Nick Bartetzko Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Ok, so a lot of folks don't like/hate Trump. Not a problem. I get it. But I'd feel just a tad better if Harris knew the difference between North and South Korea and could answer questions directly and in a consistently coherent manner and not just rant on about Trump.

NB- You are correct that Trump sat down for a three-hour non-simp interview and talked about the JFKA...and his opponent avoids any such situations. Trump supporters and Harris supporters should both feel a part of the EF-JFKA, without stigmatization.

But I'd feel just a tad better if Harris knew the difference between North and South Korea and could answer questions directly and in a consistently coherent manner and not just rant on about Trump. Nick, In every Harris interview and speech that I have observed, she has been extremely articulate, insightful, and well-informed about the issues-- the precise opposite of what you are describing here. It's puzzling. Did you listen to Harris's eloquent, historic Democratic acceptance speech in Chicago? She's the precise opposite of Donald Trump-- a well-educated attorney, former Senator, and the daughter of an Emeritus Professor of Economics at Stanford and a medical research scientist. She's highly intelligent. Conversely, one of Donald Trump's former professors at Penn said that, "Donald Trump was the single worst (undergrad) student I ever taught at Wharton." Trump never read any books. Let's recall that, when Trump visited Riyadh and Tel Aviv in 2017, on his first Presidential trip abroad, Netanyahu had to inform him, tactfully, that Israel was, in fact, located in the Middle East! And we all know about Trump's bizarre bromance with North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un. As President, Trump theorized that hurricanes might be prevented with nukes, and COVID, with bleach. Now he wants to replace income taxes with 19th century tariffs. I saw a recent survey indicating a bizarre divergence in Republican and Democratic perceptions of Vice President Harris's intelligence. How do you explain this strange divergence of opinion? My hypothesis is that the divergence is about Republicans living in the MAGA disinformation bubble. Republicans think everything is terrible Edited October 28 by W. Niederhut
Matt Allison Posted October 28 Posted October 28 VP Harris was Attorney General of California. She's likely smarter than every member of this forum, myself included.
Joe Bauer Posted October 28 Posted October 28 (edited) I've been watching, listening to and reading Donald Trump for 8 years now. I've noticed he uses his own made-up avoidance, diverting, deflecting and distracting code words in situations where he is asked questions he either doesn't have an answer to or simply doesn't want to answer or he's afraid to answer honestly, fully or even partially. One assumes he thinks most people are so stupid...that they don't see what he is doing. It's a variation of lying. One code word or phrase is "I'm open" about doing something or revealing something. When he says "I'm open" about considering this or that...you can bet he isn't. "I'm open" to fully releasing my taxes. Same thing with his "I might" do this or that. This is what he is doing regards any honest release of any important JFKA records documentation imo. And any records that could truly rock the whole boat will never be released and have probably been destroyed. If our higher authority dark budget government branches kept Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama from knowing the full truth about the ET presence situation ( they were not on a "need to know" highest security clearance level ) does anyone here think they would let blabber mouthed, attention obsessed, over-talking addicted conspiracy minded Donald Trump know anything about our highest security secrets? I've restrained from posting anything political since our moderators purged such postings quite awhile ago. However, since Trump's comments about the JFKA records is an allowed thread now... I figure it's okay to postulate some in this area. Most members here probably already know where I stand regards Trump. I am literally "praying" that the election next month doesn't fracture us into two separate camps. One a U.S. Constitution abiding one and a blind loyalty cult figure following one.

Kevin Balch Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Trump referred to Mike Pompeo as “a good guy” in the interview. This tells me Trump hasn’t learned a damn thing. I found his reasons unconvincing. Trump will carry my state by a wide margin. Even though Trump would be marginally better than Harris (swapping military aid from Ukraine to our psychopathic ally in the middle east) I voted for the Green Party because of 1) their foreign policy, 2) independence for Puerto Rico and best of all 3) to piss off the democrats.

Great thinking there, Kevin... because owning the loony lib snowflakes is important, eh? 🙄 First the loony libs created Social Security, then they created Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare. What'll they think of next-- climate change mitigation and restoring pre-2001 tax rates on billionaires?
Gil Jesus Posted October 29 Posted October 29 I don't buy that the CIA is protecting sources and methods. First of all, all the sources are dead. Second of all, with all the technological advances in the last 60 years, I don't believe they're using the same methods. It's BS, IMO. Release the files, unredacted.

I've been saying all along that I'd like to see what those files say about Ruth Paine and Roy Truly. Were they connected to the CIA ? J. Walton Moore ( Dallas CIA ) asked DeMohrenschildt to "take a look" at the Oswalds. Why would the head of the Dallas CIA ask DeMohrenschildt to debrief Oswald if DeMohrenschildt wasn't CIA ? Do they usually do that with average citizens ? Then ( before he left for Haiti ) DeMohrenschildt introduced the Oswalds to Ruth Paine. Why ?

It's always great to encounter someone who's never committed a gaffe in their life. Harris didn't seem to have a problem answering questions coherently in her debate with Trump, or in any of the media interviews since.

Second of all, with all the technological advances in the last 60 years, I don't believe they're using the same methods. It's BS, IMO. Release the files, unredacted. First of all, we don't know if the human sources are all dead. A small number of people who were informants in their 20s and 30s could still be alive. And second of all, methods--which could very well involve secret relationships with foreign intelligence agencies--are almost certainly still extant after 60 years. Think about a recent situation. I seem to remember that some fool shared our intelligence on a certain region with an adversary, without realizing that it wasn't our intelligence at all, but the intelligence of an ally, and that in the process he had put numerous sources at risk. IF it were to be revealed that, say, Israel had assets in Russia in 1963, that fed us information, that could lead to a Russian round-up of the families of those involved, etc. It's a tricky situation. So, no, a release of all that's been redacted is not the best solution, IMO. Much more important, IMO, is that an effort be performed to corral documents never put in the archives--such as those recently discussed by Morley--and the interviews performed by Manchester and CBS. There is revealing info still out there, IMO, but I doubt much of it is in the archives.

Yes, it's amazing how some are reluctant to trust a woman who may only be of average intelligence, but will readily trust a man of marginal intelligence and rapidly rotting cognitive abilities. .

That's funny, I don't remember Trump having any problem backing out of: building more than 50 miles of new wall at the border, or implementing new infrastructure projects, or coming up with a replacement for Obamacare, or eliminating the national debt.

An awful lot of people are comfortable with living in the Christian Fascist police state Trump and his advisors openly promise. The key word there is "awful."
