Only the Norwegians.The U.S. of A on the brink of becoming a Nazi regime! Who the fuck would have thought that?
"A mother mourning her son who died of a fentanyl overdose is not garbage. A truck driver who can't afford rising diesel prices is not garbage. A father who wants to afford groceries is not garbage.
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden ought to be ashamed of themselves."

Are you aware that Puerto Rico has a huge problem with garbage and landfill shortages? That is what he (the comedian at the Trump rally) was joking about, not the Puerto Rican people.
I agree with you.That Tony Hinchcliffe really has a punchable face; at least, I think we can all agree on that!

People make jokes about rats and crime in NYC all the time. Is this offensive to anybody? No, it is not and I doubt that anybody would care if he joked in this way about the City.
The decadent and dishonest are getting nervous.
I can tell you, there's a Norwegian sitting in his jail cell right now, thinking this is a good start.Only the Norwegians.
And remember, Trump doesn't have any real plans for healthcare, only 'concepts of a plan."I mentioned previous times that Trump wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which provides healthcare for 40 million Americans and additional healthcare protections for many millions more.
Now, they are saying they want to get rid of Affordable Health Care in the first 100 days if Trump wins. This would be a disaster. Trump would be a disaster.
Johnson vows health care overhaul if Republicans win in November elections
I'm surprised he didn't mention Social Security and Medicare because they want to cut those programs, too.
Trump sues CBS for 10 billion dollars for election interference.
CBS has lawyers; let them handle it. The networks did everything they could to spread lies, vilify, ignore him, and support his opponents unconditionally. In October, Trump's total assets rose to over 8 billion dollars (American), so he's not doing it for the money. The dishonest tactics of the media and government failed to stop him. Bezos gets it, and the LA Times does, as well.Trump sues CBS for 10 billion dollars for election interference.
Because why not? Seems a bit desperate.
I wonder if CBS is going to counter-sue for 2.5 decillion dollars.
Would you kindly explain how "I never even THOUGHT about ending the Affordable Care Act" and the fact that he's been parroting "We're going to repeal and replace Obamacare" a million times adds up coherently in your mind? Are you unable to see the contradiction, or do you simply not care? Do you admire Trump for his ability to evaporate people's sanity, turning them into his little brain-dead sheep who will only trust him and distrust everyone else, even when he says things that are so obviously contradictory? Do you admire him for being a pathological liar and successfully so? Are these traits that you hold in high regard?
Missed you, my friend! I hope you're doing well in all aspects of your life.And remember, Trump doesn't have any real plans for healthcare, only 'concepts of a plan."
Imagine scrapping a federal law that has been in place for 14+ years (which has benefited many Americans also) with nothing solid to replace it. What a joke.
That video is from seven years ago; it was not for this campaign. In his debate with Kamala, he made his current policy toward Obamacare clear, but she chose to ignore it.Would you kindly explain how "I never even THOUGHT about ending the Affordable Care Act" and the fact that he's been parroting "We're going to repeal and replace Obamacare" a million times adds up coherently in your mind?

If Trump wins, there might be some riots, looting, and other violence but the country seems pretty calm despite the close polls.A quick reflection on recent history: remember the "Arab Spring" a few years back? That's how democracy operates in places like Tunisia and Afghanistan. It started when a fruit vendor, denied a permit renewal in an arrogant manner, tragically took his own life. The population, fed up, erupted in anger, and soon chaos ensued as people set buildings ablaze. That's democracy, Arab-style.
Unfortunately, such upheaval left people with little but ashes, forcing them to start from scratch. By contrast, what made the U.S. unique was that, historically, the runner-up would concede defeat, and their supporters would accept the outcome.
So, as we approach this election — whether it's Donald or Kamala who ends up losing — let's remember: don't burn the place down. Got it
I posted about this earlier in the thread. He said it during THIS election cycle.That video is from seven years ago; it was not for this campaign.
When Obama ran for president, he said, "You can keep your current plan." ACA took my private insurance away and replaced it with far more expensive, inferior plans, which I had been stuck with for years. I am no longer in ACA, but there is nothing wrong with Trump trying to find something better, especially for those like myself who got royally screwed after believing Obama and voting for him. In 2019, while campaigning, Kamala spoke about ending private health care and replacing it with Medicare for all. She changed her tune, and so did Trump.I posted about this earlier in the thread.

Obamacare is even more popular than the last time Trump tried to kill it

And Speaker Johnson said a few days ago that it would be part of their first 100-day agenda to end the Affordable Care Act if Trump were to win the election. It would be a disaster for this country.
The reality is that ACA has helped millions of Americans get insured. I know I've benefited a lot from it—I was able to stay on my parent's insurance until 26. It's a popular healthcare law whether you like it or not (@RunningMan linked the article).When Obama ran for president, he said, "You can keep your current plan."

So we have Obama, Trump, and Harris all contradicting themselves.
Nice to hear from you again, DL, and good to be back before Election Day. I've been going over this thread to see what I miss. The same old same old here Good posts from you and others, too, though.Missed you, my friend! I hope you're doing well in all aspects of your life.
I've stopped weighing in on this thread but still keep up with U.S. and international news. I often find myself perplexed or still forming my stance on some of the big issues, wars, and more. I'm still listening to my soul, funk, and smooth R&B, and I religiously tune in to Conan O'Brien and a few other comedians who bring me joy.
I hope everything is going well for you, and I'm glad you're back on the forum. Have a great day, and see you around. Welcome back!
Trump wants to pardon the January 6 insurrectionists he sent to attack Congress to stop them from certifying the election he lost.Harris and Walz each have substantial track records of supporting those who riot.
Trump did not send anybody to "attack" Congress. If he had, he would be in prison.Trump wants to pardon the January 6 insurrectionists he sent to attack Congress to stop them from certifying the election he lost.
You're insane.
I cannot, because I don't spend my time daydreaming about insane made-up scenarios.Could you imagine living in an apartment complex and being kicked out by armed criminals from Venezuela, who were brought into the country by the current presidential administration?
As soon as you claim that, all of your arguments just plummet. It's all lies and we all know where it stems from. We know the oranges of it!Trump would win in a fair election but is probably going to lose because the election is rigged by those currently in power.
Aurora police investigate claim of Venezuelan gang takeover of apartment buildingYou have no idea what is going on in this country. Could you imagine living in an apartment complex and being kicked out by armed criminals from Venezuela
It did happen. The barbarism and crime that Biden and Harris have unleashed in this country by illegal aliens they allowed in is widespread.Aurora police investigate claim of Venezuelan gang takeover of apartment building
APD investigated a claim of a Venezuelan gang takeover of an apartment building but found no evidence that gang members were in control.
Police chief says Colorado apartment not being 'taken over' by Venezuelan gang despite viral images.
Police deny Venezuela gang has taken over rundown apartment complex in Denver suburb.
Police in the Denver suburb of Aurora say a Venezuela street gang with a small presence in the city has not taken over a rundown apartment complex — yet the allegation continues to gain steam among conservatives and was amplified by former President Donald Trump in a Wednesday Fox News town hall.
Through violence and intimidation, a Venezuelan gang took over the Whispering Pines apartment complex in Aurora and sought to collect up to half of the rent from leaseholders, drying up collections for the landlord, according to a law firm's investigation.
- Venezuelan gang demanded 50% of all rent at Aurora complex, law firm says
At the behest of a lender, the international law firm Perkins Coie investigated the alleged criminal activities at Whispering Pines apartments, a 54-unit complex in Aurora, and outlined an operation that included establishing a "lower-level" presence last year, which then escalated into violence and intimidation, the apparent goal of which was to turn the complex into a steady source of income for the gang.
The law firm said once the gang was entrenched at the complex, it used the units for illegal activities, including the prostitution of minors.[/I]
City officials have since walked back their initial claims.
"The city received the letter and immediately included it in its ongoing investigative work. APD has been and continues to aggressively investigate and pursue any criminal activity reported on or related to the properties owned by CBZ Management," Michael Brannen, a city spokesperson, said in a statement.
The information in the letter, Brannen said, underscored why the Aurora Police Department formed a special task force to investigation violent crimes against immigrants.
"While we are not able to share details and information that could compromise an active investigation, we want to ensure the public that any presence of criminal activity, including gang activity, will not be tolerated. APD continues to identify criminals and make arrests," Brannen said.
