But I guess yours is a reliable vote for Trump.

He's not even American.

Florida might matter. Check the news.

Headline in NY Times this morning:

 

Harris Puts Four Sun Belt States Back in Play, Times/Siena Polls Find
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in close races across Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina, crucial swing states that Mr. Trump had seemed en route to run away with just a few weeks ago.

 -- but not Florida.

Sorry, what was there to dodge? And have I insulted you? 

My post: 

And while all those things could well be true, as far as I know, Trump wants to close the border, does not want to mutilate children's genitals, and he supports meritocracy over DEI. That's enough for me, so I'll go with the worst homo Sapien in the USA, but thanks. 
 
But I understand how important mutilation of children's genitals, keeping the border open, and ending meritocracy in favor of DEI are to you, so you should support Harris-Walz, they support those things as well.  
 

 

Your response: 

As I've mentioned before, I have voted on both sides. But every candidate ever, has had policies and ideas which I don't support, whether a Dem I support or an Rep. This is nothing new and is true for everyone and surely including you...if you care to admit it.

 

But how you can buy into and support a man that lies incessantly. And yes exaggerates about everything excessively/egregiously. And is a tax cheat, a charity scammer, a grifter, a con man, an abuser of women, ignorant beyond comprehension...and an un-American, insurrectionist, whiny little bitch with total disregard for the Constitution and rule of law. Overall an abhorrent piece of 💩. 

 

But hey, I have no idea nor understanding how all those "fine" qualities of your orange deity and cult leader are to you. But apparently they are right up your misguided alley. Keep on drinking the Orange Kool-Aid 

 

Okay, 

But how you can buy into and support a man that:

Lies incessantly. Most of the "lies" are out of context jokes or exaggeration, and none of them seem very consequential to me. I believe he did his best in office to do what he wanted to do. His opponents lie incessantly, yen no one seems to care about that, and their lies seem much more consequentialness to me. 

Exaggerates about everything excessively/egregiously. So? I think most of it is funny. 

 

Tax cheat. Really? How so? 

 

Charity scammer. Really? How so?

 

Grifter. Really? How so?

 

Con man. Really? How so?

 

Abuser of women. I see no evidence of that. 

 

Ignorant beyond comprehension. I see no evidence of that. 

 

Un-American. Really? How so?

 

Insurrectionist. Yet was never charged with, much less convicted of it. 

 

Whiny little bitch. Really? How so?

 

With total disregard for the Constitution and rule of law. Really? How so?

 

Overall an abhorrent piece of 💩. Of course, but up until he beat Hillary Clinton loved 

by most everyone on the left. 

 

To me you seem to just be regurgitating the same idiocy the all the other leftists are regurgitating. You have no credibility. 

 

 

 

 

Trump was Democrat until 2015. They loved him.

I dislike Harris that much that I'd vote for Trump, if I could.

Musk supports Trump. The left have gone so crazy an EV guy does not want to vote for them. Musk also indicated there are many years to address climate so the left has been lying for many years.

If that is accusing me of having anything to do with Auckland, go sit on the naughty step. IMO if Auckland were to sink beneath the waves tomorrow most of NZ would be cheering.

Not for nothing are residents of that blighted city called JAFAs.

Florida is now in play because ABORTION policy is on the ballot.

Why are you against American expats being allowed to vote?

Because they don't pay the 30% increase in prices.

Florida isn't one of them. And most all those contacted by the various polls know abortion is on the ballot.

 

As to being against expats voting, I am not against it. I just found that the questions were too intrusive in that voter registration is public record.

[spidermike007]

Here is what Trump has done for America!: Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected. Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote. Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned. Only 1 President has ever been criminally indicted. And only ONE President has done ALL FOUR. -

DJT didn't lower taxes (He deferred them) -

He didn't get Americans that healthcare coverage -

He did not unite the USA, he divided it -

He didn't lower prescription drug prices -

He didn't get roads or bridges built He didn't decrease the deficit -

He didn't end the opioid crisis -

He made over 250 visits to his golf clubs costing us taxpayers $150 million -

He didn't revive the coal industry -

He didn't make covid-19 'disappear' He didn't make Mexico pay for the wall 

He is ranked the worst President in history 

He added $2 Billion a month in tariff costs to the American consumer

He has a net-negative jobs creations for his administration 

He decreased corporate taxes, passing the tax burden to the workers 

He added $ 7.8 Trillion to the deficit - a full 25% of the total deficit 

He incited an insurrection against our government 

He is the only president to never achieve 50% approval. 

He didn't put "America first" and he sure didn't "Drain the Swamp... 

He left office with the worst job numbers of any President since the Great Depression with a net job loss over his term 

He is the first former president to be a CONVICTED FELON (34 times).

 

These are all good reasons NOT to vote for Trump.

Trump will win primarily because the left is pro islam and absolutely destroying themselves with all this anti aamerican rhetoric. They dont even know who our allies are

Worth repeating...

[spidermike007]

I believe Trump started this hyper inflationary cycle when he declared an insane trade war on China and Huawei, with hardly anything to back him up, other than hollow threats, and sanctions, which only hurt the US economy, and US consumers and businesses. The Chinese sensed sanctions coming and went out and cornered the world market on rare earth, chips, motherboards, circuit boards, and other materials. Companies started ramping down production due to Covid. When they started to order these elements and parts, none were to be found or the price had skyrocketed. It started a massive supply chain issue with cell phone, computer and automotive components. Then the shipping issues came later. 

 

Few want to look back at where this started. At the time I said it was the single dumbest thing a politician had done since Chamberlain denied the bad intentions of the Nazis. Trump created hyper inflation, singlehandedly.

Thanks, Don.

True. But to add per Florida expat voter registration, they ask what are your intentions on relocating to Florida? and then they ask for a daytime telephone number in case they have any additional questions -- like what?

 

And I note your topic here which is why I won't be registering absentee:

The Himalayan glaciers are melting due to Climate Change caused by a buildup of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide trapping heat in the lower atmosphere. Most of the additional Carbon Dioxide is due to human pollution. Internal combustion car engines are responsible for some of that additional CO2.
