Really? Last I heard, he was in favour of leaving it up to the individual states. He has also in the past supported allowing abortion up to 15 weeks. So you are, as usual, wrong.

Biden's VP went from calling him a racist and hanging around with Klansmen to VP in record time. Care to comment? If you are truly interested in why Vance went from anti Trump to a supporter, I suggest you do a bit of reading, a bit deeper than looking for cheap shots.

You mean the assassin who donated to Joe Biden on the day of his inauguration, and also to a Democratic superPac? THAT 'republican would be assassin'? Sure.

Ah, so a private comment, written to a friend, is of such paramount importance? Gotcha. Not his very impressive life story, rising from Appalachian poverty to serve his country in the Marines and eventually graduate from Yale Law School Summa Cum Laude. Nor his successful writing or career in the private sector. None of that matters. But he once said the "H" word in a private correspondence. THAT matters. Come on, man.

Interesting, my wife said the same thing. Yeah, The Donald showed a set of titanium stones in his reaction to the assassination attempt. The party also started a Go Fund Me campaign to support the other shooting victims, which has raised more than $4.5 million.

You forgot Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!

Excellent choice. He has a compelling personal story, is a good man, a veteran, and will eviscerate Kamala in a debate. He is a serious person and could be counted on to step up to the top job should anything happen to the President.

Might be a great moment in bipartisanship...

You think Trump will be invited to speak at the DNC? Perhaps, after all he IS the vice president according to Biden...

I have to say Trump showed some rather large balls the way he handled almost being murdered. Standing up, acknowledging the crowd, was impressive. And before any naysayers appear, I would ask you this- have YOU ever been shot at? I have, and it is an unnerving experience. Even when it is just part of a training exercise and actually safe (as happened to me), it still turns your bowels to water. For Trump to stand up withing 45 seconds and respond as he did showed guts.

True. Perhaps Biden can start with himself. He's the one who said "put Trump in the bull's eye" just a few days ago. The Democrats' campaign consists almost entirely of ad hom attacks on Trump and catastrophizing what would happen if Trump wins the election. If you want to look for the real heated rhetoric, look left.

Donated to Biden on his Inauguration Day, no less. This whole "registered as a ....." shibboleth is completely uninformative. It has no impact on how anyone votes or feels.

No it doesn't. In Pennsylvania it is a common tactic to register as a member of the opposite party. This allows you to vote in their primaries and potentially screw up their choice of candidates. The shooter also donated to a democratic PAC, and also to Biden on his inauguration day. That may actually show which way he leaned.

Yawn. The Heritage Foundation has been releasing position papers like this since 1981, this is nothing new or unique. This is, I believe, the 10th iteration. Nothing to do with Trump. He may agree with some of their ideas, great. So do I. But it is not a sinister tome written for the purpose of stealing America.

Hey, no lie I am reaping the benefits of the markets too! But for most people, they arent feelin it. They see $4 eggs and are p!ssed off and want someone to blame. And that someone is the President. If Joe did a good read of the ol' Teleprompter today, good for him. It's best for the GOP if he stays in the race.

Track records. The American people weren't buying what the Democrats were peddling, even before the debate. The GOP was ahead on issues like the ecnomy, inflation, the border. Now with the added burden of the intercine war in their party, the Democrats are in a pickle.

It is a pattern, according to the New York Times; A close look at more than two dozen radio and podcast interviews given by Mr. Biden over the past two years reveals a distinct pattern: In appearance after appearance, the president has been served up nearly identical questions, prescreened or suggested ahead of time by campaign staff members. And in nearly every case, the questions set the president up to deliver on-message talking points, without notable flubs. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/11/us/politics/biden-campaign-media-2024.html

ANY Democrat? Not necessarily. But the two you named, sure. What those in the so-called "Lucky Country" choose to name their political parties is irrelevant. Mildly interesting, but irrelevant. My references to Harris are accurate, and important. They are the reasons she was picked as VP. I agree that her skin colour SHOULD be irrelevant when discussing her suitability for office. But sadly, that is not the case. Her pigmentation and the presence of ovaries were key components to her selection as VP. Without them, she would not have been in the running. Trump was very much convicted. And look where that has gotten us- nowhere. As a political attack, it went flat. His trial and conviction have been rather controversial, with many astute observers on the left asserting that it was a purely political witch hunt (eg. Alan Dershowitz, Andrew Cuomo). Hardly fans of the Bad Orange Man to be sure. The Americans have put themselves into a position where they (so far) have to choose between a felon and a vertical corpse. I'll take the former.

Tautologies are generally disparaged by most people in the business of rhetoric as lazy and unnecessary. Like saying "800pm in the evening". Makes one sound a bit uneducated. I would call it redundant.

As long as the interviews are scripted and with very friendly 'journalists', they will probablly backfire. Twenty minutes of gentle prodding from former Clinton operative Stephanopoulis did nothing for Biden.

Thanks, appreciate it. And my character assassination would be different for Whitmer or Newsom, have no fear. No disciple of Trump either, sorry. I was a previous fan of Chris Christie and Doug Burgum. But with the race (apparently) a binary between Biden and Trump, the choice is easy. Love to hear more about my racism and bigotry though. Care to elaborate? Or is it just another inane ad hom attack... ...and enough of the convicted felon nonsense, please. It didn't stick the first time, and won't stick from now on. You'll have to come up with something better.

As absurd as saying "convicted" felon. ALL felons have been convicted, it is baked into the word. It isn't necessary to repeat it, just to make it sound more epic and serious. It's like saying wet water.

'Convicted felon' is the word salad and redundant．But I guess some are too married to it to see.

Better than a non-convicted felon.

All very reasonable. Yet the problem is HOW do you get Kamala to step aside if Joe resigns? She would be fully justified in saying that, as VP, she is next in line. Case closed. I have to admit it would be fun to watch, but...
