Trump's rambling diatribe

Spice

Trump's Agenda 47 is on his campaign website. Where is it on Harris's website?
I don't bother with websites written and produced by the campaign staff. I want to hear the candidates speak it. Even if a staffer writes the speech, if the candidate is saying it, I have better reason to believe they are in harmony.

Besides, the tradition of the convention is to finalize the party position and nominate the best candidate to lead. Harris is the "Presumptive Nominee" and very likely to be made official. But it takes time to properly develop a working plan. And she still has an active job to attend to, as does Walz.

Trump talks to voters more than Harris ever will,
Yes, Trumps vile attitude and rhetoric brings out the worst in conservatives. I wish republicans were decent like back when McCain was the nominee.

Vance was on many networks this weekend answering questions etc.
trying to not be weird. It didn’t work.

The only policy position we know about is she will not tax tips, and that is a Trump initiative, not something she came up with.
It’s OK because republicans will screw over workers in other ways. Everyone knows it. Republicans just don’t care about ordinary people.

Yes, Trump has had years to form his policy, but if you listen to his rambling press conference there was very very little policy in it. Most of it was complaining and lying about Harris and Biden. And as to Trump's claim of "no tax on tips". If one's employer confiscates the tips of course there will be no tax on them.

Trump talks to voters more than Harris ever will, ...

Talks at, not to, and one can expect this sick trend to continue as he becomed increasingly unhinged.

Today he's rambling on about how the crowds meeting Air Force Two are AI-generated.
Tomorrow he'll insist that the plane itself was fabricated, and that Harris flew in on her broom.​
And, of course, the Trumpeteers will cheer wildly.​

No one is dictating anything. We are just asking why she won't field any real questions about her policies and record? She said today she would an interview before the end of the month. Just like I predicted she won't answer any substantive questions before the convention.
Why? MAGA wants to challenge her race and tell a bunch of lies about it so why should she care what MAGA wants her to do?

Wow, you certainly do believe the right-wing echo chamber.

Did you ever stop and think why Trump has not been willing to debate her? Are you aware of what a "prosecutor" does for a living? Do you think they use teleprompters? So, Harris is supposedly ignorant while Trump is a stunning genius, right? :shrug:

Spare us.
They are going to debate, Trump wants to three times.

With early voting in some states starting in 35 days or so, Why don't you think it is right for her to answer questions from the media? Right now all she is doing is telling us what she wants us to hear and not letting the media ask her questions and challenging her positions and record. Where is her platform? What has she accomplished as VP?

Actually it is the opposite. Trump's initiative was to allow employers to confiscate tips:


What someone tried to do is much more telling than what they promised to do during a campaign.
The rule stated that the employer could keep the tips and share them with other non tipped staff only if they paid a minimum wage to the workers.

Harris was the deciding vote that passed the Inflation Reduction Act that allowed the IRS to start tracking tips so they could be taxed. Do you not remember this?

The dems already nominated her, she is the nominee not presumptive nominee.

Democrats will rally around Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, our Democratic nominees for President and Vice President of the United States.

They had to do it early due to Ohio's date to get her on the ballot. They would have done it early as well if Biden was running.

We have 35 days until people start to vote. We are owed a written platform ASAP.

Taxing tips began back in 1982 after Congress enacted the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) as a means of generating revenue through a series of tax increases, spending cuts, and other measures. The act requires employees to report tips to their employers, and requires employers to ensure their employees are complying with tip reporting protocol. [source]

Reagan was President.

Ok, it is funny how everytime the Trump has a criticism of the dems the dems just copy it and parrot it back to Trump like a 4th grader.

How does she sound like an idiot whem she's the one who can talk in full, complete sentences without rambling?
Ok, I guess she is unburdened by what has been.

Harris was asked in 2021 about how she would reduce inflation, here was her answer:

"Let's start with this: Prices have gone up, and families and individuals are dealing with the realities of — that bread costs more, that gas costs more," Harris said. "And we have to understand what that means. That's about the cost of living going up. That's about having to stress and stretch limited resources. That's about a source of stress for families that is not only economic but is on a daily level something that is a heavy weight to carry."

"So that is something that we take very seriously, very seriously. And we know from the history of this issue in the United States that when you see these prices go up, it has a direct impact on the quality of life for all people in our country. So it's a big issue, and we take it seriously, and it is a priority, therefore," Harris explained.

Uh huh, no duh sherlock.

Then she talked about lowering costs of certain things which is not the same thing as addressing inflation which I guess she thinks is the same.

The scary thing is that the dems don't care about asking her any questions. The media and the dems are actually defending her not answering any questions. That should scare you.

He also wants an audience, and that is likely so he can perform, and doesn't have to debate issues. The guy can't debate issues, he can only spout a series of lies. This is why he doesn't like being fact checked in real time.
With early voting in some states starting in 35 days or so, Why don't you think it is right for her to answer questions from the media?
She has answered some questions as the time has allowed. It just happens to be a situation where the campaign has a lot of work to do to catch up, and get organized. They have done a fantastic job. Let's note that Trump's answers to the media is a catastrophe for him. The last thing Trump needs is answering more questions. He's confused, he get's people's names wrong, he makes false claims constantly, and he looks and sounds ill. His voice on the Musk "interview" was weak and raspy. Maybe his age is catching up to him. Maybe he's not sleeping now that he trails in the polls and faces a future with prison as a reality.
Right now all she is doing is telling us what she wants us to hear and not letting the media ask her questions and challenging her positions and record. Where is her platform? What has she accomplished as VP?
It seems you aren't paying attention to coverage of their events. What media are you using? Far right wing disinformation? She has addressed many of the crucial agenda items from the border, to women's healthcare, to voting rights, to the economy, and so on. Have you noticed the polls going her way? Have to noticed the fund raising going her way? What she has done in the last three weeks is retool the Biden campaign into the Harris campaign, and done so with a competency Trump and his extremists could never dream of.

Well, actually the MAGAs are dreaming up a 180 day agenda that in essence is a retaliation against the US federal government. If Trump were to be elected, would the MAGA extremists be able to pull it off? It's hard to say, but whatever they aim to do it will create absoulte chaos that our adversaries could take advantage of.

Trump proposed three debates. Is Harris going to accept them?
I say set rules so Trump has to debate, and not use the forum to pull a stunt. No audience. Reputable moderators. Fact checking in real time. Can he do it? Or does he rely on lying so much that it's a habit?

And no FOX News, they are not reputable. The two reputable news agencies are fine. Let's note that Trump did not win the Biden debate, he just looked better. Trump lied time after time. He told 162 lies or exagerations in the "press conference" he set up last week.
