George Conway's new PsychoPAC ad playing in south Florida: Trump is a psycho. He's Unfit for Office.

I just think it's hilarious that they can troll trump like this. Doesn't cost much and you know he's watching one or the other. Fox News to bask in the glow of their "stories" about him, and the Golf Channel because that's the only other thing he's really interested in. LOL.

Really? Even I can tell the guy asking the questions is just an overdub and not really there asking the questions. This makes me leery the the whole video. Where did it come from? How do we know it's a reputable source?

How the hell is it undeniable? I don't want say you are gullible, but try to find some additional "evidence" if you can. I'll bet you can't, except for right wing MAGA propaganda websites. Maybe cite a real news organization? Heck, I'll even accept something from Fox News to verify the 14% claim from the video.

Hello??? Chris??? You say the video is undeniable. To who? The MAGA faithful already believes this nonsense. 

Well, I guess it's not important to get substantiated evidence if you agree with that video. It's what you want to hear and no other facts will move you from the "facts" you've been fed.

This immigration issue is bullshit, but not the fact that there is a problem. Yes, something needs to be done. A bipartisan bill, your so called common ground, was negotiated in the Senate, but then killed by Trump so he could use it as a campaign issue. 

https://www.voanews.com/a/on-immigration-reform-us-has-accomplished-next-to-nothing-in-decades/7641193.html

"Last October, Senate Republicans insisted additional aid for Ukraine must be tied to a bill addressing security at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The border legislation, negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators, was rejected by most Senate Republicans and some Democrats in February when Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump objected to it.

Shortly after the February vote, Senator Chris Murphy initiated talks with other senators to draft a bill that could receive sufficient bipartisan support, hoping to overcome opposition from both Democrats and Republicans.

The resulting new bill, similar to the bill proposed in February, failed less than four days after it was introduced.

"Cornell University immigration law professor Stephen Yale-Loehr says immigration reform is dead for 2024."

“For a variety of reasons,” he said, adding “immigration reform has always been hard to get through Congress. … Donald Trump wants to make immigration one of his key pillars of his campaign. So he basically killed the efforts in the Senate and the House earlier this year.”

So, we could have had substantial immigration reform, but your presidential candidate needs to issue to get folks like you all riled up getting your panties all in a bunch to bitch and moan about illegal immigration.

If elected maybe Trump will get something signed into law, but if it's anything like his effort for getting an infrastructure deal passed don't count on it.

The website is called "WokeSpy," and its stated mission is to battle "woke" ideology and its radical policies that threaten to destroy societal norms and institutions. Then, in the same breath, they claim they are dedicated to honest and unbiased reporting and journalism. Those two claims are completely at odds with one another, aren't they? The first rule of critical thinking is to consider the source; honestly, this source is about as bad as it gets.
Seems Chris Pagan, as Rush Limbaugh used to say, is a drive by.

He makes an outrageous claim from a questionable source and then runs away and hides.

Harris picks Tim Walz as VP choice

Posted By Jim Moscheck

I really don't know much about him. I was hoping for Kelly from Arizona, but picking him could complicate things if they win and he leaves the Senate.

Fair and balanced is what I always say. LOL.

When starting a thread I try to post links from moderate to conservative sources, but obviously can't all of the time. I try not to post links to stories from MSNBC or other much farther left websites.

Not like some of the folks here whose links are questionable to say the least.

Harris picks Tim Walz as VP choice

Posted By Jim Moscheck

Well, after listening to Walz speak in Philly I gotta say I like him. 

Besides, anyone who quotes Warren Zevon is alright in my book.

Speaking of crowd size here is Trump's crowd in Philadelphia at the same arena.

Her crowd today was packed in tight including all of the upper seating level.

Okay, fair enough, although I find it pretty funny you think it is disgusting considering your candidate(s) deeds and actions. All I can say is I'm more hopeful than I was a month ago.

Do you think Trump and Vance will debate Harris and Walz?  

And I though crowd size matters and was relevant, at least that's what Trump is always saying. He has been complaining recently that there were 1000's outside trying to get in but couldn't. Probably the deep state working with the SS and FBI to keep people out, huh? yeah, that's it. I think people are sick and tired of the prospect of an crazy old man with no real policies. A VP pick of a weird preppie east coast Yale graduate, who is financed by the elites in Silicon Valley, doesn't help with midwest farmers once they get to know him. That'll be a job for Walz.
