Kameleon got so tired of being called a coward for running away from interviews and dodging questions that she finally agreed to do an interview on FOX News, grudgingly so I should add, where she ended up doing the same things she's been doing since she got selected by the democrat elite (nobody voted for her) to represent the democrat party. 🤣 We all know what Kamaliar is going to do when she's asked a simple question: 1) Dodge the question 2) Blame Trump 3) Repeat 1 and 2 That's exactly what she did in that FOX interview. Apart from that fact that she intentionally arrived 17mins late for the interview, it fact it got so bad that members of her team started waving their hands to Bret, the interviewer, to stop the interview, because the questions were getting too hot for Heels Up Harris to handle. 😂. She just keeps making it easier for the Independents who've been on the fence about whether to vote Trump or not, to finally agree to vote him. They'd rather take Trump's proven workable policies, as well as his mean tweets, than risk a continuation of that disastrous Hawk Tuah Heels Up Harris The Kamaleon. She's literally the worst candidate to ever run for office of the President. November, please come fast so that Americans can kick that incompetent dunce out of the white house. Kamala, You're Fired!!!!! 😎 |

raumdeuter:You're here trying to defend Baier doing your Captain Intellectual Dishonesty thing. While Bret Baier, having been getting roasted came out and tried to pawn it off as it was some mistake (BS). The question you should ask yourself is why do you always get fooled and feel the need to double down on BS.

IjeBos:Bret Baier was not the reason Kamala was dodging questions all through and couldn't answer basic questions Baier: More than 70% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track. If you're turning the page, you've been in office for 3.5 years Kamala: "And Donald Trump has been running for office." Baier: "But you've been the person holding the office." |

Pennsylvania. Trump Voters have received an anonymous letter threatening them not to vote for him. FBI I'm sure will investigate and catch the culprits in a similar way to the White House cocaine saga..Some of those who received the letter had Trump signs in their backyard. https://thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-anonymous-letters-threatening-violence-mailed-to-trump-supporters-in-pennsylvania Democrats are fighting to "save our democracy". Crazy people. Elon Musk is holding a rally in Pennsylvania for free speech and right to bear arms. He has a petition , you sign up and get $100 plus for every referral you make. Checks will be mailed to the registered address on the voter registration database. He is targeting 1 million signatures. https://petition.theamericapac.org/

basilico:Kamala Harris' new commercials identify her economic plans. 1. going after price-gougers. she n her handlers did not admit that the government printing press is a factor in the cause of inflation. Just as the Soviet Union used to scapegoat black marketeers Kamala scapegoats unnamed price-gougers 2. Promise to crack down on landlords for charging too much for rent. so how much is too much? 3. This one I cannot fault, a legit way to fight rising housing costs but it is a very slow solution. Harris promises to solve the problem of skyrocketing housing prices by causing the federal government to build more homes. |

bemeruca:Actually, it's you who doesn't understand. This is what my first question was: Do you understand that local production also involves imported raw materials/parts? Therefore, an increase in tariffs is also going to cause the manufacturers to increase the price of these locally produced goods? And you go on about cars which are finished goods. Lemme help you understand. The US does not produce palm oil, so it has to import it exclusively and it is a raw material for at least 12 different products including soap, chocolate, pizza, cookies and so on. Trump says he will impose 20% tariff increase on ALL IMPORTS not just finished goods so what happens to local production of these aforementioned goods if that happens? which is why tariffs on imported goods will help and also cutting taxes will help as well. Most of those jobs go abroad due to high taxes.NO. Most of these jobs go abroad due to cheap labour. As far back as the 70s and 80s American manufacturing jobs started getting sent to Asia where they could easily set up sweat shops to produce goods cheaper. It had little to do with taxes. And Republicans were in power for most of the 80s so definitely not tax related. you only put tariffs on competing goods. tariffs are not meant for all goods.Trump said ALL IMPORTS are getting hit with tariffs. Yes, it's true you impose tariffs to bolster local production on competing goods, but Trump is not limiting his tariffs is he. ask Joe Biden. it is his economyHuh? Was Joe Biden president when Trump started selling his Trump branded shirts, ties and cuff links? And note I am not talking about MAGA T-shirts. These where stuff he was selling even before Obama was president. call it whatever you want but joe biden did not touch the tariffs trump put in place and he did not attack the tax cut muchTrickle down economics didn't work when Trump was president so doing more of what didn't work won't make it work. |

How is this allowed. Undercover OKeefe Media Group secretly recorded FB Senior engineers explaining how they throttle and shadow ban pro Trump posts on Facebook. Video here.
Excerpt. Usually the disinformation we saw was pro-Trump… We’ll investigate, and then it goes just up to another team to take it [the post] down,” admits Matthew Fowler, a Software Engineering Manager at Meta, during an undercover date with an O’Keefe Media Group journalist. Fowler emphasized that Meta’s investigations often rely on mainstream media for verification, stating, “The news is going to do their job, and then based on what the outlets say… you have to trust that.” Plamen Dzhelepov, a Machine Learning Engineer at Meta, agreed, “Meta has the right to suppress anything,” acknowledging the company’s political bias by noting, “they’re biased if they do that against the Republicans.” Dzhelepov detailed Meta’s censorship capabilities, confirming they target “crazy conspiracy right-wing people,” actively demoting their opinions. Michael Zoorob, a Data Scientist at Meta, described the fact-checking process, stating, “the fundamental problem is that… the vast majority of what fact-checkers label as false is shared by conservatives,” admitting that any policy demoting content labeled false by fact-checkers disproportionately affects conservatives. When addressing misinformation, Dzhelepov explained Meta’s approach: “it’s either censored or it says a [community note] thing, where it says, ‘this is disinformation, it’s probably fake’ under the post,” adding that Meta “actually suppresses certain voices.” Zoorob also recalled how Meta had downranked the Hunter Biden laptop story upon the FBI’s warning, stating, “We just downranked it,” making the post less visible in users’ feeds.” This is why the left hate X. They had complete control of Twitter and global control of information. |

raumdeuter:Kamala Harris had warned about Rafah. Any major military operation in Gaza would be a huge mistake,” US Vice President Kamala Harris told ABC News in an interview aired Sunday. “I have studied the maps; there’s nowhere for those folks to go, and we’re looking at about a million and a half people in Rafah who are there because they were told to go there,” Harris added. Sinwar would be still be alive had she got her way . Biden urging for a ceasefire and negotiations for hostages as soon as possible.Looks like sin- war was planning to escape Gaza . |

Ijebos will in his wisdom and others scream loudly that only a two state solution will work. Yes , the Gaza and West Bank Arabs and Israeli Jews plus other races will coexist peacefully side by side. Yahya Sin-War was long term prisoner in Israeli jail . Doctors saved his life from a near death stroke in Israel, when he was released after a hostage deal swap He became Hamas leader notorious for killing Palestinians and later on any Israel civilian , Jew or no Jew.Any innocent bystander death in pursuit of his murderous ravage was simply collateral damage. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/20/middleeast/israeli-dentist-hamas-yahya-sinwar-intl/index.html Are these the people that Israel is supposed to negotiate for a peaceful existence.Or rather was this subhuman the one to strike a peace deal with Israel. I'm reminded of another Palestinian lady Wafa al Bass who got the best medical attention in Israel, Jewish doctors saved her life. She had a pass to Israel after being treated for severe burns. One day she returned willingly strapped with a suicide vest with intent to blow up the hospital that saved her life. She was arrested at the Eretz crossing where she unsuccessfully tried to detonate her bomb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBDMWvFyjtY Someone tell me how the two state solution will work. Resident Idiot and budaatum. This is a conspiracy too? |

This is a Republican guy who voted for Trump in 2020, asking different questions at Univision Townhall with Kamala and Townhall with Trump. See the way Trump and Kamala answered his questions at different times. You can see for yourselves why the guy would not be voting for Trump again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT5yfkXgc9k |

raumdeuter:Agree. But the poll you showed about independents is a national poll. My point is that if nationally such number of independents are supporting Trump, but still Harris leads when all are combined, then she is gaining an advantage somewhere. Have you checked Trump decline among white women? That is the highest voting block in that category of demography, about 36%. While you guys celebrate Harris decline among Black and Latino men, both which account for only about 15%. You should worry more about Trump decline among white women.

bemeruca:Every problem must be because of someone else Point 1 is because of price gouging not because farmers and manufacturers are having to pay more to produce the same goods so who will pay for the increase in cost of production. Point 2. How much is too much rent? When landlords are paying record high interest rates on mortgages who should bear the cost? Or landlord should be paying for people to live free Point 3. If interest rates come down, developers will build more homes, prices will fall. That's what the free market is about |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 1:10pm On Oct 18, 2024 |
LordReed:Oga, there is a reason I said cars not goods or imports because tariffs are not put on everything. Help yourself understand because you still don't know how tariffs are use especially in the context of Trump. The US produce palm oil so it puts a tarriff on palm oil coming in from other countries not the raw materials. This is the basic thing you are not understanding in supply chain. Raw materials go into a transformation process and become a finished product. Finished product is not equal raw materials. Your country is producing cars, unless you have domestic companies that produce metal, you don't put tariffs on metal but you put on cars. A car is not metal. |

bemeruca:Oga we are discussing Trump's proposed tariffs not how tariffs work. Trump said he was going to tariff ALL IMPORTS. The US DOES NOT produce palm oil so if Trump puts a tariff on it that will increase the price of goods that require it for production. |

IjeBos:Ok I'll counter your argument👍 and I'll love you to answer the questions I ask 🤷🏽♂️ a. Trump didn't give them that land because they're black but because it'd ruin his business chances - he had invested billions to that land and the mayor at that time refused to allow him build on it a land that he owned - if he gave it to them he'd lose billions. Question - Did he give the land to white people? This was the same Trump that desegregated lands he bought in the 70s so black people could live there. Also the same Trump that allowed a black woman and her family live in Trump Tower for free- a woman he just met! Trump has been popular way before he became president - no one ever said he was racist simply because he had worked with everyone in show business - Whoopi Goldberg, a Trump hater who he gave a job in showbusiness. He was friends with everyone even Oprah Winfrey, he even donated to Kamala Harris when he was a Democrat - no one ever said he was racist - it was during his bid for presidency with the Republican party they decided to label him one🤷🏽♂️ During his presidency - he signed the First Step Act a first for a US President which allowed people who had been in prison longer than their sentence or have been wrongfully accused to get out of prison - 80% of this people were black - Obama had the chance to do it - HE DIDN'T! because he was scared of backlash. He supported school choice - an act to ensure Black parents and kids in poor Neighborhoods could choose what school they would enrol to irrespective of their location - that would ensure Black kids could school in the best schools. Question- does all this still make him discriminate against black people HE USED THE 'N' WORD IN THE APPRENTICE - Bernie Sanders, Jackie Chan, Justin Bieber, Joe Biden (we have a nig*r mayor, we don't need a nig*r...... he said) Quentin Tarantino have all used the N word in the past. Would that make them racist? That's a question. You forget at that time, most people used the N word not in public and only 36% of people considered it very offensive in the 80s & 90s according to a Washington Post poll. Your most popular white folks all used it. 3rd Question - If he used Barack Obama's Muslim name - How is that racist?? or did the meaning of racism change? 4th Question - Kamala Harris just said she's going to give 1 million dollar loans to Black Men- that means if you're white or Asian or Hispanic if you need that loan - you'll be turned back based on the color of your skin. Would you say that is racist? |

bemeruca:She's saying she's bringing price control - which would ensure even as a private sector business owner - you'll be forced to give a particular price for a commodity no matter what |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 1:47pm On Oct 18, 2024 |
LordReed:Nonsense. Quote Trump saying he will put tariffs on everything. Do you understand economics or tariffs? Did you read my previous post? Also, palm oil is a finished product, not raw materials. How does putting a tariff on imported cars from Europe increase the price of steel? Two completely different things. 🤦🏿♂️ |

This is his tariffs plan.

This is his tariffs plan. rel=ugc href="https://time.com/6972022/donald-trump-transcript-2024-election">Excerpt of Donald Trump Time Interview Let’s shift to the economy, sir. You have floated a 10% tariff on all imports, and a more than 60% tariff on Chinese imports. Can I just ask you now: Is that your plan? Trump: It may be more than that. It may be a derivative of that. A derivative of that. But it will be somebody—look when they come in and they steal our jobs, and they steal our wealth, they steal our country. When you say more than that, though: You mean maybe more than 10% on all imports? Trump: More than 10%, yeah. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 3:00pm On Oct 18, 2024 |
LordReed:Yeah, right, take what he did in his first term; Trump is not stupid. Do you think he will put a 1000% tariff on any product? The problem with you is that you are taking his words literally, even if you have an idea of what he did with tariffs before. He has a good idea and the US market is vital to many countries. His main focus is even US companies producing outside. They will be taxed fully, and on top of that, they will pay tariffs. This guy explains it better.
