by her past views or her administration’s current positions, she recited contradictory memorized speeches that reflected whatever her pollsters thought the public might want to hear.
That meant accusing Trump of being soft on China, blaming him for her administration’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan and claiming that crime was down. It also meant howlers like contending that “there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world” when American soldiers have been killed in Syria and wounded in Iraq, and just weeks ago took part in a raid in that same country.
None of the moderators thought that needed fact-checking.
Kamala claimed on the eve of 9/11 that January 6 was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” But the attacks of September 11 and the resurgence of Al Qaeda and ISIS in Afghanistan did not come up at the debate since it wasn’t nearly as important as abortion.
Instead, there was time for an extended conversation about abortion during which Kamala falsely claimed that women were being denied IVF procedures because of Trump. ABC’s Linsey Davis did not see fit to argue with that but did argue with Trump about partial-birth abortion.

Some have criticized Trump mostly for his angry reactions at the in-your-face bias of the moderators, but can you blame him? For sure, he had to know he was walking into a public execution. Had he refused, he' have been raked over the coals for that.

But will last night's farce really move the needle to anyone but the lowest of low information voters? Since Kamala now has the Taylor Swift endorsement, I guess that's good enough for them. And if that is the case, then we as a society are screwed.

In the end, I don't think last night will make that much of a difference. The election will boil down to the reality of open borders and a dead economy vs. how many dead voters show up for the Democrats after the polls close this November.

Have a good day.

While there is nothing explicitly preventing Dunn from taking on both roles, experts say the campaign’s decision to work with her should raise concern.

Laurence Pelosi, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s nephew, had a stake in a joint real estate venture with Goldman Sachs called Restore Utah, which benefits from HUD’s Section 8 housing vouchers, while his wife, Alexis Pelosi, was employed at the agency, according to a copy of the waiver approval released by watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust. While it would usually violate federal ethics rules for a beneficiary of HUD funds to have a spouse employed at the department, HUD found an exemption that allowed Laurence to retain his stake in the real estate project. Requiring him to divest, or his project to forgo HUD funds, would allegedly result in “undue hardship” for Alexis and her husband.

That computes to a gravity-defying 100% positive spin score for the Vice President.

Kamala Harris' Carefully Rehearsed Evasion
Viewers took to X on Tuesday to criticize ABC News debate moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir for alleged bias against former President Donald Trump during the debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris and Trump squared off in their first and so-far only scheduled debate as the race between them remains tight. Viewers on X accused the moderators of fact-checking and interrupting Trump significantly more than Harris during the debate.
‘Disgraceful’: ABC News Roasted For Repeatedly Fact-Checking Trump While Letting Kamala Slide
Let’s start with the obvious: Kamala came in prepared, and Trump, as usual, took the bait more than once. Sure, he got in some good lines and managed to score points on the economy, crime, and border security, but Kamala’s strategy was clear: provoke Trump and let him hurt himself with his own aggression. . . .It worked more than it should have.And the moderators did a lot to help her with that. It's hard to believe that I can look at the debate tonight and feel nostalgic for the relative fairness of the CNN moderators back in June. It was shameful the way they would fact-check Trump live, but not Kamala Harris. Not even once. It was disgusting. Sadly, that's not something most viewers will care all that much about.

Kamala Wants Second Debate After ABC Moderators Piled On Trump In Their First Match
Michael Goodwin: When it came to Trump’s answers, several times the moderators insisted he was wrong and offered what can only be called corrections. They were way out of line and once again proved that mainstream media outlets simply cannot be trusted to play fair. One of those instances involved a Democratic abortion bill that would have allowed a full-term fetus born alive to be euthanized. Trump was right, but the moderators unfairly undercut what he said by casting doubt on it for viewers. That’s not moderating. That’s election interference. Overall, Trump gave a so-so performance. He appeared to be glowering at the moderators for most of the evening, and turned too often to the Biden-Harris decision to let in millions of unvetted, illegal migrants. Sheer repetition does not by itself make a convincing case and he missed an opportunity to broaden the argument.

26 How the New York Times stoked Covid alarmism

Not so much how as why... emotional people are easily controlled. Fear is a powerful emotion. It's as simple as that.

It should concern all of us that legacy media displayed such a strong bias during an unprecedented pandemic.

It was unprecedented only because it was, primarily, a political op. I don't believe that getting rid of Trump was even the primary goal, merely a welcome addition for the globalists. The primary goal was to use fear to get the populations of whole nations to give up vast amounts from liberty and institute new controls on behavior which will never be relinquished - this was when the mis/dis/mal information nonsense started.

I've always found that weak sauce - no one in real life has such a blind spot. Its a failing of Trump, if true.

Last night showed a similar flaw. One I've seen in most managers. Trump is lost when he can't control the conversation. When he's not treated as "the boss".

38 Morning all. Thx JJ. I didn't watch the debate because the format generally drives me crazy. However I've seen clips this AM and I saw one which no one is talking about but Trump put Harris in a bad spot. His steadfast support of Israel and his accusation that Harris "hates " Israel forced her to respond. She stated she's always been a big supporter of Israel and will continue to be. That will not play well with the pro Hamas and Muslim population.

Again, it wasn't a debate, it was a star chamber run by two donk apparatchiks masquerading as journalists.

Trump did as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

There were no gotcha lines, nothing that will be played on loop, nothing that will go into any commercial, nothing really to capitalize on.

57 Good Morning Kids. 23 years ago our world was turned upside down. Beyond the sheer horrors of what we saw that day, and some of us felt (I lost a classmate who was trapped on the 108th floor of the south Tower) and in fact I was at the World Trade Center exactly a week before and were it not for a last second decision to return to Los Angeles likely would have been there that morning at the exact time the Towers collapsed.

I am surprised to see that the google home page has a little American flag with a black ribbon and has "in remembrance of September 11."

My cynical take is that the only reason the flag is there is because it is an election year and they have to pretend to love America.

Treasonous bastards.

58 Morning to all you early risers and insomaniacals! Thanks to (now) Hurricane Francine, my work is closed today, so I stayed up for the "debate" and slept as late as I could. Feels weird not to be up for the Tech Thread.

The big gray block JJ quotes on the top of this post pretty much sums up what I saw, too. KH lied, the supposed "moderators" wrangled with Trump. As I watched I felt not the "Wow! Look at Trump go!" I had with the first debate, but a tenseness that probably reflected what I saw in Trump's body language.

77 The State Media made certain there no debate.
It was obvious from the jump that Kamala’s handlers, aka ‘moderators’, were there to ensure The Regime Narrative was enforced.

As with Trump debating Biden BEFORE the DNC convention thereby giving the Marxists a lifeline with the Kamala coup, one is left to wonder why Trump would do a 3 on 1 narrative enforcement session with State Media.

He did not need a State Media ‘debate’ to win. She did. He could not and did not gain a vote out of Debate Theater and she may well have gained with the LIV’s.

Because this is the system that has been in place for 60 years.

And there really are no good MSM forums to hold debates.

Remember, there was no bigger offender last election cycle than FOX News and Chris Wallace.

Basically do away with any MSM moderated debates, let the campaigns organize their own debates and invite the other candidate to their forum, if no one shows up, fine.

109 Trump had the much more difficult job last night. Not just that it was 3 against 1, but more specifically, he needed to fact-check and counter-attack her on the spot, as well as manage the inaccurate spin veiled as "fact-checking" from the Democrat operatives set up to moderate the debate. So no, it wasn't anything close to a fair debate, but Trump fell short of that difficult bar. I am sure most of you were like me watching, yelling at the TV the things that Trump needed to say and call her out on (or the things he needed to ignore, like when it was obvious she was baiting him into silly stuff like defending the crowd size at his rallies). So it was hugely disappointing, but I'm hoping that is what has me feeling so bad about it, and not that the debate actually changed the trajectory of the campaign (which Trump is winning, at least before last night).

Posted by: Mad Max in VA at September 11, 2024 07:32 AM (IORSH)

110 Whenever someone says "I don't think the debate will charge much," it's cope. It's an attempt to minimize a lost opportunity.

That was not a good performance by Trump. The deck was stacked against him but he has almost always faced that problem, and he often has been able to turn the tables and overcome it.

Anyone who's been watching him for nine years knows that his biggest weaknesses are his distractibility, his passion, and his ego. Those weaknesses can be overcome, but he'd have to do traditional debate prep. He'd have to practice with hostile questioners and an opponent who tried to get under his skin. But he refuses to do traditional debate prep because his too stubborn to see that what worked in 2016 against Clinton doesn't work against everyone else. He doesn't change because he's not capable of learning. That's just who he is.

Given the polling history, he's probably in the lead. But that was a disappointing performance.

This is a classic GOP mistake - illustrated right here. The assumption that the opponent will play the game with the same strategy you will. Game Theory folks have written books on this.

The modern DNC fights like Grant. No picking of battles. Push everywhere - and concentrate all reserves at points of success. The DNC perceived success last night - and rightly so. Of course they want to line up and do it again.

My only worry is that the power will go out. The car is gassed up; I have canned goods and plenty of water, and I'll store a little coffee that I can drink if any outage lasts into tomorrow.

Everybody knew that this was coming. It was discussed by everyone in every debate preview. Everyone knew that Harris would try to get under Trump's skin with statements that bruise his ego. You knew it, I knew it, surely Trump's advisors knew it.

And yet he walked into it. Of course.

Trump refuses to listen to people who tell him that his instincts lead him into mistakes. He's convinced that because he followed his gut and won in 2016, he never has to listen to anything other than his gut. It's the overarching flaw that hinders him time and again.

She didn't do good, but she didn't collapse on the floor in a word salad like some were predicting either. She came close a couple of times while waiting for the earpiece to feed her something, but the moderators cut her off.

Basically she was looking for a viral moment and didn't get one. Trump did, with the "I'm talking", but that's a joke that has to be explained outside of the terminally online so it's not a big deal either.

Harris was on-topic, rarely rambled, spoke clearly and fairly eloquently, and would revisit subtle throwaway phrases Trump had used long before in the debate.

After years of seeing her normally and watching her avoid interviews and constantly laughing when she was in difficult situations, people almost certainly saw this and realized something was up. Maybe not consciously, but their brains did.

Let's face it. There will never be anything remotely fair in these presidential debates and that's just the way it is. It's deeply maddening and infuriating, but it will never change. It's not fair. It will never be fair. And it can't be claimed she won anything under those circumstances. A 3-against-1 gangbang doesn't make the 1 a loser. It just makes the situation deeply unfair.

So while I didn't watch last night, I see we're wearing our thundershirts today to cope with it all. It's a shame for America that we have to put up with thing kind of sh*t.

She doesn't think it was a good debate for Kamala and makes some good points about that. Rich Lowry, editor of NeverTrump Review Online, also didn't think this was especially helpful to Kamala or bad for Trump, largely because of how transparently bad the moderators were. It's worth seeing for those of us who are pretty disappointed about last night, because these are not your hardcore Trump cultists, so their perspectives shouldn't just be dismissed as such.

195 this is utterly predictable and planned. Her numbers would have surged if she had passed out drunk at the podium..

We're still at the stage where the polls have a heavy component of media fantasy, so yeah, they'll show her with a bump. But to the extent she gets one it'll be from Taylor Swift, not the debate.

196 Trump took the bait, but I don't know what else you do when it's three against one in an ambush format. He counter-punched pretty well on more than a few occasions.

I simply pray his presence on all of the BigPodcasts are reaching more than the Karens that watch 'debates'.

I think it's worse than we can imagine. They've already shot him in the head once. I can't imagine what the same people plan to do when he wins.

I think it's why they've been pushing race so hard. They plan on CW II, and they intend to maintain the status quo.

199 Question: How often, if at all, does the Southern Hemisphere have hurricanes? Their swould rotate clockwise, of course. In the N.

Aside from the islands scattered across the Pacific, there would not be many land masses in their way.

201 First two comments from FOX business on the debate:

8 hours ago
I agree that Harris had a good night. But I still believe that her so called change of heart on major issues is fake. My standard of living was better when Trump was president. Therefore, I will still be voting for Trump. One good night isn't enough to change my mind.

Reply
1 hour ago

She said almost nothing, but what she did say about her economic plan can be summed up in one phrase - more government borrowing and spending. The national debt was not mentioned at all. Big omission. So was not mentioning her two tie-breaking votes that got those massive spending bills passed.

203 Now that's an interesting thought. The Taylor Swift endorsement was planned specifically to provide a boost that she wouldn't have gotten from the debate.

Debate + Taylor Swift and she's still at whatever point she's at.

I take issue with this claim. "Journalists" have zero humor in their delivery. Take last night, for example: Muir is absolutely earnest and deadpan. I haven't watched him before but he was awful.

208 You have to remind yourself; It's not 'just' Harris, it's all the unelected bureaucrats behind her, the media, corporate America, academia, etc. Whether Trump did poorly or held his own is debatable, but I think he knows, at some level what he is up against. I imagine that gets to be overwhelming at times.

The debate. Well, that happened.

I cannot claim to understand the American public that's gotten us to where we are today, but my gut reaction to Kamala's performance was that her drama - the exaggerated disdain, mockery, etc. didn't come off well. That was not the behavior of someone with empathy, understanding, etc.. That the abortion issue is what really got her revved up was creepy. But then, I am not someone who revels in girlbossiness and values Taylor Swift's endorsement.

Crowder's emulation of O'Keefe where someone at SDNY said the Trump prosecution was fake and gay and attention seeking by Alvin Bragg was more interesting, and may have led to Merchant delaying the sentencing.

ABC moderators were far superior to Tapper and Bash. They pushed him to answer the questions and also fact-checked him on several things.

Rasmussen has a chart up of how well they performed against about 15 other polling firms. They all were off by anywhere from 2 to 12 points. Everyone underestimated how well Trump did in 2020.

So if you are seeing a tie in national polls, it's definitely something.

282 I think most commenters knew yesterday before the debate that it wasn't going to go like the last one.
They set Brandon up to fail, it was "fair" because they wanted it that way to get Joe out.
They want Harris in, so it's back to business as usual.
I'm certain Trump and his people knew this, my question is what else is he supposed to do? Talk his positions and attack the current admin... he was never going to be allowed to come off positively.
Also, the critique about him repeating things, he does this on purpose. repetition gets the message repeated, it works.

I believe one, a pretty powerful one swept through the South China Sea a couple days ago, whacking the Philippines and southern China.

IIRC the positions of various landmasses in the northern hemisphere makes landfall more common than in the southern hemisphere.

And those that hit Japan? That's still northern hemisphere. Pacific Ocean storms are Typhoons, it has nothing to do with hemisphere location.

The last four years have played out like any number of 80s era political thrillers where the corrupt government is moving against a reformist outsider. Hollywood/the left used to love those movies...

358 My take on the debate.
We don't need no stinkin' Russians for election interference. We've got ABC. I'm sure the DOJ will be all over this.
Trump was fact checked 7 times. Harris, despite lying constantly, was never checked.
On several occasions the mods tried to force Trump to answer the question when he deflected.
Kamala deflected numerous times and there was never a followup.
There is no way we can hate the MSM enough.

It was always going to be a fight over perceptions and memes, no matter who the person shoved out into the arena was. I don't mean the debate, I mean the larger war over "The West" or civilization or whatever you want to call it.

The only hope for actual victory of any meaningful kind is the slow, methodical erosion of the media's credibility. I don't think a whole heck of a lot else matters. You'll never argue anyone into being a free-market liberal capitalist with FACTS and LOGIC... but you can shame them into not listening to uniparty totalitarian jackasses anymore.

370 The Taylor Swift subreddit was deleting any comment that wasn't glowing about Kamala, or downvoting it into oblivion after it was being quickly upvoted by the like-minded pro-Trump. And there were a lot of these anti-Kamala and pro-Trump comments from Swift fans, I checked. It was maybe 1 in 4, and they were sweeping them all away.

When you have to engineer 100% support for your candidate on a forum that *should* be mostly full of libs anyway, then the endorsement is more story than effect.

And if it was Vance it would have been about childless catladies. That's the way it is. And if we here can predict the the theme, so can debate prep teams and the candidates themselves. A lot falls on Vance now. In him and his debate performance I am sure.

Posted by: one hour sober at September 11, 2024 08:40 AM (Y1sOo)

There was never going to be an implosion. She had a script, all the questions, an earpiece and two people in the tank running constant cover for her.

It's theater. Swift took no chances, everyone knows she's a bought and paid for lib, it was just question of timing.

And they engineered the timing as a convenient subject change depending on how "bad" it might have been for Kamala. And Kamala began selling some kind of Taylor bracelet last night so the whole thing was (of course) planned well in advance.

They don't understand that they are effectively putting themselves in a hostile prison of their own making where 'solitary' is the only safe place they can exist, because near everyone else in the population they rule fantasizes about their Ceausescu moment. Same with those that support the tyranny - civil servants, media figures and the like. As well as the families of those that support the tyranny.

Seem to recall that Ghislaine whatsherface was Reddit superuser and moderator. Anonymously, of course.
Ghislaine Maxwell could have been secretly operating one of the most powerful Reddit accounts of all time, according to a widely shared conspiracy theory on the website.

There is no definitive proof that the account is run by Ghislaine but hundreds of users have pointed out the u/maxwellhill handle has fallen silent since her July 2 arrest on sex trafficking charges related to Jeffrey Epstein.

In a Twitter post, YouTuber Joe Leonard wrote: 'Ghislane Maxwell was the first person on reddit to hit 1 million karma LMAO! She's the #8 karma to this day. Her posts to /r/worldnews constituted roughly 30% of the posts there. This connection was made after she was arrested and that account stopped posting there after 14 years.'

499 As a high information voter that has a definite ideology and political perspective it is bizarre to see the large cohort of people that know little about politics or political theory who often decide elections.

Part of the problem here is that even if we had completely fair elections each voter has only a very, very small say in who gets elected. But the sum result of that has about as much impact on your life as any other decision you might make and people that will spend large amounts of time on deciding a career field or hell a fantasy football team roster can't be bothered to really understand the issues.

I'm pretty good at this kind of thing and I think overall she was stage managed well. Having her look at Trump for 60% of her talking was a good way to try and subordinate him, and it is very difficult if not impossible to do that. Good cheap tactic to hand her fake points. They did some camera angle trickery too.

Also she did a *lot* of Biden smirking reminiscent of his bs debate with Ryan. Low fo's seemed to dig that back then but I don't know how it plays on a woman honestly.

I think her refusing to answer the question about whether she would protect babies in the 8th and 9th month was by far her worst moment. Trump was smart to deploy the question but we can't give him credit for anything because reeee.

"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans." -- Bill Clinton '9 3 just before he pulled out of Somalia

"To abandon this area now -- and to rely only on efforts against alQaeda from a distance -- would significantly hamper our ability to keep the pressure on al Qaeda, and create an unacceptable risk on additional attacks on our homeland and our allies. -- OBAMA'09

Reddit is a website / platform that works like other forum style sites.

The only ones having a tantrum are the same people who throw a tantrum every single time they think Trump did something awful, you DeSantis Bros. It's as predictable as a the pope shitting in the woods.

Ron isn't the nominee because he lost in the primary. Badly. Insisting that means he would have been an unstoppable dynamo in the general is lunacy, even for a low rent DeSantis Bros.

Let it go. Ron is not the nominee because voters didn't want him to be. Trump did fine last night considering the ridiculously biased moderators which are at least as big a topic today as the candidates.

That confirms my reaction to her laughing at Trump's righteous anger on behalf of Springfield and Aurora citizens. Even if you don't believe the "eating cats and dogs" part, what you saw was the politician who's bragged about taking in, extending protections to Haitians laughing at the people now harmed by this.

A person who cared - or had even a hint of political skills - would be more gentle, say something like, "I understand people are concerned with the changes that "newcomers" bring, and while that claim has not been verified, we will be meeting with the city leaders to see how we can help blah blah blah."

...managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton...managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin.

It’s like what are all the possible policy or attack points we might conceivably want to make? Kamala was practically emptying the cupboard. I’m going to hit every damn one! It was amazing.

Trump actually managed to lose the exchange over the withdrawal from Afghanistan. He managed to repeat the grotesque conspiracy theory about feral immigrants hunting down the cats and dogs of flag waving Americans and eating them for breakfast.

It’s not clear to me the degree to which Harris led Trump into relitigating Jan 6th, blaming Nancy Pelosi for planning the attack, hyping Vladimir Putin or diving head first into a dozen other story lines that people hate about him...

552 You have two teams. The fans on each side will say their team won, no matter what. But what does are the people on the sidelines. People who are trying to look at candidates and make a choice. That debate gave those people very little to go on, especially for Kamala. By now most people have seen her in her own words. On fracking. On Bidenomics. On the border. On the Second Amendment. Nothing she said allayed any fears or gave them information on her positions. In fact, she looked dishonest, evasive and those facial expressions portrayed a childish ignorance and nervousness.

Like it or not, you know what you get with Trump. I will say it didn’t move the needle for Kamala. The people who needed to be persuaded, were not despite the most biased, fraudulent ABC efforts.

Besides, if Trump had spent the debate going after the media there would be people here today complaining that Trump spends too much time complaining about the media.

Trump got his points in about illegals taking over parts of cities, eating pets and allowing babies to die after being born. All of those are true by the way and will be highlighted over the remainder of the campaign.

563 @JROD I bet you're the super importantest. Nobody cares. My views on the debate last night have nothing to do with the primary which was over months ago. They're based on discussions with women and young people and reading the headlines today and seeing the dead silence of the Trump campaign. That your projection is that it's just because I'm mad about Desantis shows how far up your ass your head really is.

One thing is for sure: all of those cat memes are resonating, and they are funny AF. The Sheppard Fairy Kamala posted has got nothing on all of the X memes.

And "conspiracy theory" labeling is not effective anymore, not when so many of the so-called "conspiracy theories" have been proven true lately.

Karen McWine Mom who loves abortion was never gonna vote for Trump. Harris lost votes from her Hamass followers because Trump maneuvered her into a statement of support for Israel. Oh and BTW… eggs are still $4 a dozen and cost of living is ridiculous. Why is our side all depressed to discover Kamala can memorize attack lines? Why is this impressive?

She started the whole debate by NOT ANSWERING a question about whether things are better now than 4 years ago. Persuadable voters (the 10 that are left) noticed….

He was crushing at the beginning when he stuck to the issues. He just can’t maintain it.

And I love all the complaining about ABC. Every breathing person with a brain knew this was an ambush. It was clear she had the questions and was probably getting help.

If the answer is no, then why do you feel after last nights debate there is going to be a sudden rush for people to now vote for Kamala?

Where she masterful? No.

Did she reveal some awesome policy that people can get behind? No.

Did she successfully fool people into thinking the massive hit they have had to their standard of living over the last four years was a mirage? No?

She didn't do shit except for the usual gibber jabber nonsense all Democrats do.

Yup. I saw this over the weekend.

People will now search for this and discover video of a lot of distressed Ohio residents describing how badly things have become in a few short years. That's why I said "even if you don't believe the eating cats and dogs" - until you see video and other gross pictures from Haiti of cat butchering, your reaction is "WTF -- NO WAY!!!" But it's all out there, that this is standard cuisine in Haiti, that they're being dumped into small towns, and animals are now disappearing. Conspiracy theory?

There was a good commenter there back in the day called "Schadenfreude."

634 'Morning, all, and thank you J.J.

For the 23rd year, I've sat mesmerized as planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, a field 80 miles south of Pittsburgh where Flight 93 was brought down, "its intended target is not definitively known, but it is believed that the hijackers were targeting the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland or several nuclear power plants along the Eastern seaboard." Nov 9, 2010, History com. And, I cry over the horrors of each, but also for the magnificent bravery of so many who fought to survive and rescue, and memorialize or be memorialized for all time. God Bless America!

Before, feeling a Presidential Debate the evening of September 10th wasn't optimum, now resenting that timing because I want nothing such as today's MSM spin overshadowing all 9/11 remembrances.

Earlier this AM at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in NYC, Biden, Harris, and Trump were standing front row, almost shoulder-to-shoulder. The leadership we have, if not the leadership we want. There's still some time. Keep the faith. (All, imo.)

In his zombie series, John Ringo has a bit about that. Young girl is being introduced to Marine vehicles. I don't recall which one it was but she called it a tank. She was informed that is was not a tank. She said, "it's got armor, it's got a gun, it's a tank".

I said it last week. She will have an ear piece in and will not play with her hair or uncover one ear the entire time.

From what I read in the threads last night, the camera angles and her hair hid one ear the whole time she was on camera.
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Joe Biden at September 11, 2024 09:07 AM (Zz0t1)

Just reading Que Mala's body language last night, I thought she probably had an earpiece.

Basically, it's why she looked so childishly reactive.

If Trump scored a hit, her face would fall and she'd look kinda stupidly fearful or blank, then after a few seconds of, I guess, someone yelling into her earphone, "Smirk, damn you! Smirk like the wind, damn you!!!!! Put your chin on your fist and smiiirrrrkkk!!!"

Trump got under her skin several times. But, I'm guessing the earphone and unprecedented help from ABCcommiehacks helped a lot.

Or, a couple of weeks of electric shocks and dog treats, trained her well-enough for this "Debate".

660 the problem is the republicans will continue to make the same mistakes they always make...going to unfriendly venues...o.k.`ing openly hostile moderators picking dem-favorable topics...moderators only fact checking one side...

and this time it was blatantly in your face.....it will only get worse now that this openly hostile format precedent has been set...

we lucked out with cnn because biden was a compromised husk...

my question is,"are these poor decisions being made by quislings from within?...or are we just this delusional thinking trump is super human?"...because when the deck is stacked to this extent,trump is going to get drubbed...

we can`t keep handing them the cudgels with which they will beat us to death...

665 I think Trump performed fine last evening. Seriously. His job was not to have a Gerald Ford moment (Eastern Europe is not dominated by the Soviets).

Kamala on the other hand - needs to introduce herself to independent and non-committed voters. She totally failed on that mark and it will haunt her. That is why so many of the focus groups still come out in Trump’s favor. Reuters did a write up of their focus group - 6 went to Trump 3 to Kamala and 1 undecided still.
