Ijebosb can't answer my query on American blue states, he can only show stats showing GDP from blue counties.
An economics question. Every ferkin billionaire makes his money from the downtrodden in society. The downtrodden are consumers. They eat, live in a house, go to work if available, etc. No rich person makes his money from other rich people. And if you trickle down all the wealthy depend on mass market. From Google, Apple, Exxon, HSBC etc. All their income depends on the downtrodden spending because they have to spend on the three most basic needs. Food, clothing and shelter. Food is produced by red states.

I like the way media is hyping up Kamala Harris. In 2020 FB Zuckerburg largely tilted the elections allowable rigging margin via his $400 million donation that paid for drop boxes, get out the vote etc in democrat strongholds. This time he not endorsing anyone and no Zuckerbucks.
Most badass thing he has ever seen? Trump getting shot , rising up, pummelling his fist in the air behind the American flag.

Blackness can be defined in terms of ethnicity (ethnic background) or simply skin colour or tone, and Kamala Harris satisfies both terms.
Her father is Jamaican from African roots, so she is black from her paternal roots.

Her mother is Indian from Thulasendhrapuram, a tiny village in the southern Indian city of Chennai. Their peoples ethnic identity is Tamil and their skin colour is generally darker that the rest of India, being the most southern region.

In terms of race Tamil people are Dravidians.

So if we are to go strictly racist, Kamala Harris race roots are negoid and dravidian
Nonsense. She has always identified as an Indian American.

Trump Today: Harris isn't Black

Trump Advisor in 2020:
Well, I can say no. I think it’s maybe a little bit different. I’ve known her a long time indirectly — not directly very much — and she was always of Indian heritage,” Trump said. “And she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she black?”

“She has always identified as a black woman from a historically black college,” ABC News’s Rachel Scott interjected.


What are these headline about? The media is promoting her as black.

Another attack angle blown to pieces by basilico
I have repeatedly said mainstream media is composed of lying scumbags, assholes and pieces of shit.

Listen to her talking about her Indian heritage.

To make effective conspiracies, you should at least get some basic facts right.

The Commission on Presidential Debates was setup by the Dems and Republicans. They setup 4 debates after the conventions.
Trump bypassed them and negotiated 2 debates with Biden, 1 before the convention, the other on Sept. 10. He also negotiated the venues and moderators.

So, it was Trump who decided the early debate. It was Trump who chose Tapper, he even called him fair 2 days ago in an interview.

You spend an awful lot of time with these conspiracies, spend a little more getting the facts right.
This debate served to knock Biden off the race by not overtly protecting him and thus exposing him. So it was fair because both were given a fair chance . Unlike in previous debates all way from 2016 where she had "blood coming out of her wherever'

Basilico, the Nigerian defender of all things Trump.
In past years, debates were scheduled almost a year in advance (no nominee selected) between the GOP and DNC. There will eventually be a Dem nominee and Republican nominee, so what is the need to dither about a date?
This is a made up argument because Trump is scared to debate.

You can support Trump without supporting all his foolishness.
The debates Trump has had have always been against biased liberal moderators. Not a single debate was fair, in the last one they setup Biden in an early June date, exposing his fraility despite all previous media lies. They wanted him gone, mission accomplished.
Kamala knows probably its Jack Tapper or Rachel Maddow who will moderate.
The presidential debate organisers are majority democrat.

Her candidacy is assured, Mr Man.

There's nothing to wait for.

Obama and Michelle plus the Clintons have endorsed her, so it's all over. She's the candidate.

You guys should admit that Trump is scared of that woman.
Trump will debate her once she is officially confirmed as the democrat nominee.
Obama was for an open primary at first , he called Biden and told him to quit else Kamala would invoke the 25th. They donors withheld funds, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries asked him to step down. George Clooney wrote an oped asking him to step aside
Cornered like a rat, he did and in revenge endorsed Kamala. In short it was a palace coup , and Kamala can still be removed by that group. (Obama took over a week to endorse her). Then all democrats will vote like zombies for whomever they select.

Trump is daring the powers incharge democrat party to make a final decision.

Maybe you didn't know that.
As to the debate itself , the moderators will be liberals who most likely have never said anything positive about Trump, and are currently rooting for her 24/7 as though she is the next best thing since sliced bread. The debate is rigged.

Joe Biden was setup where his mental acuities were on full display.

White dudes for Harris, over 100k on the call, just raised $4m!
Damn! Convicted Felon and rapist trump is cooked.
America is divided roughly into two eventually at election time. Those who vote for Democrats or Republicans. It doesn't take gi-normous effort via social media influencers to raise that number. An influencer with 10M daily followers can raise 200K for a zoom call very easily. Check out Zhang Dayi who sells out anything within an hour.
Contrast to Elon Musk single tweet that gathered over 130 million views.

Maduro should end up in jail. Communists don't cede power peacefully once they get it His electoral body should also face jail time. The Venezuelan AG had been instructed by Maduro to charge the opposition for hacking Dominion machines.

Via Yahoo News
We now have the means to prove the truth of what happened yesterday in our election,” Machado said in a press conference. “In this moment … we have 73.2% of the registries, and with the results they provide, our president-elect is Edmundo González.”

Machado said the actas show that the results were so overwhelmingly in González’s favor that Maduro could not have caught him even if every other vote had gone to the embattled Venezuelan ruler.

“The vote difference in our favor is huge and we won in all states,” she said.

According to the numbers gathered by the opposition so far, Maduro obtained only 2.76 million votes, while González obtained 6.27 million. Machado said she was confident that Gonzalez’s lead, amounting to more than 65% of all votes, will be sustained once they get all the actas, which she hopes will happen tomorrow.
These results tally very well with exit polls.

Democrats who obviously cheat in every election must be shaking in their boots.
In Georgia they now want paper ballots after praising the voting machines for 4 years and stonewalling every audit demanded.
Heads will roll one day over 2020 results.

BREAKING

John Giles, the Republican mayor of Mesa, AZ announced he is endorsing Kamala Harris for President: "Our party used to stand for the belief that every Arizonan, no matter their background or circumstances, should have the freedom, opportunity and security to live out their American Dream.

But since Donald Trump refused to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, Republicans have yet to course correct. The Republican Party with Trump at its helm continues down the path of political extremism, away from focusing on our fundamental freedoms...

In the spirit of the late Sen. John McCain’s motto, “Country First,” I call on other Arizona Republicans to join me in choosing country over party this election and to vote against Donald Trump."

John McCain hated Trump, the people who adored him hate Trump.

'Braindead': Lawsuit seeks to preven
July 29, 2024

A lawsuit has been filed in Florida asking that the secretary of state be told to remove the name of Kamala Harris from the 2024 presidential ballot and that preliminary and permanent injunctions be issued "enjoining defendant Harris from running."

Her fault?

She participated in "a massive fraud under Florida election law … to conceal Joe Biden's debilitative poor health and at best dementia from Florida voters."

The case was brought by lawyer Larry Klayman, who founded both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch USA, and was filed in Florida courts in Leon
"Kamala Harris is a dishonest far leftist political hack who now aspires to be president of the United States. But having participated in a fraud that put our national security at extreme risk by promoting an essentially braindead person, it would be an even greater risk if she were allowed to run for the presidency.......
The action is based in part on Florida law that makes it fraud or corruption for any elected official to "change or place in doubt the result of the election."
Keep her busy in court. Take down her lies. She will be forced to file in court, mainly because the evil media will never ask her, what she knew and when she knew. That evil media covering up every democrat misdeed is the reason we have several braindead ops here.

Kamala Harris extreme liberal record that is being hidden by the media.
Her sterling efforts have resulted in rising crimes and open borders. Americans have been dumbed down by the media, they can't see the Marxist goals she advocates.

Co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation
Backed Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation
Backed banning private health insurance
Supported giving taxpayer-funded coverage to illegal immigrants
Supported banning fracking
Backed defunding the police
Compared ICE to the KKK
Wanted to ban plastic straws
Defended banning offshore drilling
Wanted to “undo” the Trump administration’s border security, taking 94 executive actions in their first 100 days to rescind nealy every Trump-era measure
Supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings
Said she wouldn’t “treat” illegal aliens as “criminals”
Called for “starting [ICE] from scratch”
Argued that temporarily closing the border violated federal law
Raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a far-left organization that pays to bail out of jail violent criminals, including accused murderers and rapists.
Supported Los Angeles’s cuts to their police department
Called efforts to add more police to the streets “wrongheaded thinking”

Actblue is being investigated.
Build the Wall crew were charged with misleading donors that every cent was to be for the wall. Actblue donors don't know that their names are being used to prop up democrats, so in effect any AG from any state can charge the Actblue crew.
A swiss billionaire dumped $20 million which was split into hundreds of thousands of donors and donations enabling Kamala to raise over $80m in one day.
