It's insane to see the Democrats rewriting the rules to win. They are pushing to legalize anything for power. 

 

Imagine the disaster it would be for America to become a permanent one-party, deeply socialist state if they succeed in winning this election.

 

Most people who do not see this are just probably Brainwashed by the mainstream media. It will be unfortunate if America becomes socialist nation and follow Venezuela. I really hope it will not happen 🙏 

       Doubtful the US would ever end up with just one party--especially these days with Democrats and Republicans so hardened.  Pew Research breaks it down this way: 33% Democrat.  32% Republican.  35% who lean Democrat, lean Republican, don't lean to either party, or don't say.   So, in reality, the US really has three fairly equal large parties, plus some minor ones.   Should either the Democrat or Republican party falter, a new party would likely form, which would likely attract some remnants of the old party, plus a share of the independents and the remaining major party, who might be attracted to the new party's platform.   

      I think the Republican Party's failure to win even 50% of the vote in the last two elections reflects more on the party's poor presidential candidate than on anything else.  Trump has been fielded twice.  He lost the popular vote by 2.8 million in 2016.  Actual voters did not want him.  After 4 years of the worst presidency in history, he lost by 7 million votes in 2020--a disaster for a sitting president.   Again, actual voters did not want him--even more  than in 2016.   2024 will likely result in another large popular vote loss, as Americans for the third time tell the Republican Party that they don't like its choice for president.   Apparently lots of slow learners in the Republican Party.

Relying on the so-called popular vote to make any judgements is an exercise in futility. Nobody can tell what the actual vote would be if everyone thought their vote mattered in choosing the President.

 

As for the Trump years being "the worst in history", well current polling suggests otherwise. Voters prefer Trump to Harris on handling the economy, inflation, and immigration.  Also, pre-covid America under Trump was humming along. Low inflation, low interest rates on loans/mortgages, low unemployment.  Seems a strange recipe for being the worst ever.

On September 25, Patrick J. Lechleitner — ICE’s deputy director and de facto acting head — sent a bombshell letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and 22 other House members revealing that 425,431 convicted criminals — including thousands of murderers and sex offenders — and 222,000-plus other aliens facing criminal charges are on the agency’s non-detained docket of removable aliens, known to the agency but at large in the United States.

As expected, I don't see a quote of Fox News stating Biden/Harris Administration knowingly released a total of 425,431 convicted criminal illegal immigrants". Where is it (not in the articles , obviously)?

 

You've been lied by your own camp.

And here the explanation on how you've been lied:

Quote from the article:

The data isn't only listing people who entered the country during the Biden administration but includes people going back decades who came during previous administrations, said Doris Meissner, former commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which was the predecessor to ICE.

They're accused or convicted of committing crimes in America as opposed to committing crimes in other countries and then entering the U.S., said Meissner, who is now director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute.

"This is not something that is a function of what the Biden administration did," she said. "Certainly, this includes the Biden years, but this is an accumulation of many years, and certainly going back to at least 2010, 2011, 2012."

A 2017 report by Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General says that as of August 2016, ICE had about 368,574 people on its non-detained docket who were convicted criminals. By June 2021, that number was up to 405,786.

       Strange comment, 'if everyone thought their vote mattered...'.   Everyone's vote should matter, and be of equal value.   It is indeed sad that the Electoral College results in so many votes not mattering at all, with the votes rendered in some states mattering so much more than those in other states.   Bad system, which 63% of Americans want to get rid of.

      America was 'humming along', as you say, largely due to Obama, not Trump.  Wages were on a steady upward trend under Obama.  Jobs were on a steady upward trend, since 2010 under Obama.  Unemployment was on a steady downward trend, since 2010 under Obama. 

    All of these trends continued under Trump, but they began with the Obama administration.   Since Trump lost in a landslide in 2020, it seems American voters didn't give him too much credit for the economy, or anything else.  

     The graphs below clearly show what I am talking about.  Note 2017, when Trump jumps into the pilot's seat.  The steady trajectories continue, with nary a blip.  The US economy, like a large super tanker, does not turn on a dime.   Of course, the same is true for 2021, when Biden took over the pilot's seat from Trump.  For better or worse, Biden would be dealing with the economy he inherited from Trump.

No argument there. Trump kept a good thing going and made it better.  Covid was the cause of the election loss iMHO.

🚨 KAMALA’S TAX PLAN: ATLAS SHRUGGED IN REAL LIFE?

 

In “Atlas Shrugged,” society’s brightest minds—the entrepreneurs, inventors, and visionaries—are pushed to the brink by policies that punish success. 

 

Kamala’s proposal to tax unrealized gains brings that dystopia to life, threatening Silicon Valley with crushing taxes on paper wealth that doesn’t yet exist.

 

Sebastian Thrun, founder of Udacity, is a real-life Atlas Shrugged character in this scenario. 

 

When Udacity reached unicorn status, Thrun’s wealth looked massive on paper, but in reality, there was no cash to pay taxes on those hypothetical gains. 

 

This policy could’ve forced him into impossible decisions: pay taxes on unrealized income or risk jail—for building something valuable for society.

 

Taxing theoretical wealth risks turning innovators into criminals, making ambition a liability. 

 

Are we headed toward an economy where those who create the most are punished the hardest?

Every day that Trump doesn't win the day is a loss for him.

 

At this point, I am checking for reports from the door knockers in swing states. I can see their results from watching early voting reports. The Republicans are falling far behind in voting, which will bite them badly.

That's probably why Trump has already flip-floped and is now urging Republican voters to use early voting and mail-in voting! 🤣

I disagree ....  she has some medium qualities,  she is likeable by many because of her personality.

 

But she knows zero about countries,  foreign policy,  negotiations,  world trade,  world economies,  religions,  kings of countries,  and many other things .....

 

geeeeze ....  she can't even put two sentences together sometimes,  she does not come across as a person of authority.

Other leaders are laughing at this for sure ...

 

People go through life and get good jobs with high responsibilities ....  but some just don't cut it because they are not at that level of intelligence .....       Kamala is way out of her depth that's for sure  !!

Can you tell us the last president that had all those qualities before being elected ? It would be interesting  to know

The facts that you are giving are just disinformation propagated by leftist controlled mainstream media. There is no point for me to repy to lies. I reply to some only, you should do your OWN RESEARCH. I can just point you in the right direction, I can not make you see the truth. This is something you need to do on your own. My advise - question everything you see on mainstream media. Time to wake up, or we will have no country soon.

This is on TOPIC.  I do not need to answer to all nonsense, lies and disinformation. I just bring facts, and truths. It is up to people to do their OWN research and be informed. Vote wisely or we end up in socialist nightmare.

 

Voting for Kamala will bring disaster to America and world, we will probably end up in WW3. Also it is not about Kamala, it is much BIGGER than her, she is just puppet of oligarchs . Worth watching whole interview to understand all dynamics:

 

🚨 MUSK: “There’s no point in criticizing Kamala Harris, she’s simply the face of a much larger machine. She’ll say whatever is on the teleprompter. She’ll get stuck if the teleprompter breaks…it’s whoever controls the teleprompter who is in charge.”
TUCKER: “Who is that?”
MUSK: “It’s not any one mastermind. Kamala is a sort of marionette with somewhere north of 100 (handlers)”
TUCKER: “I bet you know 80 of them.”
MUSK: “I probably know most of them.” 😂

Kamala Harris is ahead in the polls by a consistent 3 or 4 points. Early voting data shows the Democrats with a strong lead.

 

The Democratic campaign organization is the largest in US history; conversely, Trump neglected to build at the grassroots and is still trying to hire canvassers.

 

It's possible something will happen in next few weeks to change the direction of the campaign, but but barring a Black Swan event, Trump will lose.

 

Here is an intelligence test for @radiogeneris: given the large number of mail in ballots which are generally processed after the polls close, can you understand why you will see reports of big batches of votes being counted late into the evening? Or is it just voter fraud for you?

She said there isn't a single thing she would do differently. She also said she was involved in just about every decision made. 

 

On a lighter note I saw here on The Late Show. Drinking beer. It occurred to me who she reminds me of.... a semi-retired Thai bar girl. No longer pretty enough  to be a star but not bright enough to be the mama-San. Fancy jewelry she could never afford herself,  just greedy enough she will never leave the bar voluntarily. Yet, unable to thrive outside of the bar that we call DC.

 

Given a drink she doesn't like and only accepts because somebody is getting a kick back. I half expected her to break out a set of connect four. 555 me like beer.
