Mitchell I'm certainly not endeared to Trump. He's so narcissistical, egotistical, megalomaniacal, and probably a few other adjectives, but it's NOT him. It's the policies that I approve of and vote for. I don't own ANY Trump paraphernalia.
You are in a very small minority of the GOP. There were a few candidates about 3-4 months ago that had virtually identical policies and were rejected by the GOP. The vast majority of the GOP are worshiping a false idol. The others are enabling.

What are both of your thoughts on the policies in the Project 2025? I would be just fine with the military assisting the border, after passing the bill that the Senate had put together in bipartisan fashion. Much of the rest is scary horrible. Do you agree with Trump’s policy to stop the border bill, so Biden wouldn’t get a political win? Which took years of negotiations. What about the policy to call the 2020 election a fraud and Trump the real winner? Do you think Biden should adopt that policy if he is voted out?

Porktown You are in a very small minority of the GOP. There were a few candidates about 3-4 months ago that had virtually identical policies and were rejected by the GOP.
That's true, but Trump was already coronated long before Pennsylvania's and quite a few other states' primaries, or my dilemma would have been: should I go DeSantis, Haley, or Burgum? They all bailed 'cause the Trump groundswell was too big. On Project 2025, I'm totally against nearly everything, (possibly all) of the things they stand for. Born of the extreme right fringe of the Trump Administration by ex-employees, even Trump, though admitting he knew the president and chief officer, has dis-avowed their agenda. They have a budget of around $20 mil but they're gonna go nowhere. Donations to them are extremely weak and come from grass roots type individuals. The American public would reject them soundly if only they knew what they really stand for. But America's never gonna know 'cause the mainstream media will not tell them what 2025 is advocating; they only report that their agenda is bad and that Trump supports them, which is BS. But that's the way it is in politics. It is low down and disingenuious, which is normal, but I believe the media not reporting the full story is election interference. JMHO!!! While we're on the subject, I certainly wouldn't mind the Freedom Caucus toning it down a bit and moving a little to the center. Two of their members recently lost their primaries to their challengers. Freedom Caucus is possibly the biggest problem why nothing gets done, (or done right) in the House.
Whenever you want to know what the Democrats are up to, watch what they accuse the other side of doing.

Dang it!! I forgot to comment on the border bill. Trump was right and the House was right to shoot it down. The so called "bipartisan" bill originated in the Senate by a committee of 'Crats and Republican RINOs. It still would have allowed 1.8 million illegals in per year, and gave power to the President to say WHOA! only after the crossings hit 5000 per day. I don't know how any politician, let alone Republicans, would present a load of crap like that. Had that passed, you can be sure the coyotes would have had 4,999 lined up at the crossings each day 'cause they're not about to give up their cash cows. The real border bill which would have mostly cured the problem was passed in the House a year ago in July. It is called HR1. It's been sittin' on Schumer's desk in the Senate ever since, and he's not gonna put it on the floor for a vote 'cause it may well pass with a bipartisan majority, and that would really put Biden on the spot for a veto. It's a sure thing that some Democrat senators also want to curb the illegals.

Ask your wives or girlfriends or daughters, or any actual woman you have ever met in your life, whether they think it’s a good idea to provide tampons and pads to kids in school.
Do you right wingers just hate women that much? Or are you really that out touch with actual women that you think this is something to attack him on?
Good luck with that.
My Idiot he got the name because he has spent hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars putting them in boys rooms. I including if you know any would considerer that bizarre don't you think your boys have put men in girls rooms and in girls sports and now menstrual products in boy's rooms.I guess this is the new Inclusion part of their DEI.
Oh ok I get it. You hate women AND trans people too. Of course, how could I forget.
https://allianceforperiodsupplies.org/period-products-in-schools/ Terrific Tim.... Thank you for helping the kids. Next the right will be saying the schools are putting Kitty Litter boxes in the school rest rooms for kids that dress like a Cat Fox news puts out so much FALSE info on Some of their shows without backchecking or just to start fake rumors to make people look bad. They are only hurting themself on this election just like the last one. Could be a landslide if they keep giving free ammo to their opponent.

The rallies are drawing big crowds too, maybe even bigger that trumps. And they are trolling Trump hard for it too. Last night in phoenix, walz reportedly said something to the effect of “this is the largest political gathering in the history of Arizona… but who cares about crowd sizes”. As somebody who has spent time performing on stages, it gets easier and you get better at it when you do it more. Harris has been the presumptive nominee for less than a month, and Walz less than a week. I’d say they are just starting to get the hang of campaigning like this. Trump was campaigning in Bozeman Montana last night, I guess because they are going hard to win tester’s senate seat? Somebody should tell him he might have bigger problems to worry about right now.

What you talking 'bout, He has the biggest crowds ever, greatest of all time, never seen anything like them before, bigger than M.L. King's freedom speech! Last night shortly after he started talking about "fat" people I saw some people heading for the exit. They had to find a new menu to have the Harris rally in Michigan. There were 46,000 requests within 3 hours to attend. Trump vs M.L.K. https://www.usatoday.com/...mparisons/74727328007/

Yeah, but that is "PAR" for the course for his imagination. He said his Inauguration speech was the largest in the history of the USA "not even close", "never seen anything like it before" That was on day one. The reference to M.L.K. was a few days ago. Oh well it is good to dream. https://www.nytimes.com/i...nauguration-crowd.html

Or vote for it. Might be the best option right now. Rather strange partnership of Musk and Trump. If Trump can convince his base to all go out and buy Cybertrucks, I might just be convinced that he has Jedi powers.

Best part of Trump / Musk interview was when they were both laughing at what a great idea it was to just fire striking workers. I guess they forgot that Trump and the Republican Party is trying to pretend they are workers’ champions for this election cycle. I guarantee that ends up in an attack ad lol.

Both Trump and Harris are proposing “no taxes on tips”. If you thought the trend of just about everywhere asking for tips has already gotten out of hand.
If the coffee shop employee is going to ask for a tip to do their job, why shouldn’t the butcher, mechanic, or carpenter? Businesses love it, since they pay the employee less and taxes on that employee less, but won’t lower their prices to compensate. It is like, hey, the US consumer is already used to inflation, let’s hit them with round two.

I'm interested to see Walz's return to be honest. There were some preliminary reports that he actually is a regular middle class guy, financially speaking. Even after being in Congress and Governor.. I guess that a teacher's pay, supplemented with National Guard pay isn't the recipe to compound wealth??? The article that I read, said he owns no stocks or bonds... The little that he has in the market is in a student 529, about enough to pay for a half semester. He even turned down the pay raise he was voted to receive as Governor. I can see that if coming in with $Ms/$Bs, but that is just plain stupid if living off of retirement funds (which I am sure are good retirement plans). I thought Congressmen were supposed to know better and load up on stocks they are making policy on, then deny it? But, yes, he did say that he carried a weapon of war in war and didn't go to an actual combat zone when deployed to assist the war. So, completely untrustworthy for making that comment. Others can make $B's off of ripping average people off for decades and is completely fine. Heck, some can make $Ms off of bankrolling companies that make fentanyl and people will still vote for the guy. Let's not pretend that is the same as "you have investments, do you know exactly what every one does"... If I am the fund manager, selecting these companies to invest $Bs into and making $Ms in the process, I better well know exactly what those companies do.

Untruthful dig? Look it up. $1.7M investment while CEO to the company that makes 90% of Chinese fentanyl. Sorry man, but if even think to be in politics, $1 invested in that company is far too much. https://keystonenewsroom....mick-chinese-fentanyl/By the way, ripping of $Bs was a general dig at about 80% of all national politicians. Nancy Pelosi pretty high up on that list.

1.7 million is chickenfeed, considering the investment was coming from a multi-billion dollar company and going into a multi-billion dollar company. Humanwell Healthcare is listed on the US stock market and is a major provider of some of the products you can buy in your local drugstore; products such as pain relievers and also they're big in women's health & reproduction. So now he's pulled out. Big deal! I'd bet some of your favorite democrats in Congress hold paper on the same company. Are ya still cryin' about the mansion in Connecticut too? He sold it nearly two years ago.

You do realize what a hedge fund does and the CEO that oversees everything correct? He ABSOLUTELY knew what this company does and 90% of Chinese fentanyl. A lot of extremely sketchy companies sell stock, being listed means nothing in terms of being complete trash American killers. It is your choice of who you invest your money with, but 99% of Americans don’t have a clue of what they invest in. So, your argument would be just fine for people like us. I’m not going to give anyone here crap for having a mutual fund that happened to invest in this company or any others that are completely sketchy. Heck, even if you have $5k in this company because you were looking at fundamentals only and saw what you thought was value. The guy knows the system, which is completely different. Fine if you want to look the other way for politics. Defending it is something that I would hope is heavy on your conscience. You are a good dude.

So 2 years eh? In 2022, when he ran for Senate, stepping into the field after Abuser Sean Parnell (You remember, the guy who choked his wife?) Dropped out, and he lost a very tight race to TV's Dr. OZ? That's 2 years ago right? ^(What an insane situation that actually happened) C'mon Mitch, they play these games right in front of you.
