    'Wannabe dictator': Outrage as Trump tells fans 'you won’t have to vote anymore'

    by Daniel Hampton July 26, 2024

    https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-2668822314/

     

    “Former President and current Republican nominee Donald Trump raised eyebrows — alarm — when he told MAGA supporters on Friday evening they will only have to vote in the 2024 election — and won’t have to do so again.

    After questioning why Catholic and Jewish people would vote Democrat, the president remarked Friday at his rally in West Palm Beach, Florida, that supporters have to “get out and vote.”

    “You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.”

    “Caty Payette, communications director for Sen. Martin Heinrich, wrote on the social media app X.

    “The only reason they wouldn't have to vote again is there would be no more elections. F this wannabe Dictator,” said @A_tothe_Z_Amber.”

    JD Vance ridiculed after dolphin-based social media post backfires

    By David McAfee Raw Story July 26, 2024

    https://www.alternet.org/news-politics/vance-dolphins/

    “Republican Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), a staunch ally of former president Donald Trump, was the subject of ridicule this weekend after attempting to post a photo on social media that took aim at content that could be found on the internet.

    The Ohio senator was mocked on his own social media post because of a picture that he shared which showed a dolphin apparently attempting to mate with a woman.

    "Maybe the internet was a mistake," Vance posted Saturday with the picture, which was captioned with: "Woman gets violated by a dolphin and enjoys it."

    The problem, according to the commenters, is that the words "woman" and "dolphin" were highlighted in the image, suggesting that whoever took the screenshot apparently searched for those exact terms.”

     

    Why is this Vice-Presidential candidate searching for bestiality on the Internet? And then writing about it?

    What the F?

    In response to the (Donald Trump)  speech, a spokesperson for Harris, the frontrunner to become to the Democratic nominee for president, earned applause from supporters as she clapped back at her Republican rival.

    "Tonight, Donald Trump couldn’t pronounce words, insulted the faith of Jewish and Catholic Americans, lied about the election (again), lied about other stuff, bragged about repealing Roe, proposed cutting billions in education funding, announced he would appoint more extremist judges, revealed he planned to fill a second Trump term with more criminals like himself, attacked lawful voting, went on and on and on, and generally sounded like someone you wouldn’t want to sit near at a restaurant — let alone be President of the United States," said James Singer.

    Harris added that America can “do better than the bitter, bizarre, and backward looking delusions of criminal Donald Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris offers a vision for America’s future focused on freedom, opportunity, and security.”

    - J.D. Vance -
    Having children is good. Not having children is bad.
    We should reward good and punish bad.
    Therefore we will lower taxes on families who have children, and raise taxes on families who don't have children.

     

    Families who have children require more in the way of goods and services, simply because there are more of them.
    Families who do not have children will bear the brunt of of paying higher and higher costs as the demand increases for families who do have children.

    The solution will be for families who currently do not have children, to start producing children so that their tax  burden goes down. This will increase the demand for goods and services as the population goes up, with fewer and fewer paying for it.

     

    This has got to be the most screwed up economic policy I have ever heard of.

    On July 25, 2024, Harris said, "Bring it on."

    Trump backs out of debate as camp says it's 'inappropriate to schedule things with Harris'
    By Daniel Hampton July 25, 2024 
    "Donald Trump is reportedly backing out of a scheduled September debate.
    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-debate-2668817036/
    That's according to Sam Stein, of The Bulwark and MSNBC, who wrote on the social media app X on Thursday night that the decision was made, "given the continued political chaos" surrounding Joe Biden and the Democrat Party."


    "There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party - namely Barack Hussein Obama - that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone 'better.' Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds," the statement said."

    20 hours ago, Joseph McBride said:

    That's a flag on the front of the presidential limousine.

    Joseph,

    Yes. Thank you. I see it now.

    That's quite a sight-line distraction for the driver of the limousine. I hope they've gotten rid of that since then.

    - Donald Trump, speaking of race car drivers -

    "I mean, we appreciate talent, I said, let me use these guys to guide our military a little bit," Trump told his rally supporters. "When you can win so many races, that's okay, you know, you guide. Same thing with coaches, you take some of the great football coaches, you put them at the table. 'What do you like, coach?' Because, in its own way, it's not so much really different."

     

    "When does he ever discuss the policies he wants to implement?" said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS). "All you hear is gibberish from him."

    • J.D. Vance -

      "These children are the future of this country and yet the parents who have them actually have no advantage in our democratic process," Vance told the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in July 2021. "They have a smaller voice in some ways — in very many cases — than the people who don't have any children at all. The children who come from these families have no real representative in our democracy. Why don't we change that?"

    "Now some people will say this is radical and this is crazy," Vance added. "The Democrats are talking about giving the vote to 16-year-olds but let's do this instead: Let's give votes to all children in this country but let's give control over those votes to the parents of those children."


     

    Let's breed a whole bunch of kids so that we can get more control.


     

    Control that's what it's all about.

    Kamala Harris makes Donald Trump do the one thing he fears most: Get up and get out


    With Kamala Harris running, Donald Trump needs to actively campaign — and not just in MAGA country
    By AMANDA MARCOTTE
    https://www.salon.com/2024/07/24/kamala-harris-makes-donald-do-the-one-thing-he-fears-most-get-up-and-get-out/


    "With Harris as the Democratic nominee, however, Trump is caught in a no-win situation. If he continues to hang back from the campaign trail while she's out there hustling, he'll start inviting the questions about whether he's too old and weak, the exact questions that plagued Biden. But if he starts doing more media and events that are outside the MAGA bubble, he will draw negative attention and remind voters why they hate him. In the face of this paradox, Trump's first impulse was to keep pretending Biden is his opponent. As reality sets in, Trump's freaking out. "


    "Trump's entire strategy was based on the assumption of an opponent who didn't have the energy to fight back. Without that, Trump's in serious trouble."

    Joe Biden's brilliant exit: Democrats get a boost, Republicans left bewildered

    By Heather Parton

    https://www.salon.com/2024/07/22/joe-bidens-brilliant-exit-democrats-get-a-boost-left-bewildered/

    "It seems that they (the Republican Party) may not have anticipated that Joe Biden gracefully withdrawing from the race might be seen as an act of selfless patriotism in contrast to their leader Donald Trump, the grasping egomaniac who incited a riot rather than admit that he lost. The contrast couldn't be more vivid"

    - Donald Trump, talking about his new opponent in the race -

    ( Kamala Harris) "has absolutely terrible pole numbers against a fine and brilliant young man named DONALD J. TRUMP!" 

    "Be careful what you wish for, Democrats??? MAGA2024,"

     

    I wonder what "pole" numbers the "young and brilliant" Mango Man is talking about. Stripper poles? North Poles ?

     

    One other thing Trump wrote is, "They also mislead the Republican Party, causing it to waste a great deal of time and money."

    He's complained about this several times now, even going so far as saying the Democratic Party should reimburse him .

    He'll probably wind up suing Joe Biden for dropping out of the race.
