Will Harris' Leadership Unite or Divide the Nation?
Hanaguma replied to CharlieH's topic in Political Soapbox
Well, if she had any proven leadership experience we could evaluate. We do have Trump's tenure in office though. And when asked, a majority of Americans think they were better off under Trump than the Biden-Harris administration. Not to mention that Trump is still favoured on the issues of the economy, inflation, and immigration. Still, the uniting or dividing is over. The media (both corporate and social) make too much money on division. How many ".... destroyed by...." videos are there? The days of Clinton and GIngrich having a quiet whisky after work are long gone. -
Harris-Walz Campaign Opts for Media Silence as Election Nears
Hanaguma replied to Social Media's topic in World News
As I have said many times, Trump wasn't my first, or second, or third choice for the GOP. But Harris is the last choice for both parties. She would be a disaster. Frankly, his lies and BS don't bother me much. It is a New York thing, and baked into the pie. I look at his performance during his time in office, his actual policies as opposed to his BS, and it is miles ahead of the Democrats. -

Yeah, Walz definitely fits that bill. I was more the JD type. Just a few years, but full time. So, what have YOU done for your country, other than embarrass it with your tiny-fisted tantrums here? -

You are getting so worked up, your typing is suffering even more than usual. Please do take a break. It is funny that, as a proud American, you use the name of another country as your handle here. -

Your memory that far gone? You know I am from the Republic of Canuckistan. Also did some time in the military, but back in the 80s when we were worried about the Soviets. -

b-b-but Trump! Actually, to be honest I dont think Harris IS flip flopping. She is simply lying. Her actual views have not changed. But she is pandering to the gullible press in an effort to bolster her campaign for president. You saw the true Harris in 2019-20. The version you see today is not an upgrade, it is an avatar. -

No. You are wrong. Walz did 24 years of one weekend a month plus summer training. Vance did 4 years full time, including a tour in Iraq. Please get your facts straight, if possible. -

b-b-but Trump! is not a great answer when talking about the Harris platform. -

Anything that highlights "TRUMP'S 2025 Agenda" really can't be taken seriously. Ditto when she counts abortion as a "fundamental freedom" and gaslights the lie that Trump would sign a national abortion ban. -

History tends to repeat. In 2019, Harris started her campaign for the Democratic nomination with a huge media push and lots of good press. As time went on, and she actually got media exposure, her campaign fell apart. Obviously they are tyring to avoid a repeat. The problem is that she made her unpopular positions rather well known during that campaign. Gun confiscation, 4th amendment violation, banning private health insurance, banning fracking, etc. And now she usualy has unnamed campaign factotums try to roll back her previous policies. As a campaign strategy it has a chance to work, given the generally obsequeous media landscape she has the good fortune to inhabit. But as a moral issue, it is inexcusable. -
Best Song of Past 100 Years? Your Vote?

For feeling and atmosphere, 'If You Could Read My Mind' by Gordon Lightfoot. To drive too fast. 'Black Betty' by Ram Jam. -
Trust those who put their $$ where their mouth is - the bettors.
Hanaguma replied to gamb00ler's topic in Political Soapbox
Fair enough. I should have said, "tries to speak extemporaneously". She can memorize canned phrases and read a teleprompter just fine. I agree that people would like her to speak and finally delineate some policies, but that would be political suicide. -

He has a point. The more Harris opens her mouth, the less people like her. Plenty of chances to trip up before the election and let her mask slip. -
Kamala Harris Expresses Openness to Exploring Reparations for Slavery
Hanaguma replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Fair enough. I certainly don't want to put words in your mouth. IMHO the greatest form of generational transfer would be in behavior, and education. Teach basic finance and economics in school. Show the value of saving and not getting into debt. I am astonished at my younger relatives' ignorance of financial matters. -
Kamala Harris Expresses Openness to Exploring Reparations for Slavery
Hanaguma replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Good idea in theory. But the truth is that a majority of millionaires and billionaires did NOT inherit their wealth. They aren't descendants of Scrooge McDuck swimming in gold coins. It sounds to me you are discussing some kind of confiscatory inheritance tax. Am I right? -

Actually, she is losing a part of the African American vote to Trump. "Nothing on the table" does very accurately describe both Harris AND her 'platform'. -
Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
Hanaguma replied to diceman's topic in Political Soapbox
Yes, both sides were eagerly seeking the all-important Cheney Family endorsement... -
Of course not. Tell me, who actually was given the pagers, and by whom? Not like they were handed out at a Christmas charity event. They were purchased by terrorists for terrorists. Also, what a lovely way for Mossad to roll up the entire terror network. Just look at whose nuts exploded yesterday, and work from there.

Hanaguma replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Yet another word salad pander by Kamala. Manages to say nothing, but takes two minutes to say it. She wants to shore up her slipping support among black voters, especially male blacks. The actual subject of reparations itelf deserves a whole new discussion, but the point here is that there is a bit of desperation showing in the Democratic ticket. -
Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
Hanaguma replied to diceman's topic in Political Soapbox
As soon as you start with the "convicted of 34 felonies" and try to make it sound so epic, you lose most normal people. He messed up the paperwork used to paid a porn star to shut up. "Convicted of 34 felonies" is a crass and childish attempt to make it sound like he is a mass murderer. In the end, all his legal machinations about the election came to nothing. The American legal system is more than enough to handle whatever happens. Seems there is a huge missing link between "Trump wins election" and "Trump becomes dictator". Nobody seems to know how to bridge that gap. -
