Legal Eagle summarises why Americans should vote for Kamala
Boy howdy, I hope he loses again, but even then the problems that allowed his rise (the polarization and bifurcated post-truth echo chamber media) will still exist.
I'd love to believe that him losing would be a wake-up call to the Republican party that you can't nominate someone that sleazy, and you can't enable their little lies early on because it emboldens them to drag you along for their bigger lies later.
But he's doubtless going to get a vast majority of the Republican vote, so I have little hope of that.
I firmly believe that ranked choice voting, or some other similar voting method that doesn't mean voting for the candidate you like best means you're throwing your vote away and handing the election to the candidate you dislike most, is a necessary step in bringing US politics back toward the center.
Also? The Electoral College? It's absurd that we can have an elected president that most people didn't vote for. It's preposterous that half of Texas voters (the Democrats), or half of California voters (the Republicans) don't get a single elector. It's outdated and unnecessary. One citizen, one vote.
Did you know this? CPR
Exactly…I recall step one being “ask them if they’re ok or need help, if they respond, do not do CPR”.
The real first step is to make sure they're not just taking a nap.

Elon Musk: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
Uh oh….Twitter is now banned in Brazil, and the EU is about to heavily fine it up to 6% of its international gross or even ban it too because Musk refuses to comply with the laws and told them to “take a step back and literally fuck your own face.” when reminded he has to comply with the laws in the countries his platform is operating in.
Revenue is down 85%+ since the idiot took over. He may well be forced to sell a ton of Tesla stock to keep the doors open….unless the felon puts him in charge of “government efficiency” (meaning he could award himself government contracts and raid the treasury with no product free money contracts.)

It keeps growing. The asshole thug that physically forced his way past the guard after verbally abusing her, Justin Caporale, bragged about being a mafia thug that day, acting like a Soprano’s henchman (making the felon a criminal mob boss from a crime family).
Every dishonest denial has fallen flat because you morons bragged about it and posted the campaign photos and videos before realizing how deep you stepped in it with the total disrespect for the military and the law with this ridiculous attempt to abuse fallen soldiers as political props in campaign ads with the felon giving smiling thumbs up to graves.
Yet again, you fell for the obviously fake denial of what’s on clear video and admitted to by those involved.
Yet again you fell for the fake news.

Wow. Has any politician ever done worse than the felon trying to appeal to black voters by going to the NABJ convention and disrespecting all the black journalists in such a thin skinned infantile racist manner the crowd repeatedly burst out in laughter at his little tirades?
Doubled down on his racism against Harris (the same racist “she’s not really black” that you parroted recently among others).
Whined about the terrible treatment by “this…”woman””, and couldn’t hide his disgust at being questioned by a black woman who isn’t cow towing and fawning. Whined that she didn’t start with “hello, how are you”…but in fact she started by thanking him for being there and for his time, another pleasantry, but he had to whine about something.
Rambled incoherently and angrily.
“Whatabout BLM” and “whatabout pro Palestinian protesters” when pressed about his promise to pardon all Jan 6 attackers including those that attacked police, and then said yes he would pardon them.
Completely failed to answer questions like “why should the police officer that shot an innocent woman in the face and withheld medical care get immunity?” Or “why shouldn’t the officers that prosecuted you have immunity?” and “Why should black voters trust you?”.
Also insultingly and rudely pretended to not know what his own racist dog whistle “DEI” means (just like he doesn’t know anything about project 2025 and disagrees with that administration outline he knows nothing about and adopted as his platform) despite using it to describe VP Harris constantly.
Then his team immediately cut the interview at the halfway point at the first project 2025 question because they know he can’t keep it straight whether he’s supposed to be for it or pretend it’s terrible and has nothing to do with him when talking to this group and his answers would tend to prove the former. 😂
He overall really came off 100% racist and unhinged. Why did he go there again? The implosion is spectacular!
He’s already using this unbelievable horrific failure as another reason he won’t debate Harris…and who could blame him? If that’s how he acts when questioned respectfully with uncomfortable facts how will he handle Harris destroying him with facts and vitriol and biting wit? Either way he’s going to show who he is, a racist misogynist criminal who has 10 old talking points to trot out but no ability to think or a massive coward afraid to be seen by the public he needs to support him.
Edit: and he just can’t stop, spending the day tweeting out photos of Harris celebrating the Indian half of her heritage because in his tiny gnat brain a person apparently cannot be both Indian and black! Doubling down on racism isn’t a good look, friendo.
Ooof…the hits keep coming, Biden negotiated a massive prisoner swap with Russia that the felon couldn’t get done when he was president…something the felon said only he could ever get done (but didn’t) and Biden negotiated a 2 for 1 deal…2 political prisoners released for every Russian criminal returned including 5 countries and a 16 for 8 prisoner swap. Conversely, the felon traded deadly arms dealers for a basketball player who actually HAD broken the law by bringing marijuana to Russia.
How long before the Republican Party removes him as the candidate along with JP Mandel?
When Biden had a terrible performance at the debate he stepped aside, but despite this being exponentially worse you know the felon is incapable of any self sacrifice for any reason so what are you going to do? He just cut his black support by 3/4 and ruined any possibility of gaining any back! JD has destroyed support among women, and singles, and childless couples, and anyone who doesn’t support born again Christian sharia law. Project 2025 has destroyed any possible support from fans of democracy or America as a sovereign nation.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂New Detroit news/Michigan poll gives Trump 0% of the black vote in Michigan!😂😂😂😂😂
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-no-black-voters-michigan-poll-kamala-harris-1930542
Meanwhile JD SofaKing is saying all people who are not parents should not get to vote or hold office (and clearly neither should single parents)….disenfranchising most young people, singles, the infertile, step parents, adoptive parents, homosexual parents, even parents whose children have died. Not exactly filling up the tent, JD whatever it is this week.
He also voted to allow law enforcement to get unfettered access to private medical records, btw.

Awwww…did the thing about Hannibal Lechter hit too hard? You don’t wanna talk about how dumb the felon is, so dumb he doesn’t realize the asylum Hannibal was in is different from the asylum immigrants are requesting and that’s why he keeps bringing him up when he’s railing against immigration.
No, of course you don’t wanna talk about that…it’s real. You only want to talk about made up nonsense like the felon’s black supporters.
OMG- Nicky Haley’s super PAC has changed its name to NICKY HALEY VOTERS FOR HARRIS! Disgusted by Haley spinning 180 degrees from warning against a Trump administration to supporting one, her voters have refused to remove her name from their PAC and has renamed themselves accordingly!
Maga is terrified, trying multiple ridiculous lawsuits to bar Harris from the candidacy, bar PACS from supporting her, bar donors from donating, anything to stop her because she is infinitely more qualified and acceptable than your felonious dottering octogenarian child raping candidate.
It probably wasn’t too smart of Vance to alienate all “childless” people in America (including childless men, step parents, adoptive parents, even parents of dead children) publicly calling them “childless cat women who hate their lives and shouldn’t have a say in government”. 😂
😂 Raskin evicerated consummate failure Comer on Fox, thanking him for doing such a magnificent job exonerating Joe Biden of all the fraudulent charges that were raised against him because of course there was no high crime or misdemeanor, exonerated more thoroughly than anyone ever has been. 😂
What Happens Now That Biden Dropped Out?
Joe stayed in until his planned Trump assassination attempt failed.
If successful then Joe would have be an easy win.
Since it failed Joe came up with "COVID" as an excuse to step out.
Now the $ people will put up KH as not to rock the boat until the Dem Convention and possible swap her out.
If kept they will puppet string control her just like they have been doing with JOE.

Love how Gaetz’s total lack of self control, trying to force his way into a live interview to talk shit about McCarthy like a baby with no manners just reminded the country that he is under an ethics investigation for repeatedly paying YOUNG minors for sex and flying the young girls across state lines for drug fueled underage orgies.
MAGA IS 100% PEDOPHILES AND PEDOPHILE PROTECTORS, MANY LIKE BOEBERT AND GAETZ’S PARTY PARTNER CONVICTED (SOUND FAMILIAR?), LED BY AN EPSTIEN LEVEL RAPIST OF 13 YEAR OLD GIRLS WHICH YOU EXCUSE AND POO POO, AND EVERY DAY MORE OF YOUR LEADERS ARE CAUGHT RAPING CHILDREN, SHOOTING AT STRIPPERS THEY RAPED, RAPING BOYS, TRAFFICKING CHILDREN FOR DRUG FUELED ORGIES, ETC…NOT DEMOCRATS.
Hilariously, as if to prove it, you idiots had Pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-slut walking, professional pornstar and only fans model with her “bash my slash” forehead tattoo speak at the convention to advertise her half off subscription to her Only Fans site coupon to the MAGA crowd in the hope that some of the 25 million porn viewers will translate into votes. Unfortunately for you, they know part of the Trump plan is to outlaw pornography and recreational sex, so good fucking luck morons.
Another nice moral and Godly attempt to defraud from the “Christian Right”.

Here’s page 11 out of 53 and rising daily, each page with 25 Republican sex criminals listed. You need to see every single one and it still won’t be enough to register in your micro encephalitic brain.
251 Pennsylvania Republican State Sen. John Peterson, later elected to Congress - sexual harassment, grabbing a woman’s breast. See the screenshot
252 Neil Bush, the S&L grifter of the Bush family, sex tourism in Thailand and Hong Kong. We know what sex tourists are looking for in Thailand.
253 James Woods, actor and right-wing provocateur, was accused by Amber Tamblyn of trying to pick her up when she was underage. Since then many other women have come forward
254 Ted Nugent, alleged musician and right-wing provocateur who joked about assassinating Obama, beloved friend of moralist Huckabee - sex with underage girls
255 Gregory Nathan Peterson, Utah Republican fundraiser charged with 21 charges of rape, forcible sexual abuse and battery, two charges of aggravated kidnapping, one charge of assault and one charge of felony burglary. Committed suicide while on bail.
256 NH GOP Representative Robert Fisher created The Red Pill Reddit site which is known for its tips on how to get away with rape, etc.
257 Union County GA GOP Chairman - attempted rape and it was broadcast on internet
258 WI GOP Rep. Roger Rivard on the list for excusing and enabling rape by saying “some girls rape easy.”
259 NJ GOP candidate for town council Mike Krawitz had to resign after threatening, wishing reporter would be raped.
260 Rory A. Koch, committee administrator for the Minnesota House Republicans, child pornography
261 Former GOP Walton Co. Commissioner Lane Rees - child pornography
262 James "Dub" Maines, formerly GOP Rep. Joe Barton's deputy district director - child pornography
263 Joseph Hayon, Midwood Republican Who Ran On Family Values Platform, Confesses To Viewing Child Pornography
264 Charlotte Tea Party leader - child porn and had the nerve to claim it was how he self-medicated for an autistic disorder and depression from a failed relationship
265 Southern Baptist Convention leader and Trump religion advisor Frank Page resigns over moral failings
266 Far right religious leader Mark Aderholt - sex with underage girls, sexual assault. Church organization knew and ignored it.
267 Former Judge, Baptist Leader, Republican Paul Pressler - sexual abuse/assault underage men.
268 Larry Weinstein, Northampton Township Supervisor and former campaign manager for GOP Rep. Scott Petri and his girlfriend charged with indecently assaulting unconscious woman
269 GOP Commissioner John Butler and his wife sexually abused his underage niece. He was pardoned by Gov. Jack Ryan.
270 Anti-Choice Congressman Tim Murphy forced to resign for hostile work environment/harassment and asked his lover to have an abortion.
271 GOP Commissioner Jack Gardner of Millersville, PA was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old girl, pled guilty. 30 years later he’s on the City Commission. See the screenshot, story is in NewsBank.
Screen_Shot_2018-11-01_at_8.00.13_PM.png
272 Lincoln County GOP commissioner and town clerk Merril Robert Barter of Boothbay Harbor - molesting an underage boy while at the State Republican Convention.
273 Michigan GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Bill Schuette. This is what he does on camera! OMG, what does he do when no one is looking?
274 Broward Co Florida GOP Party Secretary Rupert Tarsey attacked a woman, a classmate, with a hammer & they did not force him out of office
275 Republican congressional candidate Denver Riggleman stepped in on Monday to claim that rape and sexual assault can be prevented by “educating females.” Not women, females. Female does not mean human, there are female animals/insects.
Sen. Robert Menendez Guilty On All Counts
Democrats like Senator Cory Booker are calling for him to step down, and threatening to expel him quickly if he does not.
This in stark contrast to the crime syndicate party that just nominated a 34 time convicted felon, multiple time convicted business and charity fraud, and adjudicated rapist as their leader and stands behind every other felon in their party, promising blanket pardons to all as inaugural party favors and a dictatorial administration that is above the law.
Secret Service July 14th
SHOCKER!
I’m correct.
Local police were tasked with 1) clearing and securing that building 2) searching the crowd 3) controlling the crowd and keeping them off structures 4) covering that rooftop with local police snipers 5) responding to being notified there’s a shooter on the roof.
Local police failed at every single step.
They swept the publicly accessible building EARLY THAT MORNING not near the event time, they allowed a crowd within view of the candidate but outside security, they had no one watching those elevated positions or keeping people off them, the local sniper assigned to watch that set of buildings seems to be missing or never assigned, they 100% dropped the ball when they were told a man with a gun was seen in the area acting suspicious long before he was on the roof, and again once when he was on the roof for near a full minute while the crowd pointed and screamed.
Ultimately the Secret Services responsibility, but not their failure. They followed long standing procedure to the T from every report. Still no word on whether there were fewer police than requested…or why….but non payment of dozens of past security bills, sticking it to the venues would be a likely reason if there were.
Another shocker, initial reports are correct, he is a conservative Republican gun advocate (but awful shot) lone wolf white male American. Right wing media reports claiming that he’s really a Democrat who registered Republican to vote against Trump in the primary have been proven to be outright bold faced lies. He was unpopular at his mostly liberal high school because he was a staunch often insulting conservative and did not hide it at all.
"...Were there fewer police/security because the campaign is notorious for never paying them maybe? ??
So you just talking out of you ass again ???
And down vote? Why because the shooter missed?
Trump Is Immune - LegalEagle analysis
WRONG.
The invalid and corrupt SCOTUS changed the law to make “official acts” by one person, the president, above the law, can’t even be scrutinized…which has NEVER been the case, indeed our government was designed to avoid exactly that. NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW has been the American motto since its inception. That creed has now been invalidated by this unfathomable decision which adds the asterisk “*except the president when acting officially” while intentionally leaving open the question of what is an official act and what isn’t, allowing for uneven, unequal, inconsistent application based on politics or payoffs, not law or facts.
They did say acts by the POTUS in or outside their authority can be prostituted…legalizing bribery so long as the policy change comes before the final check. A Freudian slip you got correct. That was another change this extremist court just made.
Once again since you cannot read or comprehend what you’ve been told repeatedly, the position was not fear mongering about hypotheticals, it was pointing out the specific anti democratic crimes already committed and those promised by one candidate in their campaign of retribution against the non cultists…the exact examples brought up during arguement that were just determined to be legal, like the assassination of a political rival by the military. That is not hypothetical now, they ruled on it precisely.
LIAR.
No President has ever needed immunity for official acts before Trump because none ever tried to commit felonies then hide behind their authority as president (Nixon tried, but like Trump his crimes were definitely unofficial acts not official no matter how he tried to make them official, not presidential orders but campaign activities just like the coup, but he had the moral fortitude to step down and go away, Trump would rather burn it all down.)
Explain why Trump needs immunity if he didn’t commit crimes.
SCOTUS upheld what always been. Acts done with in POTUS authority are immune from prosecution. Acts done outside of POTUS authority can be criminal and prostituted. Nothing changed nothing added nothing removed.
From the SCOTUS ruling " the dissents position in the end boil down ignoring the Constitution's separation of powers and the Courts precedent and instead fear mongering of extreme hypotheticals.

Uh oh….Kushner’s $3.7 BILLION that he raked in while in the White House (not elected) and the Saudi refinancing that helped pay off his $1.8 BILLION in real estate debt only AFTER he had a meeting with the Saudis and changed US policy to help them blockade Quatar (who had refused to refinance his real estate and who said clearly and officially that they interpreted the military blockade and troops on their border as “If you don’t pay me or my father in law the Americans are going to sanction an invasion of your country.”) is under congressional investigation by the senate finance committee.
He also sold lists of foreign agents who were killed and sold them billions in arms we previously refused to sell them, and hid his direct involvement in the assasination of an American journalist. The crown prince brags he has Kushner (and therefore Trump) in his pocket (thanks to billions in bribes).
The investigation also involves implications that laws requiring registration of foreign agents and foreign investments have been not just ignored but actively broken possibly to hide the sale of stolen classified documents. The hundreds of millions in “fees” paid to failed real estate investor Kushner every year for “managing the over $3 billion of foreign money (not one cent invested in America) are also incredibly shady and are not properly reported.
Just to be clear because I know you cannot follow along…Kushner sold official US foreign policy (blockading Quatar), state secrets (our intelligence about our allies agents), and helped hide a live dismemberment murder of an American (Kashogi) for up to $3.6 billion to invest, $1.8 billion in “refinancing” (paid off his debts) and a hundred million +- per year for doing it…and is going to be under congressional investigation (along with his wife and step dad).
Pretty much exactly what you morons CLAIMED about Hunter but could find no evidence whatever of ANY payments or policy shifts, none. Now being investigated.
Er-mer-gerd! The campaign paid $75-$125 to attend the rally in Las Vegas…$75 to show up, $50 more if you get on a broadcast….and it still wasn’t a big crowd!
At least you know where your campaign contributions are going…to feed one convicted felon’s ego.
