Yeah? Maybe you want to tell the people in the Pro Life movement that.
Isn't it odd that everything you think you know is bullshit.
Trump has changed positions. Oh no he should never, the dinosaurs might resurrect and eat us all.
Kamala Harris has changed positions in the following key areas

Mandatory gun buyback
Fracking
EV mandates
Border Wall
Defund the police.

And we also know high prices are not because of inflation but greedy business hiking up prices according to her.

Decriminalize border crossings
Close the ICE detention centres
Abolish ICE - rebuild it from scratch

We’re not going in circles, you are. Trump didn’t fulfill his campaign promise. He doesn’t need a budget passed, he doesn’t need any money—he needs to make good on his promise and force Mexico to pay for the wall.
You’re telling a big lie. Over 100,000 have been added as a result of the Infrastructure Act. 1,000 new chargers are being added every week.
So this article is lying. Nowhere have I seen that figure you quoted.

Biden Spends $7.5 Billion for 7 EV Charging Stations
Biden’s $7.5 billion EV charging stations program, which promised half a million installations, still has over 499,990 to go after three years. President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in November 2021, allocating $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging, of which $5 billion is dedicated to building a network of chargers along major highways, called the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program. Just seven electric-vehicle charging stations have begun operating with that $5-billion funding, marking “pathetic” progress, as automakers and others

But Trump didn’t say a budget was needed, he said that he would make Mexico pay for the entire wall.
I think we are going round in circles. Pass the damn budget, give him the money and he will build a wall.
Kamala Harris has built how many EV stations from the billions allocated in the Infrastructure Act? 8 out of a suggested 500,000.

No you didn’t. You talked about Paul Ryan, Kamala, and budgets. You didn’t answer my question. My question was what happened to Mexico paying for the entire border wall like Trump said he would force them to do? To refresh your memory, here’s what he said over and over:
I just called him..He was to tax $10 dollars for every car imported from.Mexico over a period of 99 years. Happy? He never have a day when Mexico would pay.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 5:56am On Aug 30, 2024
1stGenAmerican:
Let’s backtrack. Trump’s CAMPAIGN PROMISE was that he would build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. He didn’t say anything about the things you mentioned. He said he’d make Mexico pay for the border wall he promised to build. Before we blame anyone else, let’s talk about the origin of error.
I've already answered that. He does not make the budget, he directs but Paul refused saying $25 billion was unavailable. I can argue that had he gotten the funds to build a wall he would have figured out a way to recoup the expenses from Mexico..Whether it's from a dollar tax for every car imported from mexico over a period of 99 years.😅😅. I don't see anywhere where he said when Mexico would pay .
Then Joe Biden sends hundreds of billions to Zelensky

Actually, Trump is the one drumming up excuses about not muting his mic to avoid the debate. 😃
Next, you quoting the comments on the border wall is hilarious because the guy that promised to build the wall was in office for four years and failed to build the wall he sold his minions on. Kamala was right, it would’ve been stupid to ask taxpayers to pay for the wall when TRUMP told Americans that he was going to force Mexico to pay for the wall? Did you forget him saying that over and over? 😂🤣
Trump built 455 miles walls of barriers and border wall. He was hamstrung by Paul Ryan who refused to factor in the $25 billion required in the budget estimates. Trump used excess defence funds to build a wall not like the one he wanted. A judge stopped the diversion of the money.
Further build the wall built 5 miles of wall , then New York DA went after them claiming they had defrauded donors that every penny was to build the wall. Did Build the wall buy a boat using the funds he set aside for administration expenses? More on that later. Kamala wants $650 million while the remaining part requires around $6 billion to complete, At most she will do 70 miles of the wall. So it's all smokes and mirrors from her.

Trump border wall was opposed by a lot of people within his party and 100% of the democrats.
Paul Ryan abruptly left congress and got a board membership at Fox news.

Excuse me sir, but what? You wouldn’t have to know any of that. You didn’t know any of that useless information when you made an incorrect statement about the stores closing in a ‘Democratic stronghold’ like Cali due to minimum wage hikes. I asked you to explain what caused stores in the same franchise to close in Texas, a Republican stronghold.
Re-read how you replied to me and tell me if it makes any sense—you know that it doesn’t.
Sores closures and downsizing are a normal thing. When you have a state suddenly ramp up one core business expenses ie human capital that would obviously accelerate store closures.
You can't bring yourself to admit that many democrat policies are vote buying endeavors.

This is gibberish, you sound like you have no idea of what happened in Afghanistan



Yes, 13 troops died. Anytime a soldier dies is a tragedy. But, they are troops, there to fulfill missions in dangerous places. If you are this angry about those 13 troops you may want to check out how many troops died in Afghanistan and Iraq.
It's clear your rage is manufactured. That's why 13 troops who died under Biden seem to matter more to you than the 65 who died under Trump.
Preventable deaths caused by the folly of being the one who ended the longest war.
Obama had 1800 deaths of the 2500 who died in Afghanistan alone. Many would not have died,were it not his micromanaging the war and changing Rules of Engagement. Eg don't fire unless those goatherders in civilian gear shoot at you first.

Democrats think they are smart.

Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, 47, was driving a semi involved in a fatal crash on US 285 near Conifer last Tuesday, June 11. Colorado State Patrol announced his arrest two days later on charges of vehicular assault

He has been deported 16 times. A DA recommended he gets 1 year of jail sentence.

That is exactly the point. Biden came in after Trump had negotiated a military withdrawal reducing the US troop force. Biden had to either add more troops to resist the Taliban or continue to withdraw. He chose to withdraw. 13 Soldiers died. All loss of life is terrible but that would have paled in comparison to the loss of life if Biden would have added more troops to continue fighting a 20 year war. Loss of life is terrible, but that is also the nature of war. People monday morning quarterback as if they are comparing to a perfect scenario. 65 soldiers died under Trump, 13 under Biden. If you look back on it, no matter how bad it looked in the moment, it was a good decision calculated by loss of life and the billions of US dollars spent.

But again, when has Trump visited the graves of any of the 65 soldiers who died under his watch? And why do you think some soldiers deaths matter more than others?
Fool. He shoulda known the Taliban was waiting them.out. There was specific intelligence. Instead he pulls troops out in the dead of the night , without telling the afghan counterparts. Thid killed their morale and the afghan army collapsed suddenly after being abandoned.

13 marines plus over 200 afghans dead over a hasty withdrawal and Biden should be praised for only the dead 13 unlike Trump 65. You must be joking , are you?

They also do not speak for the other's buried there. That is the purpose of the Arlington rules.
They took a picture with a gravestone of someone whose family did not consent to that.
Then he took the video and made a campaign ad out of it.
You are better off discussing how cow farts affect climate because no one can prove otherwise,unlike in this Afghanistan situation.
I have just listed two examples showing democrats are degenerates
@Kamala 180 degree on border wall And DOJ saying hand ballots disenfranchises disabled people.

Her previous comments

2017: "Asking taxpayers to pay for a border wall is a terrible idea."

2018: "Funding Trump’s unrealistic border wall would be a gross misuse of taxpayer money."

2019: "Trump's border wall is stupid."

When did the active conflict stop in Afghanistan? Lol. Cognitive dissonance huh?
In Trump's time in office 65 Troops died in Afghanistan.
In Biden's office 13 troops lost their lives so they could leave Afghanistan so that no more troops would die.
65-13 is a win any day of the week.

And again, when did Trump go to the graves at the anniversary of those Troops that died?
Did Trump explain what those troops died for who died under his watch when he decided to surrender and pull troops out?
Retard. The family invited him, they wanted him there.

What were the troops doing in Afghanistan. Helping the farmers grow opium or fighting the Taliban? You ask kindergarten questions.

Lol. What an answer. Lol.
I wasn't sure there were two different Afghanistan's on the map and wasn't sure war zones were characterized differently. Lol.
The depths Trumpers go through to rationalize their cognitive dissonance

So there were 13 deaths in Afghanistan in Bidens 4 years vs. 65 deaths in Afghanistan in Trump's 4 years.
Seems like Biden had the better policy.
And btw did Trump ever go to anniversary of the 65 soldiers that died in Afghanistan under his watch?
It's you blaming trump for the deaths of 65 when they was an active conflict.

It must be tiring defending an unrepentant vulgar racist rapist and felon trump.
Yawn. Why didn't Biden fire his commanders for botching up the withdrawal. Biden the fool thought he would win praise and glory for withdrawing every troop before Sep 11 thus ending America's longest war.

Biden assured Americans last month that a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was “not inevitable,” and denied that U.S. intelligence assessed that the Afghan government would likely collapse. But it did — and quickly

Intelligence failure or just plain stupidity on the part of the commander in chief?

It was probably the same person.
How many anniversaries of those deaths did he attend?

Someone like you who clearly doesn't understand honor and sacrifice wouldn't know what is so wrong with politicizing soldier's deaths.
Twas a war zone with armed combatants duking it out.
You can't compare the two, and for you to bring up that line shows how shallow your reasoning is.

It gets worse. (The grave in question is circled).
Noone was fired for the botched
withdrawal that led to the deaths of the 13 Americans and hundreds of Afghans. Despite a marine sniper clearly having IDed the suicide bomber long before he detonated. Noone was fired for gifting the Taliban around $80 billion worth of weapons and equipment. Noone was fired for not vetting those who were airlifted out of Afghanistan.
Now I saw reports the govt has provided &350 million in aid to the Taliban as a result of carelessness.

But Trump taking a photo at the graveside is such major Probably the crime of the century.

DNC convention..This is a interesting read.

Takeaways
Final year of Trump had 400K border encounters. 2023 border encounters 2.4 million. Trump is to blame for the open borders not Biden and Kamala

Trump name mentioned over 380 times at the convention. Kamala mentioned him 15 times in her speech. How many times she mentioned inflation? Zero.

As for Joe Biden rambling speech he lied that.
*Trump supported neo-Nazis in Charlottesville (lie).
*Trump called dead US soldiers “suckers and losers” (lie).
*Trump promised a bloodbath if he loses (lie).
*Trump supports Project 2025.

This is an entire lie. First off, there’s policy to be followed when visiting Arlington, that was violated.
Trump was there for a wreath laying at the TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN soldier. The soldier is unknown therefore his family is also unknown, so how did they express that they wanted Trump there?
He then took a tacky thumbs up photo in front of one of the graves of those who died in Afghanistan, somwthing that violates the cemetery policy regarding politics. Trump’s aide pushed an employee resulting in an incident report being filed and Family members complained about the incident because it was rude and disruptive. Who wants someone taking a thumbs up photo in front of their loved one’s grave. FYIArlington is a National Cemetery and their policies supersede the wishes of the families of those buried there so either way, he was wrong.
Source? I've mentioned this incident twice in reply to our resident idiot. dailycaller and Breitbart.
The family wanted photos and videos of the occasion. A grieving family should be allowed leeway not play politics.
